Radisys Announces Open Source LTE Radio Access Network (RAN) Software for the Mobile-CORD (M-CORD) Project – Telecom Reseller (press release)

Posted on February 22, 2017 by admin

HILLSBORO, Ore.February 21, 2017Radisys Corporation (NASDAQ: RSYS), the services acceleration company, today announced that it has open sourced its industry-validated and tested LTE RAN software, making it available under the Apache 2.0 license for ON.Labs open Mobile-CORD (Central Office Re-architected as a Datacenter) 5G architecture. The M-CORD reference solution brings the CORD framework to the mobile edge of the network for 5G services. By delivering an open source RAN for M-CORD, Radisys is enabling communications service providers to fast track their migrations from the traditional Central Office to virtualized data centers built with open source components.

Coming on the heels of Radisys delivering the industrys first Evolved Packet Core open source software for M-CORD, the addition of an open source LTE RAN solution to M-CORD provides communications service providers with an accelerated path to deploying 5G services, said Guru Parulkar, executive director, ONF, ON.Lab and Stanford Platform Lab. Radisys has been a leading proponent of M-CORD as a system integrator and this new open source software offering underscores its unparalleled commitment to M-CORDs success. We look forward to continuing our collaboration efforts with the Radisys team and supplying open source architectures that aid in the deployment of 5G.

Open source solutions have emerged as a major factor in aiding communications service providers migration from the Central Office to a virtualized data center model, but these telecom and service provider access and infrastructure solutions are complex and require diverse skill sets. As such, communications service providers are embracing the open CORD architecture to achieve the benefits of data center economics and the agility of the cloud. Radisys delivery of an open source LTE RAN enables communications service providers to readily adopt the M-CORD architecture and gain its associated benefits of disaggregation for virtualization, network slicing for scalability, and 5G architecture for connectionless mode.

By making Radisys LTE RAN software open sourced, Radisys further cements its commitment to the open source movement as integral part of our corporate strategy to enable communications service providers to avoid vendor lock-in and reduce time-to-market, said Brian Bronson, president and CEO, Radisys. Radisys LTE RAN software is field-hardened and proven globally in deployments around the world. By bringing our LTE RAN to the open source community through M-CORD, we can enable a 5G platform today while also focusing on delivery of a 5G RAN solution.

Radisys open source LTE RAN reference solution for the M-CORD reference architecture will be available March 2017. Radisys own M-CORD solution is a compilation of the companys open source LTE RAN and EPC reference architecture pre-integrated and deployed on its DCEngine platform an open hardware solution based on the OCP-ACCEPTED CG-OpenRack-19 specification from the Open Compute Project. The combination of this open software and hardware solution with Radisys integration, validation and custom development services delivers a service provider-ready solution.

See the M-CORD Demonstration at Mobile World Congress

Radisys and ON.Lab, along with other contributors, will demonstrate M-CORD use cases running on commodity hardware and on DCEngine at Mobile World Congress, February 27-March 2 in its Booth 5I61 in Hall 5. To see the demonstration and meet with Radisys CORD and open source experts, contact open@radisys.com.

Open source helps Internet of Things jump the hype hurdle at … – SiliconANGLE (blog)

Posted on February 22, 2017 by admin

Businesses are feeling their way into the Internet of Things, but theyre not moving very quickly, according to newfindings from a Red Hat Inc. survey that reveal a sizable gap between interest in IoT and actual deployment of projects.

The open source software provider released its newest report today, revisiting earlier IoT trends it uncovered in 2015. In the past two years, interest in IoT has grown 12 percent within the enterprise, with 55 percent of respondents tabbing IoT as important to their organizations. Yet fewer than 25 percent of respondents are actively designing, prototyping or coding an IoT project.

Could open source be the answer to successfully rolling out an IoT initiative within enterprise environments? Red Hat survey respondents think so, with an overwhelming 89 percent utilizing open source technologies for their IoT projects. Middleware was named the most important part of the software mix for IoT implementations, with 22 percent of respondents recognizing the necessity of software integration to convert IoT ideas into business-ready solutions.

This is where the power of the crowd comes into play. Where one business may be overwhelmed trying to devise a solution for a particular problem, another company may have already figured it out. Open sources collaborative approach aids in addressing the complexities of middleware and systems integration, even when its own democratic processes could contribute to those complexities.

Yes, theres a gap between interest and deployment [for IoT], and thats due to a lack of maturity in both proprietary and open source software, explained James Kirkland, chief architect for IoT at Red Hat. At first people tried to build an IoT platform from scratch, rebuilding everything. But those that have been most successful with IoT have picked one problem, addressed it and learned from it.

Kirkland noted several issue for enterprises. Security, knowledge and figuring out where the return on investment comes from in a project, are all concerns for enterprise IoT adoption, he said. From that you learn, grow and do one or two more projects, and build a more overarching solution from there. These are finite projects the enterprise can solve and learn from.

The interest in open source technology isnt surprising for IoT, a market still in its early years. Open source has demonstrated time and again the business perks of collaborative innovation, with each generation of open source technology leading to new potential products. As IoT transitions from a hype phase to a revenue-generating phase, open source is a comfortable go-to for cautious business people.

For the most part, enterprises are using open source for their needs, said Peter Burris, chief research officer at Wikibon,owned by the same company as SiliconANGLE Media. Burris, who has written an extensive report on IoTs potential within the emerging digital economy, sees recent open source developments as an opportunity for businesses to circumvent costly hardware thats suited only to specific needs.

The likelihood is well see a trend to replace specialized hardware with low-cost, general purpose hardware and specialized software, he said. What many in the enterprise hope is the promise of low cost hardware.

Open source can boost IoT deployments in that sense, making hardware more adaptable through software that can be accessed and customized rapidly in the cloud. With open source technologies, the enterprise can experiment with and even fail at IoT services faster, more cheaply and more often, avoiding the restrictive nature of proprietary software.

The fortunate byproduct of open source experimentation is the discovery of new business opportunities within the IoT market, as such projects establish use cases that can scale to revenue-generating services. Fifty-eight percent of Red Hats survey respondents indicated new business opportunities as the primary benefit to IoT, while 50 percent look to improve operations with IoT deployments.

What were finding is that a company builds out its backend and invests in an IoT solution, and they stumble across a business model they can sell to others, said Lis Strenger, a senior product marketing manager for IoT at Red Hat. One example is for a transportation company that ended up selling their model as a platform solution. This other business thats emerging is from insight data collected from the physical world. Theyre realizing they can share that data out to other companies, and add another layer of value to their offerings.

Red Hats findings are in line with other industry reports, with new data from 451 Research LLC revealing that 71 percent of the nearly 1,000 companies surveyed are gathering data for IoT initiatives. Thats a 3 percent increase from the previous quarter. Another report from the International Data Corp. puts global IoT spending at $1.29 trillion by 2020, with the majority of that spending going towards software upgrades to existing physical components and hardware, incorporating wireless data transmission through modules and sensors.

Several computing giants are indeed rolling out enterprise-ready solutions borne from open-source IoT projects, with Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. launching SecureData, a Swiss Army knife for enterprise security looking to transmit data into Apache Hadoop. General Electric Corp. is another instance of open-source spinning out fresh business opportunities, with the Cloud Foundry-based General Electric Co. Predix presenting a platform-as-a-service solution to digitally recreate physical machines for analysis and model-based projections.

Open source helps Internet of Things jump the hype hurdle at ... - SiliconANGLE (blog)

Interview: Ben Nickolls from Libraries.io the open source delivery service – TechSPARK (blog)

Posted on February 22, 2017 by admin

We find out about the organisation looking to improve software worldwide by categorising and improving its open source components

Its amazing how much of the technology we use every day is dependent on open source software. Developers are continually drawing on free code repositories that have been shared by friendly developers. With them so freely available, its no wonder that these open source libraries can be found in all kinds of software the world over, including in technologies that are essential to how we live our lives.

However, these bits of open source code are often not maintained, not updated, and can lead to security risks such as theOpenSSL vulnerability Heartbleed, which threatened the security of people using the internet. Even if they have been updated, how do you know where those updated libraries are, or which versionsyou should be using in your own projects?

Bath-based developer Andrew Nesbitt (pictured left) has been wrestling with this problem since 2014. To help combat it he created Libraries.iowhich now monitors over 2 million open source libraries across 33 different packet managers. This service helps to ensure developers are using the latest version of the code, as well as showing where those libraries are being used already and in what software projects.

Now, hes been joined by Ben Nickolls (pictured above, in main picture), another Bath-based developer keen to highlightfree and open source projects that are essential, and yet under-supported. To find out more about how the service works and how people can get involved with such a worthy project, we caught up with Ben at The Guild co-working hub to ask him a few questions:

TS:What is Libraries.IO?

Ben Nickolls:In short, Libraries.io (as a project) aims to improve the quality of software. All software. Open source software has been welded into a huge variety of technologies that are fundamental to our modern lives. Its time to make sure those crucial building blocks are properly cared for.

We have three aims: to improve search and recommendation engines. To create tools that help people make informed decisions about what software they use in projects. And to highlight free and open source projects that are essential, and yet under-supported.

By understanding the relationships between software we can very quickly provide a recommendation for a piece of software lets say a Redis client for Ruby by knowing that the recommendation at the top is the one most frequently listed as a dependency in other projects. Its one of three core approaches that were taking to try to improve all software.

TS: How does Libraries.IO work?

BN:Libraries.io harnesses the same techniques Google uses to index the internet, but applies them to software. Andrew substituted a network graph of websites and pages connected by hyperlinks, for one with software projects and links representing the use of code within another project as a dependency.

TS: What will you be bringing to Libraries.io in the new role?

BN:The easiest thing to say is that I will be doing everything that Andrew doesnt, including finding funding. Which is to say that I wont be spending 100% of my time developinglibraries.io though I might sneak a cheeky commit in there every now and again.

TS:How is Libraries.IO funded?

BN: Were currently under what is know as fiscal sponsorship of Brave New Software, which means they actually hold and disperse of the grants that we have received. Were currently funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the Ford Foundation, both of whom were born of the motor industry in the US.With them on board we have funding until 1st January 2018 so well be looking for further support in 2017.

TS: You are concerned about the future of open source, what is it that concerns you and how can it be addressed?

BN:Ive spent most of professional life working in or very close to open source. In my professional life it all began with Osmosoft and Jeremy Ruston at BT. I then fell into developing mobile applications using web standards and tools like PhoneGap, around the same time as Node.js was released. Having left software development for 2-3 years while I did other things at BT I suddenly found that I could get so far with these technologies that I could start my own company. So I did.

And herein is the issue.

I like many other developers these days gain so much from open source. Theres a reason why seed funds exist today when they could not in the late 90s. All that value instilled in freely available tools and technologies enables them to stand on the shoulders of those who built them. But while its fair to say that free and open source software has won whatever than might mean I suspect its success could also be its downfall.

I dont think people today contribute enough back to the foundational projects that underpin thousands of others: our core, digital infrastructure. These projects are often supported by individuals or small groups on the basis of some moral obligation. I think this could be catastrophic for open source. I think we need so to make open source as egalitarian as it was back in the day.We also need to tackle the cultural aversion to money in open source, at least when it pertains to work these types of projects.

TS: How can people get involved with Libraries.io?

Contribute! Libraries has a long list of package managersthat it doesnt yet support. We also need users to tell us what they think of the site and whether there are any issues. With only two full-time staff we cant do everything, but were looking at ways to reward those who are contributing from the community. Were also redeveloping our documentation to encourage contributors of all ages and skills

TS: Is it easy to get involved with the open source movement in the West of England? How can people do this?

BN: When I first moved here I was told Bath was the graveyard of ambition, a common clich touted by those who have gone belly up in the sun. I was amazed at just how open a community there is, both here and abroad in Bristol *waves*. This area almost immediately felt like a place I could fall into very easily from a techie POV. Bath:Hacked, Bath Ruby, The Engine Shed/Set Squared lot, all great people, and some amazing companies too. But now Im sounding like a Trumpain demagogue so I will stop myself and say, come say hi.

Many thanks to Ben for taking the time to answer our questions. You can see more at the Libraries.IO websiteand get in contact viasupport@libraries.io, you can also follow them on Twitter here: @librariesio And while you are about it, why not give us a follow too!@TechSPARKuk

Julian Assange: When You Read a Newspaper Article, You Are …

Posted on February 21, 2017 by admin

CNET reportsthat Assange appeared via video-link in a discussion with Australian comedian Chas Licciardello in Sydney, Australia this week. During the interview, Assange discussed the idea of fake news and how WikiLeaks refusal to editorialize their content and rather provide pure data to the public has allowed them to publish facts without bias.

What is special about WikiLeaks is that its not just another damn story, said Assange, its not just another damn journalist putting their damn byline, advertising themselves and their position on another damn story.

Youre not reading pre-weaponised knowledge, Assange said in discussing WikiLeaks vast database of information. When you read a newspaper article, you are reading weaponised text that is designed to affect a person just like you I think that is the real beauty of WikiLeaks it is that sea of information, that treasure, that intellectual treasure, that rebel library of Alexandria you can go into.

Surprisingly, Assange said that he was quite happy to see the narrative of fake news being pushed by the media, claiming so far WikiLeaks has a 100% correct record when it comes to verifiable information.

When the narrative of fake news came out and was then taken off effectively by the neo-liberal press and pushed around I could see exactly where that was going. I was rather happy about it, Assange said. WikiLeaks is very happy that there is a narrative about fake news out there because we have a perfect record of having never got it wrong in terms of authentications.

The real value in WikiLeaks is it is a wonderful library that you can trust But the library has to be marketed. And so the scandal-generation business, which were also in I view that as a kind of marketing effort for what is much more substantial, which is our archive, he continued. We try and maximize the value of the information to readers. So thats publishing it at the moment when they most want to read it, when they most want to know what it contains. And thats definitely before an election rather than after election.

When asked about the accuracy of the released emails of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, Assange said, We had lots of critics in the Democratic Party, liars in the Democratic Party saying that what we published was not accurate trying to imitate it, sometimes saying it directly. And of course we could mathematically prove that they were liars. And its not every day that you can mathematically prove that your critics are full of it.

Julian Assange ‘happy’ about the rise of fake news – Engadget

Posted on February 21, 2017 by admin

"When the narrative of fake news came out and was then taken off effectively by the neo-liberal press and pushed around ... I could see exactly where that was going. I was rather happy about it," he told the crowd, according to CNET. "WikiLeaks is very happy that there is a narrative about fake news out there because we have a perfect record of having never got it wrong in terms of authentications."

Assange went on to describe Wikileaks as "a wonderful library you can trust" and a source of "original pristine information."

"I think that is the real beauty of WikiLeaks ... it is that sea of information, that treasure, that intellectual treasure, that rebel library of Alexandria you can go into."

The Wikileaks founder's views are ironic considering his organization's role in the 2016 presidential election. He was critical of Clinton and the contents of Wikileaks' huge email leak was a regular point of contention during the election. He called her potential presidency, "a consolidation of power in the existing ruling class of the United States."

Wikileaks' release of nearly 20,000 emails sent to and from top DNC officials directly impacted her campaign. Some of the messages led to rumors that Clinton and her campaign chairman, John Podesta, were involved in Satanic rituals. Other correspondence detailed schemes to potentially undermine candidate Bernie Sanders by attacking his faith and political leanings. A number of DNC officials, including Committee chairman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, resigned following the leaks.

Wikileaks has also faced scrutiny in recent months over its handling of personal information. It floated plans to create a database of verified Twitter user data, but changed its mind after intense public backlash. An Associated Press report called out the organization last August for publishing sensitive details on hundreds of innocent people, including teen rape victims.

Cryptocurrency of the Future – E-Dinar Coin – Yahoo Finance

Posted on February 21, 2017 by admin

BEIJING, Feb. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --On the background of anever-increasing number of electronic financial systemswhich are emerging every day on the network, the appearance of a new environmentally friendly cryptocurrency can not pass unnoticed. "How can users get mining percentage without special equipment, without having to spend huge amounts of money to pay for the electricity bills? Why is there so little truly interesting and important projects in the world? How to play on the exchange and currency markets, and what is the mission of E-Dinar Coin cryptocurrency," asked CoinMarketCap.

CoinMarketCap:E-Dinar Coin has positioned itself as the world's first eco-friendly decentralized cryptocurrency. How can its mining be possible without energy consumption?

Insider My:E-Dinar Coin mining doesn't require a huge amount of energy compared with other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. For participation in holding the overall transactions in the system and ongoing transfers, people can get mining bonus in the amount of up to 0.65% per day. It is a reward for their participation in the development of the system, as by making internal transactions among other participants in the E-Dinar Coin system, every user contributes to the overall development of our increasing network of distributed transactions and at the same time, their income.

Mining of E-Dinar Coin cryptocurrency is performed without special equipment, with no electricity costs, whilst our cryptocurrency miners are, first of all, people who are willing to change the world for the better.

CoinMarketCap:You're talking about a global purpose - the desire to change the world ... Can you describe the mission of the E-Dinar Coin project?

Insider My: Our mission IS to change the world for the better.

Now our main task is to ensure that E-Dinar Coin is known by more people around the world. And it is important that users, by offering products and services, would explain as well what is the Federal Reserve System, how unfairly it operates and why binding to gold is abolished; why barter was banned; why the Dulles Plan - the American post-war doctrine against the USSR - did work; why large transactions can be conducted mostly in dollars and only with the use of SWIFT (Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication channels); why no any other currency is quoted for such calculations. We need to explain this people to give them a possibility to get answers to those questions!

Here, as always, everything depends on the people who choose the time and object of the development. After all, there was a time somebody was engaged in popularization of the US dollar and its world domination. And it worked! It still depends on the willingness - of what we want after all. To do good and to be engaged in charity or just pretend to do all these things? Today the whole world will turn to charity! If people consolidated their efforts we would have been able to solve all ecological problems and humanity could travel through space, rather than sit in one-bedroom apartments and pay for gas and light! There is always need in people-actions! Those who will act rather than talk. This is exactly what E-Dinar Coin is into. It acts.

CoinMarketCap:Tell us about your team: what was preceded to E-dinar Coin launching? Did you work on other known projects in the area of cryptocurrency?

Insider My: In launching of E-Dinar Coin there were involved a lot of highly intelligent and talented people. We are not exaggerating when we saythat E-Dinar Coin was created by the best specialists of Blockchain world and the world of online games, the best financiers and employees of the banking sector, employees and managers of p2p exchanges, major companies of different sectors of the economy, with vast experience in business, European and US financial analysts, programmers from China ... Those are people who worked on the creation of websites like Alibaba, former employees of corporations such as Google.

They not only helped with the launching of the project, but also they are involved in the development of updates and generation of improvements to the current system, because we will always strive to make the E-Dinar Coin service even more user-friendly!

CoinMarketCap:The most popular cryptocurrencies have their own source code in their public domain. Does it allow any user to check the integrity of the code, as well as help developers in identifying shortcomings. Why did you decide to keep your source code in secret?

Insider My: Information about the source code is available for programmers who are interested in the development and connection of cryptocurrencies to their applications, stores and exchange markets, with which we have been working since E-Dinar Coin has been launched and with whom planning a long-term cooperation. Our product is unique. Partially, we used the accumulated experience of other projects, but ultimately created a completely new project, combining together all the best peculiarities of blockchain used at various projects and platforms.

We occupied the niche which no one claimed before. And we do not open the code simply because now we do not want it to be used universally.

CoinMarketCap:Speaking about E-Dinar Coin putting together the best features of the various projects, for example, the presence of referral program in the project? Why are you putting so much attention to it in your marketing plan? How often people skeptically talk about multi-level marketing in the field of cryptocurrency?

Insider My:We consider E-Dinar Coin, in some way, as a game, based on the principles of blockchain technology. Players here can stay in their locations or open new levels, "pumping" their accounts. In general, there are 7 levels in the system (three levels - in China)

We believe that the true value is only determined by the involvement of its members in the cryptocurrency project: when people are engaged in mining, developing it and attracting new users, then the cryptocurrency value increases.

In most projects, the final participant is suspended from the most important - the management process. For example, weuse a certain currency and attract my friends to use it. Does in change something for us? Do weget an extra income? No! This is happening because the process manages a certain company, like the ones that we mentionedabove. In E-Dinar Coin there are no corporations, our greatest asset is the people! And participants in the project are aware of that, in fact, it determines the rapid development of E-Dinar Coin, as we are all united by one goal, one purpose.

CoinMarketCap:Tell us more about DPOs algorithm. What are its advantages over the PoS or PoW?

Insider My:DPoS mining algorithm was chosen in purpose. It is based on the need to prove the storage of a certain amount of funds in the account. Using this method, the cryptocurrency algorithm allocates new units in proportion to the current balance on the wallet. Thus, the obtained coins are allocated to the wallets of members who are the most loyal to the cryptocurrency. It means that each account holder can partially control the production of coins. It makes all members equally responsible for the most important processes, such as the reduction or growth rate, an increase of production or an increase of popularity! Anyone who keeps their assets in EDC is the owner of a new distributed system based on blockchain technology.

Bitcoin uses a PoW. Bitcoin mining is based on spending huge amounts of electricity, which is bad for the environment. Mining is not available to ordinary citizens, because they simply do not have such powerful computers. And it makes us much more interesting and accessible to ordinary citizens - EDC can be mined by using just a regular smartphone.

CoinMarketCap:On the official website you say that one of the objectives of the project is to combat air and water pollution by means of investment in urban projects, which is very noble and important. Can you give a few examples of such projects? What results have you achieved in this direction at the moment?

Insider My: E-Dinar Coin does not waste energy on mining, on the contrary, the system provides cryptocurrency to stimulate the production of clean energy.

We have already signed a preliminary agreement on cooperation with OneraSystems, renowned developer of solar power in Egypt, which provides implementation of the project of installing solar power with capacity of 50 MWp (megawatt / peak) to provide E-Dinar Coin with solar energy, as well as in order to continue the further development of the system.

At the moment, we are also discussing about our co-operation project with the Wildlife Fund (WWF). However, we willtell you later about our joint projects and the solutions, which we plan to achieve.

CoinMarketCap:You recently announced plans to expand the EDC users community to one billion of people and it is not an easy goal.

Insider My: There are registered more than half a million users in the project right now! The system of E-Dinar Coin is constructed in such a way that it allows us to increase the number of users to one billion and provide them with the necessary amount of coins.

Nowadays, in the world there are only three currencies, which can provide a billion of dollars, a billion of euros and a billion of EDC. All these currencies are transportable, but imagine how will you transport one million dollars or a million euros? Shipping in an aircraft or submarine? How can you ensure the safety of such loads? To date, the world's only fastest and most reliable way to conduct transactions is cryptocurrency. The user can deposit and withdraw money in any country due to the decentralized system.

CoinMarketCap:Analyzing the chart of the EDC rate, you can trace the period of active growth at the end of August and beginning of September, after that there is a lull in the growth of prices. How can you explain this break? Do you work together with the community over the resumption of the growing trend?

Insider My: It's not a correct question, because E-Dinar Coin is growing daily, so there is no need to work towards the resumption of growth.

Just think of these figures: now more than 500,000 people are registered in the system, while the number of transactions per day amounts to over 150,000, as well the daily number of users increased to 8,000-15,000 people! For comparison, 12,000,000 users are registered at the most popular Blockchain platform, and the number of their transactions amounts to 200,000 per day. This comparison shows the dynamics of our cryptocurrency, so we do not understand what the trend we need to renew?

Ticino plans to launch local cryptocurrency ‘Ticinocoin’ – EconoTimes

Posted on February 21, 2017 by admin

Tuesday, February 21, 2017 4:43 AM UTC

Ticino, a region in southern Switzerland, has revealed its plans to issue its own local digital currency for everydayuse.

The announcement comes on the heels of the City Council of Zug in the east Switzerland launching a pilot project allowing paying for municipal services with bitcoin last May. During the initial phase of the programme, the maximum amount payable with the cryptocurrency was limited to 200 Swiss francs. The city authorities are not opposed to extending the experiment to other cryptocurrencies.

Called Ticinocoin (TIC), the future cryptocurrency is a brainchild of computer scientists Claudio Rossini and Michele Fiscalini. The developers have already tested the currency: the pilot phase of the project was completed last week, Tribune de Geneve reported.

According to Fiscalini, circulation of TIC may be limited to local services and products from Ticino. The exchange rate of TIC is expected to be one Swiss franc. The operations with ticinocoin may require obligatory authorisation by FINMA, the Swiss monetary regulator, the release said.

Ticinocoin is not the first local currency in Switzerland. In 2015, Lmanic Arc introduced the regional currency Lmans, which now accounts for over 100,000 units in circulation. The launch of the electronic version of Lman is due in March. Furthermore, Valais may introduce its own complementary currency Farinet this year.

Cryptocurrency Trading Techniques for Novices – newsBTC

BTC trading is relatively anonymous, and many online brokerages will not require any proof of identification when trading this cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin, or BTC, is a cryptocurrency that is traded as a commodity at many online brokerages. It is unique in many ways. For starters, BTC is not subject to central bank policy and it operates outside of the realms of regulation. BTC trading is relatively anonymous, and many online brokerages will not require any proof of identification when trading this cryptocurrency. BTC has revolutionized the way that retailers, buyers, and traders interact with one another and the markets. Many folks are now dabbling in Bitcoin trading in much the same way as they do with traditional currency pairs like the AUD/USD, GBP/EUR and USD/JPY among others. Fortunately, you dont need much trading experience to get involved in digital currency trading since everything is relatively easy to understand. However, novices will want to avoid the following pitfalls:

Most every financial trade can go one of two ways up or down. As a trader, you must be prepared for losses, and you should allocate a bankroll with that in mind. When you trade highly speculative financial instruments like BTC, losses are commonplace. This is especially true for novices who have little experience in currency trading, or digital currencies like Bitcoin. The golden rule is never to invest money that you need for everyday expenses. If youre going to trade BTC online, make sure that you have a diversified financial portfolio to act as a hedge against any losses you may accrue.

Trading currencies, commodities, indices, and stocks is inherently volatile. Trading cryptocurrency is especially volatile. It is extremely important to go into a trade knowing what goals you have in mind. You should always have a figure in mind when you take profits, or a figure at which you cut your losses. You do not want to be trading with an emotional mindset thats a recipe for disaster. Greed is the Achilles heel of many a trader. When a currency is rising relative to its peers, it is normal to want to continue benefiting on the upside, or downside when it appears that there is significant momentum at play. However, greed has led to more losses than anything else. Always keep target prices in mind. One way you may wish to do this is by trading with strategies. A good example of a BTC trading strategy is the trendline strategy. You certainly do not want to be trading in a euphoric state of mind, or in a state of mind where you are despondent. It is better to trade when an asset is rising in price, before it peaks, and before it bottoms out.

When you set a stop loss, you are setting an automatic liquidation of your trade. Once the trade hits a certain value, a sell order will be initiated and your trade will be closed out. If you are losing money, the stop loss will prevent you from losing more. The reason stop losses are so popular with traders is that it is impossible to keep your eye on hundreds of trades simultaneously, so the automatic stop loss will sell your losing trade to prevent further losses. Stop losses are important when youre using high levels of leverage. They prevent you from hemorrhaging cash when the trade is not going your way.

Technical analysis and fundamental analysis are important components of your trading arsenal. Even if you have little mathematical or statistical ability, it behooves you to research a little about charts and market trends. Once you understand the basics of chart reading, you will find that your BTC trades are much more successful. Several types of charts are available to you, including candlestick charts which display price movements over time intervals. You will note things like opening prices of BTC, closing prices, low prices, high prices and the trading range.
