SRC & DGC Buzz From Baritus

Securecoin (SRC) and Digitalcoin (DGC) are two very good cryptocurrencies, and the following stats are evidence of this fact.


Baritus, the developer of both coins gave us some information:

After being added to Bter, we have seen SRC’s daily volume soar past 1 million CNY. DGC has always been at home at Cryptsy, and it is nice to see it getting some Chinese exposure on another exchange.

Digitalcoin

DGC now has a 1 milllion USD market cap! DGC is a major contender for the best alt-coin. This time-tested coin is looking better and better.

CryptoAve is now in beta testing, and is coming along nicely. USD markets for DGC and SRC are to be available at this exchange, headed by Baritus.

Stablecoin – Back from the dead

Stablecoin – Back from the dead, and an excellent investment oppurtunity


“I’m sure many were disappointed and confused when I vanished earlier this year, and StableCoin development grinded to a halt. My life’s been playing out like something out of a Hollywood movie. I do not want to talk at length about the situation at the moment, but it’s been a very harrowing experience. I’ve been disconnected from the rest of the world for the better part of 5 months and have had a lot taken from me.”

One of this coin’s weakest points was that it has a pretty big premine, supposedly for use in a coin mixing service. As part of the rebirth of stablecoin, artos has destroyed the entirety of the premine. This is great news, and bodes great for the future of the coin.

This could quite possibly be the biggest news in the altcoin scene this year. In part to artos’ disappearance, stablecoin has bottomed out at a price of 0.00000400 on Cryptsy as of yesterday. Since this news has broken, some huge buy orders have been rolling in, pushing the price up to, 0.00000800, as of the time I write this article.

Stablecoin itself is a relatively scarce coin, with only about 6 million of them floating around. To that end, the current price on cryptsy is still egregiously underpriced. A short term price target of $0.50 or even $1.00 is very reasonable, judging by similar coins on http://coinmarketcap.com. At the moment, each coin is still under a penny… So there’s plenty of room for it to grow.

Expect explosive gains in the coming days. Those who get in early will profit immensely.

Quark – Is it worth buying?

I’ve always had somewhat of a soft spot for Quark.


It was a quirky little CPU mined coin that launched with a very unique hashing mechanism, yet faded into obscurity in part due to how horribly it was managed. And yet here I am writing an article about it… Why, you ask?

Quark is up over 2000% during the past week. A lot of other coins have seen significant growth during this period as well, but most of those coins (SRC, PTS, to name a few) owe their growth to being listed on the chinese based BTC38 exchange, and the resulting influx of yuan. Quark is different in that it’s growth has been spurred by non-chinese sources.

So what’s been driving quark’s growth if not the chinese? Supposedly Bill Still (who I’ve admittedly never heard of, yet apparently has somewhat of a following behind him) has expressed interest in it. This could mean good things to come, if the hype is to be believed.

With rumors flying around that BTC38 is looking into adding quark, there’s still room for even more explosive growth. The chinese have altcoin fever right now, and are indiscriminately pumping money into any coin they can get their hands on. With the relative low cost per unit of quark, it could see some impressive growth should it get listed.

All things considered, I believe it to be worthwhile to hold a speculative stake of this coin at the moment. The coming days should be very interesting.

Feathercoin Official Weekly Update #9

The Price of Survival


Feathercoin Key Stats

217 days since genesis block creation

Approx. 23,200,000 Feathercoins created

Approx. 14.7 days behind target generation rate

The abundance of open source has met with the scarcity of money. If money were not scarce it would not force us to make the sacrifices necessary to reveal our true preferences to the group. That mechanism cannot work without consensus across a broad range of people. In order to be money everyone must agree all the time that your currency has value. It is not good enough that the butcher only believes dollars are worth something 3 days a week. The relative value may fluctuate against various commodities but he must be willing to exchange his money at all times.

When someone sees something in you that scares them they face a choice. They can either attack you or they can be humble and curious. This crypto currency space can be hostile at times because while the code may be open source and shared the money it creates is not and that terrifies us. We all believe we have unique access to the truth, sometimes we need so desperately to be right that we distract ourselves from what is important. I have found the best way to respond to hostility is to keep working and with that we now turn to some of the hardest workers in our community…

CryptoKnox

I don’t know how many times I can say this but UKMark, Nutnut and Svenn have done it again. UKMark is the guy who has put in countless hours in to SMS Wallet and now another 350 hours in to CryptoKnox the new online wallet with Merchant API exclusive to Feathercoin. The lads have committed some serious energy and commitment in to the project.

I don’t know where they get their energy from but what I do know is that I will always support someone willing to put in this kind of time and effort and do my best to remove any obstacles to their success.

CryptoKnox is and online wallet with Merchant API currently in alpha testing

I spoke to them last night on skype and they told me:

Security is paramount especially since the inputs.io scandal so fresh in our minds. All wallets are stored off host, all servers are hardened to the latest standards, all interserver traffic is encrypted AND on private networks, and everything is behind cloudflares CDN.

The Reason behind Knox is to make FTC more accessible to the new people. To find, download and setup a wallet when you first start your journey in to crypto is somewhat daunting. Cryptoknox aims to offer an easy and secure way to get your first Feathercoin wallet address.

This is just an alpha at the moment, security is the most important feature which is why we are asking for some keen beta testers. The lads are getting help from some security experts and I will be helping them with UX and usability feedback.

EDIT: UKMark asked me to point out that the CryptoKnox wallet is not just an online wallet but also includes a secure Merchant API to help merchants integrate Feathercoin payments in to their existing shopping carts. There is more info on their home page.

Local Feathercoin Progress Report

Since its launch back in early October our Feathercoin Map has been growing faster and faster. The main motivation behind the project was to highlight the need for localism. We like to think of Feathercoin as a local currency and you don’t get to the very big without paying attention to the very small.

From our humble beginnings back in early October…

…to the present day

Now due to the rising demand on this page we are slowing down the entries in order to verify all the accounts before we move on to the next stage. If you have put your name forward but don’t see yourself on there it’s because we need some time to verify you on the forum.

Plans now include putting on crypto related events, could be a Bitcoin Conference or a local Litecoin meetup, we don’t care as long as it involves a blockchain. So we welcome all submissions, I will try and get a new form put up there in the next week but in the mean time you can PM me personally like Smoothie on our forum who will be selling his physical Bitcoins and Litecoins at the Inside Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas in December.

The London Bitcoin Expo

Speaking of communities and events here’s a good one. We first heard about the London Bitcoin Expo back in July when we attended the BTC London conference. We try to attend as many of these as possible to make sure we get to meet face to face and away from our computer screens.

This free event welcomes all people and the organisers are working very hard at making this a success

Ruth spoke to Alex who is leading the organisation of the Expo the other day and it sounds like these guys are working incredibly hard. We know just how they feel after the mission we faced in Amsterdam. There will be a stall where people can donate their goods to be sold for Crypto, a virtual treasure hunt where people can venture out in to London to unlock bounties and a fantastic lineup of Speakers.

You can register for the event on the London Bitcoin Meetup page which is run by our friend Iain Cresswell. The impact of crypto on the ground is what it’s all about.

TL;DR — Genius and the Wisdom to Remember It

Everyone wants to be the genius, the one who makes that breakthrough discovery with the razor sharp insight but what’s harder is working on the task right in front of you, the one you can work on right now. Surrounding yourself with the people who want to support you and appreciate you for what you do is one of the most important steps you can take. What is genius without the wisdom to remember it? It’s often the wisdom that can understand the genius better than the genius understood herself.

You don’t need to be the best qualified to undertake a task you simply need the determination to carry on even while everyone around you is telling you to stop.

FRANKO. The digital currency

What is Franko?

Written by Seiko Chan


Franko is an amazing new digital currency based on cryptography. Franko coins can instantly be sent anywhere in the world over the internet for little to no cost. One Franko is denominated as 1 FRK.

Where do new Franko come from?

Franko releases new currency units into the economy at a predictable rate of 720FRK per day until the network has produced 11,235,813 FRK. New Frankos are created in a process referred to as “mining,” which involves Franko users running software that tries to calculate a complex mathematical solution that increases in difficulty based on the amount of other users trying to caclulate the same solution. One can compare it to finding a needle in a haystack. Whoever finds the needle first, earns 0.25 Frankos, anonounces the find to everyone else and then the process starts all over again. The goal is to find that needle every 30 seconds, so the more people searching for the needle the bigger the haystack becomes. Finding the Franko solution involves an incredible amount of computer processing power, and so users often collectively work together in “pools” in order to find the solution and earn Frankos on a more regular basis.

Where can you get Franko?

There are only two ways to get Franko. The first way to get Franko is by enabling your computer to confirm transactions for the network (“mining”). Confirming transaction blocks often involves an incredible amount of processing power, so users often mine together in “franko pools” in order to process transactions faster and earn Franko on a more regular basis. The second way to get Franko is simply to buy them from someone who already has them. You can earn your first Franko by following the Getting Started guide sponsored by BriefCaseIT:

Alpha Technology Developing Litecoin ASIC Miner

Alpha Technology is officially announcing their partnership with Dexcel Electronics Designs, an established and well known embedded systems (FPGA) design house based in India.


The CEO of Dexcel has authored a good write-up for The Hindu, a top newspaper there, and states the Alpha Technology partnership in it. It should be in hard-copy by the time of this reading. Click here to read it in it’s entirety.

Topping this news, is another announcement from Alpha that they have, in conjunction with Dexcel, been developing the world’s first Litecoin ASIC miner!

And we quote:

“We have partnered and have for the past few months been developing together a Litecoin ASIC miner, which is a considerable achievement in the world of cryptocurrencies. Especially with the level of expertise and workforce we are bringing to the table. Dexcel’s partnership considerably brings more expertise and workforce in the ASIC and semiconductor sector, than any other ASIC company currently in the cryptocurrency market. Dexcel are also long-term design partners with Intel, Texas Instruments, Xilinx etc.”

This is more than exciting news for the Litecoin community, and cryptocurrency as a whole. Alpha Technology is looking hot right now. The news that they are developing such a ground-breaking device as this, and taking into account the news of their partnership with Dexcel, we believe it will all together catapult them into lead as one of the most innovative companies in the mining game right now.

There were lots of skeptics, and rightly so with the state of things right now, that wanted more from Alpha on their product. This news about their teaming with Dexcel Electronics Designs should go a long way in establishing their credibility.

With the big news that a well established Indian engineering company is also getting into the cryptocurrency market, we wonder how long until other major companies follow suit.
