World leaders have condemned the attack and offered their deepest sympathies to the UK and all the victims. United States President Donald Trump has chosen to take this opportunity to call for the internet to be "cut off."

Earlier this year, QUOINE launched Qryptos, a new cryptocurrency trading platform. Qryptos is a very peculiar exchange which supports many different cryptocurrencies. The platform specializes in listing new coins at negative trading fees to generate initial liquidity. Negative fees are rather uncommon in the world of cryptocurrency exchanges. Qryptos Provides Liquidity in a Different Way Although Qryptos was officially announced in June of this year, very few people have paid attention to this platform so far. That is rather remarkable, especially considering how this fully digital, crypto-only platform is doing things very differently. When the exchange adds a new currency to trade, it will
Various countries around the world are exploring the option of creating national digital currencies. A digital version of the US dollar or euro, for example, would be rather interesting to see. However, a central bank-issued digital currency is not all that easy to create. There are specific technical requirements to take into account. In fact, such currencies may not even warrant the use of a blockchain or distributed ledger technology (DLT). Central Bank-Issued Digital Currency Requirements A central bank-issued national digital currency is nothing like cryptocurrencies we know today. Unlike Bitcoin and altcoins, a national digital currency comes with a high degree

They provide quicker transactions, validate blocks, and improve the overall health of the ecosystem. However, it is not always feasible with computational and data limitations. A service called QuickNode has realized this and the project aims to empower users to set up their own Ethereum node. The Benefits of Running an Ethereum Node Through QuikNode There are a few reasons to run an Ethereum node with QuikNode. As their name suggests, setting up the node is incredibly quick and
The German government takes cyber surveillance a lot more serious than other European countries. They even opened a new cyber surveillance agency earlier this week. The offices are based in Munich and the agency will focus on cyber crime and digital espionage. As is to be expected, this also means increased snooping on telecommunication, data encryption, and mass collecting even more data than before. The ZITiS Cyber Surveillance Agency Should be Criticized Not too long ago, we mentioned how German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere was conducting a new facial recognition technology trial. That initiative was met with a lot of
The news industry has come a long way. One of the first known media outlets was ancient Rome’s renowned Forum which hosted a special table giving citizens insights into the latest Senate decrees and news from around the nation. More recently, news outlets have gradually become parts of enormous media corporations. Even with the advent of the Internet, the situation did not experience any dramatic changes. The most renowned and popular newspapers like The New York Times are still controlled by big companies. The situation is even worse in countries where freedom of speech enjoys less protections than here in the United States.
Some big changes are afoot in the domain registrar industry. With registrars being able to shut sites down due to piracy concerns, some people have been looking for ways to prevent this from happening.

Njalla is an Intriguing Project One thing most people do not like about registering domain names is how it can expose their personal information. Even with WhoisGuard active, users must still provide their identities to the registrar.

Right now, the NEO price is hovering around $19.75, even though it hit $23 a few hours ago. NEO Price Rebounds But Remains Volatile For anyone who has NEO as part of their cryptocurrency portfolio, the past two and a half weeks have been rather eventful.
The success of Bitcoin, a popular cryptocurrency, may have encouraged the central bank to consider its own cryptocurrency since it is not comfortable ...
Everyone will agree yesterday was one of the wildest and most fun days in all of cryptocurrency. It doesn’t happen all that often the Bitcoin price drops sharply and recovers a lot of lost value in the same day. Things were looking pretty bleak about 24 hours ago, but right now, the Bitcoin price is back at $3,750. Whether or not this is a permanent bounce, remains to be seen. Bitcoin Price Crashes and Bounces Back With the main Chinese cryptocurrency exchanges suspending trading immediately or in the near future, there was a lot of panic in the Bitcoin market.
