Vevue ICO Soft Launch There have been many critiques over the last several months, years for some, on what a successful ICO entails. Vevue has one goal in mind - BUILD COMMUNITY. Vevue is a community project, and our success hinders on our ability to build a network. We have witnessed as Utility Token projects like BAT (Basic Attention Token) sell out in seconds, leaving their community shaking their heads at not being able to participate. With our soft-launch approach, we hope to avoid the same scenario. If any of the 40 million ICO tokens remain after block 90,000, they will be distributed using our Airdrop Requests feature. If the ICO ends early and we collect all 400,000 Qtum, we'll begin staking immediately. We will allocate QTUM as needed for our burn rate and all expenses/disbursements will be made public by the Vevue Foundation, a Singapore non-profit. ............. https://www.vevue.com/vevue-blog/2017/10/25/ico-soft-launch-is-live |

Upcoming LTC Technology http://leakyhydrantga.ga/2017/10/upcoming-ltc-technologyhttps://www.reddit.com/r/litecoin/comments/71enjy/litecoin_technology_and_general_timelines/1. MAST What does it do? It allows more privacy by hiding lumped transactions through a Merkle root. It also allows for complicated smart contracts. Smart contracts are currently capable on the LTC blockchain, it just takes up a lot of space. When will it be released? Of all the tech, this is the closest to being released. Perhaps in the next Core release update. (But who knows?) 2. Lightning Network What does it do? Allows instant transactions and reduced fees. When will it be released? The LN isn’t being developed by the Litecoin Foundation specifically. It is being developed by Lighting Labs. There is a prototype wallet called ZAP! by jack mallers. If you’re a coder, you can help them test it. That being said, it will take a significant amount of time in order for the LN to create a fully functional product. Perhaps a year to create stable wallets. Multiple years to scale it out. 3. Atomic Swaps What does it do? It allows people to trade one coin for a different coin without an exchange. This is called cross-chain swaps. It actually utilizes LN to do it. When will it be released? Charlie reported that LTC and Decred just did an official test run but that was not through the LN. If it takes a year for stable LN wallets, it will take longer to build AS on top of that and even longer to integrate it into the mainstream. 4. Covenants What does it do? You are able to select LTC to be bound together and stay together no matter what. When LTC blocks are formed, all the LTC are lumped together. Covenants will allow chosen LTC not to be lumped in with the other coins but be continually bound together. This allows Colored Coin application. It also allows “vaults” which will be added to Litecoin core. You basically lock it up so in case someone gets your priv keys, it has a delayed transaction time (let’s say a day) for it to be sent out without interruption. But you have a special “key” that lets you spend the LTC faster than the ones your attacker is sending. Pretty cool stuff. More security. When will it be released? Honestly, I have no idea. Right now, it doesn’t seem to be a high priority from what I understand. 5. Confidential Transactions What does it do? Allows anonymity between LTC transactions, something similar to Monero. When will it be released? Charlie recently expressed in an interview that he thinks this might be the next project to work on. So I assume once MAST is implemented, they will focus on this next. My general guess would be in about a 6 months to a year. 6. Colored Coins What does it do? Allows LTC to be repurposed to be attached to an asset. Yes. That means ICO’s. But think bigger and be more creative. Johnson Lau speculated you can assign LTC to a computerized car like Tesla. Your LTC could be given the property to act like a key to your car which you could send via your mobile phone. mind blown When will it be released? I’m not sure this is very high on their priority list. BTC might take the lead before LTC on this one. Maybe 2 years? |

NEO Ledger Nano S - Slowly but Surely It always seems the last bit takes forever, but that's because it's not just one person coding, it's everyone else trying to understand the code. Ledger App getting closer The Ledger CTO said the 'technical review is done, and the design team is now working on new icons'. https://www.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/778c0s/any_update_on_neo/Well, on one hand I kinda liked my icon, but on the other hand it did kinda look like a programmer made it. So, maybe have an app by November? Balls in their court now. Neon Wallet getting closer. The neon-wallet team is getting closer to accepting my PR into the dev branch. There was a lot of changes, and several code style changes that needed to be incorporated. Plus we want to be able to support other hardware wallets in the future, so we had to redesign parts of the code to allow that. The code works, the tests work, but there was some pretty brutal copy pasting on my part, so we're fixing that. Ledger Blue Support My wife finally agreed that I could get a Ledger Blue, so the next hardware wallet I'll be supporting is the Ledger Blue. I've been told that the Ledger Blue is similar technically to the Ledger Nano, so it shouldn't take too long to code the update. That being said, it may take a while for it to get shipped to me. First set comes late October so they say, and I only ordered it on the 16th ;/ other projects I'm working with CoZ on some improvements to the neo-cli, and I'm working on making a Java node. Both are going slowly, since Hardware Wallet is currently the priority. https://twitter.com/NEOnewstoday/status/923038876981178370The $NEO Ledger app is now available on Ledger Manager. Updated version of the Neon wallet to support will be released in the near future. |
