Story - Multi Signature Wallets Coming To Monero
https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/2134
Yesterday, on the Monero GitHub, pull request 2134 entitled Multisig was merged by the one and only fluffypony.
Now this has been merged into the Monero codebase it can be integrated into the next core wallet release and Monero wallet developers can begin building truly private multisig wallets.
Someone on Reddit was campaigning to get Monero integrated into OpenBazaar as a result of this.
That is because multisig now allows you to do private payments but with with an escrow, in case you need a mediator to come in and resolve a disputed transaction.
I think the success of Monero is one of the most interesting phenomena because their marketing is pretty much to develop the protocol and then when something cool gets built, people like me talk about it.
So I suppose you could say they end up getting free advertising on merit.
I said recently I have been eagerly awaiting Monero support for the Ledger Nano S, well did you know that the Monero community have already crowdfunded a Monero hardware wallet
https://forum.getmonero.org/9/work-in-progress/88149/dedicated-monero-hardware-wallet
This fundraiser is on their forum and was originally posted 3 months ago.
In the meantime though, I have accepted the risk of using the MyMonero.com web wallet.
So far it’s working OK but I can’t recommend it to anyone in case there is a security issue with it and you lose your money.
That’s why I said I am accepting the risks of doing this.
Story - BitPay To Launch Bitcoin Cash Support
https://blog.bitpay.com/multiple-blockchains/
I actually Tweeted this out as soon as I heard about it.
In that Tweet I basically referred back to my recent comments that businesses will not wait for Bitcoin to scale.
This is because they want to bring the benefits of cryptocurrencies to their users now and whichever technology offers that will get used.
This is why I keep banging on about the user experience. This is how it works in the free market.
Users have all the power, they are the ones that demand the solutions to their problems.
The entrepreneurs job is to find solutions to those problems, and then transfer them to the users.
Because the entrepreneurs are all competing with each other to provide the most effective solutions possible and gain the most market share, they’ll be constantly on the lookout for better solutions to their customers problems in order to get an edge on the competition.
And this announcement from bitpay is an example of a trend I think we are going to see continue for the reasons I’ve outlined.
So BitPay in this blog say…
[red]
So this doesn’t mean Bitcoin is going to go away. It just means Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash offer different features which will suit different use cases.
[orange]
So this is people actually buying stuff. We know that because BitPay is a checkout system for merchants that allows people to pay with Bitcoin.

Story - CME Bitcoin Futures Launch With Little Fanfare
http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/equity-index/us-index/bitcoin.html
If you tuned into my live stream last night you will have been there for the launch but for everyone else the CME Bitcoin Futures product has now begun to trade.
Nothing much happened at the opening, and many people in the live stream chat suggested that the optimism about the launch was already priced into Bitcoin from last week's run up.
I think that’s a fair statement.
In terms of the price of the futures contracts in the last 12 hours since they launched...

Story - Cobinhood Launched At Last
https://cobinhood.com
The eagerly awaiting launch of Cobinhood has arrived.
I say eagerly awaited, eagerly awaiting by me.
The beta version has been available for a while but didn’t do any real trades.
At midnight however all test accounts were reset and you can now sign up for an official account.
I attempted to sign up right away last night during the stream but it wouldn’t let me, probably because there was too much traffic.
I have now managed to register an account although there doesn’t seem to be a lot happening in terms of trading so I’ll see what happens throughout the day.

Glad to see Monero growing from strength to strength.
Monero has been my favourite cryptocurrency for some time, and keeps improving.
The undisputed King of the private coins.
Also the Monero developers are true to Cypherpunk and Freedom principles. Unlike the devs of Zcash....
Here's hoping they add more alts soon!
@marketingmonk great updates, appreciate the quality content you are bringing here.
Thank you for the support. Don't think that I haven't noticed you ;). Very much appreciated.
For all those who have recently gotten rich with crypto, consider that one of the most rewarding uses for that wealth is helping those you care about. Do big things for your family and friends. Change lives around you while we change the world together. #Bitcoin
Wow, great work here! Nice post!
The escrow function will be 🗝 for me. Didn't know about that funding for the monero hard wallet, that's really interesting as well. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Hey ,
Thanks for the great content
good info and great updates especially in cryptoverse
Great show and exciting times
still not sure what can I use monero for.. I have that online wallet from them, mining monero made me feel insecure rather than with enhaced privacy..
Dont like the monero button and logo
Great news, I think it is time for Monero to reach 10 Billion $
Yes - Monero is a great project
I really want to buy some COB tokens, but I can't get EtherDelta to work. Do I just need to raise the gas price? Whats the best price?
Cobinhood looks really neat and zero fees are great! However, only being able to switch between ETH and BTC doesn't sound very interesting to me.. Is anyone aware of plans to add new coins?
Hi,
Yes they are going to add BCC, ETC, LTC, ZEC, XMR, XRP, NEO, OMG, USDT, DASH, IOTA, EOS, REP, and GNT in the near future. Source: https://cobinhood.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003451471-Currencies-and-Tokens
In its initial phase, Cobinhood only supports BTC, ETH, COB, and USD. When/if these other coins get added; Cobinhood stands to be a game-changer!
Agreed! I've been in COB since October! Went to 10x pre launch
COBB is also going to add Ark. https://medium.com/cobinhood/and-the-winner-is-this-is-the-crowd-favorite-token-2da2f87831d2
BitPay will go 1-2x up in 2 weeks
Thanks for sharing
Cobinhood is so uninteresting imho, but as always good post Chris. Hope you write something about ICON and WANCHAIN soon.
.
great data and awesome updates particularly in cryptoverse
this is a huge update,, I think it will move the market as you mentioned it is already in twitter.
I would like to Resteem your post.
I already did.
Thank you
Thank you for the interesting information. I will follow you daily for your crypto markets expertise. You are a definite leader!
You should talk also about swisscoin, its a promising coin
I like monero because I can CPU mine it from my own website just using simple java script and I have a load of old device that can now be put back to life.
Agreed. Although this is true, please remember to keep your visitors’ privacy in mind and allow them the opportunity to opt out...unlike the now infamous Showtime fiasco. https://www.extremetech.com/computing/256547-showtime-caught-mining-cryptocurrency-viewers-pcs
I'm have to be compliant otherwise I would get de-ranked by google. I have all Privacy, Cookie, Third Party Policies CLEARLY displayed. It's also the users option if they want to mine and how much CPU they want to use. I also tell them about the damage that can be caused to their device with prolonged use. My members get shown their HASH RATE and the subsequent earnings from their hashes, I just keep a percentage that is also clearly displayed to te user.
I have a lot of websites and a lot run google ads so I wouldn't want to get blacklisted. I also work with legitimate partners who I also wouldn't want to get banned from.
People that don't tell users such stuff can't be bothered doing a bit of hard work and want to try and cheat users and partners and are usually banned from all the legitimate ways to earn. They learn the hard way.
It was great news for monero it was more pump I think in future
great thanks for sharing it helps !
