#1 Source For Bitcoin And Altcoin News
Over the past 6 months or so, an interesting trend has emerged in the world of BItcoin and cryptocurrency. Several companies are currently working on providing the digital currency community with debit cards, which can in turn be loaded and reloaded with Bitcoin. If these efforts would prove to be successful, it would be a big step for bringing Bitcoin to the masses, as you would be able to spend cryptocurrency in any store accepting debit card payments.
Even though Christmas is officially over, and the unwrapping of gifts took place two days ago at my house, big was my surprise when I found a gift in the mail today. Or, not a gift per se, as it was a physical item from a project I backed on the StartJOIN platform half a year ago, and completely forgot about. However, that doesn’t make the 1 oz .999 Fine Silver Physical Vericoin any less special!
Many among us have given cryptocurrency-related Christmas gifts to friends, family and loved ones. While paper wallets and mobile applications are a great way to “carry” your digital currency with you, they are not the most secure places to store monetary value. Luckily for us, there are several types of cold storage available. One of these options comes in the form of CryptoVault.
CryptoVault is currently looking for backers to support their crowdfunding campaign on the StartJOIN platform.The team hopes to raise at least US$5,000 by December 31st, which should not be too much of a problem you would think. Oddly enough, this campaign has been running since November 15th, and there are only 7 backers so far. This article will hopefully change that.
For those among you who are keen to invest in sound money will not be disappointed by the “Maxcoin Silver Cryptobullion” Where others have tried and failed, Maxcoin has delivered. By means of crowdfunding they’ve gathered more than enough funds to create the “Maxcoin Silver Cryptobullion “.
The “Maxcoin Silver Cryptobullion” is a one ounce 999 fine silver round which combines absolute ownership with zero counterparty risk. Cryptobullion also allows investors to be active both on the crypto currency market as well as the precious metals market.
Several things have been going on with Sterlingcoin lately, so it’s time we take a look at what they have been up to. Considering this altcoin is one month old now, they have come a long way, and more great things are coming by the looks of it!
First of all, CNET, which once used to be an incredibly popular site for downloading software, has approved both the Macintosh and Windows version of the SLG client. Sterlingcoin download links on CNET can be found here.
As you may recall, we did a StartCOIN article once, which you can find here. Ever since that article, there wasn’t much news regarding this digital currency. Recently, StartCOIN 2.0 was released , so let’s see what has changed.
The reason why StartCOIN 2.0 was launched, is because there were technical difficulties with the original StartCOIN blockchain. These difficulties would lead to transactions being temporarily stuck rather often.
The reason for these issues were migrant multipools, mining pools with a lot of hashpower which raised the difficulty immensely. As a result, the network was unable to mine subsequent blocks due to insufficient power, and thus transactions wouldn’t get verified/confirmed by the network.
1: What are the current ongoing plans for the evolving development and implementation of URO?
a. NURO: Mobile wallet for all platforms (iOS, Android, Windows Phone, etc…) made with Intel XDK and BlockCypher. First screenshots were shown about two weeks ago.
By the looks of it, there seem to be more and more people getting interested in Uro. Not for the wrong reasons either, might I add. One of the Prypto Resellers has launched a StartJoin campaign to get 1000 Prypto Uro Scratch Cards made. Let’s take a look.
For those of you who are unaware of what Prypto does, this is an Ireland based company creating Crypto Scratch Cards. These cards come with a pre-loaded amount of digital currency, for example BItcoin, DogeCoin and , if all goes to plan, Uro.
So there appears to be a lot of controversy going on about URO these past few days. Even though this digital currency has always been scrutinized very closely, no actual harm came from it. Something must have changed, so let’s look at it together, shall we?
I do understand the concept of URO is extremely difficult to grasp for nearly everyone out there. The part we all understand is how 1 URO equals 1 metric tonne of Urea (fertilizer used for 50% of the world’s food production). But who really understands the concept besides what URO represents, and how much the coin is actually worth?
The very popular Vericoin is looking for backers for their next new project: Silver 0.999 oz coin. Yes, these coins are real silver coins, and all you need to do to get one for your own is becoming a backer for fifty dollars.
On their StartJoin crowdfunding page they tell us that: “This StartJoin campaign is for the Production of 1 oz .999 Fine Silver Physical Vericoins. This is a Vericoin Project and a portion off all proceeds will be donated to the VeriFund. “
Waking up to some pleasant surprises is always a good thing when you’re a Crypto enthusiast. Sometimes though, you just never know quite what to make of certain things. Take StartCoin for example, a coin that was launched and hit MCXNow instantly.
Allow me to start off this article by saying that I do believe StartCoin i the new Crypto backed by Max Keiser. He announced that a new coin with his “support” would be launched soon, and I have a gut feeling this is the one he was talking about.
It appears as if sporting event fundraisers are being looked at by multiple crypto currencies these days. Last week, we reported on DogeCoin supporting a race car and an MMA fighter, and this week, it seems like MaxCoin wants to have their own race car as well.
By saying the above, I do mean a completely MaxCoin sponsored race car, under the name of MaxCoin Racing Team, which would be running in the 2014 Pro Mazda Championship.
Should you wish to become a sponsor of MaxCoin Racing Team, you are entitled to rewards such as t-shirts, hats, artwork, VIP Hospitality tickets, and more, depending on how much you are sponsoring for.
