BTCOR NEWS
btcor aquisitions BTCOR made three significant purchases this month, Cryptofund, Skynet and MMNXT.
MMNXT ID: 979292558519844732 Our first purchase was for MMNXT, a market making and arbitrage fund for the NXT asset exchange as well as providing liquidity for NXT on popular centralized exchanges. MMNXT is currently at a low due to the slow activity on the NXT asset exchange however BTCOR remains bullish that this is only temporary. As SuperNet starts to spread its wings we believe the NXT asset exchange will see more volume in the future. BTCOR purchased 50,000 MMNXT and may in the future add more. Dividends received weekly from MMNXT will contribute to the BTCOR end of the month dividend.
BTCOR believes that Skynet will have a huge impact for NXT as a whole and it will come as no surprise that additional Skynet assets will probably be bought in the future.
Cryptofund ID: 5562590132594876791 Last of all was our acquisition of coinomat’s cryptofund. BTCOR took full advantage of the asset swap proposed by coinomat. 15,000 EIX and 2,754 MMBTCD were swapped for 39,979 cryptofund. BTCOR now officially owns 4% of this asset. We believe this asset has some real promise and room for growth. Additional purchases this month were 1,250 Pangea Poker, 892 NXTprivacy, 9.39 SuperNet and 2.3 SuperNetx2. BTCOR's portfolio is publicly available here
Skynet ID: 6854596569382794790
NXT-NUEG-HFEQ-NU9Z-72KUS.
Our second purchase was Skynet. Skynet is one branch of the SuperNet which combines powerful AI technology with the blockchain. This technology will uses historical data in order to predict future markets. Indications over slack and twitter show that the Skynet project is getting close to release and as a result BTCOR purchased an extra 500 assets.
INDEXREV DIVIDEND Along with the 4% purchase of coinomat’s cryptofund asset was a nice little surprise. 5% of the new asset IndexRev were issued to cryptofund holders. Now BTCOR owns 0.33% of IndexRev for free! https://nxtforum.org/cryptoasset-fund-projects/indexproject-asset/

BTCOR NEWS MX BECOMES CO-DIRECTOR OF BTCOR From the very beginning of BTCOR, Mx has had a close relationship with house in regards to discussing the direction of BTCOR as a whole. Mx is a trusted member of BTCOR and we are all delighted to see him rise through the ranks to become co-director along side house. He had this to say about it: “I am more than happy and honoured to announce that I was propositioned today and agreed to be Co-Director of BTCOR. I deeply believe that this will continue to be a great partnership built on hard work, trust, skills, and experience and that we can bring great success with all the brilliant minds involved together within our community. We have a long and fruitful journey ahead of us with all things coming in the near future together with our personal plans, planned development, cooperations and with a very big possibility of injecting personal business into BTCOR in some safe form for everyone. As of today I have been granted access to all BTCOR accounts. Thank you all for the support! All the best!” NXTER.ORG DONATION
BTCOR has generously donated 250 CORE to nxter.org. NXTER is doing fantastic work covering NXT and SuperNet news. We appreciate the fantastic work they are doing and we strongly encourage you to go and check out their website. BTCOR have in the past also donated 250 CORE to the BTCD foundation and have donated 1000 to the NXT foundation. BTCOR will always be looking for opportunities to help the NXT community as a whole. ASSET SWAP SUCCESS
At the beginning of September BTCOR ambitiously changed the complete structure of its asset. The overall asset swap was a success with only a very limited number of sell orders after the initial swap. BTCOR had been originally separated into five different assets, BTCAR, SVCAR, GDCAR, FIATX and the umbrella asset BTCOR. Now all five have been combined into one super asset named CORE. While some conversations may have been better than others, it is clear that every conversion benefited from the swap and everyone's portfolio increased in value. BTCOR has never been as diversified as it is now. Every CORE asset is now backed by real gold, silver, bitcoin and USD. We hope you, our investors, are happy with our changes. Remember, for those who have not sent in your old BTCOR assets, send them to NXT-T4BJ-M2B6-9LHP-8YG77 immediately before October the 1st so you can receive your dividend. Just make sure that after you send us your old BTCOR assets that you don’t proceed to send us all your CORE assets as well like EIX did. Don’t worry, we sent them all back!

ARTICLE
The relationship between Government and the People is representative of the relationship between Ego and the Soul.
When you are ‘sovereign’ from a soul perspective you take responsibility for what happens in the NOW and are liable for the thoughts that arise around the events that unfold before you. The brain becomes the servant (trustee) of your soul (beneficiary) and nurtures and supports based on love, joy and harmony. The soul came before the mind and cannot exist without the soul. A split title Trust/Equity relationship exists as the Brain is indeed needed to navigate life on Earth. The sovereign soul assumes liability for what happens here on Earth and takes responsibility. The Ego can be a trickster and can turn the tables on the Soul if the soul does not stay awake. The Ego blames earthly circumstances (symptoms) on everything negative that arises, thus creating a victim reality. The Ego knows that negative perspective is the only way to stay in control, so more and more negative reality occurs. At anytime, the Soul can resume responsibility, thus rendering the Brain for it's intended purpose as a neuro-linguistic-psycho-cybernetic process that utilizes the body to BE and DO as a vehicle to experience life on Earth in the NOW time. When you are ‘sovereign’ from a society perspective you take responsibility for what happens in the NOW and are liable for the actions that arise around the events that unfold before you. Wisdom becomes the servant (trustee) of society (beneficiary) and nurtures and supports based on love, joy and harmony. The people came before government and cannot exist without the people. A split title Trust/ Equity relationship exists as Wisdom is indeed needed to navigate life on Earth. A sovereign society assumes liability for what happens here on Earth and takes responsibility. Government can be a trickster and can turn the tables on Society if society does not stay awake. Government blames earthy circumstances (symptoms) on everything negative that arises, thus creating a victim reality. Government knows that negative perspective is the only way to stay in control, so more and more negative occurs. At anytime, the Soul can resume responsibility, thus rendering Wisdom for it's intended purpose as a 3D-holographic-choreographer for the movie called 'Experience Life on Earth'. While EGO is in control with the Soul as a slave, life is constantly in strife and the body is perpetually sick. There is no such thing as abundance and prosperity. By definition, feeding the EGO (negative) your energy cannot produce positive results. While Government is in control with Society as a slave, life on earth is constantly in strife and the people are perpetually sick. There is no such thing as abundance and prosperity. By definition, feeding the Government your money (representative of your energy) cannot produce positive results. In the mind of one who is free there is no attachment to thoughts. Thoughts stop having control over you. The mind derives it's power from awareness. In a free society there is no attachment to government. Government stops having control over you. Government derives it's power from the people. It is the nature and disposition of EGO to amass unbridled power. It is the nature and disposition of Government to amass unbridled power. Once you have freed your mind from EGO, it's time to free the bodies from Government. Written by Damon

InstantDEX BETA Release Finally! After many months of patiently waiting InstantDEX has finally been officially released. This release gives users the ability to trade popular cryptocurrencies using all the available information from multiple online exchanges. However as this is a BETA release, it must be said that the main focus is to find bugs. InstantDEX is not ready for mass release until all bugs are eliminated. Below there will be a tutorial for installing InstantDEX. Make sure you only use small amounts of money for your trades. New InstantDEX forum: http://forum.instantdex.org/ A great followup article is https://bitscan.com/articles/bitcoindarkintegrates-instantdex-decentralised-trading-engine

Sleuth Asset Sleuth ID: 4174874835406708311 Coming from a long line of developer assets comes the Sleuth asset. These assets are designed to support developers that help develop different components of SuperNET. As a reward for completing such tasks these developers receive bounties in the form of SuperNET assets. Developer cryptosleuth has been working day and night on the InstantDEX GUI and as stated above is very close to completion. All bounties will pass through the sleuth asset. As cryptosleuth has proven to be a competent hard working developer, this asset is definitely worth a look. He also plans to complete other projects by the end of the year.
NXT 1.7 Anticipation “This release will however be called 1.7, because in the meantime we are preparing another major release which must be numbered 1.6, upgrade to which will be optional and will not require a hard fork. The main features that will go into this 1.6 release are account ledger (you will finally be able to see the received dividend payments in the client), peer services (being able to fetch expired prunable data from peers that archive them), and asset deletion (which until the 1.7 hardfork will still use an asset transfer transaction internally, to be compatible with 1.5 nodes)."

Coinomat Crypto Asset Fund The man behind the instant cryptocurrency exchange service, coinomat.com, released a new NXT asset by the name of “Cryptoasset fund”. This asset will service as an umbrella asset incorporating all ventures coinomat takes part in. Currently the asset holds 240,000 coinomat1, 40,000 EIX, 90,000 MMBTCD and 700,000 MMNXT. The MMNXT are sleeping until the price rises to 2. Also, three assets will be added in time including Forkpay.net (merchant plugin for chrome/firefox, based on Coinomat API), Morze.us (cryptomessenger for open communication channels, supporting value transfer in the form of custom vouchers. Based on Coinomat API) and Crypto DNS project (website will be online soon, DNS server plugin and domain registration system on blockchain. The service will sell amd register custom crypto domains (such as .bit and .nxt) on Namecoin and NXT blockchains and will provide DNS server to resolve them (like google's 8.8.8.8). The IPO is still being offered at 10 nxt each, there is also an asset swap in progress. Join slack for details.
Shylock From coinomat... “New project in our portfolio is shylock.io! It is being launched together with Twinwinnerd who has extensive experience with p2p lending at Bitcointalk. This is going to be a fully automated crypto pawnshop, where you will be able to borrow funds providing crypto assets as collateral. For example, you hold Supernet asset and expect it to rise soon. You spot a promising new coin and want to invest in it, but have no BTC. You can get a collateralized loan, by depositing your Supernet asset with shylock.io and receiving BTC in exchange. When you, hopefully, make profits with the coin you return the BTC with interest and get your Supernet asset back. The monthly interest will be in the range of 3-5%, and that's where the profits of the project come from.” Also, as stated on SuperNet slack, “AE assets and top 20 coins by market cap will be accepted as collateral." This is a very interesting project and BTCOR intends following this project closely Here for more info, https://nxtforum.org/cryptoasset-fund-projects/%28ann%29shylock-io-fully-automated-collateralized-lending-platform-ico/

JL777 posts on BTCtalk about Jumblr “I am not sure if this is the right place to post about this, but this weekend I wrote a SuperNET agent which implements the coinshuffle (http://crypsys.mmci. uni-saarland.de/projects/CoinShuffle/coinshuffle.pdf) using realtime offchain broadcast packets. Once there are enough participants, the privacy achieved will be close to using bitmessage for mixing, eg very, very good. You need to have a bitcoin RPC available locally and at no time do you lose control of your funds. I searched, but I could not find any other decentralized bitcoin mixer, so maybe mine is the first? Since there are no servers to manage, the costs are low, but it does use the network and so I set the fee at 0.1%. This allows many rounds of shuffling for the same cost as the centralized mixers without any third party risk. This all came together so fast (https://github.com/jl777/btcd/blob/master/ libjl777/plugins/agents/shuffle777.c) it doesnt even have a name yet! I am looking for people to help test this and also to market this service. It is implemented as a meta-exchange called "shuffle" within InstantDEX, but it really is a totally different type of function and it works with bitcoins or any bitcoin fork without any changes needed. To go from the low level API to a usable service, I think the following things are needed: 1. Name | 2. GUI | 3. Testing | 4. Marketing I hope to find people that can help as the only thing I can do well is write C code. James”
Coinoutlet and It’s use of the NXT blockchain
Eric Grill from Coin Outlet featured in the Transmission 47 and he discussed how they are using the NXT blockchain for its messaging service on their ATMs. Eric spoke about many cryptocurrencies however NXT seemed to get particular praise. Eric described using NXT for its messaging service as “surprisingly easy”.

Nautiluscoin integration to the NXT blockchain
Powered by the Drachmae Project, the alternative cryptocurrency named Nautiluscoin became fully integrated into the NXT blockchain on September 26th . All coin swaps will be powered by the NXT foundation. The idea behind this ambitious project is to create a fully functional cryptocurrency ecosystem built for the Greek island of Agistri. In the future the Drachmae Project will begin to focus on other micro-economies within Latin America and Africa. Hopefully, this becomes a growing trend and we see more micro economies using NXT as the backend. For more information go to the link below. http://nxter.org/nxt-to-power-a-full-economic-ecosystem-with-drachmaenautiluscoin-nxt-foundation-brian-kelly/
NXT takes part in Barclay’s FinTech forum On the 15th of September, a NXT representative featured at a FinTech forum which was hosted by Barclays Bank. Blockchain technology played an integral part in the forum and it was great to see NXT involved in such an important event.

AUDIOCOIN
AudioCoin Interview http://www.audiocoin.eu/
Tell us about your team's background. Ken has been involved with the music business for a while having had a label for about the last 10 years. Kens background is marketing and particularly digital marketing and therefore Aurovine was a natural progression for him. Having worked with Mark at his current place of work which is also an online business they teamed up to create Aurovine as an alternative to the current system in the music industry – giving the power back to the artist. Mark has been developer for many years and has also been successful at setting up previous online businesses and so between them they created Aurovine. Dave Blundell had worked in the music industry with Ken for a number of years embarking on various joint projects and with his industry and A&R knowledge came on board to help market and develop the business. Tom Kerswill is the latest member of the team who has real pedigree on both the development side and on the music side hosting his own show for unsigned talent in a local Manchester community radio station. He and Mark are developing the back end development of the business.
In around 200 words, how would you describe AudioCoin and Aurovine, and how do they complement each other? Aurovine was set up to help unsigned and independent artists deal directly with their audience and be fairly rewarded for their creative content. This alternative process means the middle men are cut out of the process and the real rewards are enjoyed by those who make the content and not by those who simply contractually obtain the content to be used for their own gains of their choice. Audiocoin came a little later down the line but was the perfect compliment to what Aurovine is trying to achieve as this is a payment system that also cuts out the middle man and allows the artist and music fan to not only contact directly but do business and pay directly to artist (and all stakeholders) in a completely transparent fashion. This is now more commonly referred to as Blockchain technology. It’s a real marriage made in Heaven.
12
AUDIOCOIN How did you get involved with cryptocurrency? Ken was the main driving force in using this as he was an avid user and believer in the Bitcoin. The Audiocoin is simply based on the Bitcoin protocol and the reasons for doing so are very clear. The only obstacle is that it is a very young technology that the music industry is slowly picking up. This will take time but will be worth it as it turns the whole industry on its head……….for the better!
How do you see the state of the music industry? The music industry is in a state of flux but as is most industries following the world recession circa 2008. The world has changed and money seems to be a lot tighter for everyone bar the elite. The world has to look to alternative and more fair ways of distributing wealth and the Audiocoin is part of that proposed new system. The banking world hasn’t changed the way it’s done business for over 300 years and I think people will no longer stand for it so I believe as technology advances, and it will continue to advance, brand new ways of doing business will eventually emerge across all verticals. The Audiocoin is just one currency for one particular vertical but we hope to spark a new paradigm of thinking. The music industry is definitely one of many industries that needs a new way of doing things and therefore this is a great time to be involved. The industry is in flux but the opportunity is huge. But as with anything worth pursuing – it takes time and patience and a strong disposition for the fight that lies ahead.
What are your team's favourite bands or artists? I have followed Depeche mode for 25 years and you only need to look at their story throughout all that time and before to understand the changes that have happened in the industry. A pioneering band who broke the technological barriers with the way they created and recorded music, Aurovine seems to have been an obvious way to go for me.

INSTANTDEX
Centralised exchanges vs Decentralised exchanges Does everyone remember that day when Mt.Gox was allegedly hacked and lost approximately 400 million US dollars. This event in itself caused shockwaves around the world. People began to lose faith in cryptocurrency, how on earth could a website holding millions of dollars worth of bitcoins be compromised to a small group of hackers? I remember talking with my friends about the issue, with their limited knowledge on the bitcoin ecosystem they came to the conclusion bitcoin was hacked. Those who understand bitcoin know it was the centralised exchange which was compromised, not bitcoin itself. However, I let my friends off the hook remembering bitcoin is not an easy concept to grasp. The following year we saw a wave of hacks, Bitstamp lost 5 millions US dollars and BTER lost 1.75 million just to name a few. Bitcoin continued its downward trend and onlookers could only shake their heads. How could these centralized exchanges have such little security?
10
INSTANTDEX INSTANTDEX ID: 15344649963748848799. So what is a centralised exchange? A centralised exchange is a website where an exchange takes place in digital form. For example, you are holding USD and you want to buy some bitcoins. You would make a funds transfer to a centralised exchange and once that exchange received your USD you could convert that USD into bitcoins at that day's conversation rate. The vast majority of readers should be aware of this process. What some users may not know is, if you have any money on a centralised exchange, whether it be USD or bitcoin, that money could potentially be stolen at any moment. There are two ways your money can be stolen. Either a hacker bypasses the security on the website to steal your money, or the owners of the website itself steal the money themselves. Users who are diligent and remove their money from the exchanges quickly will have no problems 99.9% of the time, however, those who leave money on exchanges for extended periods of time (months, years) could have their money stolen. This is a huge problem. In fact, it will affect even the average user. If hackers are regularly stealing money from exchanges this affects the price and liquidity of all cryptocurrencies. Liquidity in simple terms is price stability. In order for the price of cryptocurrencies to be stable there needs to be a large volume of trade. If users are too afraid to put money onto the exchange for long periods of time then the volume of cryptocurrencies on the exchange decreases. The result is large price fluctuations. In conclusion, the current centralised exchanges are not ideal for high volumes of trade. That brings us to InstantDEX, which is a trustless decentralised exchange. Upon release, users will be able safely make transactions without the risk of money being taken by hackers or the exchange itself. The mastermind behind this technology is the highly respected coder known as James Lee (jl777). The initial release of InstantDEX will be geared towards professional traders, however, in the works are other services which will make it easy for the average user to take advantage of such an important service. In later issues I will go into some of the technical details of how this all works. InstantDEX is now in it’s beta stage and users are currently finding bugs before its major release. BTCOR believes that InstantDEX will make a huge impact on the cryptocurrency community and we own a moderate amount of InstantDEX assets. Alternatively InstantDEX assets can also be bought on the NXT asset exchange. By 3rdStryker

HONORABLE MENTIONS
Quote of the Month “Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker. Expose your ideas to the dangers of controversy. Speak your mind and fear less the label of 'crackpot' than the stigma of conformity. And on issues that seem important to you, stand up and be counted at any cost. � - Thomas J. Watson Jr.
