Use Bitcoin To Cover Clinic Payments With BitMD

June 26, 2015 By JP Buntinx Leave a Comment

Making Bitcoin more usable for the everyday consumer is a difficult hurdle to overcome. Not just because it is hard to get Bitcoin into the hands of people in a convenient way, but also because there are not enough “real life” use cases at this time. BitMD is looking to change that, by allowing clinics to accept Bitcoin payments.

BitMD – POS Terminals, Bitcoin Wallet Software, and Teller Machines

The name BitMD is relatively unknown in the world of Bitcoin and digital currency. However, that may not be the case for much longer, as the company has unveiled their ambitious plans to allow for patient payments in Bitcoin at clinics. In order to do so, BitMD will be combining all of their services to bring over-the-counter Bitcoin payments to medical payments. Read more...

Noblecoin To Issue Crowd Funded Coloured Coin NOXT

December 3, 2014 By JP Buntinx Leave a Comment

Noblecoin is one of those rare altcoin gems which gets overlooked by pretty much the entire cryptocurrency community. Whereas most other digital currencies facing such a scenario would face their demise relatively soon, NOBL has been pushing forward and adapting their strategy. As a result of all of this hard work, a whitepaper was released recently, discussing the launch of a crowd funded coloured coin called NOXT.

Coloured coins work very differently from your regular cryptocurrencies, and they could be subject to increased regulation and accountability. Several aspects of the NOXT whitepaper are still just theories at this point in time, but the whitepaper in itself makes for a very interesting read. We will try to provide a small recap below.

UCIcoin Is An Asset-Backed Digital Currency Rewarding Early Investors With Shares And Dividends

November 7, 2014 By JP Buntinx Leave a Comment

When new altcoins are announced, it’s not as easy as you’d like to find a coin that stands out by at least trying something different compared to the rest. A friend of mine brought my attention to UCIcoin and their universal crowdfunding investments. That line got me intrigued, so let’s see what UCI is all about!

Introduction

UCIcoin comes to us with a grand plan to bring both investors and cryptocurrency onto a new platform of business development. According to the developers, more and more altcoin enthusiasts are shying away from non-asset backed digital currencies. On the other hand, according to the UCI developers, most altcoins are controlled by developers and whales. Read more...

It looks like all of the digital currencies involved in the BlockNet project are slowly releasing news in regards to recent or upcoming updates. StealthCoin will receive a wallet update very soon, and some more technical details have been provided to us by Hondo. Let’ see what’s in store for the XST community, shall we?

In what might be the biggest selling point of the new SteatlhCoin wallet, the entire codebase has been revamped. A very talented developer has been recruited by the XST team in order to provide a complete redesign, based on the work by lead designer Sascha Pahlke of Pahlke Media. Read more...

Halcyon To Be Listed on MintPal V2, Decentralied Marketplace & More!

September 17, 2014 By JP Buntinx Leave a Comment

It has been a while since we last talked about Halcyon, but the developer did provide us with a small update yesterday evening. All of the news is positive so far, although no official dates have been announced. Oh, and this altcoin will be added to MintPal V2 on September 21st!

The HAL developer took some well-needed time off from the BitcoinTalk forums in order to do some coding. The updated code payout for running a Halcyon masternode is being worked on as we speak, in order to increase the PoS staking amount for people running said nodes. Read more...

GroesltCoin News Roundup – PoS Idea Cancelled, New Developers And Lots More

August 18, 2014 By JP Buntinx Leave a Comment

One of the hardest working teams in the world of cryptocurrency and altcoins seems to go by unnoticed by pretty much everyone in this Crypto world of ours. Not because the announcements aren’t interesting though, but I can’t exactly tell you why. GroestlCoin has gone through another round of announcements and improvements, so let’s take a look!

In our previous GroestlCoin article, which was well over a month ago so I do assume we are partly to blame as well for what I just said, we talked about their progress in regards to merchant adoption and services. You might wonder how they could top those feats, and the answer is simple : by working hard. Read more...

GuerillaCoin – Proof-of-Work Phase is Over!

June 25, 2014 By JP Buntinx Leave a Comment

Grab your barrels and your oversize apes because it’s time to go bananas over Guerillacoin! Guerillacoin, or GUE — just recently hit Bittrex — and has been making moves in volume, going from a mere 6k Satoshi, reaching highs of 20k Satoshi before settling down to – as of this writing – about 14k Satoshi. This coin is getting BIG attention. Why might you ask? Because GUE has some great features coming right out of the door. GUE is hybrid PoW/PoS (similar to BlackCoin). There were 6000 POW blocks with a block reward of 750. The PoW phase has now ended for GUE, and 4.5million GUE are now in circulation following the PoW. You can still receive additional GUE by staking (as it is a PoS coin). The total amount of GUE that will ever be created will stop at 15million — a very modest coin amount for a hybrid PoW/PoS coin.

GuerillaCoin – New X11 Crypto With Unique Proof-of-Strength Feature

June 22, 2014 By JP Buntinx Leave a Comment

To start off this Super Sunday (no reference to SuperCoin, but due to the fact Belgium plays in the World Cup!), I want to take a look at GuerillaCoin, a recently launched Crypto with a hard working team of developers.

Being only launched a few days ago, GuerillaCoin has been off to a great start. The launch itself went smooth, except for some unusual amount of suspicious (and anonymous) hashrate on one of the mining pools.

While this would usually lead to a relaunch, the GuerillaCoin developers took the better route, by quickly implementing code fixes and hard forking the coin. An updated GuerillaCoin client was released within hours, and is available for download here. Read more...

In five to seven days, the Proof-of-Work phase of SuperCoin will be over. The last PoW block is number 24,000. Part of the reason why this new client version ifs mandatory, is to ensure the transition from PoW to PoS will be smooth. Read more...

June 17, 2014 By JP Buntinx 2 Comments

Let’s take this time to talk about some new coins for a change. I had originally intended to do this yesterday, but got sidetracked by some other things. CryptCoin is one of those coins which is getting a lot of attention lately, so let’s take a look, shall we?

CryptCoin saw the light of day on May 20th 2014, making this coin roughly four weeks old as of this writing. Ever since the launch, the developers of CryptCoin have been hard work to bring more features and support to this Crypto. Read more...

DistroCoin Mandatory Update Includes PoS Algorithm Patch

June 7, 2014 By JP Buntinx Leave a Comment

Apparently there have been some minor issues with DistroCoin lately. Some people are complaining about slow block and transaction speeds, as well as staking complaints. A new DistroCoin client has been released today though.

As I mentioned, people were reporting transaction times of over 50 minutes to send coins from one wallet to another, which is even slower than Bitcoin transactions in most cases. Others were not staking properly in the DistroCoin client.

The developer, Raxe.io, has released an updated DistroCoin client today for all platforms (Mac OS X, Linux & Windows). This client should fix all the aforementioned issues, and speed up the DISTRO network significantly. Read more...

SilkCoin Mandatory Windows Client Update

May 11, 2014 By JP Buntinx Leave a Comment

Even though we only talked about SIlkCoin yesterday, there is some more news available, as well as a mandatory Windows client update. Plus, its still very cheap to pick up some SilkCoin if you haven’t already.

Let’s start off with the mandatory Windows client update. The new SilkCoin client fixes a debug log error apparently, although I’m not sure how many people that will affect. Either way, it is advised to upgrade your client as soon as possible. Read more...

SilkCoin – A Bitcoin Alternative

May 10, 2014 By JP Buntinx 2 Comments

After receiving a handful of requests through Twitter this morning, and also getting poked by my buddy ThisWeeksCoin, I think it’s time we take a look at SilkCoin. Apparently , this coin is generating quite some buzz, so lets take a look.

First of all, SilkCoin has absolutely nothing to do with Silk Road. The SilkCoin developers want this to be crystal clear to everyone, as Silk refers to the fabric you can find in clothing, nothing more and nothing less. Read more...

YinCoin & YangCoin – Harmoniously Complementing CryptoCurrencies With Switching PoW/PoS roles

May 4, 2014 By JP Buntinx Leave a Comment

Without trying to sound like a broken record on a constant loop, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to make your cryptocurrency stand out among the others. So what can you do? How about making two cryptocurrencies that complement each other? I’m talking about YinYangCoin!

With the recent load of new features we have seen from cryptocurrency developers, such as different or multiple mining algorithms, purposes, PoW/PoS, having intertwined cryptocurrencies is something completely new .

So why develop two coins, and call them YinYangCoin? Or , to be more precise, why call them YinCoin and YangCoin? As you know, Yin and Yang represent opposites forces or principles you can find throughout all aspects of life, and they need to be properly balanced. Read more...

Summer is almost upon us, ladies and gentlemen, and you know what that means : flashy, fashionable colors! The cryptocurrency scene is no exception to that this year, with BlackCoin, WhiteCoin, YellowCoin, ReddCoin, and now….BlueCoin!

I always say “you shouldn’t discriminate because of color”, so we try to cover all the “colored” cryptocurrencies here on CryptoArticles. We’re starting with BlueCoin today, and will look at YellowCoin,ReddCoin,OrangeCoin and WhatevercolorCoin that comes out as well.

Before I tell you what BlueCoin is all about, did anyone else just get the “I’m blue, dabadee-dabada” song in their head? No? Maybe I should remind you about that with the following YouTube clip : Read more...

WhiteCoin Original Developers Bail On The Coin After Proof of no PoS in Client Code, Emergency Fix Being Developed

April 27, 2014 By JP Buntinx 4 Comments

Some serious issues arise in the WhiteCoin camp overnight. There is a lot of information out there, part of which is true, part of which isn’t. I’ll tell you what we have confirmed as true from people looking at the right now.

Fact #1 : The WhiteCoin code did not include the part where it would switch over to PoS after block 10,000. Even though the WhiteCoin Multipool was put up on beforehand to make sure the transition was smooth, the code just doesn’t support PoS. Read more...

REMINDER : WhiteCoin PoW Stage Ending In A Few Hours

April 25, 2014 By JP Buntinx Leave a Comment

This is just a general reminder about WhiteCoin’s Proof-of-Work phase ending in the next few hours. For everyone who is still mining WhiteCoin on a regular mining pool, you will need to switch over.

For those of you who want to join the WhiteCoin Multipool, which you can read more about by clicking here, now would be a good time to set up your miners, as we are already mining WhiteCoin on the pool right now.

It will be interesting to see whether or not the ending of WhiteCoin’s Proof-of-Work stage will influence the price on exchanges such as MintPal & Cryptsy. Compared to earlier today, prices are up by as much as 18% already. Read more...

PandaCoin (PND) – Proof-of-Stake or Merged Mining With DogeCoin?

April 25, 2014 By JP Buntinx 4 Comments

In our continuing quest to cover as many of the alternate crypto currencies out there, our journey today will start with PandaCoin. I do mean the PND one, not the PANDA one. That’s not helping is it? Oh well, just read on, you’ll be fine.

Before we go on with this article, I want to tell you a little about the history of PandaCoin, and why exactly it was created. The following are quotes from the official PandaCoin thread on BitcoinTalk :

“This coin was created as a response to the dishonest actions of a cryptocoin market manipulator/scammer “Wolong” who sought to exploit the Chinese market and investors through the use of empty symbolism.” Read more...
