You list the price. For some assignments, I already know how to do them but they are boring. For others, I need a general idea on how to do them. I will discuss this on a platform 'anonymously' outside of Bitcointalk, because I do not want to be permanently dismissed for academic dishonesty.
Also, you better have a good record of transactions here on Bitcointalk (Activity and post count does not matter). I want at least an A+, because that's how much my current average is.
Subject:
College level Pre-calculus, written assignments that include calculations. Don't worry much about grammar, I will proofread and adjust the assignment before I turn it in.
Did you get this done? |

Digital startup to track product origins http://www.thehindu.com/specials/impact-journalism-day-2017/digital-startup-to-track-product-origins/article19126102.ece
It was when Jessi Baker was studying for her PhD in computer science that she realised her passion project was becoming too important to ignore. She put her PhD on hold and, armed with zeal for digital disruption, focused her attention full time on Provenance.
The software platform is a means to help people find out where products are sourced from, and how ethically and sustainably. It is designed to improve the transparency of supply chains and, at the same time, promote brands that commit to ethical sourcing, fair working conditions, quality and sustainability.
At the heart of Provenance is blockchain technology, which is best known for powering the paperless, bankless and stateless currency Bitcoin. Blockchain is a means of recording and storing enormous amounts of transactional data. The data, which is unique and cannot be tampered with, can include contracts, receipts, and supplier spreadsheets. Provenance data can be linked to any physical product, from coffee beans to fish, through labelling, smart tags and embeds for websites or apps.

http://www.business-standard.com/article/management/bitcoins-neurosciences-drive-demand-for-blended-programmes-at-iim-a-117062100383_1.html
Riding on the back of rising demand for programmes on newer subjects like design thinking, digital marketing, Bitcoins and Blockchain, the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A) has seen a significant rise in blended management development programmes (MDPs) this year.
In a bid to tap the growing online executive education market among the corporates, IIM-A will be offering six programmes that are blended or a mix of online and offline, Arvind Sahay, chairperson-MDP, IIM-A told Business Standard.
"This year we hope to have about six programmes that are blended (mix of online and offline). This is a substantial increase over last year - and will increase more next year. We are also going to have about 5 programmes that we are going to be delivering internationally across different countries in Asia," said Sahay.

U.N. glimpses into blockchain future with eye scan payments for refugeeshttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/international-business/u-n-glimpses-into-blockchain-future-with-eye-scan-payments-for-refugees/articleshow/59246766.cms
Thousands of Syrian refugees in Jordan's Azraq camp don't pay for their food with cash but by a scan of their eyes.
Purchases are then recorded on a computing platform based on blockchain - the technology behind bitcoin.
Iris recognition devices at the checkouts of the camp's supermarket authenticate customers' identities and deduct what they spend from sums they receive as aid from the World Food Programme (WFP).
The U.N. agency launched the futuristic system in May as a one-month pilot involving 10,000 of Azraq's more than 50,000 inhabitants in a bid to explore blockchain's potential to cut costs and bottlenecks.
It is now looking to scale up the project to reach more than 100,000 refugees in several camps across Jordan by the end of the year.
"We feel this is a starting point," said WFP's director of innovation, Robert Opp. "There are a number of potential uses of blockchain that could dramatically change the way we reach people in terms of our efficiency, effectiveness and security."
Blockchain, which first emerged as the system underpinning the virtual currency bitcoin, is a digital shared record of transactions maintained by a network of computers on the internet, without the need of a centralised authority.

Blockchain land recordshttp://www.livemint.com/Opinion/ZcXOLqUxkItMtdhIwJqkQM/Blockchain-land-records.html
Dealing in real estate in India is hard. According to the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business survey, India ranks 138th in the world in difficulty in registering property. But we don’t need an international survey to tell us this. As anyone who has transacted with property in India will testify, everything to do with transferring interest or title in real estate, be it something as simple as leasing a flat or as complex as developing a commercial project across multiple land parcels, is complicated and mired in intricacy and uncertainty.
Central to any real estate transactions is the question of title and unfortunately, it is still very hard to confirm whether a seller in India actually has title to the property he intends to sell. While the law requires transfers of title and interest in property to be registered, this only provides limited assurance as transfers can be assailed in many ways—from family members who claim title through inheritance to unknown third parties who try and assert their right to specific performance.
In India (as is true of most common law countries), ownership rights to property are proved through title deeds—a chain of documents that evidence the transfer of title from person to person over the years all the way to the current owners. The problem is that any one of these intermediate transactions is capable of being challenged under the principle of nemo dat quod non habet—one cannot give that which he does not own. If we are to introduce greater certainty into the real estate business, we must devise a mechanism by which transfers cannot be set aside.

Cryptocurrencies: the world beyond bitcoinshttp://www.livemint.com/Money/d9Xt1QNdx7ED6iyaMZfajI/Cryptocurrencies-the-world-beyond-bitcoins.html
In the last couple of months, bitcoins have been in the headlines due to volatility in prices. For instance, on 4 May, bitcoin breached the Rs1 lakh mark; and on 24 May it breached Rs2 lakh mark. On 20 June, bitcoin was trading around Rs1.89 lakh. Experts attribute the rally to Japanese government’s move to legalize bitcoins and its acceptance by large e-commerce companies. Popular as it is, bitcoin is just one of the several cryptocurrencies around. According to Coinmarketcap.com, a website that tracks cryptocurrencies, on 20 June there were 757 cryptocurrencies. Bitcoins top the list, followed by ethereum and ripple.
Mint Money takes a look at some of the major cryptocurrencies in the world.

Govt to decide on bitcoin framework next week
http://www.dnaindia.com/business/report-govt-to-decide-on-bitcoin-framework-next-week-2477609
To deliberate upon the framework of virtual/cryptocurrencies, the finance ministry has convened a meeting of all key officials next week.
The meeting was earlier scheduled for Monday but was later postponed, according to people close to the development.
The issue of whether virtual currencies or bitcoins should be banned, regulated or self-regulated is being deliberated for sometime. The meeting will be attended by Niti Aayog vice chairman Arvind Panagariya, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governor Urijit Patel, Securities and Exchange Board of India chairman Ajay Tyagi and other key officials.
Last month the government had sought comments from the public on platform MyGov for deciding the viability or other wise of virtual currencies. "In case VCs are not suggested to be regulated: What should be the effective self-regulatory mechanism? (and) what measures should be adopted to ensure consumer protection in this scenario?" the government had asked the public.

Bitcoin: Unlikely to be legalised but difficult to ban, says govt officialhttp://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/economy/govt-panel-on-finalising-report-on-bitcoin-regulation-2307647.html
The government will soon take a call on whether India should regulate virtual currencies such as bitcoins—a cryptocurrency used as a digital mode of payment.
A committee comprising officials from finance ministry, NITI Aayog, ministry of information technology, State Bank of India and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is giving final touches to a report on the way forward for virtual currencies in India and whether or not to legalise or regulate them.
The panel is also examining the existing international framework on virtual currencies and will suggest measures on consumer protection and prevent money laundering.

Bitcoin drops to three-week low on profit taking
http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/markets/stocks/news/bitcoin-drops-to-three-week-low-on-profit-taking/articleshow/59177837.cmsBitcoin fell to a three-week low on Thursday as investors took profits partly in response to a bearish report from Goldman Sachs as well as concerns about a Chinese bitcoinminer's plan to undertake a "hard fork" that will result in a split in the digital currency.
The virtual currency relies on "mining" computers that validate blocks of transactions by competing to solve mathematical puzzles every 10 minutes. The first to solve the puzzle and clear the transaction is rewarded with new bitcoins.

Bitcoin tumbles most in more than two years after record runhttp://www.livemint.com/Money/BcJMMYpxb8Xm7fWiunlAhM/Bitcoin-tumbles-most-in-more-than-two-years-after-record-run.html
Bitcoin sunk as much as 19%, putting the digital currency on pace for its worst week since January 2015, as volatility climbs following a record-setting surge in the price.
After flirting with $3,000 on 12 June, the cryptocurrency has retreated to as low as $2,076.16 in intraday trading. Other digital coins are also falling. The decline coincides with a slide in technology stocks that began after a report from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. warned that low volatility in the biggest tech stocks may be blinding investors to risks like cyclicality and regulation.
One of Goldman Sachs’s technical analysts, Sheba Jafari, sent out a note early this week saying bitcoin was poised for a reversal. Analysts at Morgan Stanley wrote in a report on Wednesday that bitcoin needs government acceptance and regulation in order to keep climbing.

Bitcoin, the new hawalahttp://blogs.economictimes.indiatimes.com/et-commentary/bitcoin-the-new-hawala/
Hawala is a system of transferring money and property in a parallel arrangement avoiding the traditional banking system. It is a simple way of money laundering and is banned in India. But a new hi-tech form of hawala has appeared: the digital currency, bitcoin. As a result of GoI’s demonetisation initiative, today, there is a flood of such digital transactions in the country.
Bitcoins are a kind of cryptocurrency, in the sense of them being conceptual. They are manufactured using software, by solving complex mathematical problems, and cryptology having market values. By solving one such problem nearly 12-and-a-half bitcoins are generated.
The idea of bitcoin emerged in October 2008 from a research paper by someone or someones by the name of Satoshi Nakamoto. The purchase process using bitcoin is so secure that it isn’t possible to hack the system. Only a money transfer can be seen, but nothing can be known about the sender and the recipient. This type of anonymity, with its strong cryptological security, is ensured by those dealing with bitcoins.

Big correction on crypto-street: Bitcoin, other digital currencies crash 10-20%http://www.moneycontrol.com/news/technology/big-correction-on-crypto-street-bitcoin-other-digital-currencies-crash-10-20-2305083.htmlThe cryptocurrency market is painted red as major currencies witnessed double-digit fall in the past 24 hours, as per Coinmarketcap.com.
A flurry of news events like cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex being hit by a DDoS attack, an Australian politician calling for stricter regulation around bitcoin and major mining hardware producer Bitmain's announcement that it may launch a “hard fork” in August which could have triggered this correction.
This 15% dump was brought to you by Bitmain. Bitmain: "we short #Bitcoin before we launch some insane fud."
