Stratis Academy Update https://stratisplatform.com/2017/12/02/stratis-academy-update/We have now completed the development of the Stratis Academy Learning Management System( LMS). The Stratis Academy LMS will combine both lessons and a Community Management System to create an environment where developers can learn and collaborate with other developers learning blockchain development. The next steps are to build the core technical content and walk-through materials. The course content will range from getting started with the Stratis blockchain to developing applications utilising the Stratis Development Framework. Community features like profiles, discussion boards, and groups, will allow developers to learn faster together with one another. We are actively working on the structure of courses and the core content. This is the key focus for Stratis Academy going into Q1 2018 and we are certain we will achieve the Stratis academy roadmap milestone ontime or earlier. |

This post needs more attention and is a reason IOTA could be a ticking time bomb by Metasophocles /u/guselbindel lost $30k because he reused an address, but his post is being downvoted, so it can't see the light of day: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/7gwl38/hello_guys_i_have_lost_30k_in_iota_and_i_would/One of the responses: You (accidentially) reused that XTU-address. Between the sending of the 39GI to Bitfinex and the receiving of the 23 GI from Bitfinex, there have been two snapshots. When entering your seed after that snapshots again, your balance showed zero, as it was supposed to. All history, addresses and transactions have been deleted. You then generated an address to receive the 23GI from Bitfinex. But this address was already generated (and used !) for the 39GI months ago. You shouldn't use an address for receiving, if you already sent from it. Reusing receiving addresses is pretty standard in the rest of cryptocurrency, if doing so can cause you to lose your IOTA, the official wallet shouldn't allow it People wondered why the mods tried auto-warnings for IOTA posts, but when posts like this are buried there is a clear brigading/manipulation problem. I'm not saying don't buy IOTA as a hedge against blockchain investments, but be careful with your funds and know there are serious issues with the tech right now. Edit: note that top voted comment suggests this isn't an issue at all LOL, nice job IOTA community. https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/7gxdx8/this_post_needs_more_attention_and_is_a_reason/ |

The Business Restructure with the Identity Verification based on THEKEY self.NEO by TheKeyVIP https://www.reddit.com/r/NEO/comments/7gke0m/the_business_restructure_with_the_identity/Recently, THEKEY project team has made an official announcement about establishing an Identity Verification (IDV) ecosystem based on blockchain. The results generated from the IDV system are undeniable and unalterable. The team embraces more than 20 years’ experience on processing and developing individual Big Data. Currently, THEKEY has connected personal identity data of 210 million people in 66 cities authenticated by the relevant government authorities, on a real-time basis. The team has already obtained 23 relevant copyrights, and 15 patents have been accepted by SIPO (State Intellectual Property office of the P.R.C) and start attestation process. The combination of blockchain technology and IDV will pave the way to migrate people from the real world to the online world. Since the birth of Internet in US, it has been defined as virtual world or cyber world. However, the online world cannot be separated from the real world. By using emails or online payment methods, the virtual identity has always been a projection of the real identity. As the mobile payment, IoT flourishes, the need for identity verification is getting more and more urgent. With personal authorization, individual in the real world and the internet world will be tightly connected. The people who are willing to share their Personal Identity Information (PII) will obtain the unprecedented convenience in their life. Part 1 Insurance The blockchain can record personal life cycle medical records, property information, and even their parents’ medical records. With personal authorization, an individual can complete the health insurance service all by himself, from insurance contract signing, underwriting, to the rapid settlement of the claims. Due to the whole process self-service and personal health data, the insurance premium can be significantly reduced. On the other side, for the insured who hasn’t shared his personal medical data, the premium will be increased. Part 2 Micro Transactions Payment via mobile or bank card is not safe enough. In the future, the security of payment will largely rely on biometric authentication and personal behavior identification, such as the identification through facial recognition, fingerprints, finger vein as well as iris. Chinese government authorities have been gradually collecting the abovementioned information. What we need to do is to record it on blockchain with personal authorization. To verify the transaction through personal behavior record is very effective, for example, a person went to a hospital in Guangzhou and wiped his medical insurance card at 9:00 am, which has been recorded on the blockchain, while the same person was attempting to make a payment in Beijing at 9:05 am. The later transaction shall be terminated due to the high risk of fraud. In such circumstances, the individual information recorded on blockchain will be more secured. Part 3 Commercialization of Personal Data The personal data will no longer exclusively belong to the data center (such as the authorities, hospitals, banks, Alipay, etc), and it’s also not only for entertainment by sharing your daily steps or the photos while you enjoy a hearty meal, while it will be a very important source of income for an individual. Through personal authentication, personal data will be stored on the blockchain, and can be transacted through smart contract and asymmetric encryption system. All interest parties (such as insurance companies, banks, health institutions, auto industry and real estate industry) can purchase the personal data they are interested in through blockchain. For example, the revenue generated by sharing your medical record from last month can buy you a meal today. The online identity is a holographic projection of the real identity. By providing a trustworthy, reliable and efficient IDV solution based on blockchain in various scenarios, THEKEY will reshape the business structure and generate great value of the individual big data. For more information, please visit THEKEY official website: www.thekey.vip or join the telegram for discussion: https://t.me/THEKEYOFFICIAL |

AirSwap and Novogratz Partner to Provide Liquidity on Decentralized Exchanges https://blog.airswap.io/airswap-and-novogratz-partner-to-provide-liquidity-on-decentralized-exchanges-d16518b440ddWe’re creating a platform for market makers, and working with Michael Novogratz and Galaxy to provide liquidity to decentralized exchanges. I spent a quarter of my life as a partner at Virtu Financial, one of the premier algorithmic market makers in the world that also went public for $2.5b during my tenure. As an electronic market maker in a time of technological revolution, we saw computers de-facto replace human traders on Wall Street. A market maker is a party that provides bids and asks in a given instrument at all times, and forms what is called the bid-ask spread. They are willing to buy and sell an asset at all times, and their buy and sell prices are reflected on a given exchange. Throughout the last month, I have worked on the trade floor at Novo’s new cryptofund, Galaxy. Together with Galaxy I have helped frame how a liquidity provider will behave and operate on AirSwap and other decentralized exchanges. What does it take to be a liquidity provider?

Blockchain in Entertainment: SingularDTV at the International Emmys Held last week in New York City, the annual International Emmys event is the world-facing iteration of the entertainment arts awards institution that is the Emmys. While big names like Kenneth Branagh, Anna Friel, and the BBC took home accolades for their work in television at the awards ceremony itself, so much of what makes the International Emmys special is the festival of panels and screenings that accompanies its yearly offerings. This year, SingularDTV hosted a widely anticipated panel titled “Blockchain in Entertainment” at the International Emmys, and CEO Zach LeBeau and President of Entertainment Kim Jackson appeared alongside Wall Street Journal finance reporter Paul Vigna to introduce the concept of blockchain technology and what it can offer the entertainment industry to a crowded room of television industry creatives and executives. “Raise your hand if you’ve heard of Bitcoin,” began Paul Vigna. The wide-ranging and informative discussion proceeded for over an hour and ranged from explanations under the hood of blockchain technology to the launch of Tokit and SingularX, and the myriad ways in which blockchain will rewrite entertainment business models from advertising to distribution to production. “I think a really core concept of blockchain technology is that it erases borders and allows anything that can be digitized to move anywhere around the world, virtually in real time. That is a really powerful concept,” said Vigna. “The internet was a way to give us communication. Blockchain is giving us a way to have value exchange directly with each other,” said Jackson. “It will be very powerful, a place where we can all thrive and create together.” Many of the career entertainment industry professionals in the room likely had their socks blown off by the implications laid forth by Jackson and LeBeau, particularly in regards to how blockchain and SingularDTV are already creating decentralized solutions for problems like digital rights management, project funding, and content distribution. A lively Q+A proceeded the panel, and there was a lot discussed that will be of interest to longtime supporters of SingularDTV who may be looking for hints on what’s next for tokenized entertainment ecosystems. https://medium.com/singulardtv/blockchain-in-entertainment-singulardtv-at-the-international-emmys-8ba463067730 |

Suspected pyramid scheme USI-Tech is launching their own ICO - With no whitepaper released until 500 Million tokens are sold (self.CryptoCurrency) by waytooeffayRedditor USI-Tech, a pyramid scheme similar to BitConnect, are launching their own ICO called USI Tech Coin (UTC) with NO whitepaper and NO information about what the token even does. Their current distribution method prices the tokens at anywhere from 50c each for the lowest contribution level, to 3c each for people contributing over $50,000. They claim they will release their whitepaper when they sell 500 MILLION tokens, which is anywhere from $15,000,000 (If all contributors were to contribute over $50,000) to $250,000,000 (If all contributors were to contribute the minimum amount) . Some other things this company has been caught out doing include: Claiming they had a $70 million mining contract with BitFury, even mentioning specific BitFury products, and when the CTO of BitFury was inquired about it he claimed that nobody from BitFury has ever heard of them. Posting a video of Genesis' mining farm and claiming it as their own. Genesis had never heard of them before this either. Claiming they have developed a power generating system capable of running 6 racks of servers for virtually no cost Claiming they have developed a way to convert the heat generated from miners into power in order to reduce the power cost of mining Claiming they will be the first to have access to IBM's 'Watson' super-computer (Watson is not a super computer and anybody can access it) and that they'll be using it to optimize mining. Running seminars in Australia and other countries luring people in with the promise of helping them understand Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency, then suckering them into signing up for their pyramid scheme Basically, this company is full of shit and what they're doing makes me fucking sick. https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/7gndr8/suspected_pyramid_scheme_usitech_is_launching/ |

warning PSA: LocalMonero.com has been acquired by a competitor and the competitor is now using it to redirect all traffic to their own site. This is unethical and almost certainly illegal. We've attempted to rectify this situation peacefully but the competitor is refusing to cooperate. Details inside. by Alex_LocalMoneroLocalMonero Staff EDIT: We will no longer be replying to this thread, we need to get back to work on the site. Thanks for all the support! Who are you? LocalMonero! We've been around for about 3 months and position ourselves to be the Monero equivalent of LocalBitcoins. Many members of the Monero community here on reddit have had experiences with us and so far most people seem to think we're OK. Can you give me some background on this situation? LocalMonero is operating from the domain localmonero.co, since we weren't able to acquire the localmonero.com due to being unable to reach the owner of that domain at that time. At that point in time (and even after our August 25 launch) that page had no content, it was parked or squatted by someone. On August 25th, 2017, LocalMonero officially launched, and this is considered to be the date of establishment in commercial use, protecting our trademark in common law jurisdictions. On September 5th, 2017 (10 days after our launch), we've noticed that localmonero.com now put up an pre-announcement page, inviting people to leave their email to be notified on localmonero.com's launch. Here's that page archived. Obviously, we got worried, and so we immediately also applied for an EU trademark just in case (since EU isn't common law, and in EU trademark law the first to apply are the ones who get the trademark protection, and not the ones who first establish a brand in commercial use). Thankfully, we were the first to apply, no other "LocalMonero" trademark existed when we submitted our application. We've also attempted to contact the owners of localmonero.com once again, to no avail. On November 16th, 2017 (~2.5 months after our launch), localmonero.com's registration updated, possibly indicating a new owner.......... https://np.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/7g5vhi/psa_localmonerocom_has_been_acquired_by_a/ |

Australian startups to share in $90 million NEM blockchain investment fund Hopeful Australian blockchain startups will now have access to part of a $US70 million ($92 million) investment fund to fuel development of local companies, provided by the company behind one of the world’s largest cryptocurrencies. The NEM.io Foundation is based in Singapore but has expanded into Australia over 2017 to promote and encourage development on its NEM blockchain. The company announced the multimillion-dollar fund this week and has already locked in a $650,000 investment in local IP-focused blockchain startup CopyrightBank. Speaking to StartupSmart, CopyrightBank founder David Oh explains what sets the NEM blockchain apart from the technology behind cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. “For Bitcoin, you need someone with a deep understanding of cryptography to make it anything beyond a digital store of value, and for Ethereum you need a developer proficient in Solidity, which isn’t so easy to program in,” Oh says. “NEM works via APIs (application programming interfaces), so you’re not actually programming the blockchain itself. You can write in any language you want, Javascript, Ruby on Rails etcetera, and it just interacts through the APIs.” This ease of access is why Oh thinks Australian startups should take advantage of the fund provided by the NEM.io Foundation, saying the blockchain space is moving “very fast, so don’t wait”. The company is dedicating around $13 million worth of XEM tokens to Australian startups, which are also required to be “active members” of the NEM community. Oh says the funding is decided through community voting, with companies posting the concept for their startup on the NEM community forums, which are then voted on by users. Top companies are then presented to the Foundation, which carries out due diligence before issuing the funding in XEM tokens in line with the company achieving milestones. “The reason we established this fund is because we believe that blockchain can truly transform the way businesses operate, and we see the rise of the XEM cryptocurrency as a way of giving back to the community,” global director of partnerships and strategic alliances at the NEM.io Foundation Jason Lee told StartupSmart. NEM is currently the 12th largest cryptocurrency by market cap and the price of the token has risen over 6000% this year. It’s currently sitting at 20c. “We want startups who can really work on applications that would benefit society and solve a fundamental problem for Australians,” Lee says..... https://www.smartcompany.com.au/startupsmart/news-analysis/australian-startups-90-million-nem-blockchain-investment-fund/ |

Crypto startup Zeus Exchange uses Chinese tech to transform shares via blockchain http://technode.com/2017/11/28/crypto-startup-zeus-exchange-uses-chinese-tech-to-transform-shares-via-blockchain/It will soon be possible to buy shares anonymously and securely anywhere in the world via cryptocurrency. And for smaller investors, shares of shares will be available, all for almost no transaction fees. TechCrunch Shanghai exhibitor, Russian startup Zeus Exchange, has registered in Singapore and become licensed in Cyprus to trade shares using the smart asset blockchain—the world’s first—developed by Chinese firm NEM. The framework could be particularly successful in China due to it allowing access to exchanges all around the world via Cyprus. Plus anonymously, and at small scale. China is the only country in the world where individuals investors far exceed institutional traders: their trades make up 80% of the country’s $7.6 trillion market. They are the most active traders in the world and skeptical of funds as managers in the past have been known to engage in unethical manipulation of the market. The process behind Zeus is somewhat complicated. An institutional investor that is holding a share of a company for the long term can effectively rent it out for a fee for a fixed term. The broker then uses this real share as the basis for creating a crypto asset which can be bought by clients of the broker via NEM’s blockchain ledger system and its XEM cryptocurrency (one of the top ten cryptocurrencies—in future, it will be possible to use other cryptocurrencies and the exchange will also allow trading between cryptocurrencies). When the exchange becomes fully functional in March 2018, it will effectively be able to decentralize a stock exchange........... |

IOTA Data Marketplacehttps://blog.iota.org/iota-data-marketplace-cb6be463ac7fThe IOTA Foundation is thrilled to introduce an ambitious project that has been in the making since 2015. The Data Marketplace is IOTA’s most comprehensive pilot study thus far. The goal is to enable a true decentralized data marketplace that opens up the data silos that keep data limited to a few entities as is the case today. Data is one of the most imperative ingredients in the machine economy and the connected world............ Quotes from the IOTA Data Marketplace participants: Accenture Labs “Today we are working closely with a wide range of key technology providers in the blockchain space and we are happy to have the chance to participate in the IOTA Data Marketplace project. We want to have a deeper look in IOTA technology to grasp hands-on experience and provide our client the right understanding of IOTA and its potential business implications.” -Accenture Labs in Sophia Antipolis Agder Energi “Agder Energi appreciate to be invited to collaborate with IOTA and the rest of the participants. We are excited to get to know the Data Marketplace and explore the opportunities in IOTA’s distributed ledger technology and particularly usage within the energy industry. Will the technology enable P2P trading of power?” - Rune Hogga, Agder Energi, Project Manager Pilot E Nordic Impact “With the democratization of data through the IOTA platform we see the start of an abundant world. We will move towards a world where we will give people access to clean water, food, energy, health care, education, and everything else that is necessary for a having a good life”. Anders Lier -Chairman Nordic Impact /Advisor IOTA Gridsense The engagement of people for a world with less CO2-emission is important, monetizing their investment into renewable energy-production & -consumption by offering their “Energy-Information and -Flexibility” to a market. With IOTA is “Energy-Information and -Flexibility” getting a pricing and is a real incentive to be a part of a world with renewable energies Microsoft and IOTA launch first cryptocurrency market for the Internet of Thingshttps://thenextweb.com/hardfork/2017/11/28/iota-microsoft-data-marketplace-cryptocurrency/“We are very excited to announce the launch of our data marketplace,” said Sønstebø. “This will act as a catalyst for a whole new paradigm of research, artificial intelligence, and democratization of data.” In addition to Microsoft and Fujitsu, a number of other high-profile companies – including Deutsche Telekom, Bosch, Accenture, and PwC – will also participate in the demo. “We are excited to partner with the IOTA Foundation and proud to be associated with its new data marketplace initiative,” said Microsoft blockchain specialist Omkar Naik. “This next generation [sic] technology will accelerate the connected, intelligent world and go beyond blockchain that will foster innovation real world solutions, applications and pilots for our customers,” he continued. The marketplace demo will run until January. IOTA has promised to release a series of blog posts and case studies to showcase the various ways in which companies and individuals can benefit from using its technology. Always on for great ideas #IOTA #Tangle next generation #Blockchainِ #Fujitsu #Industry40 #iot @DomSchiener let‘s go!!! pic.twitter.com/wSJHKIvhg2 — Dr. Rolf Werner (@RolfWerner) November 26, 2017 Ordinary netizens will also have a chance to sell their data on the marketplace by connecting their IoT devices to the IOTA ledger. This will enable them to cash in on various data like weather station statistics and more. For this inaugural demonstration, IOTA says all data will be valued equally, but this might change in the future. “For this proof of concept, all of the data is rated equally,” said Schiener. “In the next iteration we will include a simple bidding mechanism coupled with more complex querying for datasets.”
