    Conversation on Twitter between Vitalik and Elon Musk

    At this right moment 1ETH=154$. And look how much ETH you'll get for this exact price on this website...

    Tether is confirmed to be at best only 60% backed, but this is fine

    Posted: 29 Apr 2019 03:47 PM PDT

    Sure, it is now confirmed that Bitfinex has been massively insolvent for at least 6 months, and that the fact was covered up by silently siphoning about a third of Tether reserves.
    But the price is good, the volume is good, people are still trading at Bitfinex, everyone seems ok with the events that are currently unfolding.

    Of course, it is known that they are under public investigation for fraud by the NY OAG.
    But that's okay, I don't feel bad about this, things are going to be ok.

    Power Ledger reveals Australian Government Smart Cities project for 100% renewable energy

    Posted: 29 Apr 2019 10:47 PM PDT

    Highlights

    East Village Knutsford, a former industrial site 5km from Fremantle town centre, will become an innovation hub for sustainable living.

    Future residents will generate and share power with each other using their own microgrid and battery storage. Energy costs will be slashed by about 50%, saving residents around $1200 per annum. Power Ledger has unveiled a 100 per cent renewable energy residential development in partnership with the WA Government land developer LandCorp and the Australian Government Smart Cities initiative.

    LandCorp's East Village at Knutsford will be a showcase for energy-efficient residential development, featuring blockchain-ready homes, a microgrid supply network for water and power and a shared on-site battery.

    "The property industry is in a unique position to drive energy change from the ground up. This project highlights how developers can choose to make smarter, more efficient choices when it comes to homes," said David Martin, managing director and co-founder of Power Ledger.

    Mayor of Fremantle Brad Pettitt, Power Ledger Co-founder and Chair Dr Jemma Green, Curtin University Sustainability Institute, Director JBA Dr Josh Byrne, and Minister for Lands Ben Wyatt. (L-R) The development is part of the Australian Government's Smart Cities and Suburbs initiative, which will see a 670kW/h shared battery ultimately owned and shared by the individual homeowners.

    "Power Ledger's platform allows residents to sell excess solar power from the panels on their roofs directly to their neighbours at a better price, rather than selling back to the traditional grid."

    Future residents of the 36 townhouse urban village will generate their own power using individual 5kW PV solar systems and then share renewable energy using the Power Ledger platform across a microgrid.

    "Our energy trading software gives people the option to purchase green energy rather than energy from fossil fuel sources, even if they don't have solar panels on their own home," said Mr Martin.

    The development includes a microgrid supply network for water and power, a shared on-site battery provided by Power Ledger, and each home will be fitted with an electric vehicle charger.

    "The mix of innovations at East Village at Knutsford provides a great insight into what it is possible for us to achieve in modern sustainable residential infill developments," said WA Government Lands Minister Ben Wyatt.

    Using 100 per cent renewable energy from PVs battery and green electricity from the grid, the 1.5-hectare development will set new benchmarks for affordable and sustainable living in Western Australia.

    "LandCorp is leading by doing, and this project demonstrates to the wider construction industry just what is possible in creating connected and affordable communities," said Mr Wyatt.

    East Village at Knutsford will be tracked and assessed by an on-site living laboratory, in partnership with Curtin University. The research program will build a dataset to demonstrate the value of the innovations and work towards WA's second One Planet Living accreditation.

    Power Ledger's SaaS energy trading platform is currently being trialled in several places across Western Australia as well as in Thailand, Japan and the United States.

    Angenium...seem to have disappeared after STO

    Posted: 29 Apr 2019 09:37 PM PDT

    Been looking at STO opportunities and came across Angenium that profess to turn waste into gems and even allegedly applied to SEC for expansion on the project. based in Estonia...turns out they seem to have disappeared [eye roll]. Anyone know anything about this Angenium project and what happened?

    Also werent STO's supposed to be the way forward to make sure that less criminality was in the crypto space willing to run off with our money? Or am I just being naive thinking that Secure Tokens ventures are regulated and more trustworthy?

    Bitfinex Faces Legal Action From NY Attorney General: Here’s What This Means

    Posted: 29 Apr 2019 10:06 AM PDT

    If in doubt, double down. How to print another Billion and get away with it.

    Bitfinex clearly feeling victorious just because they are still standing, the price of (their) BTC is pumping and life must just looks rosy when you seem to be untouchable. so why the hell not, print another billion by running an IEO. good luck chaps.

    We should’t be tolerating KYC/AML policies

    Posted: 29 Apr 2019 07:45 PM PDT

    It's still surprising how people don't know what privacy means and why KYC is a violation of it.

    "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear."

    OK, I get it. You're a good guy. You never did anything wrong and you believe that everyone trying to protect his privacy must be doing something illegal. But let me tell you: if I wanted to ask for permission and to be verified each time I make a transaction, I'd be pushing credit cards and traditional financial services.

    Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies give me freedom to transact what I want when I want. Can this technology be misused? Yes, totally. That doesn't mean I should be punished. KYC and AML regulations are just the first movement from the governments and financial institutions to impose their power over Bitcoin.

    We should be completely rejecting these policies, not endorsing it or justifying their existence.

    Want me to prove my identity to open an account on this exchange? No, thanks. Want me to tell you where I live in order to buy this token? No, thank you. Want me to give you the possibility of stealing my funds if you happen to not like me for some reason? Go flick yourselves.

    Banks and financial institutions will try to seduce you to accept their control. If they don't succeed, they will try to force you. But remember: in the big equation of Bitcoin they do not play any role. You are your bank. With Bitcoin, you are in control.

    Rapidly Growing Electrum Botnet Infects Over 152,000 Users; Steals $4.6 Million

    Posted: 30 Apr 2019 03:28 AM PDT

    An ongoing attack against Electrum Bitcoin wallets has just grown bigger and stronger with attackers now targeting the whole infrastructure of the exchange with a botnet of over 152,000 infected users, raising the amount of stolen users' funds to USD 4.6 million.

    Electrum has been facing cyber attacks since December last year when a team of cybercriminals exploited a weakness in the Electrum infrastructure to trick wallet users into downloading the malicious versions of the software.

    In brief, the attackers added some malicious servers to the Electrum peer network which were designed to purposely display an error to legitimate Electrum wallet apps, urging them to download a malicious wallet software update from an unofficial GitHub repository.

    Is The Financial Stability Board (FSB) On Point With Enterprise Blockchain Adoption?

    Posted: 30 Apr 2019 01:12 AM PDT

    Any exchanges besides coinbase that allow recurring automatic purchases?

    Posted: 29 Apr 2019 02:08 PM PDT

    The issues I have with coinbase's recurring purchases are as follows * high fees, $3 per purchase is rediculous * CAN'T MODIFY WHEN THE PURCHASE HAPPENS WITHOUT MAKING A NEW PURCHASE... wtf is this? * to expand for those that aren't aware. Say you have a purchase for $100 ETH every Thursday. If you want to change that to Fridays, you have to wait until Friday, make a purchase, and select the box "make this a recurring purchase"

    How to Think Profitably - a Trader’s Mindset

    Posted: 30 Apr 2019 04:34 AM PDT

    What's the difference between a winning trader and a losing trader? It's not that one is smarter than the other, or that one is luckier than the other. Sure, maybe having the right tools and the best information helps, but what seperates a winning trader from a losing trader is their mindset.

    A mindset is how one perceives the world. It's how a person absorbs the information around them, and chooses to either take action or not.

    The most important mindset for a trader, new or experienced, is to consider decisions/trades/positions/investments through the lens of risk versus reward. A winning trader defines their risk and sets a target for their reward. There are lots of ways to do that, worthy of plenty Reddit posts on their own, but the critical learning is that the trader makes a plan based on solid logic, not emotion.

    Once a plan is established, with a focus on risk:reward, the next piece of the mindset puzzle is sticking to the plan. This is accomplished through discipline. Only through discipline can you take your plan, and execute it over and over again so that you can measure it.

    If you can't measure it, you can't improve it. - Peter Drucker

    The best way to measure your trading results is by keeping a trading journal. My personal journaling tool was built for Voodoo Crypto, but there are plenty of free ones if you google it. When looking for a journal or template, make sure to consider journaling both each individual trade as well as each trading session. Break down the numbers for every trade, and reflect on your performance and emotions for each session.

    After the data has been analyzed and the journal reviewed, you make tweaks to your plan to attempt to maximize profitability. A winning trader understands that they don't win every time, that losing trades is a fact of trading. However, they can answer whether they win more than they lose and have the stats to back it up.

    Questions to people who holds and buys Tether - Why?

    Posted: 30 Apr 2019 04:20 AM PDT

    Why do you buy and hold Tether when there are 3-4 legitimate statblecoins in the market knowing full well that it is dodgy, not backed 100% and all the negative press surrounding it. Don't you guys fear for your money at all? I thought last time if I remember correctly when Tether was dumped and BTC/USDT value shot up, that will be the end of it. But alas, people still dealing in Tether with billions in volume each day including backing from Binance's CZ which raises the question of how legitimate he is.
