Day: February 3, 2018

Tallinn, Feb. 03, 2018 – Reality Reflection, a VC-backed virtual reality(VR) and augmented reality(AR) startup announced today that the company has successfully raised $5million through ICO Pre-Sale of Moss Coin, an Ethereum based cryptocurrency.

The ICO Pre-Sale was the first in Korean game industry, and it was launched in the form of crowdfunding campaign for the company’s new project ‘Mossland’, a location-based AR mobile game that involved with virtual real estate.

Mossland adds in-depth gamification on top of the traditional check-in games such as Foursquare. Users can identify nearby real properties, acquire and trade them in the game. Virtual properties in the game can be tradable and liquified through cryptocurrency exchange, so users will put time and effort to increase the value of their properties. Users can also be virtual owners of famous landmarks such as Eiffel Tower or Statue of Liberty.

From the foundation date, Reality Reflection has been accumulating in-depth technical expertise on digital human character and knowhow on 3D photorealistic scanning technology, envisioning a Virtual Reality world with realistic digital characters. Also they have been in the forefront of developing creative VR contents upon launch of VR HMD in 2016 including HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. Such word-of-mouth reputation and credibility have led the Pre Sales of the Moss Coin to an instant success and laid a firm foundation to start developing the Mossland project with minimum marketing.

Wooram Son, CEO of Reality Reflection, said: “Thanks to the overwhelming interest of users in Mossland, the Pre Sale could be closed successfully in just 38 minutes. As many people are excited as we are to create a mobile game that you can own famous landmarks, we will put all of our effort in developing Mossland to give unique experience to our users.”

Chicago Tribune

Bitcoin machines bring cryptocurrency to bars, other Fox Valley businesses Chicago Tribune While bitcoin has been around since 2009, interest in the cryptocurrency sparked in December when the price of coin peaked at almost $20,000 after starting 2017 at less than $1,000. On Friday, the price dropped and settled at just over $9,300 per coin ... and more »

For as long as people can remember, there has been a tight relationship between eBay and PayPal. In virtually every case, PayPal is a required option for anyone looking to sell items on the global auction site. That situation will come to change in the near future, as eBay has announced its plan to ditch PayPal as its main payment option. It is a rather surprising turn of events, albeit one that could be quite positive for both companies.

What Comes Next for eBay?

It is evident that limiting a global auction site to one main payment method and two or three optional solutions is a bit problematic. Especially in this era of digital payments and competing financial services, there is no reason for eBay to tie its fate to PayPal whatsoever. Even though the platform has made a big impact outside of the online auction industry as well, it’s still something which could hold eBay back in terms of its global appeal.

The number of current payment options on eBay is somewhat limited. Sellers are almost forced to enable PayPal, even if they would prefer to get paid via a wire transfer or money order. This has always been a problem, as users felt they never had a real say in the matter. After many years of giving PayPal the benefit of the doubt, it seems both companies will finally go their separate ways. This news may even be a result of eBay spinning off PayPal as an independent brand a while ago.

With this change looming on the horizon, there is a lot of speculation to contend with. Everyone wants to know if eBay will introduce another mandatory payment option. If so, there is no indication as to which solution that might be, as the company has not announced any candidates. We do know the company is looking to integrate a new payment system built by Adyen, a Dutch company which can provide access to many different payment methods.

According to Engadget, the Adyen integration may occur as soon as Q2 or Q3 of this year. This means that time is ticking for PayPal, even though it will not be removed from eBay altogether. Instead, it will simply cease to be the default option for users of the auction website. Whether or not this will diminish PayPal’s appeal in any way remains to be seen. The company doesn’t have the best of reputations due to its strict regulation of accounts and random security checks which prevent people from accessing funds for up to 180 days.

It is also worth noting that Adyen supports a lot of interesting payment methods including cryptocurrency, although it’s unclear if the latter will ever be a part of the eBay platform. It makes sense for eBay to not disclose too much information until the new payment system is built and tested thoroughly. All sellers on the platform will be introduced to this new payment system between late 2018 and early 2021. Moreover, PayPal payments will remain available until July of 2023.

With both companies seemingly ending their long-term relationship, eBay is acknowledging that now is the time to offer alternative payment options to both buyers and sellers. This new intermediate payment system will make it easier for sellers to track all of their transactions. Moreover, it will reduce the company’s payment processing charges, which will boost eBay’s revenue by up to US$2 billion in the years to come.

Hardware wallets are an essential tool for any cryptocurrency investor managing a portfolio with a fat dollar sign in front of it.  They can keep funds safe from malware, phishing attacks, and general hacking foul-play.  But current models are somewhat limited in scope, as they can only be used to manage cryptocurrencies and not the sensitive information–bank account info, exchange passwords, etc.–that are associated with managing a portfolio.

Disclosure: This is a Sponsored Article

That’s why Giza is building the swiss army knife of hardware wallets, a one device solution that will allow cryptocurrency investors to safely store both assets and sensitive information.  According to the project’s website, the Giza team building “an innovative and easy in use device, [which includes a] cryptocurrency wallet, password manager, u2f authentication system and encrypted data storage.”

As such, Giza will set itself apart from the competition by being the all-in-one hardware wallet solution to make investing more secure and convenient for crypto enthusiasts around the world.

What Sets Giza Apart

Like its competitors, Giza offers offline, hardware wallet storage of popular cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Zcash, Dash, Ark, and plenty of ERC20 tokens.  Like other hardware wallets, it includes encrypted storage for your investments as well as a backup seed phrase for restoring them in case of an accident.  But it also houses a number of unique features, including:

Enhanced Durability: Giza’s sturdy design is composed of gorilla glass and a water-repellent silumin body.

Enhanced Security Features: “In case of emergency all the data stored in your GIZA device can be destructed in three different ways: false master password, which can be set up by the user; secret joystick combination, which is also customizable, or multiple false master password input.”  It also enable two factor authentication for any transaction approved using your device to ensure maximum security.  Lastly, all seed phrases will be encrypted and stored on Giza’s blockchain, meaning that device recovery is even more secure than with traditional hardware wallets.

Versatility: Unlike Trezor or Ledger Nano S, Giza has in internal battery that allows users to access the wallet’s functions without plugging it into a computer.  Moreover, each device can accommodate up to 3 separate accounts. Further, the device sports both a usb cable and bluetooth for device connectivity.

Giza App: Users can manage their Giza device using a nifty mobile app.  The app provides its users with an easily navigable user interface, allowing them to manage all of their Giza’s function right on their smartphones or tablets. There is also Giza Browser Extension, however it’s not necessary to install it on your computer, if you don’t want to leave any digital trace

It doesn’t stop there.  Here are Giza’s functions outside of hardware wallet storage:

Password Manager: In a world where you may have dozens of passwords for different exchanges, online banking logins, and ICO registration accounts, it can be dizzying trying to keep every password in your head.  More worrisome, it can be treacherous to keep your passwords in files on your computer’s basic storage.  That’s why Giza offers its users a built-in password manager, so that they can manage all of their passwords offline in a single, encrypted place.

Encrypted File Storage: Giza even comes replete with 16GB of encrypted storage for anything else you might want to store.  From sensitive identity information to private documents, you can store it all on Giza’s secure, encrypted memory chip.

Giza Token: Giza also has its own token.  According to the project’s whitepaper, “GIZA is an ERC 20 token, which represents a unit of value of software license. Each holder of GIZA token may express the intention to lease his/her license right to the future GIZA Device users and be entitled to the income of the company in accordance with his/her tokens percentage. As a result the market price of GIZA token will grow progressively as the income of the company. GIZA tokens will be sold with following features…[the] cost of software license is 80% out of total cost of each GIZA Device.”  Thus, 80% of the company’s income will be distributed amongst token holders.

A Unique Opportunity

Given the scope of its vision, the innovations it’s presenting, and the sleekness of its design, Giza recalls images of Apple in its early stages twenty years ago.  This could prove to be one of the more exciting and lucrative opportunities going into 2018.

The team has already started distributing their devices, and the token sale is still active.  But you better hurry, because so far, 84% of tokens have been sold, and the sale will only be active for another 12 days at best.

Giza is certainly worth looking into, and if you’re sold on the idea, worth a buy.  Who knows?  It could be like buying Apple in 1999.

SINGAPORE, February 03, 2018 — fidentiaX, the World’s 1st Marketplace for Tradable Policies powered by blockchain technology, together with iXledger, a ground-breaking alternative marketplace for reinsurers, insurers and brokers to trade insurance products directly, are pleased to share the initiatives between the two disruptive marketplaces.

Connectivity between two Marketplace to Disrupt the “Distribution-Chain”

Insurance policies are, in their simplest form, means of transferring risk. Policyholders purchase an insurance policy to transfer a certain form of insurable risk to the insurer, who will then “re-sell” that risk to the reinsurer.

The “distribution-chain” however is not as simple and involves various intermediaries between the policyholder and the insurer, such as Agents (independent, tied/exclusive, insurer-employed and self-employed), Brokers (retail, wholesale, syndicate, etc) and Reinsurers. The involvement of these various intermediaries creates an additional layer of cost supported by the policyholder.

Connecting fidentiaX’s Marketplace directly to iXledger’s Marketplace would allow members of fidentiaX’s Marketplace direct access to iXledger’s Marketplace participants product offerings. With blockchain technology and the connectivity between the two Marketplaces, the potential cost savings on both ends of the spectrum will be significant.

Additional Utility for fdX and IXT tokens within fidentiaX Marketplace

There are numerous advantages of including tradable policies as part of an investment portfolio such as better Risk-Return performance versus similar risk class instrument, inherent capital preservation feature and liquidity.

Both fidentiaX and iXledger believe that this new “asset class” could be a welcoming addition to an individual/corporate portfolio and hence the inclusion of fdX and IXT tokens for the purchase of tradable policies on fidentiaX’s Marketplace.

fidentiaX’s Marketplace will be accepting the following for the purchase of tradable policies on the platform:

– Fiat Currencies (e.g. EUR, USD, GBP, AUD, SGD, etc)

– BTC (Bitcoin)

– ETH (Ethereum)

– fdX (tokens issued by fidentiaX)

– IXT (tokens issued by iXledger)

“Since the announcement of our strategic partnership with iXledger back in November 2017, both teams have been working closely together on solutions to democratize the insurance industry. This is just the first step towards our joint vision of “waking the sleeping giant”. We are very excited about the potential of this partnership.” Alvin Ang, Co-founder of fidentiaX

“By partnering with fidentiaX we are able to add B2C offerings to iXledger which is part of our core strategy. We are very excited to enter the Asian markets together with fidentiaX and with the newly opened iXledger Singapore office, we are well positioned to take advantage of the unique opportunities within this growing market”. Ingemar Svensson, Founder and CEO, iXledger

About iXledger

iXledger is a groundbreaking alternative marketplace for insurance. The blockchain based platform facilitates improved customer service, fuels new efficient business models, drives faster transactions and reduces risk through data access and collaboration.

About fidentiaX

fidentiaX is a Singapore-based fintech startup that was launched in 2017 to disrupt the insurance market by leveraging blockchain technology to create an active market for tradable life insurance policies. The fidentiaX founding team consists of industry veterans with more than 35 years of experience in the banking and insurance industry.

It seems people can’t get enough of transparent pyramid schemes on top of the Ethereum blockchain. Just like any other unique idea involving blockchain and cryptocurrency, it doesn’t take long for multiple clones to come into existence. Given all of the shenanigans we have seen with PoWHCoin and ShadowFork, it is only normal that people are more hesitant when it comes to these opportunities. That won’t stop EthPyramid from becoming a success, though.

EthPyramid is Another Disaster Waiting to Happen

There is something seriously wrong with a lot of people if they think transparent pyramid schemes are a great use case for smart contract technology. While it is true we need to find as many use cases for smart contracts as possible, running a pyramid scheme is not something that will get many positive headlines. The big difference is that projects such as EthPyramid are completely transparent and warn investors well in advance that they can – and probably will – lose money at some point.

In the case of PoWHCoin and ShadowFork, one coding error spelled disaster. Even though the code was public for everyone to see, it only became apparent there was a major flaw after people had thrown nearly US$1 million worth of Ether into the pyramid scheme. Due to an infinite negative gas price loop, no one was able to withdraw money from this smart contract. The money stored in the contract is probably lost forever and highlights the immaturity of smart contract technology in its current state.

This makes it all the more surprising to see yet another Ethereum-based pyramid scheme gain traction rather quickly. EthPyramid has a very similar formula, even though the creator claims its smart contract code was built from scratch. Whether that means there are no flaws or malicious functions to be found is a different matter altogether. Most people who participate in these investment opportunities can’t read the inner workings of a smart contract due to a lack of knowledge. They will find things out the hard way, unfortunately.

As one would expect, EthPyramid is completely transparent about the service it provides. Tokens are issued to investors, yet these tokens have no value outside of engaging in the EthPyramid game. They are also not a real investment and should never be considered as such. EthPyramid also offers reinvestable dividends and a 10% redistribution for every token sold by holders. It is a nice evolution of smart contract-based pyramid schemes, although not the best use case for this technology.

So far, it seems this pyramid scheme has already collected US$439,000 worth of investment. While this is a positive sign for the people who got in early, it also shows just how willingly people trust something which clearly advertises itself as a pyramid scheme. The lack of common sense in the cryptocurrency world is rather disturbing. We can only hope no one gets burned badly by EthPyramid in the coming days and weeks. 

All of this portends a worrisome future for the likes of Ethereum and smart contract technology in general. If people continue to exploit this technology for pyramid schemes and other Ponzis, the technology will eventually lose its appeal in the real world. Being associated with a “transparent pyramid scheme” may not be all that negative, but people will only remember the “pyramid scheme” part and not the “transparency” angle.

For most of Africa, gaining access to the international token marketplace has always been a challenge — higher fees and frustrating delays when trying to buy the next hot token create a less than favourable trading conditions. Concerns around extracting your Tokens back to good old Rands haven’t helped to appease new investors either. This however, is all about to change.

Stellenbosch Company, Waves African Exchange (WAXEX) now provides a simple, direct Rands to Waves Crypto Currency solution. Direct deposits and EFT’s from local banks will give millions of South Africans direct access to the Waves Platform Decentralized Exchange (also known as Dex) through where they can buy, sell and trade Waves as a Crypto Currency.

A fundamentally important aspect of the Waves Decentralized wallet is the ultra-secure function that allows you to transact while keeping your own private keys.

Waves African Exchange only facilitates the purchase and transfers between conventional currencies and the Waves decentralized exchange.

Your funds remain in your private accounts.

The WAXEX gateway will allow users access to the exchange to sell or trade your tokens and cash out in the equivalent Rand value.

Great excitement surrounds the 01 February 2018 launch when WAXEX tokens can be purchased directly on the Waves Decentralized Exchange (DEX)during the pre-launch sale. The primary sale starts on 1 March 2018 and terminates on 31 March 2018

Discrete private sales can be facilitated during the pre-sale period in the form of direct bank deposits or purchases with other cryptocurrencies. To inquire about private sales, please contact [email protected]

Bitto is an upcoming ICO that has been in the dark until very recently. Finding this gem has opened up a whole lot of possibilities to its potential. Binance has went up over 100x since its ICO days and Kucoin while just recently bringing its exchange up has also gone up 25x on their original ICO price. This is a show of proof of how Exchange ICO’s which are lucrative by nature is still very much in demand. So how will Bitto improve on the existing behemoths that has made so much for their initial investors?

By providing a one stop solution in the form of Lending, Staking, Trading and Signal Trading. One aspect that stands to solve a real issue is the Bitto Lending Platform. How does Lending work?. For Miners, and Hodlers there has always been an issue of having liquidity to fund their everyday lifestyle field by cryptocurrency. This can now be solved with using Bitto Exchange. While Lenders get to earn interest rates, Hodlers of cryptocurrency will always benefit more by keeping their cryptocurrency against fiat local currency.

1. Scenario 1 – Crypto User A keeps his cryptocurrency and takes a loan. 3 Months later Bitto increases from $1 to $20. Crypto User A’s $1000 worth of Bitto coins is now worth $20,000. All this while paying a loan of up to 18% P.A for a loan of $700.
2. Scenario 2 – Crypto User B Sells his cryptocurrency when it reaches $2, because he needed money, he sold all his Bitto Tokens. He had a total of $2,000 in cash. But 3 months later, that $2,000 did not grow in value, in fact because of inflation, his $2,000 has depreciated in value.

Bitto platform also provides a secure method that is simple and safe for both lenders and borrower. Borrowers get point systems that rewards them for paying on time. Lenders will be secured by the cryptocurrency backed loan of the borrower. So in the event the Borrower is not able to pay back, Borrowers cryptocurrency will be compensated to the lender to cover the lenders capital. Lenders are also required to buy Bitto tokens as an entry point to Bitto lending facility. So, If bitto tokens are $1, and they bought $1000 worth of bitto tokens, Lender will be able to lend up to $1000. But if Bitto tokens increases to $21, Lender will be able to then lend up to $21,000. This works really well to provide appreciation value to Bitto Tokens. Find out more about Bitto here at www.bitto.tech or join their telegram at t.me/bittoexchange.

DALLAS, TX – In 14 days (Friday February 16th to Saturday 18th), the most respected developers, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and thought leaders in the blockchain industry are coming together to show the “Average Joe” why 2018 is set to be an even bigger year from crypto investors.

Headline speakers include: James Altucher, Tim Draper, Ronnie Moas, Erik Voorhees, Charlie Shrem, Lyn Ulbricht, and more than 50 other major players in this space.

The Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Blockchain Super Conference is the brain child of Richard Jacobs, author of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Blockchain. Over the last few years, through producing his podcast, he has built personal connections with almost all of the main players behind the blockchain revolution, as well as several venture capitalists and institutional investors who are putting serious money behind emerging technologies that most people don’t even know exists. He’s bringing them all together for three days at Dallas, Texas, so they can brief normal folks on where the smart money is in 2018.

“Now that the price of Bitcoin has dropped back below $10,000, the lay person is worried that the Bitcoin revolution is running out of steam”, says Mr. Jacobs.

“Nothing could be further from the truth! In fact, if you look beyond Bitcoin and look at some of the other cryptocurrencies, like Ripple and Dash, we’ve seen gains of 21,768% and 5,138% over the last year – and twelve months ago, even most crypto enthusiasts had never heard of these currencies!”

“At the Super Conference, we’re going to talk in depth about at least a dozen new cryptos and blockchain techs that are poised to see similar growth this year!”

Tickets to the “main” Super Conference have completely sold out. However, Richard Jacobs, the organizer, has secured a second venue and is deploying a “soft fork” for around 300 new ticketholders.

This is what “Soft Fork” attendees will get:

• Live stream of the main conference – The second venue will be hooked up with state-of-the-art AV equipment, so attendees can take part in all of the keynote and other “main conference” talks while being able to interact with the speakers and ask questions.
• Exclusive live (i.e. in-person) talks – Some of the keynote speakers have agreed to being shuttled across to the second venue, so that they can deliver a second exclusive talk to the “Soft Fork” attendees. Additionally, there will be some speakers who are only speaking at the second “Soft Fork” venue. (Details on this will be announced shortly – so subscribe to the Super Conference notification list.)
• Complimentary audio and video recordings ($297 value) – “Soft Fork” attendees will receive a complimentary DVD/CD boxset after the event containing full audio and video recordings of every talk at both events, as well as the optional beginners educational track. (This special gift is reserved for “Soft Fork” ticket holders only. Regular tickets holders will need to pay for these recordings.)
• More surprises (details to be announced) – Mr. Jacobs is putting together a few surprise bonuses for everyone who registers as a “Soft Fork” attendee.

IMPORTANT:

If you want to be a part of this Super Conference too, then it is recommended that you get your ticket ASAP. Because, at the time of writing, less than 100 tickets were still available.

Here’s where you need to go to secure your spot:

GIBRALTAR, February 03, 2018 — Winding Tree, the blockchain-based travel distribution platform, announces today a strategic partnership with both Zeppelin_OS and RSK, two technological leaders in the blockchain world. Both of these partnerships will help Winding Tree stay at the forefront of scalability, security, and privacy in the blockchain sphere ensuring that future solutions or improvements will be backwards compatible with the Winding Tree platform.  Winding Tree removes third party intermediaries, in order to bring innovation back into the travel industry, while at the same time significantly reducing costs for consumers. Winding Tree has already announced partnerships with top travel related names such as the Lufthansa Group, Air New Zealand, Nordic Choice Hotels, and Aruba’s ATECH Foundation to bring blockchain technology to travel.

Zeppelin_OS is an open framework of reusable and smart contacts that helps reduce the risk of vulnerabilities in blockchain applications by using standard, tested and community-reviewed code. Zeppelin has recently announced Zeppelin OS, a set of smart contracts maintained and governed by a community where everything will be on chain: upgradeable contracts, a governance platform, scaling solutions and more. With Winding Tree already having such features planned for its platform, the partnership will allow for collaborative resources to be spent on the development of the open-source smart contracts.

RSK is the first open-source smart contract platform powered by the Bitcoin network, with a goal of adding value and functionality to the Bitcoin ecosystem. Winding Tree’s platform will be the first Ethereum token usable across both the Ethereum and Bitcoin network thanks to the RSK partnership. RSK has some very promising scalability solutions for the bitcoin blockchain, the RSK network can already process 100 txs per second, five times more than the current ethereum network. Winding Tree will also be releasing its demo app on top of the RSK network.

These partnerships will further Winding Tree’s goals of decentralizing the travel industry, which is currently dominated by two main companies, Priceline and Expedia. Because they have such a strong hold in the travel market, the prices are controlled in their favor. High distribution fees force airlines and hotels to charge potential customers higher fees. The dominance and interference of these intermediaries is stifling not only the expansion of travel innovation startups, but also is hindering the ability of consumers to find fair and affordable travel deals.  Winding Tree’s blockchain-based travel platform makes travel more accessible and cheaper to the traveler and the travel provider, removing any high fees these third parties impose.

Winding Tree has dedicated itself to the reorganization of travel distribution. The platform offers a decentralized B2B marketplace system that drives blockchain-based travel booking transactions. In the future, airlines, hotels and other travel service providers will offer their services on Winding Tree’s platform to give direct access to potential travellers without the inefficiencies caused by many intermediaries.

“We are thrilled to announce our newest partnerships with Zeppelin_OS and RSK, as they will further our goals of staying at for the forefront of technological innovation on the blockchain.” said Maksim Izmaylov, Founder and CEO of Winding Tree, “Winding Tree has dedicated itself to decentralizing the travel industry, and these partnerships are strategic in ensuring that goal.”
