On this day, 19th of November on the year of our Lord 2018, bitcoin dropped under five thousand United States dollars a piece. These are truly dark times that we are living in, so let us take a glance upon the recent 0xBTC developments and try to sustain ourselves on hopium until this wretched bear market comes to an end.

Mining difficulty: 796,213,990 (-2.67%) (next: ~718,929,110) (-10.14%)
Estimated hashrate: 1.17 Th/s (-55.17%)

Recent events:
- Lodge proposed a plan to use the PoW contributed towards mining 0xBTC to secure an offchain bridge. https://medium.com/@jlogelin/arbitrary-off-chain-security-using-0xbitcoin-merged-proof-of-work-7c4ff0d07d3f
- 0xBitcoin was listed on Rootrex, which is a DEX that's partnered with Bithumb. Acydutz lead the initiative by simply explaining the idea behind the project and sending them a few 0xBTC to play around with. https://medium.com/@oneroot/oxbitcoin-will-get-listed-on-rootrex-at-14-00-utc-8-on-november-13-77930052fc55
- 0xBTC was listed on CoinCalculators.io, a site which tracks the benefits of mining various cryptos. https://www.coincalculators.io/coin.aspx?crypto=0xbitcoin-mining-calculator
- The sponsored article was published on CryptoCurrencyNews last week. After the community gathered 9 ETH in donations to pay for the fee, MoonBoy3000 did most of the heavy lifting in regards to the writing, with a lot of help from Mr. F. The result of that was an eloquently written article that is sure to win some more people over to our camp. https://www.ccn.com/0xbitcoin-ethereums-answer-to-bitcoins-proof-of-work/
- Frogger pulled some strings and got us a 0xBitcoin banner on https://coinhub.news/.
- The SEC has really begun cracking down on ICOs (https://www.coindesk.com/after-fridays-sec-actions-experts-say-ico-party-is-truly-over). The developments effectively mark the end of the era of centrally-generated arcade tokens, clearing the path for a fairer, more transparent method of distribution. Userbrn has written a brief article about IMOs and how they could be used to start blockchain projects in a much more accountable manner. https://medium.com/0xbitcoinfoundation/developers-need-to-consider-initial-mining-offerings-on-ethereum-28be23fa05d9
- Userbrn submitted a listing application to Bittrex. Don't be bothering him about the progress on it though, since no decent exchange will speculate about listings. If it goes somewhere, then I'm more than sure that we'll know.
- Work on the LavaWallet is currently held up by improvements that have yet to be made to Ethereum, but as soon as those get ironed out the ball will surely get rolling again. In the meantime, Infernal_toast has written this short recap of the LavaWallet:
"The LavaWallet contract is a custodial token contract and it is entirely non-owned. Any user is allowed to deposit tokens inside and they will be recorded in the contracts ledger for withdraw by that user at any time. Besides just allowing users to deposit and withdraw tokens, the contract also uses ECRecover so that any tokens inside can be spent by any other pre-specified third party who can submit a signed packet of data (a Lava Packet) which had been signed by the token owner to allow this action.This means that a LavaPacket acts just like a digital check.
A user creates and signs this check which specifies an amount of tokens to send to a specific party. A reward (in tokens) can be embedded as well such that anyone who pays the ether gas to submit this check back to the contract will receive. Thus, this allows users to indirectly pay for token transfers using only tokens as the fee.
The third parties (relayers) will pay the ether for gas. Once a lava packet is submitted, it cannot be submitted again. One clear fault of such a system is that if anyone can be a relayer and submit a lava packet, then packets which are broadcast to everyone will be submitted by everyone in a race and only the first will be successful. The rest will just lose gas and receive no reward, making for an inefficient system.
To solve this minor fault, lava packet creators must specify an address called 'relayAuthority' which is either the address of a specific account , who becomes the only valid relayers for that packet , or a specific arbitrary smart contract whose method getAuthority() is called at time of packet submission which may only return a single address at any given time. Therefore this problem is solved and at any given time, there is only a single valid relayer for any LavaPacket, as enfoced by the contract.
This means there will be fewer races, fewer failed tx even with packet broadcasting ,and the power is still in the hands of the user.One such example contract for a relayAuthority has been constructed which uses Proof of Stake and cycles through valid stakers in a ~15 minute interval. LavaPacket creators may use this as a relay authority so that the packet can be submitted by any of the 15 stakers, but still at any given time only one will be a valid submitter so there are still no races, still no reason for invalid TXes." - 0xbitcoin's price can be tracked on Binance. What's noteworthy is that it's the only token on the site that does not have an "issue price". While simply being able to view 0xBTC on Binance is definitely not a sign of anything larger, then it does give hope tha- BUY BUY BUY FOMO IN QUICK BEFORE IT'S LISTED https://info.binance.com/en/currencies/0xbitcoin
