'500 Transactions a Second': Vitalik Says Zk-Snarks Could Scale Ethereum

A form of cryptography pioneered by zcash might help scale ethereum, the founder of the platform Vitalik Buterin said on a research forum Saturday.

Named zk-snarks, Buterin wrote that by using the tech, ethereum can potentially scale "by a huge amount," up to 500 transactions per second, without relying on layer-two scaling solutions, such as Plasma or Raiden. As detailed by CoinDesk, zk-snarks allow for large batches of information to be compressed into so-called succinct proofs, which remain the same size regardless of the amount of inputs.

Buterin wrote:

"We can actually scale asset transfer transactions on ethereum by a huge amount, without using layer 2s that introduce liveness assumptions (eg. channels, plasma), by using zk-SNARKs to mass-validate transactions."

​​🔊EOSWebWallet is now available for the public use.

The wallet allows you to send any tokens and interact with smart contracts.

To ensure high security of user’s funds and protection against hackers, developers store only the HTML and JavaScript version on the server. In this case, transactions are signed by the user's browser, without sending personal data and private keys to a third-party server.

✔️Other features of the wallet:

The ability to view information about any EOS network account, create rules for managing account settings, support smart contracts and actions in EOS blockchain, integrate with browser plug-ins and user keys, there is no need to enter user keys on each page, the wallet does not receive or store information about users, it is possible to work with both mainnet and Jungle test network.

In the future, integration with Ledger Wallet and other hardware wallets is expected.

​​☑️Developers of Zap presented updated beta version of bitcoin wallet with the support of payments on the Web lightning network.

The new version (0.2.2) came out with fixed bugs, new functions and increased stability.

Also new version of Zap supports 19 languages, including Russian and Ukrainian. You can display asset value in 25 different currencies. The wallet also supports multiple color schemes.

🔜 Mobu (MOBU)

Mobu is a decentralised platform and end-to-end solution for launching compliant security tokens - "The Future of Security tokens".

The 80 Trillion dollar big securities market is coming to the blockchain. But there are still plenty of problems which occur when launching a security token. One of the main problems which arise when planning on launching a security token is the fact that it is a legal, regulatory and technical nightmare launching one. Furthermore, until now there is also no trusted competitive environment for ICO service providers to ensure lower pricing and better quality.

Those problems MOBU aims to solve.
MOBU is an ecosystem/marketplace that implements a unique MOB20 standard protocol to ensure compliant security tokens and similar to how the HTTP protocol defined the internet, the MOB20 protocol aims to define a set of commands that a compliant security token should implement!

Mobu uses the blockchain technology to create a set of rules that govern the issuance of security tokens while programming them into smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. This way they are transparent and immutable. And they decide on security tokens due to the lower fees, the more complex versions of dividend policies and voting rights, the possibility to execute deals faster and succeed cross-border funding within a larger investor base, as well as suffering fewer manipulations by financial institutions.

In the Mobu ecosystem the token issuers(real future companies on MOBU) post bounties to get service providers, Developers earn MOBU tokens for creating smart contracts, KYC providers pay MOBU tokens to join the network/ecosystem, Investors pay MOBU tokens for KYC process, legal representatives and escrow providers earn MOBU tokens for offering services. Mobu additionally will steel bank partnerships to ensure FIAT can easily be converted to crypto all around the world and MOBU tokens can be earned worldwide. Furthermore, Lockup utility will ensure scarcity of MOBU tokens!

​​⚡️75 banks, including Societe Generale and Santander, have joined the testing of the Interbank Information Network (IIN) based on Quorum's blockchain.

JPMorgan announced the launch of the project in October last year. The goal of IIN is to accelerate interbank payments and enable institutions to transparently share information.

The first to test the system was the Australian ANZ and the Canadian Royal Bank of Canada. Both banks acted as partners of JPMorgan.

So far, within the IIN, banks have been making daily payments of about $ 14,500.

In the future, IIN developers plan to maintain payments not only in US dollars.

The U.S. tech giant Google is set to update its ad policy in October, reallowing some crypto businesses to advertise on its platform. The company announced this in an official post Tuesday, September 25.

According to the official announcement, starting in October Google will allow registered cryptocurrency exchanges to advertise on its Google Adwords platform, targeting the U.S. and Japanese audiences. The announcement says:

“Advertisers will need to be certified with Google for the specific country in which their ads will serve. Advertisers will be able to apply for certification once the policy launches in October.”

​​CRYPTOCARZ IS THE WORLD'S FIRST BLOCKCHAIN-ENABLED VR RACING EXPERIENCE

CRYPTOCARZ IS A MULTIPLAYER, VIRTUAL REALITY (VR)-ENABLED RACING EXPERIENCE, DEVELOPED USING THE ETHEREUM BLOCKCHAIN.

To play, users will have to load the car assets into the game from an Ethereum wallet, where they are stored as an ERC721 token. The ERC721 token has paved the way for a new class of digital assets called non-fungible tokens (NFTs). These allow users to own, customise and maintain control in the
same way as in the physical world.

Blockchain Studios contends that this new asset class opens up new opportunities for user engagement and ownership. We believe that the first wave of innovation will come from gaming. CryptoCarz is the first platform to bring together blockchain, VR and gaming technologies. By giving gamers new options to visualise, own, adapt and race their own car, we think a new era in gaming has arrived.

WE BELIEVE GAMING IT WILL BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RISE – AND INTEGRATION – OF THREE TECHNOLOGIES: BLOCKCHAIN, E-SPORTS AND VR.

Each of them, independently, represents a paradigm shift for game development and consumption. Their attributes will make technology more individual, inclusive and immersive. The combination of these technologies will give rise to new scenarios, where gamers can own, modify, trade and play in an unprecedented way

THE CONCEPT

Cars, gaming and cryptocurrency are shared passions at Blockchain Studios, so combining them was a natural choice when we started working on CryptoCarz. We see strong synergies between the cryptocurrency community and gamers and we believe there is a market for a game that blends racing, cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. CryptoCarz is a multiplayer, fully immersive, VR-enabled racing experience, powered by the Ethereum blockchain. To race in the game, a user will have to demonstrate ownership of a car that is modelled and stored as an ERC721 Ethereum token in the gamer’s private wallet. The car will then be loaded into the game via integration with MetaMask and other proprietary tools

The game will initially offer 20 car models representative of the top cryptocurrencies. Each model will have a maximum of 650 units, hard-coded and numerically defined in the smart contract.No further cars in these models will be produced in the future.

North Korea successfully using cryptos to evade US sanctions
North Korea is increasingly using crypto-currencies to successfully circumvent US sanctions, according to two Washington-based experts.

Lourdes Miranda, an independent financial intelligence analyst and a financial crimes investigator who specializes in intelligence collection and analysis, and Ross Delston, an independent Washington-based attorney and expert witness who specializes in anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) compliance matters, said it was also likely that Pyongyang was both trading with established crypto-currencies and also creating its own.

“International criminals everywhere prefer crypto-currencies and the DPRK is no exception. Crypto-currencies have the added advantage to the DPRK of giving them more ways to circumvent US sanctions. They can do so by using multiple international exchangers, mixing and shifting services – mirroring the money laundering cycle – to exploit international financial institutions that have correspondent banking relationships with the United States,” the pair said in a joint written response to Asia Times questions.

“DPRK can create their own crypto-currencies or use established ones like Bitcoin. Having their own crypto-currency would also facilitate their ability to open online accounts under the guise of a non-adversarial nation using anonymous communication to conceal the user’s locations and usage on the internet,” they added.

Is it possible that DPRK as part of creating its own crypto-currency could create its own blockchain to manipulate their own public record of transactions? Yes, the pair said, and this would be done in order “to appear that transactions are coming from legitimate sources.”

Taking this one step further, Miranda and Delston made it clear that the DPRK could create its own online wallet services – virtual bank accounts – that store, receive and send crypto-currencies into European online wallets that have limited or no Personally Identifiable Information (PII) requirements and/or do not have US sanctions imposed against them.

“Wallets create both public and private keys for security and privacy purposes,” they said. “For example, DPRK could open an online wallet using a Russia-based service, transfer its crypto-currency into a Bulgaria-based wallet service and then transfer it again into a Greece-based wallet service, all through anonymous communication and using their own blockchain."

​​The new trading tool has already added more than 400 cryptocurrencies and 45,000 exchange pairs. Investors now have a new tool to help bridge the segregated world of cryptocurrency exchanges.

CoinSwitch is a new crypto exchange aggregator that allows users to trade on a number of top partner exchanges, including Changelly, IDEX, HitBTC and KuCoin, without needing to register an account.

With CoinSwitch’s aggregation, users can automatically find the best exchange rate prior to conducting their coin-coin transaction. CoinSwitch is non-custodial, meaning that users are responsible for holding their assets, which can be swapped by simpling entering the address of their relevant wallets.

The CoinSwich API even offers the ability to create a customized crypto exchangeby allowing users to add a trading widget to their websites with zero code required. The hosting sites are able to earn up to 50% on revenue share on all trades, and CoinSwitch notes that over 100 websites are already using this product. Additionally, the site offers a 25% referral program, paid in BTC.

CoinSwitch isn’t the first trading tool addressing the widely disperse crypto exchange landscape. Arbitraj LLC has been working on a set of tools designed to take advantage of the arbitrage opportunities found among the highly illiquid exchanges. Arbitraj has built a web-based app and Google Chrome plug-in that demonstrates the price spreads for cryptocurrencies while users browse through exchanges.

CoinSwitch is reportedly venture-backed with major firms like Sequoia having invested.

​​Monero developers have patched the ‘Burning Bug’
he developers of open-source cryptocurrency Monero (XMR) have patched a bug that could allow an attacker to “burn” the funds of an organization’s wallet while only losing network transaction fees, according to an announcement published September 25.

The bug was reportedly discovered after a community member described a hypothetical attack on the XMR subreddit. The bug could purportedly affect merchants and organizations in the XMR ecosystem, enabling an attacker to trigger significant damage. The blog post further describes how the bug would be exploited:
“An attacker first generates a random private transaction key. Thereafter, they modify the code to merely use this particular private transaction key, which ensures multiple transactions to the same public address (e.g. an exchange's hot wallet) are sent to the same stealth address. Subsequently, they send, say, a thousand transactions of 1 XMR to an exchange. Because the exchange's wallet does not warn for this particular abnormality (i.e. funds being received on the same stealth address), the exchange will, as usual, credit the attacker with 1000 XMR.”

While Monero notes that the attacker would not be able to directly accrue monetary gains with such an attack, “there are probably means to indirectly benefit.”

Following the attack, the hacker sells the XMR for Bitcoin (BTC) and then withdraws the BTC. As a result of the attack, the exchange is left with 999 unspendable or “burnt” outputs of 1 XMR.

Notably, the bug has not affected the protocol or the coin supply. XMR developers subsequently created and included a patch in the code, which was announced via XMR’s official Twitter account:

XMR, which claims to be a private and “untraceable” cryptocurrency, was the target of fraudulent activities in the crypto space previously. Earlier this month, the MEGA Chrome extension was compromised, which allowed cybercriminals to steal users’ XMR in addition to other sensitive information.

In June, a report published by security company Palo Alto Networks found that around 5 percent of all XMR in circulation at the time was mined maliciously. XMR reportedly has an “incredible monopoly” on the cryptocurrencies targeted by malware, with a total of $175 million mined maliciously.

XMR is currently the tenth largest digital currency, with a market capitalization of nearly $1.9 billion and a circulating supply of over 16 million, according to CoinMarketCap. At press time, XMR is trading at around $114, up 0.68 percent over the last 24 hours.

Coinbase plans to ramp up altcoin listings amid growing competition
Coinbase’s competitive advantage has long been the relative security and simplicity it offered for investors looking to enter the digital asset market. However, as competition begins to mount, Coinbase is looking to ramp up its altcoin listing process to keep up with emerging players.

In an announcement published on Tuesday, Coinbase revealed that it has instituted a new process that will allow for the rapid listing of top altcoins based on compliance with local regulators. Essentially meaning that Coinbase is planning on rapid-fire listing coins and only making them available in regions that allow investors access.

Coinbase notes that this new listing policy comes as a result of pressure applied by one of the company’s largest institutional clients.

“There are now thousands of digital assets of all types, including coins, tokens, forks, stablecoins and collectibles. One of our top customer requests is to add support for these new assets, and we have been determining how to do this in a secure and compliant way for those assets meeting our standards,” said Coinbase in the announcement.

Now, Coinbase has opened up its listing process to applications by blockchain projects and will take each application at no fee for the time being. Each application will be put up against the company’s digital asset framework for evaluation.

This listing revelation comes as major Coinbase competitors, including Circle, Abra and Gemini, have begun to expand their altcoin offerings.

Circle Invest, the retail cryptocurrency trading platform run by Goldman Sachs-backed Circle, recently announced the addition of four major altcoins, including EOS (EOS), 0x (ZRX), Stellar (XLM) and Qtum (QTUM).

Abra, an all-in-one cryptocurrency wallet and trading platform, recently announced that it has added support for Bitcoin Cash (BCH) as a means to fund user accounts. This came a week after Abra added three major altcoins, Cardano (ADA), TRON (TRX) and Basic Attention Token (BAT). Each altcoin listed on the Abra platform leverages a crypto-backed stablecoin model where investors are essentially trading derivatives on the price movement of each asset, similar to what is done on the Robinhood platform.

Perhaps most significantly, the recent news that Gemini, the cryptocurrency exchange founded by the Winklevoss twins, will be listing Litecoin (LTC) and expanding into the United Kingdom. Both of these moves directly place the exchange in direct competition with Coinbase.

​​⛓🖥Version 4.11.1 of Ethereum-wallet MetaMask began supporting Ledger wallets.

The new feature will combine cold wallet security and the convenience of hot wallet.

Ledger owners will be able to use the extension to sign transactions and messages (for example, to enter the CryptoKitties site), and to check the account balance in ETH or tokens.

You can connect the hardware wallet Ledger to the MetaMask extension using the "Connect Hardware Wallet" menu item. The Ledger account can be deleted from the extension at any time.

When a user needs to sign something, he connects the device to the computer, and the extension sends a request. Transactions and messages are signed in the hardware wallet, while private keys do not leave the device limits. When the device is disconnected from the computer, MetaMask will continue to show the account balance.

​​☑️The 0xProject launched a new version 2.0 of the open protocol of the decentralized crypto exchange 0x. It is a new system of smart contracts in the network Ethereum.

The first version of the protocol allowed using open liquidity pools and reducing the costs associated with trading. Version v2.0 opens new opportunities for developers, in particular, provides additional modularity and extensibility.

0x v2.0 is also responsible for accessing and exchanging all the ERC-20 and NFT standards tokens. The developers noted that new features of v2.0 are available for the first version of the 0x protocol.

​​✅Bitcoin-based exchange EOSfinex has published a roadmap for its new decentralized trading platform.

Beta launch of the site will take place in November 2018, but it is not known whether it will be available to everyone or only a group of testers. The release of the full version of EOSfinex is scheduled for January next year.

EOSfinex will demonstrate high performance, thanks to the interconnection of EOSIO and Bitfinex technologies, and the complete decentralization of the exchange will allow placing and matching orders within the EOS blockchain.

Initially, the platform will support three trading pairs: EOS / USD, BTC / USD and ETH / USD. In the future, the number of supported tokens will grow due to the flexibility of the EOSfinex exchange contract.

Crypto Cooldown: Iceland’s Bitcoin Miners Turn to Blockchain Enterprise

Iceland has long been a prominent hub of bitcoin mining due to 98% of its electricity coming from renewable geothermal energy and a cold climate favoring mining farms which must be kept cool can run massive air conditioning bills in warmer areas.

The power usage effectiveness (PUE) of the country is as low as 1.03, almost twice as cost-effective as many nearby countries in continental Europe where the average is 1.78. As such, Iceland is home to international mining firms like Genesis and BitFury which have set up in the nation to capitalize on the natural advantages and now dwarf many of the local mining enterprises. The establishment of these enterprises was motivated in some cases by the impact of the 2008 financial crisis on the Icelandic economy which wiped 60% of the value from the Iceland krone, the local fiat currency.

Bitcoin mining is so prevalent that the energy consumption of mining in Iceland is set to overtake that of the households of the 340,000 locals living on the small island. 600 mining rigs were famously stolen in a major heist earlier this year, making headlines across the world and drawing attention to the scale of some of the local mining farms.

However, bitcoin mining took a huge hit after the market crashed in December 2017, sending the price of one BTC from an ATH of $19,783 to $6,362 at the time of writing and causing many mining enterprises around the world to mine BTC at cost or even at a loss, leading to speculation that the days of the Icelandic mining boom were over.

Halldór Jörgensson, chairman of Borealis Data Center confirmed this in a recent interview with Red Herring, stating that the infrastructure has now been created in Iceland to pursue other blockchain-related business ventures:

“The demand is…shifting more towards the pure blockchain business. So you could say that the bitcoin wave, the big wave of bitcoin demand, has helped us to build out really fast, because there were really aggressive or interested parties who wanted to do things and we managed to do the build-out.

We strongly believe that when the whole bitcoin thing has settled down to some kind of a level that is not as crazy as it was a year ago … another wave that crops up that will utilize these infrastructures that have been built up during the bitcoin mining phase.”

It may well be that bitcoin mining will suffer a permanent decline in the country, but instead of closing up shop completely, those already working in the cryptocurrency space are now exploring other options – blockchain enterprise, a growing industry that is set to reach a value of $2.3 billion by 2021.

Circle Internet Financial Ltd. is launching a USD-backed digital token dubbed the “USD Coin,” Circle’s blog reports Wednesday, September 26.

A consortium called Centre — which includes Bitmain Technologies Ltd. among its members — will act as a platform for deposits and fiat conversions for the stablecoin. Bloomberg notes that although Centre is a “wholly owned subsidiary of Circle,” there are plans in plan to turn it into an independent organization.

The USD Coin will reportedly be available on Circle’s Poloniex exchange, as well as Huobi, OKCoin, KuCoin, and digital wallet and exchange Coinbase. As per Circle’s release, over 20 companies are about to announce support for the USDC, while others might add trading through the open ERC-20 standard.
