Bitcoin Buzzer News

A February 2018 trial date has been set for a civil trial pitting the SEC against infamous cryptocurrency entrepreneur Homero "Josh" Garza, founder of controversial companies including GAW Miners and ZenMiner.

The update is the latest in a case that stems back to 2015, when the SEC alleges that Garza and GAW operated a Ponzi scheme in which investors were sold fraudulent "cloud mining contracts" with the promise of receiving profit distributions.

Thus far, Garza has refused to answer questions regarding the allegations, preferring to exercise his Fifth Amendment right to non-incrimination. The court has given Garza and his counsel Marjorie Peerce until 7th May to file any motions regarding the direction of the case.

Likewise, the SEC has until 7th August to gather evidence supporting the claims filed against Garza and his companies.

The SEC is now seeking a cease to all cryptocurrency related activities by Garza and his companies, as well as to disgorge profits from the scheme. Both the SEC and Garza will each provide up to 10 depositions for the case, including expert witness testimony regarding the actions of GAW Miners and ZenMiner.

At this point, there is still the possibility that Garza and his attorneys could decide to settle with the SEC outside of US District Court.

Notably, Garza is also a defendant in a separate civil lawsuit brought upon by disgruntled investors but he was recently dismissed, according to documents filed in District Court.

That suit claims Garza and co-defendant, Cantor Fitzgerald investment banker Stuart Fraser bilked investors out of nearly $10m through the cloud mining contract scheme.

A judge has denied a motion by Fraser to dismiss the suit.

TaaS or "Token as a Service" is the first ever tokenized closed-end fund (CEF) that enables its investors to profit from the rise of blockchain businesses.
TaaS was designed to conquer the chances and technical difficulties of investing in the blockchain markets. It was built on a smart contract of profit-sharing relationship; TaaS introduces an innovative Token-as-a-Service business design, enabling investors to subscribe to the income stream of the fund.

In addition to that, TaaS also developed an innovative Cryptographic Audit technology in order to become the first and truly transparent fund committed to crypto currencies as well as tokens.
With the use and employing of the Ethereum blockchain as well as TaaS' very own Cryptographic Audit technology, the firm was co-founded by the well-known Blockchain protagonists namely Konstantin Pysarenko, Dmytro Chupryna, Ruslan Gavrilyuk, and Maksym Muratov.

They are all together working as a team along with other representatives from different places of the world. They have people from the United States of America, China, South Africa Poland, and Ukraine. TaaS have offices in Kiev as well as in San Francisco, which intend to offer a different way to participate in and profit from capital fund management, rising, and crypto currency investing. The use of the ICO funds accumulated will be audited and reviewed by no channel of independent accounting companies and business advisors.

TaaS Cryptographic Audit
The Cryptographic Audit (CA) of TaaS is a set of independent auditing techniques that traces, records and timestamps buying and selling activity. This system of technology was built originally by TaaS to make sure that all profits are properly viewed and recorded, the money movement is transparent, and the business is in possession of all certified funds from investors. It is also said that CA enables any member of the firm to validate all trading history as well as portfolio history.

The TaaS CA founders said that the design is intended to simplify due diligence of investors and provide accessories for maximum transparency. In order to achieve the CA, a certain number of processes will be launched, and those are the following list.

Proof of Reserves
The choice will be given to working exchanges that will show implemented Proof of Solvency; cold storehouse reserves are prepared to be audited such with Kraken and Poloniex.

Accounts on Auditable Exchange
be provided is where each account is used for negotiating on exchanges that will have an API key that is view-only and permits everyone to check as well as verify the trade history of the account and balance.

Proof of Reserves for all the Non-Exchange Accounts
A cold storage that will be used for the funds of the firm is an example of a non-exchange account. According to TaaS, a proof of ownership should be provided here.

Fiat Accounts' Proof of Reserves
Using the TLSNotary or any similar solution is necessary in order to produce a cryptographic proof of command currency in the bank or in exchange accounts.

Regular Blockchain Snapshots
To achieve having a proof that no one overlooks data between the audits, a unique smart contract will be formed to retain the daily blockchain snapshots of audit data.

To begin with, Lunyr is a decentralized crowd sourced encyclopedia which has an Ethereum base and it rewards its users with tokens of apps that can be useful in contributing information and also peer reviewing. Lunyr is a next generation online encyclopedia which has an aim of being the starting point of the internet for finding accurate, reliable and useful information. Basically, Lunyr will just build upon the Wikipedia philosophy and then it will develop knowledge which will be next generation based on the block chain of Ethereum.

In other terms, Lunyr can simply be a knowledge layer of Ethereum which is driven by economic incentives and consensus in order to create or develop next generation applications that are decentralized. The long term vision that Lunyr has is to create an API which is knowledge based of which the developers can use to develop the next generation applications which will be decentralized in Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and also Artificial Intelligence.

The decentralized applications through the Lunyr API will have the capability to grab accurate and precise data on events happening in the real world by tapping into the knowledge base. In life we require information which is something very crucial and currently the most valuable reference site for information is Wikipedia which is used by a lot of people in the world. A lot of articles on Wikipedia can be easily edited by somebody who has an internet connection and in the process one can easily manipulate the Wikipedia website and put false information although some of the errors can be rectified.

Lunyr will create a next generation knowledge base which will be able to solve the issue of inaccurate information and will push the boundaries of crowd sourced knowledge by using Ethereum. Ethereum will enable the creation of application tokens which will be used in a system that is incentive based in order to replace the intermediaries and the tokens will play a vital role in the provision of incentives. Apart from that, all the content submissions will go through a compulsory peer review process and will not be subjected to the knowledge base until they are validated for accuracy, reliability and also efficiency. An incentive system that is powerful which is enabled by application tokens will ensure that the peer reviewers perform best according to the ecosystem interests. This will result to information which is highly reliable and also accurate and there will also be rewards for the contributors and reliable information which will be useful for creating next generation decentralized applications.

Not to forget, the system of providing incentives for reviewing content and contribution by the users is a very nice method in having a hub that has decentralized information which is accurate and reliable and in the process facts that are irrelevant can be discarded with very bad reviews and only real and relevant content will go through by rewarding the good reviews and also good content. Lunyr will also have a site that contains paid advertising spots with the Lunyr tokens which will provide coin appreciation and also a natural buying pressure for actual use.

The Lunyr tokens will basically be used to advertise on the platform and the advertisements will be based on texts. On the other hand, the Ads will create a powerful demand for Lunyr tokens from the people with financial resources. They will provide that economic force which in turn drives network effect as many readers and the contributors will be joining the ecosystem which is very crucial. Lunyr will also implement machine learning mechanisms in order to identify familiar topics for the contributors and by using the contributors as the reviewers, then they will be able to support the entire system because they will be responsible for reviewing content which is submitted by other contributors.

Types of Lunyr tokens:

• Contribution tokens. (CBN)
These will be used as a basis for calculation in order to identify the quantity of Lunyr tokens that will be given to a participant and will be consumed after the Lunyr tokens have been distributed which will be after a two weeks period.

• Honor tokens.(HNR)
These tokens will be used for voting and proposing on the native resolution system for disputes and it will be consumed after it's used.

• Lunyr tokens. (LUN)
These ones will be used to buy advertising posts on the Lunyr network and the contributors will be awarded Lunyr tokens in a period of two weeks.

Therefore, in short the Lunyr platform will basically be designed to align the rational behavior of network participants in order to be beneficial to the entire system. Also, the implementation degree will be in relation to the quantity of the ICO funds and in the case of a minimal amount of crowd funding, Lunyr will come up with basic functions and additional features will be developed in cases like that of maximal cap.

Market

A strategic component of the Lunyr platform is its advertising system, which allows for the purchase of advertising on the platform using Lunyr tokens ("LUN"). Although the Lunyr platform is unique in its design, decentralization, and vision, it can be compared to Wikipedia.

Wikipedia today ranks as the sixth most visited site in the world according to Alexa rankings. It attracts 470 million unique visitors who view over 19 billion pages per month. Estimating the amount of advertising revenue Wikipedia could generate if it allowed advertising on its pages provides clues to the potential demand for LUN:

In 2006, Jason Calcanis, the cofounder of Weblogs, Inc, which was acquired by AOL, published an article about Wikipedia estimating an annual advertising revenue potential of $100MM.
In 2008, BusinessInsider.com performed an analysis of Wikipedia and arrived at an annual advertising revenue potential of $350MM.
In 2011, Vincent Juhel published a thesis about Wikipedia for HEC Paris, and arrived at an annual advertising revenue potential of $1.6 billion dollars.

Vision

We will initially focus on fine-tuning the system to improve accuracy, increase content, and grow readership. Once the knowledge base matures, we will attract a wider audience by encouraging contributions of near real-time data on world events and translations in multiple languages. Ultimately, Lunyr intends to establish its brand globally as a reliable, accurate decentralized knowledge base.

Taking it a step further, we will grow the ecosystem by developing an API that will attract developers. This Lunyr API will allow developers to use the knowledge base as a backbone for creating next generation decentralized applications in Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and more.

Lunyr API
The Lunyr API holds promise for significantly changing existing business models and creating new ones. The Ethereum blockchain currently has no knowledge of the real world, yet most useful applications require real world information. Through the Lunyr API, decentralized applications will be able to tap into the knowledge base and grab accurate data on real world events and information. This leads to immediate benefits for Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality applications.

Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence projects similar to Siri or Amazon Echo are enhanced with the Lunyr API. When users ask fact-based questions, the decentralized application can dig through the Lunyr knowledge base and provide users with reliable, accurate answers.

Virtual Reality
The Lunyr API will enhance the intimate and visceral experience of interactive virtual worlds. Imagine putting on a virtual reality headset that lets you experience walking on the surface of Mars. As you walk along the cold, red-dusted ground, information about key landmarks and giant dust storms appear. All of this information is drawn from the knowledge base.

Augmented Reality
The Lunyr API can be the foundation for learning-based applications in Augmented Reality. Imagine you are at the beach on a sunny day and you see beautiful flowers by the seashore. You want to know what they are so you put on augmented reality glasses, which will identify the flowers, tap into the knowledge base, and give you all the information you need to satisfy your curiosity.

Many people are interested in looking for people who match their interests. Matchpool is there to help out such people fulfill their interests by meeting individuals who make a match with them. Matchpool is a site that offers a platform for human connections. The matchmaking protocol it uses is decentralized and uses dynamics of a group to help those who participate in it, match with one another. It can be used for various cases like dating, education, leisure, lifestyle, businesses, membership clubs, recruitment or for health purposes. If anybody is interested in any of these areas and does not find an existing pool that interests him/her, they can create a pool of their own which can be joined by other participants interested in it, hence making a match.

A lot of dating applications have been developed, but only few have survived. They get few or no people have downloaded and are using the app. Since they do not have a matchlock, the number of male might be high by far compared to that of female, who have joined the dating application. This discourages the users since they don't have a wide selection of female to choose from. Matchpool has a matchlock that prevents the number of big difference between the number of female and male users; the pool owner has the power to put the matchlock in his/her pool if necessary.

In this matchpool, there are rewards that are available. Any person is allowed to open and manage their own pool, and the person now becomes a pool owner. He/she can set his/her own rules and terms for the pool; they will then be rewarded once they create any matches inside the pool.

Matchpool, is the first mainstream matchmaking platform which is powered by a token (guppy) economy of cryptographic. Guppies can be bought or even sold with real money. The trusted algorithm of Matchpool automatically rewards users across the platform.

Matchpool Crowdsale

Matchpool users will divide into two catagories – Joiners & Hosts.
Joiners who wishes to enter a pool of their choice, will have to pay the pool's requisite entry fee, which will be defined at the creation of that Pool by the Pool's Host. In addition to this one-time registration fee, a monthly membership fee will be paid to the Pool. All payments will be held in an Ether based smart contract and will be processed using Matchpool's network own token Guppies (GUP). While in the Pool, nature will take its course and all members would be able to interact publicly on private channels in a way resembling Slack's interface. On the other side, users can also play the role of Hosts and Matchmakers.

The host will be the one who opens a custom Pool and gets dividends from its revenues. Matchmakers or Helpers as they are defined in the system can propose matches between two other joiners who they believe would be good partners. Those two joiners are then notified and in case they both accept, the event is added to their public notebook, and the Matchmaker get rewarded.

Matchpool - The future of dating

Both the Host of the pool and its matchmakers are entitled for shares of the Pools subscription and monthly fees, paid with GUP. Matchpool first 200,000 Users will get rewarded with GUPs upon registration enabling them to make their first steps in the platform.

Dapplets

Dapplets are another way Matchpool users can get rewarded. These are basically add-ons created by developers who want add to the Matchpool protocol. In practice, Dapplets work similar to Slack plugins but can enhance the experience in a number of ways. One example would be a Dapplet, which implements "Tinder" functionality: users can swipe through other users. If one of their apps creates a match of some kind for example: if a "Blind Date" game creates a real match, then the Dapplet developers are rewarded similarly to Matchmakers.

Issuance & Distribution

First of all pumps and dumps are illegal in the market hence you as a Bitcoin user should not expect deferral agencies to protect you. This brief overview looks into how Bitcoin pumps and dumps work and how you can make money of it but remember that is very risky.

Patterns

Bitcoin pump and dumps work in a very simple yet straightforward manner. Pump and Dump schemes comprise of two groups of people. The first group is players who play by artificially increasing the price of the Bitcoin by endorsing or promoting it. This category of individuals spends their time finding cheap coins to purchase then wait for when they are ready for dumping and build a buzz about the coins. The process of finding and buying cheap coins can take as quick as minutes or as long as hours or even days.

The people selling buzz creating momentum for the coins leading to an increase in trading volume as the value of the coins gradually increase. One interesting aspect of the process is that you are both the pump as well as the dumper. When the coins hit the price, you desire you can sell your coins. Some people tend to panic sell and end up dumping their coins for purchase returning the price of the coins to average. The most important step is to distinguish a coin that is being primed for a dump from one that is being primed for a pump. The pump and bump process creates buying patterns whereby as the price goes up and down each time a player buys thereby loading up on the cheap coins.

When players purchase coins, they tend to engage in the forums and chat boxes to share with others the coin of their choice. These players will regularly use multiple accounts and other players usually help them in making it look more real. This leads to the coin being talked up creating a buzz causing people to get interested and purchase the coins- ultimately creating the pumping process. When people start to buy in huge numbers, the price goes up fueling the buzz even further.

When the coin hits the high point player begin to sell off their coins in portions leading to the creation of a dumping phase. Te dumping phase can take second or even hours. In the initial stages of the dumping process, players sell only a small amount of coins very fast without dragging the price down until they run out. When the coin is flat, panic sells arise causing the dumping process since the price is no longer increasing yet the volume is low hence sell orders are no longer getting filled. Typically, panic sellers sell below the standard market value leading to a fall in the value of the coins.

A wise player spots a coin that is in the process of being prepped for the pump and dump then purchases cheap coins to ensure they have a significant volume enabling them to make decent profits easy and straightforward. As long as the Bitcoin is in the early stages of being pumped you have the opportunity to make money even though your risk may be higher.

You can also pay particular people to tip you off on the next coin that is about to be pumped and dumped.
