On Tuesday morning, Cryptopia, a lesser-known crypto exchange centered around small cap assets, took to Twitter to release a harrowing piece of news. Company representatives claimed that on January 14th, Cryptopia, a platform that trades approximately $1 million of digital assets each and every day, “suffered a security breach.”

Lucky for me I had no funds there, what about you guys? I hope this does not turn out to be a big loss for lot's of users.

Electroneum (ETN)’s instant payment is now live. This centralized and decentralized platform lets you complete a POS or online checkout instantaneously. Instead of waiting minutes for a transaction to manifest on blockchain, or waiting for 24 hours for a bank release your funds, Electroneum’s platform lets the recipient send goods immediately, thanks to its never-before-seen ability to guarantee the funds. Here’s how Electroneum’s instant payment works.

One Reddit user tested the speed and was able to get an instant notification from the USA to Japan in 2.7 seconds with a single refresh. The transaction appeared on the blockchain within a few minutes after. Additionally, the user tried a USA to USA transactions. They were able to send Electroneum in 3-4 seconds with instant payment.

I think this is a game changer for crypto, what do you guys think? Electroneum aims for the masses that don't understand crypto.

Sorry this service is unavailable now.

Masternodes

Cryptonote munt wallets kunnen werken via een externe daemon zonder blockchain te hoeven downloaden. Hiermee kan snel worden gestart wanneer dat nodig is. Het is best veilig omdat een externe daemon je munten niet kan stelen, terwijl je eigen node natuurlijk veiliger is. Maar deze externe nodes worden hoe dan ook niet beloond in een CN-coin. Alleen in Qwertycoin worden dergelijke externe nodes beloond voor hun service.

Een Masternode is dus een CLI Qwertycoin daemon die draait op een machine met open poort die het mogelijk maakt om verbinding te maken voor lichte wallets en, als belangrijkste, mobiele wallets in de toekomst. Qwertycoin-wallets, verbonden met een Masternode, betalen kleine bedragen aan die node wanneer er transacties doorheen worden verzonden. Deze vergoedingen helpen om de kosten van het draaien van een masternode te dekken.

Deze Masternodes bieden services die nodig zijn voor mobiele wallets en helpen daarnaast bij het onderhouden en vergroten van het Qwertycoin-netwerk. We hebben plannen om dergelijke nodes in de toekomst nog meer te stimuleren.

Om een eigen Qwertycoin-masternode te starten heb je slechts een machine nodig met statische IP en open poort. De machine moet voldoende CPU-vermogen hebben om de belasting te verwerken bij het verwerken van de blockchain voor verbonden wallets, het kan zelfs een reserve-pc thuis zijn. Op zo'n computer kun je een qwertycoin daemon uitvoeren door een walletadres op te geven waarbij de vergoedingen naar het goede adres gaan:



Je kan elk walletadres opgeven, dit kan uw eigen GUI walletadres zijn, zelfs een papieren wallet. Dit is de wallet waarop je de vergoedingen krijgt.

Je moet ervoor zorgen dat je poort open is en niet wordt geblokkeerd door een firewall. Als je thuis achter de router werkt, moet je port forwarding instellen.

Als je thuis een pc hebt die constant draait met een snelle verbinding en statische IP en een dergelijke Masternode wil gebruiken om het Qwertycoin-netwerk te helpen, voer dan de daemon uit zoals in het voorbeeld en stuur me je IP zodat ik die kan toevoegen aan de standaardknooppuntenlijst (stuur een PM naar de Engelse topic-opener).

Je kan checken of je node draait door het IP in de browser in te voeren zoals in het voorbeeld
vervolgens zie je iets soortgelijks: met je wallet adres waar de vergoedingen heen moeten.

Je kan ook een Masternode op VPS uitvoeren met een speciaal domein en hier publiceren met een beschrijving, zodat mensen uw node handmatig kunnen toevoegen als zij daar de voorkeur aan geven. Het wordt niet aanbevolen om nu een node op VPS uit te voeren, speciaal voor Qwertycoin, doe dit alleen als je al over een VPS beschikt en hij nu niets draait.

Verwacht niet dat je op dit moment al veel kunt verdienen aan de vergoedingen, omdat men nog weinig masternodes gebruikt.

GREAT NEWS!!!

South Korea’s government has confirmed it has “no intention” of banning or “suppressing” cryptocurrency trading in fresh comments on the industry.

‘No Intention To Ban’

In comments Wednesday quoted by Reuters, finance minister Kim Dong-yeon, who earlier in January said that a shutdown was still a possibility, finally ended apprehension surrounding the future of cryptocurrency trading in the country.

Kim had faced a 200,000-strong petition demanding he be fired from his position after the comments, which along with those by justice minister Park Sang-ki, sent shock waves through cryptocurrency markets and sparked public outrage.

“There is no intention to ban or suppress cryptocurrency,” he said.

The confirmation may come as less of a surprise to some, as Seoul moves forward with regulatory improvements to the exchange sector at breakneck speed in recent weeks.

In addition to tax and security obligations, an anonymous trading ban became law Tuesday, with exchanges now obliged to ensure account identities match those of bank accounts.

The pace of change is already causing teething problems, however, as Bitcoinist reported as the ban commenced that big-volume exchanges were finding it considerably easier to work with banks to stay compliant.

Conversely, smaller exchanges faced being cut off from the market through lack of compliance as banks failed to cope with demand. This, sources say, could see one million users caught out.

This is great news! Korea is still in the crypto game

After much “will they or won’t they”, the South Korean government has finally implemented cryptocurrency trading regulations. What will that mean for the crypto market? Let’s find out.

The big news in the cryptocurrency space today is that the long-awaited South Korean regulations have come into effect. This is a topic that made headlines earlier this month when rumors that the South Korean government would implement an outright ban on cryptocurrency hit the press. These rumors subsequently turned out to be false, but not before kicking off a strongly bearish trend in the price of bitcoin and much of the wider cryptocurrency space.

The rules that the South Korean government planned to implement initially hit press back on January 23, when the nation’s Financial Services Commission released this document.

As per the document, the rules involve a number of steps that financial institutions will be required to take to curb the potential misuse of the crypto market and the concurrent risk of money laundering in the space.

For example, if a user makes deposits or withdrawals of more than KRW10 million per day or KRW20 million per week, the FSC deems this as suspicious and requires the banks that facilitate the transaction to to submit what’s called a Suspicious Transaction Report (STR) to KoFIU, which allows the latter to investigate further.

I think this is a good move by the Korean governement, preventing moneylaudring is a good thing.

Millennials can’t get enough of crypto it appears. When US trading brokerage Robinhood announced that it was venturing into the crypto space social media erupted with enthusiasm. Those eager to embark on a journey into crypto land will have to get in line, over a million users have already signed up for early access to the new crypto app.

According to reports Robinhood has been inundated with interest in its latest offering. It has only been four days since the company announced that it was going to offer commission-free crypto trading. Yet the queue is growing longer by the minute.  If all those new sign-ups become Robinhood cryptocurrency customers, it will mark an increase of over 30% percent to the company’s overall user base of more than 3 million.

That's great news! Lot's of new crypto buyers will give the market an upswing!

China’s People’s University Law School vice-president Yang Dong has let slip the country is preparing new regulation on cryptocurrency and ICOs for 2018. Sorting ‘Good’ From ‘Bad’ ICOs Speaking at the Southeast Asia Blockchain Summit, Yang, who is also director of the Center for Financial Technology, further “denied” a blanket ban on cryptocurrency trading and ICOs would continue indefinitely. China has enacted a major clampdown on how citizens can legally access and trade cryptocurrency in the past six months.

The bounty section is flooded with new accounts that 'join' all kinds of bounties, even when they are closed. Probably lot's of bots, never reading anything in the threads. Posting reports, even when not needed, even when the bounty is over.

Would it be a nice idea to exclude newbies from that section of the forum? To stop the spam?

Coinmarketcap Excludes South Korean Prices, Total Market Cap Drops by $50bn

Most cryptocurrency enthusiasts are well aware of how the prices on Coinmarketcap look skewed. This is mainly because they continue to factor in the Korean prices for the global average. Although that is only normal, it also makes the markets look a lot healthier than they really are. As a result, the platform is now no longer including the Korean prices for all currencies. The trading volume still counts though, which is only normal.

For the past few months, all cryptocurrencies have seen their market caps go up quite spectacularly. In a lot of cases, the individual prices per currency or token were nowhere even near what people can fetch for it on the exchanges. That is mainly due to the involvement of South Korean exchanges. Mainly Bithumb, but also Korbit, Coinone, and a few others. All of these trading platforms artificially inflate prices and market caps as they trade at a very steep premium over the rest of the world.

South Korean exchange Youbit has announced it is filing for bankruptcy after hackers stole 17% of its net assets. ‘Very Sorry (Again)’ In an announcement on its homepage since reported by various news outlets, the relatively unknown exchange, which is not to be confused with the similarly-named Yobit.net, said it had made “every effort” to stay afloat. A previous hack in April saw 4000 BTC covertly leave Youbit’s books, an episode from which the exchange never fully recovered.

Ethereum's price surge continued into today as the digital currency topped $700 to reach a high of $750 according to coinmarketcap.com. This brought Ethereum’s market capitalization to an astonishing $72.5 bln. However, as Bitcoin mounted a comeback, returning to near-record highs, Ethereum slipped. At press time, Ethereum was trading for $640.
Transaction throughput

The network's transaction speed and fee normalisation seem to have influenced the prince increase. Co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on Twitter Wednesday that the Ethereum network surpassed 10 transactions per second for an entire day on Tuesday.

There is never a dull day in the crypto-sphere, and the altcoins are dominating the action this week. With Litecoin surging to all-time highs of over $340 yesterday and Ethereum making similar moves a few hours ago reaching $660, we are left wondering which coin will be next. Those ‘hodling’ XRP may have been getting that sinking feeling that crypto mania has left them behind.

The mining service Nicehash was reportedly hacked today, with over $60 mln in funds stolen. Users report that funds have been moved from their own internal Nicehash Bitcoin addresses to a single Bitcoin address controlled by an unknown party. The company released a statement on Reddit, saying:

    “Unfortunately, there has been a security breach involving NiceHash website. We are currently investigating the nature of the incident and, as a result, we are stopping all operations for the next 24 hours. Importantly, our payment system was compromised and the contents of the NiceHash Bitcoin wallet have been stolen. We are working to verify the precise number of BTC taken.

In another win for the adoption of Blockchain technology into the banking and finance world, top hedge fund AQR ($208 bln under management) has announced that it will begin investigating how to incorporate the nascent technology into its trading platforms.

The company hopes to use the technology to make its internal systems more efficient, since Blockchain allows for security without the increased hassles that traditional security means employ. Nevertheless, the company has only just begun to test the potential.

Right now the Bitcoin is above $6,000

$6,220 according to https://www.worldcoinindex.com/
and $6,230 according to http://www.livecoinstats.com/

Will the coin reach $10,000 before the end of the year?
Would be a nice Christmasgift
