Users looking to stream free content via Amazon’s Android-supporting TV and Fire sticks might find they are inadvertently opening up their connection to a crypto mining bot. Cryptojacking, the term used to describe the method of hijacking a device and using the computing power to discreetly mine cryptocurrency, is becoming more and more popular. Open-source software such as Android is a prime target for such hackers. It’s becoming common nowadays for Amazon TV and Fire sticks to be sold with pre-installed streaming software such as Kodi, which requires enabling ADB debugging – a developer option not meant for use by average users. Once enabled, the option opens port 5555 which the botnet ADB.miner uses to install its malware. Once infected, a device will use system resources such a CPU and GPU power to mine for the Monero (XMR) cryptocurrency. The mined Monero is then transferred to a digital wallet owned by the hacker. A search engine that discovers internet-connected devices that are easily accessible found that there are currently 17,000 devices worldwide that are potentially vulnerable. Research by Palo Alto Network’s Unit 42 estimates that around five percent of Monero in circulation has been mined in this way, equaling a total of approximately $143 million worth of stolen cryptocurrency. Due to the research not taking into account Web-based malware miners, the researchers admit that the real figure could be much higher. Monero is popular amongst cryptojackers due to the additional privacy and anonymity it provides that other coins such as Bitcoin, do not. The infection is not limited to Amazon devices – any product with ADB debugging enabled could potentially be infected, including mobile phones and tablets. If streaming or browsing on your Android device has become unusually slow of late, it’s possible you are providing some unscrupulous hacker with free Monero. Users who are concerned that they may be infected can use the Total Commander app to check for the presence of an app called ‘Test’ on their Amazon Fire or TV stick.

The EU Blockchain Observatory and Forum will be hosting an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on the subject of Blockchain and Cryptocurrency, at 6PM (CEST) on June 18th.
The organisation will devote 90 minutes to discussing and answering some of the most important issues within the digital space. Subjects included in the Observatories agenda are: What are blockchain technologies? What are they used for? Let’s ask the hard questions What to expect in the years ahead? Launched in February this year, the EU Blockchain Observatory and Forum is part of an EU-wide effort to accelerate the development of the European blockchain ecosystem. It was Established by the European Commission and Parliament as part of an initiative to invest €340 million into blockchain technology by 2020. The formation of the Observatory comes as an interesting, albeit quiet development from one of the world’s largest trading blocs and markets. Despite increasing negative sentiment within the speculative markets of cryptocurrency, industry investment and confidence seems to be growing. The AMA will provide a unique and important insight into the direction of the EU and blockchain technology, and will help to inform investors and market makers of the legislative direction that the bloc will take. The public can ask questions through Twitter, by using the @EUBlockchain handle and hashtag #AMAblockchain. There will also be a YouTube livestream of the event.

Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by daily volume, is preparing to allow trade across fiat currency pairs for the first time. Bloomberg has reported that Zhao Changpeng, Binance’s Chief Executive Officer, confirmed that the Euro will be the first fiat currency supported, with more added at a later date. It is understood that this is directly related to the relocation of Binance’s main operations to Malta just months ago. Currently, Binance only supports trade of digital currencies – opting for stablecoins Tether (USDT) and (TUSD) as stand-ins for government issued currencies. The confidence shown by Zhao relating to the imminent offering of fiat-pairs implies that Binance may be close to securing backing of one or more international financial institutions. No specifics were revealed, but Zhao did hint that talks with regulators and financial institutions in Taiwan had commenced. The offering of a Euro onramp into cryptocurrencies could be just the thing to keep up the momentus growth enjoyed by Binance in the last year. Just this week, it was reported that the exchange supports more than 9 million users. In January, it had just over 2 million. The rapidly increasing user base hasn’t done much for profits though, which fell from US200 million in Q4 of last year to $US150 million in Q1 of this year. The fall hasn’t stopped Binance from re-investing in the blockchain though, at the start of June it was announced they would be launching a US$1 billion venture capital fund to support cryptocurrency and blockchain development.

In an incredibly exciting development for Stellar Lumen’s holders and cryptocurrency supporters, Stronghold – an exchange utilising the Stellar network’s inbuilt decentralised exchange mechanism and protocol – is launching the networks first USD anchor. Uncovered by members of the Reddit community, and hinted at by the company, a USD anchor can clearly be seen on Stellarterm. Stronhold’s hint, on 8th May
Unlike stablecoin swap mechanisms such as Tether, real USD will be deposited or withdrawn through the anchor, and then digitised and exchanged for any digital asset on a platform built upon the Stellar protocol’s decentralised exchange (DEX). Furthermore, because of the vastly reduced operation costs of transactions on the network (currently 1 XLM powers roughly 100,000 transactions), the USD anchor will provide a much cheaper mode of exchange than current market options. Stronghold has long been a supporter of Lumen’s (XLM) and the Stellar protocol, and have been involved with the founders since 2014. After initially launching a USD anchor in 2014, the company decided to close that particular functionality due to general lack of interest from the space. However, their expertise and experience within the field have clearly paid off, as they will (again) be the first to launch a fiat anchor onto the network. A complaint often levelled against both centralised and decentralised exchanges is that funds can still be hard to deposit and withdraw, and can attract large fees in doing so. Coinbases’ dominance as arguably the main gateway to the cryptocurrency space is mostly attributed to its user-friendly interface and easy deposit mechanism. High fees and delays are often a complaint. The 7th most valuable cryptocurrency having a direct fiat on-and-off ramp will certainly be a game-changer, and may go some way towards decoupling its native asset and network from Bitcoin’s volatility. Whether this news will attract new speculators to Stronghold’s DEX is another matter. However – with foundation’s announcement of its own SDEX being launched in July and receiving a professional-grade trading platform makeover, to rival the UI and functionality of Binance, and almost daily news of projects built on Stellar – it seems that this particular protocol and digital currency will continue going from strength to strength.

Following last months speculation regarding the potential sale of BitTorrent to cryptocurrency giant Tron, it appears the deal has now been formally completed. Staff who had been notified about the deal were asked not to say anything but word got out to local news sources. Rumors about the deal have been circulating since late last year when Tron founder Justin Sun entered into discussions with BitTorrent. Some minor legal issues followed and the acquisition was delayed for a time. Then, when Sun registered a company called Rainberry Acquisition earlier this year, rumors reignited. This was due to the fact that BitTorrent rebranded their corporate identity to Rainberry, Inc early last year. Now, on the same day last week, both companies have filed for a change of status due to a merger. How Sun plans to integrate BitTorrent into the Tron network is still unclear, but the peer-to-peer file sharing technology fits very neatly into Tron’s plans to ‘decentralize the web’. Considering the level of privacy surrounding the acquisition, it may be awhile before we hear anything. No word has been made yet by Justin Sun or any employees of Tron. The BitTorrent acquisition comes included with a patent for ‘P2P live streaming’, which, when coupled with its 100 million strong network of users, make it a very lucrative purchase for the Tron Foundation. With its upcoming MainNet migration on June 26th, we could be seeing big things from Tron in the near future.

Designed to “make transactions as simple and convenient as possible,” the project was described by IOTA co-founder David Sønstebø as “a great demonstration of the Foundation and the community coming together” to “test, iterate and release this amazing piece of software.” Although the initial responses from the community were glowing, with one early tester describing the wallet as “gorgeous and incredibly well made,” beta testing has thrown up some issues which need to be ironed out before Trinity’s full release. Charlie Varley, a developer for the IOTA foundation, posted an update last night to keep the community informed on Trinity’s progress. The highest priority has been addressing what Varley describes as “a number of minor security/privacy concerns.” These include the “ability to screenshot seeds,” the “failure to hide seeds from the app thumbnail when minimise,” and an inability to hide your IOTA balance “when displaying the QR code on the Receive page.” These issues have all now been resolved. Some testers have also reported problems with the mobile app’s memory suddenly resetting. This phenomenon seems limited to the use of Field donation seeds on Android devices. According to Varley the problem comes from the “fixed maximum database entry size on Android,” which is then exceeded by “the large bundles for Field payouts.” This has been resolved too. There has also been an extension of QR scan functionality, which is now available for “seed re-entry page during setup.” The option to share QR codes has also been added. For the desktop version of the app the main development work has been on fixing bugs and ensuring correct syncing with mobile. Trinity Desktop now has offers more features than Trinity Mobile, including what Varley describes as “a comprehensive transaction history search and filter function” and a guide to making a strong password. Prior to Trinity’s release David Sønstebø said that though he was “open to changing my opinion” he challenged “every project out there to show me a better, more user friendly and secure wallet”. With these latest changes it seems that Trinity is on the way to achieving his vision.

On Monday (PT), host of CNBC Africa’s Crypto Trader and founder of OnChain Capital, Ran Neu-Ner, appeared on popular CNBC business program Fast Money to provide insight on the recent sell-off experienced in the cryptocurrency market; totalling some $US50 billion across just over thirty hours. Bitcoin Bears Thriving on Low VolumeAccording to Neu-Ner, the weekend’s BTC price action is nothing but a continuation of the bearish sentiment that’s controlled the cryptocurrency market for basically all of 2018. Having failed to garner support at ~$6,800 – and then ~$6,650 – in recent days, Neu-Ner warned investors to monitor the key support level of ~$6,250. Should the Bitcoin price fail to find support here, the next point to watch is ~$5,900. What if BTC Falls Below Mining Costs?On the BTC price range where the cost of Bitcoin mining starts looking commercially unviable, Neu-Ner stated:
Of course, there remains debate over whether such a range is even influential, as pointed out by panel member Timothy Seymour, given that real-world demand for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies has not yet been established relative to commodities like gold and copper, for example. Adding Context to Coinrail HackAlthough many attributed the crypto market’s ~$50 billion slump to the weekend’s ~$40 million hack launched upon South Korean crypto exchange, Coinrail, Neu-Ner argued that reaching such a conclusion was too big a stretch.
Whilst admitting to troublesome “flaws in the crypto infrastructure,” the CNBC Africa presenter added that this shouldn’t come as a surprise given the infancy of the cryptocurrency market; one that is valued at just ~$300 billion. Crypto Profiteers Should “Probably Get Out”Fast Money host Melissa Lee asked Neu-Ner if there were any circumstances where he’d advise Bitcoin HODLers to sell, given even he is expecting the BTC price to keep falling. “If you believe in distributed ledger technology (DLT) – in the blockchain – [and] in the effect that it’s going to have [on] every single industry in the world,” Neu-Ner responded, “now is a great time to buy.” Playing devil’s advocate, Lee countered by arguing that Bitcoin and DLT enthusiasts are eternally suggesting it’s “a good time to buy,” when clearly this advice has been repeatedly disproven throughout 2018. Responding, Neu-Ner took to qualifying his earlier statement; emphasizing that “now is a great time to buy if you believe in the long-term [potential] of blockchain.” In this sense, he suggests that it’ll be of trivial importance whether a Bitcoin investor buys in at a BTC spot rate of $6,000 or $8,000 should prices escalate deep into five-figure totals over the upcoming years. However, for short-term investors and day traders, Neu-Ner foresees “better opportunities to buy in” later in June; reinforcing his belief that BTC will continue its downward trend toward $6,000.

Coinrail theft send vapor-coin prices tumblingA weekend breach and theft at a Korean digital currency exchange is being blamed for a drop in the price of Bitcoin. Coinrail confirmed on Saturday that it had been the victim of a hack and as a result coins were lifted from its systems.
The value of the lost coins (nine different cryptocurrencies in total) is estimated to currently be around $30m. Coinrail, who says it has only accounted for around 70 per cent of its coins/reserves at this point, is also suspending service and moving all of its stored coins to an offline cold wallet while it investigates the incident. One of the breached currencies was tokens from Pundi X, a payments company that says it is now working with both Coinrail and South Korean law enforcement to investigate the breach. "Since the amount of NPXS token is equal to 3 per cent of our current supply, which could potentially affect the interests of all parties, we instigated an emergency security protocol to halt ALL the NPXS transactions at 11:16 am Singapore time (GMT+8) to protect NPXS holders and help Coinrail and Korean law enforcement to investigate the incident," the Pundix team explained. Stop us if you've heard this one before: Tokyo crypto-cash exchange 'hacked' for half a billion bucksREAD MOREFallout from the breach was felt throughout the cryptocurrency sector. While they were not directly involved in the attack, both Ethereum and Bitcoin saw their market values plunge by around 10 per cent following the disclosure of the Coinrail hack. As of Monday morning according to Coindesk, Bitcoin was down from its Friday price of $7,600 to roughly $6,700, while Ethereum fell from a Friday price of $607 to around $518. Also on Friday, the Wall Street Journal reported that "several" US cryptocurrency exchanges have been asked to hand over data to an insider trading from the US Commidity Futures Trading Commission. The request is said to be part of a larger DOJ probe into allegations of price manipulation in cryptocurrency trades.® Sponsored: Minds Mastering Machines - Call for papers now open Partner By desimpul.blogspot.com The materials on Desimpul's website are provided on an 'as is' basis.

Crypto exchange Binance announced plans to allow fiat-crypto trading this year through a separate Malta-based exchange, a Binance representative told Cointelegraph today, June 11. Binance is currently the second largest cryptocurrency exchange by 24-hour trading volume, seeing about $1.5 bln in trades on the day to press time. While Bloomberg reported today that Binance will “soon allow customers to convert digital tokens into fiat currencies”, a Binance representative clarified to Cointelegraph that “Binance.com is a pure crypto-to-crypto exchange.” They confirmed that crypto-fiat trading will only be offered through a separate local exchange the company is opening in Malta. Binance Malta will most likely begin fiat trading with a euro-Bitcoin (BTC) pair, the representative told Cointelegraph. Binance had announced the opening of an office in Malta at the end of March after receiving a warning letter from Japanese financial authorities about its unregistered status. Last week, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao told Cointelegraph in an exclusive interview that the exchange has already opened a bank account in Malta, leading the way for the introduction of fiat-crypto pairs. During the interview, Zhao mentioned plans to offer fiat-crypto trading in Uganda and Asia in the future as well. Zhao told Bloomberg today that Binance will also be opening a crypto exchange in Jersey in the Channel Islands with an office staff of around 100, signing a memorandum of understanding with authorities in Jersey today. At the beginning of June, Binance had announced the establishment of a $1 bln cryptocurrency-based fund, seeking 20 partners with at least $100 mln in assets under management.

"Since the amount of NPXS token is equal to 3 per cent of our current supply, which could potentially affect the interests of all parties, we instigated an emergency security protocol to halt ALL the NPXS transactions at 11:16 am Singapore time (GMT+8) to protect NPXS holders and help Coinrail and Korean law enforcement to investigate the incident," the Pundix team explained.

While they were not directly involved in the attack, both Ethereum and Bitcoin saw their market values plunge by around 10 per cent following the disclosure of the Coinrail hack. As of Monday morning according to Coindesk, Bitcoin was down from its Friday price of $7,600 to roughly $6,700, while Ethereum fell from a Friday price of $607 to around $518. Also on Friday, the Wall Street Journal reported that "several" US cryptocurrency exchanges have been asked to hand over data to an insider trading from the US Commidity Futures Trading Commission. The request is said to be part of a larger DOJ probe into allegations of price manipulation in cryptocurrency trades.® Sponsored: Minds Mastering Machines - Call for papers now open Partner By desimpul.blogspot.com The materials on Desimpul's website are provided on an 'as is' basis.
