    Is anyone working on ProgPoW for Constantinople?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2018 01:15 PM PST

    Is anyone still working on ProgPoW? With the delay of Constantinople, it seems like it should be reconsidered for inclusion in the Constantinople hard fork.

    What risks do a stolen private key mean to the rest of a BIP39 Ethereum keychain?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2018 07:09 PM PST

    Assume a properly seeded BIP39 key chain of Ethereum keys. The private key belonging to one (only one) of the Ethereum addresses becomes compromised by an attacker.

    Scenario A: the attacker doesn't know anything else.

    Scenario B: the attacker knows some of the other addresses (but only the addresses).

    In each scenario, how endangered is the master private key or other private keys in the key chain?

    .

    A long time ago there was a discussion about this in Bitcoin, and the take-away was (if my memory is not too foggy) that the leaking of one private key makes it easier to guess the master private key. I wonder if this is the case for Ethereum BIP39 key chains as well.

    Personal opinion: MakerDAO will make banks obsolete while OMG destroys VISA and MasterCard

    Posted: 26 Nov 2018 01:31 AM PST

    MakerDAO is literally creating a bank run by math on the Blockchain and is issuing money with the creation of DAIs. I can very clearly see small businesses accepting DAI as a method of payment to replace their old bank terminals to save the 2-3% fess they steal them.

    But DAI as a payment system works only if its very fast to transfer (1-2 seconds) and can provide a cheap FIAT gateway to allow merchants to turn their DAIs in USD. This is exactly what OMG is building with their plasma DEX.

    We might have to wait 6-12 months to witness this but adoption is coming. It won't be with BTC but with stablecoins built on top of Ethereum.

    We are creating a more efficient banking system that they won't be able to fight.

    Island Nations Emerge as Regulatory Leaders in Growing Fintech Markets

    Posted: 26 Nov 2018 09:03 AM PST

    On October 18th, the government of Bermuda announced that it had approved the first ICO project any applicant had submitted under the nation's new fintech regulatory regime. This represents an important step forward for the expansion of cryptocurrency and blockchain-based financial services in the Caribbean, which has long been valued as a hub of financial activities. And if the growing acceptance of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology in the island nations are any indication of the times, we're sure to see better fintech regulations emerge on the world stage. This is a critical step forward for the mainstreaming of cryptocurrency across the globe, a critical goal for Halo Platform and the rest of the innovators working hard to bring the benefits of financial technology to everyone.

    Blockchain in the Islands

    Uulala, a U.S. based fintech company, recently became the first company to commence a government-approved ICO in Bermuda. Uulala moved forward with the capital raise after gaining approval from the country's government regulator. The ICO project took around four months to review, and its approval is conditioned upon the project following Bermuda's new regulatory framework.

    Many cryptocurrency advocates are hopeful that Uulala's success in the Caribbean foreshadows good things for fintech development in the islands. This can bring valuable financial services to populations who lack access to mainstream banking Oscar Garcia, Uulala's CEO, stated that Uulala is owned predominantly by Latinos and targets Latino users without access to mainstream financial services. It's possible that this positive social impact weighed in on the ICO approval decision, but by no means is Uulala running a charity. The company has already raised $10 million of its $50 million capital raise goal for its ICO, and it's hoping to cash in on the untapped financial services markets in rural parts of the Caribbean and Latin America.

    Why Bermuda?

    Bermuda has been leading the game in the Caribbean blockchain cryptocurrency markets, and the island has taken a bold stance on the mainstreaming of blockchain currency and digital coin trade. The country recently passed a law allowing for accelerated approval of ICO projects and currently has a law in-the-works to facilitate opening even more opportunities for altcoin traders.

    Garcia emphasized that Uulala was particularly attracted to Bermuda as a strategic location for growing its business. This is due to the nation's strong reputation as a financial focal point and for its forward-thinking strategies involving blockchain currency and fintech. The blockchain and cryptocurrency markets are still maturing, and they need good incubators to assist help them join the mainstream. However, blockchain currency firms are leery to start operations within countries that have yet to define their fintech regulations clearly.

    In FinTech Regulation, Clarity is Key

    Countries around the world are beginning to accept the fact that blockchain-powered digital coins are a legitimate currency. Islands, such as Bermuda, have been the driving force behind this movement - but they aren't alone. Other nations that rely on robust financial services such as Malta, Antigua, and Barbuda are attracting more and more blockchain and cryptocurrency exchange platforms due to their favorable regulatory conditions.

    One of the most exciting things about the fintech revolution is the fact that it's cross-jurisdictional. Blockchain technology can provide people with financial services that they desperately need without the interference of international boundaries. However, one of the most significant challenges facing today's cryptocurrency market is the variation in digital coin regulation across most countries. Countries that maintain clear cut rules and regulations on digital coin exchange, are attracting cryptocoin firms from all over the world. Bermuda's regulatory advancement represents a huge step in the right direction for the mainstreaming of digital coin and blockchain-based currency.
