โ€‹โ€‹๐Ÿ“ฒHTC will present HTC Exodus phone with support for blockchain on October 22.

The company started the development of its blockchain smartphone in May this year. In July, it became known that Exodus will support Litecoin cryptocurrency and Lightning Network protocol.

The developers also promised to introduce support for Bitcoin, Ethereum and Dfinity. However, the HTC team has not yet disclosed the technical characteristics of the device.
London-based Christie's, one of the oldest and most noted art auction houses in the world, is turning to blockchain tech to securely store sales and provenance data.

The firm, which has a history going back to 1766, announced in a press release Thursday that it is collaborating with blockchain-powered digital art registry Artory to pilot the encrypted recording of auction transactions.

The pilot program will register Christie's upcoming autumn sale of artworks from the Barney A. Ebsworth Collection, a privately-held collection of 20th century Modernist American art, which is estimated to bring in $300 million in total.

๐Ÿ’ฆ 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 โ€˜Zero Carbon Marketโ€™ 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 โ€˜recycledโ€™ and provided to consumers as rewards for engaging with the Zero Carbon Project. Energy suppliers and consumers (โ€œCustomersโ€) 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
The Zero Carbon Project is a subsidiary of Beond www.beondgroup.com which is an award-winning energy and carbon consultancy based in London. Beond is a team of 30 energy market professionals who are passionate about helping clients achieve their ambitions and also about tackling global climate change, through the application of new technologies. Our core values are integrity, innovation and quality.
Beond services over 600 energy consumers in UK including Knight Frank, Capita, The Salvation Army and Salford County Council, and has received eight awards over the last three years covering innovation, green business and consultancy services.

โ€‹โ€‹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 โ€“ AND INTEGRATION โ€“ 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 gamerโ€™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 organizationโ€™s properties or financial statements.

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

BITFINEX exchange.
โ€‹โ€‹๐Ÿ’ปWasabi Wallet with integrated Tor browser and the beta version of desktop bitcoin wallet with support for CoinJoin technology is now available for MacOS users.


๐Ÿ’กWasabi Wallet is an open source noncustodial Bitcoin wallet developed and offered by zkSNACKs Ltd. There are many Bitcoin wallets available for use but Wasabi is different from the others in its privacy focus.

Since Bitcoin transactions are traceable, there is a need for a wallet that specializes on privacy. While making bank wire transfers, electronic money transfers (PayPal, etc.) we enjoy financial privacy, since other than the service provider, no one is able to find out information on our spendings, nor our account balances. Why donโ€™t we deserve the same privacy while using Bitcoin? Wasabi Wallet not only facilitates the level of privacy as our traditional banking system does, but goes a step further and even provides privacy for you against the service provider. Against Wasabi Wallet itself. Wasabi is an open source, MIT licensed, free software. If you wish to contribute or want to find out the nuts and bolts of it, please visit our GitHub page.

โ€‹โ€‹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 โ€“ the operator of land titling and registry operations in the state โ€“ is launching a proof-of-concept (PoC) trial to gauge if blockchain is the best way to go, according to local news outlet CIO.
โ€‹โ€‹Ever since MtGox announced Litecoin support in 2013 and failed to deliver, I've been on a mission to get LTC added to exchanges to help increase liquidity.

โ€‹โ€‹๐ŸคBitfinex partnered with Hong Kong Bank of Communications.

Payments will be made through a private account of Prosperity Revenue Merchandising Limited.

Citibank acts as a correspondent bank when transferring funds from Bank of Communications to the USA. Wells Fargo also performed the same role for Bitfinex partners in Taiwan before suspending the processing of iFinex Inc. services. and Tether Ltd. in April 2017.

At the same time, Tether Ltd. has entered into an agreement with the Bahamian Deltec Bank. Operators of some OTC platforms also expressed a desire to open accounts with this bank for direct cooperation with the issuer USDT.
โ€‹โ€‹๐Ÿ› Monero will be hardforked on October 18.

The developers expect that the size of anonymous transactions on the Monero network will decrease by 80%, and the commissions will be significantly reduced.

The Monero protocol involves three different mechanisms to ensure the anonymity of users: stealth addresses, circular signatures, and RingCT. At the same time, the latter requires complex calculations and time, which makes the maintenance of a full node extremely expensive. That's why it will be replaced by the Bulletproofs technology.

Bulletproofs allows you to aggregate transaction information into new data structures that can be logarithmically rather than linearly scaled.

The network update also contains a number of changes to the mining algorithm aimed at fighting ASIC miners.
