Greenpeace Ramps Up Smear Campaign Against Bitcoin – That’s What’s Behind It

By Leave a Comment

With a new tweet, Greenpeace USA continues its smear campaign against Bitcoin and Proof of Work. Just this March, the environmental organisation caused a stir in the Bitcoin space when it teamed up with other climate groups to launch the “Change the Code, Not The Climate” campaign. Remarkably, Ripple co-founder Larsen also provided $ 5 million in funding.

In today’s tweet, Greenpeace claims Bitcoin mining is causing millions of tons of new global warming in the United States. At the same time, it says, it’s a myth that using methane gas that would otherwise leak out can make Bitcoin mining green.  Read more...

New Cryptojacking Campaign Infects Asia Using More Profitable Tactics

By Leave a Comment

cryptojack asia report.jpg

Cryptojacking — the process of infecting computers with malware to mine cryptocurrency — has declined alongside prices during cryptowinter. But like any dextrous organism facing extinction, the virus and its propagators are adapting.

According to a report by cybersecurity analytics firm Symantec, cryptojacking incidents have plummeted 52 percent since January 2018, but the method of delivery, the execution and the targeting schemes have grown more sophisticated.

Specifically, Symantec’s latest report focused on Beapy, a cryptojacking campaign sweeping through Asia by taking specific aim at business and enterprise. Using a software exploit called EternalBlue, which was developed by the United States’ own NSA, the virus is spread via email. Symantec first tuned into the growing threat in January of this year.  Read more...

Pointless Crowdfunding Campaign Seeks to Identify Satoshi Nakamoto

By Leave a Comment

One of the bigger mysteries in the cryptocurrency world is the matter of who Satoshi Nakamoto is. The infamous creator of Bitcoin and blockchain, Nakamoto is still an unknown individual or group to the rest of the world. A new campaign on Russia’s Boomstarter aims to collect capital to reveal Nakamoto’s identity once and for all.

Another Pointless Search

Although it is intriguing, the Satoshi Nakamoto identity mystery is not a pressing issue. It would be nice to know who is behind Bitcoin and blockchain technology, but it seems highly unlikely their identity will ever be revealed. Nor should it really, as it will not change the current shape and direction of Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.  Read more...
