Make CPU Mining Great Again — Official MinerGate Blog

by MinerGate Mining Pool February, 15, 2020 Monero (XMR) has successfully hardforked on November 30th, at block number 1978433. The fork has changed the CryptoNightR mining algorithm to the new RandomX Proof-of-Work algorithm. Although the main aim of the upgrade was keeping Monero completely resistant to ASIC mining, thus maintaining the coin decentralized, RandomX has essentially moved XMR mining to CPU, which is no less important. What is the hard fork about? Being one of the top cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, Monero for sure is one of the most popular coins at the moment, not least...

US Court Freezes Assets Linked to Alleged $9M ICO Scam

A federal court has frozen all funds raised in a $9 million token sale the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has accused of being fraudulent. In a filing earlier this month, the U.S. District Court sitting in Austin, Texas, froze the assets of the individuals and entities believed to have received funds from the Meta 1 Coin initial coin offering (ICO). The court agreed with the SEC that the “Warner relief defendants” — Wanda Ironheart Traversie-Warner (“Traversie”), Alfred Dewitt Warner Jr. (“Warner”) and Ironheart Trust (“Ironheart”) — would try to “dissipate, conceal or transfer assets,” including by sending them offshore, unless the assets were frozen. The ruling, dated May 14, encompasses all the fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies linked to the Meta 1 Coin sale. The Warner r...

First Mover: Chainlink ‘Marines’ Are HODLing and Here’s Why You Should Care

Bitcoin is so speculative and volatile that it doesn’t deserve to be considered an asset class, according to Goldman Sachs. Diving deeper into the realm of the more than 5,000 cryptocurrencies in existence, things get even more speculative – with traders often jumping on fast-moving and thinly traded tokens for a quick profit and then quickly moving on to the next hot trade. That’s why it’s so notable that holders of one token, Chainlink (LINK), appear to be in it for the long term. You’re reading First Mover, CoinDesk’s daily markets newsletter. Assembled by the CoinDesk Markets Team, First Mover starts your day with the most up-to-date sentiment around crypto markets, which of course never close, putting in context every wild swing in bitcoin and more.

Bitcoin Transaction Fees Decline as Network Congestion Eases

After facing a heavy load of transactions earlier this month, bitcoin’s (BTC) network has returned to a more normal level, recent developments suggest. The total amount of fees paid to miners was 80 BTC as of Tuesday, down from its 11-month high of 201 BTC on May 21, according to the data provided by the blockchain intelligence firm Glassnode. It was at 57 BTC on May 3. The percentage of miner revenue from fees has also pulled back to 9.4% from the 28-month high of 21% registered on May 20. “The fall back in transaction fees are related to a normalized transaction activity and recent mining difficulty adjustment, which occurs around every two weeks,” said Wayne Chen, CEO of Interlapse Technologies and founder of virtual currency platform Coincurve.

‘Focus on Retirement’: Crypto Custodian Rolls Out Hybrid IRA Offering

Digital asset custodian Kingdom Trust is offering investors a single retirement account for traditional and digital assets. Called Choice, the South Dakota-based custodian is offering a self-service retirement platform where investors can buy, sell or hold stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and digital assets in one tax-advantaged account, said Kingdom Trust CEO Ryan Radloff. Currently, fewer than 1% of the 100,000 retirement accounts for which Kingdom Trust provides custody have any digital assets as part of their portfolios. “Basically it’s a self-directed IRA with a web interface and mobile app to go back and forth between legacy and digital assets,” Radloff said. Kingdom Trust built connections to crypto exchange Kraken to access digital assets and legacy brokers for traditional as...
