Investors Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss on Tuesday filed amendments to their proposed bitcoin exchange-traded fund, naming State Street as administrator, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Winklevoss brothers, identical twins, had filed their first application for a bitcoin ETF called Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust three years ago.

Investors have shown keen interest in the Winklevoss ETF. If approved by the SEC, this would be the first bitcoin ETF issued by a U.S. entity.

A new reality series entitled BitGirls is slated to bring bitcoin to the masses. The program is designed to educate the general public about digital currency usage with the help of an all-female cast who “become” digital currencies during the show and complete various challenges. Viewers can support their favorite players by purchasing her tokens and giving her points to move ahead in the competition.

The show will play on Friday nights starting in November, and will be broadcast on Tokyo Metropolitan Television. Producer Takao Asayama explains:
“People have to watch [the] TV live instead of recording it. Otherwise, viewers could miss a good time to sell [or] buy.”

Financial inclusion in developing countries is an absolute must. While there are consumers who will prefer the anonymity of dealing with cash only, the vast majority would love to have access to essential financial services. This includes a bank account, payment cards, and loans or insurance providers.

Developing countries are flocking to Bitcoin as a way to solve financial inequality. Citigroup once again goes to show that major financial providers do not care all that much about these regions, as they are not providing optimal profitability by any means.  This is an interesting development for sure, although it goes to show that clients are nothing more than numbers on a balance sheet for financial service providers.

Yesterday we reported that Russian authorities restricted access to trading site LocalBitcoins. For years, regulators have sworn to make bitcoin usage criminal, ensuring that any user would be hit with fines or a jail sentence depending on the “level of offense.” Now, it appears some aren’t that convinced bitcoin is a bad thing.

Russian Deputy Finance Minister Alexei Moiseev said on Tuesday that he doesn’t feel bitcoin or digital currencies present any danger towards the country’s financial system. His statement to reporters reads:

“All of this does not pose much of a danger to the public, as it has not taken on a mass character that could pose a threat to our financial system right now. In the future, it could possibly emerge given that it is not regulated.”

Since the 1999 launch of Napster’s music-sharing platform, the music industry has been in near-constant turmoil, its timeline marked with dipping revenues, lack of transparency, piracy problems and feuds over the fair distribution of dividends.

Music companies hate streaming services. Streaming services hate file-sharing services. And, most of all, artists and content creators hate virtually everyone else for making huge sums off their toil and feeding them the crumbs.

With so many conflicts of interest, there seems to be no one service or business model that can work in a fashion that satisfies the needs of all the parties involved. But now, after years of suffering from a thorny and complicated relationship with the tech sector, the music industry might finally find a chance to head in a positive direction by leveraging the blockchain, the technology that powers the bitcoin cryptocurrency.

Red Bull created, produced and distributed Felix Baumgartner’s record-breaking leap from outer space to Earth, which drew 9 million views on YouTube, Werner Brell, managing director of Red Bull Media House, told mediashift.org in 2014.

While Red Bull’s media often features its logo, it seldom overtly features the beverage, wrote Tom Forenski in mediashift.org.

A spokesperson for Red Bull North America contacted by CCN was unaware of the Red Bull machine that accepts bitcoin, and referred CCN to Red Bull Media House. Red Bull Media House had not answered CCN’s questions at the time of this report.

The financial world has spent much of 2016 co-opting Bitcoin’s Blockchain technology for commercial use, aiming to catch up to quantum leaps in efficiency and payment innovations used by Bitcoin’s digital currency. Now, the world’s leading central bank, the Federal Reserve of the United States, is going to investigate the future of monetary payment technology. This week, they have begun new studies for 2017 that will seek to understand advanced digital payment technologies, including “Fintech” and Bitcoin’s Blockchain technology.

“The review that began yesterday is the next step in the ongoing process to improve the speed and safety of payments in the United States,” said Gordon Werkema, Payments Strategy Director for the Federal Reserve System. "The ultimate goal of the Faster Payments Task Force is to help payment system stakeholders implement faster payment capabilities that are safe and ubiquitous.”

[Dubai to use blockchain technology for all government documents by 2020]

Dubai to use blockchain technology for all government documents by 2020
Dubai has announced plans to use blockchain, the database technology behind crypto currency bitcoin, for all government documents by 2020.

Dubai Media Office said in a tweet the strategy was launched earlier today by Crown Prince of Dubai and chairman of Dubai Executive Council Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

Bitaccess has announced the expansion of bitcoin sales to nearly 1000 retail locations across the United States in places including California, Texas, Florida, Georgia and New Jersey.

According to the company’s official release on CoinDesk, the customers of Bitaccess across the U.S. can now buy bitcoin with cash by sending a bill payment directly to Bitaccess. Users must first create an order online directory at the company website. After crating the directory, users will be provided an invoice ID in order to present at the nearest bill pay location.

“This service allows users to buy up to $2,000 worth of bitcoin in a single day. This makes Bitaccess one of the most accessible bitcoin sellers in the world, opening up cash payments through its trademark BTM, top up vouchers, and bill payments to over 100 million people worldwide,” the release stated.

The second Scaling Bitcoin Workshop will be held this year in Milan, Italy from October 8th-9th with a focus to provide a physical space for software developers and researchers, working on projects related to bitcoin, to meet and discuss the challenges and solutions related to bitcoin scalability.

According to the event website, the workshop will be held at the Politecnico di Milano Piazza Leonardo da Vinci, 32 20133 Milano - Italy. The conference called for papers and technical proposals that focus on improving bitcoin performance including designs, experimental results, and comparisons against other proposals.

The  key goals of the workshop are “twofold: 1) to present potential solutions to scalability challenges while identifying key areas for further research and 2) provide a venue where researchers, developers, and miners can communicate about bitcoin development,” the website stated.

It has to be said, the growth of BrainTree cannot be denied. Being part of the PayPal umbrella has certainly helped things along over the past few years, but the subsidiary has been working hard on promoting their services as well. Partnering with influential YouTubers, for example, has been a strategy that paid dividends.

That being said, the largest growth stems forth from a different approach entirely. BrainTree is best known for its acceptance of many different payment options. Merchants have a broad range of choices at their disposal, all of which can be processed by one and the same company.

Although most people are well aware how BrainTree accepts Bitcoin payments, most merchants would have no idea. It is an actively advertised payment method by the company, which is a positive sign. However, they are also focusing on the mobile sector by accepting Apple Pay, Venmo, and even UnionPay as payment options.

Remember “bitcoin for remittances”. It was huge a little while ago. Companies like Beam from Ghana and Kenya’s BitPesa were going to use bitcoin to make the sending and receiving of money faster and cheaper for everyone.

It didn’t work that way. Beam ditched bitcoin. BitPesa pivoted from remittances. Other companies shut up shop almost as quickly as they had opened.

Using bitcoin may well have been a more efficient and cheaper way of sending money than, say, using Western Union. But the fact is people didn’t understand it, and more importantly, didn’t trust it. The legacy of Mt. Gox is too powerful.

Bitcoin in Africa is dead. Long live bitcoin.

Last week we unveiled TumbleBit, a new anonymous payments scheme that addresses two major technical challenges faced by Bitcoin today: (1) scaling Bitcoin to meet increasing use, and (2) protecting the privacy of payments made via Bitcoin. Our proof-of-concept source code and a pre-print of the latest version of our paper were both posted online last week. In this post, I’ll walk through the motivation and the design of TumbleBit, and explain how it achieves the following three important features:

    TumbleBit works with today’s Bitcoin protocol. No changes to Bitcoin are required.
    TumbleBit payments are processed off of the Bitcoin blockchain, helping Bitcoin scale to higher transaction velocity and volume. Like Bitcoin’s on-blockchain transactions, the safety and security of payments sent via TumbleBit do not require trust in any third party. The TumbleBit payment hub can not steal a user’s Bitcoins.
    TumbleBit provides anonymity for its off-blockchain payments even against the TumbleBit service. The exact property we guarantee is unlinkability (as explained in detail below).

The halving of the bitcoin block reward this past July has changed the profitability of new miner entries, a development that could ultimately impact bitcoin’s decentralization, according to Sveinn Valfells of Flux, Ltd. and Jon Helgi Egilsson of the Faculty of Economics at the University of Iceland.

In a paper, “Minting Money with Megawatts” for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the authors noted that declining profitability for new miners could further consolidate mining activity. This, in turn, could increase the likelihood of miners colluding to attack the blockchain’s bitcoin transaction history, which could threaten the cryptocurrency’s decentralized character.

Bitcoin’s architecture created a payment network independent of central banks and existing financial service providers.

Swiss-based independent film production company A Ken Evil Thing has created an Ethereum smart contract to fund their low-budget independent film project titled “The Pitts Family Circus,” offering limited 666 shares of the movie to interested investors.

In a press release sent to CoinReport, the company said that theirs will be the first ether (ETH)-financed movie (ether/ETH is the cryptocurrency/altcoin/token of the Ethereum network like bitcoin is the digital currency of the bitcoin blockchain) and will be produced from the early 2017 in West-Australia, Melbourne and in the Alps of Switzerland.

Shares are 10 ETH each, but investors can buy fractional parts of a full share also. The film production firm said investors will receive an ether-based return on investment (ROI) for the next 20 years, explaining that the shareholders will be receiving 50 percent of the yearly profit after tax until the year 2036.

Bitcoin mining equipment manufacturer Bitmain has launched a new mining pool, it’s second after Antpool, as a part of its block explorer BTC.com’s offering. The new mining pool is open-source will not charge any fees until 2017.

Bitmain has, through its Bitcoin block explorer BTC.com, launched a new mining pool that will be open-sourced to users. With the open-source protocol, the firm hopes to foster new technical standards for mining pools and remove restrictions that otherwise limit the efficiency of mining pools.

Prior to launch, the new mining pool was put to its test to gain feedback about mining efficiency and its stability. Software simulators were used to replicate the load of up to 180,000 miners. Upon launch, the new pool demands no mining fees from users, until the end of 2016.
