      "body": "![BitWings_Banner_clean_06.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZ6miLd55VoSPGvarXzVDAx8DWqp2syapGcUqgZJkCHv8/BitWings_Banner_clean_06.jpg)\nWings Mobile, the Spanish virtual mobile operator, has revealed the development of the world’s first ultra-secure, crypto-mining smartphone - “The Simply Sexy” Wings WX™ - which will have its official unveiling in the second quarter of 2019. \n\nWings received the ALCI AWARD for ‘Best Technological Design’ for their state-of-the-art smartphones, supporting their reputation as an innovative software developer and high-end smartphone and laptop producer. \n\nDuring the Wings ICO, which starts on May 1, 2019, a limited edition of 40,000 Wings WX™ units with engraved production numbers will be made available for 6000 BWN (BitWings tokens).  BWN can always be used in Wings’ native ecosystem, granting a 10% discount off the price within the entire range of products and services, both online and in physical stores.\nWings Mobile, founded in 2007, has seen over a decade of success within the wholesale B2B telecommunications market. They are now expanding into the B2C marketplace, with their current retail business strategy based on offering their mobile network and services, Wings smartphones and Wings Books laptops, to the end consumer through their distribution system based on an ingenious social media marketing strategy and exclusive affiliate program.\n\nAccording to the President of Wings Mobile, Daniele Bianchini, “There are already numerous original software applications incorporated into our hardware. With ©Wings Suite™ you can transfer all your Wings phone functions to your laptop, including GSM calls, and when using ©Wings Guardian™ you will know in real time if any applications or hackers are using your camera. Furthermore, with ©Wings Secure Call™ you can have VoIP calls that not even Wings Mobile can intercept. And finally, with ©Wings World Roaming Free™ you can have free VoIP calls in 60 countries around the world.” \n\nBianchini continued, “We know that the most anticipated and welcomed solution in the high-tech community is The Safe Core OS™ operating system based on Android, with an ultra-secure encryption core for products, including the Wings WX™ smartphone and the Wings X Book™ laptop, which is designed to meet the needs of the blockchain world. \n\nDomenico Cantone, Marketing Director for Wings, delved further, explaining, “The Wings blockchain phone is the first neural hybrid phone with a triple factor authentication and cold storage cryptographic wallet built into the hardware. It is a secure operating system within an open operating system, giving the user the freedom to use any app they please while also ensuring their peace of mind that nothing can threaten their most sensitive personal and financial information.”\n\nOne of the many unique security features provided by The Safe Core OS™ solution, which can be read about in more detail from their White Paper, is Wings Neural Face ID™. This technology allows the owner of the Wings WX™ smartphone to create secondary biometric profiles that will access different content with regards to the menu and the application. For example, if a user accesses their phone next to another person, the neural identification device scanning the face of the users immediately recognizes the presence of an unidentified person, and based on previously set configurations, shows an alternate menu. Everything you have decided to keep private will remain private.\n\nThe BitWings ICO will strengthen the financial base of Wings Mobile while addressing the increased demand for unique blockchain-based, security solutions for smartphones, plus underpin an accelerated expansion of 36 identified territories, or Business Units, throughout the world.\n\nThe Public Sale is divided into four different phases, each with decreasing bonus percentages given to token price. The last 60 Million tokens will be sold with 0% bonus, which is equal to the emission value of $0.20 USD. After the ICO crowdfunding campaign, the tokens can only be purchased in the secondary market, either peer to peer, or through exchange platforms at market value. \n\nCantone clarified, “BitWings strength as a cryptocurrency comes from holding a true value of $ 0.20 USD at issue, which acts as protection against market fluctuations. In addition, BWN tokens are a medium of exchange within the Wings Mobile ecosystem to purchase products, plus token holders get a 10% discount throughout the entire range of Wings Mobile products and services.”\n\nThe first 40,000 limited edition Wings WX™ smartphones are available only for ICO participants. The ICO Public Sale starts on May 1, 2019, and ends when all 189 Million BWN are sold, or on June 30, whichever comes first. \n\nBianchini concluded, “No matter if you are a crypto miner, a privacy advocate, a high-tech enthusiast, or business-minded person, BitWings has a solution for everyone. Every Wings Mobile offer is on www.bitwings.org, and we invite everyone to become the proud owner of the first ultra-secure smartphone that will generate income.”\n\nFor more information, please visit www.bitwings.org",

Verge boasts many excellent features, like 10 different mining algorithms to prevent ASIC attacks, privacy, speed, and more. Its community is one of the most die-hard, rabid, cult-like believers you’ll find anywhere in crypto. Tragically, their fierce loyalty is to a project that is at best broken and inefficient, and at worst, a scam.\n\nVerge was launched from a previous project, DogeCoinDark, combining codes from other projects. The now infamous founder, Justin Valo, who is better known by his handle Sunerok, has over 8 counts of various offenses on his criminal record. The team on the website is largely anonymous and constantly changing, their photos turned into cartoon drawings. Even former developers have accused Sunerok of never intending to deliver a product, stating the whole thing is a scam.\n\nIn July 2018, Verge’s blockchain was hacked by an exploit in how timestamps are accepted in the blockchain. This allowed a hacker to exclusively mine blocks by himself, stealing 250,000 tokens. The lead developer at the time, who had never coded a blockchain before, accidentally hard forked the whole project (split it into two chains), which was another huge problem.\n\nA week later, the same exploit was used to hack Verge again. This time, the block times were sped up, resulting in over 35 million tokens being stolen. It was clear to everybody outside of the Verge community that these guys did not know what they were doing. Verge lied about it, telling the rest of the miners their chain was under DDoS attack (which is literally impossible) stating this was the reason why everyone else was unable to mine blocks at that time.\n\nThe list of untruths, shady dealings, and unfulfilled promises goes on, but they did deliver on one thing. They did make an actual partnership with Pornhub to have XVG tokens accepted as currency to buy Pornhub’s premium membership.\n\nAside from that, Verge peaked at a market cap of over $2.7 billion dollars in December 2017. This is a fantastic example of how a community and a leader can create vast amounts of wealth out of thin air, hype, and some snippets of borrowed code. Verge currently sits ranked 42nd on CoinMarketCap, at $0.01 cent down from an all-time high of $0.19 cents.\n\nTheir famed Wraith project was never delivered, leaving many to ask the intentions of Sunerok, and if Verge will survive into the future. Only time will tell.\n\nInteresting Facts:\n\nIn December 2017, John Mcafee, a controversial but popular figure in the crypto realm, tweeted that Verge is a really strong buy at the time. The tweet resulted in around a 100% increase in the price of Verge, showcasing the impact an influencer has on the crypto market.\nBlockchain hacks are rare, but possible. Kryptos, Shift, DAO and even Bitcoin have been hacked before. Ethereum intentionally hard-forked to recover the over $150 million dollars lost in the DAO hack. Bitcoin was hacked way back in 2010 and removed the 180 billion Bitcoins that had been created in that hack, during the next update.\nA hard fork is an update that requires all participating network nodes to install their update. Any network nodes not running that update can no longer communicate with the main net and will start running a side chain with different ledger balances from that point forward. An example of this is Ethereum and Ethereum Classic.\n\nWebsite: https://vergecurrency.com/\n\nCoinmarketcap: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/verge/\n\nOriginally published at cryptofinance24.com.",

It was founded in 2014 by Jack Peterson and Joey Krug.\n\nBuilt on the Ethereum blockchain, Augur’s aim is to create a highly accurate prediction and betting market, based on the “Wisdom of the Crowd“ concept — an idea that the collective views of a group of individuals is more accurate when it comes to predicting, rather than the opinions of a select number of experts.\n\nAugur is public and freely available for anyone to create an event to predict, which can include upcoming events, elections, races and even forecasting the success of companies’ products and goals. With all of the information stored on the blockchain, participating parties can see the actual results.\n\nAugur runs on its own unique cryptographic token, called Reputation (REP). Event makers will create a market for their event on the Augur platform and will be rewarded for reporting on the outcome of event. Participants can trade on the outcome of any event, for instance, a football game, buying and selling shares in its market. When the event is over and resolved, participants who hold shares in the winning outcomes are paid out from the market contract, and the ones who lost lose their bets. And the event reporters who gave the right information receive a portion of the market settlement fees. Reporters who lied or failed to report correctly do not get paid, and end up losing REP. Traders are not required to participate in the reporting process.\n\nAugur participants do not necessarily need REP to place predictions, or bets. Most traders opt to use ETH instead as it is more popular and accessible. However, REP is necessary for reporters to report on events. REP is essentially for governance reasons, to settle events.\n\nBesides REP being used for creating predictions, or bets, purchasing participation tokens and disputing a bets outcome, you can receive REP from reporting on a bet, purchasing it on an exchange, or being right about a dispute.\n\nInteresting facts\n\nJoey Krug, the co-founder of Augur, briefly attended Pomona College and studied computer science before dropping out in 2014 to fully focus his time on Augur.\nAugur is the world’s first decentralized prediction-market platform. Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, said, “I have been excited about the possibility of prediction markets on Ethereum for a long time, and I’m pleased to see Augur being a leader in releasing such a sophisticated system into the wild.”\nThe total supply of Augur is 11 million, and there is no mining program.\nWebsite: https://www.augur.net/\n\nWhitepaper: https://www.augur.net/whitepaper.pdf\n\nCoinmarketcap: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/augur/\n\nOriginally published at cryptofinance24.com.",

The “going public” investment process is governed by securities laws and intermediated by investment banks.\n\nTokens classified as securities are cryptocurrencies that promise future profits for those who buy them during their crowdfunding campaign, or ICO, and afterwards. Most, if not all tokens that are currently classified as utility tokens by their issuer are securities in legal terms. The only reason why some of the ICOs are still able to avoid the regulative third-party involvement is that there are many governments that have not yet ruled on the legalities and regulations surrounding them — but this situation is going to change shortly.\n\nSecurities are defined differently in each country depending on the local security laws. In the USA, the Howey test determines that if there is an investment of money into a common enterprise and buyers expect to profit from the efforts of others, the token is a security and goes under various United States Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC) restrictions, registration and reporting requirements.\n\nIn addition to the obvious benefits for the investors and restrictions to the company, the STO opens up the possibility of the tokenization of not only digital assets, like songs and software, but also physical assets like equity, debt, houses, cars, paintings and even fine wine — the possibilities are endless.\n\nThere is a school of thought, however that STOs remove decentralization, and ties a company’s hands, as when a company files paperwork with any financial authority to do an STO, they are forfeiting all control. An STO has a registration process legally required by financial authorities with a prerequisite to report all token holders to the financial authorities, too.\n\nIn Q2 of 2018, the capital raised by blockchain companies via token sales was approximately $7 billion, which is 45% of the traditional IPO and 30% of the venture capital markets. Compared to the first quarter, the ICO market share is on an upward trend despite the falling prices of most cryptocurrencies since January 2018 when the all-time high occurred.\n\nIt is speculated that this will not continue for long because the initial hype and money-throwing mentality of crypto investors has been hindered by the vast number of scams and hacks associated with ICOs. It might be that for those who cannot or do not want to do their research, institutionalized regulation is the most suitable option.\n\nIt seems that the days when you could raise 1.7 billion USD within a month through a tokenized crowdfunding campaign without any hassle and restrictions from the government, like the messaging platform Telegram did at the beginning of 2018, are over. If the EU approves the new regulation on initial coin offerings, ICO crowdfunding events will have a cap of 8 million EUR. Only time will tell if there will be a balance between old and new that allows the STO to metamorphose into the ICO 2.0.\n\nOriginally published at cryptofinance24.com.",

They recognize that an increasing amount of people do not want to be tracked by websites and are tired of intrusive and malicious ads. Advertisers are losing a ton of money to ad-blocking software, so BAT decided to create an ecosystem that makes everybody happy. \n\nBAT is an online marketplace where advertisers and websites can exchange available openings, aiming to centralize a system that is splintered amongst all sorts of different affiliates, referral networks, and distribution channels, putting data in the hands of too many people. Their software measures when it is a good time to display an ad, based on a variety of real-time data from the browser. Ads are not placed in between content, disrupting the natural flow of reading. \n\nThe best part is that BAT will pay the viewer for their attention. Readers are compensated for their attention and participation, paid in BAT tokens. \n\nThe Basic Attention Token project was started in 2017 by the inventor of JavaScript and co-founder of Mozilla Firefox, Brendan Eich. It is backed by several big name venture capital firms, aside from the ICO where it sold 1 billion of its 1.5 billion total token supply. It is integrated into the Brave browser, which is a privacy-oriented, ad-blocking browser, but plans on expanding compatibility further to more systems and browsers in the near future.\n\nInteresting Facts:\n\n●\tBasic Attention Token is well-respected enough for Coinbase to announce BAT is one of the coins receiving consideration for a future listing (though no plans or promises have been made to list it yet). \n\n●\tBAT has a very strong team of professionals, advisors, and investors.

      "body": "![9_09_cryptofinance24_11.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmesZzpsgXSyWtPt8GS9GkmJsGu5UnbyvimsPpDQXKE6YQ/9_09_cryptofinance24_11.jpg)\n\nWhen you find an ICO you like, it’s time to fork over some of that ETH, or another cryptocurrency, to help bring it to life! But how do you know the developer isn’t going to run off with all of your money, as so many others have done before? \n\nHopefully the ICO you’re interested in has an escrow system in place to help gain investors’ trust. Although it doesn’t entirely prevent exit scams, as a developer could always build the project to completion and then abandon it after he has been paid, having an escrow system in place does suggest that an ICO has been more thought out and taken seriously by the team. \n\nAn escrow system involves a third-party smart contract system. Investors send their ETH tokens to the escrow company, who creates a smart contract that will only distribute a certain amount of funds raised during different road map milestones. The conditions of the escrow payments will be transparent for all to see. In order to trigger an escrow payment, multiple members of the team and the escrow company have to sign for it.\n\nEscrow can also provide for helpful financial management. Traditionally, ICOs do not use escrow services. Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) allow for substantial amounts of funding for a company to be raised in what is normally a short period of time, and is collected from participants up front throughout the span of their ICO. This is, on average, between one and two months.\n\nMany crypto developers want to do good in the world, and have contributed a lot of their time and energy to the open source community for free, and are not motivated by the idea of becoming as rich as possible. \n\nICOs have collected, for some companies and individuals, massive amounts of money. A huge haul north of $10 million dollars suddenly meant everyone was rich, and there was little incentive to still work another day in their lives. Many people who began with noble intentions just abandoned their ideas for a life at the beach. There have been many instances of major fraud where amounts collected during an ICO, along with the founding team, have disappeared.\n\nSometimes, there are situations where individuals within a team, and not the whole team, are the instigators. A co-founder, who is often a businessman rather than a developer, and only interested in the money side of the ICO, can run off with the funds raised, or hold the funds hostage unless their ideas are implemented. \n\nA good example of this is the Tezos project. Tezos had a well-documented fight between the founders, and their billion-dollar ICO haul was locked up for over a year while legal battles for control over it raged on. Eventually, the guy who had control of the money agreed to leave the company and return the money, which only he had access to (after reaching a settlement which meant that Tezos will buy his resignation). An escrow system would have prevented this from happening.\n\nAnother benefit of using escrow, aside from insuring against greed or other illegal or immoral motives, is to allow for the transition of payments to be distributed over time, ensuring there will be no issues with regards to overspending, which for many new businesses is often the case. As the value of the collected ETH goes up or down, the smart contract can compensate to pay out more or less, depending on needs.\n\nEscrow companies have earned the trust of the community over time, proving they are honest and secure. Originally, individual people provided escrow services. Their trustworthiness documented simply on the bitcointalk forums, as seen below: \n![Escrow.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeszbWM9Qmqg1SQfFV4AvmxnrsRMtFQeMtTHzSD7wd36Y/Escrow.jpg)\n \n\nNow, there are established companies which handle escrow for ICOs. Just a few of the more well-known ICO escrow companies include 99bitcoins, IBC Group, and Descrow. Essentially, these escrow providers are just third-party smart contracts providers. \n\nIf you find a project you have researched thoroughly and want to invest in it, don’t let the lack of an escrow service scare you away, but if one is, you can perhaps sleep a little easier at night.\n\nOriginally published at cryptofinance24.com.",

Steemit is another one of Daniel Larimer’s projects, the brains behind Bitshares and EOS. Widely regarded to as one of the best innovators in crypto, all three of his major contributions have settled into the top 50 crypto projects by market cap. Steemit is a highly successful platform that allows readers to comment, subscribe, and give tips to authors in STEEM tokens.\n\nThe Steemit platform rewards engagement. Not only do authors have the chance to get paid, but so do the people who curate content by upvoting, and top commenters as well. These payments come from other users and the platform itself. Sounds amazing, right? It is, but…\n\nAnything Dan Larimer makes is very confusing and complex, at first. There are three distinct types of STEEM tokens that do different things. You earn them differently, you spend them differently, and they are worth different amounts in value, defined by the open market at any given moment.\n\nSTEEM: This is the token that you can send to exchanges and trade for BTC or USDT and get paid real money from.\n\nSTEEM Dollars: This token gets you dividends of more STEEM Dollars. 10% of new coins created daily is distributed among holders of these coins. It was designed to be a stable coin that holds its value.\n\nSTEEM Power: This token gets you dividends of more Steem Power. 90% of new coins created daily is distributed among holders of these coins. It also makes your vote carry more weight. These tokens must be staked (locked away) for 2 years before you can sell or trade them. Half your content pay is in this currency.\n\nThe good news is, you don’t need all of them, or any of them, to actually use the platform. You can write, comment, and vote for free as well. Those who wish to be more engaged in the community can both contribute and be rewarded for it.\n\nWhen you make money on Steemit, here are your options for what to do with it:\n\n1. Convert the Steem Dollars to Steem and transfer it to an exchange to sell it, essentially cashing out.\nHang on to the Steem Dollars, keeping the money in the network and receive 10% interest. You can change your mind and convert them to Steem and sell them any time.\n\n2. Convert your Steem Dollars for Steem Power. To invest long-term and receive the biggest rewards, lock up your Steem Power and stake it.\n\nSteemit launched in March 2016 and grew to over $150 million dollars in market cap by July. That’s a tremendous value for that time. Steemit has its own blockchain, built on Graphene technology (the same as EOS and Bitshares). Also, like EOS, it uses 21 block producers who are picked out and given assignments. 19 are voted in, a 20th acts as a witness, and the 21st performs all the Proof-of-Work mining, saving tremendously on energy costs compared to other blockchains which have thousands of miners.\n\nInteresting Facts:\n\n●\tAn easy to follow guide on cashing out your Steem Dollars: https://steemit.com/steem/@blocktrades/-blocktrades-adds-support-for-directly-buyingselling-steem\n\n●\tThere is no special wallet needed to be downloaded. All currency is stored on the steemit.com website under your account there. \n\n●\tSome people have made big money on this site. Here’s one blogger’s story of how he made over $100,000 USD. https://steemit.com/steemit/@clains/how-i-earned-usd100-000-with-steemit\n\n\nWebsite: https://steemit.com/ (platform), https://steem.io/ (project’s website)\n\nWhitepaper: https://steem.io/steem-whitepaper.pdf\n\nCoinmarketcap: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/steem/",

Even in this day and age, almost everything we do leaves a paper trail. At school, you do tests, which are still mainly on paper, and at the end of the year, you’ll get a paper certificate proving that you have finished the year. I have 12 of them at home, as well as three diplomas, plus ten different certificates from courses I have taken over the years. Most of them live in my folder at home and no digital copies exist anywhere else.\n\nIn instances where your previous diploma is needed, such as applying for a job or going back to school to get a higher degree, might turn out to be a nightmare when you only have the original paper diploma. If you send your original documents and they get lost, they are lost forever. And if you need to get certified copy, this will take time to obtain. \n\nLosing precious time is not the only problem you might face with paper degrees. Degree forging is becoming more and more attractive to many fraudsters. Pakistan based company Axact was exposed as a fraud, when a BBC investigation revealed that Axact sold almost 300,000 fake degrees worldwide, making over $89 million USD in the process. \n\nIn the search for replacing paper-based systems, the Education sector has started to look more closely at blockchain technology. The Joint Research Centre (JRC) and the European Commission’s Science and Knowledge Service put together an extensive report in 2017 about “Blockchain in Education“. The report introduced the concept of implementing blockchain technology in the education sector, analysing potential risks, values, prospects, and options for improving the current technological development and deployment. The report brings out several key findings and conclusions, including:\n•\tBlockchain technology will accelerate the end of the paper-based systems for certificates, giving extra security for documents and other related records that would be stored on the blockchain.\n•\tPeople can send their certificates to potential employers for reviewing without the need to contact the organisation that initially issued them. At the same time, this would remove the need for educational organisations to validate credentials.\n•\tA blockchain system gives people ownership and control over their own data and reduces educational organizations’ data management costs and their exposure to liability from data management issues. \n•\tBlockchain will enable school payments in cryptocurrencies.\n•\tAll the information that can be in a digital form, like contracts, transactions or assets, can be put on the blockchain.\n•\tAll of the data added to the blockchain is permanent, searchable and transparent, making forging or deleting data impossible.\n\nThere are already several educational institutions that have been testing the abilities of blockchain technology through pilot projects, with some case studies below.\n\nUniversity of Nicosia\n\nThe Cyprus based university is the first higher educational institution to accept Bitcoin as a payment method. They started accepting Bitcoin in 2013, and by 2014, started teaching a university-level course on cryptocurrency, and are now offering an accredited degree program – a Master of Science in Digital Currency. They are committed to magnifying the potential of blockchain technology, and have implemented a fully functional library housed on the Bitcoin blockchain, where all of their students’ grades, diplomas, and certificates are being stored.\n\nMassachusetts Institution of Technology (MIT)\n\nIn 2016, MIT Media Lab Learning Initiative partnered up with Learning Machine and created an incubation project called Blockcerts, an open-source ecosystem which is housed on the Bitcoin blockchain, and is used for creating, sharing, and verifying blockchain-based educational certificates that are cryptographically signed, making them tamper-proof. The mobile app makes it more convenient for students to generate keys, demonstrating their ownership of their documents.\n\nKnowledge Media Institute (KMI) within the Open University UK\n\nOpen University is a leader in Learning Analytics in the UK. They are always looking for ways to improve the standards for certifications. Ethereum’s ecosystem with their decentralized platform has helped MKI to create smart contracts that will notarize all of their courses and add them to the blockchain. Open University uses its core Open Learn Platform and APPII platform to provide the service for their 170,000 students.\n\nChanging the Education System\n\nAlthough blockchain technology is still in its infancy, it has shown a lot of potential for disrupting and reforming the current education systems. In addition to the benefits that blockchain can bring to education systems mentioned above, it can also act as an Intellectual Currency. Bitcoin can be used for paying for products or services, and its micro-payment services can act as a reward system for use within educational services. Students who have done their assignments successfully could be rewarded, which could become part of a scholarship program. \n\nConclusion\n\nThe current systems we use are outdated and blockchain technology will bring us reliability and security with its decentralized nature, making sure that the data added to the blockchain stays there without interruptions or tampering. Hash-functions and cryptography add security, while smart contracts make processes more efficient by making it possible to automate most of the tasks, greatly reducing labour costs. Adding all of the students’ data to the blockchain will reduce degree fraud and give students control over their personal data.",

      "body": "![aeternity banner wide.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmejJc2fsFzE29LZZrbSThFJ4G9zjdJ2MxyU6ZXvaJQvBE/aeternity%20banner%20wide.jpg)\n\nAEternity is a 3rd generation blockchain that boasts infinite scalability and enough speed to handle not just micropayments but nanopayments, but this is not all. It features something they call State Channels to handle transactions in real-time off-chain, only referring to the blockchain in case of discrepancy. \n\nIt applies a unique consensus method called Cuckoo, which combines Proof of Work and Proof of Stake. Proof of Work is used to ensure the validity of transactions, while Proof of Stake is used for electing delegates for voting on community measures. \n\nOne of the most interesting features of the AEternity blockchain is the support of multiple VMs (Virtual Machines) to run on top of it. AEternity has created a brand new, safer contract language called Sophia. It is applied to AEternity’s high level virtual machine called FTWVM (Functional Typed Warded Virtual Machine). Sophia’s primary use will be in more complex applications.\n\nA 2nd high-level smart contract language called Varna (similar to Bitcoin’s Script language, but with no loops and a fixed gas price) uses its own virtual machine - the HLM (High Level Machine) - and it iss designed to cover fast, everyday-use contracts.\n\nWhat would a blockchain be without supporting a Solidity smart contract? AEternity does this as well, allowing a developer to transfer their Ethereum VM contracts with ease. \n\nWhat is most interesting about Aeternity is they took a mobile-first approach with their blockchain, which traditionally has come as a later step in 99% of other blockchain projects. When most people today are using mobile phones instead of computers, this approach is long overdue\n\nAEternity has an incubator to help developers get the education, training, and funding needed to build apps on their platform. They also travel the globe holding workshops for hands on and in-person training. Their team is well-rounded with dozens of blockchain coders, engineers, Erlang developers, region-specific community managers and advisors. \n\nThe main net was delayed until Q3 2018. Optimal mining hardware is yet to be established, and stress testing results have not yet been published. The Cuckoo Cycle is ASIC-resistant, and would require a brand new application specific integrated circuit to be developed just for this. Because it is highly memory intensive, it would not be as profitable to create one, when compared to different coins.\n\nInteresting Facts:\n\n●\tSophia is one of two smart contract languages that are native to the AEternity blockchain (Varna being the other). To learn more about how Sophia works, visit this blog article: https://blog.aeternity.com/%C3%A6pps-update-sophia-smart-contract-language-2b5a957c9416 \n\n●\tA comprehensive introduction to the lead developers of AEternity and the work they have done on the project can be located on their blog: https://steemit.com/blockchain/@aetrnty/the-developers-and-development-of-aeternity\n\n●\tA Cuckoo cycle is a unique type of algorithm, developed by John Tromp, who is an advisor to AEternity. A detailed explanation can be found here: https://blog.aeternity.com/q-a-at-reddit-with-john-tromp-inventor-of-the-cuckoo-cycle-mining-algorithm-c316119c07e9\n\n●\tDevelopment began in Q1 2017, with a product launch less than 2 years later. While there was a delay from the initial launch date of Q2 2018, it is well within an acceptable time frame for a project of this complexity and power. \n\nWebsite: https://aeternity.com/ \nWhitepaper: https://aeternity.com/aeternity-blockchain-whitepaper.pdf\nCoinmarketcap: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/aeternity/\n\nOriginally published at cryptofinance24.com.",

Despite a market downturn of over 60% through Q2, ICOs have not slowed down and money is still being invested - but not everything is a winner. Let&rsquo;s look at some of the worst losses through the first half of 2018.</p>\n<h4><strong>Prodeum</strong> <strong>(Scam)</strong></h4>\n<p>Prodeum is the smallest scam of 2018, allegedly only hauling in $11 USD. Not $11 million, just $11. Their whitepaper detailed plans to change how the prices of fruits and vegetables are looked up in grocery stores. After being live for only a few days their website just disappeared, leaving only a blank white page with the word &ldquo;p*nis&rdquo; on it. Nice.</p>\n<h4><strong>BitConnect (Scam)</strong></h4>\n<p>BitConnect, by contrast, is one of the most widely known projects that duped many people. At one point, this Ponzi scheme had a market cap of over 2.6 billion dollars, putting it in the Top 20 coins at the peak of the market at the end of 2017. In January of 2018, it suddenly shut down amid growing legal pressure and government investigation. The coin value plummeted from over $400 down to just $30 in one day. The website remained open for withdrawals, though most balances were now next to worthless. Still, some deny the fact that this project was a clear Ponzi scheme and continue to trade these coins, in case of a later resurgence.</p>\n<h4><strong>Coincheck (Hacked)</strong></h4>\n<p>Coincheck is a Japanese exchange that was hacked for 500 million NEM tokens, which at the time was worth $530 million US dollars. They have been investigated by the government to determine how this happened, and how to pass new regulations to prevent it from happening with other exchanges.</p>\n<h4><strong>Blockchain.info (Spoofing)</strong></h4>\n<p>For years, an Ukranian hacking team used Google Ads to attract users to fake sites that mirrored blockchain.info, using malicious software and deception to trick users into giving up their wallet addresses and private keys. They have stolen over $50 million in Bitcoin from people. </p>\n<h4><strong>Mining Max (Mismanagement)</strong></h4>\n<p>Mining Max was an Ethereum mining operation that raised a whopping $250 Million USD from investors. The project seemed legitimate for a couple of months and even provided users with decent returns initially. After a couple of months, it was clear to everyone that Mining Max&rsquo;s business model was completely unsustainable, and the company was not designed to last long in the first place. A lot of things are still unknown about what went wrong, but it appears that out of the $250 million ICO fund, only $70 million was actually spent on the operation.</p>\n<h4><strong>Coinrail (Hacked)</strong></h4>\n<p>Coinrail, an exchange in South Korea, was hacked for over $40 million dollars&rsquo; worth of various cryptocurrencies. A blog post by Pundi X (one of the tokens</u> stolen) suggested that the hacker may have stolen 1,927 Ethereum, 2.6 billion NPXS, 93 million ATX and 831 million DENT coins, as well as significant amounts of six other tokens.</p>\n<h4><strong>Verge (Possible Scam and Hacked)</strong></h4>\n<p>Verge is a unique case, being labeled a scam (depending who you ask), and the victim of a hack. Proof of a possible scam is documented in many articles, from the <a href=\"https://hackernoon.com/why-verge-is-a-scam-and-fails-to-offer-real-privacy-6fbcab232fb5\">privacy Verge claims to provide being technical nonsense</a></u>, to the <a href=\"https://cryptoslate.com/verge-inconsistencies/\">movement of over 18 million coins from a company wallet, about which the founder lied about where it was going</a></u>.</p>\n<p>Since they have little idea about how technology works, hackers decided to target their blockchain looking for holes to exploit. They did, and for three hours, mined every single block, stealing over $3 million dollars&rsquo; worth of coins. The developers struggled to come up with a fix, and accidentally hard forked the whole chain. What&rsquo;s worse, the fix they eventually came up with did not work. The hacker continued to be able to mine all the coins. This is also not an isolated case of Verge getting hacked.</p>\n<p>If that wasn&rsquo;t bad enough, Verge&rsquo;s founder is also a well-documented criminal with a multi-offence history. Maybe you can give the benefit of the doubt to one or two of these circumstances, but altogether, it is too risky to lend any trust to this project, especially when there are much better projects out there to invest in. </p>\n<p>The diehard Verge community, whose stubbornness is the sole reason this coin has not yet fallen by the wayside, continues to believe this project will eventually deliver on its promises. A look at an article about<a href=\"http://cryptofinance24.com/failed-coins-that-once-were-in-the-top-ten-p370-171.htm\">Top 10 Coins That Failed</a></u> reveals nothing is too big to be a scam.</p>\n<p><strong>Bithumb (Hacked)</strong></p>\n<p>South Korean exchange Bithumb was hacked for $30 million dollars&rsquo; worth of various coins. Shortly after the attack, Bithumb announced it will refund users who were affected by the hack.</p>\n<h4><strong>PinCoin (Scam) </strong></h4>\n<p>Vietnamese investors put a whopping $660 million USD into PinCoin, only to have the 7 members of the company pulling an exit scam after the ICO, never intending working on the project. They left the country with nearly $100 million dollars each.</p>\n<h4><strong>US-I Tech (Scam)</strong></h4>\n<p>US-I Tech did most of their damage in 2017, promising ridiculous returns for Bitcoin investment, and actually delivering on their promise long enough to fool many novice speculators. Structured like a typical pyramid scheme, they sucked in hundreds of millions of dollars, before being raided by US officials in Texas, and ceasing operations in North America.</p>\n<p>When a coin is stolen from an exchange, it is often dumped right into the market, flooding the supply and causing the price to drop considerably. Usually the price will recover, though the time it takes depends on the size of the hack. However, when a coin is revealed to be a scam, it loses all its value, as the platforms and partnerships will never be made. Some of the larger scams in history like Bitconnect and Verge continue to be listed on exchanges, and their communities push volume around to keep the hope alive of recouping something for their investment, which of course means they may be duping new investors into taking on the rest of loss. So, Caveat emptor &ndash; let the buyer beware!</p>\nOriginally published at cryptofinance24.com.",

It is an open-source software others can use if they want to set up their own decentralized exchange of ERC-20 (Ethereum-based) tokens. ZRX is the token that empowers the 0x platform. \n\nA decentralized exchange has software that runs across many different computers, allowing, in theory, a safer and more anonymous token trading experience. It is an order book that accepts buy and sell orders, and then matches them up. Coins are kept in your own wallet at all times and there are no trading fees. The downsides of this are that the site runs slower, and many features of regular crypto-exchanges are not available (such as futures trading and margins). \n\n0x allows anyone to use their software for free. Anyone who creates their own decentralized exchange on the 0x platform is known as a Relayer. The ZRX tokens are used for making transactions on the blockchain from the Relayer. ZRX are also used in governance, as holders of ZRX can cast votes on community initiatives for later development. \n\nZRX was launched in August 2017, with a total supply of 1 billion. It is not a mineable token and the tokens are not necessary to use the protocol. Relayers can charge transaction fees of their own, which get converted to ZRX before being settled on the blockchain, but other than optional fees and voting rights, ZRX is not as critical to the 0x environment as many other projects’ native tokens are. However, the ability to use the 0x protocol for free, gives the project much more exposure as users are able to integrate this protocol without any cost to them or their project.\n\nCurrently, 0x powers some major DApps and a couple of known exchanges. The DApps Augur, District0x, Maker, and Request Network all run on top of the 0x protocol. Also, DDEX and Ethfinex are probably the best-known decentralized exchanges which currently live on this protocol. \n\n\nInteresting Facts:\n\n●\tAn up to date list of dApps and exchanges using the 0x protocol can be found here: https://github.com/0xProject/wiki/blob/master/community/List-of-Projects-Using-0x-Protocol.md\n\n●\tOnly Ethereum-based tokens can be traded on an exchange powered by 0x, but this may change in the near future, if the community votes to incorporate other token platforms such as EOS, Neo, or NEM.  \n\n●\tThe ZRX token sale was controlled in a way to ensure the most decentralized environment, posing restrictions and preventing groups of wealthy people from buying up the majority of the tokens.\n\n●\tA full breakdown of how the 0x governance works is explained in detail here: https://blog.0xproject.com/governance-in-0x-protocol-86779ae5809e\n\nWebsite: https://0xproject.com/ \nWhitepaper: https://0xproject.com/pdfs/0x_white_paper.pdf \nCoinmarketcap: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/0x/",

If no, and not judging those who do, then you should be really grateful for not being born in the 13th century. Back then it was common to seal a deal with a slap or some other type of traumatic event to boost one's memory about the accord. \nWe as a society have come a long way from engraving stones, gifting lockets of hair, inflicting pain, handshakes, signet rings, writing X, or signing John Hancock’s on a piece of paper, to finally arrive at digital encryption to express our consent and to validate our origin.\nThe Estonian ID-card ecosystem is currently the only public, mass used - and working - eID-system that among other things allows secure and legal digital signing. The ID-card has daily practical use from banking services to i-voting (and no, it is not a typo). \ne-Estonia, the digital governing platform uses scalable blockchain technology; KSI technology to be more precise.  It has been argued that this ecosystem is 15 years ahead of the rest of the world.\nSo, what are the perks of being an Estonian ID-card holder? On the official website (https://e-estonia.com) the government states that 99% of the public services are online 24/7 and because of that, 800 working years (that is about 7 000 000 hours, more than 6 hours per citizen) are saved every year. I-voting alone saves over 11 000 working hours per election. In addition to saving time, and not having to go to a physical location, plus having access to public services online, saves the users of the system and the government a lot of money.\nAll of this time and money that otherwise would have been wasted can now be used for something greater. Hopefully. \nInternet and digitalization technologies, and now blockchain technology, have noticeably decreased both the time and financial costs of the act of formal pact-making. Being able to pay your taxes or check your health record on your computer in the comfort of your living room are just a few examples of procedures that once took ages, but now take a mere second. New business to client related solutions are being developed and added to the ecosystem every year.\nThere are many different tools used to manage e-Estonia, and blockchain is the chosen platform for the security it provides. Quoting from the official website: “With KSI Blockchain deployed in Estonian government networks, history cannot be rewritten by anybody and the authenticity of the electronic data can be mathematically proven. It means that no-one – not hackers, not system administrators, and not even government itself – can manipulate the data and get away with that.” Timestamping the information and storing them on a distributed ledger are the main features of blockchain technology that achieve this level of security. Of course, this security is essential to any working system because all contracts are principally built on the expectation of trust. \nImagine signing a loan with your bank, registering your new business, signing a contract, or getting a prescription from your doctor without ever leaving your cottage in the middle of the forest, or your mansion on a small Caribbean island. Do we agree that it is useful to have more time, more money, more freedom, and the feeling of security that comes from this type of trust? Slap, to seal the deal!",

Starting with the design, followed by getting the right materials, creating the final piece, manufacturing in quantity, and delivering your dress to the store, there are many steps that take place before you place your hand on the hanger and take it from the rack. The same applies to the pre-cut salad you had for lunch. Have you ever thought about which farm it came from and how long those tomatoes were in the warehouse? How about the phone you are talking on, or the tea you are drinking? Where did the parts of the mobile phone come from; and how long were those tea leaves in storage, and in which country were they picked? \n\nThe Supply Chain is a system of processes, people, activities, information, and resources needed to move a product from the manufacturer to the consumer. The supply chain is essentially the process from natural resources and raw materials to a final product that is delivered to the consumer. This process involves all of the suppliers, manufacturers, and companies that assemble the products and deliver to the end customer.\n\nProblems with current Supply Chain\n\nSupply chain at the moment is long on data and short on trust. Significant lack of transparency generates constant suspicion of illegal and unethical practices. Companies are so keen on keeping their information private, without even seeing the damage they are doing to the trust between them and their suppliers and vendors. Building a strong relationship between parties starts with mutual respect, benefits, honesty and trust. \n\nFor supply chain management to work effectively, enterprises need to track the movement of the raw materials that are needed to create the products, optimize their inventory levels to reduce costs, and synchronize their supply with customer demand. Maintaining an overview of the logistics to ensure availability of materials and delivery of products helps to avoid production stoppages. By identifying the areas in which they are reliant on a single supplier, or which part of the chain has the weakest link, helps businesses to strengthen their processes.\n\nWith globalization, companies have the opportunity to move their manufacturing to countries with lower labor costs, lower taxes, and even lower costs for transporting the raw materials. One of the prime examples is China. Whatever piece of technology you take in your hand these days, there’s a high chance that it says “Made in China”.\n\nMoving your production away from the company’s HQ has its downside – it extends the production process and the company’s procurement network. Having suppliers in different geographic locations makes the supply chain longer and more complicated. Companies will have to coordinate and collaborate with parties across borders, manage manufacturing, storage, and logistics, deal with foreign laws and customs, and on top of that, they must maintain their fast delivery times, because the customers don’t care about the increased complexity of the manufacturer’s supply chain, they expect fast deliveries.\n\nCompanies need to maintain oversight of their production cycle and be aware of the real-time status of each step. This ensures the efficiency of their manufacturing process – from raw materials to finished goods.\nCompanies with international supply chains also have to consider different cultures, preferences and legal frameworks. There is an essential risk of losing control, oversight, and mismanagement over their inventory when the supply chain is taken lightly. \n\nWhat is Blockchain?\n\nThe blockchain is a distributed database that holds records of digital data, transactions or events in a way that makes them tamper-resistant. A blockchain ledger is updated and validated in real time with each network participant. It enables equal visibility of activities and reveals where an asset is at any point in time, who owns it and what condition it’s in. While many users may access, inspect, or add to the data, they can’t change or delete it. The original information stays still, leaving a permanent and a public mark about the fact on the blockchain.\n\nMain features that blockchain integration gives to supply chain \n\nTransparency – parties involved can track the product's journey across the supply chain, revealing its true origin. \n\nTraceability – you can find out instantaneously when a product has swapped hands or location, whether it has been kept in needed conditions, or even broke significant laws, such as the use of child labour. This also leaves out double or missing paperwork, certificates, claims and previously needed third parties. Smart contracts (contracts that run on the blockchain) make sure that all parties are part of fair trading practices. \n\nSecurity – blockchain allows data to be shared with known members within an agreed network. All the information, documentation and records will be stored and shared with all the member devices of the network, letting the information be visible to all the parties, according to their permission clearance. \n\nAutomation – data and documentation movement will be automated thanks to smart contracts, reducing administrative operations and costs. \n\nImmutability – if something is written on the blockchain, it is there permanently. No one can delete, forge or change it, unlike current the supply chain databases. \n\nMany industries have already made the steps towards blockchain integration within global logistics platforms to boost supply chain transparency and automate administrative operations.\n\nMining Industry\n\nBHB, the UK and Australian based mining company, implemented blockchain to record the movements of wellbore rock and fluid samples. For better security of real-time data that is generated during delivery swapping, the spreadsheet system that has been used for tracking and monitoring up to this point is no match to blockchain technology. Integrated blockchain will not only increase efficiency internally but also lets the company have more effective communication with their partners.\n\nHigh-End Luxury items Industry\n\nDe Beers added blockchain to their supply chain to track their diamonds’ way from the miners to cutting and polishing to retailers. With blockchain, they can significantly reduce the possibility of “blood diamonds” (diamonds mined in a war zone that are used to finance insurgency) being mixed with the real ones, or any other type of fraud.\n\nFood Industry\n\nEveryday lives are getting busier, leading people to buy and consume pre-cut and ready-made foods. Why shouldn’t you buy it – after all it is so convenient, right? Actually, no! With all the positive sides it has, there’s also negative sides – you don’t know where it came from, who washed or packaged it,  did they use gloves, did they wash the knife before cutting your salad, how long has it been in transit, and so many more questions. Every year there are at least 2-3 Escherichia coli (E. Coli) outbreaks in the US, with one of the largest outbursts over a decade ending recently, affecting 36 states, killing 5 people and sending 96 to the hospital. Incidents like these have shaken the whole nation and impacted jobs and revenue streams. To reduce the risk of contaminated food ending up on your dinner table, IBM and Walmart have formed the IBM Food Trust, a blockchain powered solution uniting growers, distributors, processors, retailers and other food industry stakeholders. The solution brings efficiency and safety to the food industry by providing a fast, end-to-end way of tracing the products and accessing the compliance certifications.\n\nConclusion\n\nBlockchain technology can change most industries, and supply chain management is one of the more obvious uses for this technology. Supply chain management provides enterprises, especially manufacturers, with tremendous competitive and business advantages. Adding blockchain to the mix will make your business more competitive, transparent, secure, tracable, and above all, trustworthy.\n\nOriginally published at cryptofinance24.com.",

By placing simple market orders, taking the best offer at the moment, you’re automatically paying a 10-20% premium, and here is why.\n\nThe crypto market is extremely volatile. Within the next week or two, it’s almost guaranteed that the price will fluctuate at least by 10%, either up or down, or even both. If you see a big green candle that has suddenly shot up, that is the worst time to buy. It’s more than likely going to come right back down again. Don’t FOMO (or panic with the ‘Fear Of Missing Out’) when you see that a coin has shot up 30% in the last day, as the chance to take a profit from that is likely over. Instead, it is much more likely to lose 20% of that over the next 48 hours, unless the growth is fueled by some huge news or a milestone. \n\nThe way to get the best deal is by setting limit orders. A limit order is essentially saying “I am willing to buy this many tokens, at the price I have selected.” The order book will then automatically make that buy for you, if there is a matching offer. These orders don’t expire, so you can conceivably leave an open limit order for months, or even years, waiting to take advantage of the next dip, whenever it may be. \n\nThis strategy works when the market is calm and is not losing or gaining tens of billions of dollars every day. This will not work during bull runs when the price never comes down for several months, and by the time it does, you’ve missed out on huge returns. In the case of a bear market, you can also place staggered limit orders, buying a little bit at each interval as the price drops lower and lower. \n\nTo place a limit buy order, let’s use Binance as an example:\n\n![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmW1QBKWeCH9BzvaWmMRoPBv2JYWiyxn12rJorzz2ZMmJm/image.png)\n \nFirst thing to note on the chart is the current price on the left, which changes in real-time. Next, select the Limit tab. Lastly, entered a price lower than the current price. If I enter a higher price, it will trigger automatically, and foolishly pay much more money, so be careful with this function. \n\nSet your price lower in small increments, or even set multiple limit buy orders. Spreading the amount you want to invest on multiple orders that each have a lower limit gives you the ability to take advantage of a continuing downfall of the market and purchase quantities of your desired crypto at lower, and lower prices. This practice is often called dollar-cost averaging.\n\nA 2%-5% swing is normal to happen, so if you’re looking for a substantial chunk of savings, set your limit really low and forget about it for a couple weeks.\n\nIn the bottom left corner, you can see it says, “Open Orders”, which will be changed to display your limit orders that have not been filled yet.\n\nA limit sell order is the opposite. You set a higher price than what the current price is, and it will wait to match you with a buy order once the market price rises. \n\nThe Stop Limit tab is very similar, depending on how you use it. As mentioned above, if you put in a limit buy order higher than the current price, it will be triggered automatically. But a stop limit buy order will not trigger automatically. It will wait until the market climbs to that price, before triggering a buy. This is useful in a situation where you want to see some recovery in the market before buying into something.\n\nThe stop limit sell order can be used as a safety net to limit your losses. When you have set up a stop limit sell order at a level where you are comfortable selling your coins, then when there is a major dip in the market, the order will sell your coins at the level you have set, making sure that your crypto portfolio doesn't plummet with the market.\n\nA combination of limit orders and stop limit orders can keep your investments within a safe zone, when you don’t have the time to wait for something to recover or normalize. \n\nBy combining all of these different orders, you can create a quite sophisticated trading system. Your limit buy orders make sure to take advantage of falling prices, while your stop limit buy orders are there to make sure that you won't miss out on the next bull run. The limit sell orders ensure that you will sell your coins at the most profitable moment and the stop limit sell orders are securing you against significant dips.\n\n![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRd2dDrfN5XxNGFzqYu4wVwBr4zDZACkYsTLL5dHtbYhr/image.png) \n\nOf course, setting up such a system takes a lot of work, practice, patience, and even some losses. It's all a part of the learning process. If it would be that easy, everyone in the crypto community would be driving around in a ‘lambo’ (Lamborghini) and not just dreaming about it.\n\nLike it is with everything, as you get more practice, you will become better. You will learn to recognize better buying and selling opportunities, and accumulate your fortune much faster with these methods as opposed to just simple market buys and sells. \n\nStart with really small amounts just to get used to the tools; and don't trade when you are tired, as it is very easy to make mistakes when you are half asleep. In crypto, there are no take-backs, do-overs, or refunds. Everyone has to live with the decisions they make, so be alert, smart, and remember that trading is just the simple act of buying when it is red and selling when it is green, which is of course easier said than done.\n\nOriginally published at cryptofinance24.com.",
