What 30 Million Ethereum Transactions Reveal about the State of DApp Development
New data from cryptocurrency prime dealer SFOX has painted a somewhat bleak picture of the current state of dApp development on the Ethereum network.
According to the data which was obtained from an analysis of more than 30 million Ethereum transactions, the top 10 smart contracts on the network are dominated by ICO and exchange activity, with a solitary spot for the popular CryptoKitties dApp.
The data shows that contrary to the promise of Ethereum as a simple and powerful engine for powering smart contracts that dApp developers can use for any purpose, the cost and scaling issues still present a significant challenge to the actualisation of that vision.

IBM Study: Central Banks Favor Digital Currencies for Interbank Settlements
Central banks maintain their distance from Bitcoin but have shown interests in issuing their private digital currencies. And a new IBM-OMFIF survey revealed how this future financial infrastructure would appear.
The Background
The study found that central banks are increasingly adopting Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). A clear overview revealed that banks were initially reluctant in taking the said technological leap. There were inconsistencies in the categorization of digital currencies that whether they would be wholesale or retail. A retail CBDC, per the IBM-OMFIF report, would have provided everybody the right to hold the digital currency-version of fiat money. Meanwhile, a wholesale CBDC would limit the supply to only selected financial institutions for interbank settlements.
“No major central bank intends to implement a retail CBDC in the near term. However, the debate about wholesale CBDCs has moved on from questions of feasibility to practical considerations,” the report read.

Delaware Helps Catch British Hacker Holding Over $200k in Bitcoin
Recent news shows Delaware playing an important role in the capture of British hacker Grant West. U.K. Authorities caught West last year and recovered $700,000 worth of Bitcoin.
The Catch
According to a report by Delawareonline, undercover U.K. officials caught West last year while he was traveling by train. West was convicted of fraud, in addition to other crimes.
Catching West “was the first time London Metropolitan Police arrested a cybercriminal” reports Delawarenewsonline. This case dates back to activity in 2015, with West hacking over 100 different companies.
The same report also uncovers the U.S. Secret Service of Delaware having a part in West’s capture. Roughly one year ago, Delaware helped British police uncover some of West’s stolen capital, finding an account with close to $217,000,000 of value in Bitcoin.
“Delaware for years has been the site of large numbers of government seizures of dollars from the bank accounts of suspected criminals because so many banks keep their central servers in the First State. Now, that has expanded to include bitcoin and other cryptocurrency”, reported Delawareonline.

Dutch Blockchain Prop-Tech Company To Enter Asian Market
ROTTERDAM and SHANGHAI, Oct. 20, 2018 Press Release — Dominium and China Blockchain Partners (CBP) have signed an extensive partnership agreement to support Dominium’s activities within the Chinese market as a gateway to Asia.
Dominium, a company registered in Rotterdam, is building the world’s first global property platform on the blockchain, where assets are placed on the blockchain alongside property sales, rentals and management to create a multilingual, international real estate marketplace. The advantages of blockchain technology are applied across Dominium’s many functionalities, from registering a rental contract to providing regulated financial documents. China Blockchain Partners, based in Shanghai, provides services for China’s leading blockchain projects and for EU companies targeting Asian markets. CBP has strong relationships with leading companies and considerable experience in the blockchain space.
“We will use our extensive network to assist Dominium in its goals for fundraising as well as finding value-adding partners for the use of its platform,” says Robert van Aert, co-founder of CBP.
Dominium is currently holding an ITO and is hoping that the collaboration with CBP will create a foothold in the Asian market for the adoption of the platform, which has attracted nearly 50,000 global users in its first few months of operation.
“With China being the most populated country in the world, introducing a global property platform is a natural fit. In this fast-growing market, we want to expand our reach for digitizing the tradition real estate industry globally. That’s why we signed a partnership with a valuable player in the Chinese blockchain field”, says Managing Director Mark Lloyd.

India’s Supreme Court Seeks Gov’t Report on Cryptocurrency in 2-Week Deadline
India’s Supreme Court, the country’s apex court, has directed the central government to present its official stance on cryptocurrency within two weeks.
In a telling move that seeks to end the ambiguity over the legality of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin in India, the government has been ordered to release its report on the cryptocurrency sector by the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court has been inundated with multiple petitions filed by cryptocurrency exchanges and industry groups that have challenged a banking blockade enforced by the central bank in April, a crippling policy that has largely shuttered the domestic crypto sector.
While the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has issued multiple cautions against the use of cryptocurrency over the years (from as early as 2013), they aren’t illegal in the country.

AMD: ‘Blockchain-Related GPU Sales in Third Quarter Were Negligible’
In its quarterly financial results report published Oct. 24, semiconductor manufacturer AMD reveals that “blockchain-related graphics processing unit (GPU) sales in the third quarter were negligible.”
American semiconductor company AMD stated in its third quarter 2018 financial report that revenue rose to $1.65 billion, up 4 percent year-over-year, although the figure is below estimates of $1.7 billion. The decrease is attributed to overall lower graphic revenue in the company’s Computing and Graphic business segment since last quarter.
Nevertheless, AMD’s Computing and Graphic segment revenue saw a 12 percent increase year-over-year up to $938 million primarily due to strong sales of Ryzen desktop and mobile products. Blockchain-related GPU sales were not significant in the third quarter. The average selling price of GPUs also decreased due to lower GPU channel sales.

Is Bitcoin Primed to Initiate a Rally Above $7,000 After Weeks of Stability?
Throughout the past ten days, the Bitcoin price has remained in a tight range from $6,300 to $6,500, rarely initiating a noticeable movement.
The 1-day price chart of Bitcoin, as shown below, demonstrates nearly two weeks of stability in the lower price range of the dominant cryptocurrency, unable to engage in a short-term upside movement to confirm a breakout above a major resistance level.

#ProjectDELTA
What is Project DELTA?
The Project DELTA Blockchain Protocol presents a game-changing framework different from other protocols. It is a protocol designed with groundbreaking structure and rules which suggest a new paradigm of the blockchain for the 4th Industrial Revolution era.
Our Solutions
The DELTA Blockchain protocol offers an optimal convergence solution with data-driven technologies to lead the fourth industrial revolution.
VOTA (Verification of Transcendence Spatial Autocorrelation):
VOTA significantly reduces block time and achieves the real-time transaction by applying a unique algorithm and eliminating coin-based compensations.
DAPP As A Node (DAAN):
Being itself a node, DAPP is incentivized by business-driven benefits instead of coin compensations to confirm transactions and generate blocks.
CRDE (Cross-Referral DAPP Ecosystem):
DELTA allows anybody to create DAPPS by using the widgets (essential DAPPS provided by Project DELTA). Cross reference between DAPPS allows a dynamic DAPP ecosystem.
Pain Points
By 2025 big data is expected to increase to 163 ZB worldwide,which is 10 times the total amount of data generated in 2016.
The current blockchain protocols are unable to manage the amounts of data generated at an unprecedented scale due to the waiting time for nodes to receive the coin reward.
Limitations in the existing blockchain protocols ultimately hamper the creation of an active DAPP ecosystem.
