203  Bitcoin / Press / [2015-11-28] Suspected Black Friday Phishing Site Alert on: November 28, 2015, 08:12:34 AM
Suspected Black Friday Phishing Site Alert

t seems from numerous reports the website bitcoinblackfriday.info could be a host of phishing scams. The website that premiered sometime two weeks ago looked seemingly like a competitor to the real BitcoinBlackFriday.com website. The possible fraudluent website ending in .info has a fake Trezor site, a fake Gyft site and others that everyone might want stay away from..

We all saw the announcements and the site behind it was similarly eerie to the originally created Bitcoin Black Friday website. There were subtle differences and users were to leave their email address to get revealed deals before the big event. Many people talked about the site in forums, and it was also mentioned in some news publications. No one had known that the site may have been set up to be a scam, and some say the phishing sites have been established mid-day November 27. The fake Gyft website and the others were created just a few days ago. It has not been officially confirmed that the site BBF.info was part of the conspiracy as there has been no word from the owner of the domain.

Another interesting aspect of the case was that the phishing sites were using previously used Bitcoin addresses at checkout. This had caused alarm for those early, and some immediately reached out to processors like BitPay. BitPay denied any involvement with the “appgyft.com” and supplied a warning to the community via their Twitter feed.

UK ad chiefs signal their predictions of success with Tastemade and Blockchain Capital

UK ad chiefs have revealed that they would be more willing to invest in pioneering food and travel video network Tastemade and Blockchain Capital than the likes of Twitter, Virgin Galactic or Pinterest.

The findings come from IPA’s recent mission to the US where a number of leading UK adlanders networked with the heads of the companies over theoretical investments.

Dale Gall, chief executive of UK Lowe Profero and Simon Crunden, director at Republic of Media were among those who chose Tastemade over the larger and more established companies in the industry.

Gall said: “Tastemade is a great idea, representing the new wave of emerging media brands that span earned media platforms, creators, smart content that has the right level of freshness and production values – all at the right price. It is scalable, has a strong, charismatic leadership team that have done it before.”

Microsoft blockchain affiliate BlockApps muses on Oracle's future in decentralised databases

During a conversation with the team behind BlockApps, which recently signed a deal to offer an enterprise blockchain toolkit for Microsoft Azure, the subject of Oracle came up.

BlockApps chief executive Victor Wong used the analogy of Oracle as a database provider upon which you build stuff, to explain that BlockApps is providing an easy set of tools for businesses to start building on.

The BlockApps team – Wong, chief technology officer Dr James Hormuzdiar, chief data scientist Kieren James-Lubin, Haskell and API developer Dr Ryan Reich, blockchain geometer Kristoffer Josefsson, and UX architect John Crain – is part of the powerful and varied ConsenSys Ethereum app development studio.

BlockApps' flagship STRATO comprises a blockchain ledger which can run smart contracts customisable for permissioned environments where privacy and scalability are important. The toolkit is available as part of Microsoft's blockchain-as-a-service for enterprise customers on the Azure cloud service.

213  Bitcoin / Press / [2015-11-27] Bitcoin Price Advancing Steadily Towards $370 – Formulating An Atyp on: November 28, 2015, 06:49:58 AM
Bitcoin Price Advancing Steadily Towards $370 – Formulating An Atypical Ascending Triangle Pattern

Bitcoin price rose to a high of around $365 earlier today, which is $5 short of yesterday’s high. Despite failure to print a higher high today, bitcoin price is still advancing along the new upward sloping trend line that we spotted yesterday. If the market’s bulls succeed at sustaining the current buying volume, we can expect the $370 resistance level to be tested within the next 24 hours.
Decrescendo Bullish Bursts On The 1 Hour Charts:

By examining the 1 hour (BTC/USD) charts from bitstamp (look at the below chart); plotting the 20, 50 and 100 SMMAs and keeping the upward sloping trend line we spotted during yesterday’s analysis, we can conclude the following:

    During the past 48 hours, bitcoin price has been surging with a pattern that is characterized by bursts, each consisting of an upward surge followed by a downward price correction wave. Yesterday’s burst was stronger than today’s, yet the price is still advancing steadily along the new uptrend slope. A third successive weaker wave is expected to take bitcoin price to test the resistance at $370 within the next few hours.

    Bitcoin price is currently way higher than the 20, 50 and 100 SMMAs, but the 20 period SMMA is traveling on top of both of the 50 and 100 period SMMAs which reflects the bullish trend reversal we have been witnessing during the past 48 hours.

bitcoin price, bitcoin analysis
Atypical Ascending Triangular Pattern On The 1 Hour Charts:

We will study the same 1 (BTC/USD) chart from Bitstamp but after zooming out and plotting the stochastic oscillator (look at the below chart). We can notice the following:

    An atypical ascending triangular pattern can be spotted now on the chart (The purplish triangle ACD on the below chart). An ascending triangle represents a bullish pattern that signals that the price of an asset is heading to higher resistance levels upon completion. A typical ascending triangle is formed by the convergence of a flat trend line between 2 resistance levels (AD) and an ascending trend line between 2 support levels (CD), yet on the below chart the AD trend line is not flat, so it is forming an atypical ascending triangle. As we can see on the below chart, bitcoin price traded between these two trend lines, until it broke out eventually to the North around 48 hours ago.

    The new trend line is forming an angle of 53◦ on the horizontal axis, which is almost equal to the angle forming between the new breakout upside trend line (green line) and the CD trend line of the ascending triangular pattern.

    The stochastic values around 46 now and the curve is sloping downwards, so conditions are favorable for a further rise.

Conclusion:

Bitcoin price rose today to print a high of $365, yet it failed to beat yesterday’s high ($370). Our technical analysis in favor of continuation of the new bullish wave so that we can see the $370 resistance level tested within the next 24 hours or so.

21 Bitcoin Computer - the Macintosh of Bitcoin

Since guessing the business model of 21 Inc seems to have been everyone's favourite activity over the past six months, let's not waste any more time and dig right in.

First of all, we've got some photos of the actual machine. The packaging looks good, the mining component of the device looks sleek and elegant, while the actual computer is a standard Raspberry Pi 2, according to the FAQ.

The 21 Computer's mining chip spec appears to be 0.16 Joules per Gigahash,50 Gigahashes per second. At the moment there doesn't appear to be any upgrade / swap options for the machine.

This seems to put it in the same category as the Antminer U3 Batch 2 - currently selling for $20 and clocking in at 63GH/s. Comparing it to existing solutions, the energy efficiency seems rather odd. It appears to be roughly 6250 MHash/J, while the top performing AntMiner S7 comes in around 4000 MHash/J. This would seem to suggest the chip is underclocked to be more efficient.

The value of the whole package come in a little under US$100, with the Rapsberry Pi 2 along with all the extras selling for about $70 at the moment. But, the hardware isn't everything, so let's look at what else we get with the 21 Computer.

216  Bitcoin / Press / [2015-11-27] True financial privacy doesn't exist for businesses operating on Bi on: November 27, 2015, 08:50:57 PM
True financial privacy doesn't exist for businesses operating on Bitcoin blockchain: Analyst

Bitcoin is a powerful and successful digital currency. Based on cryptography and a decentralized ledger, it has simultaneously been heralded as the future of finance and a gateway to the criminal underworld. Governments around the world are pushing an agenda which would see the banning of end-to-end encryption on one hand and the anonymity of Bitcoin on another. End-to-end encryption has become increasingly popular across consumer software from Apple's iMessage to WhatsApp.

The government argues it needs to be able to court-order access to private data in order to counter terrorism. This comes at the cost of both privacy and security for the general public. This threatens anonymity, one of the most powerful characteristics of Bitcoin, and the hope for crypto-anarchists who would see the Bitcoin protocol development continue along the path to true anonymity. Bitcoin's ability to circumvent oppressive governments and offer a safe haven from the data harvesting of Google, Facebook and Amazon would disappear if de-anonymization occurred on a mass scale.

"True anonymity in Bitcoin is only a myth, currently," notes Vijay Michalik, Research Analyst for Digital Transformation at Frost & Sullivan. "There is full visibility of all transactions. While they're only linked to a pseudonym and not a real-world name or address, every transaction is viewable through a number of different blockchain browsers."

Blockchain analysis, as a relatively new market sector within Bitcoin, demonstrates the weakness of pseudonymity. Its main function is a data source for exchanges other financial services businesses to comply with financial regulations. They collect metadata, incidental information attributed to transactions, and IP addresses linked to nodes and use these to identify and blacklist criminals.

True financial privacy doesn't exist on the Bitcoin blockchain. Without a redesign, this should be a serious concern. Not only for the politically oppressed, criminals and crypto-anarchists. Blockchain analysis techniques can only improve. It's believed that huge swathes of addresses could be de-anonymized over time. It doesn't take much to put everything together once you have a few pieces of the puzzle. This would leave a complete history of your financial information publically available, forever.

"For most users, income and complete spending history would be available for anyone to see. From friends to colleagues, commercial businesses, governments and criminals," comments Michalik. "For businesses operating in Bitcoin, cash flow, supply, demand and other competitive information would be exposed to their rivals. In this case, Bitcoin is a worse option than traditional finance channels."

Despite these technical shortcomings, Bitcoin is a powerful tool, whether for payments, remittances, microfinance or government circumvention. Bitcoin's secure peer-to-peer system provides important new capabilities to financial technology and cost savings for consumers. Comprehensive action, inspired by regulation, towards de-anonymization would minimize the potential benefits of Bitcoin.

Anonymity is a powerful promise of Bitcoin, which unencumbered, is a tool for transformation of business and finance. Heavy regulation or de-anonymization would stunt its growth irrevocably.

Is Bitcoin Volatility All In The Mind?

The good news is that bitcoin's association with terrorism and Daesh played a somewhat smaller part in this week's coverage.

Although some of the narrative spilled over from last week, and the news did travel far and wide, most mainstream outlets seemed to focus on the digital currency's price in light of the Black Friday shopping event.

More interestingly, however, was Motherboard's piece which united the digital currency and the human brain to ascertain the impact of its volatility on individuals.

Who said what and where? CoinDesk has rounded up the top bitcoin and blockchain-related headlines from across the world.
Bitcoin and neuroscience

The award – if there ever was any – for the week's most creative reporting goes to Motherboard. Reporter Jordan Pearson spoke to a neuroscientist in a quest to find out how the digital currency's volatility impacted the human brain.

"The price of bitcoin is a fickle thing," Pearson writes, adding:

BitReady Lets Consumers Spend Fiat Currency Wherever Bitcoin is Accepted

More and more services are popping up all over the world to give Bitcoin a more legitimate and usable appeal to the outside world. BitReady.io is a new service that has been in development for quite some time now, and they have finally released the platform to the public. In fact, BitReady works as a reserve Bitcoin payment system, as it allows consumers to buy things online with Bitcoin, without owning BTC.

Also read: MultiChain: The DIY Permissioned Blockchain
BitReady – Spend Bitcoin Without Owning AnyBitcoinist_BitReady Bitcoin

Unlike most services active in the Bitcoin world, BitReady is doing something completely different. Rather than offering a platform to buy items priced in fiat currency and pay with Bitcoin, BitReady lets customers buy items priced in Bitcoin, even if they don’t own digital currency.

The service works as follows: during the checkout process, customers can choose the option to pay with Bitcoin, as usual. Once they go to the next step, however, BitReady will present them with an invoice to be paid in USD. Unfortunately, the service is currently only available to US customers in three states (New Mexico, South Carolina, and Montana).

What makes BitReady so interesting though is how the service can be integrated with any BitPay merchant. Very select merchants only accept Bitcoin payments for certain items, making them unavailable to potential customers who do not own digital currency. By using the service provided by BitReady, all of these items are now accessible to consumers all over the world, regardless of what currency they own.

According to the BitReady website, their service will let customers save between 3% and 5% at their favourite stores. In fact, that discount may be much higher, depending on the merchant. For example, Alienware purchases are subject to a 10% discount (up to US$150) and Sierre Hosts purchases will net a 15% discount.

219  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Daily Altcoin Price Analysis: Dash, Dogecoin, Litecoin on: November 27, 2015, 08:42:15 PM
Daily Altcoin Price Analysis: Dash, Dogecoin, Litecoin




Litecoin

All of a sudden LitecoinCT r:  69 price hit $3.30 and reached the important level of $3.80 in a decent jump that would make traders happy.

Just the day before, Litecoin gave no signs of getting to the price level of $3 and $3.20, but it did go up slightly to $3.50 and $3.60 and even reached $3.80!

This is the same in all cryptocurrency exchanges and, of course, this dynamic could not last long. It’s similar to the pole vaulter — the jump won’t last long. So Litecoin price fell into the correction and returned to the familiar price level of $3.50-$3.70.

Will there be any stops on the way to reaching $3.50? It depends on the behavior of BitcoinCT r:  6, as Litecoin follows its big brother - BTC, like a blind man with a dog.

A sudden rise of the tensions between Russia and Turkey made stock markets nervous and most Asian capitals pushed Bitcoin up. As usual, China was leading this tendency but not for long as it began closing the trades when the Bitcoin price reached 2,400 yuan.

Litecoin price is connected to the price of Bitcoin at a ratio of about 1 to 100, so it repeated the same maneuver but with the price at 100 times less.

On the daily chart, both Bitcoin and Litecoin, when displayed as a "candlestick", we see the last day as a classic reversal pattern of "spindle" with long shadow both above and below:

This morning showed a correction for the Litecoin price and the duration and depth of this correction is hardly predictable. The stock market is extremely harmful and nervous, especially when it comes to developing countries, and therefore Turkish, and Russian presidents will extinguish the "fire" in their exchanges.

It should be taken into account that a new round of escalation in the relations between the two countries would mean new local peaks for Bitcoin and Litecoin.
DASH

The continuing price drop led DASHCT r:  87 to 0.063, and it seems that 0.05 comes next.

While we can only guess: if the price remains 0.06, or fluctuates between 0.05-0.06, will it reach a new psychologically important level of 0.05?

Poloniex four-hour chart shows that we have moved down from 0.07 to 0.06 almost as smoothly as skiing from the mountain high. The ticker is in the red zone, with a 6-7% loss rate on Thursday.

While the mass media background is more than favorable for DASH, for example the release of a new wallet for iOS, it is surprising that DASH faces such problems. But the fact is that miners are most likely buying Bitcoin in exchange for DASH in order to get more fiat money later, as Bitcoin prices rises.

However, these fluctuations are natural for exchanges. We know that DASH is technologically on a higher level than Litecoin and DogecoinCT r:  57 which are based on a Scrypt algorithm, and in many ways more convenient than Bitcoin. So, DASH has good prospects.
Dogecoin

Dogecoin stayed on the level of 40-46 satoshis but then the price started to slide down. By looking at Dogecoin’s daily chart on Poloniex we see that this cryptocurrency needs to try to return to the previous level.

However, Dogecoin needs more PR and advertising to move on. Advertising takes money, but it can’t obtain money when the price is low. So unfortunately there is only one way to go for the moment – way down again.
