Cryptolocally: P2P Exchange Adds Tron to its Platform

by

Cryptocurrency analysts have always stated that partnerships and tie-ups amongst companies are the paths for a brighter, interconnected future. Cryptocurrency exchanges and platforms have taken this adage into account by adding multiple cryptocurrencies to their roster.

Just recently, Cryptolocally, a popular peer-to-peer cryptocurrency trading platform revealed that they had listed Tron on their platform. This makes it the second cryptocurrency that Cryptolocally has included outside the EOS trading ecosystem.

CryptoLocally claimed that it would offer the fastest and easiest way to buy and sell TRX with multiple payments in the currency of users’ choice, using a wide variety of payment methods (Cash Payment, Venmo, PayPal, AliPay, Cash App, etc …).The platform conducts all its transactions on-chain with the added benefit of all the funds being protected in an escrow till the end of the transaction.

According to a recent release by CryptoLocally:

“TRX buyers and sellers will find themselves able to start trading within minutes after registration. CryptoLocally is a private trading platform and does not require KYC verification. The P2P trading platform offers TRON users the cheapest and fastest way to get in and out of crypto conveniently, easily, and safely.”

With the latest listing, CryptoLocally eliminated the middleman route to purchase TRX tokens. Generally, users need to purchase Bitcoin or Ethereum that can then be traded for TRC tokens. By providing a direct channel for fiat-TRX trades, CryptoLocally listened to requests made by the Tron community. The Tronics have always demanded cryptocurrency exchanges and platforms to give TRX trades more importance. The platform promised users that they will be subject to a seamless transaction ecosystem. The release added:

“Aside from offering instant Peer-to-Peer trading, we enable users to trade directly with one another by providing them with an easy-to-use trading platform with all the necessary tools to make transactions simple and fast, removing the need for centralized corporate intermediaries.”

CryptoLocally’s latest decision will also result in lower transaction fees for TRX trades as well as reduced settlement times. The organization stated that Tron transactions will occur much faster on its platform as it does not depend on Bitcoin or Ethereum settlement times. The two largest cryptocurrencies in the world are known for longer settlement times compared to other major altcoins who are mainly used for micropayments.

Users are required to follow three steps to conduct trades on CryptoLocally. The first move is to conduct open trades where a user has to choose TRX as the preferred cryptocurrency to buy or sell. After the buyer and seller agree on terms, the seller can transfer TRX to the secure escrow.

Once the open trades are completed, users will be able to send or receive the agreed amount of the local currency or crypto. While this process occurs, one can also benefit from the frictionless trade cancellations provided by CryptoLocally. The last step is to release the escrow once the funds have been received, after which the TRX will be directly transferred to the buyer’s wallet.

NoleCoin Ups The Crypto Game With NoleX; Community Support Considered a High Priority

by

The developments taken by cryptocurrency companies have been the main marker for adoption across sectors. One of the main examples of such an organization is Nole Legends and its latest exchange NoleX is on a mission to set a standard for cryptocurrency exchanges. 

NoleX was developed by keeping the Tron community in mind and ensuring that all their needs were met.The community has played an important part in the creation of the exchange, and Nole Legends believes that it will soon become a global exchange. Nole Coin is also a partner with TronEurope, a tie-up conducted to create a more interconnected Tron ecosystem.

NoleX stands out from the rest of the pack because of the way it connects references to the user’s exchange experience. The cryptocurrency exchange gives users the benefit of earning 10% of their friends ‘ transactions if they are referred to. The referral system has been deemed quite unique in the Tron ecosystem because of the high return on investment associated with NoleX.

Users will also have the option of dividends earning from the NOLE ecosystem.The dividend token that is earned will be called NOLEWATER and each token corresponds to a greater holding capacity of the NOLE token.

One of the main advantages of using NoleX is the low trading fees compared to other cryptocurrency exchanges when users own the native NOLE token. The company has urged users to hold more NOLE tokens because, with greater adoption, the investment portfolio is also expected to grow exponentially.

This was one of the main pushes for the partnership between $TERC and $NOLE. The official release of the partnership stated:

“The alliance plans to provide an environment to the masses which is decentralized thus creating a democratic, transparent and inclusive eco-system. Team TERC and NOLE decided to join hands because both found a lot of synergy in the value system: leveraging technology to help mankind. “

NoleX has also been busy adding multiple tokens to its platform and had added the WIN token to its roster. During the addition, NoleX conducted polls for its community members to vote. The members were expected to guess the user base that NoleX would reach in a month’s time. NoleX had also conducted a giveaway to celebrate its launch. The lot which is still running required users to follow the exchange’s Twitter handle and register at nolex.org with a Tron wallet.

 

Following this, NoleX added the Tron Weekly token to its fold. This made it the second token after TERC to be listed on the platform. The platform has revealed that it will continue to add more tokens to create a much larger exchange platform. According to NoleX’s Twitter handle, two more tokens are expected to arrive soon.

 

BitTorrent Ecosystem Gets Another Member in DLive as The Tron Family Grows

by

The adoption of new services by blockchain companies has been seen as a mark of increased industry growth. This mantra was again put to action when DLive, the popular blockchain-based content sharing platform announced that they would be joining the BitTorrent ecosystem. DLive’s entry will also mean that the organization will begin its migration to the Tron blockchain.

The content-sharing platform will use the much-lauded BitTorrent File-Sharing System [BTFS] to ensure that the content uploaded on DLive moves to a more secure and decentralized system.

The partnership will also allow BitTorrent’s user base [which amounts to more than 100 million] to gain access to DLive’s live streaming offerings. An official press release from DLive said:

“Starting today, DLive and its blockchain development team will collaborate with the BitTorrent team to bolster its products and services. BLive, the live streaming platform introduced by BitTorrent in early 2019, will be merged into the DLive platform, and their team will join the DLive team. DLive has grown in strides over the past 15 months. The streaming platform boasts a passionate community, a niche product-market fit, and strong adoption has grown to over five million monthly active users.”

Tron Foundation CEO Justin Sun had also heaped praises on DLive by calling it one of the best real-world examples of what is possible when an organization combines blockchain and digital media. The CEO was confided that with the DLive-BitTorrent collaboration, content creators will get a proper chance at launching their stuff. DLive had first migrated to the Lino blockchain in September 2019 and their last major update was introducing the IDA-Lemon as the platform currency on the Lino blockchain.

Charles Wayn, the CEO of DLive further opined that Tron’sn advancements in the digital asset space go hand in hand with DLive’s goal of empowering creators and rewarding communities with amplifying their capabilities. The organization has revealed that it will begin to offer rewards and benefit points to already existing users to move from Lino to the BitTorrent ecosystem. According to DLive officials, once all users transition from the Lino blockchain, it will no longer be used.

Despite the developments on the Tron blockchain, the cryptocurrency has still not witnessed marked upkeep in its price with the bear market not doing it any favours. At press time, Tron held a value of $0.013 and a total market cap of $890.8 million, a far cry from its range in the billions. The 12th placed cryptocurrency held a 24-hour market volume of $1.15 billion.

Wish you could mine Tron Weekly token? That’s possible, already, and comes with a good cause. Last March 21st, Tron Weekly Journal officially launched its Mining program. It is a weekly activity where the payout is given every Thursday. In this post, we’ll provide you with details of this awesomely ‘rewarding’ crypto mining program.

[email protected]

[email protected] is a distributed computing project which is being operated in Pande Laboratory at Stanford University. Its main purpose is to study the causes of protein misfolding which results in several diseases including but not limited to Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and Huntington’s disease, and cancer.

The project uses idle processing resources of the computers being used by the volunteers to simulate protein folding and to examine why it misfolds.

They are the pioneers in using graphics processing units (GPU), Message Passing Interface (used for computing on multi-core processors), Sony Xperia smartphones, and PlayStation 3s for distributed computing and scientific research. In 2007, Guinness World Records recognized [email protected] as the most powerful distributed computing network, with a computing power of 135 petaFLOPS (135 quadrillion floating point operations per second), as of 2018.

The Tron Weekly Mining Program

Tron Weekly Journal joined thousand of teams volunteering on the cause of finding cures and in improving drug design to several illnesses. We at TronWeekly encourage our users to join and share their computer’s computing power to the research and in return, give rewards to the participants as per certain terms. Hence the term “mining”.

The mining has a weekly cycle and it resets every Thursday at 1 PM SGT (UTC+8). After that, the payout rewards for each participant get calculated and sent within 1 hour. The rewards pool starts in a specific amount and it increases once we reached milestones per stage. We are currently in the third stage of mining.

An exclusive interview with Chibi Fighters core developer, a blockchain-based game that’s expanding to Tron after Ethereum

by

The blockchain undoubtedly is disrupting the whole gaming experience effectively and quickly. We’ve seen some blockchain games that have grown in popularity in no time, and now, it seems there’s another elephant in the house, Chibi Fighters.

Chibi Fighters gives you an incredible, fun-filled survival game (where you need to secure your pet dragon) to enjoy and a platform to make handsome money through cryptocurrencies (you earn real crypto rewards, in TRX).

The game had been running on Ethereum for some time already but the developers decided to expand to Tron recently (the game will be fully-launched on Tron by coming March). Powered by the Tron blockchain technology now and with cool graphic designs, the core developer will be telling us in detail about himself, Chibi Fighters, why they chose Tron, and more in this interview.

Can you tell us a little bit about your background and experience?

I started programming in a time where bulletin boards and aol existed. Back then there was this nifty little program called 3D Studio Max, which of all the 3D programs had a German translation. Btw. That’s why it’s still super popular in Germany.

Anyway, long story short: Making art for my games was more fun than trying to write them so I studied Digital Arts, became a digital artist, left Germany, worked at Weta Digital in New Zealand and was living my personal dream.

While working on Avatar, Hobbit and the likes was an amazing time, crypto was also very interesting. And with it being new, hyped, interesting, I decided to quit my day job and have a go at this bitcoin thing.

My ASIC became my best friend.

How did you meet with crypto and blockchain?

Being surrounded by passionate digital artists, rumors about Bitcoin traveled fast. It soon became office talk #1.

Tell us about how you came up with the idea of Chibi Fighters.

Originally it was the art that convinced me. Asa is such a talented artist, not to forget Kiwi of course, who is also very amazing. The original wave of Chibis was just a game asset. I needed to work on an incredibly low budget. I knew something could be done with those little fighters. While back then there was no animation or even RPG elements planned and soon grow big.

What are the biggest challenges when working on blockchain gaming projects?

The blockchain, interaction, updates. The area is so vast and new, it is impossible to keep up. You would need at least one programmer exclusively dealing with blockchain stuff, per blockchain.

Ethereum is super relaxed. Things hardly ever break. So, we can use our energy and focus on Tron.

Why you chose Tron (also, why you decided to move from Ethereum)?

First of all, it is important to me that we are not moving blockchains. We are expanding. Since we are a fighting game we thought it would be fun to have cross blockchain battles. The Tron server will be completely separate from Ethereum. However, markets will be merged where possible. That way players benefit from each other while still maintaining a friendly hostility.

The move, of course, was a similarity between the chains. It’s basically a clone of Ethereum. So easy to move over, or so we thought. Tron has various benefits over Ethereum, like no gas prices and no annoying ABIs to deal with. But their tech is very very new and is updated constantly.

We see you’ve got a referral program, would you please mind providing some details about that to our readers?

Yes, we do. Everyone can create a referral and receives 20% of sales created with their ref link. It is hardcoded into the contract so no requesting anything from us is needed, you get auto-paid.

What are your future plans or projects?

We just released a multiplayer module for Chibis. Moving forwards we are missing raids and a new clan system. Basically expanding multiplayer, and go from there.

Last, in your opinion, how will the blockchain change computer games from the way we’ve known them for years?

Difficult question. Of course, we all hope to Moon no matter what blockchain it is, but let’s be serious here for a moment. Games run on tight budgets (yes even a AAA title have tons of expenses, one bad choice, and the studio is bust) so adding on top of that the additional hassle of dealing with a fragile very volatile software and the market scenario is a decision, not one CFO will approve.

That being said though, this is exactly the strength of the new medium. Giving players ownership of their goods. You can dump 1000h in your WOW warrior, Blizzard laughs their ass to the bank and might just ban your account because why not.

Same goes for Magic, introducing their Duels where you can’t even trade cards anymore, an odd choice for a trading card game. Hearthstone etc. Studios will suck you dry.

Now actually owning your characters, assets and being able to sell them is something that is, of course, great for players, so this will be interesting to see how it unfolds.

In addition, it is easier to offer ingame revenue. Normal payment processors like PayPal would block your account if you dare to give the player a profit. Or fees will just kill you.
Pyramid schemes are fun, but having a quick game of something, and even if you just make some cents, it’s some cents you made by having fun, this will be interesting to see where it will take us.
