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: Icelandโs 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.
Halldรณr Jรถrgensson, 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:
โThe demand isโฆshifting 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 โฆ another wave that crops up that will utilize these infrastructures that have been built up during the bitcoin mining phase.โ
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 โ blockchain enterprise, a growing industry that is set to reach a value of $2.3 billion by 2021.

๐ 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!
The Pre-ICO with up to 25% bonus will start on 1st of September, you can already put yourself on the interest list on their website by clicking "Register Your Interest" and filling out your data.

Chinese tech giant Baidu releases โSuper Chainโ white paper
Chinese search engine and web services company Baidu has released the Baidu Blockchain White Paper V1.0 on Wednesday, September 26, which describes the development of a โSuper Chainโ network system.
Baidu Blockchain Lab released the blockchain white paper focused on โthe independent development of the โSuper Chainโ network system.โ The paper introduces the idea of commercializing the Baidu cloud blockchain blockchain-as-a-service (BaaS) platform in addition to six applications based on the Super Chain; Totem, Degree Universe, Baidu Association, Treasure Chest, Encyclopedia Online, and Hubert.
According to the white paper, Baiduโs Super Chain is more efficient than a traditional blockchain in that performs with a higher degree of hardware utilization. Per Baidu, Super Chain nodes โuse multi-core parallel computing to maximize CPU utilization and increase throughput.โ
The Super Chain is a stereo network that supports parallel sidechains. There is a root chain, which manages parallel chains and the operating guidelines of the entire network, that supports data exchange with each chain.
The Super Chain operates on what is dubbed a โpluggable consensus mechanism.โ Within the network, the Super Chain allows different parallel chains to choose their own consensus mechanisms. It also supports consensus escalation through a voting mechanism.
The white paper states that Baidu will focus on applying the technology in food safety, product quality, new retail, new manufacturing, supply chain finance, intellectual property and trading, travel, tourism and social networking.
Modular services with the Baidu Super Chain will include scenarios in certification, digital rights, clearing and settlement, supply chain finance, digital assets, and games.
In June, the internet search giant revealed its Super Chain protocol in the context of reducing energy consumption in cryptocurrency mining operations.

โโ๐The Red Belly blockchain, that was developed by the State Association of Scientific and Applied Research was able to process 30,000 transactions per second.
Testing was carried out on the basis of the cloud services infrastructure Amazon Web Services.
In previous tests, the blockchain demonstrated much more impressive results - up to 660 thousand transactions per second, which is ten times higher than the performance of the Visa payment system. However, at that time the experiment was conducted on the basis of a local network of 300 machines.
The last test was conducted on the basis of 1000 virtual machines from 14 geographical regions, including the countries of North America, Europe, South America and the Asia-Pacific region.

Bloomberg: RIG trend lines indicate Bitcoin may see a Multi-Week Bull Run
Leading financial news outlet Bloomberg, which is well-regarded for both its fundamental and technical analysis across markets, believes that one technical chart indicates that a Bitcoin(BTC) bull run could be just around the corner.
According to a recent articleby Bloomberg, RIG trend lines, a technical indicator that analyzes the relative strength index (RSI) compared to the momentum gauge, the price of Bitcoin could be gearing up for a multi-week long bull run.
โThe momentum gauge crossed the relative strength index (RSI) gauge, which could be indicating a positive price movement is on the horizon,โ noted Bloomberg. โBitcoinโs price rose the past three times the two gauges crossed.โ
Is the fourth time the momentum gauge has crossed the RSI gauge in 2018. After each time this has occurred, Bitcoinโs price has risen in the following trading sessions. Notably, the last time this occurred in mid-August, Bitcoin surged over 21% over the next three weeks.
Since making the technical call, Bitcoinโs price has jumped from $6,503 to over $6,700 as bulls regain control. BTC currently has a $116 billion market cap, the largest cryptocurrency in the AltDex 100 Index (ALT100).

๐ 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!
The Pre-ICO with up to 25% bonus will start on 1st of September, you can already put yourself on the interest list on their website by clicking "Register Your Interest" and filling out your data.

The Mobu project, which delivers a product which is genuinely needed, is managed by a strong team and advisory board with lots of experience in a broad spectrum.

Security tokens are apparently "the future of Crypto", and thus, we expect Mobu to be a strong player and a success story in this area.

๐ฅ Tom Lee: Ethereum will โrally stronglyโ up to $1,900 by the end of 2019
Major altcoin ETH is about to see a โtrend reversal and rally stronglyโ up to $1,900 per token by the end of 2019, according to Fundstrat head of research Tom Lee, as Bloomberg reported September 27.
In a note to clients of Fundstrat Global Advisors, Lee noted the โoverly negativeโ sentiment on the Ethereum market, which he says will be a basis for its strong rebound in the near future.
In his prediction, Lee has referenced the historical performance of Ethereum, citing that the times when the altcoin โunderperformed peers by two standard deviations,โ the price trend saw a subsequent reverse.
Lee concluded that Ethereum will reach $1,900 by the end of 2019 โ a price point that is at least 40 percent higher than Ethereumโs all-time high of $1,349, recorded on January 13, 2018. The price of Ethereum is $230 at press time, meaning that the altcoinโs price will surge by 726 percent by the end of the year, according to Lee.
