Removing the borders: Exscudo innovative cross-border payments solutionNowadays one can take a trip around the world within 24 hours and visit six continents in less than three days: technical progress has blurred the state borders. However, freedom of movement is not directly related to financial freedom. Financial borders are still there and cross-border payments leave much to be desired. Most of the cross-border payments are executed via bilateral correspondent banking relationships. They are expensive, slow, and non-transparent. In 2015, a McKinsey survey on consumer cross-border payments found that consumers typically pay a fee of €20 to €60. And this does not even guarantee the timely delivery: although most cross-border payments could in theory be executed in one to two days, the survey revealed that a typical retail cross – border payment takes three to five working days to complete. Besides, the complex process of cross-border transaction depends heavily on human factor: about 51 percent of B2B payments are still made by paper checks and more than 60% of payments require manual intervention. When designing EON blockchain we were thinking about how wonderful it would be to pay everywhere as easily as if you are not abroad. That’s what EON offers, one service, your real private money. You only need Internet connection to access your funds, and your money is stored in the decentralized EON network. It means, it can be in America, in Mexico, in Asia – everywhere where the EON nodes work.You can travel around the world with only one card without paying big commissions to intermediaries. EON itself almost does not charge any commissions – they are only withheld by the acquirer banks. You may ask, what about the volatility of cryptocurrencies? Indeed, it is one of the main factors which keep them from the mainstream adoption. Main functions of any usable currency is to be stable, secure and fast. In Exscudo we decided to introduce these features to EON. We solve the volatility problem by two options: by issuing bonds for fiat currencies and by making a common index for a group of cryptocurrencies, which in general mass will not give such a volatility. Besides all, Exscudo is not only about facilitating access to one’s money from any part of the world. Exscudo is an ecosystem of many sophisticated elements, which work perfectly together. It is a marketplace for beginners and professional traders, financial institutions and institutional investors. https://blog.exscudo.com/exscudo/removing-the-borders-exscudo-innovative-cross-border-payments-solution/

Matchpool is now on the mainnet! New Chat & iOS app in development Matchpool launches version 2.2 of the alpha on the Ethereum mainnet, with new and improved ‘Discussion’ renamed as ‘Chat’ + Matchpool iOS app in development, first look at the new design. What you need to know about $GUP and how it can be used inside the Matchpool app: Up until now, Matchpool has been running on the Ropsten network, one of Ethereum’s testnets. All transactions of ‘XGUP’ have been used to test how the $GUP utility tokens would be transacted before using real $GUP inside our app and moving on to the Ethereum main-network. Starting today, ‘XGUP’ is being replaced with $GUP on the mainnet. What can I do with $GUP? Using MetaMask, you can load up your $GUP wallet and use $GUP to create or join a community on Matchpool. Set an entrance fee in $GUP for your own pool, or choose to pay $GUP to enter someone else’s pool. PPM (Pay-per-match) and other use cases for the token will be implemented in the upcoming releases of our app. The pool owner, of course, can still completely keep his pool free of charge if he decides to. You will need some ETH to transact Guppies, as most of you already know. A handy tool that allows you to calculate transaction costs and estimate an optimal gas price for your transaction is ETH Gas Station. https://blog.matchpool.com/matchpool-is-now-on-the-mainnet-new-chat-ios-app-in-development-37eeb1cc7478

Peerplays Sports Betting Could “Uberize” Industry for Millionshttp://www.sportsandpolitics.org/peerplays-sports-betting-uberize-industry/Peerplays Director of Intelligence Michael Maloney is one of the individuals leading the development of the platform, and shared many details about its inception and progression. Peerplays could possibly revolutionize the sports betting industry because it allows a wider expansion of an age-old practice of a wager on a sporting event between private individuals. In the same way that ride-sharing services like Uber have replaced traditional taxi services for many people, Peerplays will enable individuals to eliminate the need for traditional bookies in their sports betting.

Winnie Lingham: ICOs are not the same as they used to beAt the Blockchain Expo 2017 conference, held recently in Silicon Valley, a well-known investor Vinnie Lingham gave advice to those who are going to start ICO. Vinnie believes that here comes the end of the crazy time, when a certain team that appeared from nowhere about a couple of months ago could have collected several million dollars with a beautiful idea and well-written “white paper” only. The present-day ICO investor carefully examines the Linkedin profiles of the team members, considers the projects they have been involved in and monitors their activity in social networks. That is all due to the tremendous growth of competition in the ecosystem. In September some cryptocurrency market participants were complaining that 65 ICOs a week is too much, but everything is relative: already in November 20 ICOs per day have been launching. Therefore, despite the fact that the funds invested in blockchain projects continue to grow, the share for each ICO decreases. Vinnie says that currently the actual amount of funds that can be raised during a successful ICO is $8–10 million. Moreover, investors prefer investing in the projects which already have the product and which are raising funds for its further development. So it should be noted that Descrow fully meets the market requirements: the market is becoming more and more selective, it needs only promising projects of high quality. For it is absolutely unacceptable to waste time with scam when there is tough competition in place. And our project is fully devoted to the goal of finding and supporting qualified ICOs. https://medium.com/@Descrow/winnie-lingham-icos-are-not-the-same-as-they-used-to-be-df634a9aa09d

Joe Theismann Backing New DFS Site: No Limit Fantasy Sports No Limit Fantasy Sports is Looking To Change the Game Daily Fantasy is a massive business that has changed how we watch sports. Millions of fans love playing in weekly DFS games against friends and co-workers or compete in mega tournaments for huge prizes. The big dogs in the daily fantasy world are DraftKings and Fanduel who control 90% of the industry. Smaller Daily Fantasy sites have started up but many have failed to compete. Each new DFS site has tried offering unique wrinkles to the game or tried to create an alternative format to building a lineup in each sport, but none have focused on the user experience, until now. No Limit Fantasy Sports is a new DFS site that wants to increase the prize pool for its users. Same game but with bigger payouts. Backed by NFL QB Joe Theismann and Johnny Chan (world’s best poker player) as brand ambassadors, No Limit Fantasy Sports are looking to make their mark in the Daily Fantasy Sports world. By controlling such a large stake in the DFS industry, DraftKings and FanDuel have the ability to set any price or fee. This factor significantly affects player returns. No Limit Fantasy Sports rake is half the standard, at 5%. Head to head games will be 2.5% and even as low as 1% for high stakes contests. Also, they limit the number of teams to reasonable levels so everyone playing has a fair opportunity to win based on their skill of selection. Feedback from the Slack community (which anybody can join and directly speak to the team and other members) has a direct influence on the structure and games. Joe Theismann is a legendary professional football player and was the quarterback for the Washington Redskins for 12 seasons, where he was two-time All-Pro and led the team to consecutive Super Bowls, winning Super Bowl XVII. Johnny Chan is a poker legend, who has won 10 World Series of Poker bracelets. He also won the 1987 and 1988 World Series of Poker main events. hope to path the way for a new direction in the Daily Sports industry, one in favor of the player by introducing new features never seen before in fantasy sports. https://gridironexperts.com/no-limit-fantasy-sports
