On 18. 7. 2016 Xaurum, the gold based cryptocurrency, will enter its second phase of operation, it will acknowledge the will of its community, by splitting one old xaurum into 8000 new xaurum, and  increase the supply available on the markets, by making coinage open to  all at a considerable discount during the RICO event. For the duration of the RICO event, minting will be open to everyone willing to  participate. The funds collected during the event will be spent on gold, as determined by Xaurum coinage formula and the profit of creating new Xaurum will be distributed among the minters, in this case RICO investors.

Bitcoin is on a huge streak. Its performance over the last year has been outstanding and it has outperformed most asset classes, by a wide margin. It's probably the only asset class which beats out both gold and silver, in 2016. Why is it shooting into outer space?

Bitcoin has witnessed an exponential growth in recent months and has started gaining attention among the media and government authorities. Several multinational corporations and financial institutions have started embracing bitcoin as a legitimate payment system. Bitcoin is the most popular digital currency holding around 80% of the market share and its market cap is worth more than $10 billion currently. Bitcoin offers faster transactions with anonymity and reduced costs, making it an attractive choice for online traders. Some of the key reasons to consider Bitcoin as a good investment for 2016  are listed below,

Bitcoin Press Release:   Lisk, the blockchain application platform, has experienced a healthy growth of its community throughout these past few months. Community members have developed tools and services that enhance the Lisk experience. July 27, 2016 Aachen, Germany –  The Lisk team is excited about the communities’ involvement with the platform. Since launch, the Lisk platform has experienced growth from community projects.  LiskSocket.com  is a WebSocket service which provides real time information on transactions and new blocks on the Lisk blockchain. Also, the community has created several implementations of the Lisk API in different languages, e.g.  C#  /  C# ,  Python , and  Node.JS . Additionally, these community developers have been working on tools to provide more information about the network, the nodes, or to simplify the platform features. A few examples of these tools are: lisk-autoVote  – a script which automatical...

Stefano Capaccioli Il caso della Florida è un po’ particolare e va ripercorso per comprendere la Sentenza del giudice Teresa Pooler senza cadere in sensazionalismi o titoli da “click”. Quando si parla di  bitcoin appare spesso questo sensazionalismo, con il risultato che la miscela di  notizie vere, di notizie verosimili, delle teoriche speculazioni mentali e (spesso) della scarsa, se non nulla, conoscenza dello strumento determina un’immensa confusione.

Andrea Belvedere La BLOCKCHAIN è quella “ cosa “ che ci permette d' inviare denaro direttamente e in modo sicuro,  da me a voi e a chiunque altro sia possessore di bitcoin, senza passare attraverso una banca, una società di carte di credito, quindi senza  passare da un intermediario . Tutte le transazioni che avvengono tra portafogli e quindi tra individui, vengono registrate sulla Blockchain , a partire dalla transazione numero “1”, se così possiamo dire .

The Ethereum hard fork executed last week as a means of reimbursing investors who lost funds in the collapse of a major project has resulted in the creation of a competing currency on a blockchain replicating the platform’s original consensus rules prior to the fork. Announced last week, a project called  Ethereum Classic  is continuing to mine a version of the blockchain in which funds were never restored to investors in The DAO. As observed  here , the Ethereum Classic blockchain is now approximately 4,000 blocks behind the ethereum blockchain supported by ethereum’s original developers and community members.

Title: Hard Fork to Return Seized Silk Road Bitcoin to Ross Ulbricht Author: Satoshi Nakamoto Status: Draft Type: Standards Track Created: 2016-07-20 Motivation On October 1, 2013,  an attacker exploited Ross Ulbricht’s Bitcoin wallet  and drained 29,655 BTC from Ulbricht’s accounts. Later, the attacker drained an additional 144,336 BTC from the wallet, stealing a total of 173,991 BTC. At time of theft, this represented over 1.5% of the total bitcoins in circulation. This raises a major security risk. The threat is not from the client protocol per se – but from the magnitude of the  illicit redistribution  of funds.

Key Highlights Ethereum price continued to gain bids against the US Dollar and closed above the $12.00 resistance level. Yesterday’s idea of buying dips worked perfectly, as the ETH bulls defended the downside move. There is a new bullish trend line formed on the hourly chart (data feed via Kraken) of ETH/USD, which is acting as a support area for the pair. Ethereum price retained its bullish bias against the US Dollar, and my yesterday’s idea did well. Now, can ETH/USD trade further higher? Major Support Level   – $12.10 Major Resistance Level  – $12.60

Scopriamo assieme a Mario Draghi come il protocollo Bitcoin utilizza la crittografia per assicurare l'autenticità e la sicurezza delle transazioni, scambiandoci messaggi che non devono essere intercettati da Angela. Per fare questo utilizziamo due metodi di crittografia: la "crittografia asimmetrica" e la "funzione Hash".

Vesta, startup di Cassino, ha lanciato una campagna di equity crowdfunding su WeAreStarting per finanziare il proprio sviluppo

Bitcoin è una valuta digitale basata sulla crittografia, cioè è una crittovaluta o criptovaluta. Non esiste come moneta di carta o metallo, ma come successione di bit , creati da un software open source. Sembra tutto molto nebuloso per chi non si intende molto della materia, ma non è indispensabile conoscere nei dettagli il funzionamento che c’è dietro la valuta per poterla utilizzare.

Sono sempre più numerosi i consumatori attratti dalla moneta virtuale percepita come uno strumento di guadagno facile che, tuttavia, può rappresentare un mercato ad alto rischio nel caso in cui ci si basa su schemi piramidali focalizzati semplicemente al reclutamento di un numero sempre maggiore di investitori. Il Centro Europeo Consumatori ha realizzato delle linee guida per i consumatori sulla moneta virtuale spiegando che cos’è e quali accortezze adottare nell’uso.

The Ethereum community has elected to do a hard fork in order to resolve the  DAO exploit . The MainNet block on which the hard fork will occur is set at 1920000, which should be reached on July 20 or 21 depending on your time zone. In an email statement to clients last week about the hard fork we said:  ETH deposits and withdrawals will be disabled approximately 1 hour before the hard fork activates. Trading will continue as normal during the fork. All ETH on Kraken after the fork will be tokens of the winning chain (i.e. the chain with the most work on it). ETH deposits and withdrawals will be enabled again once the winning chain has become clearly evident. Some interpreted this statement to mean that we would not grant access to balances on the non-dominant chain under any circumstance but this was never our intention. The statement was written from the standpoint of a “winner take all” scenario where the non-dominant chain dies out fairly quickly. Since...

Blockchain technology is finally transitioning from experiment to usability concept in the financial world. SAP, one of the largest networks in the industry, partnered with ATB Financial, Ripple Labs, and ReiseBank AG to send an international blockchain payment. Transferring funds from Canada to Germany was a breeze, and the cost was minimal compared to traditional means. Collaboration is a key component of making  blockchain  efforts a global success. With parties representing different continents, this cross-border payment transfer using blockchain technology was completed successfully. In total,  ATB Financial  transferred CA$1,000 to  ReiseBank AG . The network used for this transaction is built on top of SAP and has elements of Ripple’s pioneering network of enterprise blockchain solutions.

The Brexit fallout will be causing a lot of economic uncertainty in the United Kingdom and the Eurozone. ECB President Mario Draghi will likely ask governments to boost the eurozone’s economy in the coming weeks. Most financial experts saw this decision coming from miles away. For the umpteenth time, it appears as if a helicopter money bailout is on the horizon.

iPayYou , a bitcoin wallet that allows users to send bitcoin to people who don’t have bitcoin accounts, has introduced Pay-by-Twitter, enabling users to send bitcoin directly to  Twitter accounts. iPayYou becomes the first full-service wallet that enables peer-to-peer payments over the Twitter social media network. Users can send payments via email without the recipient having a pre-created bitcoin account. Making Bitcoin Easy “It has always been our goal to build iPayYou into the world’s easiest and most useful bitcoin wallet,” iPayYou founder  Gene Kavner  told CCN. “Until now, bitcoin has been difficult to use by almost anyone not hugely involved in the development of bitcoin.” The first step was to enable customers to use an email address as the primary way to send payments to one another, while still supporting all traditional bitcoin payment mechanisms, Kavner said. “Now, adding the ability to pay someone by simply knowing their Twitter handle is...

The ETH hard fork As you may know, the Ethereum community has elected to do a hard fork in order to resolve the  DAO exploit . The MainNet block on which the hard fork will occur is set at 1920000, which should be reached on  Wednesday July 20  (this is only an estimate however). How will Kraken handle the hard fork? ETH deposits and withdrawals will be disabled approximately 1 hour before the hard fork activates. Trading will continue as normal during the fork. All ETH on Kraken after the fork will be tokens of the winning chain (i.e. the chain with the most work on it). ETH deposits and withdrawals will be enabled again once the winning chain has become clearly evident. We expect the hard fork process to be smooth and quick, but there is no certainty of this.

Steem.it, the social media reddit-like crypto currency powered platform took everyone by surprise with a strong week pushing the price up 1500%, leaving the young currency in the top 5 biggest markets caps in the cryptosphere.  Steemit is a new social media platform built on the Steem blockchain where the community rewards individuals for their posts, comments and votes. Steem can also be mined with computational power and through a delegated proof of stake system, in which users delegate steem power to masternodes that are chosen through a voting process.  The rate of dilution is high at 0.2% or essentially a yearly doubling of the supply.  See more  here

NEW YORK:  Steem, the digital currency behind the new social media website Steemit, soared more than 1,000% in value on July 12 to over US$150mil (RM595.13mil), two weeks after it first paid people who posted on its website, according to coinmarketcap.com. Steemit essentially is a website that rewards or pays users who post content that gets multiple thumbs up from the site's participants. The reward given is the steem currency. Content on the site is not limited to digital currencies and users have posted varied topics from lasagna to a trip to North Africa.

Key Highlights Ethereum price finally showed some signs of life, as it traded above a major resistance against the US Dollar. Yesterday’s highlighted bearish trend line on the hourly chart (data feed via Kraken) of ETH/USD was cleared to ignite an upside move. The price is now above the 100 hourly simple moving average, which is a positive sign for the bulls.

SolidX Partners Inc, a U.S. technology company that provides blockchain services, on Tuesday filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission to launch an exchange-traded product that tracks the price of bitcoin. Blockchain is the technology that powers bitcoin, the digital currency. SolidX provides blockchain-based software relating to the recording of digital records, transfer of assets, and identity, according to its website. The ETF product will be called SolidX Bitcoin Trust and will list on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol XBTC upon regulatory approval, SolidX Partners said on Tuesday. SolidX is the second company to file for a bitcoin exchange-traded product with the U.S. regulator. The Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust, owned by brothers Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, filed the first bitcoin ETF application three years ago.

While bitcoin is not exactly regarded as stable — it’s bounced around between $2 and $1,137 over the past five years — it’s become an unlikely haven for currency investors in the aftermath of Brexit. On Tuesday, the 10-day historical volatility of bitcoin dropped below the pound’s. Operators of bitcoin exchanges  report  investors swapping pounds and euros for the digital money, and Zurich-based Vontobel Holding AG is courting Swiss investors with the country’s first bitcoin-tracking structured product.
