What is Bitcoin?

You may have heard of Bitcoin on TV, or in a conversation with friends. Truth is, Bitcoin is more than just “funny money”, in fact it is now a force to be reckoned with. Dig a little further and you will find Bitcoin is actually an extremely fascinating concept.

Bitcoin is an internet digital currency. Unlike other digital currencies like PayPal, Bitcoin is decentralized.

Decentralization, in the context of Bitcoin, means every transaction made on the Bitcoin network can be viewed by anyone around the whole world. Furthermore, all the information of Bitcoin transactions is downloaded onto every Bitcoin users computer making it impossible to shut down the Bitcoin network.

The Bitcoin protocol cannot be hacked and if backed up correctly can be even safer than storing your money in a bank.

Bitcoin can be used to buy things in the real world. Want a new TV? A cup of coffee to start the day? Try paying for it with Bitcoin.

“At its core, bitcoin is a smart currency, designed by very forward-thinking engineers. It eliminates the need for banks, gets rid of credit card fees, currency exchange fees, money transfer fees, and reduces the need for lawyers in transitions… all good things” - Peter Diamandis

51% The UK’s referendum will be decided on a simple majority. The fork will be activated if more than 50% of voters want it.

A blockchain fork also occurs on a simple majority, when miners throw more processing power at one chain than any others. To ensure less fallout, and the odds of two chain being maintained indefinitely, some forks are only activated at higher percentages of support; Bitcoin Classic’s hard fork is set to activate at 75%, SegWit’s soft fork at 95%. But this is an artificial condition and a 51% attack will still fork the blockchain.

Here’s where the technical unavoidably meets the political. There’s a reason why the phrase ‘95% attack’ never really took off. 95% isn’t an attack, it’s a landslide consensus. A fork is inherently divisive; it splits the community. The trick is not to split down the middle: it is to split with such overwhelming support that you kill the minority chain. And perhaps that’s why forks, through mining support or referenda, are so controversial. It’s the 49% who might get left behind.

- He was elusive when it came to explaining exactly how he and Dave Kleiman, who died in 2013, put together bitcoin who was responsible for how much and which elements of the project.

- Kleiman and possibly Wright were very likely involved in serious criminal activity in the past. Both have a connection to Ross Ulbricht, the creator of the Silk Road; Wright claims they never discussed bitcoin in their meetings (which O’Hagan does not believe). Kleiman, himself a drug user, was more involved and may have been one of its architects. There is mention of illegal activity to do with casinos in Costa Rica.

- Wright kept critical details from O’Hagan and others and refused to give a full account of the creation of bitcoin. At points he apparently told outright lies.

- He alludes to others who were important or instrumental in the creation of bitcoin. The first transactions went to four addresses, belonging to ‘Hal [Finney], Dave, myself… And another I cannot name as I have no right to do so.’

- Wright comes across as deeply ambivalent, desperate for recognition but not wanting to be forced to out himself whilst claiming not to care. He hated being called a fraud but loathed the idea of having to prove he was not lying.

- A number of high-level bitcoiners, including Andresen, Grigg and Matonis, are convinced he is Satoshi - as are his business partners. Cryptographic evidence they witnessed informs this belief.

- O’Hagan himself had misgivings, hovering between belief and recognising that something he couldn’t put his finger on was wrong.

Bitcoin something missing and the narrative as it stands doesn’t quite hang together. Almost, but not quite. It feels like a narrative has been constructed to fit the facts, rather than directly from them.

The best explanation, based on the information to date, is the one O’Hagan himself concludes with. ‘What if you were 30 per cent Satoshi. You were there at its formation and you were part of a brilliant group. You coded and you synthesised other people’s work and you shared in the encryption keys. Then, some time in the last year, you upgraded yourself to 80 or 90 per cent.

You were already a lot more Satoshi than anybody else has been hitherto, but the deal, in your eyes, required you to be more and in the end you couldn’t carry that off.’

There’s more to come in this saga, and judging by the news that Wright is filing dozens of patents for blockchain applications, with hundreds more to come, it will no doubt be back in the news sooner rather than later.

INTERVIEW WITH NED SCOTT

9

Tell us about yourself, your backround and how you got interested in block chain technology?

My brain is wired for economics and psychology, that’s what I studied in school – and since the moment I first read about Bitcoin, it has always felt like the right path. From 2013 on, the rabbit hole of Bitcoin and blockchain tech has kept me busy and it’s been this wonderful experience where there’s something new or something to learn from with each passing day. Not long after discovering Bitcoin I came across Dan Larimer. He was beginning work on the Bitshares project. I followed the Bitshares project and other Blockchain 2.0 projects closely, and in mid-2015 I decided I would jump into the industry and I began moonlighting by bringing blockchain technology to different firms in New York. Soon after that I took a trip to see Dan and we came together to found Steemit as the first decentralized social media platform that pays users to post and vote.

What is Steemit?

Steemit is the decentralized social media platform that rewards users for posting and voting, and it's as simple as uploading your blog post or video. In the context of the decentralized ecosystem we’re building, Steemit is the blockchain-based social media application based on the Steem blockchain. Steem allows social media to be powered in a new way. People can now earn two types of cryptocurrency, Steem Power and Steem Dollars, just by posting and voting online, no tipping or third parties required. Content creators, since the dawn of the internet, haven't really made money online without advertising, but with Steem they can.

And for the regular people, quality content, news and discussion can rise into view based on the wisdom of the crowd.

What makes Steemit different to our social platforms such as Synereo?

There are many great projects in the blockchain and social media space, but Steemit is different in that it brings a new economic model to the table. The model is a sort of fountain of youth, similar to the mining rewards of Bitcoin, rather than a tipping or revenue sharing model.

model. Steemit users are rewarded by the Steem blockchain itself. The blockchain tallies posts by their votes and then rewards the best poster and their voters accordingly. Because of this, Steemit can be an ad-free, decentralized social media platform where anyone can get rewarded just by posting or finding good content.

How are coins Steem distributed?

Steem to posters, voters, Steem Power holders, market makers between Steem and Steem Dollars and miners at a set rate, similar to the how new Bitcoin is created to reward the miners of Bitcoin.

This method makes Steem into a sort of fountain of youth .where there are always rewards for people to come earn and they can do so at a very low barrier to entry. Crypto has traditionally been something only obtainable by mining or through exchanges. But with Steemit, regular people can be on boarded to the technology for the first time.

Is there anyway you can control undesirable content?

The beauty of a blockchain application like Steemit is that the content goes on the blockchain, and of course, content that goes on the blockchain stays on the blockchain. So as the app provider we can’t

11

Steemit Website Interface

control how content goes on the blockchain and we can’t control it to take anything off of it. We do, however, manage the interface and that’s where we could be forced to hide content, but as Steem members vote down or flag content that could be bad for the site, the content would disappear.

It’s worth highlighting that because the blockchain is open, transparent and public, any other entrepreneur could come along and leverage the same database of information, including all the ssts, comments, votes, profiles and follows. Because of this, if there were ever censorship going on at the application layer, people could point to us and say “hey, there’s content being censored from the blockchain”, and that would be bad for us as a business. We want to promote freedom of speech, and it’s in our best interest to do that as much as possible – and the blockchain facilitates those incentives quite a bit more than social media platforms that have come before us.

Steem coins are backed fully by the US Dollar. How is this peg maintained and why did you decide to take this approach?

This is an important piece of Steem to look at because the mechanics are

are somewhat different from most other cryptocurrencies. In Steem, there are three types of the token, Steem Dollars, Steem Power and Steem.

Steem itself works pretty much the same as Bitcoin, meaning it’s fungible, tradeable and transferrable. Steem Power is a committed version of Steem that gives the holder voting power, access to special functions of the blockchain and rewards the holder with more Steem Power. Any user can power their Steem up or down depending on how they want to use the platform. Steem Dollars are interesting because they only come into existence as a reward when a user successfully posts or up-votes quality content. The peg is a new design based on new and old concepts in the crypto economics space, including pegging-by-seignorage mechanisms established by Vitalik Buterin and others prominent figures the space.

Once it’s been distributed by the blockchain for good posting and voting, the Steem Dollar is a blockchain-based contract in which the Steem blockchain has committed to buy and destroy the contract in exchange for Steem at the value of a dollar. The system does not depend on a third party to 'back' the value. The value comes from speculation (see: Steem on Bittrex.com or its market cap on coinmarketcap.com), price feeds and the recurring seignorage to reward those who hold the Steem Dollar token.

We took this approach because we hypothesize that the robust distribution and one-way exchange from Steem Dollars to Steem allows the token to be pegged closely to the dollar, which then gives the platform more utility for regular people who use or covet dollars today.

How can Entrepreneurs take advantage of Steem?

Steem is a public utility – especially for entrepreneuers. Because it’s a blockchain – and an advanced blockchain with 3 second block times, storage for posts, votes, comments, profiles and follows – it’s an open databse for entrepreneuers to tap into. Whether they would like to build their own social emdia application or build servicews that support the apps that have already appeared, the opportunities are unrestricting and we’re beginning to see many entrepreneurs take advantage.

13

Where do you see the future of block chain technology going?

I see public blockchain databases becoming fast and ubiquitous. Once real-time speed is factored in, it’s not beyond the stretch of imagination to expect developers to go to blockchain by default. The blockchain toolkit called Graphene, which was developed by my business partner, Dan Larimer, is a prime example. The three-second blocks achieved under Graphene and leveraged by Steem, provide the speed necessary to support real-time applications. With the added security and immutability of blockchain, I expect fast, application-specific blockchain databases will become a standard for application developers around the world in no more than a few years.

What can we expect in the future from Steem?

We expect to help build Steem into a decentralized movement for the common man. Similar to how Bitcoin has been a movement, and Ethereum has become a movement for developers, we believe Steem has a barrier to entry low enough to appeal to regular people – for the first time, getting into crypto is as simple as posting or voting on content.

Steemit is the first major app on the platform for publishing and viewing content, but in the future, expect getting content to Steem to be as easy as “pinning” the blogpost or video you already created.

What can we expect in the future from Steem?

Join us at steemit.com or come join us in the slack channel to meet other early adopters and devs at http://steem.herokuapp.com. And for perspective, readers can also see another blockchain app, with the same content, at steemd.com.

An easy way to understand the blockchain and what it needs for widespread adoption is to compare it to the Internet. There are a number of similarities between them, in particular they are both disruptive innovations, open sourced, and decentralized. Moreover, the Internet is made up of individual websites, while the blockchain network is made up of individual blockchains. Together, websites form a network and it’s reasonable to assume that the same will happen with blockchains as well.

17

The different digital currencies (or blockchain applications) aren't so much competing with each other as they are competing with the old infrastructure and its established ways of doing business. The Internet is competing against the traditional means of communicating information, and the blockchain is competing against the traditional means of verifying ownership. When one blockchain gains mainstream adoption, all the other blockchains benefit as well.

A website in itself doesn't offer the consumer much if it’s no whole network of other websites. Each blockchain also has it the more developed the network of blockchains becomes, t the purpose will be.

DAOwn the Rabbit Hole. Development strategies for the crypto community.

Smart contracts are dangerous because of expressibility. Infinite expressibility means an infinite point of vulnerability. If something is infinitely expressed it means - that it is basically impossible to properly bug check and audit programming. An infinite expression in term of design means a much wider range of attacks and exploits can happen within a protocol / cryptocurrency / programming language.

Defining something - rather then expressing something is better for security. If we can define what a program is specifically supposed to do this means we can audit it and bug check it, programming needs to have defined limits for security and development.

Well how far does code debugging and code auditing go? What is expected from the community and what is expected for staff involved with the organisational benefit of projects? Bug checks should be working from a peer to peer decentralised level, this means not only developer involvement but bug checking from users and individuals across all platforms. Initiators of projects should accept professional security auditing for a provable concept.

Professional security auditing should occur on all platforms. Security of systems should be audited from professional cryptographers and white hats, this should not be done from just one point - this should be done

21

Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this article are those o

from several points meaning many different organisations involvement. If you centralise security checking on a peer to peer system this does not work, there must be multi levels of security auditing so gain wider scope.

The use of tried and trusted programming languages is extremely important. These programming languages must be in the computational science for a number of years for audit purposes. We can only use tried and trusted languages that allow for expressing formal specifications of programs - these need to be consistent and decidable.

Why is Tau-Chain the hedge to Ethereum?

Tau-Chain creates a shared database for programming language that is able to be coherent and consistent. Tau-Chain can also meaningfully query, to reuse information code/data efficiently to allow all kind of social operations and communications that can be done. It allows every user to set their own specific rules and design specific data sets.

Non turing completeness is initiated within this project. Rules are created and expressed. Tau-Chain uses already existing protocols, availability of languages and inherent compiler trust. This means code can be securely deployed over a network. With no inherent turing vulnerability. Thus creating inherent trust in the network and programming. http://www.idni.org/ For All ICO Countdowns, Go to http://www.icocountdown.com/ Owner and Creater of ICOCountdown.com, aka Alex, is an independant writer for CORE Media.

priority is and must always be for the safety of investors’ funds. This is also why we have made no announcements about partnerships or initiatives that are not yet certain.

Biotech Meets Blockchain Bioviva, an anti-aging biotech company, has announced it's intention to crowdfund on top of the WAVES platform. Sasha Ivanov meet with the Bioviva CEO in Moscow eariler this month. Bioviva is the first of many companies that will crowdfund on top of the WAVES platform.

Offical WAVES Forum Online The offical WAVES forum is offically online at https://wavestalk.org/. As a result, the offical bitcointalk thread is now closed. With plenty of excitement around the WAVES platform there has a great deal of misinfomation on the bitcointalk forum and it was in the WAVES best interest to close the thread. Unoffical threads are open however WAVES advises you to take the infomation on these threads with a grain of salt.

We have also seen a great deal of scams already, we at CORE Media advise WAVES users look at offical sources before making choices. The WAVES slack auto-invitation system is currently down due to scammers replicating WAVES admins.

Lite Client v0.4.0 Released The WAVES team has released the Lite Client into the wild. The Lite Client is a Chrome Application. This is an early release so don't expect to see many features just yet. However, it does give you a nice feel on what is to come in the future.

Click on the image below for a link to the latest Lite Client.

The genesis block has been created and the network has launched, allowing investors to withdraw their WAVES from their ICO accounts and send, receive and trade them independently.

To begin with, whilst we establish the network properly, this will only be possible using the Lite client and Chrome App. We will publish instructions and code for those who want to run full nodes in due course.

A few things to remember as you download and run the Lite client: Before installing it, please delete all previous versions if you have been helping to test the client.

1. Please clear cookies, cache and so on (Ctrl+Shift+Del in Chrome).

2. Record your SEED. This cannot be stressed heavily enough. You can generate a new seed in the client or use your own random string of characters of sufficient entropy (such as a bitcoin private key). Either way, you must write this down, save it on another media or otherwise keep it as backup. Without the seed you may ultimately lose access to your WAVES account.

3. The Lite client is optimised for Chrome. You can use it with other browsers but Chrome will provide the best performance.

4. Once you’re up and running, paste your WAVES address into the new box in your ICO user account. We will process withdrawals at regular intervals until everyone is done.

WAVES Raises 30,094 Bitcoins!

WAVES has raised a whopping 30,094 Bitcoins ($16,010,008). 29,634 Bitcoin were raised via the ICO website and 460 in NXT Asset Swaps.

The very last days of the ICO saw a tsunami of bitcoins flooding in, where the net total doubled. The crowdfund lasted from April 12th to the 1st of June. The end result was the sixth largest crowdfund project and third largest cryptocurrency project ever.

"Greetings WAVESTERS! Thank you so much for being such an active and generous part of the first stage of this project. As you know we are working hard to release the lite client within the coming hours, and there are many more exciting developments in the pipeline. We will keep you informed with regular updates. In the meantime, Congratulations and thank you once again for participating in this historic event." - Sasha Ivanov

WAVES's Daily Crowdfunding Statistics

ICO Distribution The WAVES phenomenally successful ICO has a number of implications.

The large amount of funding will enable them to hire the most talented developers and forge relationships with financial insitutions. It is also excellent publicity in its own right: WAVES is the #6 largest crowdfunded project of all time.

Moveover, WAVES' distribution is extermely broad. Although 29,634 BTC were collected, there were 5,790 investors, averaging a little over 5 BTC per investor. The single largest account invested 866 BTC and holds 2.87% of all WAVES. Overall, the top 10 accounts invested 5,178 BTC and hold around 17% of all WAVES. Given that uneven distribution is the norm in crypto, with many currencies having double-digit holders, it is encouraging that only one has as much as even 3% - which along with the large market cap, significantly reduces the scope for market manipulation.

Interview with JL777 of SuperNET about Iguana Tech.

As you noticed FinHive development slowed Reason for this slow down was my activity to refill private funds and to settle an important small but well connected group of traders and located in switzerland. One of the trader is a f invited me for talks and presentations on Finh potential and the frameworks combined with are 'very' conservative it took a while to make lives in the blockchain which raises many que cooperation could be settled, official and uno came to following agreement as long not inco community confirms this cooperation by votin majority.

SkyNET will develop decentralized AI technology using neural nets, SVM and other methods, combined with blockchain technology to create real world solutions that can be monetized.

Transforming complex, interdisplinary financial data on a large scale into a meaningful strategy using advanced statistics, technical analysis, and machine learning by utilizing local and distributed computation. What BOINC[1] is for folding, FinHive is for finance. This turns FinHive into a first class financial data creator, analyst and vendor.

Finhive grants group the right to set own re lower than Finhive prices 4. Finhive supports group in allocating human resources to evaluate a platform for decentral based on blockchain tech[2].

Profit Sharing: Sharing is most simple. Net profits generated group are splitted equally (50/50).

to sell or frontrun the community we agreed that buying will be public at the asset exchange starting next week in smaller chunks.

[2] Finhive holders will be rewarded with shares in case this project is feasable but the percentage is undefined atm. Since this idea hasn't reach a solid proof of work status it doesn't make sense to work with some numbers now.

The support offering here is pretty small in their terms and should interpreted as a starting point without any formal claims for both sides. They are aware Finhive has potential and they would be happy if all works out, nothing more nothing less without any obligations. If they see progress additional support is planned.

Voting: I will create a poll to vote on this cooperation proposal and another one asking for moving FinHive to the Waves platform as soon as stable and technical possible. I am abstaining in both polls to not distort the result, so if possible please vote on both polls (have to find out now about different poll types first).

Finally: I never talked about the internal funding situation because change at market price complaining doesn't help but the development slowed down also due to the heavy nxt price decline at initial funding stage and bad e results and coworker decisions from my side. This forced me to do additional side jobs to refill the funds but Finhive is just to big for a one man or distributed show in the long run even if i can cover many dev areas myself.

SuperNet granted trust and funds to Finhive at the beginning and i strategies, models and said several times if problems occure we will talk about it so here we go. Without trying to influence the poll result i would recommend to accept this cooperation because Finhive has nothing or free to group for to loose here and no obligations. During negotiations the group demanded access to the TA framework sources in return for support om cooperation but which i heavily declined (this was the main reason for the delay to public this proposal). This framework presents a real inner value and eseller prices but not the good message is that the group offered a price higher than the initial SuperNet funding Finhive received. Even if the code isn't for n and technical sale of course this means whatever happens SuperNet will always lize social trading get the initial funds back at minimum. This takes a little pressure from my shoulders even if this scenario isn't what i like to see for Finhive but i like to mention this. from data sales by

This makes it practical to run many coins at once, which enables fully decentralized DEX.

So each gecko will be a v specialist in the one thing But more important is that the iguana's allow the all the gecko's custom ch basilisks to run many coin wallets, without BTCD and BTC blockcha needing any blockchain locally. lightweight but secure at Basilisk

Basilisks run over water and they are really cool ! Komodo use nearly mag your wealth, for example The technical analogy is that a basilisk node doesnt need to have any heavy blockchain It has two modes, one th locally, but yet gets a decentralized wallet as it the normal bitcoin protoc uses the iguana cloud to get its data. seamlessly with the othe secret mode that no othe This allows even a chrome app to be a breach. multiwallet.

If to look inside any tech that makes things easy will each be a special for users, it will be complicated. Jumblr, pangea, rence implementations etc will all need BTCD and iguana/basilisk."

- JL777

The following is a chat between two great minds, JL777 and Grewalsatinder. In this chat, Grewalsatinder pokes JL777's brain on the upcoming SuperNET Tech.

Grewalsatinder - RED JL777 - GREEN "Okay. If a basilisk node needs to check balance of an account, that query to network is obviously free. If any transaction needs to signed and done, only then Iguana full nodes get some fee. Is that correct? or is there any other time too when Iguana full nodes get fee from basilisk nodes? How much is the fee? Is it in percent or something specific?"

"For now I have it set to 0, but will default it to .0001 to match normal txfee. It would only be charged if the tx is actually signed and confirmed by network. It is possible other requests will also get fees, but whenever possible I will make it as transparent and painless as possible, yet enough to compensate the costs for running a server. Ultimately each server operator will determine as they will be able to set the fee they charge. of course if they charge too much, then other server operators will have a better price the basilisks will use. I think it is called market forces."

"When iguana starts it auto creates one default login, I think without password, not sure... and if I create a new login there in full iguana node, or may be more of these accounts, which account the generated fee goes which is generated by service basilisk nodes? Can it be set with some API call to collect this fee in particular account? Or collecting fee is not activated by default at startup and needs to setup through API and then it gets activated?"

"The address that is active when the iguana stakes the block will determine" "You mean btcd staking in iguana? So the fees feature will be active when btcd staking is available in iguana?"

"Still working out all the details. There is an active account for having need for privkeys, and so whatever that is will likely be what is used."

"I read time sequence server post again. If I understand correctly every time a timestamp to add a hash of something as a proof, a new address is generated by spending a mili bitcoin. And that mili bitcoin is never retrievable. It's burnt. And as more of these are burnt the total supply of 21 million bitcoin doesn't remain

27

actually 21 million but lesser. As t timestamps is very tiny, it doesn' millions of timestamps are done of bitcoin timestamping: https:// But, with iguana childchains a me submitted to BTCD and BTC. Doe collected by full iguana nodes to timestamp of blockhashes? Is th event or repeating event? Does t and BitcoinDark as time sequenc tiny part of BTC and BTCD to ma chains?"

"It will cost BTCD to secure again to secure against BTC chain. By d chain and slower to BTC, you can will increase the number of BTCD what is a blockchain for if you do burned, it goes to the miners/igu chains that have market value, it autoconvert to the required BTCD initial deposits."

"Is that the case which is differen feature is coded that way or is it timestamping? Another confusio there are 6 BTC blocks (1 hour int deterministically calculated "now childchains faster then?" Means are not?

"I don't know how other versions else did exactly what I am doing. it goes. Has confirms like any alt chain, it now has its own confirm appears on BTC chain, now it has confirms and BTC confirms. So it immediately after 1 confirm"

"In blockchain block generation t which are included per block det So, it's BTCD confirm is first does to BTCD block generation? If BTC minute, the childchain is also 1 m BTCD confirms + BTC confirms. S time interval.

"The child chain does what the c children. They do whatever they they post a timestamp."

s did this as I dont think anybody . Child chain goes however fast tcoin. When it appears on BTCD ms plus BTCD confirm. When it s its own confirms, BTCD t is like waiting 10 confirms vs

"So, when childchain is created with API call we also mention what's the block generation time ? like I create a childchain and set it's block gen time to may be 5 seconds...is that the case? Or it's variable?"

"Yes "blocktime" is a parameter. No guarantees it will always achieve it, but it affects the different targeting. But I am improving things in this area as so much will depend on its security."

"You also mentioned in previous chats that we can set childchains to set to NO Fees to generate blocks. In case I set childchain to work with 0 fee, and in it's own iguana peers it is running independently, it's own confirms are not secure? if not secure does that mean it's transaction security falls on to BTCD confirms + BTC confirms?"

"Well if it isn't charging fees and nobody is paying the BTCD nodes, then unless it is very occasional blocks, likely that the iguana nodes will just ignore it. However, the payment for these things can be done independently of the child tx. The fees would be market rate pricing. However, if a chain has enough peers of its own, then it can self-secure just fine, i.e it becomes like any of the hundreds of altcoins. I will support both PoW and PoS methods to secure private chains. But the default is delayedPoW." "You said, "The payment for these things can be done independently of the child tx". These independent payments are automatic too or manual?"

"For now, these are open issues. I think the easiest is to have a specific address for each privatechain. Then anybody could make donations to keep the chain secured" "Can I read about delayedPoW somewhere? Any discussions may be on some forum post?"

"https://bitco.in/forum/forums/iguana.23/. It is the time time and number of transactions sequence server idea enhanced. Solving N@S makes PoS viable termine it's transaction speed. for mass market use and is a key part of the overall solution" s that mean it's speed is relative CD block generation takes 1 "Yes, but I wanted to learn about delayed PoW, thought it must minute? Ahh...own confirms + have been discussed or debated somewhere in forums etc."

So own confirms is the initial "Oh, maybe it was via private chat I had with anonymint is the only place with all the juicy details. You will see the C code for it child chain does. Can't control the soon enough." want. Then when they feel like it,

Running at a total of 108 pages, the SuperNET & NXT Annual Report is the most comprehensive report to date in regards to these two entites.

SuperNET and NXT have been in the past year well ahead of the pack in terms of blockchain innovation. Unfortunately, this innovation has been sheltered from the public due to it's complexity.

This report aims to simplify SuperNET and NXT, and succeeds in doing so by providing easy explanations to complex ideas, charts and graphs, interviews and dividend infomation.

The report also looks into how NXT, SuperNET and Blockchain technology fits in philosophically in the whole scheme of things, and how this technology can be used to break down destructive institutions that are considered the norm within society.

Tales of a Trader "Trade at your own discretion. There is no guarantee that you will earn any money using the trading techniques and ideas in this article"

BTC Trading BTC price traded between $532 and $660ish on Bitfinex this month. The driving news was of course, the impending and eventual exit of Great Britain from the EU. High volume from the Chinese markets also leads one to believe that the continued devaulation from the Chinese Yuan is pushing more and more investors into other investment opportunities especially BTC. Altcoins Trading There was so much action in the altcoin world. A great way to track the success of altcoins at a very general level is here: http://coinmarketcap.com/charts/#btcpercentage. It's cool to see how altcoins are increasing/decreasing market share with regards to BTC. Anyways, I couldn't begin to cover it all, but I'll note the big highlights. First, the DAO contract exploit on June 17 sent ETH and DAO prices down the drain as millions of dollars started being drained from the DAO funds ETH address. The rest of the month was constant large % gyrations as news about whether the funds were going to be restored and in what manner (soft fork, hard fork, etc.) constantly pounded interested investors.

The entire month, SIA continued bringing the heat with strong volume and the price spiking as high as 177 satoshis on June 25. Following in SIA's footsteps later in the month was XEM and then NXT. Both saw incredible price increases with of course, high volume. XEM went from

41

Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this article are those o

329 satoshis to it's spike up to 2737 satoshis on June 25 on news of its successful foray into the Japanese micro-finance industry. Finally, NXT screamed upwards from around 1000 satoshis to 4600 satoshis as hodling NXT for the upcoming Ardor release became the popular thing to do. Currently, NXT has settled around 3500 satoshis, although unlike SIA and XEM, I think there might still be a little push left.

On a seperate altcoin note, Waves has all the traders confused. After a seemingly successful, albeit slightly delayed launch, Bittrex quickly added the WAVES/BTC pair and volume/price subsequently was very high. After a few days however, of Poloniex neither commenting or projecting when they would be adding WAVES to their exchange, the mood quickly changed and price has been going down ever since. In 10 days, it's gone from 40,000 to an ATL of 22,626. The clear play with WAVES right now is if you think it's going to get added to Poloniex. If so, this would probably be the time to snap some up.

Altcoin Predictions It's been great to see the altcoin markets start to heat up again. Bot trading funds such as LQD have really been profiting off of the incredible swings. With BTC constantly stiring them up like poking a bee's hive with a stick, I expect all kinds of more action this month. As I said earlier, with the Ardor snapshot not even beginning until July 12, I expect NXT to continue to have a strong uptrend.

WHO DARES WINS! BY ROBERTO TM I admit that I am to blame for buying a lot of s**t coins both in the past and even recently. But I will always continue to buy coins with the hope that I will find a gem in all the crap.

Because if you don't attempt buying any coin, especially when it goes against the belief of the crowd and you always feel that buying is a bad idea, you may just continue to spin your wheels and listen to the trolls. My belief is that if you don't buy anything but rather stick to the main coins, you will never win as you will just be playing the same ticket as everybody else and the percentage of winning anything is lesser in that case.

You will never know what you missed out on. Even if you fail, you will have gained valuable knowledge of how to do better in the future. That’s why my slogan in life is “He who dares always wins”.

43

M's Corner

It means that if you dare, and try to do something different and be strong and persevere, you are almost assured of a win; but if you don’t try at all, you don’t even have a shot at winning.

These are my 6 basic pieces of advice when buying a coin. Note that they are not exactly a fullproof sure way of winning, or that I am right, but these are the only ways I see it and it is "Who dares wins!"

Roberto T.M's Top 6 Trading Tips

1. Buy when the prices are very low and sell when they are high but do not sell everything, always keep at least 25 percent.

2. Do not listen to the trollbox, they are not there to help you, rather they are there to fill their pockets with money, using nothing but their lies.

3. Always check volume, and the best place to do this is in the coinmarketcap, check the trend on the graph.

4. Many people will tell you that it is better to just keep buying bitcoins, holding on to them and forget about the rest but that goes against my two main principles. Just try to invest in some of them that you find interesting and that you feel have a good future. If you don’t dare you will never win but if you put all your eggs in one basket and it drops, all your eggs are broken and all your investment will be gone.

5. Just like gambling you can lose everything, but once again don’t put all your eggs in one basket, spread the risk.

6. Do not be in a rush to buy and sell your coins, rather be patient. It is the most important point in trading. You must be strong emotionally. Who dares wins!

CORE Investor, Cascrypto

"Seven years ago my first son was born, at that time I started reading financial blogs like zerohedge and Max Keizer. Then I realized the financial world is one big scam. I felt a sense of frustration and anger so I started to hoard gold and silver. Still have a lot of love for the precious metals but it is an environment that feels like is getting ready for Armageddon and I dislike that negativity because it doesn’t get us anywhere.

So when I found bitcoin and alt coins in his shadow it made me super happy. Finally a group of people that act and find ways for ordinary people to have an immense impact on the world at large and it could come from a little group of entrepreneurial skilled communities. I honestly think we are creating a new industrial revolution. The time of the big corporations is ending, I hope and there will be a leveling of the playing field.

I talked to people at meetups and gave a few small presentations over crypto for friends, investors and professional finance people, not always with success. I like to show and try to spread my enthusiasm for decentralization. When I tell too much people disconnect so when people haven’t heard of bitcoin it is almost impossible to talk about altcoins or assets.

The hardest part of investing in crypto is the speed and massive amount of opportunities. CORE enables people to invest in a fund that gives advice and is active with finding and investing in new developments like WAVES, Blitz and of course SuperNet."
