Robots that can read your mind a breakthrough for manufacturing


Those who wish others could read their minds will enjoy a breakthrough technology out of the lab of Thenkurussi (Kesh) Kesavadas. The professor of Industrial and Enterprise Systems Engineering at the University of Illinois and his team have used brain computer interface (BCI) to control a robot (watch demonstration).
In its third year of funding, this National Science Foundation project has proven that human experts can look at an object on an assembly line and through sensors from their brain tell a robot to remove a defective object from a conveyor belt.

LA MONETA DIGITALE VENETA SI CHIAMERÀ “SCHEO”: La blockchain di riferimento sara’ quella di Ethereum !

LA MONETA DIGITALE VENETA SI CHIAMERÀ “SCHEO”: INNOVAZIONE NELLA TRADIZIONE

All’inizio del 2016 avevamo annunciato che la Repubblica Veneta si sarebbe dotata di una propria cripto-moneta. Oggi siamo lieti di annunciare ufficialmente quale sarà la sua denominazione.
La moneta digitale veneta si chiamerà “Scheo”, in plurale “Schei”.
La parola deriva dalle monete austriache (e tedesche) Scheidemünze, che popolarmente venivano chiamate appunto “schei”, identificando il significato “denaro”.
Nell’attuale fase che attraversa il Veneto tale parola indica chiaramente cosa significa, così come anche il valore intrinseco che la questione economica oggi rappresenta per il futuro della nostra comunità oppressa dal regime italiano, che con tutta evidenza è entrato in una spirale assolutamente fuori controllo che rischia di trascinare anche i veneti sempre di più nel gorgo del degrado e dell’assoluta inadeguatezza ai tempi moderni.

What Do the Tech CEOs from Trump’s Sitdown Think of Bitcoin?

Donald Trump met with tech executives last week.  Trump transition team member, billionaire technologist Peter Thiel, whose oversees funds with Bitcoin investments, sat to the president-elect Trump’s left. Incoming Vice President Peter Thiel was on the president-elect’s right. At one point Mr. Thiel, with money in startups like BitPay, and Mr. Trump embraced hands.
The people who run some of the most valuable companies in the US were there at the meeting, which has been dubbed the “Trump Tech Summit”,  including Apple CEO Tim Cook and Larry Page from Alphabet/Google. Palantir CEO Alex Karp, the meeting’s only representative from a private company, was also present. Why? Mr. Thiel founded Palantir. (conflict of interest much?)
Mr. Thiel’s Founder’s Fund led a capital raise of $2 million into BitPay in 2013. How have some of the other tech giants interacted with Bitcoin in their past?
We’ve boiled it down…

Bitcoin, boom prezzi a 875 dollari in 2 sedute (+10%): cosa li spinge?

 Bitcoin salgono a quotazioni fino a 875 dollari, segnando un boom di oltre il 100% quest'anno. Cosa sta succedendo in questi ultimissimi giorni?

I prezzi dei Bitcoin sono letteralmente esplosi in un paio di sedute, passando da 791 fino al picco di 875 dollari, ovvero registrando un rialzo del 10%. In questo momento, le quotazioni sono lievemente scese a 863 dollari. Il boom lascia stupefatti, implicando guadagni dall’inizio dell’anno nell’ordine del 100%. Ma cosa starebbe facendo impennare i prezzi? Non è facile capirlo, specie per l’estrema stabilità dell’oro, le cui quotazioni continuano ad aggirarsi sui 1.130 dollari l’oncia, sgonfiando al +6,5% il rialzo per quest’anno. Non si registrano variazioni significative dei cosiddetti “safe haven” assets, ovvero dei beni rifugio, solitamente acquistati nelle situazioni di crisi o tensione sui mercati.

Perchè bitcoin è anche detta valuta virtuale ? ...

A differenza delle monete tradizionali, i bitcoin sono completamente virtuali. Non c’è moneta fisica e neanche monete digitali in sé per sé. La moneta è sottintesa nelle transazioni che trasferiscono valuta dal mittente al ricevente. Gli utenti di bitcoin utilizzano le proprie chiavi che permettono loro di avere la prova di essere i proprietari delle transazioni nel network bitcoin, sbloccando la valuta da spendere e trasferendola al nuovo ricevente. Queste chiavi sono generalmente contenute in portafogli (wallet) digitali nei computer di ciascun utente. Il possesso delle chiavi che sbloccano una transazione è il solo prerequisito per spendere i bitcoin, mettendo il controllo dei propri bitcoin interamente nelle mani di ogni utente.

Bitcoin Difficulty Level Increases by More Than 10%


The Bitcoin network’s mining difficulty level has increased by 10.68%. The change happened on November 18, 2016, as a part of the network’s inbuilt regulation mechanism that ensures that if more miners arrive, the difficulty increases to keep issuance rate stable on 10-minute blocks. This is the highest increase experience since February this year when the mining difficulty surged over 20% on February 7.

Lo "squalo" George Soros dietro le proteste anti Trump


Avrei impiegato meno tempo a scrivere questo pezzo se non fossi stato così impegnato a ridere. Non è carino farlo, lo ammetto, però, insomma, pensateci un attimo: avreste mai immaginato di vedere una rivoluzione colorata anche negli Usa? Perché è questo che succede, anche se non ve lo dicono. In molte grandi città americane come Portland (nell’Oregon), Los Angeles e Oakland (California), Philadelphia (Pennsylvania), Denver (Colorado), Dallas (Texas), Baltimora (Maryland) e naturalmente New York, da giorni migliaia di persone protestano contro l’arrivo alla Casa Bianca di Donald Trump.
Popolo sdegnato, cittadini in ansia per le sorti del Paese, movimento spontaneo di gente perbene? Qualcuno così ci sarà pure, per carità. Ma la realtà è quella che è rapidamente saltata fuori: file e file di pullman noleggiati per spostare i manifestanti da un posto all’altro, paga oraria tra 15 e 20 dollari l’ora per gridare «Not my president» contro Trump, panini e bibite gratis.

Blockchain, come funziona la mano invisibile della fiducia -- di massimo chiaritti

Dalla metafora di Adam Smith alla fiducia in una rete di persone. Il ruolo possibile di blockchain e lo "spostamento del rischio" dalla trasmissione alla custodia
La mano invisibile è la famosa metafora del ‘700 usata da Adam Smith per descrivere i benefici sociali derivanti dalle azioni quotidiane delle persone – a loro insaputa. E, oggi, come fare in modo che un comportamento egoistico da parte dei singoli soggetti possa arrecare beneficio alla società nel suo complesso? Nello specifico contesto del mondo online, come aver fiducia in una rete di persone, che potrebbero tradire, per trasferire valori in rete?

Donald J. Trump Appoints Bitcoin Investor Peter Thiel to Presidential Transition Team

A page in the book of history has turned, and there is an opening to think about some of our problems from a new perspective,” the gay Bitcoin enthusiast, Peter Thiel, who will serve on Donald J. Trump’s presidential transition team, told the New York Times after the election. “I’ll try to help the president in any way I can.”
Since Donald J. Trump assumed the role of president-elect in last Tuesday’s U.S. election, much scrutiny has been put on his statements and team as the transition begins between President Obama and Mr. Trump.

Blockchain 101 - A Visual Demo

Bitcoin e l’uso consapevole del mercato (a proposito del controllo…)

Nelle reti in cui l’identità è conosciuta, un comportamento illegale, quando viene scoperto, è punito e si perde la reputazione. Nelle reti con un certo grado di anonimità, dobbiamo ricorrere ad altri strumenti. Un recente studio dal titoloThe Evolution of the Bitcoin Economy: Extracting and Analyzing the Network of Payment Relationships” mostra che il mercato del bitcoin è maturato a tal punto da non vedere più come promotori del suo commercio le attività viziose come il gioco d’azzardo o i traffici nel web sommerso (Deep Web). Sostenuta da un team di ricercatori guidato da Paolo Tasca (University College London, Centre for Blockchain Technologies, coadiuvato da Shaowen Liu, Deutsche Bundesbank e da Adam Hayes dell’Università del Wisconsin), la ricerca asserisce che il Bitcoin, inteso come sistema di pagamento, abbia attraversato tre distinte fasi di utilizzo, la più recente delle quali è rappresentata da “pagamenti, traffici e servizi legalizzati e virtuosi”.

Venezuelans are turning to bitcoin as the bolívar crumbles

Venezuela’s currency has lost so much of its value that people have given up on counting the notes—they just weigh piles of cash. So far this year, the bolívar has lost nearly half its value compared to the dollar, while inflation has shot up as much as 15 times. That’s according to best estimates, since official data isn’t available.

It’s brutal:

Zcash founders will make $858.916 per day without mining

In a previous post I outlined all the marketing/scamming tricks used by the Zcash founders to keep people in the dark. Today is launch-day and the futures indicate a $596 price tag per coin! What most people don’t know is that the founders will take 20% of all coins in the first four years of mining. And that’s without mining themselves! Feel free to check this part of their website to see what I’m talking about:

Zcoin and Zcash: Similarities and Differences

A question that often pops up is: what are the differences between Zcoin and Zcash? 
Zcoin and ZCash are the only two cryptocurrencies that use zero-knowledge proofs to guarantee zero-knowledge financial anonymity. There are various tradeoffs between using ZCoin and ZCash. Zcoin uses the Zerocoin Protocol (cited by academics 208 times, at time of writing), whereas Zcash uses the Zerocash Protocol (cited by academics 104 times, at time of writing). The cryptographic properties of Zcoin and Zcash supplement each other quite nicely, and a good way to describe them would be sibling cryptocurrencies.

Sarà esaminato lo standard ISO/IEC 27037:2012 e ne saranno evidenziati pro e contro. Sarà presentato in anteprima Kopjra Forensic Web Evidence Acquisition, il framework di acquisizione forense realizzato e brevettato da Kopjra. Saranno esposti casi di studio in ambito civile, penale e notarile. In conclusione, con uno sguardo rivolto al futuro, saranno presentate alcune soluzioni tecnologiche, basate sul paradigma blockchain, negli ambiti della notarizzazione della proprietà intellettuale e dei contratti smart.

The Positive trends for cryptocurrencies by HASHFLARE .

We are happy to announce that all technical difficulties on CryptoPay side have been resolved and BTC payments are now available! But while the Ethereum Foundation team is working on improving their blockchain, the world of cryptocurrencies continues to evolve.

It means that there is a whole range of positive trends going on right now:
  1. The Bitcoin price continues to grow as Japan declared its new policy to accept BTC for utility payments. This is an important development stage for the cryptocurrency as it means the growth of interest and trust which leads to a positive impact on the value of BTC; 
  2. The Litecoin growth is also unstoppable. According to numerous cryptocurrency markets, Chinese investors seem to be very interested in thedigital silver. Taking the global lack of Scrypt hardware into the account we can be sure that the value of LTC will continue to grow; 
  3. Due to constant geopolitical and economical changes many classical currencies (like USD, EUR or GBP) are struggling and losing their value. This is one of the main reasons why BTC and LTC continue growing across the globe.

Japan set to drop sales tax on buying virtual currency

TOKYO -- Japan looks to end sales-tax collection on purchases of virtual currencies in the spring, a move likely to propel the growth of bitcoin and others as alternatives to traditional money.
The change would reduce costs for buyers and relieve operators of virtual-currency exchanges of the administrative burden related to the tax. Discussions between the Finance Ministry and Financial Services Agency are expected to lead to a formal decision after talks by a ruling-coalition tax panel at the end of the year.

ZCoin Stands With Ross Ulbricht and the Ideals of the Silk Road

zcoin ZCoin is a cryptocurrency that uses Zero-Knowledge cryptographic proofs on its network. Launched on September 28 of this year, the token was created by developers Poramin Insom and Gary Le.
ZCoin is a rebrand of Moneta and is not to be confused with Zcash. Any cryptocurrency can use the zero-Knowledge technology. In fact, a number of Zcash competitors use zero-proofs, such as the Komodo project, and Zcash.

Why We Must Increase the Block Size and Why I Support Bitcoin Unlimited


This article was originally published in Chinese on my personal blog.
On October 10th, 2016, right after the conclusion of Scaling Bitcoin Milan (the third in a series of conferences on the topic of scaling the Bitcoin network), I made the decision to switch the bitcoin client software that ViaBTC runs from Bitcoin Core to Bitcoin Unlimited. This decision was not made lightly; I do not believe I have the right to impose my own personal views on the users of my pool. But, after consulting with all of the larger users on my pool I was able to make this decision with their overwhelming support.
The decision of whether or not to increase the block size beyond 1MB is ultimately made by the miners, but in the specific case of this issue, it is actually the pool owners, not the hardware operators, who have the experience required to make such a decision. As we are seeing now, and have seen in the past, it turns out that the miners (that is, those who own the hardware) do not actually care enough one way or another to cast a vote about making changes to the bitcoin protocol. It is my belief that the decision of which software to run is the responsibility of the mining pools and that waiting for the miners or the bitcoin developers to decide the course of action for the network is incorrect.

USA - Voter identification laws by state

WHAT'S ON YOUR BALLOT?
Public Policy Logo-one line.png
In recent years, state legislatures across the country have implemented voter identification laws. These laws require voters to present some form of identification at the polls. In some cases, the required identification must include a photo. Voter identification is a hotly contested electoral policy issue. Proponents maintain that voter identification requirements are necessary in order to prevent voter fraud and protect election integrity. Critics, meanwhile, contend that voter fraud is very rare and identification requirements effectively disenfranchise some Americans, including racial minorities, the elderly, and the disabled.
HIGHLIGHTS

  • As of August 2016, 31 states enforced voter identification requirements. A total of 16 states required voters to present photo identification, while 15 accepted other forms of identification.

  • Commonly accepted forms of ID include driver's licenses, state-issued identification cards, and military identification cards.

  • Requirements come in two general forms: strict and non-strict. Under strict requirements, a voter who does not possess the required form of identification may be required to cast a provisional ballot. Under non-strict requirements, a voter who does not have the necessary identification may still vote without casting a provisional ballot.
  • Navigate to the tabs below to learn more about voter identification laws.
    Note: The map below displays only those states that require already-registered voters to present identification at the polls on Election Day. Federal law requires a new registrant to provide either a driver's license number or the last four digits of his or her Social Security number at the time of registration.
    ref.https://ballotpedia.org/Voter_identification_laws_by_state#tab=Details_by_state
    NOTA:
    In Sedici stati, dove abita il 38 per cento della popolazione, non chiedono  alcun documento di identità a  chi si presenta al voto; in altri dove abita il 16% dei cittadini, si può esibire un documento senza foto. Così si vota nella Nazione che dà lezioni di  democrazia al mondo. Tratto da http://www.maurizioblondet.it/trump-vinto-brutto/
