Legendary John McAfee joins Tron-based BeatzCoin as an adviser

by

Never mind whether positively or negatively, the cryptocurrency big whale as well as the US presidential expectant, John McAfee will always be in the news.

It has happened again. But this time around, like most in the recent past, the most interesting as well as the controversial figure has hit the crypto world with news that he’s taking a position as an advisor for BeatzCoin and the VibraVid platform.

Welcome Aboard Master of Many Trades

For crypto enthusiasts, John McAfee is not a new name, and for the rest, the fact that he was once a presidential aspirant (maybe will be again) makes him a familiar figure for the world too. And of course, he being the founder of McAfee antivirus is yet another reason for his popularity.

The great news today is that McAfee has joined BeatzCoin and VibraVid platform’s advisory team. According to BeatzCoin, McAfee will be assisting the team as they push to achieve their objectives as well as in helping them gain a stronger influence in the music alongside the blockchain industry.

The godfather of antivirus software has for a while been in the limelight of the crypto movement throwing his foot in advertising a plethora of blockchain ventures as well as initial coin offerings (ICOs). The crypto crusader has always continued to preach the gospel and support blockchain technology as well as the crypto assets.

The “Love” for BeatzCoin (BTZC)

If you thought the McAfee is making headlines for the first time with VibraVid platform, you’re wrong.

Early during the month when the platform gave an update about the release of their 3rd stage in development, McAfee was fast to give his thumbs up. In his tweet at that time, he declared his love for VibraVid, a decentralized platform powered by Tron, which is looking to change the way individuals interact with digital content.

For many, VibraVid has been foreseen as the potential YouTube killer, and now that they have added the “mighty” John McAfee as one of the advisors, the future looks even brighter.

Besides, McAfee has made it clear more multiple times that his next (2020) US presidential campaign will entirely be about cryptos. Imagine a president who happens to be an advisor of BeatzCoin team? Whether that remains only in dreams or bound to happen, one thing is for sure, VibraVid platform may be on its way up by making every right decision in their bid to “kill” YouTube after all.

Tron (TRX) makes it to leading UAE crypto exchange Adax

by

What is Adax?

ADAX stands for Arab Digital Asset Exchange. It’s a cryptocurrency trading platform based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and powered by Arabitzor Holdings, and it’s one of the leading exchanges in the Middle East.

The company aims to provide market technology tools, such as their online trading platform, for a rather extended list of digital assets from all around the planet. The company seems to believe that demand for cryptocurrency can only go up in the future and it wants to be one of the leading players when it happens.

Adax boasts the most advanced virtual trading room in the Arab world which is designed to enhance the user’s trading experience and, according to the company, it’s based on blockchain technology so it could be decentralized, but don’t quote us on that.

It’s no surprise at all that an advanced crypto exchange should be based in Dubai. After all, over recent years the city has become one of the world’s foremost financial hubs. That being said, developments in crypto that originate in the Middle East rarely get noticed compared to things that happen in, say, Asia or Europe.

Nevertheless, Adax is there, and it’s a player. With all the money that is always floating around that geopolitical zone, it’s merely a matter of time before the trading volume becomes enormous. And now there’s an additional reason for that.

Tron’s Tronix (TRX) joins the Adax platform

A couple of days ago, Adax announced the inclusion of Tron’s Tronix (TRX) cryptocurrency in its platform. The token will be available in three trading pairs: TRX/USDT, TRX/BTC, and TRX/ETH. The company’s official Twitter announcement was particularly enthusiastic, calling TRX one of the “leading digital assets listed.”

Tron’s leadership (headed by Justin Sun, the project’s founder and CEO) has been very consistent in getting TRX listed in many of the world’s most important cryptocurrency exchanges, which is very good for the project.

The more platforms that offer TRX trading pairs to customers, the easier it is to get ahold of some of Tron’s coins and join the endless fun that the Tron network offers, especially now that it’s become the world’s busiest decentralized applications network. And that will be nothing when, finally, the BitTorrent network is merged with Tron’s network and blockchain.

There’s another advantage for TRX (or any other digital asset) in being listed in as many exchanges as possible, and that is trade volume. In crypto, as well as in Forex, the stock market or the commodities market, higher trading volumes support the asset’s prize by creating additional demand thus strengthening its fundamentals.

And strong fundamentals are the only way in which cryptocurrencies will stop being slaves to sheer speculative forces. Just as important, strong fundamentals will be one of the exit doors from the current crypto winter, which has lasted for more than 15 months so far.

And Tron has an additional advantage: it has a very bullish community which is very interested in supporting the token. Many Tron-based projects are issuing their own tokens which are based in Tron’s token technologies and are tradeable for TRX, and they all have clear use cases within the Tron network from gambling and having some fun to paying for advertising.

Tron keeps growing. The token’s price hasn’t been precisely peachy over the last few days, but keep an eye out for it anyway. Tron is a useful project with clear aims and, sooner or later, the token’s price will reflect that.

TronCrush is Going to Revolutionize Crypto Gambling

by

With the introduction of Bitcoin in 2009, its underlying blockchain technology has found its way into almost every industry. Interestingly, one of the modern industries that blockchain has crept into is the gambling industry.

According dapp.com 2018 dapp market report, betting dapps took over the dominating role in the market since Q4 last year. There was a total transaction volume of almost $3 billion in Q4, nearly 44% of the total amount in 2018.

However, problems like boring gameplay, short lifetime, always decreasing dividends also show up and are getting severe. Aiming to resolve these issues and offer players brand new gaming experience, TronCrush is introduced.

TronCrush is a unique betting game built on the TRON blockchain. Inspired by Candy Crush, it has both metrics of entertainment and profitability where players can have fun, win, and continuously receive dividends.

There are a total of 3 dices in the game. Players need to play them one by one. When a dice is played, the payout will be instantly sent based on the result and the odds. And when all three dices are played, a round is completed. Players will then be able to receive an extra bonus according to their lucky number combo.

TronCrush

Crush Bonus – Provides Entertaining Gameplay

Similar to Candy Crush, when a player manages to get 2 same lucky numbers in a round, corresponding dice will be crushed. The player will get 10x token rewards of the round. And when there are 3 same lucky numbers, all dices will be crushed. The player will then be rewarded with 100x tokens and TRX in the Crush Bonus pot.

Tron Crush

Mega Jackpot – Keeps the Volume up

The main reason why most dapps had a short lifetime is that players stop playing as soon as the FOMO fever is over. To avoid this from happening, TronCrush creatively set up a Mega Jackpot to keep the volume up. With this design, TronCrush is able to offer always increasing dividends. Here is how it works:

  • Part of game revenues will be put into the Mega Jackpot.
  • There is a 2 min countdown timer in each round.
  • For every bet over 200 TRX, 10s will be added to the timer, but will never exceed 2 min.
  • When the timer reaches zero, the last person to place a bet over 200 TRX wins the Mega Jackpot.

It is believed that with this unique design, TronCrush will be having a healthy and sustainable growth.

Provable Fairness – Offers Worry Free Gaming Experience

The fairness of TronCrush is guaranteed by cryptography and smart contracts. Players don’t need to be an expert of these disciplines to find out, as a handy verification tool is provided in game to ensure players are never cheated.

  • Players can enter their customized seed to the TRON blockchain. It could be a combination of letters and numbers of any length. It’s optional.
  • Then the smart contract will generate a random SHA-256 HASH, the timestamp of the current bet, and the previous block-hash will be mixed to create a random hash.
  • The seed generated from the smart contract and the seed provided by the player will then be mixed to generate a random LUCKY number.

VIP System – An Effective Incentive Approach

VIP systems have been playing an essential role in traditional games to reward those who have contributed a lot to the game while they are rarely seen in dapps, which is a wrong approach. Therefore, the TronCrush team decided to design a new VIP system to reward players based on their contribution made.

TronCrush will go live next week and is now holding a Pre-registration event, join now to enjoy 1.1x mining at launch.

Binance Launchpad 101: Here’s how you become the early bird of new projects

by

You’ve undoubtedly heard about Binance before. It was founded in 2017 by Changpeng Zhao and Yi He. It was based initially in China, but then it moved to Japan as the Chinese government banned cryptocurrency trading in 2017.

By now it also has offices in Taiwan and Malta, which is one of the most cryptocurrency-friendly countries in the word. It’s even issued its very own digital token, called BNB. The thing about Binance is that it’s the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange by trade volume, and it’s probably the exchange with the broadest selection of trading pairs.

Earlier this year, in January, to be precise, the company announced that it would take advantage of its Binance Launchpad platform to raise funds for new tokens at the tune of one per month, more or less.

The results didn’t take long to show. Perhaps the most expected launch so far was the BitTorrent Token one (BTT). It’s a coin based on Tron’s token technology that will power the BitTorrent P2P decentralized network as it merges into Tron’s blockchain network.

It took fewer than 15 minutes to raise USD 7.12 million, which made the whole community pay a bit of attention. The move also winked at the possibility of ICOs making a spectacular comeback, more or less as it was in 2017.

BTT hasn’t been the only success story so far. Binance’s Launchpad’s second fundraiser was in support of Fetch.AI. It was even more rapid: USD 6 million in a very impressive ten seconds.

The tokens in question saw their prices soar after the Binance listing went live. And that, again, created massive interest in a big chunk of the crypto community.

Binance is calling these kinds of events “Initial Exchange Offering,” and that’s how it’s marking the commencement of massive exchanges using its platform to come online. Following Binance’s spectacular success in this regard, five other exchanges are taking a page from Binance’s book to come up with Initial Exchange Offering platforms of their own. They are Okex, KuCoin, and Bittrex, among others.

Since IEOs are becoming so popular, especially when launched at Binance over Binance Launchpad, we will use this article to offer you a thoroughly detailed guide so you can start using the platform and join in all the fun sometime in the near future by entering one of the planned events for fundraising.

Binance Launchpad: How to use it

We start with the basics. Login into your Binance account. Don’t you have one? Well, just get one. The initial process doesn’t even take three minutes; it’s effortless and direct (afterward you will need to prove your identity, but more on that later).

So now we’re in. Find the menu’s top left of the menu and click “Binance Launchpad”. The option will show as part of a drop-down.

The Home Screen

You’ll arrive at the platform’s home screen. There, dead center, you’ll see the featured projects at the launch pad. Each project’s status is carefully described to provide a full understanding of each project’s situation.

The projects on the left are about to start selling tokens, and you can find an abstract detailing the launch’s primary information. Among other pieces of data, you’ll find the number of tokens scheduled to be sold during the session, as well as the starting time.

Each project has a dedicated page within the platform, and you can see it by just choosing the project that interests you and click on it. There you’ll find the project’s information in full detail.

If you’re following us while using your Binance account so far, you’ll see that the general information about the project’s IEO event is at the top and it includes the following information: price, start time, session supply, starting date and hour. And there’s the “Buy Now” button. As we write this, that button didn’t work because the sale had not started yet, but it will be active when the time comes.

Requirements

  • Then, below, there’s the requirements tab. If you want to join in the token sale, you have to complete all the requirements mentioned in the tab. Each project has a different set of conditions, but a fairly common requirement is to comply with the platform’s general verification process. It takes four steps:
  • Type in your personal information.
  • Once your personal information is complete, you’ll need to provide a picture of your ID. This is not as cumbersome as it sounds at first. It’s actually a quick process. Your laptop has a camera that can take pictures, but it’s a better idea to make the required picture using your smartphone’s camera. That’s because it’s essential for the text in your ID to be very clear and readable. That makes things move forward more quickly, and it will save you the hassle of repeating this second step because of a bad quality picture.
  • The next step is about facial information. It’s not precisely about facial recognition, but about proving that your face matches your ID, that you’re the guy active right now on your account. Binance is meticulous, to say the least. You have to submit a picture of your face. The photo must include the date as well, and also the word “Binance” next to your face. This can indeed be done with your laptop’s camera, just make sure that the date and the legend “Binance” is obvious and readable. This is a standard step in most websites in which real money moves in and out of the platform.
  • You’re done. Almost. The next step is just to wait a bit of time for the Binance team to contact you and tell you that you are indeed approved, or, to let you know that something went wrong and you have to repeat one of the three steps.

An important bit of information: not every user from every country can participate in the event. You need to know if users from your country are allowed and you’ll find that out at the requirements tab as well.

Project Information

You should always familiarize yourself with the full information of any project that catches your eye. Any responsible investment needs in-depth research before you put any of your hard-earned money into it.

All the information you need is either in the requirements tab or in the project’s dedicated page, and you should make sure you’ve read it all, analyzed it all, and understood it all. Pros, cons, potential advantages and challenges, use cases for the new tokens, etc. We strongly suggest that you don’t go in lightly. There’s no excuse. Binance makes sure you can find out everything you need to know to make a good decision.

If you, however, consider that you still don’t have all the information you need, there’s good news. Binance has built a research center in which they carry out very detailed reviews for each of the projects listed. Is reading a full report too much information to decide? We don’t think so. On the contrary, knowledge is power, and we’re talking about your money here, so any amount of research is justified.

And that’s it, pretty much. There’s nothing more to it. Once you’ve assimilated the information you need to decide, you are all set to invest in the Binance Launchpad for the first time.

If you comply with the requirements, then just make sure you know when the sale will begin and be prepared to be online and join in as it happens.

One thing you need to take into account is that you can’t use fiat currencies to transact at Binance. The exchange is crypto to crypto which means that you need to own digital assets beforehand (bought elsewhere, with your local legal tender), then transfer them to your Binance account, and in the case of IEOs, you also need to know what coins will be accepted.

Every project will sell its new tokens only in exchange for some specific coins, and if you’re going to participate in time, you need to know what tokens are those, and, more importantly, you need to own some of them in advance.

That’s how all the launches have happened during the year with one exception. The BTT (BitTorrent token) token thing used only BNB and TRX (Tron’s Tronix currency). Which is why that launch was essentially two sessions occurring at the same time.

As we wrote in the previous paragraphs, the “Buy Now” button won’t be active until the sale begins. When it becomes alive, it will allow you to buy the number of tokens of your choice using the session’s selected token.

So let’s say the button is alive and you click on it. What happens next?

You’ll see a small box. In this box, you define the number of new tokens you want to buy. On the top of the box, you’ll see your BNB (or the token relevant to the sale). Under, you’ll find the maximum number of coins you can buy based on your cap. At the bottom of the box, you’ll need to provide a verification code. Last, you submit your request for the Binance Launchpad token sale.

The request will get you assigned to the tokens’ sale queue. This is not the time to refresh or leave the page. Be patient and wait for things to happen. Once the token sale is finished, you’ll be told. The Binance team will let you know if your luck was kind enough to get in the sale or not. If you did, the new tokens would be shown in your balance. If you didn’t then your balance remains precisely as it was before you sent the request.

Final thoughts

We hope you can see that joining in a Binance Launchpad fundraiser is very easy and takes minimal effort. The Binance team has gone out of its way to ensure that everything is simple, accessible, easy to go through and, yet, very thorough and meticulous.

One thing to keep in mind, though, is that this kind of events create immense amounts of interest in the community. Thousands (maybe hundreds of thousands) of users try to join in. Remember the Fetch.AI sale: it was over in ten seconds, no more. So while participating is exceedingly comfortable, getting a good place in the queue is not. The amount of competition is just insane, and that’s the one thing that complicates everything else.

But aside from that competition, the rest of the process is utterly seamless, easy to do, and easy to understand. If you’re not going to join, it just can’t be because of the level of technical difficulty.

Binance has found a way to be innovative, useful. It’s a pivotal exchange in the cryptoverse because of the sheer volume it has, but the new tool (the launchpad) is making it even more critical because it provides an easy way for projects to launch their coins which, on top of everything, get listed at Binance which is already something of an achievement.

Of course, Binance isn’t inventing ICO’s. Ethereum has been doing that for ages, but Binance’s approach has several advantages over Ethereum’s. Ethereum can only launch cryptocurrencies based on Ethereum’s token technology (ERC20), and with the scalability problems it’s had for months, there’s just no way in which it could support events such as those happening in Binance.

Binance’s IEO’s, on the other hand, can launch new cryptocurrencies of any kind at all, it’s not limited to Ethereum’s only. And it can manage insane amounts of traffic successfully and dependable. So Binance’s solution is a lot more versatile, a lot more powerful, reliable and, because of the high gas prices at Ethereum’s network, a lot cheaper as well.

So now you know everything you need to know if you want to join the current IEO’s fever. Lots of interest projects are about to get released and make their sale. You’ll surely find an exciting project that takes your fancy and just calls for you to participate. Just get well informed, be thorough in your preliminary research, and try to make sure you join the sale in time to actually get some of the new tokens. We wish you the best of luck!

The Best Bitcoin Casinos for 2019

by

The whole point in cryptocurrencies (especially Bitcoin) is, quite simply, to do away with physical money once and for all. Is that overly ambitious? Maybe, but that was the stated objective announced by the mythical (and still unknown) Satoshi Nakamoto as he brought the world’s first blockchain network and digital asset online.

So if Bitcoin is going to substitute money, one of the things you must be able to do with it is to gamble. And it’s happening. Indeed, the blockchain industry would probably not be where it is today without online gambling sites powered by Bitcoin. Even in new blockchain networks such as EOS or Tron, the decentralized applications activity is dominated by gaming sites.

If you should think that this is too much of a specialized use case, well, maybe it is. But it’s one of the uses fiat currencies have all over the world and, over the last few years, many Bitcoin casinos have been incredibly successful.

There’s no shortage of Bitcoin-based gaming and gambling platforms. In fact, the number of available websites for this is enormous. In this article, we’ll offer you a bit of context for gambling with Bitcoin, and we’ll tell you about four Bitcoin casinos that w consider to be the best ones so you can choose the one that suits you better.

Also, in the last section, you’ll find a list of Bitcoin dice games which you should try out if you’re interested in gambling at a game in which the odds are closest to being mathematically fair.

Before we start, just a friendly reminder: before you proceed you need to make sure that gambling online is legal in your home country.

What is Bitcoin Casino?

Well, BitCoin casinos are basically just a website, just like any other traditional gambling platform. The main difference with BitCoin casinos is that they allow you to fund your gambling with cryptocurrencies (yes Bitcoin, but some others too in many cases).

As a matter of fact, some of these sites don’t take fiat currencies at all. This is not a dogmatic thing. There are real advantages in avoiding transactions in physical money: cashouts are faster, deposits are faster too, and the whole experience is more seamless in terms of usability.

Additionally, the irreversible nature of payments in cryptocurrencies obviates the “Know Your Customer” (KYC) process which is now the rule in traditional gambling sites and that can be very cumbersome, even a little intrusive.

But you could still need to provide some kind of identity verification, especially if you’re lucky enough to earn some big wins. That being said, 99 out of every 100 users have no problems at all in this regard.

Are Bitcoin Casinos Legal in the US?

Well, it’s not forbidden. The current regulations in the US say nothing specific about cryptocurrency gambling, and most certainly, it’s never been declared illegal at all. Online gaming, however, is restricted and regulated in most states in the union.

Laws haven’t caught up with the times to include the blockchain aspects of gambling explicitly in any way. In the whole of the country, only three states allow for any kind of gambling activity at all. Those states are Delaware, Nevada (home of Reno and Las Vegas) and New Jersy (home of Atlantic City), so no surprises there.

Some of the world’s casinos just play it safe and block most of all of the US IP addresses, but that has everything to do with gambling and nothing to do with digital assets per se. In short: there’s no reason to believe that gaming using cryptocurrencies is illegal in the US so far.

The BitCoin Casinos: are they provably fair?

Let’s start by clarifying what “provably fair game” means. It’s a game in which a third party verifies that the game was fair and that the casino isn’t messing around with users by manipulating the process or the results.

All the casinos in our list have a provably fair game section. If this is a subject that makes you a bit paranoid and you feel that BitCoin casinos are cheating you out of your winnings, then you should choose one of the casinos in which fairness verification is most straightforward.

Why choose a Bitcoin Casino?

There are three excellent reasons to gamble using Bitcoin Casinos. Anonymity, probability, and speed. Traditional online casinos have “Know Your Customer” programs (KYC) in which they require their customers to disclose some critical vital stats and personal information. This is cumbersome, and it verges on the intrusive at times.

You end up giving them all of your payment details and every bit of personal information that can pinpoint you anywhere in the world. Not so with Bitcoin Casinos. These platforms don’t ask you to disclose any personal information at all (few exceptions could apply if you score some big wins)

Then there’s the provably fair game factor. Most Bitcoin casinos offer provably fair games. This is a trend within crypto gambling that seeks to ensure fairness and transparency. You’ll hardly ever find that in conventional betting websites.

And, the other advantage is the speed. Some crypto-based casinos also accept fiat currencies, but if you deal in digital assets only, cashouts are very fast, seamless, painless. You get your money out in minutes instead of days, and you don’t have to keep checking your bank account to be sure you got paid.

So what is the house edge for this kind of casino?

For the casinos in this list, the house edge can be anywhere from 0.5% to 2%. It’s not so much about the casino but about the particular game you’re playing. It’s a remarkably low margin if you take into account that, say, slot machines in Las Vegas take 10%, and traditional poker can take up to 5% depending on the precise kind of card game you want to play.

So the house edge for Bitcoin Casinos is actually quite low when you compare it with conventional casinos. This has everything to do with the fact that they are based on cryptocurrencies. That way the costs to transact payments are much cheaper than in traditional fiat currencies. So that lower overhead in payment handling allows the house to keep its edge much lower.

Dice Games and Cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrency dice games are just a subset of the games offered in online BitCoin casinos. Dice games are trendy because being based on dice (obviously), the odds involved are quite easy to understand. An ordinary dice game can be as simple as this: you pick a number, roll the dice, and if your number comes out, you win. You lose if the result is any other number.

Even in traditional casinos, dice games is where the house takes the smallest edge. In some individual cases, the odds are mathematically fair (which means that there’s no house edge at all). The variety of dice-based games is immense so you can find the one that suits your taste for risk. And some of them allow for a high number of micro bets if you like that kind of thing and try out some kind of a strategy.

Most importantly: most of the games in BitCoin casinos are provably fair (the chances are that all games in crypto casinos are indeed fair), which means that the operation’s validity is valid and you can be100% that the house is not cheating on you.

This article’s final section provides you with a list of interesting crypto-based dice games.

And now, for the list:

The Four Best BitCoin Casinos

Fourth: mBit

In an environment in which almost everything is new, mBit has antiquity going for it (in so far as that is possible for a technology that’s barely a decade old). It’s one of the oldest Bitcoin casinos in the world.

The company is based out of Curacao, in the Caribbean sea, so it follows the gambling restrictions, requirements, and regulations of the island, which, by the way, are quite generous as is apparent from the vast number of casinos based there. It also means that it’s a legal entity. The company’s main selling point is its increasing range of games, live dealer support, and a handsome deposit bonus.

The downside (if you can call it that) is that it accepts Bitcoin only and it has no plans whatsoever to broaden its business by including any other digital asset. That could change in the future, of course, but for the time being it’s Bitcoin or nothing.

Third: FortuneJack

This is another Bitcoin gambling platform that has earned respect and a good reputation in the community. It’s unsurprisingly based in Curacao as well. FortuneJack tries to attract as big an audience as possible by supporting hundreds of different games, so there’s something for everyone. As an additional advantage, it also accepts Litecoin and Dogecoin, which gives it a bit of a competitive edge compared to its competitors.

Second: BitStarz

This is the big one. In terms of popularity, this is the biggest BitCoin casino in the world by far. If you haven’t guessed where it’s based, well, let us tell you: it hails from Curacao (are we detecting something of a trend here?).

It features more than a thousand games in its platform, and it keeps adding new ones regularly. It stands out from the rest for several reasons. It supports several altcoins as well as several more traditional payment methods.

While this is a bit eclectic for a so-called BitCoin casino, but it adds to the platform’s appeal and good reputation, as it has access to the traditional gambling markets as well as the crypto-gamblers.

Another exciting feature in BitStarz is their customer support. Its service doesn’t rely on web-based chats and contact forms (which is the painful rule in so many websites of all kinds).

The company takes advantage of social media and even Reddit to give customers the best possible service. Don’t get us wrong. There is good customer support in all of the casinos in the list. But BitStarz takes a more creative and proactive approach when serving clients. It walks the extra mile to make sure your gaming experience is painless and smooth.

First: BitcoinCasino.us

It’s been around for years, and it’s built a solid reputation in the industry. It supports DOGE, LTC, BCH, ETH and, obviously, BTC. It features many bonuses and cashback options, and it offers frequent promos in which users can get some free spins. While the selection of games is not as big as in the other casinos in this list, it’s more on the classic side of gambling. Slot games, Poker, Roulette, Table Games, Jackpot games and High Roller are on the menu.

And now, as promised, let’s check out the list for the best Bitcoin dice games in 2019.

Best Crypto Dice Games for 2019

DuckDice

It’s fun and interactive, so if that’s your cup of tea, this is it. DuckDice.io is THE cryptocurrency dice game for this year. It has 500 gamblers at any time of the day, and it’s processed more than 2 billion bets so far. The user interface is very friendly and intuitive, and it has lots of options. If you’re not persuaded yet, the house edge is of 1%.

SafeDice

This is another excellent crypto dice game. It’s very much like DuckDice except that the house edge is even lower at 0.5%. And just like with DuckDice (didn’t we say that?) you don’t even need to open an account to play.

As a matter of fact, you couldn’t give the site your email address even if you wanted to because there is just no way of doing it. It’s a popular site that’s handled more than 200 million bets and flow of 100,000 BTC. The numbers are not as impressive as DuckDice’s, but they’re still outstanding.

BitDice

BitDice is an excellent crypto dice game as well. It’s different from the previous two platforms in that it offers several other games not based on dice. And they’re quite particular to the site: Money Farm, Blast Boom Bang, Satoshi’s Secret, and Bit Aces, to name a few.

There are also more classic casino games like Black Jack and a Texas Holdem of sorts. It’s not as popular as the other two, but it’s different, and you should check it out if you’re looking for a bit of variety.

Crypto-Games

It’s a popular platform that concentrates on games that are fast, simple and very popular. Their dice game is quite popular as well, as it processes dozens of bets every second.

The chances are that every bet in this site is 100% fair and you can automate your bets if you’re looking to place many micro bets instead of a single big one. The dice game in this site has more than 2 billion stakes for bitcoin alone! Daily, the number of bets is of about 2.5 million. Also, there’s a chatroom for you to pick a conversation with fellow traders and players.

Ripple: Will Mexican regulations affect XRP’s price?

by

Cryptocurrencies were made to limit or eliminate the control held by the financial system and governments over money and people. This is no conspiracy theory, Satoshi Nakamoto was very clear and vocal about this point when he first launched Bitcoin roughly a decade ago.

Crypto, the world’s governments and regulations.

As the world’s governments realize that, they are trying to exert some form or control (or at least, regulation) over the cryptosphere and blockchain technologies in general. The reasons to try to impose regulation are reasonably obvious.

First of all, digital assets, unlike their fiat cousins, are inherently global. That makes them less volatile (yes, that’s true, surprising as it may seem) and immune to local politics or national political or economic problems. The second reason is even more apparent: effective regulations make for effective tax collection on cryptocurrencies.

The Mexican Stand-off

The world is slowly but surely moving towards cryptocurrency and blockchain solutions adoption with BitCoin and XRP leading the way. As things mature in that regard, attempts to regulate digital money are appearing in several countries in the world. Mexico is the latest example, as the federal government is preparing to introduce some rules to regulate cryptocurrencies within the country.

The Official Federation Daily published an announcement by the country’s central bank (the Bank of Mexico) in which it states an intention to introduce laws that will clarify the country’s position on digital assets. Previous efforts to provide a definition for alternative coins in the country indicate that the country could classify digital currencies as property subject to taxation but not as legal tenders, like the government-issued Peso.

There is a general consensus on the advantages that blockchain technology brings to the table, but also in that there is a need to regulate it in some way, preferably a way that encourages further development and grants enough freedom so that innovation is not hampered.

Creating legislation that can balance efficacy with total control, will be a tricky proposition, though. The proposed laws should not give the government a strong hand, or enable it to stop crypto-based transactions in a terse notice. Mexico is one of the world’s remittance hubs and a country in which Ripple is working extra hard to create payment corridors with the rest of the world.

Ripple’s XRP price analysis

As we write this, Ripple’s XRP is trading in a very narrow range of four cents. This is a very solid token, it’s the world’s third largest by market capitalization, but it’s under pressure, and it hasn’t broken the 34 cent barrier, which is the critical current resistance level.

Unless something extraordinary happens, the right way to go about Ripple now is to be neutral and not to execute long positions unless the price, at last, breaks over the 34 cent barrier supported by high transaction volumes (at least 15 million on average).

That rally would confirm the previous bull run on XRP (which happened on Jan 29-30), and the one on Feb 25 (which came about because of the Coinbase listing).

If the price goes above 40 cents, then the bulls will have their day and could launch the token’s worth all the way to 60 cents by mid-Q2 this year.

TRON and ABCC Exchange Take their Partnership to the Next Level

by

If you thought the initial partnership of Tron and ABCC exchange involving TRC10 tokens was the biggest thing, you’re in for a surprise.

Few crypto assets have had strong enough fundamentals to keep away the bears, and Tron, fortunately, make it to that list. Almost daily the Tron foundation has an announcement to make, and for them, it looks like the series of moves it has been making has helped it solidify its position among the best.

Strong Becomes Even Stronger

It’s a new partnership development. After merely two months since Tron and ABCC exchange came into partnership, the two have taken an extra mile making the connection even stronger after the Singapore-based exchange-listed TRX trading pairs.

According to ABCC exchange, 5 TRX trading pairs will be listed on their platform together with the news that TRX will then be a base trading pair on the exchange. The trading pairs to be listed include BTT/TRX, SEED/TRX, VENA/TRX, IGG/TRX, and TERC/TRX.

Currently, perhaps, the Tron community is experiencing the best time as they’re waking up to positive news almost every day. The initial listing of TRC10 token on the ABCC exchange was a big step for both parties with ABCC looking to announce itself to the crypto sphere.

Who’s the Winner in the Partnership?

Let’s not first forget that ABCC became the first platform to list TRC10 tokens. If the platform has not established itself among the giant exchanges, it will be near impossible not to think that the exchange will get positive improvements.

With a user base of more than 120 countries and communities as well as a daily trading volume of about $40 million, the exchange stands a chance of soaring upwards. For TRX, it’s living up to the expectation of making the internet decentralized. With more partnerships in the offing, the future looks bright for the Sun-led blockchain.

Both TRON and ABCC exchange look to get more partnerships, and with the pace that Tron is breaking the new grounds as well as gaining acceptance, it is worth to say that TRX is one for a watch.

What’s up with the crypto? News from the cryptoverse

by

The cryptosphere is always awash in news. From strategic announcements to the daily prices of hundreds of cryptocurrencies, there’s always something interesting to notice or talk about with fellow cryptonauts. Some of that news is relevant because of the way they affect the markets, and some are relevant because they bring perspective into a project or the overall crypto-situation.

In this article, we’ll inform you about the recent declarations given by a few of the most important personalities in crypto. As stated before, these statements won’t change the market anytime soon, but it’s still good to know what’s in the mind of the people who are behind the scenes in the cryptoverse.

Rippe’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse

Mr. Garlinghouse gave an interview recently in which he explained how Ripple is working with regulators in the US and elsewhere to advance Ripple’s cause, and to ensure a smooth market experience.

Additionally, he talked a little about the Ripple’s XRP price, which is currently of USD 0.318886 (0.81%) (and trading in green numbers).

He described how Ripple’s technologies and digital asset are solving real problems in real life, especially when it comes to settling international payments quickly, safely, and cheaply. If Ripple indeed solves those problems for their clients and strategic partners, the XRP price will reflect it, sooner or later, according to Ripple’s CEO.

EOS’ co-founder and CEO Brendan Blumer

Mr. Blumer made a very bold prediction recently. He said that over the next twenty years BitCoin will become the world’s preferred option for wealth storage, instead of gold. That would break millennia of tradition.

Is that just unbridled optimism? It could be, but EOS’ founder is not alone in this conviction. Other leaders in the technology and the cryptocurrency world have expressed similar views over the last months, even as the market remains receding and under the control of the bears. Time will tell if Mr. Blumer is right.

Barry Silbert, CEO for the Digital Currency Group

The Digital Currency Group is involved as an investor with almost every digital asset there is.

Mr. Silbert explained that institutional investors are still trying their best to stay away from digital money, so their money has yet not arrived in the cryptocurrency market. That is a shame because many observers believe that the next bull run (whenever that happens) will be driven by a big shower of money coming from institutional investors precisely.

But the executive remains optimistic in that regard as he’s sure that the money will roll in for sure at some point during the next 2-3 years.

David Schwartz, Ripple’s CTO

Mr. Schwartz attended the SXSW 2019, in which he gave an interview with an audience.

He detailed his love affair with Bitcoin, which started in 2011 and how he became involved with Ripple.

He explained how he came to realize what made Bitcoin such a great project and his opinion is not exactly the usual one. Mr. Schwartz believes that Bitcoin’s power derives from the sheer transparency in its blockchain, and not from the Proof of Work protocol which is the “secret ingredient” that most observers consider Bitcoin’s hallmark and main advantage (and challenge since it takes such vast amounts of energy to calculate it).

Tron SRs voting on proposal 17, the multi-signature feature on the ranks

by

For many, Tron Super Representatives is that group doing helicopter TRX drops. That whenever you feel like increasing the TRX holdings, you vote for the best SR, seat, and watch your numbers take a hike. But what other things do Tron super representatives do?

Basically, they run the whole Tron protocol. And now, in that line of doing everything possible to make the platform the best, proposal 17 is live and being voted.

The Significance of the Proposal

It seems like Tron is playing its cards in the right direction every single day and having SRs in the first place is proving to be significant all the way. As it’s the case of carrying the platform forward, proposal 17 got initiated.

The direction of Tron protocol has to be decided, and how it evolves, it shouldn’t be an individual’s decision to make. Therefore, voting on the proposals has been the right way, at least up to now.

What the proposal entails

Early during the month, Tron CEO and founder Justin Sun pointed out that the platform was due for an upgrade. With the current ongoings within the platform, we’re already on the upgrade. Reason being, proposal 17 is about allowing the initiation of multi-signature.

The multi-signature feature will be highly essential to the high net worth investors simply because they actually use large institutions to manage their funds as well as the fact that they have a plethora of employees.

Therefore, with the multi-signature feature, it could be even easier to compartmentalize the management of the assets. The general outcome will be more institutional investors flooding the table. The fact that they have a large amount of money makes it significant for Tron as they will bring value to the network.

For now, voting is on and the proposal validity period is (as it has always been) 3 days, and it’s only wise to support the proposal by voting in favor of it. After the three days, then we’ll learn the outcome whether it received sufficient votes (18) in its favor or it will lapse.

Perhaps, some hedge funds might have asked for the feature to be introduced for them to invest in Tron, but whether that was the case or not, the answer could jump in within less than two days.

First ever US-based regulated crypto exchange is on the horizon

by

If you are not an American resident, establishing a digital assets exchange in the country is much of an ordeal than anyone could imagine. The reason is there are many states which probably have not yet realize the blockchain technology’s potential. On the contrary, there also exists some states which are positively inclined towards cryptocurrency perspectives.

As the popularity of the cryptocurrency space grows with its continuously magnifying community, many blockchain initiatives are these days vigilantly looking to break their shoe into the industry. Among them is the United States-based Riot Blockchain.

Last week on Mark 14, Riot Blockchain filed the required paperwork to the country’s regulatory organization, US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), in order to be eligible for launching a full-fledged systematic cryptocurrency exchange in the United States.

According to the filing, the new cryptocurrency exchange will be managed by RiotX Holding Inc., a subsidiary of the company that intends to prioritize the development of at least three major services for the client base, trading, digital wallet, and banking.

The company is expected to develop each of these services by partnering with third-party vendors. The trading engine is going to be provided by the Shift Markets, the banking services will be designed by a California-based software company, SynapseFI, and the provider of the digital wallet for the upcoming exchange is yet to be announced by the firm.

Having these services at their disposal, users will be eligible to open new accounts which will be directly affiliated with the United States’ authorized banking institutions. Therefore, they will be qualified for holding or transferring them either in cryptocurrency or fiat.

The filing further sheds the light on the exchange’s primary focus, which is to mine the bitcoin, the mother of all the cryptocurrencies.

The company also revealed that at the time of launch they intend to initiate the trading with Bitcoin (BTC), Litecoin(LTC), Ethereum(Eth), and Bitcoin Cash(BCH) on the exchange. The mentioned cryptocurrencies will be paired with each other as well as against the US dollars.

The company also told that they will only list cryptocurrencies for which they get extensive regulatory and legal permission by the commission.

The Colorado-based company is determined to launch the exchange by the end of 2nd quarter of 2019 with an ambitious aim to bring the newly launched exchange online in all 50 states of the country except Wyoming and Hawaii. At the time of writing this piece, the company declares to have the approval for five different states in the country.
