What is a public sale/IEO?

In brief, an Initial Exchange Offering, commonly referred to as an IEO, is a fundraising event that is administered by an exchange. In contrast to an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) where the project team themselves conduct the fundraising, an Initial Exchange Offering means that the fundraising will be conducted on a well-known exchange’s fundraising platform, similar to the upcoming Bitcoin.com Exchange Launchpad, where users can purchase tokens with funds directly from their own exchange wallet.

Bitcoin.com Exchange Acquires BOA Exchange To Reach New Markets

by

Announced earlier this week, the two companies said the deal is expected to be finalized immediately, without disclosing the financial terms.

BOA Exchange is a crypto exchange that has accumulated a vast user base, offering free alt tokens in airdrops and staking coins. The deal further expands the reach of Bitcoin.com exchange into the underserved Eastern European and Southern Asia marketplaces. BOA Exchange came onto the scene in 2018 during the height of the ICO craze making a name for itself in the altcoin and airdrop marketplace, offering cheap listings and a plethora of free tokens to its members.

Danish Chaudhry, Head of Bitcoin.com Exchange stated: “We are pleased to have made this acquisition at this time, as it furthers our reach into the European and Asian markets as we witness a consolidation in the crypto exchange space.”

Sources close to the deal told the news source the deal will consist of a straight crypto transaction with an undisclosed amount of Bitcoin Cash (BCH). In terms of how the transition will pan out, users will soon be going to exchange.bitcoin.com to check their balances. However, users at BOA Exchange will have time to either withdraw their tokens from the old exchange and signup to exchange.bitcoin.com to easily transition to the new platform.

Bitcoin.com Exchange also said that the acquisition comes at a great inflection point in the industry, with new traders across the globe adopting crypto and speculating it due to current circumstances of further trust in the market. The exchange has said that it has seen a plethora of new signups, ranging from beginner to advanced traders over the past couple of months. This could also be due to the new margin trading capabilities available within the exchange.

Bitcoin.com Exchange to List Aspire and Aspire Gas as Newest Digital Asset Creation Platform Comes to Market 

by

Aspire (ASP) is the first digital asset creation platform to resist both mining exploits and 51 percent attacks common to proof-of-work blockchains. Its fees are a tiny fraction of creating assets on Ethereum or other platforms due to its innovative Aspire Gas (GASP) blockchain

Both tokens will be introduced with BTC and USDT trading pairs, with more pairs to follow in the short-term.

Bitcoin.com Exchange is thrilled to announce the upcoming listing of two new digital assets: Aspire (ASP) and Aspire Gas (GASP) on the 30th of September 2020 at 10:00 UTC. Both tokens were created by Aspire Technology, under the leadership of core developer Jim Blasko, a proof-of-work innovator since 2012.

What is Aspire Technology?

Aspire Technology is a leading developer of digital asset creation technologies. It was incubated by the bCommerce Labs accelerator fund and other angel investors. The Aspire platform, which consists of the Aspire (ASP) digital asset creation platform and Aspire Gas (GASP) blockchain, is the first digital asset creation platform to resist both mining exploits and 51 percent attacks that are common to proof-of-work blockchains.

The Aspire platform improves upon the standard Counterparty open-source code, but grafts in an automated checkpoint server to prevent 51 percent attacks that have caused many other blockchains to be attacked and lose funds. Aspire is also not subject to miner attacks. Many other platforms have suffered one of these two common exploits that Aspire is immune from.

Why should one choose ASP & GASP?

Aspire (ASP) improves on speed, cost, and security for creating both fungible and non-fungible (NFT) tokens. It allows professional developers and hobbyists alike to create extensive digital assets involving up to 92 billion tokens per asset, as well as unlimited sub-assets, with no programming experience required, for about a dollar per asset. Aspire Gas (GASP) powers Aspire transactions for thousandths of a penny per transaction.

Cost Effective Asset Transactions

Aspire uses very small fractions of GASP for all transactions of digital tokens/assets sent on the Aspire network. gAsp currently charges 1 satoshi per byte when creating a transaction. These low fees allow for thousands of transactions with a single GASP, thus creating an extremely cost-effective way for sending small or large amounts of assets/tokens. Aspire is far more affordable than Counterparty, Maidsafe, Omni, Ethereum, Ravencoin, NEO, or any other digital asset platform.

Speed

The gAsp core and its increased speed allows for secure confirmations that average about 2 minutes, which is 5x faster than Counterparty or Bitcoin. The gAsp’s core is built on PoW (Proof Of Work) via scrypt mining and is designed for processing all of Aspire’s transactions onto one secure blockchain. All transactions of digital assets created on Aspire will always confirm at least 4x faster than Bitcoin’s 10 minute block time.

Security

By implementing advanced checkpoints into gAsp’s core, Aspire assets will be free of double spending, 51% attacks, and hostile takeovers of the blockchain. This is a first in asset creation platforms and gives Aspire the ultimate protection from malicious attacks.

On Aspire, anyone can create assets at an extremely low price and in under two minutes. Currently the cost to do this is 10 Aspire coins (ASP), which are currently offered for free for a limited time through the Aspire bounty program. In addition, Aspire is 5x faster than Bitcoin. One Aspire Gas coin (GASP) allows more than 300,000 transactions of any asset created on Aspire.

Strong Endorsement

Danish Chaudhry, Head of Bitcoin.com Exchange, shared his views on the Aspire platform and what he’s looking forward to most in the relationship: “I’ve followed the team behind Aspire, and the platform upon launch for quite some time now. It is an incredible platform, not only because of its speed, but the core technology implemented. The focus and dedication given in this project is unparalleled, and their all-star team is by far one of the strongest in the industry. Excited to welcome ASP and GASP into our ranks.”

Jim Blasko, CEO and Co-Founder of Aspire, added: “We are very proud that Bitcoin.com will be the first exchange to take on trading pairs for GASP and ASP, the native cryptos of the Aspire platform. By working with Bitcoin.com, Aspire and its amazing asset creation tools now fall into the hands of millions of new users. Our goal was to make crypto asset creation better in every way possible for the user, and this partnership is another stepping stone in the natural organic growth of Aspire. Today’s milestone ensures that future assets created on Aspire can be supported via Bitcoin.com’s exchange.”

Michael Terpin, Co-Founder and Chairman of Aspire also added: “Ordinary consumers will drive the next massive wave of crypto adoption, just as they did in the second decade of the web. Aspire is poised to become the leading digital asset creation platform globally by combining ease of use with high speed and near-zero fees. We believe in the very near future, most people will have dozens of digital assets they interact with regularly.”

BCH Hash Watch: Majority of Miners Signal BCHN, Coinex Exchange Announces Futures

Bitcoin Cash proponents have recently noticed that the last 612 blocks or more than 61% of the last 1,000 blocks have been mined using BCHN, according to Coin Dance statistics. Moreover, data also shows that 82% of Bitcoin Cash hashpower is signaling BCHN, as the prominent miners Btc.com and Antpool have started signaling.

BCH fans are patiently waiting as there’s 53 days left until the November 15th Bitcoin Cash upgrade. News.Bitcoin.com reported on September 1, on how there’s a high chance the BCH blockchain will bifurcate into two networks.

At that time, our newsdesk detailed how prominent members of the BCH community bid the Bitcoin ABC developers farewell, and a number of mining operations began signaling the node BCHN.

BCH Hash Watch: Majority of Miners Signal BCHN, Coinex Exchange Announces Futures
61.19% of the last 1,000 blocks are mined using the BCHN full node software, according to data stemming from Coin Dance.

Today, Coin Dance statistics show 612 out of the last 1,000 blocks have been mined using the BCHN full node software. Toward the end of September, two new pools joined the fray of BCHN signalers, as Btc.com and Antpool started signaling BCHN in their coinbase parameters.

This means currently 82% of the entire BCH hashrate has been signaling BCHN. Pools included in this group include Binance, Antpool, Btc.com, Btc.top, Bitcoin.com, Huobi, Okex, MY7A, easy2mine, and Bejn.

BCH Hash Watch: Majority of Miners Signal BCHN, Coinex Exchange Announces Futures

During the last 12 hours, around 2.6 exahash per second (EH/s) of hashrate has been directed at the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) chain. Additionally, the trading platform Coinex revealed contingency plans for the upcoming upgrade, as the announcement mentions the possibility of a network split.

Coinex also announced the introduction of futures slated to drop on September 24. Bitcoin Cash supporters will also be waiting for other exchanges to reveal contingency plans as well going forward.

The futures listed on the crypto trading platform Coinflex show ABC versus BCH futures are still 10-to-1 in favor of BCH. While BCHN blocks crossed the 60% range, BCH supporters on the Reddit forum r/btc discussed the changes. Many expect the number of BCHN-mined blocks to increase during the next few weeks.

One Redditor noted that since Antpool just recently joined with 20% of the hashrate, the “[seven] day average should reach ~75% in [five or six] days time.”

What do you think about the hashpower signaling BCHN and the recent futures announcement from Coinex? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.

Ticino Blockchain Technologies Association Has Been Established

by

Lugano, 10 September 2020 – The Ticino Blockchain Technologies Association aims to promote research and support innovative companies active in the Blockchain sector, as well as to promote academic studies of this new technology, thanks to the participation of USI (University of Southern Switzerland) and SUPSI (The University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland).

Blockchain is today a much-discussed technology. It is often said, as with the advent of the Internet, that this technology could change many things with a direct impact on a variety of sectors through improvements in supply chains, financial and payment systems, notary businesses, business processes and governments. These are time-consuming processes that require research, new skills, training, investment, experimentation, and a change of mindset.

As in the rest of the world, also in Ticino, Blockchain is gradually gaining considerable interest, as evidenced by the establishment of several international companies. This trend has led academia and private enterprises to establish a dialogue aimed at creating a competence center whose goal is to promote research and training and thus encourage the creation of new companies and new skilled jobs.

TBTA’s founding partners are Bitcoin.com, Copernicus Holding SA, Eligma Ltd. (GoCrypto), Euronovate SA, Eventboost SA, Pangea Blockchain Fund, Poseidon Group, Quadrans Foundation, StrongBlock.io, Superflat SA and Swiss Blockchain Consortium. In addition, there are two academic partners: the University of Southern Switzerland (offering the expertise of its Computer Systems Institute and the Master of Science in Financial Technology and Computing) and the Innovative Technologies Department of the Information Systems and Networking Institute (SUPSI) that offers Certificates of Advanced Studies in Blockchain and Fintech.

The non-profit association aims to foster organic growth of the blockchain ecosystem at the Swiss and international levels. “We are very pleased to have prestigious international companies among the members of the association able to drive innovation in this region together with partners already active in Ticino,” said Ing. Giacomo Poretti, President of the Association and Senior Lecturer-researcher in SUPSI’s DTI Innovative Technologies Department. “This platform is important not only for Ticino, but for the whole of Switzerland, companies and academic institutions join forces to achieve innovative solutions together, driving digital change with creative ideas.” Giacomo Poretti is joined by William Duplessie, Brunello Pianca, Maggie Rokkum-Testi and Lars Schlichting in the executive committee.

Stefano Rizzi, Director of the Economics Division of the Department of Finance and Economics (DFE) and Vice President of the Agire Foundation, says: “This choice is consistent with the economic development strategy adopted by the Canton, which focuses on key concepts such as innovation and networking of skills in Ticino. Through synergies between state-of-the-art companies and research institutes, Ticino can also play an important role in promising blockchain-related technologies, with positive impacts in terms of employment and economic growth. The Canton of Ticino was an early promoter through the establishment of the “Swiss Blockchain Federation” of which it is a founding member. Thanks to this step at the federal level, we have been able to contribute to the definition of the legal basis aimed at increasing the attractiveness and competitiveness of our economy.”

Boas Erez, Rector of the USI, also adheres with great interest to this collaboration: “I believe very much in the value of partnership-based research initiatives for the University and for Ticino: today knowledge is not only found in research institutes, it is distributed more widely. These structured cooperations with companies allow us to expand our multidisciplinary expertise – in this case in Economics and Computer Science – and our impact on the territory.”

Emanuele Carpanzano, Director of SUPSI’s Department of Innovative Technologies (DTI), said: “We strongly believe in working with the different players in our territory and we support initiatives that foster new synergies between academia and the industrial world. DTI works daily to develop innovative IT skills and solutions in the IT industry and related enabling technologies including the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain. We find these skills in the numerous interdisciplinary projects carried out by our research institutes with local companies active in a variety of sectors, as well as in training, as demonstrated by the soon to be launched Bachelor in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. We consider Blockchain technology to be of significant interest going forward, in light of the many application areas associated with it, and we therefore welcome the birth of a new association that brings togetherinterdisciplinary actors and skills present in Ticino.”
