Ethereum Developers Strike Deal to Delay Difficulty Bomb, Reduce Block Reward by 33%
A proposal that is expected to change how much ether enters the cryptocurrency economy was finalized on Friday, Aug. 31, as developers agreed to include the code for such a change into Ethereum’s next hard fork, Constantinople.
Constantinople is designed to increase efficiency and lower transaction fees on the blockchain. It’s a protocol upgrade that seeks to smooth the transition from a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus algorithm to Proof-of-Stake (PoS).
According to a GitHub post merging the changes, a group of 14 ethereum developers, present on a video call, agreed to implement the EIP-1234 — an updated version of Ethereum’s improvement upgrade designed to, among other things, reduce the amount of new ether produced to 2 ETH per block w from the current 3 ETH per block.

The South Korean province of Gyeongsangbuk has become the unlikely location for the latest government-sanctioned crypto experiment, with the news that it plans to set up its own cryptocurrency.
The move is emblematic of South Korea’s marked shift in regulatory position on cryptocurrency, from reportedly considering a China-style ban on crypto trading barely nine months ago.

Litecoin [LTC] Foundation “deserves 0 respect”, Tone Vays on a butcher mission
A recent partnership between the Litecoin Foundation and TokenPay has triggered a huge debate on Twitter. On 14th July, Tone Vays, a crypto-influencer and Bitcoin advocate, tweeted a series of accusations involving the two partners.
In his first tweet, Tone dropped three ‘disclaimers’ before starting off with the critical analysis of Litecoin and TokenPay. These disclaimers contained bold context to his following tweets, such as, “The main purpose of this tweet storm to piss off every #Litecoin believer for the what I hope is the final time,” and “Token Pay is a scam”.
Tone Vays, in his second Twitter post, put together a diagram explaining all the ways that TokenPay is lying to the community. An analysis of TokenPay’s website content was carried out by the influencer.
According to Tone Vays:
“Introducing the world’s most secure coin” is a blatant lie.
CryptoRekt, the Chief Operating Officer of TokenPay is an ‘anonymous Verge shill’. [CryptoRekt is the author of Vergecurrency Blackpaper]
The fact claiming CryptoRekt being involved into the cryptocurrency ecosystem since 2009 is ‘100% bullshit’.
Verge currency-related content on TokenPay’s website is ‘Verge Garbage’.

Supreme Court refuses to stay RBI’s circular declaring cryptocurrencies illegal
If you have invested in Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency, a deadline is looming on you. From July 5, the entities regulated by Reserve Bank of India (RBI), which include banks, will terminate their existing relationships with firms or individuals dealing in cryptocurrencies.
The RBI in April issued a circular giving a three-month buffer period to entities to end their business relationships. That period will end on July 5. It means the crypto exchanges will not be able to let traders liquidate crypto assets.
The Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI), which represents internet firms had filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court against the RBI move to ban banks and financial institutions from providing services to any individual or business dealing in cryptocurrencies. Today, the court has refused to grant any interim relief to cryptocurrency exchanges against the RBI's move, according to a Bloomberg report.
“If banking is something the exchanges are not allowed to do, then the solution is something that direct banking doesn’t come in,” Nischal Shetty, chief executive of WazirX, told ET. WazirX, an Indian crypto exchange, is now set to introduce P2P (peer-to-peer) trading.
Traditionally, all trade on exchanges happen through online banking channels where users can buy and trade bitcoins. The exchanges charge a transaction fee on every trade. The RBI's April circular mandates banks against offering services to exchanges, pushing them toward a P2P exchange.
In P2P trade, the buyer and seller can deal with each other directly while the exchange acts as an escrow account that holds the cryptos during the transaction to avoid cheating.
While many day traders have cash out their investments, experienced traders remain unfazed. “We must understand that only withdrawal (of rupees) will be stopped but other functions like buy and sell/send and receive crypto in Indian exchanges will work,” said, Avinash Baboo, who has been a crypto trader for three years.
The government and the RBI have issued several warnings against dealing in cryptocurrencies including Bitcoins, the former even comparing it with a Ponzi scheme. While issuing the circular in April, the apex bank cautioned users, holders and traders of crypto currencies, including Bitcoins, regarding various risks associated in dealing with such currencies.
