Waltonchain adds GNU General Public License details to code - BUT does the code contain this?

Dear Crypto community,Yesterday we saw Waltonchain release their Open Source code which resulted in huge criticism regarding the oversight of removing the original copyright to the original codebase, Ethereum Go, on which it is based.Following this, the team have now updated the code to show the original copyright:Image from GithubSource: http://bit.ly/2W625eO https://github.com/WaltonChain?tab=repositories​I'd like to say thank you to the community for having such strong opinion on this matter, and for all the subreddit admins that assisted in creating clarity toward this. As a global community we should hold every blockchain up to the same standards, and I am grateful that this was shown in regard to the GNU General Public License.​Now that the issue is resolved, and since Waltonchain is currently a hot topic, I implore all the coders and devs out there to delve deep into the code to see exactly what Waltonchain have released. Not just the modification to the eth codebase, but the additional code. What does the code allow?​What we've been told as a community is that the Waltonchain source code has changes that allows for:Security - DASH X11 - Most cryptographic algorithms used in cryptocurrencies use only one hash function for calculation. There are 11 of them in X11, which provides a higher degree of protection against hackers and scams. Waltonchain has customised the DASH X11 hashing algorithm to fit their purpose.More secure than Bitcoin. The Bitcoin algorithm is SHA-256 is based on a previous secure hash algorithm family of standards, namely SHA-2, the hash functions within the X11 algorithm all successfully made it into the second-round in search for a new, more secure standard — SHA-3. Keccak, the function which won the competition and is therefore the new standard on which SHA-3 is based on, can at the very least be considered more secure that SHA-256.Efficiency — Waltonchain have produced ASICs with the equivalent hashing power of 200GPUs (32–40kW) whilst using only 135W, thus helping the parent chain become decentralisedPoS aspect works in tandem with PoW, in that it adds a reduced difficulty based on number of coins held and time between blocks. Effectively the longer coins are held and the longer the time between blocks, the lower the difficulty for mining blocks. This again enhances the power efficiency of the network in its entirety.Fast cross-chain searching via Proof of Labour —PoL enables hash values or indices from sub-chains (child chains) to be synced with the parent chain in a ‘cross chain index mechanism’ to enable fast searches for data via the parent chain. Scalibility — Unlimited scalibility due to child chains; each CC is an independent blockchain (or DAG) using its own consensus mechanism (PoS, PoA, PoW, PoeT, etc) and can store data within itself. The parent chain by nature therefore cannot become bloated.Atomic Swaps — PoL by nature ensures a record of every inter-chain transaction is held, and allows the function of atomic swaps between currencies.​Also to note is that the code has been audited by Knownsec, the same company that audited projects like HPB and NANO.​Lets have an open dialogue and talk about these features of the code - but firstly, do they exist? Hopefully people will approach this with the same enthusiasm as they did yesterday.​For reference:Block explorer: www.Waltonchain.pro (all wallets, mining wallet, documentation etc is available via that link)

Manipulation is NOT always to blame for swings. Sometimes it's simply lack of liquidity.

Price manipulation happens. It happens a lot in alt coins for pump and dumps. I take issue with people calling every big move "manipulation". Sometimes it is just a large buyer/seller making a transaction on an exchange.​I would like to think that most whales are smart and use OTC for their translations, but if that's not the case and one was to sell on Coinbase a couple thousand btc would "crash" the market. We have such little liquidity right now it's possible a a few million dollars can move the entire market 5+%.

I lost everything.

I messed up really badly. More so than I ever had in my life. I lost all my crypto and fiat funds, and have no one to blame but myself. Throughout the entire bear market of 2018, I’ve been collecting as much BTC and ETH as I could. I fully believed in the tech, as well as the opportunity for financial freedom that was presented in front of me. I used the money from part time jobs (while studying at university full time) and a large portion of my student loans to buy crypto every month. Even as the bear market diminished the value of my portfolio, I kept on buying knowing that it would potentially pay off one day. I was in my last year of university and my thinking was that crypto at the very least could help me pay off my student loans. And for the past couple of months, everything seemed to be going according to plan. Crypto was booming literally just in time for my graduation.That’s when I discovered Bitmex.In one month, Bitmex managed to ruin my life. I started off with a small deposit of 0.01 BTC, and I managed to flip that in to 0.2 BTC within a week. I was euphoric. Then as quickly as I made it, I lost it all to one swift move by the market. So I made a new account thinking that I knew what I was doing this time around and deposited a slightly larger amount. Liquidated. I deposited again. Liquidated. It got to the point where my bank account had no money left to fund my Bitmex account and that’s where I made my biggest mistake. I decided to “borrow” funds from my BTC and ETH cold storage to try to recuperate everything I’ve lost so far on Bitmex. And as I now know, revenge trading never works. Today marked the end of my crypto career, all my alts were liquidated when BTC broke 9k and pretty much dumped right after.I have now no more funds left to deposit and have lost all my crypto. Everything that I’ve been collecting during the bear market, just to have it taken away right before the bull market. I’ve lost a total of 1BTC worth of crypto, which may not seem like that much to some of you, but that was literally everything that I had. I have nothing left now. I can’t find someone to hire me with my god-damn useless degree. I have no way of paying off my student loans. I feel stuck. I feel scared. I feel angry that I screwed myself this hard. I’m absolutely freaking out right now as I’m typing this and I’m having thoughts of killing myself… because I really don’t think I can recover from this. I don’t know what to do.If there’s anything that anyone can take away from this, it’s to not mess around with margin trading and leverage unless you really know what you’re doing. It’ll be the death of you. Literally.http://bit.ly/2EJVgto

DO NOT USE EXODUS WALLET!

Edit: Can’t change the title but short story is the wallet told me I had $700, but I didn’t all my money was I guess sent to the same wallet over and over which I didn’t do, and then was evaporated from fees. Exodus told me the funds that should have been in my wallet but weren’t.I have used exodus wallet for probably about a year. I deposited $500 into it a few months ago and used to deposit little amounts of BTC from mining. Just the other day I had all my funds in BTC which had added up to just above $700 and I was making a trade in the wallet to convert them all into TUSD. I pressed the trade button but it said there was an error and it said to reload the wallet and try again or contact support. I reloaded the wallet and tried once more and it had the same error. I then check my wallets funds and I have 3 dollars now in my account. So I contact them telling them the situation and they got back to me saying that I somehow I sent funds to my same wallet over and over depleting my funds. I said no that is wrong I never did that and how is that even possible. They proceeded to send me a link to the blockchain showing my wallet “sending funds to itself” apparently, which btw said it transferred $0.00 from SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR, which would not have effected anything since I even have a picture of the error and the $700 in my account from 2 days ago which I email them. They now have not responded after I have that evidence of my $700 being taken.Even if my funds weren’t taken I would recommend not using exodus because I looked at the fee if the funds were converted from BTC to TUSD the FEE WOULD HAVE BEEN $80!!!!This is ridiculous behavior from a company like this. If anyone has similar experiences leave a comment.

It's no wonder that they hid the code for so long. I compared several files side by side. Walton is unequivocally a copy and paste of the Go version of Ethereum WITH THE ORIGINAL CREATORS REMOVED.That last part is what makes it fraudulent as hell. If there was any question whether they are disingenuous before, this should cement their place in the fraudsters hall of fame.Example:Original Ethereum:http://bit.ly/2VXFMIg Copy with reference to Ethereum removed:http://bit.ly/30SRLui specific ways in which they renamed everything(and removed copyrights) offers no technical advantages or return. It is clearly an attempt to make it look less like a copy/clone and violates the open source licenses under which Go-Ethereum was originally released. This is amateurish, misleading and amounts to nothing less than plagiarism.

Is mining 0.0015 btc a day enought if u have nowhere to buy BTC?

A little background story. I come from North Macedonia, the only country in the world where BTC is banned. Not directly, but in my country transacting with any other currency except denars is against the law. I can't trade on any exchange with KYC, credit and debit cards are banned from buying BTC on sites like crypto pay and the rest. So my only hope of acquiring BTC is with p2p btc transfer (where there are enormous fees) or with mining. The second problem in my country is that the wages are very low. I mean, our prime minister is attracting investors and big companies to build factories by saying our work force is cheaper than China's. Imagine working as a Dentist, like me, in my own dental office, and earning about 500$ a month. Like tooth extraction is like 3 bucks, and filling like 5 bucks at most.So i started buying gpus, one by one with every cent i can spare. At least the power is cheap, around 7.5 cents per KW. I mine ETH via Nicehash and convert it to BTC. I get around 13 bucks a day without power, or 1.5mbtc a day.My question is, should i try to invest more into my mining operation, or do you think the mining would be worthless in a year, or even a couple of months.I have nowhere to buy btc at a decent price. I dont like to live here, and i think BTC is my ticket to get out of here. Do you have any suggestions? I can risk some of the btc i have, to buy another rig or two, but then ill be left without any btc in my pocket and a whole lot of gpus.

The source code is already public and can be downloaded at GitHub: http://bit.ly/2KelE28. Previously, to ensure the safety of the mainnet, Waltonchain team invited community members to participate in mainnet testing. It also invited the third-party auditing firm Knownsec to audit the safety of the parent chain. Users can download and use the code safely. Waltonchain team is now coordinating the token swap with exchange platforms. For the specific token swap plan and timeline, please stay tuned for Waltonchain’s official announcement.In addition, the PoW + MN reward program on the Fully Operational Waltonchain Mainnet has been changed.PoW + MN Reward ProgramThe total PoW + MN reward pool is 25,000,000 WTC.

Iotas Shimmer consensus should be of great interests to every POS and DPOS cryptocurrency.

The logic behind Shimmer is pretty simple. It pretty much functions similar to every POS & DPOS however it adds additional security beyond whoever holds the largest stake is the correct path for the chain.DPOS and POS all rely on the assumption that no one would want to misuse their own funds. However this overlooks the large sums that are held on exchanges which experience hacks regularly. This creates the potential for competing projects or actors to assimate a project. Killing a strong rival is sometimes worth the sacrifice of essentially free money received from a hack.Shimmer nullifies this attack mechanism. To explain it in simple terms, it prevents large stake holders from performing double spend attacks on the basis that there is no reason or incentive for an honest stake holder to confirm two conflicting txs. By doing so that stake holders voting becomes invalid.This mechanism also drastically increases throughput and decreases latency.Even nano could benefit by evaluating Shimmer as the Binance rep, if you like to admit it or not, is a huge looming threat that could be nullified.Shimmer is undoubtedly something good for Iota, but the IF has honestly imo provided the entire cryptocurrency community the tools to move to the next level together.

WOW !! Elastos successfully suspended my medium account !

Yesterday i posted a thread on reddit linking to my medium article revealing how elastos team plans to conduct another round of ICO/IEO in the disguise of raising funds for a side project named "Manhattan Project" . Basically the sh!tco1n team ran out of funds and wanted to raise additional 1.6+ million USD to fund their business from gullible investors. Of course they wouldn't admit it's another ICO .The reddit post got around 25 + Upvotes and was featured on mainpage before it was shared on elastos eco chamber [telegram group] and they all flocked here to downvote it​Guess what ? my medium account that i linked to is now suspended !​http://bit.ly/30PtTYv assume Elastos is partnered with medium , so medium staff fast tracked the complaint by elastos team and suspended my whole account within 5 hours of publication of my article.Note that their reason for suspension of my account is "Harassment & inflammatory business Review" .. Elastos was kicked out of binance for cheating [vote pumping] on their monthly poll back in 2018 .. ELA token price plummeted from $90 to $1.8 and most of investors lost 90% of their capital .. Elastos is being sued by Chinese investors and US investors for management fraud .Medium staff is a bunch of rookies or they are colluding with scammers to suppress information from public. Whatever happened to Free Speech these days ?. Censorship is abundant online. Ironically elastos in it's whitepaper states it intends to build a "modern internet to counter censorship and piracy " LAMO Now they are the ones censoring free speech.Do your own research guys or if you are lazy just buy BTC only . I have done my part​Thankfully i had back up of some of my writings and i have uploaded it to blogger by google,hopefully it stays there for posterity's sake

EOS is not a blockchain and operates as a scam since its inception

Was inspired this evening to look into EOS again and gather some links to back up earlier claimsEOS does not constitute anything close to a blockchain, the txps claimed is not replicable in a real world environment (even as a centralised distributed database system it can not do more than 250txps), there is nothing to stop bp's colluding in bad faith to censor the blockchain, the network comprises of fake users and fake transactions, corruption in the markets associated with EOS is rife from the RAM market right back to the crowd sale where funds were laundered back and forth to make it appear like there was interest aka money laundering, information asymmetry conveniently means that none of the claims regarding computational power being fairly priced and distributed is easily verifiableFrom the way the architecture works to the fact that there is no Byzantine fault tolerance and relies on social consensus between crooks to operate to all of the 'critical vulnerabilities being found-EOS IS MALWARE-We owe it to ourselves as a community to point this out and try to ensure that this cancer and abhorrent community does not spread any further - trade it make money off it by all means (though my preference is not to) just treat with extreme prejudice anyone that is sticking up for this platformPeople behind EOS are the same people behind other scams and dodgy exchanges which I won't divulge here but you can put the pieces together yourself and go down the rabbit hole of all the kidnappings, insolvent exchanges etc-EOS test report by Whiteblock; http://bit.ly/2XjTM0B producer collusion transcript; http://bit.ly/2EG4NSr trading during the crowd sale; http://bit.ly/2XdBf5J [to this day B1 has failed to produce an audit to refute this]Money laundering trifecta; http://bit.ly/2EFHLLz another Larimer scam; http://bit.ly/2Xbnc0P Pierce; http://bit.ly/2EFHMPD this in the context of what is known about the RAM market; http://bit.ly/2XjTN4F there is much more besides this, feel free to share anything you wish below and be careful of interacting with their thuggish supporters, they will try and track down where you are from, where you live etc and threaten to follow you across Reddit posting nefarious things below the comments you make

How I got Illegally liquidated by Bitmex, and why you should never trade there.

Hello,I am a breakout trader who frequently uses high leverage to trade. I have never encountered this problem before. Around 5:30 AM GMT, I opened a short position with an average entry of 8994 on the XBTM19 contract. My stop loss was 8999. At 7:05 AM GMT, the price was still on a short term down trend and continuing to make new intraday lows. The highest price on the minute candlestick was 8941 and the lowest being 8881. The bitcoin index was also on a downtrend.However, I was liquidated at 7:05 AM GMT with 1.8% slippage, at 9039. Without my stops being hit. While the price wick is not even shown anywhere on any chart (price did not visit there). The price went down, and I was liquidated while being short. Thats like being liquidated going long, when the market is going up.Images of the chart: http://bit.ly/2EFhvkn http://bit.ly/2XdZfWC Response: http://bit.ly/2EEhpcT said that it is my fault I used high leverage, and that their contracts are based on fair market pricing index. Which is based off the index price. I included a chart of the index price at the time, and there is no wick anywhere. Irony is that they say their fair market price index is to prevent liquidations from happening. This is complete thievery and should be illegal.Hello,I am a breakout trader who frequently uses high leverage to trade. I have never encountered this problem before.

Is IOTA's Shimmer a completely new DLT Consensus Mechanism on par with (if not by far superior to) Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake?

What is Shimmer?Shimmer is one of IOTA's Coordicide modules, in my opinion the most interesting one.Simplified explanation: http://bit.ly/2X9pNIh explanation in section 6.2.2 (p.23) of the Coordicide Whitepaper​I urge you to read the formal explanation to fully get the idea. Anyways, since I cannot expect everyone to read it, I will try to describe it in my own words:​Shimmer allows to resolve conflicts (e.g. double spends) through a dynamic self-adjusting voting mechanism. Nodes signal their opinion on which of the conflicting transactions they prefer and readjust their opinion based on their neighbors. They do not only consider their immediate but also more distant / indirect neighbors. This way the entire network quickly tips over into a stable, practically irreversible state that favors exactly one of the conflicting transactions, thus solving conflicts by reaching global consensus without the need of a central synchronized block chain which would limit the throughput.What does this mean for Crypto?​I feel like IOTA just invented a new consensus mechanism for DLT. This is neither PoW nor PoS but something completely different in nature yet simultaneously so simple. It appears to me with their approach, IOTA has just revolutionized DLT. This to me seems to be changing the entire landscape of cryptocurrency and looks at least as revolutionary as both PoW and PoS. I would even go one step further and argue that it is technically superior to both since it does neither waste useless energy (PoW) nor requires any kind of global syncing (PoW: global blockchain, PoS: global consensus on block issuer). Once implemented, this would make IOTA:truly decentralized (no miners, stakes or central block issuer)partition-tolerant (DAG, no central entity)feeless (no miners, no blocks)scalable (no syncing required and no bottleneck like blocks)​I would really really love to hear other people's opinion on this, especially technical arguments. If true, the introduction of this new mechanism would be the biggest technical advancement for crypto as a whole this year. Keep it mind, it is not implemented yet but I think we now have enough technical details to reason about the theory behind it.

Mining is a pain in the ass for beginners. A few helpful tips for newcomers.

As the prices go up, more and more newbies are entering the space and most of them get repelled by mining. After all, this is presented as the most profitable way to get into crypto and a lot of people give up once they realize that it's more like rocket science than a few clicks of a mouse. I know this because I have a few rigs at home and when I bought them I spent at least 10 hours figuring out why Claymore doesn't register every card, what pool I should connect to, what coin to mine etc. If I already didn't spend money on the rigs I would probably give up and this is a big issue for the whole industry. You can't have new supporters coming in if the barrier of entry is very high.If you are new here and want to get into mining, here are a few tips so you don't go through the same thing I did.Figure out what coin is the most profitable to mine with your mining rig. What to mine will help you with that.Check out r/EtherMining/ because it is the best possible source of information if you want to mine ERC-20 tokens. If you do decide to go down this route, here is a very helpful video to get you started. It's a tutorial for setting up Claymore, the most popular miner in the ETH community (didn't do a survey, just a general impression).Think about profitability.Mining difficulty changes by the hour and some coins may be very profitable today and not such a good idea tomorrow. This can make a huge difference in your monthly income. Again, What to mine should be your source of information for this.Mind those feesEvery mining pool has fees. Some of them will also charge you when they transfer the mined coins to your wallet. Based on my own experience, Nanopool and Mining pool hub have fair fees and a decent amount of info regarding mining.Think about using "1-click" solutions.The whole process above can be simplified with Cudo Miner or Nicehash. Both are easy-to-use and the only difference is that Cudo Miner will automatically take care of profitability for you. It will switch between the most profitable coins and convert them into the crypto of your choice. They come with slightly higher fees but in the case of Cudo Miner, the software is micromanaging your rig and that's well worth the fee IMO.Stay away from cloud mining and Miner Gate!I had to mention these two because they are the most popular results on Google when you search for information on crypto mining.Cloud mining is probably the worst thing you can invest in. These platforms go out of their way to maximize their profits. For example, in a bear market, they will charge their maintenance fees in fiat while in bull markets those fees are charged in BTC. You are losing money either way and you also can't be sure if you are actually mining or are you just paying someone to give you fractions of coins you could have bought with the invested amount.Miner gate has a different issue. If you use their software it will report less hashing power than you actually have. No one knows for sure what happens to the missing hashing power but we can only assume that they use it for their own benefit. As a mining pool, they aren't that bad, if you use a third party miner.Don't use untrusted sourcesThis should go without saying but as a final warning, I want to add that there are a lot of fake miners out there. Try to get your download links from official sources only. These can be found on the website of the coin, their bitcointalk threads or here on Reddit. Just be sure to do enough research before you click on that "download" button.For any further questions, please consult the /r/gpumining FAQ

A bullshit dip - could contract to bull dip which would actually be ACCURATE because the price just fucking keeps going up.But it's a bullshit dip because it's not a fucking dip. If it was the price would not be at the level it is now.My guess? A few more bullshit dips and we'll be at fucking $20k before you even realise it.But it begs the question, how can BTC retest its ATH at such a very early stage in this market cycle.Obviously something fucking big is going on. Some guy in our whirlpool forums is asking whether we'll see $20k in this cycle. Well fuck the way things are going we will.Something big is happeningAt first I thought it was bullshit.But the only thing that is bullshit are these dips. Down $2k only to shrug it off and keep ramping up. A few more bullshit $2k or $3k dips and we will retest our ATH.Something big is happening. WTF IS IT?

I asked my Dad if I should sell since the constant price fluctuations make me nervous, and he said, “To be honest, I’m appalled you bought any in the first place.”He went on a tirade about how I “never listen to him” and that I should have bought out a long time ago after he told me about some FUD article he read 2 years ago about how Bitcoin was a massive scam. He said if I want to give him and Mom peace of mind, I should sell now, invest all of the money into a Roth IRA, and never look back.Honestly, it really got to me, and now I feel so fucking embarrassed. I didn’t know he thought I was an idiot for investing into it. I diversify by invested into regular stocks too, but he thinks any investment into crypto is just throwing money away.

How absolutely delusional is everyone not to see how much of a perpetual cash cow this market has grown to be?

How absolutely delusional is everyone not to see how much of a perpetual cash cow this market has grown to be?Under the guise of their so-called expertise, I see users with zero grasp of economics serve these micro-waved talking points without remembering the proper context surrounding them, I see shills touting unknown projects with overly enthusiastic comments, I see supporters confidently detailing their wishful thinking on paper while ignoring any inconvenient detail. It's so hard to sift through the amount of complete bullshit posted on the daily that the last three years have gradually made me change my outlook of the entire market: for the vast majority of retail investors, nothing will come out of this revolution (despite the negatives, it's still very much a revolution) except debt and losses. Our community's claim to fame is sprinkling articles and comments with some guy's misspelling of the world "hold". For all of us who aren't nine years old, it's fucking embarrassing.First, banning price watching and encouraging healthy debates would allow us to cross the first (and largest) chasm: the chasm of information. For example... there is absolutely no reason why Bitcoin will be used in the future. Every argument relies on the Greater Fool theory, and assumes constant growth. Distributed ledger technology is a game changer, so no, first mover advantage, current security level (which can be re-attributed at absolutely any time by simply dedicating more resources to another chain, since this is how PoW functions) and age are not important nor sustainable advantages. At the moment, there is one use case for Bitcoin: selling to someone else for a higher price. Everything else is done better by someone else. You want private, anonymous money? Monero's got you covered. You want to move cash quickly from point A to point B, without minding lower levels of decentralization in exchange for a lack of fees? Use Nano, or Venmo if you don't mind trusting someone else. You want to set up a self-balancing power grid entirely controlled by autonomous machines? Experiment with IOTA. You want a good store of value in case of a societal collapse? Bitcoin won't get you far, I guarantee it. What you'll want is land, livestock, crops, etc. If you believe supply chain tokens are the future, many have scored interesting partnership to develop proof of concepts and, in some cases, live implementations. Most of these projects, even with the right teams, will die. Nothing in guaranteed, but at least they're actually trying to do something.You'll notice that I shit on Bitcoin a lot, but there's a reason. It's currently the embodiment of the manipulation going on in this space, and it's also a tremendous indicator that we're not even close to mainstream adoption. Neither the tech, nor the market that needs it are ready. Because of this, the vast majority of attention is glued towards price action, and the wheel goes round, and round...So, I'm fucking tired. Tired because I keep writing long, heartfelt posts about the bullshit going on and that nothing changes. Tired from the rampant financial illiteracy and disregard for caution. Tired from reading the fucking two-paragraph MSNBC articles telling me why Bitcoin will both reach $20,000 again and crash to zero at the same time. Tired of the ICOs, STOs and IEOs. Barely anyone talks about the adoption hurdles of cryptocurrencies, yet we churn out two new shit-flavored tokens a day. Barely anyone talks about the utterly delusional market caps, the shady practices and the coins with 60% supplies held by founders, when that should outright dismiss these projects as illegitimate from the get-go. Barely anyone compares and contrasts projects in a clear, neutral fashion so we can have a hint at what the competitive landscape currently looks like and even less people advise caution when they see the value of their project skyrocket, even if it's still very much at the research level. Fuck, 90% of people who somewhat understand the tech haven't yet admitted to themselves that raw Proof of Work will never scale.It's especially frustrating because I recognize the value of this technology. There is no doubt in my mind that we'll be using distributed ledgers meaningfully in a not-so-far future and that cryptocurrencies will be an essential part of that use, but the waters are beyond muddied. The microscopic bits of logic are lost in a sea of garbage the size of the Pacific ocean.

Blockchain Is Gaining Trust In The Enterprise

A recent survey from Deloitte’s 2019 Global Blockchain Survey: Blockchain gets down to business. which interviewed 1,386 senior executives in twelve nations has produced some very positive results when questioned about the importance and relevance of Blockchain and its adoption.Many companies are now offering enterprise-grade blockchain solutions such as Amazon, IBM, Aergo and Oracle and the list of both companies as well as clients interested in the enterprise space is growing!Some interesting figures from the Blockchain Survey shows that enterprise are "Bullish" on blockchain. I have listed some below.86% of senior executives interviewed believe that blockchain technology is broadly scalable and will eventually achieve mainstream adoption.53% of senior executives say blockchain has become a critical priority for their organization this year, 10% higher than last year.Financial services and financial technology (fintech) sectors are leading in blockchain development, according to Deloitte.Blockchain’s three greatest organizational barriers include implementation (which includes replacing or adapting existing legacy systems), regulatory issues, and potential security threats.Additional barriers include lack of in-house capabilities, uncertain Return on Investment (ROI), concerns over the sensitivity of the information, and the lack of a compelling application of the technology. The following are the respondents’ responses to the question, What are your organization or project’s barriers, if any, to increase adoption and scale in blockchain technology?Peoples perception of barriers are becoming more positive​https://i.redd.it/114kbza67p031.jpg18% of enterprises are planning to spend $10M or more on blockchain initiatives this year, and 23% will spend between $5M to $10M. Senior executives based in each of the twelve nations included in Deloitte’s survey are predicting wide variations in blockchain investment levels. Luxembourg, Switzerland, and Germany are the home nations of enterprises planning to invest $10M or more in blockchain technologies in the next twelve months.Blockchain use cases are proliferating today, with data validation (43%), data access/sharing (40%), and identity protection (39%) being the most popular. Enterprises are piloting blockchain to improve payments, achieve track and trace accuracy throughout their supply chains, and evaluating the digital currency aspects of the technology. It’s important to note that 87% of enterprises first start evaluating blockchain due to its innate strengths for enabling completely automated or touchless business processes. 86% of enterprises are evaluating and piloting blockchain to achieve the goals enabling new business models and revenue streams. Please click on the graphic to expand for easier reading.All in all, a very positive outlook from important people in the enterprise space. Have a look at the survey which is linked above for more details!

Ethereum Back In The Game - DApp And Smart Contract Transaction Rise

Following a positive performance in term of prices, Ethereum proved that it defeated the bearish sentiment. In recent days its usability has exploded beyond the economic dimension, reaching a record of daily transactions never seen in the whole year.According to Etherscan, the number of daily transactions recorded in Ethereum was 908,208 on May 16, 2019. This figure had not been reached since May 4, 2018.However, it is important to note that while last year’s peak was a trend anomaly, which then recorded a sharp decline, now the number of Ethereum’s daily transactions seems to have a sustained upward trend that began in February of this year.The gradient of this trend is very similar to that recorded in 2017 when Ethereum became very popular.​While Ethereum has been out of the DApp spotlight in late 2018 - 2019 in favour of EOS and Tron and eyes focused sharply on FLETA and Loom to bring increased speed and scalability it has certainly not been forgotten.​An Increase in DApps and Smart Contracts Show that Ethereum Has More Use Cases Besides Financial TransactionsWhile the number of transactions is proof of the increasing public interest in this blockchain another important fact to consider is that of how much Gas users consumed. As it is known, Ethereum is a blockchain oriented to the development of DApps and Smart Contracts and the more complex these developments are, the more Gas they will consume.Also, ETH Gas Station shows that an average transaction requires a consumption close to 21000 GAS, however, the average of Gas consumed during the month strongly exceeds this amount.This could show that beyond simple economic transactions, the public is using more DApps and Smart contracts that require higher consumption because of their complexity.So far, Ethereum is the blockchain with the most active developments. Recently Joe Lubin (co-founder of Ethereum) and Jimmy Song (Bitcoin evangelist) made a bet on the adoption of DApps within 5 years. Lubin believes that by that time Dapps will be extremely popular, while Song believes that this trend will be a failure.

The Legal BitConnect That Cannot Fail: The US Monetary Policy. And How Crypto Will Free The Masses From This Scam That Is Called "Treasury Bonds"

Treasury Bonds and Inflation: a Ponzi backed by Tax PayersIf you want to see how perverse the US monetary policy really is, look up treasury bonds. The idea is basically putting debt into an asset and selling it on the market with the promise of paying it back with interest. The US government is a giant Ponzi Scheme, a machinery that keeps financing itself through this cycle. It works because of inflation that allows the fed to pay interest.Once you get behind the naive thought that all this debt is supposed to ever be paid back, you realize how fucked up this really is. The fed can keep accumulating an ever-growing debt forever. They don't effectively pay it back. It's a continues differential process, not an open balance sheet waiting for settlement.Not only the fed bit also bond holders are making a massive profit because they are paid interest. And pure finance (that is not producing any actual goods) is a zero sum game: Every win to someone is a loss to somebody else. So who is losing in this game? Basically everyone else. Treasury bonds are the official government version of BitConnect. More and more money is allocated into treasuries. Tax payers unknowingly provide the security cover to prevent the Ponzi from collapsing. Taxes are what gives treasury holders their confidence to loan the fed.On top of that, the government is taking full advantage of it's power position right next to the money drain. They sit on oil. That oil is called inflation and it's actually less of a liquid and more of thin air they use to print money.This Ponzi won't fail because its victims, average tax payers, don't know about how inflation is ultimately ripping them off while enriching the government and treasury holders.The Organized Cash Grab: Rule #0 of the Power GameNow here's a shower thought for you that should give you chills once you get to the core*: Those few smart people who do find out how this giant machinery works, are allowed to become part of that money grab by buying treasuries that gives them a profit above the inflation rate at the expense of the clueless masses.*The unspoken rule #0 of this power game: Once you find out the single purpose of all rules in this game is to make everybody else lose so that the winners can win by playing against these very rules, there is no reason to call the winners out for cheating because now you are invited to play against the rules as well and ascend to a winner yourself.This keeps the game going forever because everybody who realizes these dirty tricks, has no real reason to complain but can become a cheater to take profits themselves.The Role of CryptoCrypto is giving the sovereignty over this game back to the people. It is enforcing a monetary policy where no central entity in power can inflate the supply. Crypto is not taking loans, it is not handing out treasury bonds and most importantly it is not selling its community to the few individuals that can see behind the curtain of a machinery that is kept just abstract enough to prevent the masses from seeing through it. As the day they realize that it is ultimately their blood that is fueling this monster of a machine, they would throw over the entire system.I know that many of you are here just to get rich. I, too, was attracted to crypto by the promise of becoming rich overnight. But it was also crypto that involved me into speculation for the first time in my life and got me interested enough to look up basic economy.After realizing all the illegal and hidden as well as the legal and official corruption that is happening in the upper layers of our society - a sophisticated network consisting of a tiny elite of people in powerful positions in major companies, big financial institutions and most importantly the political players that hold it all together by providing the legal framework: the rules for this scam - ... After realizing all this the circle finally closes back and I look in complete awe to Satoshi's decision of embedding this particular message into the genesis transaction of the powerful tool he gifted to humanity:The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.

14 Things We Learned Creating a Million Dollar Hyperdeflationary Currency

Four months ago we made a reddit post announcing a social experiment to create a “self-destructing currency” called BOMB. The reactions were polarizing, to say the least:Some comments were positiveA currency that no one wants to spend but everyone wants to have would result in an ever growing value. However, it might only be on paper because no one wants to spend it. I wonder what will happen. I really hope this gains popularity, very interesting.Many comments were negativeAaand this is why crypto is viewed with such cynicism. People can literally create their own private currencies in their basements.Multiple comments were entertainingLOL, I wonder how many FBI safeguards this will trigger.The success and legitimacy of the project were still to be determined, but one thing was for sure: people were curious.​The Big Bang​On January 15th, we launched one million BOMB into the digital abyss known as the blockchain. The rules of the currency were simple: Only 1,000,000 BOMB would be created.Each time the BOMB is transferred, 1% is destroyedThere would never be a newly created BOMB.Over the following months, more than 750,000 tokens were distributed for free, over 3,000 individuals participated, and over 20,000 BOMB were burned through transfers and trading (2% of total supply). The social communities grew into the multiple thousands, and many respected projects began getting involved.The intention was not to be used as a transactional currency, but rather a consistently deflating and decentralized store of value.The problem we were attempting to solve (or at least experiment with) is the token velocity problem that plagues many of the tokens in the market today.The goal was to become the deflationary currency of the decentralized world. Many currencies focus on speed, cost, and privacy. We focus on deflation.​​BTC vs. BOMB​The Journey​The reaction of the events over the next months took us down a winding road of adventure and a fair share of heart attacks. One day we would get an endorphin rush after the co-creator of the #OccupyWallStreet movement wrote an article; the next day we would find a major vulnerability in the code that would literally cause us to re-issue tokens.Through it all, the journey has been a rewarding one, and we learned a lot along the way. Here are the top 14 things we learned while creating a million dollar hyper deflationary currency. ​1) A Deflationary Asset Can Survive... So Far At Least.​One of the biggest things we wanted to learn when starting the social experiment was to ask:“Can a deflationary asset survive?”​Good question in theory, but how do you measure that? Do you measure it by price? Do you measure it by how many people hold it? Do you measure by usage?Within the community, one of our members recently public a “The Bomb Report”, a case study breakdown of some really interesting statistics and analysis of the currency and the success/failures it has had so far.​Bombs Burned Per Day​​Total Bombs Burned Over Time​​Price vs Total Burned Percentage​​​2) If You Build it, They Won’t Come​The blockchain industry consists of some of the most talented technical and visionary minds in the world. However, despite this, most average consumers haven’t experienced a blockchain application or used the currencies built on top of it.While there is still plenty of time for true mass adoption to occur, it has become clear that the amount of technical value being developed is not equating to the amount of activity or users.We believe this is not for lack of building, but for lack of storytelling and communication. Average consumers don’t resonate with technological features, they resonate with the stories and the advantages within a solution.Bitcoin, the most successful cryptocurrency to date, has one of the best stories behind it. An anonymous and mystical figure behind the name of Satoshi Nakamoto took his passion and pain from the financial crisis of 2008 to create a better solution.The building behind BOMB wasn’t intensive or complex at all, just a few dozen lines of code in solidity. But that wasn’t our story. Our story was our journey and social experimentation of a deflationary currency. That is why people joined, and this is what keeps people intrigued still to this day.​3) Hodling is Still Alive & Kicking​Despite the average airdrop value sitting over $200 per participant, 84.5% of people have not touched or moved their BOMB. Out of 3073 current addresses, 2604 people would rather hold than sell their BOMB.​4) The Cryptocurrency Industry is Skeptical by Default​Despite giving away all our tokens for free and answering questions as transparently as possible, the default response was skepticism; and rightfully so.Despite over $13,000,000,000 in public capital allocated to the decentralized world in the first half of 2018 alone, over 1000 projects are now dead. Many of the people who joined the industry joined during this time and still feel the resentment to this day.While it will probably take many years to overcome this skepticism, and may never go away, we learned it is important to take every comment and negative remark in stride. Some are valid concerns, but a majority aren’t actually mad or disgruntled with you, but at the industry as a whole.​5) Going from 0 to 1 is 10x harder than 1 to 10​Like most projects, when we started, our followers and community count started at zero.During the first few weeks of sharing the story of BOMB with a few friends, the growth was extremely slow (relative to what it is today) at maybe 1–5 people per day.Nobody wants to be the first to the party. When you’re walking down the street, everyone assumes the crowded bar is better than the empty bar. The one thing you can do to overcome this early stage is making your early adopters feel like absolute VIPs.More than the early adopters getting more free tokens than everyone else, myself and the co-creators spent endless hours on telegram talking with each and every single person who joined. There was not a lost soul who wandered into our group that didn’t get an overly ambitious introduction.This is the core and foundation that will set everything in motion. While I no longer introduce myself to every new person to the group, our community does, and its an amazing feeling.​6) Clear & Concise Communication is Everything​When I first started telling my friends about BOMB, the natural response was “What else does it do?”We as humans have a natural instinct to think more is better. Many founders start with a very clear mission to create something like a comfortable chair but they end up explaining their product as an “Anti-Gravitational Sitting Apparatus to Disrupt the Entire Furniture Industry with Built-in LED Lights and Omni-Rocking Functionality”The problem is when we try to communicate this vision to the world, our vision becomes convoluted and messy. The most successful projects to date consist of the ones doing one thing better than anyone else.When people explain what BOMB is, they explain it very clearly and concisely: A deflationary currency. When people explain how BOMB works, they easily recall and reference the three rules of the currency as stated above.​7) Transparently Bad News is Better than No News​The biggest “OH SNAP” moment for BOMB occurred in February, just a few weeks after airdropping our creation to the world. A community member following the project found an error on the code that could open up the currency to exploitation in the future.Rather than attempting to hide the situation, we made a medium post to explain the situation and news to the community.Just a few weeks ago, many of our community members began to get anxious about a potential exchange listing that was taking longer than expected. While frustrating to take criticism for items we couldn’t control, we wrote a 19 thread tweet storm titled “Transparency Update”. Despite the negative news, the community loved it and felt closer to the project than ever.People many times don’t mind what happened, as long as they understand why you did it, and the reasoning behind it. Yes, there will always be that 10% that won’t accept your answer. But the people who truly care about your vision and value will stick with you. Those are the people who matter.​8) You Don’t Need to Spend $25,000 on an Exchange​Getting on an exchange after raising zero capital was definitely hard. We made a commitment early on that we would never ask our community for money, so everything we did had to be extremely scrappy and resourceful.To help get us off the ground, a few of our early members kept talking about a community/technology called ParJar. In short, this was a telegram bot we could implement that allowed our community to openly trade BOMB instantly and feeless whenever they wanted.There are a lot of items that helped us build our community, but we believe ParJar gave us more native engagement than any other campaign we have done. This organic incentivization ecosystem for individuals to exchange assets was and continues to be the backbone and foundation for our growth.​9) Not All Exchanges Are Created Equal​Even at the peak of the bear market, exchanges attempted to charge anywhere between $20,000 and $250,000; and those were the low-level ones. We definitely couldn’t afford this.After doing more research, we narrowed down our goals with exchanges and what we were trying to accomplish. While many projects immediately want to get on the “bigger volume” markets, research showed there were only a handful of exchanges that had real volume. The rest were doing a lot of wash trading.Instead of going after the top level exchanges, we focused on connecting with other respected and up-and-coming exchanges that would be willing to work with us on integration. The deflationary features inside our contract make us incompatible with many exchanges. This was a full-time job in itself.After many months of searching, we were able to really connect with the team at DDEX (an exchange that is venture backed by reddit’s co-founder) that saw the potential in BOMB and took a chance on us. ​10) Liquidity Premium is a Real Thing​While I have heard the term ‘Liquidity Premium’ before, I didn’t quite know how this would impact a deflationary currency. In short, a liquidity premium occurs when something costs more/less because it has high/low liquidity.The best way for me to think of this is a house. Although houses are valuable, they many times take months to be sold or liquidated for cash. Because of this, prices can be up to 20–30% lower than it would be if it were liquid.In relation to BOMB, our goal from the beginning was to decrease token velocity as much as possible. The side effect of this was low liquidity. As soon as we reached Mercatox (a centralized exchange that didn’t burn the tokens) BOMB value increased by nearly 25–50% overnight. Of course, we can probably attribute some of this to new eyeballs and demand, but it has been interesting to watch the arbitrage between a DEX (burns BOMB) and a CEX (doesn’t burn BOMB).​​Growth after Liquidity​11) The Market Decides Value, Not the Founders​One of the biggest questions we got in the early days was:How much are BOMB worth?When we explained that the tokens were being given away for free, many equated this to no value.In traditional coins or tokens, the value is determined (or at least decided) by the founders at the price they are willing to sell them at. If XYZ project decides to launch an ICO and sell them at $1, that is the given “value” of the token.The problem with this premise is that this initial value is completely arbitrary and theoretical until it can be actively traded. I can attempt to sell my car for $250,000, but if the market will only pay me $250, that’s what its worth.If we learned one thing from the 2018 bear market, its that the founder’s of projects are very bad at knowing the intrinsic value of their own tokens; many times 90–99% off.Rather than giving our token an arbitrary number, we gave every single token away for free and let the world decide its value.​12) Capital is a Luxury, Not a Necessity​In the startup world, people many times reference the Lean Startup approach. The premise is pretty simple, get your idea into the world for as little amount of money as possible, and see if the world is willing to give it value. In the cryptocurrency world, everything seems to be backward.Cryptocurrencies spend months planning an ICO, then another few years developing a project, only to find out if their idea is worth building. Millions of dollars are spent on the building before confirming the demand.IF you truly believe you have an idea that people want or need, and IF you are willing/able to build an MVP first, and IF you want to build a community fueled project; give a portion away for free and let the market decide your fate.Then, if the market gives it a thumbs up, you have some liquid capital to build your grand vision; all while raising zero capital.​13) Code is Replicable, Community is Not​One mission of BOMB from the beginning was to hopefully provide a financial case study for other people to learn from and implement into their own tokenomic structure. We anticipated and expected others to do this. But, what we did not expect is the number of exact copy cats that would arise of the first weeks. At this time on Etherscan, there are more than five other replicas of BOMB that people created. While we were originally discouraged at others attempting to directly imitate our project, we quickly learned that what made BOMB special was no the code, but the community of people around what we were creating.You can copy code, but you can’t copy a community.​14) People Who Truly Believe in Something Will Go Above and Beyond​To this day, we haven’t paid anything beyond a few #BombUp rewards to our community. And yet, they do some of the most creative, amazing, and impressive creations we could have ever asked for.​Report: An in-depth financial and data-driven report on BOMB explosions, price, and analytics trends.Art: Everything from designs to stickers for the community to use and play with.Games: A community member-run group that gives away BOMB every day for playing telegram games.Articles: Some of the most passionate people writing in-depth articles about the project.Languages: Alternative languages that wanted to discuss BOMB in Russian and German.​Conclusion ​There is no doubt that to some, BOMB will be nothing more than a meme coin, and we are okay with that. One of the most fascinating parts of this experiment has been watching our original meaning, goal, and vision of BOMB change and evolve for other people over time. Instead of attempting to control the dialogue, we let the community interpret the project in whatever way they want.This individual empowerment has truly given the currency a life of its own and the amount of fun, insight, and overall awesome people we have been able to connect within our short lifespan has been nothing short of amazing.At the current rate of deflation, if the current pace stays constant the last BOMB is expected to be destroyed by 2031._______________________________________________​If you would prefer reading or sharing this story through a medium format, here is the link.

Would anybody be interested in cards like these? They would be done only needing a public key that you would provide. I could also do for more cryptos, just ether is the easy one for now

Become an Aergo Knight!

Today is a very important day in the next phase of the Aergo Ecosystem. The Aergo Knights will be taking over from the previous ambassadors and RewarDrop program.​https://i.redd.it/ndiixkxisb031.png​We chose the word Knights because, we feel a Knight is a person of honour, a believer in the mission they are working on and a good external representative for the company. You can read more about this in our announcement post as part of the 419 Campaign.We have selected our first batch of Aergo Knights based on exceptional performance in the last ambassador program and new community members who have gone above and beyond to help with ecosystem building efforts.Going forward we will be working closely with these Knights to help push Aergo forward in 2019 and beyond.“I want to be an Aergo Knight”If this applies to you then that’s great news! We will be accepting new applications on a rolling basis. The first batch has been notified and we will be adding to them periodically as we find suitable candidates.It should be made clear that we want to build a close-knit team who know each other personally, work together, and are willing to put in a certain amount of effort to help build the Aergo Ecosystem. Knights are rewarded proportionally to their effort and impact, this shouldn’t be seen as an airdrop program.If you are interested in becoming an Aergo Knight, you can fill out this application form and we will review your application. Showing us what you have already done or plan to bring in is key.You can apply to any of the three categories below, but we are looking for real experience in the Developer and Enterprise categories.Crypto AmbassadorsOur ambassadors will be tasked with helping spread the word of Aergo within the crypto community. They will be helping out in areas such as community, business development, and marketing. Ideally, they will have been an active member, be well versed with the crypto space, and potentially have strong connections to communities or regions.Developer EnablersWe’ll be putting together a best in class team of developers and developer enablers to take Aergo out to the global SQL and Lua communities. This could involve everything from representing Aergo at external events, helping with our own events, contributing to a developer portal, or working on other dev focused projects.Enterprise ChampionsIn this category, we are looking for experienced enterprise champions who can represent Aergo in their region, help create marketing collateral for enterprises, facilitate introductions to suitable companies, and be a valuable person in the field amongst a variety of other tasks.We are really pleased to kick off this next chapter and we know that we have a strong first batch of Aergo Knights. As the group grows and diversifies we will be able to greatly grow the Aergo Ecosystem and keep showcasing ourselves as one of the leading enterprise blockchains on the market.Here’s to the Aergo Knights!

Is this really what you want?

I've been engaged with the cryptosphere since almost the very beginning: immediately seeing bitcoin for what it was, a way to securely store wealth outside of the banking system, freed from relying on a middleman who, it became clear over time, was more interested in policing my (and everyone else) actions to make sure their ass was covered with the increasingly noisy regulators, and due to their financial irresponsibility, always coming up with new and progressively more ridiculous fees.I was fed up with the old system already, having explored the black magic of infinite inflationable monies, centralized, communist-style administration of entire economies, and all the suffering, surveillance, corruption, and centralization of power that such things necessarily entail.Some Rothschild or Rockefeller said it best, "give me control of a nations money supply and I care not who makes the laws" - or something to that extent.Anyway, the allure for the very early adopters was being able to sidestep the massive fiat scam, put personal financial destiny squarely in our own hands, and not rely on third parties as much as possible.In the beginning Bitcoin was almost completely ignored. Only some ubernerds and a few drug dealers and drug users (who would like nothing more than peacefully transact between each other and mutually benefit from the exchange by the way, but are forced into dark corners of the internet because of arcane, politically-motivated, outdated drug laws that FINALLY appear to be crumbling to pieces after DECADES of propaganda and lies organized by major world governments and their lackeys) knew about it.Unfortunately most people lack imagination and, the nerds being mostly quiet and the drug-related activity soon being used as a justification to slam bitcoin with the "only for crime" label, most people thought nothing else of it.They could not see, and to this day still don't see, the immense potential that cryptocurrency can bring the world.There are more of you out there now who can, this is self-evident. Although frankly too many of you are here for gains mostly/only, and fail to see what cryptocurrency is really all about.Much like how so many people think the Internet is facebook and instagram and twitter. Which is so shockingly ignorant it almost makes my blood boil.Look, gains are nice, and of course we all want to make some money. I won't even fault you for taking profits, to me this seems like a sensible hedge, even a full decade into the cryptocurrency experiment, nothing is guaranteed, nothing is certain. So it makes sense to diversify, even - gasp - into fiat money that we can - hopefully - put to good use, today, in the "real" world.But to get back to the story - quickly then, from a very underground thing that almost nobody knew about, Bitcoin was attacked as being "only for criminals", and there was a palpable sense of apprehension and fear from international organizations and governments.Here was this thing that entirely sidestepped the financial system that keeps their funny monies going, and people were using the technology to emancipate themselves from arbitrary limitations and appalling mass-surveillance.And once a state gets used to mass-surveillance, it is very hard to get it to stop. The power is simply immense.Can you imagine? A database with the social connections of every citizen, what they like reading, the sites they like visiting, their physical location logged nonstop, painting very detailed pictures of peoples' lives.All of their posts online, neatly tucked away in some searchable massive database.Almost no one protested. "Well, I have nothing to hide", they said. And thus the surveillance state grew and grew, almost entirely unchallenged.In the name of "fighting terrorism", "catching pedos" and "removing drugs from society" (I could write volumes on this last one alone but this is not the time or the place) we saw our liberties and privacy being steadily eroded, particularly after the perfect excuse happened on September 11 2001.Boy oh boy did we see a destruction of civil liberties since then.Another part of this mass-surveillance was, and is, the banking system. Put simply, every transaction you make is under surveillance, recorded indefinitely. The reasoning? It could be related to financing terrorism.That appears to be the great corrosive thought behind all of this.You could be making a transaction to fund terrorism.You could be spewing "hate speech" (who gets to define it? apparently these days it means expressing right-leaning opinions - tomorrow, who knows?) on social media, so better record everything you write.You could be visiting "extremist" sites online, and because clearly this means you must be an extremist-in-training and not just some curious human trying to understand why on earth someone would have such wicked ideas, your internet activity is logged and analyzed.You use Tor or a VPN? Oh dear, now it's really clear that you must be a potential criminal. Otherwise you would have nothing to hide.Right ?Do you see the pattern?To bring it back to cryptocurrency, Bitcoin users, it is known, were also targeted for increased attention by certain intelligence agencies. Same logic - you were not happy with using the mass-surveilled financial system of yesterdecade? Probably a criminal in the making.Eventually though, that air of fear and apprehension more or less vanished. Regulators actually begun to realize that bitcoin is entirely transparent!All you have to do is require KYC at strategic points. People thought you were crazy for saying KYC would come to crypto. But it was so obvious.And you know what else is obvious? Once exchanges are keeping KYC, global regulators will require that they exchange information with them. This, recent news tell us, is already set in motion and will soon be a reality.Given the transparent nature of most blockchain projects, the implications are so obvious that the fact that almost no one sees what's coming next is almost enough for me to lose hope in humanity.Once there is a centralized record of who owns which addresses, several things become possible.You can now put people under surveillance in real time while they do their transparent chain business (.. shocking, right). You can tell who they transact with, and how often. You can censor their transactions, if not at the network level, at the merchant and exchange levels.And you can do something else too, which is to automatically treat any and all bitcoin addresses not associated with a known real identity as potential money laundering (remember the pattern?).All of this information being available will inevitably create a reality where you will be asked questions about what you do with your money. And this time it isn't the bank, it comes straight from higher up. Because every transaction is fucking PUBLIC!.Who did you send 0.5 BTC to on day X ? This address is not known to us. Please explain (or else).Why did you attempt to mix your coins? Have you got something to hide?Do you enjoy swapping coins in accountless sites like morphtoken ? Well, enjoy while it lasts, because it is a certainty that they will soon be forced to force you to put your identity at risk of being stolen, or else - you guessed it - they are helping with laundering funds.You think tools like wasabi wallet will help? On a transparent chain?If by now you cannot tell that the only thing this will accomplish is an automated blacklist of your coins because you must be trying to hide something but not allowing the State to track your every financial transaction on the chain, there is not much hope left for you. That is simply a massive failure of the imagination, and I lack the words to make the consequences of your ignorance any more obvious.I'm one of those "privacy nuts" you sometimes hear about. 15 years ago I was telling people that it was a really bad idea to be donating so much personal information to some company, but nobody would listen. Already too hooked on getting attention and feeling validated. What's sacrificing a little privacy to feel good - who cares if the tech company is making millions selling your every weakness, your private thoughts, your tastes and opinions, to third parties who somehow, for some reason, are very very keen in acquiring this data.Baffling how people could not see how valuable this data would become. Today it seems they are beginning to wake up.Meanwhile, the entire Internet has been boobytrapped, and in the unending fight to get rid of pedos, drugs and terrorists, we all live under mass-surveillance and almost everyone pretty much accepts it without questioning things too much.After all, there don't seem to be many consequences.But that's just a failure of the imagination.By accepting, uncritically, that transparent chains are a good foundation with which to build the new financial system, you are all voting for more surveillance, the automatic criminalization of privacy, suspicion by default, and subjecting yourselves to 24/7, algorithmic mass-surveillance.Physical cash is already on the way out in some parts of the world, and this is no accident. It is much harder to trace cash, and at this point the fourth excuse to do away with that pesky stuff - civil liberties - comes into play.The digitization of everything financial, the accompanying mass-surveillance and mass-ingestion of the data is necessary, you see, to catch tax evaders.After all (and you will remember the pattern for sure), if you desire some financial privacy, if you would prefer to keep your economic activity to yourself, you are a potential tax evader.It should go without saying, and even including this paragraph I suspect there will be many comments by people with short attention spans who will accuse me of encouraging tax evasion. Ah, how deep the brainwash goes.To that I would say, just think about the fact that up to until only a few decades ago (in thousands of years of history) it was not even possible to do financial mass-surveillance.And somehow roads were built, civilizations thrived, and there's a direct ancestry right to us.And yet we are told that only by stripping everyone of privacy could the state ever hope to collect tax.Bullshit.Look, you have to ask yourself, is this really what you want ? A world of mass-surveillance where all aspects of our life are neatly categorized and searchable in some state-controlled database (that will never be hacked, right ? hint: shadowbrokers)Can't you see it? Have you been anesthetized?Are you too numb to see?This is totalitarianism. Pure and simple. It's happened so gradually that somehow it seems the world has failed to notice.It is not right for things to be this way. If you would stop distracting yourself with social media, tv series and porn (and whatever else young people distract themselves with these days) you would come to develop this notion.Cryptocurrency was all about personal freedom. I am sorry to say that the technology has been almost entirely successfully adapted to do the exact opposite.Rather than offer us freedom, it serves as perfect, immutable evidence of all of our economic activity, whatever little privacy it offered crushed by off-chain measures like KYC and guilty-until-proven-innocent techniques that would have made the STASI proud.But not all is lost, yet.Fortunately we already have the technology to make on-chain privacy a reality. It's called Monero and it works today.I'm not going to babysit you through this and I'm not going to tell you to just trust my word for it, but I am going to tell you that if you care about a future where financial privacy is a reality, a future where the state and powerful corporations don't keep tabs on every transaction you make, every cent you receive, from whom and how often, with perfect accuracy, where automatically they know where you spend your money.. if you care about a future where you are not a slave to some financial master who insists on its right to observe to the most minute detail every aspect of your financial life (and as we have seen, many other aspects of life too - financial mass-surveillance is after all a subset of mass-surveillance itself)..Then you owe it to yourself to read about Monero.Transactions cost less than a cent, and on-chain privacy is a reality. Today.Will it be the ultimate financial privacy project? This I cannot know. I can tell you that it is the best chance we got today.Ultimately it does not matter to me which project makes financial privacy a staple. All I care about is that we, the peoples of the world, are able to transact with each other freely, without the assumption of wrongdoing, without being asked questions about or dealings and who we decide to do business with, before there is any evidence of foul play.That is what is happening today, and it is a very palpable thing that outside of certain niches like VPN providers, Monero adoption is very lackluster.They are afraid. People hear "privacy-preserving money" and think "headaches from the state". This is a shame.This cowardice will, unless reversed, soon enough plunge us into a world where our masters know everything about us, and can with the press of a button blacklist, deplatform, defund, and otherwise shut us up.Applied knowledge is power, and so is information. If you know everything about everyone, you have tremendous power over everyone.This reality must be stopped at all costs, if we want freedom and individual liberty to survive.Surveillance coins (99.999% of them) are not the answer to this most concerning of trends.Stand up for your rights. Use Tor, use VPNs, encrypt your email, encrypt your communications, and use privacy preserving cryptocurrency such as Monero.Don't be afraid. There's strength in numbers.Never forget who ultimately gives legitimacy to laws. If enough people come to think that weed ought to be legal, then in countries where the government is still somewhat under the control of the people, it will be so.You are probably sitting at home reading this. In the privacy of your home. That should be sacred. And yet, if you decide to visit certain sites like torproject.org or getmonero.org after you read this, automated actions behind your back will be taken. Increased scrutiny will be placed on you - "who is this person, that wants to protect their privacy?It is hard to convey in words just how evil, misguided and stifling this is. You may say I'm exaggerating, in which case only one word for you: SNOWDEN. And by the way, it was pretty damn obvious before his revelations that something of the sort was happening.Like it is obvious now with surveillance coins (transparent blockchains).Today it's KYC, tomorrow is automated chain analysis, the day after it's endless questions about who you're transacting with (updating the central registry based on the answers), and when your debt-ridden, socialist-leaning state finally pulls a Venezuela on you, it's open season.Let's try to put a stop to this while we can, shall we? The beast will not grow tamer if we keep ceding ground.The beast sometimes needs to be reminded of who's really in control.Privacy is not a crime. It is our birthright. We have the right and the basic dignity to transact with one another, without the Eye of Staton gazing upon us.No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.http://bit.ly/2JDgMo0 is on us, and future generations will hold us accountable, if privacy falls worldwide and the state controls every aspect of our life, and comes uninvited to ask questions under threat of force if we refuse on principle to comply.Stop getting distracted. Educate yourself, never stop learning, and do what you can to make this world a better place.More state control ain't the way.
