« on: October 09, 2018, 06:58:54 PM »

Everything You Need To Know About Lisk

What is Lisk?

Aiming to make the Blockchain technology more accessible, Lisk is an open source decentralized app and sidechain development platform.

On Lisk, developers get a fair share of attention as well as revenues unlike the popular centralized platforms Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

It is easier for developers to use since the apps can be developed in Javascript, the most popular language around.

LSK, or Lisk coin, is the currency associated with Lisk, used primarily in the DApps on the Lisk main chain itself. Unlike Bitcoin and others, it is not a digital currency that merchants will accept as payment, but rather a currency for developers using or wishing to use the platform.

Lisk Development

Lisk has its origins in Crypti, an open source blockchain app platform which couldn’t really achieve its founders’ goals without the right amount of firepower. Max Kordek and Oliver Beddows eventually implemented a hard fork in Crypti in 2016, giving rise to Lisk as we know it today. The Lisk Team consists of around 40 employees in total, dedicated to the goal of bringing blockchain development to the public. More here.

Cryptocurrency Price Speculations / Golem (GNT) Price Today

« on: October 09, 2018, 06:27:12 PM »

Everything You Need To Know About Golem

What is Golem?

The blockchain is everywhere. From letting users share monetary value, and even hard drive storage space (like in Siacoin), there’s now also a way to share computing power. In fact, Golem is amongst the earliest ideas on the blockchain concept. Not all of us use our computer’s processors to their fullest, and Golem hopes to monetize this performance potential by letting you rent out your processing power to the world, and earn in the process.

Golem: The Basics

Golem is a bank of the computing power of the connected machines - a decentralized network of performance at its core. To put it simply, Golem helps your computer power turn into currency. You can loan out your computer resources you are not currently using, and Golem converts the idle power into actual work.

GNT, or Golem Network Token, is the unit of measuring what one pays as the rental. The prices are determined by who loans the power out. But just like all other perfectly competitive markets, it works only when it’s fair to all.

Golem Development

The Golem team is led by Julian Zawistowski. The first alpha version released in August 2016. Later releases followed with improvements to the network’s security and rendering.

The Golem team wants to build a decentralized global platform for microservices, which they like to call “new Internet of tomorrow.” More here.

Golem (GNT) Price for Today

Currently, Golem (GNT) price is up 2.81% and it's trading at $0.162422 today. The market capitalization of Golem now stands $155,802,318 million with 959,242,000 GNT in circulation.

Ethereum Classic / Ethereum Classic (ETC) – Is the name a source of confusion?

« on: October 07, 2018, 06:47:03 AM »

Yesterday, someone sent out a tweet to the effect that Ethereum Classic (ETC) should rebrand to avoid getting confused for Ethereum. To this Charles Hoskinson replied that,

“Ethereum is free to change its name at any time.”
But does the name really matter? Is it a source of confusion? Well, it might have caused confusion in the early days, but at this point, there really is no confusion between ETC and ETH. Even a simple google search for Ethereum Classic (ETC) vs Ethereum (ETH) brings up tons of content, explaining the differences between the two. As such even for a crypto newbie, there really is no way that someone can confuse them. With all the information available online today, and for free, one would have to willfully ignorant, not to tell the difference between the two. Read more here.

Bitcoin News & Updates / From Pizza To Lambos: Charting Bitcoin’s First Decade

« on: October 06, 2018, 08:21:59 PM »

Ten years ago this month, Satoshi Nakamoto published a paper online introducing the concept of a “purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash” called Bitcoin. But it wasn’t until May 2010, when software developer Laszlo Hanyecz swapped 10,000 Bitcoins for two pizzas, that the virtual currency became a means for buying real-world stuff.

Suffice it to say, you can get a lot more than two pizzas with 10,000 Bitcoins these days.

Here’s a look at how the purchasing power of that original transaction has changed over the past eight years, running the gamut from iPads to Lamborghinis (or Lambos, in industry parlance) as early adopters, true believers, Wall Street financiers and retail investors all jumped on the Bitcoin rollercoaster.
