In connection with blog and media publications on the liquidation of the Waves legal entity registered in the UK, Waves team officially states the following. First of all,  Waves Platform  remains fully active. Any information on the project’s bankruptcy is untrue. We’re fully following the interests and trust of our investors. Any of our actions are done in total compliance with business ethics and all initial agreements. Current streamlining is aimed at increasing the overall performance of the project. The company that was registered in the UK was active at early stages of the project, used primarily for marketing and promotional purposes. Due to more favorable legal regulations and Waves’ international expansion, the company’s headquarters has been moved to Switzerland ( Waves Platform AG ) since December 2017. Therefore, the team decided not to renew the company’s registration in the United Kingdom. The change of jurisdiction will allow the project to enhance relatio

Digital Currency  prices have been correlated with  Bitcoin , the first and the most famous cryptocurrency. But that would end soon as the market accepts the difference between these assets. As per  Brad Garlinghouse  CEO of Ripple. On Wednesday, Brad Garlinghouse told CNBC’s “Power Lunch.”: “There’s a very high correlation between the price of XRP and the price of bitcoin, but ultimately these are independent open-sourced technologies. It’s early, over time you’ll see a more rational market and behaviors that reflect that.” Ripple  is the name of the San-Francisco based company building a network for faster global financial payment. Meanwhile,  XRP  is a digital token that financial institutions on the network can use to transact quickly. The company itself had a record quarter, signing 20 production contracts with the new firm. Brad Garlinghouse stated. Ripple declared a deal with the biggest bank in Kuwait, adding to the companies like  MoneyGram  that are now testing

A new technology called hashgraph has been attracting interest, due to its apparent advantages over conventional blockchain technology. But what is hashgraph? Is it better or worse than blockchain, or merely different? Bitcoin represented a game-changing development for online financial transfers, removing the need for any single, centralised authority to keep accounts. The blockchain that underpins bitcoin makes peer-to-peer cash possible. It also has its limitations. Bitcoin is capable of supporting  just a handful of transactions per second . The size of the data required to store each transaction varies, depending on the number of inputs and outputs, but bitcoin’s throughput is around 200-300 transactions per minute. This was fine in its early days, but now the network is seeing greater use, transactions can back up and be delayed by hours or days. It’s possible to ensure a transaction is confirmed straight away, but only at a cost. At the height of network activity bac

Earlier this week the Chinese government announced the introduction of a blockchain rating system and now the 28 projects that will be rated are known. The  28 projects  that will be assessed by a scientific institution overseen by China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MITT) are: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Cardano, Stellar, NEO, IOTA, Monero, Dash, NEM, Ethereum Classic, QTUM, NANO, Lisk, Zcash, Verge, Stratis, Siacoin, Steem, BitShares, Bytecoin, Waves, Decred, Hshare, Komodo and ARK.

Bitcoin prices fell to three-week lows of around  $8,540  on May 11, as markets reacted to a  flash investigation  of South Korean exchange Upbit and a fresh  Mt.Gox  funds liquidation. Data from  Cointelegraph’s price tracker  and  Coin360  shows BTC/USD dipping sharply over the past 24 hours, with major  altcoin  assets posting considerably higher losses of up to 18 percent. Traders appeared to deliver a knee-jerk reaction to  news  that Upbit, Korea’s largest cryptocurrency exchange and a subsidiary of communications giant Kakao, had received a visit from the country’s Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC). According to local media, authorities suspect Upbit had “deceived customers” by providing false information about its balance sheets. At the same time, executives in charge of refunding users of former Japanese exchange  Mt.Gox have evidently  sold  a new chunk of about 8,000 BTC (about $70 mln at press time) in four batches of 2,000 BTC. Such actions in the pa

There has been a time when a saying was popular on Wall Street: “when Warren Buffet speaks, you listen.” Now Wall Street is better not to listen, if they do not want to become history faster than Kodak or Blockbuster. The media are going mad reporting the latest senseless rants from  Warren Buffet ,  Munger  and  Bill Gates , just to name the last few. The usual barrage of senseless observations, wrong assumptions, popular, but wrong and ignorant distinctions between "the technology behind Bitcoin" - which is good and everyone on the Street loves it - and the rest which is obviously very bad or just plain insults to the whole crypto community - as if instead Wall Street is populated only by honourable gentlemen and philanthropists. Shall the crypto community start trading insults with them? Shall we respond? No we shall not. For they are slowly becoming the past at an accelerating pace and they do not understand it. Besides, they know nothing about Bitcoin. It i

In the last year, interest in digital assets went mainstream and new promising use cases emerged. Appropriately, it spurred a global conversation on the type of regulations needed to ensure markets and consumers remain safe. This rose to the highest levels, including the G20 and Financial Stability Board. This week, I continued Ripple’s dialogue with regulators and politicians and  appeared before the UK Parliament . Until now, most conversations have hinged on the notion that “blockchain is good” and “digital assets are bad.” Yet, as policy makers took a close and thoughtful look at the technology, this view appears to be fading. The conversation today seems focused on real-world applications for both blockchain and digital assets. There’s recognition that digital assets are tools. If they are good or bad depends entirely on how they are used. Consider a hammer. You can use it to build a house, but you can also use it as a weapon, a use case for which we have laws and punish

Proof of Stake Velocity: Building the Social Currency of the Digital Age Abstract Proof of Stake Velocity (PoSV) is proposed as an alternative to Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS) to secure the peer-to-peer network and confirm transactions of Reddcoin, a cryptocurrency created specifically to facilitate social interactions in the digital age. PoSV is designed to encourage both ownership (Stake) and activity (Velocity) which directly correspond to the two main functions of Reddcoin as a real currency: store of value and medium of exchange. Reddcoin can also function as the unit of account in heterogeneous social context. The technological aspects of PoSV are presented after a detailed review of existing designs. The economic aspects of Reddcoin are then analysed. Finally the unique position of Reddcoin as a digital social currency in the competitive landscape of cryptocurrencies is discussed. 2 Technology
