Interesting article in Bitcoinist:

According to Katrina Kelly-Pitou, the popular debate on whether or not Bitcoin’s network electricity consumption is causing serious damage to our climate is not headed in the right direction. Kelly-Pitou is a clean energy technology researcher at the University of Pittsburg,

Citing recent studies, which suggest Bitcoin dramatically increases the consumption of electricity on a global scale, Kelly-Pitou claims that experts are failing to understand some of the basics behind renewable energy systems:


While she doesn’t neglect the substantial amount of electricity used for Bitcoin mining, she also notes that banking alone consumes “an estimated 100 terawatts.”

This is a little bit more than three times the energy Bitcoin mining consumes. She also makes an interesting claim, assuming 100x increase in Bitcoin’s current market size. Kelly-Pitou notes:


The whole article: https://app.algory.io/app/cryptonews/81214/banks-consume-over-three-times-more

What do you think about it? On Twitter someone said: "Now... let's talk about how banks destroy environment, shall we?"

But the fact is that banks process much more transactions than blockchains now. What would be the real energy consumption if all transactions (processed now by banks), would be in blockchain?

Bitcoin ATM Malware Found For Sale In The Dark Web!


Dark Web vendors are now selling malwares specifically designed to target bitcoin ATMs, according to cybersecurity firm TrendMicro.

In the blog post, the cybersecurity firm cites an advertisement posted by an “apparently established and respected” user on a darknet forum. The malware reportedly exploits a service vulnerability of bitcoin ATMs that allows the user to receive bitcoins worth up to 6,750 in US dollars, euros, or pounds. At a cost of $25 000, the package includes, “a ready-to-use card that comes with EMV and near-field communication (NFC) capabilities.”

The seller has reportedly received over 100 online reviews both for the malware and other products. Another thread reveals that the seller is also offering regular ATM malware that has been updated for EMV standards, a global standard for credit and debit payment cards based on chip card technology. According to other comments on the thread, the malware works by exploiting a menu vulnerability to disconnect the bitcoin ATM from the network in order to disable alarms.

What do you think about it? Everything can be hacked? And is it only the matter of time when we see the news that XYZ hardware wallet has been hacked or sth like that?

Hello iMaker,

you received it over 1 week ago:  TimeStamp: 8 days 4 hrs ago (Feb-06-2018 05:30:39 PM +UTC)

Please check your wallet.

Thank you

iSamson, please check once again your address

I've received confirmation that all transfer has been confirmed!!! 

Please don't spread false informations. They announced what they do with unsold tokens:

Option one
The first option is to leave some of them (and burn the rest) to complete a post-sale later (in at least a couple of months) to ensure further financing into the company when we develop new key features for the products.
In this option — the amount (based on current ETH price) will not be great than 20–30% of unsold tokend. Rest will be burn

Option two
The second possibility considered by the company is to burn all tokens if the revenues of the company resulting from Premium access to the Algory platform are at a level that enables further fast growth of the project.

Note!
Please note that unsold tokens will not be available for sale on cryptocurrency exchanges and the company will not have them included in free trade. The only possibilities for their use are indicated above.

Update:


over 90% of transfers has been confirmed. I'd like to only remind that 90% =/= 100%  So please don't post here "I didn't receive" until I confirm that 100% of transfers has been confirmed.

Nothing will change posting it:) Everyone please wait until I confirm 100% distribution.

Then, if anyone doesn't get tokens, Team will check it.

I got information that over 65% transfers has been already sent and confirmed.

The rest is ongoing

Ladies and Gentlemen!

As I know, the bounty distribution has started! Tokens should be on your wallets soon, I think - until the declared date (the end of 5th February). Please don't write here tomorrow questions regarding transfers - Dev Team has started sending tokens.


I confirm when it is finished and then, if anyone have questions regarding his/her transfer, I'd really appreciate sending it via e-mail. This way, the solution of each issue will be sped up!


Thank you
Bounty Manager

Spreadsheet has been updated, you will find stakes for 6th week from campaign A, B, C, D and for 5th week from campaign E, F.

Important!

If your stakes for 5th week Twitter and Facebook campaign wasn't counted (not appropriate report) it means, that our scanner didn't find words:
Week Number: 5/Week Number:5/Week Number: 5th/Week Number:5th/Week Number: #5/Week Number:#5 in your report.

In such case please edit your report and add in the content of your post the sentence: "recheck previous week", otherwise your report won't be checked.
If you do this, your stakes will appear parallel with the stakes for 6th week.

Meanwhile, please check if your reports for 6th week has the sentences:
