A recent announcement from the specialist cannabis publication, 'High Times', reveals that in the end it will accept bitcoins (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) as an alternative payment in its IPO (Initial Public Offer).

Recall that, at the beginning of last month, the publication had assured that it would accept payments in Ethereum (ETH), as well as in bitcoins (BTC) in its IPO; however, it seems that he took a step back with that decision, after delivering a clarifying document to the SEC (US Securities Commission).

Despite the official document, one of the representatives of 'High Times', Jon Cappetta, said that, in fact, they are accepting payments in both cryptocurrencies and that the declarations issued to the SEC were only to "make them happy".

In this regard, Capetta stressed that:

The reason why the SEC slapped us the last time was because we were accepting cryptocurrencies. However, technically we do not own them, but they transfer their conversion in dollars.

For its part, the third-party payment processing company 'Fund America' will be processing the transactions in both digital currencies and converting them into dollars, which will then be transferred to the company's accounts.

The evolution of the cryptocurrency market, as well as the development of blockchain technology, have been drawing the attention of people in the world of work. When prices began to rise exponentially for 2017, the demand for jobs in the industry increased in the same way.

Although since the beginning of this year the cryptoactive market suffered significant losses, blockchain technology has continued its path being adopted by companies in full enterprise, large companies and even consortiums of several firms, to be applied in their sectors and take advantage of all the advantages that can contribute.

The Asian labor market has become one of the most active and striking for the diverse professionals interested in this technology. Not only is there a demand for jobs for the industry, but also recruiters keep on finding personnel for the constant projects that arise frequently.

A report recently published by CNBC pointed out that jobs in companies that used blockchain technology and were linked to cryptocurrencies had increased by 50 percent, according to recruiting firm Robert Walters.

The most common skills sought by recruiters are those of knowledge in the Python programming language, but not only programmers have a place in this new ecosystem of companies, other professionals from different areas such as marketing, public relations and operations management, They have also been interested in jobs in the sector.

PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), a British consulting company, will implement a staff training program for "digital skills", in which it will train them in blockchain technology. Through an advertisement in Digiday, the company confirmed that 1,000 of its workers would be trained in various topics of revolutionary technologies, ranging from drones to the development of blockchain solutions, as part of its Digital Accelerators program.

According to the report, the selected employees would be relieved of some of their daily tasks so that they can focus more easily on these training courses. The participants of the program would dedicate around 10 hours a week to this program, working together with the clients.

These 1,000 employees would be selected from a sample of up to 3,500 interested applicants from the more than 45,000 employees of the company, and that program would start in January and would last for two years.
 
About this announcement, Sarah McEneany, digital talent leader and head of the Digital Accelerators program of PwC, said that the initiative arises due to the growing demand that its clients make, requesting more and more qualified advisers.

Also, McEneany said that this initiative would serve to encourage the efficiency of its employees by reducing the workload they spend working in various situations, and that this would be reflected in the satisfaction of their customers.

The Italian football team Rimini F.C. 1912 has announced that it has ceded 25% of its property that has been acquired by a company using cryptocurrencies, which makes it the first club in history to be bought in this way, as reported by Forbes. The purchase of the equipment is done by Heritage Sports Holdings (HSH) using the cryptocurrency of a platform that uses the blockchain technology called Quantocoin (QTC).

The club, which in the current season will play in Serie C (third division), is scheduled to hold a press conference next week where they will present new partners, including Pablo Victor Dana, managing partner of the Heritage Group, owner of HSH and co-founder/CEO of Quantocoin. Quantocoin proposes a new payment system using blockchain technology to register each payment instance.

Pablo Dana is not a rookie in terms of associating the cryptocurrency industry with the world of football since the HSH Company owns 80% of the Gibraltar United club that took the initiative to pay its players in cryptocurrency. Dana hopes that the purchase is the first of many in this sporting scene and believes that the cryptocurrency that she founded can help fight corruption within this sport.

Pablo believes that the ideals behind QTC are exactly the same as those that UEFA wants to put into practice, to avoid upcoming corruption situations as in which several football associations that sold their votes were involved so that Qatar will organize the next World Cup. football. Dana concludes with "this is transparency in football and we seek to reduce corruption through our Quantocoin platform".

The Quantocoin platform is a partner of Heritage Sports Holding, which in turn is a majority partner of the football teams Gibraltar United, U.D. Los Barrios and Mantova and counts among its ambassadors ex-footballers Roberto Carlos, Patrick Kluivert and Michel Salgado.

After learning that the cryptocurrency and blockchain regulations that were scheduled for this fall in Canada have been postponed, the Bitcoin Magazine portal contacted several leaders within the industry of that country to register their impressions regarding the postponement and the consequences that they believe, will bring the situation. The new regulations will be discussed at the end of next year and then implemented in 2020.

In a little more than a year the federal elections of Canada will be celebrated, reason why the government has the vision put in other interests very moved away of the regulations that it had thought to emit in autumn. After several people expressed concern to see a draft in June, which contained stricter regulations, consider postponement is something positive.

However, there are people who believe otherwise because the delay can damage the country's competitiveness within the cryptocurrency market and see, for example, Switzerland and Malta are taking the lead by having fewer regulations and a fiscal environment than favors the activity.

The Blockchain Association of Canada (BAC) appreciates the caution with which the government acts and think that the comments and recommendations made regarding the deletion were positive and that contributed to the government deciding to delay the new legislations.

We will start with a bit of etymology. Such as e-mail (electronic mail), for the case of electronic mail, DApps is an acronym that refers to the English term Descentralized applications, or, decentralized applications. So starting from that, we can define DApps as applications whose operation does not depend on a central system, but on all the members of the community.

However, this is to fall short of everything we can say about them. The Dapps are decentralized applications, open source, which works according to a protocol based on incentives for the members of it. So to be considered as such, they must meet these four requirements, which, as we shall see, are closely related to each other.

Open Source
In order to be considered as a Dapp, one of the main requirements is that it is programmed under a public source code, in order to guarantee that the data contained in it is available to all users of the same. In the same way, this will allow them to make modifications and improvements through a consensus mechanism, which we will discuss next.

As we have said, the world of cryptocurrencies and any change that you want to make in the network structure of one of them, must be previously approved by all the members of it.

Take for example, the blockchain. We know that this exercises the useful bookkeeping function in which all transactions of bitcoins that have been previously verified are recorded. To do this, the miners must solve a complex mathematical problem, with which a new register block can be added to the chain.

The entire Bitcoin community is aware of this, and once the process is completed, whoever has resolved it first will receive a reward. For those who wish to learn a little more, all this has been explained in great detail in our article Cryptocurrencies for Beginners: Mining, Mining and Hashes, what are they?

According to documents of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), Bank Of America has requested another patent related to blockchain technology that allows it to develop an encrypted storage system that links data elements within of the blocks of a chain of blocks. The US bank owns about 50 patents related to this technology, surpassing even the multinational computer, IBM.

The bank, which is the second largest banking institution in the United States, introduced the document on April 18, 2018 entitled "BLOCK CHAIN ENCRYPTION TAGS" (block chain encryption labels) where they describe a registration and storage system of transactions related to cryptocurrencies. The patent describes a device with a processor that receives data, and then acquires an encryption key before encrypting the elements within the first block in a chain.

In a generalized way, the proposal establishes a data security system for blockchain networks, implementing encryption and linking data units to the blocks of a certain chain of blocks. In this way Bank of America, continues to take measures to strengthen its position as one of the leading companies that promotes the use and adoption of blockchain technology.

Despite the great interest shown by the bank for blockchain technology, the same can not be said about cryptocurrency and still has doubts about them despite having acquired in December of last year, a patent for the development of a system digital currency exchange. Even in May, as CoinCrispy reported, they expressed that the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies could require substantial costs to adapt products and services.

The BitMEX platform conducted an investigation into the theory of the "dominant miner" attributed to Sergio Demian Lerner and that CoinCrispy had already covered, where they show more evidence that corroborates the possibility that Satoshi Nakamoto has mined a million of Bitcoins (BTC). Lerner, who conducted his analysis in 2013, concluded that the hashrate information in that year is consistent with a dominant miner.

In 2013, Lerner hypothesized that Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009 would have mined a million tokens and I endorse it by analyzing the hashrate of the Bitcoin blockchain during that year that constantly remained around 7 MH / Sec. Sergio assumes that in that period of time, Satoshi Nakamoto was the only miner but the community has taken this information with skepticism.

The community says that this evidence is not sustainable since the assumptions of the hardware used by Nakamoto were not correct; the estimate of 7 MH / Seg was from a small sample where the time stamps of the blocks are not reliable. The hypothesis also does not take into account the possibility that Satoshi was not mining alone.

Then, Lerner showed the most sustainable evidence of the "dominant miner" that is the tracking of the ExtraNonce, which was enough for the community to take the hypothesis of Nakamoto's mining work seriously. Although BitMEX also considered that Sergio's initial evidence was weak, the new data was the starting point for his own research.

Bitcoin could reverse the trend depending on its next support
BitMEX decided to replicate Lerner's analysis but with the difference that they would count the extracted blocks and assign the blocks of what they consider would be the Satoshi Nakamoto miner. Despite using a variety of methods to assign the blocks, this was not necessarily accurate, so they say that the research is far from perfect but considers that this is the first attempt to assign these blocks.
