Tech Giant Tencent Leads $20M Series A For Blockchain Supply Chain Startup Everledger
Everledger, the U.K.-based blockchain supply chain startup, has raised $20 million in Series A. The round was led by Chinese tech giant Tencent, with participation from other investors. Everledger CEO, Leanne Kemp, told The Block that the firm is looking to bring its solutions to China with the new capital.

BOJ Kuroda Urges Global Cooperation In Regulating Facebook’s Libra
Haruhiko Kuroda, Governor of Bank of Japan (BOJ) said on Sept 24 that international cooperation was crucial in regulating stable coins such as Facebook’s planned Libra digital currency. “If Libra is introduced, it could have a huge impact on society,” Kuroda told business leaders in Osaka, western Japan, adding that policymakers must thus ensure that they apply the highest level of regulation to such stable coins.

Governor Of PBoC: CBDC Not Necessarily Uses Blockchain Technology, No Timetable Scheduled Yet
While China is accelerating the development in digital payments, Governor of the People’s Bank of China (PBoC), YI Gang, clarified that although the research team of the central bank backed digital currency (CBDC) is taking blockchain, digital payments, and a range of frontier technologies into consideration, it is uncertain which one or ones will be used at last. Besides, the central bank has never preset a technical route for the CBDC, nor has it made any decisions on a precise timetable for the launch of the CBDC.
YI Gang made the remark today on Sept 24 at the press conference for celebration of the 70th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China. The press conference focused on the latest ideas to foster a healthy, stable, and sustainable economy in the country.
He added that the introduction of CBDC won’t change the current issuance or distribution of currencies. “The goal of the CBDC is to replace part of M0 (money in circulation), not M1 or M2,” he said.
The Governor addressed that positive progress has been made in digital currency research.
Note: M0 is the total of all physical currency including coinage. M1 money supply includes those monies that are very liquid such as cash, checkable (demand) deposits, and traveler’s checks. M2 money supply is less liquid in nature and includes M1 plus savings and time deposits, certificates of deposits, and money market funds.

BTC completed the downward break of 9890, the key hint of yesterday’s closing, in yesterday’s trading yesterday, and accelerated the downward trend further at night, and achieved the effective arrival of the first support line 9600, which was suggested in yesterday’s closing. Although the price has come out of a certain rebound performance, the actual rebound strength is limited. The forward market still operates in the disadvantaged areas. However, the rebound in early trading seems to be only the technical rebound correction after the first round of decline touches on the clear support position. It is reasonable that the price rebound correction occurs after the serious oversold of short-term indicators is consistent. Therefore, it is not recommended that the current rebound be interpreted excessively as long as the price remains at 98. Running below 90, the short-term downward target of 9400 mentioned in yesterday’s closure is still worth looking forward to. For BTC, the idea of short-term trading follow-up is further simplified. After the first wave of short-term orders landed smoothly, the short-term can continue to use 9890 and 9600 as benchmarks. The price reversal test of 9890 is again frustrated, or it is confirmed that after falling below 9600, a new round of short-term follow-up can be done to catch up with the target of 9400. When 9400 is in place, as long as there is no extreme situation of instantaneous dive breakdown, it is recommended to make profit settlement in time. This position can be used as a reference for strong support of midline level. There is a greater possibility of forming band stop-fall reversal near this area, and it is worth making key observation after it is in place.

Yang 2020 - policy error

The Yang 2020 post-quantum policy here: https://www.yang2020.com/policies/quantum-computing/

is, unfortunately, a little incorrect. Facts are wrong. AES-256 will be slightly weakened by remains strong in a post-quantum world in the medium term. Exhaustive search will still be required making AES weaker but resistant. RSA and elliptic curve public key encryption will break with larger bit post-quantum computing, still quite a few years away but seemingly inevitable. Most banking, https, etc. will be compromised. Another example, bitcoin hashes (history) safe (SHA256x2) but bitcoin tx's (coin theft) at risk (public key).

The #yanggang concern is well placed. Perhaps even more urgent than the recent quantum breakthrough suggests. This is due to the ability to decode older stored ciphertext as the US did with old Soviet Verona cyphers after capture. No one wants all their old messages/passwds/transactions/texts being viewed. Privacy concerns are not just forward-looking; they need to be retrospective. It is perhaps already too late in some regards. I'd imagine it may be expressed similar to the Yang climate policy: "it is worse than you think" ;-)

There are many good alternatives already for post-quantum encryption. The policy platform should be a nod to pushing that forward and hasten the existing NIST process, including defining private company requirements for data in flight and at rest. That is, plant the tree now as it should have been planted twenty years ago.

Post-quantum at NIST FYI: https://www.nist.gov/news-events/news/2019/01/nist-reveals-26-algorithms-advancing-post-quantum-crypto-semifinals

Please fix the policy. It is well-intended but naive.

There are Yang policies I disagree with, but the platform overall seems pretty terrific to my simple self. This policy is just erroneous in presentation and needs some fairly minor tweaks to prevent some technical embarrassment.

How The “Simple Match” Event Works On ExcitePrice.com

Overview

ExcitePrice is a new entertainment trading platform, that allows users to open short or long trades against the platform with various amounts of price multiplication. The price multiplication acts similar to synthetic leverage so a small change in the price of an asset will have a big change in payout.

To get more familiar with the platform, check out exciteprice.com. In this post we will explain the concept of the Simple Match market:

Simple Match

The Simple Match event is the most basic event offered by ExcitePrice. This event is great for traders trying out the platform for the first time. The event enables traders to go long or short with leverage. The payout is capped at 50% profit, and the upside is discounted by 50%. This event does not have a liquidation price and carries a fixed contract duration. Once you enter the event it will stay open until the expiration, when the exit price is determined.

For example, a trader enters long BTC with $1000, when Bitcoin is $8,000 with leverage of 100X. The trader has entered into a 1-hour market, meaning that in one hour the platform will get the new price of Bitcoin and determine if the trader will earn or lose money. In our example, an hour goes by and Bitcoin increases to a new price of $8,100. This means, Bitcoin has appeached by 1.25%. The trader’s position in this case would increase in value from $1000, to $1500, a 50% gain. If you apply the traders 100X leverage to a 1.25% increase it would mean a gain of 125%, however because the Simple Match event has Maximum Upside Potential capped at 50%, the trader would be given a 50% return.

Can Litecoin Halving Really Double Your Investment?

Two big halvings in less than a year.

The next Bitcoin halving is less than a year away, and Litecoin’s block rewards are expected to fall within two months. These events are likely to restrict the supply of both cryptocurrencies, leading some speculators to count on the reduced supply for another bull run. In fact, given the recent run-up in price to a 12-month high of $128 at the time of writing, Litecoin halving fever already seems to have struck the market.

But, as we’ll see, those returns may not be as inevitable as some traders think.

Why Do Mining Rewards Fall?

The rate that new coins are created is cut in half every four years, effectively reducing inflation rates and cutting supply in the digital currency. Bitcoin’s current inflation rate is just over 4%, and will become 1.8% after the halving. In comparison, the U.S. Federal Reserve targets a 2% inflation rate each year.

Bitcoin inflation rate versus price over time. Via CoinMarketCap

Bitcoin has followed the same emission schedule since the genesis block, except for one slip-up: an inflation bug (CVE-2010-5139) created 184 billion bitcoins on August 15, 2010 at block height 74638.

Bitcoin supply curve. Source: messario.io

What will happen to the price of Bitcoin?

It’s risky to use previous halvings to draw a conclusion for the future, because it’s such a small sample size. However, we do know that inflation (and therefore supply) will decrease. ECON101 tells us that a supply decrease coupled with stagnant demand leads to a price increase, and we’ve predicted positive results for the halving before. 

On the day of the first halving, November 28, 2012, the price of BTC was $12.35, and reached $127 just 150 days later. One year after the halving it was $205. 150 days prior to the halving the price was $5.24.

Bitcoin at the first halving. Via BuyBitcoinWorldwide.

So, the first halving was clearly a good time to buy BTC. If you had bought five months before the halving and sold it one year afterwards, your investment would have returned forty-fold returns. 

The second halving was less dramatic, but still profitable. On July 9th, the day of the 2016 halving, the price of BTC was $650.63 and reached $758.81 just 150 days later. One year after the halving it was $2350. 150 days prior to the halving the price was $405. So, during that halving there was nearly a sixfold investment opportunity.

Bitcoin at the second halving. Via BuyBitcoinWorldwide.

Again, the sample size is small, but the relationship is clear – buying before the halving and holding for a long time afterwards has been very profitable.

What About Litecoin?

The impending Bitcoin halving has been well covered, but what does this mean for Litecoin – the silver to Bitcoin’s gold? Litecoin was launched as a fork of Bitcoin, which would be “four times as fast with four times the supply.”

Litecoin, like Bitcoin, still halves every four years. But its halving schedule has seemingly slipped under the radar.

To date, Litecoin has only had one halving, which was on August 26th, 2015, and the next halving is only two months away. This time the sample size is even smaller, since this event has only happened once in history. But the results are interesting given that they don’t really mimic Bitcoin’s.

The best metric to use on Litecoin is its price relative to BTC.

On the day of the halving LTC was worth 0.01272 BTC. 150 days later the price actually decreased by 35% to 0.008189 BTC. One year after the halving the price was nearly 50% lower at 0.006595 BTC.

Looking at the graph below, it’s clear that the price of LTC peaked approximately 6 weeks prior to the halving, as if traders anticipated similar results to the Bitcoin halving but were disappointed.

Litecoin price at 2015 halving

In the last halving, purchasing 8 weeks prior to the halving would have returned less than a 5% profit to the date of the halving.

As of June 6th, we are exactly 8 weeks away from the LTC halving date, but this one may not be easy money. Based on an (admittedly tiny) sample size, history shows that LTC is unlikely to hold its run against Bitcoin. 


We The ExcitePrice Team Used Ethereum To Unlock A New Type Of Trading, “Event Trading” – That’s Pretty Brilliant

When we envisioned the idea of event trading on cryptocurrency, the only blockchain platform that clearly demonstrated the capabilities to combine both a secure settlement layer and a way to perform efficient off-chain processes was Ethereum.

Ethereum as the settlement layer has enabled ExcitePrice to create a completely novel trading platform.

We just wanted to give Eth a shout out.

To learn more about ExcitePrice, go to exciteprice.com

Event Trading has unlocked an entirely new form of leveraged trading on cryptocurrencies: enabling traders to open short and long positions on Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, Tron, Ripple and Cardano with guaranteed liquidity at any moment.

ExcitePrice does this in a non-custodial way using Ethereum as the settlement rail, while employing the capabilities of off-chain functionality for speed and performance.


Node help! Listening to transactions

I'm running a pruned BitcoinABC node, and I'm trying to stream transactions using ZeroMQ. I've read that bitcoin-cli getzmqnotifications should return an array, but I get prompted with:

error code: -32601 error message: Method not found

Why does this happen? I have 'enabled' zmq by adding to bitcoin.conf, as per this guide. Is zmq not enabled, and if so, how can I enable it? I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.

What happened to the 28,000 pieces of BTC lost by the leader of the mining circle?

The loss of BTC

So what was the cause?Let elder brother leek simply describe:

In 2009, the chef (coin owner) worked in a hotel in guangzhou and got to know the network management of the hotel.

The webmaster is a digital currency enthusiast.On one occasion, he borrowed $3,000 from a cook for financial reasons, and when he ran out of money to pay back the debt, he paid in bitcoins of equal value.

The cook got the wallet's private key, which contained 28,000 bitcoins. He didn't care about it at the time (bitcoin was cheap at that time), and then compressed it and saved it with a string of passwords.

The loss of BTC

Eight years later, in 2017, as the price of bitcoin skyrocketed, cook was reminded of his own existence.

Because the password was not properly kept before, and the past eight years have passed, the cook can not remember the password.So he started trying to crack the zip code to get the bitcoin in the file.

After attempt failed many times, found a good at cook crack password "Singapore senior hacker", in order to verify the hacker to crack his ability, to create a few zip file and use the random complex passwords, both crack by hackers, but the final package really cook did not send "hacker" in Singapore.

The incident was supposed to be over by now, but a recent study by the health and safety laboratory found that:

The event is most likely a hoax.

First suspect: since version 2.0, rar has used the AES encryption algorithm to encrypt files in blocks, so it is impossible to crack the so-called "Singapore hacker" technology.

The second doubt: the private key that the cook transcribes on the "recipe" is a compressed form of private key beginning with L, which only appeared in the BBS discussion and was applied in 2011.

According to leek elder brother every day to analyze the rational investment, only then has the rich possibility.
