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

Scalability

1) Make bigger blocks. This is Bitcoin Core, XT and Classic’s basic approach. The whole scalability issue comes down to the fact that each block has limited space; we’re at the point where transactions are being delayed because they’re getting bumped to the next block, and the easiest way to fix that is to make bigger blocks. It’s a fairly blunt approach, since it means the blockchain will grow exponentially - and therefore so will the bandwidth and hard drive space required to run

It raised over $145 million, it and almost none of them see 3) Sidechains, or child chains, or… There are various approaches to sidechains. The proposal for Nxt 2.0, for It’s The DAO. example, includes a system of child chains, secured on the main chain. The main chain itself is super-slim, pruned of everything unnecessary, whilst the child chains can do what they want. The advantage of this is that it allows separate economies to develop, secured on the parent chain. However, it’s not scalability in the same sense as other approaches: you’re securing many different and separate blockchains on the one chain, not increasing the capacity of the main chain. Thus it enables many more tps, but as part of a series of systems, not the same one.

4) Sharding. This is something discussed in the context of Ethereum. Basically it involves splitting blockchainspace into segments (shards), by groups of addresses. Shards are then dealt with by different sets of nodes, so Ethereum is shaping up to be a

a pretty cool platform.

Smart contracts are a Big Deal, and we’re now starting to get some of the first use cases coming in. No surprise they’re accompanied by massive hype. DigixDAO pulled in $5.5 million of investment, all in ETH. But that’s dwarfed by The DAO, which has attracted an unbelievable nine figure dollar equivalent. At present, something like one in every seven ETH have been invested in it. It’s a truly interesting, innovating and promising concept, certainly. But it may also have problems that its investors haven’t begun to grapple with yet. What is The DAO? The Decentralised Autonomous Organisation is a new kind of enterprise: a leaderless entity that exists in cyberspace, residing on the blockchain. The rules governing its existence are written in smart contracts. It belongs to everyone who owns a share in it, and decisions are taken collectively. It’s something like a decentralised venture capital fund. Investors receive DAO tokens in return for their ETH, which give them voting rights on different project proposals. Funds are released upon approval to create new products and services, which will in theory pay dividends back to DAO holders. It’s a beautiful concept: the democratisation of investment in the hands of ordinary people, embodying the sharing economy and being rewarded for their involvement. However.


Bitcoin Yeah, however.

Releasing funds for a project will necessarily mean putting sell pressure on ETH, in the short-to-medium term. That’s what happens when you use the same token for money as you do for network fuel. Will it matter? Unclear. It certainly has been an issue for other 2.0 platforms like Nxt. What goes up… It also seems likely that the recent spike in ETH’s value is due to new people buying ETH to invest in The DAO. So what happens when the ICO is over and there are no newcomers to support the price? Gravity will take over, and it may not be pretty. That alone could cut the USD-equivalent cash held by The DAO by, what? A third, a half? Limited refunds. As one former Curator of the project suggested, holders may not realise the economic dynamics of their investment model. Funds can be pulled from the project at will - but investors may be in

Bitcoin has been trading between $440 and $470 for some weeks now, with $470 proving a long-term ceiling. Last week, after the brief drop below the $440 level, it was clear that something was on the cards. This week, the market smashed through the $470 mark, decisively breaking out of that corridor. Even if it drops back in, it’s clear that we’re not in Kansas any more. The times, they are a-changing.

N e w s Testnet In Progress Rigorous testing of the WAVES testnet is ongoing and has been since the very beginning of the ICO. Testing is not only being done by the WAVES development team, but also by the community eagerly following the progress. Some of this testing can be seen in real time on the WAVES slack. For the latest testnet version, please proceed to: https://github.com/wavesplatform/ Waves/releases. For instructions on how to run the testnet, please proceed to: https://github.com/ wavesplatform/Waves/blob/master/Testnet.md. Testnet faucet: http://testnet.wavesexplorer.com/faucet. In addition, the lite client for testnet is already underway and is currently being tested.

WAVES Sponsors Ethereum Forum in Russia On May 16th, WAVES had the pleasure of being one of a range of sponsors at the Ethereum Forum in Russia. This indeed was an historic event, critical for WAVES to establish itself in the wider crypto currency community. Founder Vitalik Buterin, now enjoying crypto celebrity status, was the main feature of the conference after his successful launch of Ethereum. WAVES founder Sasha Ivanov and Vitalik Buterin, both fluent Russian speakers, hung out after the conference.

The lite client (right) is a clean and highly user-friendly interface to the network. It is designed to be downloaded to a local computer and run from Chrome, rather than accessed from a web link. No blockchain download is required. A link for the download will be provided very soon. WAVES collected 15,894,812 USD. Mainnet will launch on 2 June, but initially will rely on nodes hosted by the WAVES team. This is to ensure a stable and secure network, allowing for iterations and optimisation as required, before the code is released and anyone is able to run a node. The WAVEStalk forum will also be launched in few days.

During the initial phase, investors can move tokens to their own addresses from their ICO log-in areas. Bounties will be distributed. This stage will take around two weeks to allow everybody to withdraw their funds, and to allow a full security audit to be conducted. On 14 June the code to run a node will be released to exchanges, and official trading on exchanges will start. Further functionality such as Asset Exchange, fiat assets and asset-asset trading will be added in the coming months.

Introducing NXT 2.0 Announcing Nxt 2.0, the successor to the pioneering Nxt platform, which has been an inspiration for many other successful blockchain projects. Nxt 2.0 builds on the experience we have gained from running Nxt 1.0 in production for over two and a half years, and aims to solve real world problems of scalability, privacy, currency liquidity and usability. Nxt 2.0 retains all the core features of the first version of the Nxt Blockchain, but builds and expands on Nxt 1.0 by adding secure and scalable child chains. This new flexible architecture allows users to create their own blockchains, customised to fit their needs, while drawing security from the collective ecosystem of the global Nxt 2.0 platform.

19


Nxt 2.0 is being built by a very experienced and professional developer team. The same team that built the first true Proof of Stake system, that implemented the first decentralised token trading system, the first and only fully decentralised coin shuffling implementation among many other groundbreaking features for cyryprocurrency/blockchain. The Nxt core team has been consistently innovative since the original Nxt launch back in 2013, and many Nxt innovations have been incorporated into other projects.


NXT 2.0 Token Distribution

Nxt 2.0’s prime innovation is to split the blockchain into a main chain that is used for consensus creation only, and multiple child chains that keep separate ledgers of transactions, each child chain using its own coin/token.This means that there will initially be two distributions of tokens: one for the main chain token (for now called FXT), and one for the token for the first child chain to be launched (for now called FNX). The Core Developers recognise the tremendous contributions of the investors and holders of the original Nxt 1.0, without whom Nxt 2.0 would not be possible, and have decided to grant them exclusive rights to these new tokens. It is important to note that Nxt 2.0 does not mean Nxt 1.0 will cease to exist! The Core Team is committed to continue providing support to Nxt 1.0 for at least one year after the Nxt 2.0 launch, and possibly further. There will be no burning of Nxt 1.0 needed in order to receive either FXT or FNX Tokens.

21


FXT (Main Chain Tokens) All NXT holders are eligible to receive FXT Tokens at launch of the Mainnet. Shortly after the release of Nxt 1.9, (intended to be the last major release on the Nxt 1.0 branch) the Nxt Software will start taking periodic snapshots of all users' NXT balances, at regular intervals (most likely once an hour), for a period of three months. The NXT balances in each account will be averaged over this full three month period, and at the end all accounts will be automatically credited with a token representing their FXT holdings, issued as an Asset on the Nxt asset exchange. This FXT Asset will be freely tradeable. The distribution of the real FXT coins ( to be done at the launch of the Nxt 2.0 Mainnet in Q3 2017) will be based on the ownership of FXT Assets on the 1.9 blockchain, taken at the point of time when the 2.0 Genesis block is created, shortly before that launch.

FNX (Transaction Tokens for the FNX Child Chain) The distribution of the FNX Token will be based on each account’s NXT holdings at the time of the Nxt 2.0 Genesis block creation. At the time of writing, the Core Devs have decided to credit 50% of these holdings to each new FNX Account, while reserving 50% of FNX for funding of the development team, business development and other operations that will need funding to make the Nxt 2.0 project a success. The Core Devs acknowledge that not including this step in the distribution of 2013 was a mistake in the first place, which has left the project chronically underfunded. As a donation based model is not sustainable, they decided to opt for the allocation of 50% for project development and sustainability.


NXTNXT 2.0 Features 2.0 Features Nxt 2.0 will retain ALL Features of the Nxt 1.0 platform. Account Numbers Account numbers are preserved. Since the mapping from secret phrase, to public key, to account id will not change, your 1.0 pass phrase will correspond to the account with the exact same number on 2.0. Existing 1.0 users will be able to login to Nxt 2.0 with their existing passphrase. The Account table will be global, and each account can have balances in any of the Child Chain tokens, as well as in FXT. Assets Existing Nxt 1.0 Assets or Asset Transaction History will NOT be ported directly to the FNX Child Chain.

"Instantdex is next up. I wont delay anything for the hardfork, will just do it in the background. Another point is if we want lite wallets. If so, then the lite iguana's will need full nodes to query. Which means I can make a liteiguana <-> old codebase interop or liteiguana <-> 0.12 codebase interop. It could well take less effort to port to 0.12 and get the interop network working, vs. spending the time with the old codebase, which also wont have the new opcodes in 0.12. Additionally, once I do the 0.12, I will do it in a way so that it wont take much work to rebase to 0.13, 0.14 etc. Anyway, technically it is something that has to be done at some point and I can do it on my off days. I have spent almost 3000 hours on just iguanacore in the last 6 months and it is looking pretty solid so far. What I am saying is that to achieve the SN technical goals, moving the blockgenerating nodes to a recent codebase is really something that shouldn't be skipped and it will be much easier to hardfork before usage expands a lot.

account balance and ability to create a valid unsigned tx, so there is the iguana balances and iguana rawtx API for that. Given the balance, the user can see what balance they have to spend and given a cloud that creates rawtx, a node can sign it locally and broadcast it. Not sure what block explorer calls are needed for a lite node, if they need a block explorer they would just go to a website or run a fullnode. If they just want to send/recv crypto, I think rawtx and getbalances does most of what is needed. The existing bitcoin tx message handles checking the status of pending tx. That is what surprised me. That with 2 remote calls, a fully functional lite client is enabled. Of course I probably will find some loose ends, but so far a lite node is able to do the instantdex atomic swap protocol, at least halfway. After I get it fully working and know exactly what calls are needed and which ones arent, I will disable the ones that cant work in a lite client. The ones that need remote will just automatically make a remote request, so the RPC is unchanged. That is the beauty of this approach. No changes needed to client software as long as the unsupported RPC is not used.

Update By House Hey Guys, Well, in six short months, after launching COFINT, it has grown from an unknown start up to a fully capable business entity dealing with some of the richest and most respected companies in the Northern Territory. Our client base spans multiple industries of the private sector as well as the public sector with continued dealings within Government departments. There's alot of potential to put the CORE Brand out there. Our most recent project is testament to how we make the impossible not only possible, but when the going gets tough, we keep a cool head whilst remaining solutions focused. PROJECT: Head Office Fit Out CLIENT: Halikos Group BUDGET: $259,000 CONSULTATION: 4 Weeks LEAD TIME: 6 Weeks INSTALLATION: 2 Weeks Halikos is one of the most distinguished Companies in the Northern Territory of Australia, it was important for us to make an impressive contribution. I’ll be honest and say … "It was no walk in the park”, but we had quality suppliers and skilled professionals to create a most excellent work space in one of the most desirable locations in Darwin -> ‘The Charles Darwin Centre’. The complete office fit out on the 18th floor entailed a stunning 42 Office Workstations, 2 Boardrooms, Breakout Areas, Meeting Rooms and a Reception. Unfortunately I've been too focused on the day to day running of CORE Office to be out the front in Cryptoland, but I see some of our best people are off the porch and running with the big dogs. The solid executive engine behind CORE MEDIA are really shining out. It's a personal conviction to be sure and all shareholder support is very much appreciated guys. We are certainly at the threshold of progression today. Information is rich and rewarding for those who stand at the spearhead of information creation, transportation, design and distribution. From the perspective of a non technical person looking at Crypto for the first time, it must surely be overwhelming. This is where CORE Media can really shine.

29


The strength of Bitcoin currently is fueling much optimism for the near future. With such a wide array of choices, the average speculator will drift with the ever changing current and wealth can easily transfer in as well as out of any technology, concept or design brief. That said, there is certainly a fair amount of pump 'n dump shinanigans happening and it is ever more important that we are vigilant for the sake of the wider community. There is as much emotional investment as there seems to be monetarily in many a crypto currency or asset. Just read a troll box on an exchange for half an hour, haha. The partnership between WAVES and CORE Media has been realized at a pivotal juncture. Because of our shared history, we are well aligned to give leverage to one another. To compliment and express our shared vision. The Waves Team have a good raport with the CORE Team, often the lines are blurred when we are creating and energized. We will be working cohesively to ensure a strategized and effective marketing effort is accounted for. Something that we can all be proud of playing a part in helping to create. As efficiency and accessability improves, the crypto population will expand by a multiplying effect. With easy access to 'generaly accepted' fiat gateways and a sound reputation system, there is little to stop its progression. It is important that we maintain a level of responsibility. We need to show to the world the integrity of the decentralised system. It is regulation that has created an environment for manipulation and greed to fester. I continue to follow the markets and am absolutely bewildered by the ability of these people to contort the truth and put lipstick on a pig and then sell it to other people who buy it. The gravity of our conviction is that CORE stands as a Guardian, so that as the masses begin to venture into the relative safety that is cryto, we are a light in the dark. We are living in profound times. Let us relish in its wake. transportime21bus as always refreshing and inspiring. Thanks for bringing a passion for life and so you inspired me to write a verse. "For the people who wish to live in harmony and the mother who's child is livin' poverty, there's a place for Crypto. As a blockchain worker codes integrity, to distribute the bounty to his family, there is a place for crypto. For the diligent and for the champions, for the child who's born, for algorythms We can take it back, we can break its back, we can say in slack, we will make it right Transparency .... there is a place for Crypto."

Tell us about yourself and how and why you got into Do you filter the ICOs on y cryptocurrencies? do you remove ICOs y Essentially I stumbled across Bitcoin and then I learned that there were many other cryptocurrencies through http:// coinmarketcap.com . I then found the alternative crypto community who were doing some very interesting developments - experimenting with new features and trying to improve on Bitcoin, through this I learned about trading and vetting projects, Computer Science, technological development and business development. I think these projects provide unique opportunities and insights into financial markets and technology that people have never seen before.

What were your motives behind creating ICOcountdown.com?

Ethereum was very successful because it took core concepts which many cryptographers have talked about for a while and implemented them. Nick Szabo was the first person talking about smart contracts so it is very interesting that they take a deep cryptographic approach and historical Computer Science approach - then they understood it and implemented it. Marketing also made is very successful. The team travelled to different conferences and explained it to many different industries, which I believe is important technology of course is very important but marketing is what sells your product.

What are you thoughts on WAVES and it's ICO? I like WAVES, I think it has extreme potential to be a top project in the ecosystem. Sadly NXT is unrealised technology, why it never broke out I’m not sure - I think it is potentially due to marketing. I like the WAVES approach because they are actually targeting business and there are use cases for this technology in the real world. They are pursuing a popular market - which is Crowdfunding right now, they definitely have the people to be a great startup and a technology - they must have learned a lot from NXT. They need to keep awareness and marketing up to a very good standard I think. This is one of the most important things right now to gain more exposure, if they do it correctly I think they could be potentially as big as Ethereum.


Tua-Chain Report.

Tau-Chain is a very interesting project because it is a natural hedge against Ethereum. Instead of using turing complete programming language it uses a different side of computer science - it uses decidability instead of expressibility meaning that it is created to be a more secure platform than Ethereum. Tau-Chain believes that Turing complete programming languages can have vulnerabilities and be exploited because you can basically write and do anything on them. Other nodes then have to run these smart contracts so there is a problem with exploitation in Turing complete smart contracts. Tau-Chain uses discernible inputs and is able to check how and in which ways code is executing, thus you are able to isolate problems with it. The network is also malleable and has self defining abilities meaning that you can change the network without actually forking it, so it can be developed upon and changed as time goes on, rules on the network can also be changed. There is also context separation in Tau meaning that you only have to run the code that you want to run, compared with Ethereum where all nodes have to run smart contract code to verify it. Tau-Chain is one of my favourite projects because it is highly undervalued and does not have much exposure, but it’s ability to change the world can be quite vast. This application can be used as a decentralised Github and can also be used to do inherent security checks on all types of software, it can also be interfaced with other protocols like Bitcoin. The scope of the project is big - the developers are all long time Computer https://github.com/naturalog/tauchain

They have also done work and code checking (security checking) on other projects including Ethereum. In my personal opinion it is a great project to look into if you want to be involved in new and upcoming technology that can be a game changer in the crypto landscape, the team is extremely dedicated and have been working on this project for a very long time. They are also very friendly and approachable people, I think anyone can learn a lot from them. https://github.com/naturalog/tauchain They are also working on another project currently - that aims to send routers into outer space, with this they hope to decentralise the inherent architecture of the internet. This project will be realised after Tau-Chain is released and I’m very excited for all this new technology to come out because it will be different from many other projects and great to play with.

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.

An Excerpt From The SuperNET & NXT Annual Report

Role of Financial Privacy BitcoinDark is a disrupting digital currency platform which aims to fulfill the original objectives of digital currency: decentralization and anonymity. In other words, it includes all the essential features that are understood to be vital for a fully functional digital currency. For people to be in full control of their own money, it has to be decentralized. Centralization, in the form of the current banking system, treats the money you deposit in your account as belonging to the bank and you as an unsecured creditor which means that “your money”, whilst in your bank account, is not, legally speaking, “your money”, it is the bank's money and therefore at risk of being lost due to fraud, bank administrative/speculative incompetence or even to being confiscated in a Cyprus-style “bail in”. By contrast, the money you entrust to a decentralized, cryptographically secured network really is “your money” and no one else's; moreover it's safe from outside attack. Financial privacy and anonymity are basic human freedoms and vital for a truly free and well-functioning society. The hallmark of such a society is that the government fears the people: "When the people fear the government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty." (Thomas Jefferson) Such a society can only exist where people have the freedom to speak, assemble, and transact with each other using a monetary system that is private and incorruptible. Privacy has been built into the BitcoinDark's core from the ground up. A truly private money needs both privacy and usage, as without usage you cannot get effective privacy. The network needs to have a high volume of internal activity. BitcoinDark is developing applications that will make full use of its network and thus secure its privacy through increased volume. For any business, privacy and especially financial privacy are very important as they need to protect their secrets from competitors. Thus a guarantee of privacy will be high on a business's shopping list of requirements when looking for a digital currency platform to use. No business can operate privately using Bitcoin's pseudonymous network: with very little effort anyone can find out what its expenses are and how much profit it's making. Espionage is a real problem, not just between businesses, but also at the (intra) governmental level. A great

37


deal of money is spent trying to protect and discover business secrets. Sending money through a centralized party will soon be seen as involving an unacceptable risk to security and privacy. Moreover, as the Nxt and SuperNET platforms become more fully operational, they'll each start to offer a distinct competitive edge over whatever may be the centralized alternatives, and the commercial imperative on businesses to start using them will therefore become increasingly irresistible. In SuperNET, the features are not operational yet, though most of them have already been coded. For them to come online a number of other technologies need to exist first. Those technologies are in development and will form part of the overall ecosystem. Removing the security threats Through technologies called ‘teleport’ and ‘telepathy’ BitcoinDark has made totally anonymous transactions possible. Unlike all other anonymity coins, BitcoinDark does not use mixing or ring signatures to achieve anonymity. Instead of simply trying to minimise privacy threats as much as possible, BitcoinDark has been able to remove them altogether with a combination of simple and elegant solutions. Teleport allows you to send money in a way that makes it very hard to track your IP address. It is done through a trustless and decentralized offblockchain exchange mechanism. Telepathy on the other hand will allow users to send data without the need to know each other's IP addresses. Furthermore, the transactions are end-to-end encrypted and not linked to each other. There is no exact time when a transaction happens and the transactions will use standard denominations. Transactions cannot be linked. In the bitcoin blockchain all the transactions are linked to each other, and if you know the owner of a wallet, you are able to trace his transactions back in time. This is avoided in teleport by using one-time addresses called telepods. Each address is used only once, so its impossible to link it to any other part of the network. This approach was recommended by Satoshi, but very few bitcoin users seem to follow that advice in practice. Through a timing attack, someone could find out exactly when a transaction happened. BitcoinDark counters this by introducing random delays and allowing the recipient to decide when he moves the money he has received in the telepod. IP address detection. In order to combat industrial espionage or government surveillance it's important to hide the fact that you are conducting a transaction in the first place. Instead of submitting a


transaction directly to the network, the privacy-server encrypts it multiple times and passes it through several other nodes first. That technique is known as onion routing, which is used by other applications such as TOR. In a mantissa attack you are identified because of the exact size of your transaction. That makes your transaction distinctive among others and it is easy to spot you on the blockchain. To remove this threat the telepods use standard denominations, i.e. 100, 50, 10, 5, 1 and so on.

In the 'last mile' problem the recipient of a message is exposed. BitcoinDark solves this problem through a feature called telepathy. It allows nodes in the network to communicate without knowing the IP address of the recipient. Transactions are sent to a 'dead-drop' address which is seen by multiple parties. No one knows who exactly is the recipient, other than the recipient himself. This is because the transaction is encrypted and only the recipient can decode it. Ramchains Through technology called a ramchain, any blockchain can be loaded into RAM. Compared to a hard drive this makes extremely fast search operations possible. In other words, it allows fast random access queries of the essential blockchain information, while keeping resource usage to a minimum. A blockchain requires a large storage space. Through ramchain technology it is possible to reduce the size of a blockchain considerably. It is done by including only the most important information rather than the whole blockchain. Normally the coin daemons can be very slow when responding to requests, particularly in historical processing and in pattern searches. Ramchain solves this by providing lightweight files that can be accessed directly without sending a request to the coin daemon. One of the use cases is to boost performance and speed in Multigateway operations. Essentially, ramchains will be very valuable for any service that depends on blockchain information. For example, Bitcoin's blockchain will take only 15 GB of hard drive space instead of the current 50 GB. Another example is to scan an entire blockchain for all transactions with a pattern “777� in their addresses . Results would be delivered in seconds.

39


Iguana Iguana is a one-click chrome application, currently under development. It allows direct integration of BitcoinDark and its applications without any reliance on public nodes. Iguana utilizes the ramchains' technology and it will talk directly with other coin networks. The first generation coins can be run as full nodes. Through this application anyone with a phone can use these services easily. It is the gateway to the whole ecosystem. Iguana solves one of the problems people generally see with Bitcoin: the size of the blockchain is growing exponentially. Right now it is about 50 GB and in 6 to 9 months from now it will be around 100 GB. With Iguana, the blockchain will grow linearly rather than exponentially and therefore people can continue to run their own local Bitcoin nodes. Iguana's strongest feature is the ability to install SuperNET's applications with one click. It is designed to enable all the services offered by SuperNET to be used across all devices and operating systems. Ease of adoption is of course a fundamental pre-requi site for success.

My name is Cascrypto, and this is the story of how I became a computer moron (nerd) and a traveller of time. I was just your nondescript regular average bloke trying my best, albeit unsuccessfully to make an unusual mark on the world, until my meeting with Roberto T.M (the Mad Programmer, who makes Dr Frankenstein look like the poster boy for Sanity). It was on a Friday night, it started off just like any other. I was out by myself to get a drink after being through a very hectic week. After my third jeneva, I suddenly had this dark feeling of boredom, so I decided to try something different from my usual weekend routine. I paid for my drinks, caught a cab to the train station, and headed to the Red District of Amsterdam. In hindsight, going to the Red District was probably a wrong move (or a very good one depending on your angle of perception), because that decision changed everything. I hung out by the bar, drinking heavily and dancing under it influence, smoking marijuana and flirting with a female attendant named Marit. It seemed a good night, and it promised to turn out even better if I could just get Marit to the dark alley behind the clubhouse. I made a mental check of my wallet to confirm that I still had some condoms. Marit is an attractive lady, but I doubt there will be anything exciting about waking up one morning to a baby in a basket on my doorstep. Marit with her huge bosom and generous waist looks like a very fertile one I’m not ready to be a father yet, so a guy has got to check up on his protection. She sauntered past me a couple of times making sure her ample bosom jiggled enough to make a priest question his faith, but it was a busy night, Marit wasn’t going to get away from the bar anytime soon, and I had to take my leave eventually. In my drunken state, I had to run to the train station to catch the train as it was getting too late, even in Amsterdam. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it in time to get a train ticket before the train’s departure, so I decided to do something stupid and board the train without a ticket. I was excited, yet nervous; this is the biggest adventure I had ever embarked upon although it didn’t feel right. I was travelling on the train without paying. I was scared yet it was a great feeling, there was this thrill of knowing the train inspector could catch me, my veins would freeze, I couldn’t explain it. After travelling for about a quarter of an hour, I saw the train inspector coming towards me, and the excitement and thrill turned to fear and trepidation, the next station was still way off, and I could get arrested for being a stowaway. I prayed for the train to go faster but prayer didn’t seem enough. It was the longest 10 minutes of my life.

The inspector came into my c opening the carriage window, climb out onto the ledge and without thinking. At that mo life flashed before me, I kn before I hit the ground that forever, and I was right. As mind-numbing pain, like all everyone had ever suffered, moment; everything went dark

Marit’s face came to my mind, what if I had stayed back and tried to score with her? Maybe I wouldn’t be in this situation; it was series of depressing thoughts. When I got out of the hospital, I became a loner, a computer moron. This train jump did not only make me a humpback but also made me lose my zest for living. What is the point if I can’t take a walk on a boulevard without a stick and just take a random girl home to pile drive her to oblivion, what is the point if I can’t take my friend’s Porsche for a spin and pretend it’s mine to pick up chicks? Which girl would have sex with a man looking like a dromedary, she might as well take to bestiality. What is the point of it all? Well, it could be worse, I could have two humps and look like a camel and not a dromedary, optimism as bloody as hell set in. I need to use a colourful rainbow stick before I can walk now, and since my rainbow stick only works when there is a significant amount of dopamine secreted in my brain. I decided to do something about it; I can’t live this way, I will just waste away. So I spent years learning to program while interacting simultaneously in forums, with my hand tucked in my sweatpants drinking tea and coffee. I tried to code a black wormhole which will help me open a hole to travel into the future so I could find a cure to my bad leg and hump or even going back in time to warn myself before jumping from the train. That was the only way I could restore my old life, and I was determined to do it.


I lived in near isolation devoting over 11 years of my life to this research; developing a program to help find the location of the nearest black wormhole, but it just didn’t work, until one day I went to a chat room on the dark net and started talking with a certain Roberto Transpotime21bus master. Roberto told me about his Time Bus Machine, and that he was also trying to code a black wormhole to teleport his bus to the future in the right space in time, I saw this as an instant opportunity presenting itself to me. Roberto may be a crazy genius, but he was God sent. Our meeting could not have been a coincidence; we were both trying to change the world, and we were both trying to change our lives by altering time using different methods but without success. It is my firm believe that nothing happens by accident, and my meeting with Roberto was definitely not one, from our discussions we both discovered that the interaction of both codes combined could open a black wormhole; we have definitely taken a step closer to our trip to the future. That moment was the best time of my life, seemingly; the moment for which I’ve lived for. We have a dream, and we are not going to end our battle with time, not now that we’ve gotten this close. We started making plans to fuse both codes together, Roberto’s Brilliant Impossible Brain and my Intellectual Computer Moron Brain; the perfect combination. It was common knowledge in the black wormhole coding community that there are some invisible inactive black wormholes in Europe, and they exist in a couple of places in Amsterdam; the challenge was locating them with one of our wormhole scanners and activate them, and our search was about to be over. The fusion of both codes was supposed to work like an invisible black light that will search out the location of the nearest black wormhole. Roberto had been preparing for this moment since his teenage years, unlike me, that was thrown into the research due to circumstances. Roberto had also built a Time Bus Machine made of radiation resistant materials to protect everyone on their passage through the black wormhole. The bus was made with the same nanotechnology used to make radiation suits but was adapted to integrate into steel and aluminium materials, he had been ready for a long time, and my code was the missing part of the jigsaw, this made me feel really special.

to me, according to Roberto, my computer moron brain will be better suited to this endeavour, and he had an excellent idea on how I should go about it. Roberto believed that if we could just code and locate another black wormhole that would help us travel back in time while the other wormhole remains inactive throughout the process, then we might just find a way to prevent a paradox whenever we travel. It was imperative that I started this task immediately because it was the only thing stopping us from completing our Transpotime21bus crew. The Transpotime21bus has spaces for twenty-one occupants; we already had eighteen: fourteen humans (myself included), three robots and a cyborg. We would fill g but the codes refused to the remaining three seats only with people who have tears and frustration in had some terrible experiences in the past they would sorry for him, even more need fixing.

Influx AutoSwap Whitepaper Released

The Influx Team have released the Whitepaper for the upcoming feature, AutoSwap. The feature is relatively similar to services such as coinomat and Shapeshift, however, the difference is it uses SuperNET's MGW. MGW is "is a third party service developed on top of the NXT network that allows you to move crypto-currencies in and out of the NXT Asset Exchange, the peer-to-peer exchange that offers decentralized trading with no trading fees. To see the coins currently supported by MGW, jump to Supported Coins." Each asset on MGW is backed 1 for 1 within three multisignature addresses. The Influx team owns one of the servers, the other two by SuperNET. The Influx whitepaper shows clearly the process of how the swap occurs using the MGW network. This AutoSwap service will reduce the process of swapping from BTC to Influx from 4 steps to just 1 step. An intelligent arbitrage bot is used in order to process trades. While there are other coins on the MGW, Influx is the first coin to seek the services of SuperNET's MGW. The MGW has long been one of cryptocurrencies best kept secrets. This is, again, showing once again that the Influx team are ahead of the pack in terms of innovation. Influx is "a X11 algorithm based coin with no pre-mine using a Pow+Pos Hybrid backend and designed specifically for CPU/GPU setups. Everything you see about INFX is owned and operated by the INFX team." If you would like to view the whitepaper, proceed to https://influxcoin.xyz/autoswap-white-paper-v-0-4/
