​​♻️For every kilogram of plastic waste, the Norwegian blockchain startup Empower offers one EMP token, equivalent to one US dollar.

To receive a reward, you need to deliver plastic waste to special collection points. At the same time, the blockchain technology provides transparency of the transaction. Empower distributes coins at the expense of own funds and donations.

EMP owners can use coins in the Empower ecosystem or sell them for local currency.

In late October, Mayer plans to launch a Bali garbage collection system.
💦 ZERO CARBON - TACKLING CLIMATE CHANGE USING BLOCKCHAIN

The Zero Carbon Project is tackling climate change using the blockchain and international carbon credits.
Renewable energy has responded well to the climate change challenge, with impressive cost reductions achieved. However, we are concerned that renewables remain too expensive and so the impact on carbon emissions is slow.

Innovative solution
The Zero Carbon Project has 2 parts:
1. deliver energy at a lower price than existing renewable and fossil fuel energy contracts; and
2. to entice people to use the Zero Carbon Project, provide a blockchain-driven incentive scheme to reward consumers for engaging with the Zero Carbon Project and encourage consumer action.
The first part of our solution consists of a competitive ‘Zero Carbon Market’ which provides consumers access to cheaper energy contracts where the carbon emissions have been offset by international carbon credits.
Secondly, our blockchain economy is based on Energis tokens that have been designed to capture the future value that customers receive form our Market. This is enabled using the distributed ledger, Ethereum smart contracts and crypto exchanges.
Energis tokens are underpinned by concrete value as energy suppliers must use them to pay their transaction fees for using our Market. Therefore, as our consumer base grows, the demand for Energis tokens increases, constrained by a fixed supply.
We intend that up to 70% of the transaction fees received by the Zero Carbon Project will be ‘recycled’ and provided to consumers as rewards for engaging with the Zero Carbon Project. Energy suppliers and consumers (“Customers”) can sell Energis tokens to other customers, including energy suppliers who purchase them to pay transaction fees. This is the Energis economic cycle.

Progress achieved to date
We have been actively building the Zero Carbon Market over the last year. This includes building the Project team, completing the systems, designing the Energis smart contracts and registering energy suppliers in the UK. Our UK Market is now complete and ready for launch in October 2018. This will be followed by a global roll out in 2019.

Track-record of innovation and execution

Open-source coders backing the ethereum project now say its next system-wide upgrade, Constantinople, is on track for November release.

Revealed in a bi-weekly developers meeting Friday, attendees said the upgrade has already been coded into all major ethereum clients, including those by the Ethereum Foundation and U.K. startup Parity, the most popular versions of the software that now moves more than $20 billion in cryptocurrency.

As such, developers said during the call that the upgrade is likely to go live this year. Still, a hard date has yet to be finalized, in which an activation time – triggered at a particular block – would be built into the code
Blockchain finance firm Clearmatics Technologies has raised over $12 million in a Series A funding round led by venture capital firm Route 66 Ventures.

Additional investment in the funding round came from private equity firm TNF Capital and XTX Ventures, the venture capital arm of electronic market-making firm XTX Markets.

As part of the arrangement, Samir Khosla, a managing partner at TNF Capital, will join Clearmatics' board of directors.
Vitalik Buterin reveals amount of ETH he’s holding
Vitalik Buterin has revealed how much ETH he’s holding. The founder of the Ethereum blockchain responded to allegations by NYU economist and critic of cryptocurrencies Nouriel Roubini, who labeled Buterin and Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin as thieves and scammers.

Later Buterin released a statement which contained detailed information on all his holdings and trades. According to the statement, the 24-year-old developer holds no more than 365,003 ETH, currently worth just under $73,7 million. During Ethereum’s peak in 2017, such an amount would have been worth more than $500 million, but according to the Ethereum co-founder, he had ‘considerably less than 0.9%’ of all ETH at the time.

Buterin did confirm he has other addresses, but claimed they are ‘quite small’ compared to the one he shared. He also stated the Ethereum Foundation currently holds around $660,000, and has at most owned around $3 million.

Often nicknamed ‘Dr. Doom’ for predicting the 2008 financial crisis, Nouriel Roubini accused Buterin of ill actions after the Ethereum founder tweeted a prediction for a financial crisis ‘some time between now and 2021’. Buterin’s statement seemed to be a jab at financial doomsayers who try to predict financial crises.

Roubini responded to the tweet, telling Butering to ‘just shut up’ and criticizing him for not delivering on his promises of Proof of Stake and a ‘scalable, decentralized & secure’ system. After Buterin’s response, Roubini went on to attack the crypto sphere as a whole, using today’s drop in prices as an argument. During the debacle, Roubini was targeted by supporters and ‘fans’ of Ethereum and Vitalik, who attacked him on Twitter for his perceived ‘lack of expertise’. Roubini was scheduled to debate Coin Center tomorrow at a congressional hearing on cryptocurrency.
​​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.

Former chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Gary Gensler said that most tokens sold through Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) should be classified as securities.

Should cryptocurrencies be considered securities, they would fall under the regulatory purview of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Issuers of coins would have to comply with certain laws, register with the SEC, and disclose specific information like a description of the organization’s properties or financial statements.

When asked whether blockchain technology should be regulated, Gensler asserted that “we should be technology-neutral.” He continued, stressing the necessity to ensure investor protection within certain blockchain applications, such as cryptocurrencies.

​​Tron developer update: 90 smart contracts deployed and counting
The activation of the Tron (TRX) Virtual Machine last week was particularly important in the sense that developers could now develop smart contracts that would power Decentralized Applications on the network. By the 13th of October, reports had indicated that there had been 82 smart contracts deployed on the Tron platform. These contracts had been called 40,658 times at the time of the report.

At the time of the tweet by Marcus, there was no way for regular folks like you and I to track the smart contracts on the Tron platform. However, Tron believer Misha Lederman, notified the Tron Community of the availability of a site to track the smart contracts on the platform.
As part of a plan to put all property transactions into the digital realm, a department of Australia's New South Wales (NSW) government is turning to blockchain technology.

With the state having ordered the digitization of all property transactions from July 1, 2019, NSW Land Registry Services – the operator of land titling and registry operations in the state – is launching a proof-of-concept (PoC) trial to gauge if blockchain is the best way to go, according to local news outlet CIO.
