Crypto Trader DataDash Says Bitcoin Is Bottoming – Plus Ripple and XRP, Ethereum, Tron, Litecoin, IOTA, Stellar

  • From Bitcoin’s price action to the adoption of XRP, Stellar, and Litecoin, here’s a look at some of the stories breaking in the world of crypto.
  • YouTube’s biggest crypto analyst Nicholas Merten says he believes Bitcoin is bottoming.

Bitcoin

YouTube’s biggest crypto analyst Nicholas Merten says he believes Bitcoin is bottoming.

In the latest edition of DataDash, Merten compares BTC’s current price action to the market decline in 2014 and subsequent sideways trading in 2015, and says three indicators suggest Bitcoin is entering a period of sideways consolidation before a run to the upside.

Merten says the 50 and 100-week moving averages, stochastic RSI and true strength indicator all signal BTC is starting to enter a bottoming phase.

“We’re going to need to see much more substantial price action for Bitcoin to be considered in a bull market. So we’re in neither really a bear market as of the last few weeks, and we’re also not in a bull market. Again, we have to see a justification of price on either side.”

According to Merten’s analysis, current market conditions indicate it will take a few weeks or months for Bitcoin to start gaining momentum.

Ripple and XRP

Days after adding XRP to its platform, the Bahrain-based crypto exchange Rain says the digital asset has officially been declared Sharia-compliant in an audit from their partner, the Shariyah Review Bureau.

Our Shari’a compliance audit was completed by our partner @ShariyahReview.

Ripple has been pushing to expand its presence in the Middle East, announcing an expansion in the region late last year.

Ethereum

Mist, one of the first projects from the Ethereum Foundation, is shutting down. The Mist browser, also known as the Ethereum DApp Browser, allowed users to access Ethereum applications and projects. The Mist wallet, designed to be downloaded and run on a computer, allowed users to store, send and receive crypto.

In a farewell post, developer Alex Van de Sande outlines a number of the project’s technical problems, and names Samsung, Opera and Brave as projects that are better suited to move the tech forward.

“While I’m proud of all the accomplishments we achieved in this time advancing the usability of Ethereum and sharing a vision for web3, we feel Mist, the browser has outlived it’s usefulness: the ecosystem has matured so much that now the user has tons of great options of wallets and browsers on both mobile and desktop.”

This is a bitter post to announce, but we are discontinuing Mist. You can read the full post here but for your convenience I will try to summarize in a few tweets: https://t.co/eqw5yWacsa

There are mainly two reasons a good and a bad one: ecosystem and security

Litecoin

Jon Moore aka ‘Johnny Litecoin’, the vice president of Nationwide Merchant Solutions, is showing off Litecoin’s integration with the payment system Clover.

Checkout the Clover Flex device!! #Clover devices can easily display a #Litecoin Payment button with QR code printing on receipt for easy payment. Clover also integrates with @ecwid which allows for LTC/BTC Payments to come in from online and the data connects to Clover!! pic.twitter.com/WNVRG3BYKP

— Jon Moore (@jonnylitecoin) March 20, 2019

The Clover platform offers free open-source code allowing merchants to implement custom third-party payment options.

Stellar

The foreign exchange company Currency Matters says it’s joining IBM’s World Wire remittance platform, which is powered by the Stellar blockchain.

“By connecting to the World Wire network, Currency Matters now has access to a single unified network for foreign exchange and cross-border payments clearing and settlement built on blockchain technology and the Stellar public protocol. This will allow Currency Matters to offer clients the ability to conduct transactions across additional currency corridors and provide access to new digital assets including stable coins using Stellar Lumens (XLM).”

So far, IBM says six banks have signed letters of intent to issue their own stablecoins on the platform.

Tron

The Tron community site Tron.Live is giving crypto enthusiasts an inside look at Tron’s headquarters in Beijing. It occupies two floors with modern flair, lime green accents, wall art, smiling stuffed animals, a circular resting area, a tatami room and a rainbow-colored entertainment lounge. Source: Tron.Live

Tron currently has offices in San Francisco, Singapore and Beijing.

IOTA

IOTA just released the latest edition of the Untangled podcast. The episode explores the platform’s push for smart city adoption, focusing on the energy sector and what the cities of the near future may look like.

KABN – It Happened: #Visa to Open Crypto Division

It Happened: Visa to Open Crypto Division

 By Abhimanyu Krishnan

It appears that Visa is getting into the cryptocurrency game, after many years of discussion about how cryptocurrency would render Visa obsolete.

The payments processing giant listed a new job opportunity titled “Technical Project Manager, Visa Fintech”, and the listing does not hide its intention that it has to do with cryptocurrencies.

The listing reads

Are you passionate about the intersection of payments and cryptocurrency? Are you deeply familiar with permissionless blockchain technology and have a close network of experts in the fast moving cryptocurrency and fintech ecosystem? Are you excited about the challenge of developing new products for Visa to deliver value to fintechs looking to support cryptocurrencies?

Visa would like the hired candidate to outline a crypto strategy and roadmap and, working with the Visa Research team, develop new products.

The job listing refers to the impact of crypto on payments:

This highly motivated individual will be responsible for managing a product roadmap and collaborating with key stakeholders across…will [also] work in close collaboration with the Visa Research team to develop new products to deliver value to fintechs and Visa. This person should…anticipate how cryptocurrencies could impact payments.

Visa CEO Alfred F. Kelly Jr. has previously been somewhat dismissive of cryptocurrencies, saying that Visa will not process Bitcoin transactions:

We at Visa won’t process transactions that are cryptocurrency-based. We will only process fiat currency-based transactions, Visa CEO Alfred F. Kelly Jr. said in January 2018

Visa joins some major established players like JP Morgan Chase in entering the crypto space. The list established entities joining crypto has grown in recent times with IBM working with 6 international banks, allowing them to launch their own stablecoins on its World Wire product, while Facebook is reportedly working on a crypto asset that will integrate with WhatsApp.

While Visa’s decision to enter cryptocurrency may invoke ridicule or distrust from the crypto community, given how crypto competes directly with the payments processor, the fact that Visa is even considering cryptocurrencies shows how persuasive the technology’s capabilities are, especially if a large entity such as Visa is entering the space.

KABN’s integrated suite of products, which has received approval by Visa, solves this major challenge by empowering digital currency holders to spend in-store and online, as well as, access ATMs globally wherever Visa is accepted.

HOW BIG IS THE PROBLEM KABN IS SOLVING?

In the US alone, this type of card volume is expected to grow to over $396B by 2022.  Worldwide volume will follow the same trajectory and expected growth is exponential.


KABN’s integrated suite of products consists of:

  • KABN’s Pegasus Flyte Visa card offers an “on/off ramp” for cryptocurrency conversion to traditional currencies (e.g., USD, Euros and British Pounds, etc.)

*Pre-production cart art subject to network approval

  • A mobile banking wallet that manages multiple traditional currencies and digital currencies via links to crypto partners and exchanges as well as offering other financial features and services
  • A robust loyalty and engagement platform, providing Customers with additional value-added services.
  • KABN’s anchor product, KABN ID, is a patent-pending, GDPR compliant, Blockchain and biometrically-based, “Always On” ID validation and verification platform.
  • The KABN ID proprietary process allows for efficient and frictionless onboarding, allowing Customer’s to control the use of their verified identification without having to provide confidential documentation to unknown 3rd parties.

KABN’s technology has been built, their partners are in place, they have been approved by Visa and they are ready to go for their European launch in the 2nd quarter with an expected expansion to North America later this year.

Technologies of #Blockchain- Part 4: Conclusion

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:28 PM on Wednesday, December 5th, 2018

By Dr. Kiran Garimella

In parts 1-3, we briefly touched on some of the historical foundations of blockchains from computer science and mathematics, including their sub-topics such as distributed systems and cryptography. Specific topics in either of these categories were consensus mechanisms, fault-tolerance, scaling, zero-knowledge proofs, etc.

Obviously, this brief series doesn’t do justice. The history of computing and mathematics is rich, with many interconnections and dependencies. The goal of this series was to provide just enough to make the point that the technologies that power blockchain (whether public or private) were built on a well-established foundation of various topics with contributions from real scientists in both industry and academia. The graphic below depicts the broad brush-strokes of development, clearly showing how current blockchain technologies are based on a wide spectrum of historical developments.

Technologies of Blockchain – Historical Timeline

Conclusion
As you can see, a tremendous amount of development that took place for almost half a century made the modern blockchain possible. Bringing these technologies together—almost all of them based not on just techniques but deep mathematical foundations—into a cohesive whole in the form of a bitcoin application was no doubt a tremendous achievement in itself.

Moving forward, we need to keep in mind the initial motivation for each of these technologies, their strengths, their limitations, and determine how to create different architectures based on business needs. A good example of this is to relax the requirements of anonymity, strengthen safety, incorporate recourse, improve security, and incorporate the enormous complexity of regulatory compliance in securities transactions. Making such trade-offs doesn’t detract from the need for public, decentralized blockchains. On the contrary, this strengthens the use of the blockchain technology ‘horizontally’ across many industries and use cases.

In the near future, we expect to see some innovation in blockchains to improve performance and scalability, which is a special challenge for public blockchains. Along the same lines, there will be new consensus mechanisms going mainstream (such as proof-of-stake). For consensus and validation, blockchain researchers are investigating efficient implementation of zero-knowledge proofs and specific variants such as zkSNARKs.

  • Multiplayer video game competitions, or eSports, are huge.
  • Starting with the Space Invaders Championship of 1980, which saw 10,000 gamers compete for glory and intergalactic domination, contests and tournaments have long been a component of the gaming environment
  • Practice of eSports has evolved meteorically since the age of alien invasion
August 12, 2018 12:00 PM

ETHNews sat down with Merit founder and CEO Adil Wali to learn about the connection between the eSports and cryptocurrency communities.

Multiplayer video game competitions, or eSports, are huge. Starting with the Space Invaders Championship of 1980, which saw 10,000 gamers compete for glory and intergalactic domination, contests and tournaments have long been a component of the gaming environment.

The practice of eSports has evolved meteorically since the age of alien invasion. Major League Gaming, one of the largest eSports networks, was established 16 years ago. The popular eSports battle arena game Defense of the Ancients (Dota) was released a year later. The next iteration of this title, Dota 2, hit screens 10 years later, in 2013.

Today, eSports reigns supreme. According to one estimate, in 2017 alone, there were approximately 4,064 gaming tournaments, which provided around $113.6 million in prize money. And the industry continues to grow.

The rapid progression of the eSports landscape calls to mind another innovation currently captivating the world: blockchain and cryptocurrency technology. Although the industries are different in scope – one is solely related to video games, while the other involves digital currency and the underlying infrastructure of decentralized computer networks – the two have a lot in common. They may also complement one another.

Adil Wali, founder and CEO of the crypto company Merit Labs, certainly thinks so. He believes one major intersection is each industry’s global presence.

“The interesting thing about eSports, and why I think it’s such a good fit for crypto, is that it’s inherently global,” Wali told ETHNews. “There’s a turnout from every country, and it’s popular around the world. The reason that’s particularly good for crypto is that these decentralized networks are also inherently global, and they’re super fast around the world.”

He ultimately sees the connection between the two spaces as a “thematic parallel.” For example, one shared theme is community-building, especially across borders. To Wali, both eSports and the cryptospace act “as sort of a countermovement” to isolationism and allow people to be “global citizens.”

Because of this practical overlap – the concern with both speed and globalization, as it were – he believes there is opportunity for blockchain and crypto tech to be integrated into the eSports environment. Like many other industries, competitive gaming has its share of issues. According to Wali, this is where the tech could potentially help. “[P]layers on pro teams – when they move from team to team – [that requires] some integrity around knowing who’s been where and what teams they’ve played on.” He explained further:

“What blockchain is really good at is having this decentralized, immutable data store that allows you to track an entity over time. If you think about where we are with eSports, there’s actually quite a lot of data around the players and around stats. There’s clearly a data case there.”

Wali also discussed the example of supporting eSports teams. With conventional sports, an easy way to accomplish that is through television – fans can tune in to watch their favorite teams. With the global nature of eSports and its general lack of professional support, however, TV is not the most practical option for the industry.

Considering this, Wali believes that team-based cryptocurrencies and the ICO fundraising model could provide gamers with the support they need to go to tournaments and participate in the space. The funding opportunities available to the competitive gaming community now, especially through blockchain and crypto tech, starkly contrast those available during the industry’s early days. He recalled that his eSports “team won the world championship in Halo,” a multiplayer first-person shooter game, back in the year 2004. But getting there was not a cakewalk; many players, including Wali, had to pay to play.

Wali’s optimism about competitive gaming led him and his company to partner with Team VGJ, an eSports organization comprised of two Dota 2 teams: Storm in North America and Thunder in China. The organization is owned by famous basketball player and competitive gamer Jeremy Lin. Wali was drawn to the partnership because he believes that Merit Labs’ and Team VGJ’s values align:

“I think that just as a person, Jeremy represents a lot of what we represent as an organization with our ethos. He’s also a gamer. He’s not just doing this. There are a lot of people who’ve done this eSports thing because it’s kind of the hot thing to do, especially among professional, physical-sport athletes. Jeremy plays Dota. He’s a gamer through and through. I think that’s another big part of it – being true to the community and being true to the thing you’re doing.”

However, Wali could not reveal specific projects the two groups had in store. What he could say, though, was that he and his company were interested in Team VGJ’s “global footprint.”

“We’re thinking a lot about how we think about global commerce as it touches eSports and as that touches crypto,” said Wali. “That’s some of the thematic thinking we’re doing.”

Besides Merit’s partnership with Jeremy Lin’s competitive gaming organization, Wali sees more for the continued integration of blockchain and crypto tech into the eSports landscape. He returned to the concept of value alignment:

“When you compare eSports to physical sports, [eSports are] still very much about the players. It’s about this sense of individuality. It doesn’t feel like there’s this big corporate component to it, and I think that’s very aligned with crypto, which is all about decentralization – all about individuals doing things for themselves without having to have somebody else run the show for them. If you think about how well those two things coincide, I think there’s a really bright future.”

From a broader perspective, the advancement of both eSports and crypto tech is in its infancy. Competitive gaming has only started to ramp up within the last two decades (recall that Major League Gaming was established in 2002). Further, crypto has only been around for the past several years, with Ethereum’s debut as recent as 2015. We are all still babies in this tech space.

Because the eSports-crypto connection is near its genesis, Wali believes there are myriad possibilities for the future. “I have a sense that it’s beginning now, but to be honest, I don’t know where it ends,” he said. “It can keep going in so many ways.”

St-Georges Eco-Mining $SX $SX.ca $SXOOF Announces Termination of #ZeU’s Asset Purchase Agreement with Tiande and Updates Spin-Out Listing $HIVE.ca $BLOC.ca $CODE.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:45 AM on Monday, August 13th, 2018

Sx large

  • Subsidiary ZeU Crypto Networks Inc. has received a termination notice for the asset purchase agreement dated February 23, 2018, as amended May 17, 2018, among ZeU, Qingdao Tiande Technologies Limited, an affiliate of Beijing Tiande Technologies Limited’s
  • Termination notice received by ZeU was accompanied by a request to negotiate a new agreement.
  • A negotiation team composed of Vilhjalmur T. Vilhjalmsson and Mark Billings was appointed to review new proposals.

Montreal, Quebec / August 13, 2018 – St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. (CSE: SX) (OTC: SXOOF) (FSE: 85G1) announces that its subsidiary ZeU Crypto Networks Inc. (“ZeU”) has received a termination notice for the asset purchase agreement dated February 23, 2018, as amended May 17, 2018, among ZeU, Qingdao Tiande Technologies Limited, an affiliate of Beijing Tiande Technologies Limited’s (collectively “Tiande”), with the intervention of Guiyang Tiande Technologies Limited, pursuant to which ZeU agreed to purchase the rights (the “Rights”) to substantially all the intellectual property of Tiande, as more particularly described in St-Georges February 26 and May 22, 2018 press releases.

The termination notice received by ZeU was accompanied by a request to negotiate a new agreement. A negotiation team composed of Vilhjalmur T. Vilhjalmsson and Mark Billings was appointed to review new proposals. Unfortunately, despite significant concessions offered by ZeU to negotiate and finalize a new agreement, the demands made by Tiande were simply not possible to accommodate in terms of both commercial viability and securities regulations. The overriding and irreconcilable factor was the unprecedented demand by Tiande that St-Georges somehow bears alone the financial burden of the downturn in blockchain and cryptocurrency valuations over the past six months. These revised and unreasonable financial demands by Tiande rendered the transaction commercially impossible for ZeU and very unlikely to have received the acceptance of regulatory authorities during the listing process.

To this end, ZeU has commenced the process of consulting with its legal advisors to seek full reimbursement and compensation of its expenses, as well as, to review potential actions on behalf of its shareholders.

CURRENT STATUS OF ZEU

The current status of ZeU is as follows. First, it still holds an exclusive license to use Qingdao Tiande Technologies Limited and Beijing Tiande Technologies Limited’s (collectively “Tiande”) proprietary technologies, patents and know-how to develop and commercialize novel mineral commodity production chain control, tracking and trading exchanges. Second, as a result of work product over this past 6 months, ZeU has a number of meaningful commercial opportunities available to pursue, including MOU’s that have already been signed with clients that are still willing to negotiate definitive agreements. As such, ZeU intends to pursue its listing process on the CSE.

MANAGEMENT CHANGES TO FOCUS OPERATIONS

As a result of the continuing development of ZeU, the following changes will be implemented effective immediately, Mark Billings will assume the position of Executive Chairman of St-Georges and Vilhjalmur T. Vilhjalmsson will assume the position of Interim President & CEO to fully focus their efforts on following up on the legal status of the transaction termination, the mineral exploration and processing technology development within St-Georges. Frank Dumas will focus his time on St-Georges’ subsidiaries, ZeU Crypto Networks Inc. and Borealis EHF in the capacity of President to accelerate the numerous current opportunities and developments.

ZeU management understands that shareholders will have many questions over the coming days and will provide full accessibility via its CEO Verified Discussion Forum on AGORACOM at https://agoracom.com/ir/St-GeorgesEco-MiningTechnologies/forums/discussion where shareholders can post questions and/or read answers in a fully transparent manner. Shareholders are asked to post their questions and management will address them when the answers become available.

TORONTO, April 12, 2018 — Peeks Social Ltd. (TSXV:PEEK) (OTCQB:PKSLF) (“Peeks Social” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that the Peeks Social wallet is now accepting Bitcoin transactions. The ability to instantly interact and transact using Bitcoins represents an important shift by the Company towards the future of online currency transactions.

Users of Peeks Social are now able to fund their wallets with Bitcoin for use within the Peeks Social platform, allowing them to use their Bitcoin to purchase paid content, tip broadcasters, and contribute to crowdfunding campaigns, amongst other uses. Broadcasters are able to receive rewards they earn in a number of ways including directly to their prepaid Peeks Social  Prepaid Cards.  Users loading Bitcoins into their wallets are able to subsequently transfer the unused cash balance of their Peeks Social tokens to their prepaid Peeks Social Prepaid Cards instantly to spend at online and bricks and mortar retailers around the world.

Since cryptocurrency purchases are not subject to payment processing fees, the addition of cryptocurrency transactions are expected to reduce the aggregate payment processing fees currently associated with processing payments within the Peeks Social platform. The majority of deposits received by the Peeks Social platform are processed through in-app payments, which are subject to a 30% payment processing fees from their respective app stores.

Peeks Social will be evaluating the addition of other cryptocurrencies for use with the Peeks Social wallet.

The Peeks Social app can be downloaded in either the Apple or Google app stores, or by visiting www.peeks.social.
