🗣 How To Migrate From DMDv3 to DMDv4 After Launching✨✨
When DMDv4 gets launched, a common question expected from the community is how to efficiently transit from DMDv3 to DMDv4 - without losing your former coins. Over the years of our blockchain existence, being community-centric is one of our competitive advantages, and we would not afford to jeopardise the trust of the community in our ecosystem.
All DMDv3 coin holders are eligible to claim an equal amount on DMDv4 within the claiming period or else, your coin would return into a pool of coins in circulation. Therefore, the proof of ownership of DMDv3 serves as eligibility for the address holder to claim an equal amount of DMDv4 coins.
However, it should be noted that the claiming of DMDv4 coins can't change anything on the DMDv3 chain - as what you're doing isn't technically a swap, but just an entitlement to claim the equivalent DMDv4 coins. Once your address claimed the DMDv4 equivalent coins, you cannot repeat using the same address again.

🗣 CC0 NFTs - A Game Changer In The NFT Space
Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) have arguably brought a lot of traction to blockchain technology. Over the years, it has proven to be the remedy for digital ownership and intellectual property bottlenecks.
That has led to enormous revenue opportunities for non-fungible token holders - by allowing creators, brands, and businesses to utilize their NFT artwork for a fee. Furthermore, brands, creators and NFT collections could also make use of NFT images as a brand-building exercise, following permission from the main NFT holder. That's how disruptive NFTs are in the industry.
However, a new class of NFTs termed CC0 NFTs, has taken the NFT spaces by storm. From 2021 till date, significant NFT projects have modelled the CC0 route. Projects like Nouns, Cryptoadz, Moonbirds, Cryptoteddies and, Loot, amongst others.

🗣 Blockchain Hacks - How DMD Diamond Blockchain Safeguards The Ecosystem From Cyber Hacks? 👏💫
The inherent security brought about by Blockchain technology has continued to revolutionize our traditional ways of financial obligations and information transmissions. All thanks to cryptographic protocols and primitives - that support and secure the blockchain ecosystem.
However, blockchains are still prone to attacks by cybercriminals - people with an entire mindset to exploit the system for their financial gains. Cryptocurrency projects today are getting hacked. Scammers are setting up rug pulls to steal from crypto investors.
According to data reported by Slowmist Hacked - a database that compiles information on disclosed attacks against blockchain projects, a total of 871 hack events have been recorded so far. That has amounted to a loss of over 28 billion dollars.

🗣 Adoption Of Cryptocurrency Payments On Twitter - What's The Fate Of DMD Diamond Coin?
The recent acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk - one of the major supporters and influencers of things around cryptocurrency, has brought a lot of speculation about the adoption of crypto payments on Twitter.
This is because Elon Musk is regarded as a self-proclaimed leader of Dogecoin. Hence, he could initiate Dogecoin payments for Twitter blue services. There are reports that he shall do so. Because of that report only, the meme coin - Dogecoin surged by nearly 70% within mere hours in the last couple of days.
It's a no-brainer that Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter is for more for-profit reasons. Within his recent acquisition of Twitter, you could only get your account a verified badge henceforth on Twitter only when you subscribe to a monthly fee of $8. Something that was a free service before.

Exchange Tokens — What Are They and Their Risks?
The recent meltdown of FTX’s native token — FTT, has brought another limelight to what exchange tokens are and their risks. This article…
🗣 FTX Meltdown - Triggering The Need For More and Adoption Rates Of Decentralised Crypto Exchanges 💫
FTX - a centralized crypto exchange breakdown has arguably reminded us of the need to shift away from the centralized structure of crypto exchanges. That's where decentralized exchanges come in, serving as an alternative to solving the challenges with centralized crypto exchanges and markets.
In a recent tweet by Jonah Van Bourg - the Cumberland's Head of Trading emphasized the need why the crypto market structure needed to mirror foreign exchange markets whose assets and capital aren't on centralized exchanges. He emphasized further that digital assets should reside in infinite silos around the world, while the roles of custody, settlement, lending, and most importantly liquidity should be offered by an array of intermediary nodes and providers in an interconnected but non-interdependent web.

🗣 Can the Government/Regulators Mediate Future Crypto Crashes?
Beyond the recent FTX meltdown's consequences on the crypto market, many have queried why there haven't been signs of maturity around creating a sustainable framework for regulating crypto, following many unprecedented cryptocurrency crashes.
Some have suggested government and regulators should come into action to provide regulatory frameworks that protect investors, stakers, and validators, among others within the crypto ecosystem and ensures their financial stability at all times, without halting innovations and nurturing the attractive use-cases brought forward by the crypto asset industry.

🗣️ Amidst Calls To Develop Regulatory Framework For Crypto Industry, Releasing Proof of Reserves (PoR) Audits Appears To Be A Good Start!
The recent FTX breakdown has arguably increased the call to develop a sustainable regulatory framework for the crypto industry. While some are in support, others are against it - as they believe crypto self-regulates itself, and any effort should be directed towards the betterment of characters in the crypto industry.
However, amidst the calls, a new practice has surfaced over the recent weeks where centralized exchanges release their Proof of Reserves (PoR) - an alternative to showcase transparency in absence of clear regulations. PoR is an independent audit outsourced to a third party to ascertain if a custodian holds assets it claims to own on behalf of its clients.

🗣️ On-chain Data Analyst Predicts A Bullish Push For Bitcoin.
A recent interview conducted by Giovanni Pigni - a video journalist at Cointelegraph with Will Clemente - an on-chain data analyst, juxtaposed how on-chain data present reasons to be bullish on Bitcoin.
First off, Will Clemente justifies his assertion by emphasizing how long-term holders of Bitcoin reached an all-time high despite declining profitability - even to an extent of an all-time low. He further established that long-term holders hold bitcoin heavily into the bear market, of which they distribute their holdings to new market entrants in the bull market.

🗣️ Wrapped Tokens - Would DMD Diamond Blockchain Support It?
One of the key offerings of DMD Diamond Blockchain is supporting interoperability across blockchains. That is where Wrapped Tokens come into place - a welcome solution for solving interoperability issues between blockchains, as more blockchains are coming into existence.
Wrapped tokens help to move assets across blockchains. They are also assets themselves - helping to transfer the value of a native asset from one blockchain to another. An example of the wrapped token is WBTC (wrapped bitcoin) on ERC-20 or TRC-20 tokens, hence could be used and traded on the Ethereum and Tron blockchains.

🗣️ 2023 Could Be The Year Of Crypto Regulation Versus Decentralisation
Following the unprecedented events that happened in the crypto industry, many reasons have been aired to establish a sustainable regulatory framework for the Crypto industry. Many are curious that despite the first crypto asset - Bitcoin existed over a decade ago, the regulatory terrain for crypto-assets remains a dark forest. Hence, many look forward to the novel, sustainable regulatory frameworks from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) - the crypto’s primary U.S. market regulator, in 2023.
While SEC leveled up their enforcement squad for crypto assets in 2022, it appeared they will do more in 2023. Gary Gensler - the SEC chair holds the view that the majority of crypto assets are securities - a security type termed investment contracts and therefore most crypto-asset issuers and intermediaries should be subjected to the same laws and regulations as other securities issuers and intermediaries.

🗣️ DMD Diamond Blockchain Updates For December ✨✨
Dear community,
Here are the developments that happened on our blockchain in December 👇
1️⃣ We worked on a general update of all crypto, rlp, and Ethereum libraries that are used in the node software and started dropping features we do not need, like Stratos Mining, that became just an unnecessary burden to bear. Since Parity Technologies has dropped any further development on DevP2P and parity-crypto, we are now integrating parity-crypto in our repository.
2️⃣ We are in the process of getting our native coin listed on Bitmart as soon as possible to support P2PB2B. They also promised to support v3 to v4 switch. To support development, you can use this referral to create your account there -https://www.bitmart.com/register-referral/en?r=AnseRF
