Dash has partnered with Wall of Coins, a peer-to-peer bitcoin exchange, to allow users to exchange the cryptocurrency for cash at financial service companies such asBank of America, Chase, Wells Fargo, Western Union and MoneyGram, according to an announcement.

The Wall of Coins website lets users deposit the cryptocurrency in a financial institution and exchange it for cash.

Dash traders and investors will no longer have to buy Dash from a digital exchange using other cryptocurrencies. They will be able to convert cash to Dash almost immediately.

Dashs market cap has soared from $78 million to a record high of $233 million.

Buying a new cryptocurrency usually requires having to sign up for an account, verify identity, wait for account approvals and transfer funds from a bank account. The process can take days. Wall of Coins allows users to buy Dash immediately at tens of thousands of physical locations in 12 countries.

Because Wall of Coins supports Dashs InstantSend feature, Dash transactions can be even faster, according to Ryan Taylor, Dash director of finance. Wall of Coins also provides another way to sell Dash, at a premium compared to rates available at traditional exchanges.

Customers deposit cash at a financial institution, and in minutes, receive Dash or bitcoin to a wallet of their choice. They can then sell their cryptocurrency to Wall of Coins and withdraw the corresponding cash value at a financial institution.

All of Wall of Coins services are offered through an API, enabling developers to build additional services on top of its platform.

We have become the first service to let people get Dash directly with paper money, and by far the fastest marketplace for it, said Robert Genito, Wall of Coins project director.

Bitcoin is a popular currency for cybercriminals to trade in.

Cybercriminals are taking advantage of the rising price and popularity of Bitcoin to try to steal the currency and distribute malware.

The cryptocurrency has become invaluable to cybercriminals who exploit its anonymous, decentralised nature as a tool for demanding ransomware payments and laundering various other ill-gotten gains.

This month social media Bitcoin scams have reached a new high, with over 125 million malicious links across Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram designed to attack victims and extort Bitcoin.

These Bitcoin scams target social media because it's full of people who might be interested in buying and selling Bitcoin, but don't know much about it -- making them prime targets to be taken advantage of by scammers.

In a report detailing the spike in this cybercriminal activity, researchers at ZeroFOX have identified four main categories for these scams, each using different methods to steal Bitcoin and carry out other cybercrimes.

1. Malware hidden in fake Bitcoin wallets

The nature of social media means that users click on what they perceive to be interesting links -- and the chance of an easy way of getting Bitcoin might be enough to catch some users. Cybercriminals know this and are luring Twitter users into following links which distribute malware.

Not only could users find that their details are potentially compromised by cyberthieves, or their device roped into botnet, but also the cybercriminals will generate revenue from successfully luring victims into clicking these links.

The lesson here is that if an offer on social media sounds too good to be true, it usually is -- especially if it's coming from an anonymous or default account.

2. Bitcoin phishing

Cybercriminals are posing as legitimate Bitcoin services, impersonating brands in order to gain trust from victims. Behind these veneers of credibility are phishing websites which entice users to enter their Bitcoin keys. But once the key is entered, the hacker is able to freely spend from the victim's wallet.

3. Bitcoin 'flipping'

Many people buy Bitcoin in the hope that it'll go up in value and they can make a profit by selling it at a later date. Impatient investors often turn to Bitcoin flipping schemes in attempt to make a quicker profit.

Typically, these schemes offer to rapidly increase a user's investment -- for a fee. Cybercriminals are taking advantage of this by distributing links on social media, which claim they'll flip Bitcoins, but the real intention is stealing from those naive enough to make payments via links they've found on social media.

4. Pyramid schemes

The final Bitcoin scam experiencing a spike in popularity is the classic pyramid scheme.

Cybercriminals encourage people to sign up to a scheme with a low initial investment -- then reap rewards when they sign up new members to the scheme. It doesn't take long for hundreds of people to have handed over a payment, at which point the original scammer walks away -- taking a wedge of ill-gotten Bitcoin gains with them and leaving victims out of pocket.

The total number of social media URLs sharing links to these four types of scams came to 126,276,549, say cybersecurity researchers at ZeroFOX, with 3,618 unique scams identified. The high number of scams suggests that botnets are being deployed in order to spread links.

Scammers, be they peddling Bitcoin or otherwise, love social media for all the same reasons modern brand marketers do. They can reach any target demographic across the globe by choosing the right hashtag, said Phil Tully, senior data scientist at ZeroFOX.

"The ease of use has never been simpler, the cost has never been lower, and the power and scale has never been greater. For a cybercriminal, it's the new superhighway for illicit activity; billions of victims, lacking security controls and uninhibited access," he added.

Bitcoin scams: Beware of crooks trying to steal your cryptocurrency with these schemes - ZDNet

Node40, a blockchain governance company and one of the biggest server hosting providers for the Dash network,has created a service that allows Americans to properly report their cryptocurrency holdings to the tax authorities.

Node40 Balance, available for Dash today and Bitcoin later this year, calculates net gains and losses for every single transaction made throughout the calendar year, and rolls it all into the relevant IRS form. During two years of development, the software has undergone comprehensive beta testing using real-world use cases, the company reports.

CEO of Node40 Perry Woodin said: Node40 Balance is a feature packed blockchain accounting service that brings the familiarity of services like QuickBooks or TurboTax to the world of digital currency. Node40 Balance analyzes the blockchain and provides valuation data for all of your transactions. You annotate your transactions according to your real-world needs and Node40 Balance provides reports with your gains, losses, and income. What makes Node40 Balance unique is the precision in which gains and losses are calculated. A simple FIFO strategy is not sufficient for dealing with digital currency transactions. Node40 Balance uses the true carrying cost and days held to calculate precise valuations that ensure you are not over-reporting your tax liability.

The need for this innovation is the ambiguous IRS policy on cryptocurrency and that when people try to report such transactions themselves they cant really take minute-by-minute price fluctuations into consideration.

The burden of calculating tax liability falls completely on the user. Most people do one of two things; use software that does not calculate the level of accuracy that we required, or go to accountants who will apply a very simple FIFO strategy to determine gains or losses, which we know to be incorrect. This strategy works well for traditional investments where you are selling whole units, but it is not a good strategy for digital currency. When transacting in digital currency, most transactions will have multiple inputs, each with a different cost basis. Unless you are able to create an exact transaction, the cost basis of the change needs to be tracked along with the amount of days carried. Users of Dash and Bitcoin, both experiencing meteoric rises this year, have genuinely been crying out for a product like this for a long time. We anticipate significant demand, Woodin added.

The prices of ether (ETH), Dash (DASH) and Monero (XMR), among others, have surged in the past month as investors are growing more confident of cryptocurrencies and looking for investment opportunities beyond bitcoin.

Ether, the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum network, has been amongst the most notable rallies, rising by up to 231% between March 01, and March 17, to reach an all-time-high of 53 USD/ETH. According to data from Coinmarketcap.com, ether is currently trading at around 43 USD/ETH.

eToro, a European social trading and multi asset brokerage company, launched ether trading in January 2017. Trading volumes over the last few days have increased by over 1,680% as traders are becoming more enthusiastic about the prospects of Ethereum.

The moves were seeing today are reminiscent of May 2013 when the price Bitcoin rallied from US$3 to US$126 inside a week, said Mati Greenspan, senior market analyst at eToro.

What were seeing today is a further sign of growing investor confidence in cryptocurrencies. Certainly the SEC announcement earlier this month was a disappointment, but Ethereum has been rallying since then and Bitcoin bounced back almost immediately. With more announcements due in the coming months, we expect our traders will continue to remain confident on the future prospects of the asset class.

On the eToro platform, 96% of traders are buying Ethereum, Greenspan said, adding that the bullish sentiment has being driven by two key elements: firstly, he noted that the proposed Hyperledger project has been considering using the Ethereum blockchain to create a global monetary settlement system. The Hyperledger project includes more than 100 of the worlds leading financial institutions.

Secondly, he said that speculation has been rife within the Ethereum community of an upcoming upgrade to a new system called Casper, which promises to be much faster and stronger than the current format.

Alongside ether, another cryptocurrency that has rallied is Dash. Dash, a cryptocurrency that focuses on privacy and speed, has seen its price skyrocket by about 321% between February 27 and March 18 to hit an all-time-high of 118 USD/DASH. At the time of writing, Dash is hovering around 97 USD/DASH.

According to Ryan Taylor, director of finance at Dash, the price of Dash has surged for many reasons, including the numerous developments that have been undergoing in the ecosystem.

We have a full pipeline of integrations in the works as we continue to close the gap to Bitcoin in terms of the variety of services available through our network, Taylor told CoinJournal. Weve also seen a number of influential personalities become public supporters of Dash, which is forcing investors to evaluate our currency often for the first time.

He noted that Dash offered solutions to many of the issues that are plaguing Bitcoins growth with features and distinctivenesss that include instant transactions, enhanced privacy and strong governance.

Furthermore, Taylor said that Bitcoins scaling issues have crippled its growth.

I suspect that were seeing renewed openness toward alternative currencies for a few key reasons. Firstly, I think its becoming increasingly clear that solutions to Bitcoins scaling issues are still a long way from being resolved, and Bitcoins capacity constraints may be spilling over into other currencies, Taylor said. Secondly, its becoming clear that Bitcoin may be ill-equipped to resolve conflicts and disputes arising within their network, and many investors are simply looking to hedge against the risks that entails.

He concluded:

I think the market is finally recognizing that first-mover advantage is not a guarantee that one currency can address all customer market segments. There are many currencies that provide value by focusing on performing specific tasks incredibly well.

Dash is set to deliver its next major release later this year. Evolution will focus on creating a digital currency and ecosystem capable of reaching a mass audience by stripping away all the complexity of using cryptocurrency, including eliminating cryptographic addresses.

Ether, Dash & Monero Prices Surge Amid Growing Investors ... - CoinJournal (blog)

The online cryptocurrency Bitcoinis rapidly becoming 2017s go-to currency. The Bitcoin demand is on the rise, and one Bitcoin is worth around $1010.

Currently, there is a threat of a hard fork on the cryptocurrency network, causing many users to concern over their cryptocurrency accounts.Bitcoin is a form of digital currency, which is not controlled by any organization. It was originally developed by a software developer called Satoshi Nakamoto. The idea was to create a decentralized form of currency, which would be used for economic transactions with low transaction fees, according to CoinDesk.

Bitcoins are not printed physically because they are created digitally by a community of people that can be joined by anyone in the world. The currency creates mining bitcoins, which means that transactions for online coins are tracked by computers, in order to confirm that they have a monetary value.

The copy for every blockchain is available for anyone participating in the cryptocurrency business, but miners have to confirm that the blocks -seeing as theyre not being regulated by anyone- are in fact a legitimate transaction. To do this, they run a mathematical formula to the block, turning it into a hash, that allows miners to know if a block has been tampered with, meaning that the block is fake.

The bitcoin network deals with this by collecting all of the transactions made during set period into a list, called a block. Its the miners job to confirm those transactions, and write them into a general ledger, explains CoinDesk. This general ledger is a long list of blocks, known as the blockchain. It can be used to explore any transaction made between any bitcoin addresses, at any point of the network.

Miners use hashes to seal off a block, and they use software written to mine the blocks. When a miner creates a successful hash, they earn 25 bitcoins, and the information is added to the blockchain. However, creating hashes from data available isnt too hard -although more specifications to filter the number of successful hashes have been added- and the cryptocurrency network is growing larger every day.

Cryptocurrency is growing so fast as a currency option, that a hard fork is predicted for Bitcoins.Circle Internet Financial, a technology company that offers user online wallets for cryptocurrency, sent out an email to users on Monday suggesting that they should sell all of their bitcoins, to avoid the potential consequences of the upcoming hard fork.

The tech company used to trade bitcoins while users were able to sell and buy bitcoins on the page, but it stopped offering the service in December, only keeping the online wallets. The company explained in the email, that if a hard fork were to happen, their bitcoin services would be disrupted for an extended period of time.

As it relates to blockchain technology, a hard fork (or sometimes hardfork) is a radical change to the protocol that makes previously invalid block/transactions valid (or vice-versa), and as such requires all nods or users to upgrade to the latest version of the protocol software, according to Investopedia. This essentially creates a fork in the blockchain, one path which follows the new upgraded blockchain, and one path which continues along the old path.

The hard fork is not unheard of in the cryptocurrency network. Last year, the Ethereum hard fork took place in October, when a software development team, named Ethereum, designed a hard fork to increase the gas cost of transactions. However, the hard fork increased the number of service attacks, known as DoS attacks. This has lead to Bitcoin users raising their concern about the called replay attacks that the server may suffer after the hard fork.

The Merkle describes the bitcoin replay attack as an issue that would allow attackers to steal other users coins. The coins stolen may or may not go to the attackers wallet, but either way, the vulnerability could empty users wallets.

The rise of cryptocurrency is fueled by economic measures around the world, as the bitcoin is calculated taken the worlds economy into account. Estimates predict that with President Trumps economic policies, the currency could rise to $2,000 dollars in 2017. The rise has been real, as in early December the Bitcoin was traded at $754.Boby Lee, CEO of BTCC talked to CoinDesk about the rise in the cryptocurrency.

I think 2017 could be a continuation of 2016, in terms of it being a growth year for bitcoins price, said Lee. We are clearly in a bull market for bitcoin now, and my experience tells me that bitcoin bull markets dont end until the previous high ($1,150 in December 2013) is exceeded, and that the new price is several multiples higher than the previous high.

Experts and cryptocurrency-trading companies say that there is a plan to protect users Bitcoins in the event of a hard fork. However, if a hard fork takes place, two copies of the blockchain, two networks and two versions of the software would be created, leaving users to gamble on which one to use. Experts also said that if the hard fork takes place, all exchanges are likely to freeze for a period of time before and after it occurs.

Cryptocurrencies, particularlybitcoin, have created hundreds of thousands of jobs. Even more, millions of individuals all over the world are currently receiving payments for their work in bitcoin. There are also numerous ways to earn some cryptocurrencies using just laptop, or a PC, and an internet connection. I bet you already know about cryptocurrency faucets and altcoin mining which are easy ways to earn a few cents worth of cryptocurrencies per day.

Throughout this article, I will introduce you to relatively uncommon ways to make some crypto using only a laptop, or a PC, and an internet connection.

You can earn around between 10-20 centsworth of Gridcoin per day, via donating your computing power to the Gridcoin network via only using your PC or laptop.

Gridcoin (GRC) is an altcoin whose blockchain is the first ever cryptocurrency protocol to deliver a math based digital algorithm that equally incentivizes and cryptographically verifies solving of BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing) problems, which literally can be any form of computing process including CPU, GPU, Sencoretc.

BOINC is a volunteer oriented, internet based computing grid that collectively combines the computing power of individual machines for various purposes of scientific research such as to map the Milky Way, attempt to find a cure for Aids, cancer, Ebola and Malaria, decipher various enigma code.etc.

Gridcoins network rewards volunteers, who donate their computing power, for participating in BOINC computation processes via means of Distributed Proof of Research (DPOR) incentivizing mechanism, which is a combination of 2 mechanisms; Proof-of-BOINC (PoB) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS).

Proof-of-Work (PoW) mechanisms are not implemented in Gridcoins network, thus, Gridcoins blockchain is far more energy saving than cryptocurrency protocols utilizing the PoW mechanism.

In PoS, you mint coins, instead of mining them. To do this, you need to own some Gridcoins in your Gridcoin wallet. To calculate your rewards, you need to know your coin age. Coin age is calculated by multiplying the number of coins, i.e. the stake, by the number of days the coins were present in the users wallet. For instance, if you hold 100 coins for 3 days, your coin age will equal 100 x 3 = 300.

The blocks generated in Gridcoins blockchain are adjusted to meet a specific annual hash target for the entire network. Accordingly, the target is continuously adjusted rather than every 2 weeks, as bitcoins difficulty. Gridcoins rate which is listed in APRs schedule is annualized, the applied rate forcoins with an APR of 1% for coins present in the wallet for one day is 1%/365

You can donate your computing power for research purposes for various projects including mapping the Milky Way, attempt to find a cure for Aids, cancer, Ebola and Malaria and other. You will be rewarded with Gridcoin for particpating in these projects.

You will have to download and install the BOINC client and Gridcoins wallet to be able to participate in these projects. You can find a detailed guide on how to install BOINC and setup your environment for giving away your computing power in exchange for Gridcoin on Gridcoins website.

I used an Intel Core i5 2.2 GHZ HP laptop, with 16 GB DDR3 SDRAM and a NIVIDIA GEFORCE 820M graphic card to experiment donating my computing power to the Gridcoin network. I made 10 cents worth of Gridcoin in around 24 hours.

Autosurfing programs are website services that incentivize you for leaving your PC, or laptop, automatically surf websites. Note that many of the websites that claim to offer autosurfing rewards are scams, so only use trusted websites with good reviews and testimonials.

Bitcoin Surf has been around for a while and has excellent reviews online and is praised on bitcointalk.org. The site pays and can be an easy way to make a few thousand satoshis by just pointing your browser to bitcoin surfs website.

Three New Experts Join Cryptocurrency Fund TaaS Board Ahead of ... - Finance Magnates

Considering the Qtum crowdsale has been a major success so far, we took the time to sit down with some of their team members. There are some questions regarding this project and its future, all of which have been answered by Jordan Earls, one of Qtums founders. The future of this project looks quite bright, and the interview below sheds a bit more light on what we can expect from Qtum moving forward.

TM: Bridging the gap between the best of Ethereum and Bitcoin is a bold goal. Some people may wonder if doing so really requires creating a brand new platform with a native token. How would you explain this thought process to less tech-savvy cryptocurrency enthusiasts?

JE: There are some other ways to combine Ethereum and Bitcoin, however, they have some significant drawbacks, one of the key ones being the lack of a functioning light wallet protocol (SPV) for these modes

TM: Are there specific types of dApps you hope to see realized by using Qtum? If so, who those types of dApps specifically?

JE: Our focus is Go Mobile and so one of our big hopes is to have completely decentralized apps that can be run (with a small front end) on mobile devices. Though we are compatible with Ethereum contracts, so we of course support many more use cases than just mobile

TM: What are the teams expectations for Qtum in terms of academic research?

JE: We have a PhD, Alex Norta, who is managing our academic research, and intend to open multiple academic research offices for Qtum globally

TM: The bitcointalk announcement makes a mention of cooperating with other open source development projects. Have any connections been made in this regard?

JE: No firm connections we can talk about yet, but our hope is to unify the different cryptocurrency communities, by the foundation trading a portion of their Qtum for a portion of the other cryptocurrencys coins. These tokens that are traded would be accessible by each community. So all Qtum holders would be entitled to a share of these traded tokens, and all of the other cryptocurrencys holders would be entitled to a share of Qtum

We would like to thank Jordan Earls for taking the time to answer our questions regarding the Qtum project.

Qtum Co-founder Jordan Earls: We Hope to Unify Different Cryptocurrency Communities - The Merkle

Currently, Bitcoin is experiencing high volatility that it maybe caused by the recent SEC impediment to create the first bitcoin ETF, or exchange traded fund.

Some people in the crypto community were confident about the U.S. Securities and exchange commission positive decision that this hope drove the price, allowing bitcoin to reach its new all time highs.

Then, the SEC announcement about its decision to reject the Winklevoss proposal affected the bitcoin and other digital currencies market, but - after a first drop - the greatest part of the digital currencies are currently experiencing new highs.

Right now, Ether, or the cryptocurrency that fuels the Ethereum blockchain, reached its new all time high with a price of $40 at present time.

That said, leaving aside the price-related matters, the SEC decision opened another important question: can bitcoin and other digital currencies survive without any approval by institutions? Is it true - as said by Bank of Canada - that it cannot reach a massive diffusion without any formal regulation?

Of course, I dont have a crystal ball, but for me Bitcoin - with capital B, or the technology behind it: the blockchain - will have a prosperous future.

Its importance goes far beyond bitcoin and payment transactions as this is just one - and the most banal - of its application.

Davide Menegaldo, COO at Helperbit, said:

The same thing happens with the Ethereum blockchain. Ether is only one of its possible applications, so people could not use ether as a method of direct payment, but the main important revolution brought by Ethereum are the so-called smart contracts and we will hear a lot about them in the next future.

Smart contracts, in fact, allow a huge possibility of applications. They are computer protocols that have the main purpose of executing the terms of a contract in order to satisfy common contractual conditions without the need of trusted intermediaries.

This way, smart contracts can be used as the deepest layer of any kind of application development and not just to set payment-related transactions.

According to Leonardo Pedretti (Ethereum Italia and Etherevolution), in five years from now, Ethereum will be the undiscussed leader as the main platform to be used for development and smart contract execution:

Everyday we experience the birth of a new digital currency, but only a few will survive in the next future, as said by our friends above.

Two of those crypto might be Dash and Zcash (ZEC) that recently experienced new higher prices.

At present time, Dash and Zcash have respectively a value of $100 and $70. Of course their monetary values mean nothing in terms of what will happen in future, but we can say that they are showing a high interest.

Also, Zcash provides a revolutionary cryptocurrency that is fully anonymous, so the data showed on the blockchain doesnt provide any info about the amount or the people involved in the transaction. This feature may could be vital for Zcash future because no other digital currency - together with Monero (XMR) - allows this kind of complete anonymity and privacy.

Today Monero ($123) reached the fourth place according to its market capitalization ($255.773.115), right after bitcoin, ether and dash. Created back in 2014, it soon doubled - and then quadrupled - its price. This renewed interested in the Monero currency might be caused by the low bitcoin scalability. In fact, it is faster and with lower fees than bitcoin.

This means that if the scalability-related issue of bitcoin wont be solved soon (Hard-fork scenario), altcoins will increase their value, popularity and market cap, so they will be more used as payment gateway, while bitcoin will be more and more exploited as a store of value. But this only if the block size debate wont be solved soon...

Of course, as I said, we can only do speculations and predictions as we dont really know what can happen next, but according to me Bitcoin and blockchains will be never forgotten and will be more and more used in the next five years.
