#1 Source For Bitcoin And Altcoin News
A new AsiaCoin wallet has been released, and this is a mandatory update, so all users have to upgrade their client as soon as possible. In this release, a few issues are fixed, staking has been extend, and much more. Let’s take a look!
Apparently, a lot of AsiaCoin users were experiencing synchronisation issues. I’m not sure whether it just took very long, or whether they didn’t get any connections. Whatever the reason was, the issue should be fixed with the new client.
So what is happening over at AsiaCoin? Quite a few things actually, as they are one of the few coins being added to CoinPayments, the Foundation is looking to add more developers, and more things are happening. Let’s take a look.
So as I just mentioned, the recent CoinPayments Coin Poll Vote has ended, and five new coins have been added to the platform. AsiaCoin is one of them, along with MyriadCoin, UltraCoin, FlutterCoin and GroestlCoin.
It remains a matter of time to see how many merchants, who are using CoinPayments to process Crypto transactions, will also enable AsiaCoin payments. Hopefully this will create a rebound for the price on exchanges.
Have you been craving for some more AsiaCoin news? WSo have we! But thankfully, we have received some more information about what projects are in the pipelines. And I have to say, you will be impressed.
Top 3 priorities
The AsiaCoin Web Wallet is currently one of the three top projects in the works. It’s a feature that has been requested by quite a lot of people during recent weeks, and once you used a web wallet, you can see the appeal. No official ETA yet unfortunately.
It has been a while since there were some new developments coming from DreamCoin. That has a pretty good reason apparently, as the original developer has deleted the coin source code, block explorers and a bunch of other things.
I’m starting to see a trend forming here, where people “create” (I’m using this term very loosely) a new Crypto , spread it out, cash in and then tell the rest to “fudge off”. While this an interesting way to make some quick money, it’s not the way we want Crypto to go.
There have been some new developments in regards to AsiaCoin. Despite this Crypto’s value still being down by quite a lot, there are things being set in motion to help it recover. Adding to a new exchange is a good start, wouldn’t you agree?
The exchange I’m talking about is known by most of you, and is called Coin-Swap. The good news for AsiaCoin is that it is listed in two different trading pairs, one against Bitcoin and one against DogeCoin.
Today is an opportune time to check back in with the Genesis-Mining team. As I’ve mentioned in my interview with Jan from Genesis-Mining , conducted at Bitcoin 2014 in Amsterdam last week, there were changes coming, such as new coins.
And the team delivered on that promise, by adding a few new coins to their repertoire already. AuroraCoin, LottoCoin and FeatherCoin have been added to the list of mineable coins at Genesis-Mining.
We mentioned before that users would be able to cast their vote on which coin they wanted to see added next. This vote is currently underway on Facebook (link below this article), and the contestants are : MegaCoin, WorldCoin, AsiaCoin, AnonCoin and PotCoin.
It appears as if CoinPayments has opened up a new vote in order to let the crypto community decide which coin(s) to add. Surprisingly enough to a lot of people, AsiaCoin is leading that vote right now by quite a margin.
First of all, allow me to say that, in order to cast a vote on the CoinPayments poll, you have to pay 0.001 Bitcoin, which is very cheap. Each user can only submit one vote, as your IP is logged for future reference.
AsiaCoin has created a ThunderClap campaign, in order to get a bigger social outreach, and also attract more and new investors to the coin itself. A second block explorer is also in the works. Let’s take a closer look!
If you have no idea what ThunderClap really does, it allows you to easily spread a message throughout social media, such as Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr. It is a platform to create a buzz for your project, free of charge.
Even though I realise a lot of you readers really couldn’t care less about anything that’s even remotely related to AsiaCoin, there is a new tiny bit f interesting news that others might find useful, so we are going to talk about it.
Late last evening , MintPal has re-opened the AsiaCoin/Bitcoin trading market on the exchange. After reviewing the updated AsiaCoin source code, the decision was made. As you can imagine, this decision upset quite a lot of people after everything that’s happened.
Since the re-listing of the AsiaCoin/Bitcoin trading pair on BTER, the price hasn’t responded too well it seems. Even though there is over 20 Bitcoin of trading volume on this exchange for AsiaCoin, the value has dipped by over 30% in the last 24 hours.
Now I know 20 Bitcoin might not seem like much to most of you, especially not on such a well-known exchange as BTER. But if you look at the Bitcoin trading pair charts, there is nearly no volume on any of the other coins for some reason.
It’s time for some good news coming from AsiaCoin. As we reported yesterday, about half of the exchanges had already looked at the updated source code and updated their wallets. The new wallet is now available for all users as well.
I can imagine it has been a long wait for everyone who is still holding some AsiaCoin, after expecting the updated source code to be released for a few weeks now. Overnight, the binaries have been compiled for both Windows and Mac OS X , which can be found here.
So this will be the first article I’m writing on my freshly arrived Chromebook. I really like this device and it will be useful for my trip to Bitcoin 2014 in Amsterdam next week! Let’s start the day off with some more AsiaCoin news, shall we?
As we mentioned a day or two ago, the new and updated AsiaCoin client has been compiled, and the sources were sent out to exchanges for review. MintPal have announced that, due to their maintenance yesterday, they haven’t had a chance to review the new code yet.
We have posted quite a few articles on AsiaCoin lately, because of so many things that have happened. A lot of people would stop reporting on AsiaCoin after what happened, but we don’t. There are some positive things happening , so let’s take a look.
As we mentioned before a new team is looking at the AsiaCoin source code, in order to make sure there are no more hidden coins, and also to bring AsiaCoin back to life. It was estimated to have the fixed source code ready by today.
The past few days have been rough and turbulent for anyone involved with AsiaCoin. After finding out there will a lot more coins in existence than there should be (click here), and the announcement of creating AsiaCoin V2 (click here), it seems things have gotten even worse.
To put it mildly and bluntly at the same time : the idea of launching AsiaCoin V2 was stupid to begin with in the first place. Stupid in the sense of “people aren’t going to trust anything remotely related to AsiaCoin anymore”.
It really looks like things are going from bad to worse with AsiaCoin. After yesterday’s news about there being 10 times as many AC in circulation than there should be, all exchanges removed AsiaCoin trading pairs. Apparently, there will be an AsiaCoin relaunch….
When I say relaunch, I really mean it. There will be an AsiaCoin V2, which will be Proof-of-Stake only. It will also allow any current AsiaCoin holders to convert their coins to AsiaCoin V2. You can see why I’m not too excited about this idea, right?
There isn’t a day that goes by in the cryptocurrency world without some drama. This time, the focus is on AsiaCoin, and not in a good way I’m afraid. After a statement from the AsiaCoin developer to “stop trading and withdraw coins from exchanges” , a mass panic ensued.
It all began when one of the forum members pointed out there were about 3 billion more coins than we currently knew about. That would mean there are ten times as many coins as there ever would or should be.
So today we will be talking a bit more about cryptocurrency. Not like you’d come to expect anything else, but it’s just a general reminder. I want to start the day off with some positive AsiaCoin news!
As you know by now, AsiaCoin’s Proof-of-Work stage has ended on Wednesday, and the Proof-of-Stake stage has begun. This also meant that the AsiaCoin clients would start generating interest stake on user’s balances.
Because of the recent issues with some Proof-of-Work/Proof-of-Stake hybrid coins , a lot of people, including myself, were anxiously awaiting whether or not the staking process would go on without any (major) issues.
There seems to be a lot of panic on the alternate cryptocurrency exchange MintPal at this time. Deposits and withdrawals for WhiteCoin have been halted because of a double-spend attack on WhiteCoin. AsiaCoin is one of the coins caught in the ensuing chaos.
While AsiaCoin and WhiteCoin have absolutely nothing to do with each other, it does seem as if people are emptying their alternate cryptocurrency portfolios. While AsiaCoin is actually one of the coins with the biggest growth potential to hold, traders aren’t always thinking clearly.
Today will be a very interesting day to keep an eye on AsiaCoin. While the Proof-of-work stage of AsiaCoin is ending today, or to be more precise, in a few hours, a lot of people are expecting a price increase very soon.
The reason for the price increase would be because a lot of multipools are also mining AsiaCoin a lot of the time, but if the coin can’t be mined anymore, there won’t be as much dumping by multipools as there is now.
This week will be a very interesting week for everyone interested in and involved with AsiaCoin. Not only does the Proof-of-Work stage end Wednesday, but there are also talks of having an AsiaCoin Multipool by then.
When AsiaCoin launched on April 16th, it was indicated from the start there would be two full weeks of mining AC before the Proof-of-Work stage would end. This worked in its favor, as “two weeks” is a lot easier to remember than “after X amount of blocks”.
