  • Number of publishers on Brave increased 1,200% since mid-2018

    Privacy-focused web browser Brave has seen a 1,200 percent increase in verified publishers using its Brave Rewards program since July last year. This includes sites like the Washington Post, LadBible and, of course, Decrypt. This shows that adoption of the Brave browser, which includes native cryptocurrency support, is on the rise. The privacy-focused web browser—that blocks ads by default—allows for its users to earn BAT tokens if they choose to accept ads that are provided by Brave. These toke...

  • Hacker dumps more KYC data, piling pressure on Binance

    The hacker that claims to have stolen thousands of KYC documents from Binance has released more photos in a new telegram group set up today. This puts more pressure on the exchange, which has tried to distance itself from the issue, to do something about it or admit that it was at fault. The latest documents were posted in a telegram group this morning, UTC time, advertised via the hacker’s twitter account. They feature KYC documents, including driving licences, passports and even fingerprints....

  • Coinbase escapes lawsuit over insider trading allegations

    A U.S. District Court Judge has ruled that exchange Coinbase did not act fraudulently when it launched controversial Bitcoin fork, Bitcoin Cash (BCH), onto its platform in December 2017. While the exchange initially investigated itself and—unsurprisingly—found no wrongdoing, this was not enough to satisfy angry traders. The class action lawsuit was brought by Jeffrey Berk in December, 2017, accusing Coinbase of insider trading when it suddenly launched Bitcoin Cash on its platform just a few mon...

  • Bitcoin's uncertain status as a safe haven investment

    Bitcoin is a leading global hedge at a time when the US-China trade war is heating up, according to a new report from crypto insights and analysis company SFOX. San Francisco-based SOFOX analyzed price, volume, and volatility data from eight major exchanges and liquidity providers, to reach its conclusions about the state of Bitcoin. Its biggest takeaway: people are investing in it to hedge against global financial uncertainty. However, SFOX’s conclusion are partly based on claims that the S&P 5...

  • Iran's new crypto bill legalizes mining at a cost to miners’ profit margins

    On Sunday, Iran enacted legislation that officially recognizes cryptocurrency mining as an industry. It’s an attempt to create jobs and attract foreign investment. However, the long-awaited legal certainty comes with additional costs for miners. The government is hoping that regulating the industry will lead to the creation of large mining farms, which will become productive industrial units. But for this vision to come to fruition, taxes and other costs are being put in place. For starters, min...

  • Private transactions are coming to Litecoin but need extra funding

    The Litecoin foundation is looking to step up development of private transactions on the Litecoin network. To do so, it has posted a Litecoin wallet address for donations specifically to this cause. So far, the address has received 2.5 litecoin, worth $240. Normal cryptocurrency transactions involve making the transaction data publicly available. This has the downside that blockchain analytics providers can build up profiles of who is sending how much money to whom. Currently, crypto transaction...

  • Square's Cash App makes $125 million by selling bitcoin

    Payments company Square released its second-quarter earnings on Thursday, revealing its crypto-friendly Cash App made $125 million in revenue from bitcoin this quarter. This is nearly twice as much as it made in the preceding quarter. The higher revenue led to a $2 million gross profit purely from bitcoin alone. In the earnings report, the explanation for this massive leap in sales is put down to increased trading volume in bitcoin, largely due to the recent pump in price. Square's bitcoin sales...

  • Bitmain made losses of $310 million in Q1 this year

    Bitmain, the largest bitcoin mining company, reportedly made a loss of $310 million in the first quarter of this year. According to a report on Tencent’s QQ, the mining giant made stunning losses of $625 in the first two months of this year, which were mitigated by a $315 million profit in March. The bad performance was caused by a lack of demand for its 16nm range of mining machines, which were then sold at lower prices. Bitmain has long been the market leader in the production and design of AS...

  • You can now tip BAT on Twitter within the Brave browser

    Twitter users are now able to tip with the Basic Attention Token (BAT) as long as they use the Brave browser. The recent move could put more pressure on Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey—a vocal Bitcoin fan— to introduce native cryptocurrency tipping for all users. Brave is a privacy-preserving web browser that, in default mode, blocks ads and doesn’t collect user information. It also allows users to choose to receive ads and get paid for viewing them. The browser, which has been downloaded six million ti...

  • Only 15% of Bitcoin's total supply is left to mine

    Bitcoin's inflation rate is slowly drawing to a close. Some 85 percent of the 21 million bitcoins that are programmed to come into existence have been mined, leaving just 3.15 million coins left. But while the majority of the supply has been unlocked, the remaining 15 percent will slowly come into being over the next 100 years. New bitcoin is minted every time a new block is created on the network, roughly every 10 minutes, increasing its supply over time. At present, 12.5 bitcoins are produced...

  • Everything you need to know about the Litecoin halvening

    The Litecoin halvening is nearly upon us. On August 5, the supply of coins for mining rewards will be cut in half. Will it lead to a boom in Litecoin’s price? Probably not. Here’s everything you need to know. When block 1,680,000 is reached—predicted to be on August 5—the mining reward will drop from 25 coins to 12.5 per block. The number of blocks being produced however, will remain the same: Two every five minutes. This will mean fewer Litecoins will be created, lowering the rate of inflation...
