Over the past few months, we have seen various discussions regarding Bitcoin Cash. One of the main “problems” involves how people tend to refer to this altcoin these days. In the Bitcoin community, it is often known as BCash, which creates a lot of bad blood with BCH supporters. However, it turns out BCash is an entirely different project. Whether or not the team wants to bank on Bitcoin Cash’s “success” with this name remains to be seen. The BCash HYIP Gambling Project Although it is unlikely the Bitcoin community will ever stop referring to Bitcoin Cash as “BCash”, there isPowered by WPeMatico
The Kraken exchange is currently undergoing one of the longest maintenance routines in the company’s history. Although this upgrade was originally scheduled for December, it seems the team has finally gotten around to making some much-needed infrastructure improvements. Unfortunately, it seems things are taking a lot longer than originally anticipated. Fixing its horrible system will take a lot of time, but the company can only come out stronger in the end. Kraken Infrastructure Upgrade is a Major Project Many people know all too well how difficult, annoying, and borderline frustrating it can be to use the Kraken exchange. The company offers all
InsurePal is a blockchain insurance company that works on what is called social proof, a concept introduced in depth in a prior article. It challenges current practices in the insurance industry which fail to provide a transparent and fair pricing model. Their platform connects responsible individuals in a peer-to-peer insurance relationship by introducing social proof endorsements. If a friend endorses you, they stake a sum of their choosing to be transacted in a claim should you have one. If not, by the end of the year the endorser walks away with a bonus along with the sum they placed. More
Vitalik Buterin, the creator of the Ethereum Network, recently proposed a new method for decentralized fundraising called the “DAICO”. Incorporating elements of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, or DAOs, the new model is designed to minimize the complexity and risk associated with ICOs. Buterin outlined the new model in a post on the Ethereum Research Forum entitled “Explanation of DAICOs”. In the exposition, the Russian-Canadian programmer outlines a new model that integrates characteristics of DAOs into ICOs to create a new model he refers to as the “DAICO”. The post includes a diagram that breaks down the benefits of bringing DAO elements into an
Unlike other DAG currencies that have seen enormous growth in the last month, Byteball is still quiet and is waiting for its sudden rise. Disclosure: This is a Sponsored Article Byteball has a fixed amount of fees equal to the transaction size in bytes. This is a huge advantage nowadays, and it is ridiculously low compared to the bitcoin and ethereum fees. This is achieved through the DAG structure, which at the same time eliminates scalability issues and, thanks to unlimited scalability, the Byteball network becomes more resistant to attacks as the number of transactions increases. This has huge benefits
I wanted to take the time to write a quick response to many of the sensationalized pieces that have been coming out about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency lately. Cryptocurrencies have been on everyone’s mind lately, and even though there are clear signs of more widespread adoption, the headlines still seem similar to before. Bubble concerns and fears of criminal use are commonplace, but a newer one I’ve been seeing is “Bitcoin is losing its dominance in crypto’s market cap.” To that I say “good,” and here’s why. Bitcoin dominance index decline is a good thing Contrary to what these headlines would have you believe,
Even though weekends are usually terrible times to trade cryptocurrencies, this weekend is shaping up rather nicely already. All markets are in the green right now, and various currencies have noted major gains in the past 24 hours. The EOS price has successfully overcome most of its issues earlier this week. In fact, we are now looking at an EOS price of $18.3. Very impressive gains, although the market will remain unpredictable for quite some to come. Another leg up for the EOS Price When all cryptocurrencies start to recover, it is only a matter of time until someone sets
Developer conferences have become a popular aspect of cryptocurrency as of late. Although most people have no coding skills whatsoever, it is still well worth their time to attend such an event. Especially when it comes to emerging altcoins such as NEO, there is plenty of information to take away from conferences. Speaking of which, NEO DevCon San Francisco is almost upon us, and all developers can apply for free tickets. Regular visitors can obtain discounted tickets using our dedicated code “TheMerkleChannel”. The NEO DevCon San Francisco Event in a Nutshell Although developer conferences are primarily catered to coders and people who
Ethereum Classic (ETC), a fork of Ethereum (ETH), has been overlooked for a long time since most eyes were focused on the main Ethereum blockchain. However, this might come to an end quite soon as the number of ETH transactions are rising sharply and the network is starting to have difficulties to process them. As a result, the transaction fees are already spiking over $1. If this trend continues, the Ethereum network might reach a critical point before ‘Plasma’, a new technology that should massively increase the network throughput, is implemented.

It is not the first time mainstream media outlets haven’t fully grasped a situation affecting the cryptocurrency world. Depending on which source you believe, the South Korean government is either doing nothing or wants to ban all cryptocurrency trading. The truth of the matter is somewhere in the middle, as there is no intention to ban such trading whatsoever. Instead, a contingency plan has been drafted to punish companies not abiding by the new rules. Understanding the Cryptocurrency Situation in South Korea Over the past few weeks, a lot of things have happened involving South Korean regulators. At first, they were surprised to
