Following its hard fork on May 15, bitcoin cash (BCH) appears to have experienced a two-block chain reorganization resulting in a 3,392 BCH (about $1.35 million at press time) double spend. The claim was made in a report released by the research arm of cryptocurrency derivatives exchange BitMex on May 24. Per the report, the recent BCH hard fork experienced three interrelated issues. Firstly, an apparent bug evidently exploited by an attacker right after the hard fork. The attacker was able to “broadcast transactions which met the mempool validity conditions but failed the consensus checks.” Miners attempting to produce blocks with said transactions were not able to, instead producing empty blocks. https://cointelegraph.com/news/bch-may-have-sustained-13-million-double-spend-bitmex-research

Ethereum (ETH) co-founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed creating an on-chain smart contract-based ether mixer in a note on collaborative development platform HackMD on May 24. In his note, Buterin argues that the Ethereum ecosystem needs more privacy, and points out that the default behavior is to do everything through a single account, allowing for all of the user’s activities to be linked to each other. Furthermore, he notes that simply spreading the ether across multiple addresses is not a solution, since the transactions sending ETH to those wallets connect them. Buterin also linked to a Twitter thread where it has been brought to his attention that to apply for the HumanityDAO initiative, users are asked to simply tweet their Ethereum address. Twitter user Mooncritic noted: “You can now look up many people's Ethereum balance by their Twitter handle.” https://cointelegraph.com/news/ethereum-co-founder-vitalik-buterin-proposes-creating-on-chain-ether-mixer

Maybe so no one is interested in buying this coin but I do not guarantee that it is true and I am quite surprised that the volume is still 0 from the start of the launch and most importantly let's just monitor the development Too big order is on the first sale, so investors are afraid to buy coins.We need to wait for the team to take further action.But while I am optimistic about the exchange, it is only a few days from launch. Right what you say, the number of orders is too large, I think the people who make the sale are campaign participants, so they sell at low prices, don't think they will lose, because they get results not with capital Bounty participants are used to it, but it is an opportunity for investors if they want to buy DECOIN at a cheap price Bounty participants don't have 500 BTC worth tokens, It's some investor who has a huge sell order. It will take a long time to buy that wall. If they remove the $0.9 limit then it would go faster.. It's not one sell order, there are a lot of sell orders at one price, so they look like a single order:) I know that, I have seen previously single 500k orders move around orderbook. A bounty hunter cannot have that much coins, Only big investors have it. I'm thinking of holding Decoin for long term.. I think the fantastic amount, but Decoin is still not in the coinmarketcap, where did you see the 500k order? https://www.decoin.io/trade/#DTEP/BTC 347 btc order

Awareness and interest among Italian citizens, companies and institutions, is increasing steadily, but experimentation is not growing. The finance sector knows advantages of new hi-tech frontiers, like open banking, Bitcoin (BTC), smart contracts, artificial intelligence (AI), cryptocurrency, internet of things (IoT), blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT). Albeit, hazards, risks, technical difficulties and lack of necessary skills are major hindrances of growth and development of innovations in the country. The latest study conducted by Deloitte and the Fintech & Insurtech Observatory of Politecnico di Milano, evaluates the ongoing work in the field of open banking, blockchain and artificial intelligence. The survey found out that, in open banking, 84% of respondents (finance managers) have already started exploring Fintech, 77% still need to prepare themselves for this infrastructure so as to manage the phenomenon better. https://coinidol.com/interest-increases-daily/

In an effort to fight modern slavery in supply chains, major companies are exploring and experimenting with blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT). Ascertaining whether products especially minerals including cobalt, gold, copper, etc., are obtained and produced decently is very hard when it comes to supply chains since it is a complex process. For instance, there are a lot of middlemen involved in the cobalt supply chain, these middlemen purchase and mix cobalt that has been mined in different mining places, hence making it hard for buyers including battery manufacturers to effectively trace where the mineral exactly is sourced from. https://coinidol.com/blockchain-combat-slavery/

Bahamas plans to introduce strong regulations for token and cryptocurrency sales, intending to make the country a better place for digital currency and blockchain businesses. The Securities Commission officially filed a draft of the bill back in March seeking to regulate token offerings that are not considered securities. Bahamas is not the first island country to show interest in cryptocurrencies or introduce such bills. Back in June last year, Malta through its Financial Services Authority ( MFSA), passed 3 laws that enables the issuance and trade of digital currencies such as Bitcoin, Ether, Ripple, etc., within its borders, and this has attracted big exchanges such as Binance to take its services there. https://coinidol.com/bahamas-regulate-cryptocurrency/
