Some of the top cryptocurrency markets are going in the red once again. That usually does not bode well for the top altcoins, digital assets, and tokens alike. So far, TRON successfully bucks this trend, albeit it remains to be seen how long the momentum will remain in place this time around.
It has been a very interesting year for TRON, even though the current price might not reflect the positive developments at this time. Two major milestones have been reached, as the developers successfully launched the main net, and Justin Sun acquired BitTorrent. Both developments pave the way for decentralizing the internet as people know it today, albeit there is still a lot of work to be done.

Despite the ban, few digital currency mining

Now i’m not sure if this recent Ethereum scam is genius, or just preying on gullible, but essentially what’s happened is someone has created an app for the Google Play store, that means the page for the app looks as if users can purchase single Ethereum tokens through Google Play, for the value of €335.00, which is actually more than the value of Ethereum on a real exchange at the time of the ‘sale’.
It’s hard to explain, however here’s an image of the ‘sale’ taken from malware researcher Lukas Stefanko on Twitter, see the original tweet here – @LukasStefanko
Google just nixed any app that mines cryptocurrencies from its Play Store.
With a recent update to the store’s policies, the tech monolith rewrote its stance on cryptocurrency apps.
We don’t allow apps that mine cryptocurrency on devices. We permit apps that remotely manage the mining of cryptocurrency.
As the latter half of the policy indicates, other mining applications, such as those that facilitate cloud and other forms of remote mining, will not be removed.
In the Google’s latest move against virtual currencies, cryptocurrency mining apps have been banned from the Google Play Store. Despite the ban, Google has indicated that it will continue to permit mining apps that mine for cryptocurrency from outside of a device, such as cloud-based mining.

At last some excitement! Yesterday Bitcoin leapt nearly 12% in 24 hours but what’s behind the rally? Could it be the BlackRock and Coinbase news or is it purely fundamental?
What a rollercoaster ride! Earlier this week Financial News London reported that the world’s largest ETF provider, BlackRock, had cast its gaze to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as potential investments but before the news even had the opportunity to impact cryptocurrency prices, BlackRock CEO, Larry Fink came out, denying the news and labeling it as hogwash. Then later in the day, Coinbase retracted their supposed SEC approval announcement, claiming to have jumped the gun.
Bitcoin is still in recovery mode, but the bulls must keep prices above key support to maintain momentum.

Historically, Facebook has done a great job of staying on the cusp of technological advancement through investing heavily in new technologies and smart acquisitions. From WhatsApp to Oculus, the company has used its bulging bank balances to stay one step ahead of consumer trends by snapping up tech and talent. And, after last week’s internal announcement that Facebook would be investing heavily in a new blockchain technology research wing, headed by David Marcus, one of the company’s top execs, leader of its Messenger platform and a former CEO of PayPal, it is quite obvious which new emerging technology the company has its sights set on now.
The Lightning Network’s first mobile app for Bitcoin’s mainnet is now available through Google Play. Known as the Eclair Wallet, the app was released on April 4, 2018, via French technology startup ACINQ, and is being offered specifically to Android users.
Devices employing software version 5.0 or higher can send Lightning payments, which require significantly lower fees than the standard Bitcoin network. Transactions also happen much faster compared to on-chain confirmations.
Describing the new product on GitHub, ACINQ wrote:
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has officially ordered all regulated entities to refrain from providing services to any and all businesses involved in the dealing of digital currencies — including, of course, Bitcoin.
The announcement comes via an official press release issued by The Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
Unsurprisingly, the RBI positions itself as merely looking out for consumers’ interests, while also citing the frequently used claims that cryptocurrencies are simply tools for criminals and those looking to undermine market integrity.

The music industry is a multi-billion dollar industry that branches out in many directions and has many profitable avenues to exploit; one such avenue is background music. Many venues resort to playing music that is either unlicensed or not supposed to be used for commercial purposes.
