TEMCO and Hexlant established a partnership to facilitate the development of the TEMCO business model, the world’s first Bitcoin-based supply-chain data platform utilizing Bitcoin Smart Contract(RSK) technology.
Through this partnership, TEMCO and Hexlant will focus on the development of a crypto-wallet that supports RRC-20 Tokens.
CEO of Hexlant, Jinwoo Ro mentioned, “There are not a lot of companies that support RSK wallet, so I want to cooperate with TEMCO to make RSK technology more available to the world.”
TEMCO’s CEO, Scott Yoon stated that “From this partnership, TEMCO team is looking forward to working closely with Hexlant, which is well known for contributing technological support to SK planet’s “Syrup Wallet” and token sale platform such as Token Bank.”

Scott also stated, “TEMCO team is glad that Hexlant will contribute Bitcoin Smart Contract ecosystem by developing RRC-20 hot wallet, which is an essential part of TEMCO’s business model.”
Hexlant supports the technological development of Syrup Wallet and operates Token Bank, in which TEMCO team successfully finished 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Pre-Sale event.
Syrup Wallet is one of the highest downloaded reward apps in South Korea, reaching over 20 million downloads. Through Hexlant’s technological aid, Syrup Wallet is able to support deposits and withdrawals of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and RSK. Soon, Syrup Wallet will also support TEMCO Tokens to enable actual purchases, such as buying coffee, and various everyday items. https://www.temco.io/

Fisco cryptocurrency exchange (FCCE) has completed the acquisition process of Zaif cryptocurrency exchange’s business operations.
Zaif was a licensed exchanged operated by Tech Bureau and had undergone some major shifts in ownership favoring Fisco exchange’s bailout funds leading to the acquisition. The process began in October.
The acquisition was initiated due to a lack of sufficient funds in Zaif’s asset reserve following a hack that took place in September, where USD 60 million worth of cryptocurrencies were stolen from its hot wallet. To offset this debt, in an agreement, Zaif reached out to Japan-listed firm called Fisco to receive a USD 44.5 million investment in exchange for a major share of ownership. However, this bailout has turned out to be a buyout event.
Tech Bureau has now officially handed over the proceedings of the exchange and FCCE will begin assumption of responsibilities with compensation proceedings to begin at the end of the month.
For Tech Bureau, plans to dissolve the company and retire from cryptocurrency industry for good have been set. This was revealed in a statement provided to the press, where the company said, “We will abolish the registration of our virtual currency exchange and plan to dissolve.”
No information regarding the resumption of trading activities on the Zaif exchange has been provided yet.
So far this year, more than ten cryptocurrency related acquisitions have occurred. While cryptocurrency mergers and acquisitions (M&A) has trended this year, most have been attributed to greater exposure of Bitcoin and blockchain enterprise. Unfortunately, in this case, the inability for Tech Bureau to offset the debts due to the hack has been the cause of this acquisition.

Crypto market develops, and the number of users working on it is growing every month. Unfortunately, already now many customers face serious difficulties in the transactions of coins. Those who work with bitcoin are particularly unhappy. They are forced to spend not only time for translation, which now can reach about two days, but also pay considerable commissions for the provision of transaction services.
The cost of transactions of coins is calculated individually by each service, and users have to choose cheapest. However, even in this case, customers still have to pay transfer fees. Even in the event of payment of commission fees, users have no confidence that payment will be made on time. Often cases had to wait several weeks after the commission fees were paid in full.
Therefore, special accelerators began to develop. They make it possible to increase the speed of the transfer, although it will have to pay again for this. However, for those who do not like to wait, this is a possible way out of the situation, so as not to wait for transactions days. This is especially important for those users who work with companies and carry out transactions.
Those who do not want to pay any commissions can make transactions for free. However, several conditions must be observed for this. The transfers must have a high priority, it must be more than 0.01 bitcoin or another crypto currency. In addition, the size of the transaction itself should not exceed 1000 bites.
In this case, the user can count on the fact that the service will not take a commission from him. However, he will still have to wait for some time until the transfer is delivered to the addressee. Now programmers are trying to increase the bandwidth and block size of coins. This requires time and money. Therefore, users will still have to pay commissions anyway. If the client does not want to pay commissions or wants it to be very small, then he will have to work with coins that are not included in the leading coin list.
To minimize costs, you can transfer a small amount of coins, but then you will have to be patient, and then perhaps the costs will be minimal. Those users who have large deposits about this need not worry, since they initially pawn such costs in their business plans. All the rest remains either to transfer very small amounts or to look for sites where the commissions are very small, but wait a few days until a payment is made.

The original post's content was as follows:
So Bitfinex has a RSK market that trades against BTC.
https://www.bitfinex.com/posts/318
This is pretty bad as it shows that RSK tokens are not Bitcoins.
Yes there is a 1:1 peg, but now RSK/BTC trading pairs exist there will be tiny price differences. Even if there are no price differences the fact that you can now trade into RSK from Bitcoin on an exchange makes it clear that the two tokens are separate tokens, even though a 1:1 peg exists.
This means that if you want to move Bitcoin into RSK for faster transactions/smart contracts/etc... any tax office that taxes crypto to crypto transactions will also tax BTC to RSK transactions.
This tax treatment covers all USA and Australia users.
Again the tax treatment of crypto ruins yet another use case.
In my opinion, building sidechains and drivechains would have been better if the resulting token was still "BTC". Instead we have different token tickers/currency names and the tax offices (IRS/ATO) will surely see any transfer between the two as a taxable event.
Honestly I am surprised no one is considering tax implications when designing this software.
In some ways RSK seemed like a potential competitor to Ethereum, being able to run smart contracts and speed up transactions, but now it's going to be a taxable event using the peg it's utility will be reduced.
I really wish developers would discuss these implications with accountants/lawyers/etc... before shooting ourselves in the back.
I am open to anyone with a counter argument about why a tax office will let BTC -> RSK be tax free, now that an exchange has a trading pair in place.
NOTE: I am stating that the existence of a trading pair makes RSK a separate token for tax purposes. So a taxable event is triggered even if you use the peg, as the tax office will clearly state the peg is a form of acquiring RSK with BTC, as in the peg is a form of decentralized exchange.
NOTE 2: I have been unhopeful about crypto's future recently, a big reason is that almost everything that you can do with crypto triggers tax, it's going to mean that no one outside a few select people use it due to the insane tax implications of every crypto action. These pegs just make a bad problem even worse.

Unblock Community meet up in Hong Kong
Another interview was held with the COO of Mitoshi, Norman Velasco, and he took us on `a journey into his world and thoughts. Please find below the interview and enjoy as you read.
· Please tell me about the kind of family and neighborhood you grew up in.
Ans: I grew up in a nice, quiet and laidback neighborhood. Everyday was a struggle but we managed to live through it. I think this is the kind of environment that sharpens your survival skills — learned to be street smart by 9 years old and always wary of the things happening around me, mindful of every threat or opportunity. My family was a typical Roman Catholic family — we put God first in everything we do and brought up on Christian values.
COO and Co Founder of Mitoshi Norman Velasco · What inspired you to start Mitoshi?
Ans: Like any entrepreneur, we are always in search of the next big thing. I’m one of those who got early into bitcoin, hence one of those who delve studying blockchain technology and its applications. We had an eureka moment to apply this technology to lottery as we are confident that lottery has a global appeal and can achieve mass adoption.
· What are the skills you possess that makes you believe Mitoshi will thrive?
Ans: For someone like me with 20 year professional experience, I would highlight my project management and business development competence to deliver a project from start to finish — until it becomes an established operating concern.
· What was your biggest fear on the journey to this point?
Ans: That would be the market, but looks like everything is in bearish territory from stocks to cryptocurrencies.
· How many people are in Mitoshi team?
Ans: We are about 30 located in different parts of the globe from Russia, UK, Nigeria, HongKong, Indonesia and the Philippines. We are planning to enlist more for 2019 as we beef up our Business Development and Relationship Management groups
· Why did you choose Ethereum blockchain for Mitoshi?
Ans: 85% of projects are done on the ETH protocol.
· Is your smart contract ready? If yes, how secure is it?
Ans: Yes. It’s been also audited by Experfy. Kindly check our github.
· Have you ever attended any block chain event? If yes, please give us some of the ones you have attended.
Ans: Yes, Hongkong and Singapore.
· Which blockchain events do you plan to attend in the future?
Ans: We plan to be more visible in roadshows across the globe with focus on Asia and Middle East.
· Where do you see Mitoshi in the next 5 years?
Ans: I see Mitoshi to be in all the major evening news as they announce the jackpot draw of the day.
· Where is Mitoshi registered? And where is it based?
Ans: We are registered in HK.
This interview is done to show our beloved community that we are not scared to put our face out there. We hope you enjoyed reading the interview. To know more about Mitoshi, kindly visit our:

Returning from Thanksgiving holiday, US traders who braved record cold temperatures on their office commute are in a sour mood, with S&P futures sharply lower, following the latest sharp drop in Chinese stocks, where as noted earlier the Shanghai composite lost the 2,600 level, tumbling 2.5% to one month lows after the WSJ reported Trump asked allies to boycott China's telecom giant Huawei.
The news dragged Asian shares lower, while Europe was mixed after the latest disappointing PMI which saw German Manufacturing and Services miss expectations, dragging the Eurozone Manufacturing PMI to 51.5, missing expectations of a 52.0 print, a 30 month low and the weakest since print since May 2016, while the composite index tumbled to the lowest level in 4 years in November.
Contracts on the Dow, S&P and Nasdaq all pointed lower, after Chinese equities led regional declines in Asia, with the technology sector weak on concern the U.S. is ratcheting up a campaign against Huawei Technologies. The result was a sharp drop in the Shanghai Composite, which slumped to levels last seen in late October, wiping out the recent rally.
In European trading, the preliminary PMI data dented hopes of an economic rebound into year end, sparking a rally in bunds and gilts, while 10Y TSY yields dropped to session lows of 3.04% after Thursday’s Thanksgiving holiday. Euribor contracts pushed higher after officials flagged downside risks and data added to nerves ahead of the ECB’s December meeting. Meanwhile in Italy, BTPs printed fresh highs for the week on signs of a budget compromise. European equities were mixed, printing small gains after a steady open, largely ignoring trade war concerns, which weighed on Chinese stocks. Italy's FTSE MIB outperformed peers on renewed deficit discussion optimism and helping local banks rise over 1.5%. Technology and telecommunications stocks pared initial gains as equity gains are tempered by oil oversupply concerns, acting as a drag on energy/basic resources sectors
The dollar climbed and the euro reversed earlier gains as data showed German’s growth outlook weakened; the Euro slumped on renewed fears the slowing economy may delay any ECB balance sheet normalization while the pound handed back most of Thursday’s gains. In the latest Brexit news, Tory Brexiteer Iain Duncan Smith stated that the Brexit deal will be killed off by him and his Brexiteer colleagues in Parliament, while he is said to dismiss PM May’s efforts to adopt a tech solution to the Irish border problem and implied it is meaningless, according to ITV’s Peston.
Elsewhere, emerging market currencies and shares fell on renewed China trade concerns. Bitcoin declined and is on course to lose more than 20% this week.
Meanwhile, in commodities, WTI saw another sharp decline through $53, after energy minister Khalid Al-Falih said Saudi Arabia is producing oil in excess of 10.7 million barrels a day, more than in recent years, giving the strongest indication yet that the kingdom has boosted output to record levels. “We were at 10.7-something in October, and we are above that. We will know exactly when the month is over,” Al-Falih said. That said, he added that “we will not flood the market. We will not send oil that customers don’t need. And we’ve started doing that in December, and I expect we’ll continue doing that into the new year.”
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and allied producers warned earlier this month that oil markets will probably be oversupplied in 2019. Concerns that slower economic growth and a trade war could erode demand for oil are outweighing fears of potential shortages caused by U.S. sanctions on Iranian exports and supply disruptions elsewhere.
As a result, WTI has wiped out all modest gains observed in recent days, and was trading back at 1 year lows headed for its 7th weekly drop.
Falling energy prices are just one of several indicators that concern investors about the strength of global economic growth. Meanwhile, political turmoil in Europe, lingering uncertainty over a Brexit agreement and a trade war that’s engulfed the world’s biggest economies add to nervousness according to Bloomberg. Slowing growth is one of several prospects in the U.S. that may lead Federal Reserve to more caution in 2019 should they raise rates next month.
Elsewhere, base metals decline with LME copper 1% lower. EUR offered after PMIs to trade weakest levels this week, cable declines on broad USD strength.
In overnight geopolitical news, North Korea appeared to be expanding operations at its main nuclear site, according to the IAEA, while there were also reports that atomic agency inspectors are said to be demanding North Korea allow nuclear inspectors back into the country amid reactor activity concerns. China is to reportedly resume the purchase of Iranian oil in November after their waiver.
Expected data include PMIs. No major companies are scheduled to report earnings.
Market Snapshot
Top Overnight News from Bloomberg
Asian stocks traded mostly lower with sentiment in the region subdued by trade concerns and holiday-thinned conditions in the US, while Japan and India also observed public holidays. ASX 200 (+0.4%) was positive with the index supported by strength in its top-weighted financials sector amid gains in Australia’s largest banks after Macquarie pulled-off a rarity at the banking royal commission in which it emerged unscathed and with its reputation enhanced. Elsewhere, Shanghai Comp. (-2.5%) and Hang Seng (-0.4%) were negative amid ongoing trade uncertainty as China responded to the recent trade report by the US, in which it dismissed the accusations of unfair trade practices as groundless and totally unacceptable. In addition, the US called for its allies to stop using Huawei equipment and weak earnings results from Meituan Dianping in which the online service provider’s losses ballooned, further added to the glum. China responded to the recent US report in which it labelled the accusation by the US of China continuing with unfair trade practices as groundless and totally unacceptable, while it added that it hopes US drops rhetoric and behaviour that are damaging to relations.

After opening with little in the way of firm direction amid holiday thinned markets (US, Japan and India), European equities have posted modest gains with the EuroStoxx 50 higher by 0.2%. Leading the charge in Europe is the FTSE MIB (+0.6%) with Italian assets underpinned by optimism that the populist government could reign in some of their budgetary demands with reports suggesting that the EU Affairs Minister Savona could step down from his position (later denied) due to dissent over Italy’s intentions to violate EU budget laws. This also comes amidst a backdrop of increasing pressure from President Mattarella who wants the technocratic PM Conte to get a deal done with the EC, whilst other Italian press report highlight the need for Italy to increase the sincerity of Italy’s concessions to Europe. In terms of sector specifics, upside in Italian banking names has helped spur gains in European financials with the telecoms sector outperforming. To the downside, energy names lag, in-fitting with price action in the complex with crude seemingly unable to stem recent losses. Individual movers include Renault (+4.2%), who have been granted some reprieve from recent losses following a broker upgrade at Jefferies and as Nissan continue to reorganise their corporate leadership. Elsewhere, GEA Group (-14.3%) are lower after cutting guidance whilst Altice (-9.8%) continue to face selling pressure following yesterday’s disappointing market update
Top European News
In currencies, the Dollar has benefited from the aforementioned relative weakness elsewhere, and the index is holding nearer the upper end of 96.394-751 parameters as a result, and on course to end the holiday-shortened week with a net gain, albeit modest having traded up to 96.898 and down to 96.037 at the other extreme. the Euro was not the most discounted major currency on offer, but cut price in wake of considerably weaker than forecast preliminary PMIs from France, Germany and the Eurozone overall. The single currency is now under 1.1400 vs the Usd and has broken the 10DMA to the downside at 1.1356, with fibs now being eyed ahead of 1.1300, while pivoting 0.8850 against the Gbp even though Sterling is also suffering in sympathy and jittery on Brexit issues following initial euphoria due to the UK-EU Political Declaration. CAD/NZD/AUD - Also going relatively cheap and underperforming against their US peer, with the Loonie back below 1.3200 amidst an even steeper slide in crude prices ahead of Canadian CPI and retail sales data. Meanwhile, the Aud has retreated through 0.7250 again and hardly helped by overnight developments as ANZ revised its RBA outlook to unchanged until August 2020, and the ASIC launched a probe of CBA for the alleged mis-selling of insurance products. Similarly, the Kiwi has lost grip of 0.6800 amidst speculation that the RBNZ could loosen mortgage restrictions as part of its FSR due next week. GBP - As noted above, the Pound has lost a bit more positivity after Thursday’s rally on the draft PD reached by Brexit negotiators given a mixed reaction to the details in UK political circles and ongoing doubt about approval by EU leaders. Cable is back below 1.2850 vs circa 1.2900 at best yesterday, albeit ‘comfortably’ above the recent 1.2785 low with decent bids noted at 1.2800. EM - Some consolidation at the end of a solid week for the likes of the Zar and Try that have both made potentially significant breaks of key levels at 14.0000 and 5.3000 vs the Usd respectively due to a combination of bullish technical and fundamental factors, ie the SARB ¼ point hike yesterday.
In commodities, WTI (-4.3%) and Brent (-2.6%) are on track for their seventh weekly loss with WTI prices briefly breaching the USD 52.00/bbl level to the downside while Brent lingers just above USD 61/bbl. Some traders are citing the recent decline to technical factors, while Saudi Arabia signalled that its output may have reached a record high of above 10.7mln BPD, and the kingdom’s Energy Minister Al-Falih noted that demand for oil will be lower in January 2019 compared to December 2018. This comes amidst the backdrop of this week’s EIA data which showed that US production remained at a record high of 11.7mln barrels, the most since at least 1983; according to government data. Therefore, the complex is suffering from a double whammy with supply glut concerns and weaker demand concerns weighing on traders’ minds. Oil fell into bear market territory this month after the US granted temporary waivers to eight countries in regard to Iranian oil, in turn pouring cold water on some supply concerns, while sources emerged this morning noting that China are to resume the purchase of Iranian oil in November after their waiver. Some analysts highlighted that due to complications over insurance, shipping and payments, it may take until February or later until some of Iran’s largest buyers such as South Korean and Japan resume purchases.
Elsewhere, gold (-0.4%) prices saw some downside after the yellow metal felt pressure from the firmer USD and copper weakened amid underperformance in China alongside a decline in Chinese commodity prices. Furthermore, China’s Dalian Exchange are to relax their risk management restrictions on some futures in an attempt to attract more investors to boost liquidity given the recent slump in iron ore prices.

Your balance is unlocked after 10 confirmations (which means 10 mined blocks). A block is mined approximately every two minutes on the Monero network, so that would be around 20 minutes.
The fastest and most direct way is by using the ExploreMonero blockchain explorer. You will need to recover the transaction key from your wallet (complete guide for GUI / CLI).
There are dozens of exchanges that trade Monero against Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Check out the list on CoinMarketCap and choose the option that suits you best.
The correct place to ask questions and discuss the Monero mining scene is in the dedicated subreddit r/MoneroMining. That being said, you can find a list of pools and available mining software in the GetMonero.org website.
Before any action there are two things to check:
Settings, under Debug info).Because Monero is different from Bitcoin, wallet synchronization is not instant. The software needs to synchronize the blockchain and use your private keys to identify your transactions. Check in the lower left corner (GUI) if the wallet is synchronized.
You can't send transactions and your balance might be wrong or unavailable if the wallet is not synced with the network. So please wait.

You have decided to use Monero's wallet and run a local node. Congratulations! You have chosen the safest and most secure option for your privacy, but unfortunately this has an initial cost. The first reason for the slowness is that you will need to download the entire blockchain, which is considerably heavy (+70 GB) and constantly growing. There are technologies being implemented in Monero to slow this growth, however it is inevitable to make this initial download to run a full node. Consider syncing to a device that has an SSD instead of an HDD, as this greatly impacts the speed of synchronization.
Now that the blockchain is on your computer, the next time you run the wallet you only need to download new blocks, which should take seconds or minutes (depending on how often you use the wallet).
The way to skip downloading the blockchain is connecting your wallet to a public remote node. You can follow this guide on how to set it up. You can find a list of public remote nodes on MoneroWorld.
Be advised that when using a public remote node you lose some of your privacy. A public remote node is able to identify your IP and opens up a range for certain attacks that further diminish your privacy. A remote node can't see your balance and it can't spend your XMR.

At the risk of sounding like a troll or a shill, does anyone still believe BCH is going anywhere but down?
I got into Bitcoin years before the bubble, and accumulated a fair share. When BCH forked I believed in it, and put my money where my mouth is.
But, we have been bleeding virtually the entire time. There was a little bit of up, but most of it has been slowly but surely going down to zero.
As I also work in the cryptosphere, over the past year I've regularly talked with several big Bitcoin people. And while it seemed a constantly uphill battle, I was even able to convince some of them of the merits of BCH vs BTC. It's amazing how firmly lodged the core narrative of on-chain scaling being impossible, store of value, etc, is in otherwise reasonable people. If anything, this has gotten worse over time, not better (it feels like the other side is slowly winning that one).
This fork seems to have shredded the last bit of the confidence. I reluctantly follow ABC, because CSW and Ayre have completely lost it, but its not like Amaury is a shining example of sound reasoning or making good decisions. The egos are clashing while nobody involved seems to actually be worth their ego, and nobody seems to care about the actual users of BCH. Development wise, we're now practically as centralized as core.
Mining wise, this fork shows just how easy it is to get >50% mining share on the BCH chain. We're a madman's click away from being fully centralized.
On technical merits, sure BCH is far beyond BTC. But it seems absolutely nobody outside of our little bubble here on /r/btc believes in it. Overall confidence in crypto is way down, and BCH worse than average. The price has been practically in free fall, volume is completely gone, nobody wants it, trouble aplenty. While everyone here seems positive and hopeful, BCH's relative value compared to BTC would need to double or triple from what it is right now to even being close to getting back on track. Does anybody honestly believe that will happen? How? What can possibly trigger this event? If I as an engineer who believes in the tech, a business man who has the funds to invest, and an idealist who believes in the ideas behind crypto, can no longer bring myself to see hope on the horizon, how will anyone else?
My belief in BCH has literally cost me over a million dollars compared to staying in the inferior BTC. I am nearly to the point where I'm going to have to sell everything to prevent running a loss (how ridiculous is that for someone who got in before the bubble). I'm not saying that to garner your pity - while I'm not a wealthy man I'm certainly not a poor one, and I'll be just fine. But absolutely everything points to BCH being a lost cause at this point.
