Melbourne fintech company Nauticus has announced its Initial Coin Offering (ICO) will launch on March 31, the first stage of the company’s bold vision for six ethical global banking and eCommerce solutions utilizing blockchain technology.

Pre-registration is now open, with early supporters rewarded with 100 free coins.

Unlike most new cryptocurrencies, ICO backers will be able to use and trade their Nauticus Coins immediately on the Nauticus cryptocurrency and fiat exchange. Nauticus Coin users will be given a 50 percent discount on trading fees on the exchange, which will drive the adoption, use and price of the coin.

The exchange and payments platform is in development and due to launch mid-2018. It will initially offer 100 crypto and six fiat currencies (USD, EUR, JPY, HKD, AUD and ZAR) but within 12 months the exchange will offer 300 cryptocurrencies, putting it alongside the top ten exchanges internationally. Nauticus will also expand to offer trading with 16 fiat currencies.

Around $30 billion USD worth of cryptocurrencies are traded each day. This figure will only grow into the future and yet there are only 170 active cryptocurrency exchange platforms taking advantage of this explosive growth worldwide.

Nauticus will also establish a sustainable, large-scale blockchain mining center in 2019 that will provide revenue, and a sizeable amount of server capacity, to ensure ultra-fast processing for all users of Nauticus services. The center will use renewable energy.

Profits will be reinvested in the business to support the development of a low-cost eCommerce marketplace, along with merchant and peer-to-peer payments. These new platforms will be underpinned by the Nauticus Coin, Exchange, Mobile App and Wallet.

The company will also offer ‘one and done’ Know Your Customer (KYC) verification and create an ICO community, which will provide resources and services for new ICOs as well as a quality verification system. For more details please refer to the white paper on the website.

Nauticus has just launched pre-registration for its Initial Coin Offering.

The presale begins on March 18 and the ICO itself runs from March 31 to May 18, 2018.

ICO backers who register on the website now will be rewarded with 100 FREE COINS. There are many more free coins on offer through our referrals program.

The Nauticus Coin will underpin six global banking and eCommerce solutions and can be traded on the Nauticus Exchange at the end of the ICO period.

Early supporters of the Nauticus ICO will be provided a BONUS OF UP TO 30 PERCENT FREE COINS.

The Pumped MulTra Token Monetizes Content Creation and Consumption

What if you were paid to read and share this article? “Pumped” is about to make that a reality.

Music and movie streaming services have managed to develop commercially viable subscription-based models. News publishers, however, have not replicated their success. This is because they have been unable to convince consumers that good quality content deserves a fair remuneration.

While consumers agree that a publisher’s investigative, editorial and reporting efforts have monetary costs and value, studies show that most consumers remain unwilling to pay for content with their hard-earned money. This leaves publishers with two tactics to generate revenue for online content: paywalls and advertising. Both these approaches are frustrating and annoying for consumers. Publishers have long been eager to find a sustainable monetization model for high-quality news content.

MulTra GmbH, a German company based in Frankfurt, has been working on a blockchain powered ecosystem called Pumped which aims to solve the problem of content distribution and monetization for content publishers. Its unique technology has finally opened the way for content publishers and consumers to seamlessly monetize content creation and even consumption.

How Pumped Enables Content Monetization Using Blockchain Technology

A news story’s “worth” is determined by the amount of attention it receives from consumers. Therefore, its value is directly linked to the consumption of its content by consumers.

MulTra GmbH has designed a new economy for content monetization through the Pumped ecosystem which rewards content publishers and consumers with MulTra Tokens (MTT). In this ecosystem, consumers are rewarded for consuming news content while publishers are rewarded for the consumption of their content. All this takes place through the blockchain-powered Pumped App, which has been under development for the last 18 months. So how exactly do you reward both content creators and consumers? Read on…

Publishers run monetization campaigns on the Pumped App with the purchase and deposit of MTT.  These deposited MTT are awarded to consumers each time they perform the desired consumer behavior – such as reading, sharing, or engaging with an article – since such interaction is what increases the value of the content. The publisher sets the criteria for the desired action and the corresponding token award for each action.  

Consumers can use the earned MTT in many ways. MTT can be used to subscribe to the subscription-based services of any number of Pumped content publishers or towards any number of products on the Pumped Rewards Platform. Consumers can also choose to hold their MTT and trade them on exchanges for the equivalent fiat currency value. The value of the MTT will be maintained and constantly increased as publishers, advertisers and consumers continue to inject, engage, earn, redeem and deplete the MTT within the Pumped ecosystem.  

Pumped creates a revolutionary new content economy

Studies show that consumers are much more willing to pay for content when paying with rewards. This is because consumers are psychologically more willing to spend what they have been “rewarded” instead of what they have “earned”. When consumers deplete their MTT for paid-content, publishers earn MTT in return and can choose to then either re-invest them in the Pumped ecosystem or trade them in for fiat revenue. This multilayered process enables monetization for publishers without forcing consumers to pay for it.

The unique technology of Pumped sends traffic to the publishers’ own distribution platforms without forcing them to comply with the proprietary format restrictions, as is common on most social media platforms. By targeting the right audiences with an interest in their content, Pumped nudges consumers into an appreciation of high-quality news and effectively triggers their willingness to pay for content while creating new content consumption habits.

Pumped solves the misalignment in the content-access value-exchange by using the Nudge Theory by Richard Thaler, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work. It disrupts the traditional business processes for content monetization.  By “achieving something useful for the society”, Pumped also empowers the vision of the Ethereum blockchain founder Vitalik Buterin. Pumped is respectful of consumer choice, sustainable for publishers and built to scale rapidly.

An Ethereum Media Alliance is already being formed that shares mutual common purpose and quality standards to interact with premium online content from trustworthy sources. This community of publishers and consumers will find a home at the Pumped Residence for in-person exchanges, meetups and intensive workshops to align consumers behind the success of publishers.

Unique aspects of the Pumped MulTra Token ITO

An Initial Token Offering issuing the MulTra Token (MTT) will start 19th February 2018 at 15:00 CET. Funds raised in the Pumped ITO will essentially cover the costs of creating, developing, and operating the worldwide infrastructure of the Pumped Economy. The MulTra Token (MTT) will be listed and tradable on major exchanges in Q2 2018. Some unique aspects of the Pumped ITO are as follows:

MVP is Already Built

 

While many ICOs have future product development plans that rely on the success of their fundraising, MulTra GmbH has already developed a unique technology-based Pumped MVP.

Immediate distribution of MulTra Token (MTT)

 

Usually, companies that launch an ICO raise investments to pay for machines which execute the requested token mining operations. That process leads to delayed token delivery of up to 10 weeks after investors have purchased the cryptocurrency.

MulTra GmbH has already generated all the MulTra Token (MTT) in accordance with the ERC20 Standard on the Ethereum Blockchain in November 2017. For this reason, participants in the Pumped ITO receive their MulTra Token (MTT) immediately.

Preventive compliance with capital market law

 

Although financial regulation is not applicable to the Pumped ITO, MulTra GmbH and its legal advisors have already submitted the relevant documents to the regulatory authorities. MulTra GmbH has even published a Token Offering Document additional to their Pumped whitepaper. This approach keeps the Pumped ITO ahead of the curve when regulations come into force.

ICO made in Germany by a disruptive company

 

Led by CEO Onik Mia and an excellent team of some of the highest-profile German professors, lawyers, CEOs and media consultants Pumped has been developed by MulTra GmbH based in Frankfurt, Germany. MulTra GmbH provides innovative and disruptive solutions to clients that include Samsung, Deutsche Bank, BMW, Lenovo, Huawei, Sky, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, and many more. MulTra GmbH is not new to creating disruptive business models; that’s what it does!

You can join the Pumped ITO before it gets listed on exchanges, benefiting from its increase in value as it completes each milestone outlined in the Pumped whitepaper. Secure your profits and be part of the new content economy!

Serenity ICO reaches Soft Cap, raising $2 million

Serenity token sale raised US$2 million 2.5 weeks after the ICO started. It is the amount required to launch the project.

According to the project’s White Paper, the first project stage includes the development of:

— Settlement system: ensuring security of funds via smart contracts.

— Arbitration system: integration of arbitration services (Verify My Trade).

Denis Kulagin, Serenity CEO:

“We are proud to announce that we’ve hit the soft cap. This means that, beginning today, we start hiring new personnel to develop the project and at the same time continue the development we have been already doing with double the effort. It all couldn’t be possible without your support.

The next step for us would be to hit the $5M mark, which would allow us to develop our own exchange and KYC system. Thank you for all your support! We’re doing our best to meet your expectations. Stay tuned for our news, we have a lot of great things coming.”

About Serenity

The project is a platform that includes several functional modules: escrow, blockchain transaction recording, quote verification and a trading exchange.

The idea is based on the practice of segregated accounts, that is, keeping deposits separate from the funds used for trading, which is required by the FCA (the British financial regulator), and is translated into the language of the blockchain. The idea of ​​recording transactions in the blockchain has also emerged under the influence of traditional regulations, such as financial legislation in the EU (MiFID II and EMIR). These regulations have always demanded reports on all trade operations, but have had no way of storing them efficiently and reliably.

In addition, the project’s scope will include the creation of a proprietary trading exchange for quick entry into the Serenity system and cryptocurrency purchases.

The company plans to raise $19 million to develop the platform. The project will be launched in separate stages, with the exchange’s launch being promised for May 2018. The prototype has already been published on the website.

Serenity ICO started on the 25th of January and will last until the 7th of March 2018.

If you have any questions about the project, contact Serenity Support Team via the website LiveChat and the Telegram channel.

ALTAIR VR Predicts $535 Million in Revenue over 3 Years

The Altair VR virtual encyclopedia is the first global project aimed at creating a platform for learning about the world through virtual reality. In this way, the project team intends to completely reimagine the approach to education and acquiring knowledge.

A broad assortment of experts is expected to take part in the project, from professional animation studios to ordinary Internet users.

The VR Platform’s Future

Considering the predicted growth rates in the number of active users of products in the virtual reality space, as well as the expected 30-fold revenue growth in this domain, the potential for development for a virtual encyclopedia platform could be huge.

The platform is currently being developed, but we can already estimate the economic outcomes that could be reached in a few years. In 2018 the project team plans to occupy 5% of the VR market, and 12% by 2020. And that’s with taking into account the constantly growing number of companies coming into the virtual reality space every year.

These aren’t empty words. The Amazing Cinema app has already been launched, and it has frequently been ranked among the top apps on the global Oculus Gear VR Store. Furthermore, the number of downloads shows that in 2017 the app was downloaded to 5% of all the devices in the world.

Simple Economics

These trends only further convinced the project team of the need to develop further, which is why 88 million dollars will be spent on a marketing campaign over the next three years.

The basic parameters entered in the economic model are shown below:

According to Altair VR‘s calculations, by the end of 2020 the company’s revenue will reach 535 million dollars. A more detailed breakdown is shown below:

What’s Next?

The platform already has several major studio partners for content creation, who work in the planetarium market. They will be the ones generating the initial high-quality content for Altair VR. Subsequently, freelancers from across the world will be brought in to work on the platform, motivated to post ready-made content to the platform and create new content by the opportunity to monetize it through tokens.

In addition to direct invitation of users to the platform, strategic partnerships will be developed for the purpose of engaging large user groups. A series of presentations are planned at subject-specific conferences throughout the world.

In addition, a club will be set up for active platform participants, who will have an incentive to write articles about the platform, talk about it on social media, advertise it, and bring in users through other means, because they will receive rewards in ALT tokens for doing so.

“The project has already piqued the public’s interest,” comments Konstantin Urvantsev, CEO and founder of the Altair VR project. “Without conducting any global PR campaigns, we have managed to attract over 8000 subscribers across various social media, and more than 3000 participants in the bounty program. After that it spreads through word of mouth. People start to show an active interest in the project’s development and tell their friends about it. As the platform fills up with content, existing users will become more and more engaged, and new ones will keep flowing in.”

Monero’s XMR has been seeing massive gains recently. This is despite a piece of malware that has been concerning the cryptocurrency crowd. XMR tested the $300 resistance level on Thursday after seeing its second consecutive bullish market sentiment.

What is Monero’s XMR?

Monero is an open-source cryptocurrency created in April 2014. It focuses on privacy and decentralization. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and FreeBSD.

Monero’s token, XMR, has enjoyed a steady increase in adoption since its release. Dark web marketplaces including AlphaBay and Oasis have embraced the cryptocurrency, reportedly due to popular demand.

Monero’s Malware Controversy

Monero hit the headlines recently thanks to a piece of malware mining it in secret on Android devices. The malware redirects users to websites that tap into a device’s processing power to mine the Monero cryptocurrency.

For example, U.S. online news publication, Salon has adopted this unconventional alternative to ads to make money. They are using a reader’s computing power to mine Monero.

The way they do is by giving readers that don’t want ads to appear on content an option to “suppress ads.” This allows Salon to use a reader’s unused computing power to mine virtual currency.

XMR Price Action

XMR saw similar types of patterns in terms of gains and pullbacks as other major cryptos in the past month. XMR/USD has pierced through the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of $273. It is testing the $300 level at the time of writing.

The pair remains below the daily Ichimoku cloud. However, the Tenkan line appears to be crossing above the Kiju line, signaling the medium-term bullish momentum to continue.

Monero-XMR-Technical-Analysis
Monero-XMR-Technical-Analysis

On the other hand, the future cloud remains bearish.

Monero is the 13th largest cryptocurrency by market cap. At $4,720,573,463 it trails behind Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Cardano, Stellar, NEO, EOS, IOTA, Dash, and NEM.

Monero’s market operates like that of many other cryptocurrencies. Those interested in investing in the cryptocurrency can purchase it outright through exchanges including Binance, Bitfinex, and Kraken.

According to their website, with Monero, you are “your own bank. Only you control and are responsible for your funds. Your accounts and transactions are kept private from prying eyes.”

Number of Crypto Hedge Funds Skyrocketing – Big Players Are Coming

16Fintech research house Autonomous NEXT has been researching crypto hedge funds — which have more than doubled in number in the four months leading up to today, February 15th. The firm recorded a record high of 226 global hedge funds, up from 110 global hedge funds on October 18th. That itself was up from 55 funds on August 29th and just 37 at the start of 2017. Assets under management hit between $3.5 and $5 billion, according to the Autonomous NEXT.

The surge in funds comes at a somewhat volatile time for cryptocurrencies. After hitting a record high of $20,000 in December, Bitcoin lost nearly 70% of its value — briefly slipping below $6,000 in January. The coin has since recovered some of those falls, sitting at just above $10,000 as of today. (Read our article Hedge Fund Investor: Bitcoin Already Hit Bottom, Ready to Surge to learn more about Bitcoin price predictions for the near-future).

Rival cryptocurrencies have also seen declines. The market cap of all virtual currencies — their price multiplied by the number of coins issued — currently stands at around $465 billion, according to Coinmarketcap, down from more than $830 billion in early January.

“While the softer prices of crypto assets does create a more difficult environment for investors, I do not think it will pause the influx of funds and other financial institutions building products in the space,” Autonomous NEXT partner Lex Sokolin said. “It would take the extreme case of the entire space contracting by 80% and high regulation before the flow of funds turns around.”

Some invest in just Bitcoin, taking both long and short positions, some buy several different cryptocurrencies, and others exploit the arbitrage between different exchanges’ prices. These different approaches mean that some players are, despite the markets, making a profit. Token Capital’s $500 million EKT Active Fund, which invests in initial coin offerings (ICOs) made 6.5% in January, a spokesman for the company said.

BitSpread, a Cayman-registered hedge fund, returned around 4.8%. BitSpread, with more than $100 million under management, makes money by market-making and exploiting arbitrage across different exchanges rather than going long or short. The company’s founder Cedric Jeanson said the fund’s market-neutral strategy meant it could make money even if the price of Bitcoin and its rivals collapsed. Since its launch in May 2017, the company has turned profits every month.

Book your flight to Dallas! Because the Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Blockchain Super Conference Kicks Off THIS Friday…

DALLAS, TX – This Friday, James Altucher, Tim Draper, John McAfee, Erik Voorhees, Charlie Shrem, and more than fifty of the most respected blockchain developers, entrepreneurs, and venture capitalists are coming together at Dallas to lift the lid on dozens of “secret projects” – and show the “Average Joe” investor how he can ride the next wave of the blockchain revolution in 2018.

DALLAS, TX – This Friday, James Altucher, Tim Draper, John McAfee, Erik Voorhees, Charlie Shrem, and more than fifty of the most respected blockchain developers, entrepreneurs, and venture capitalists are coming together at Dallas to lift the lid on dozens of “secret projects” – and show the “Average Joe” investor how he can ride the next wave of the blockchain revolution in 2018.

The Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Blockchain Super Conference is the brainchild of Richard Jacobs, author of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Blockchain Super Conference, publisher of the Future Tech Podcast and former manager of the official Bitcoin.com podcast.

“2017 was a crazy year for Bitcoin. If you’d have invested $1,000 in January, by New Year’s Eve you’d have more than $1.3 million of free-and-clear wealth.”, says Mr. Jacobs. “However, what most folks don’t realize is that there are 13 cryptocurrencies that did even better than Bitcoin in 2017. And, as you’re going to see at the Super Conference, there are new emerging cryptocurrencies and blockchain assets that are poised to experience similar growth in 2018. Now is the time to get in!”

Tickets to the “main” Super Conference have completely sold out. However, Mr. Jacobs 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 be 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:

At last count, there were less than a few dozen “soft-fork” tickets still available. If you would like to come along to the Super Conference, it is highly recommended that you reserve your spot right now.

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

According to a report published Wednesday, February 14th by Cisco’s Talos Intelligence Group, a team of Ukrainian hackers dubbed CoinHoarder has stolen more than $50 million in cryptocurrency from users who were under the impression they were accessing Blockchain.info, one of the most popular providers of virtual currency wallets.

The report details how thieves preyed on their victims using a simple technique: Buying Google ads on popular search keywords related to cryptocurrency “to poison user search results” and snatch the contents of crypto wallets. This meant people Googling terms like “blockchain” or “Bitcoin wallet,” saw links to malicious websites masquerading as legitimate domains for Blockchain.info wallets. Fooled into believing they had come to the right place, victims then entered private information that allowed the hackers to gain access to their actual wallets and take their virtual currency.

The poison ads included “spoofed” links with small mistypes like “blokchien.info/wallet” and “block-clain.info,” which sent visitors to pages that mirrored actual websites of the company Blockchain, which runs both the domains Blockchain.info and Blockchain.com. According to Cisco’s report, the legitimate sites appeared lower in the results than the “poisoned” links.

“The attackers needed only to continue purchasing Google AdWords to ensure a steady stream of victims,” the Talos team — led by Jeremiah O’Connor and Dave Maynor — said in their report. Cisco, which investigated the “massive phishing campaign” for more than six months in partnership with Ukraine’s Cyberpolice, noted that the Coinhoarder group’s method has since “become increasingly common in the wild, with attackers targeting many different crypto wallets and exchanges.”

The Coinhoarder thefts occurred over the course of three years but surged at the end of 2017 as Bitcoin prices soared close to $20,000, with $10 million stolen between September and December. In one run, the hackers made off with $2 million in the span of fewer than four weeks, the Talos researchers said. Further, it’s very likely the value of the steals total much more than $50 million now, as Talos based its calculations on cryptocurrency prices at the time of the theft.

Cisco found that the Coinhoarder scam disproportionately ensnared those from underbanked regions where cryptocurrency has caught on as an alternative means of storing wealth: Residents of African countries such as Nigeria and Ghana made up the majority of those who landed on the malignant websites.
