CNM is Organizing BlockFiesta Blockchain Conference Event in Albuquerque

Central New Mexico Community College (CNM) in Albuquerque was founded in 1964. According to the recent news, CNM is hosting a one-day blockchain conference event on October 13, 2019.

The senior technology advisor of CNM, Bill Halverson said that this blockchain event is organized to help individuals, organizations, and businesses in knowing the ways to consolidate blockchain technology. He also continued that blockchain is one of the emerging technologies adopted globally. It provides accurate data and a unique decentralized code for recording the transactions safely. Blockchain plays a vital role in many sectors like health, education, finance, and government.

Blockchain is specially created to keep the records, ledgers, and locked blocks of information in such a way that there will be no change or corruption in data. The blockchain network users can check the ledgers as well as changes in the transactions. It helps the users to track and verify the complete information regarding the assets.

Cryptography secured the linked blocks and developed a blockchain with a record of all the transactions which has duplicates in every network computer. If new block information added to the blockchain and the information does not verify with other blocks then, that block gets removed from the blockchain. That is how it manages and shares the asset information online. This fantastic technology allows the use of Bitcoin as a cryptocurrency.

According to the news, CNM will be going to discuss the benefits of blockchain in the BlockFiesta conference. They will tell graduates the use of issuing digital diplomas. This method will help in sharing the diplomas to the employers and others with the help of mobile devices.

Halverson said that in this event, the educational providers would share the credentials to all the students across the world. It is the way to connect the sovereign and other identities with blockchain identity.

In this event, many local businesses will also participate in discussing their blockchain use. It will also help other attendees to know the way to apply for the blockchain and its services. The cost of the event for the students, seniors, and educational staff is $69 or $49.

Grayscale comprises Stellar as the newest Cryptocurrency Investment Trust

Digital cash investment channel Grayscale established it was successful enough to begin its newest finance and devoted mainly to Stellar’s Lumens (XLM) token, as per a tweet posted on the 17th of Jan.

“I am in the belief that the assumption is a good one,” he supposed concerning Stellar’s trading proposal to connect crypto to fiat cash alterations, continuing:

“A U.S. based bank might be maintaining huge quantities of cash in overseas banks, and it is highly important to pass those valuable balances of overseas cash on a balance sheet as working capital is very much essential and beneficial at the same time. It is not however fully mandatory for fiscal trading agencies and institutions to contain cash balances throughout the entire place. This is, in turn, going to progress the effectiveness and sustaining the balance sheets for additional utilizers.”

The ‘Blockchain Island’- Malta to offer a Blockchain Bank Soon

The ‘Blockchain Island’- Malta to offer a Blockchain Bank Soon

The Blockchain Island along with its rich cultural history and heritage is making its presence in the throbbing world of cryptocurrency. After becoming an all-embracing home for iGaming industry (this industry is roughly worth around 1.4 Billion dollars, and it makes 12 percent of Malta’s GDP); Malta is now setting its foot in the cryptocurrency banking sector.

The Blockchain Island is looking forward to establishing a bank that will serve crypto-based companies, Blockchain based companies, and along with that individual with high net worth will be served too. On the other hand, OK group’s investment dept. and OK Blockchain Capital Limited revealed that it is a pivotal investor in RnF Finance Limited. (RnF is a company in Malta that seeks to act as a credit institution by applying with the Malta Financial Services Authority.)

Roderick Psaila, the CEO and founder of RnF, Malta, has been serving in the banking industry for over 28 years now. He is the man behind starting several banks in the Blockchain island in the last ten years. He has also served as the CEO of AgriBank (A licensed credit institution in Malta.) As per reports from CCN, Psaila expressed his views on the upcoming Blockchain Bank. He assured that proper banking services will be offered to the clients, once the bank starts to operate. He further gave details on the bank services which comprises of four types of services i.e. 1. ‘Banking services to the corporates’, 2. ‘Lending services’, 3. ‘Private banking services’, and 4. ‘The wealth management services.’ Psaila shone a light on the targets of the bank too. He said that the bank especially aims to serve big corporate and private clients. He further explained that the bank’s thinking is not to deny any industry in the first place, but rather each case will be given unique and due attention it deserves. This exclusive attention style of the bank should offer crypto exchanges and Blockchain companies that are offering security tokens with a chance to be treated like other companies; Psaila thinks.

The Blockchain based bank targets to invest strongly in Blockchain technology and also in the ‘Artificial intelligence’ (AI) specifically during the first year of its commencement. This special focus is to attract several clients from the mentioned sectors. This will be done along with carrying out the risk-based compliance assessment by the bank.

The founding partner of OK Blockchain Capital Limited- Ms. Tian Ying expressed her delight in joining hands with Roderick and his team of bankers. She expressed the company’s excitement for partnering in the promising project f new banking venture in Malta.

The Chief Risk Officer and Head of Govt. Relations of OK Group- Mr. Tim Byun said that Malta is being the first country to efficiently regulate the Blockchain industry. He further added his company’s excitement to be involved with RnF Finance Limited for this very unique Banking venture. He thinks that the efficient regulatory structure and knack of support for the new industries in Malta, is going to create several more interesting opportunities on the Blockchain Island.

It is reported that around June or July next year, we will be able to see RnF initiate its banking operations after getting regulatory approval.

On July 4, 2018, Malta became the first and only country to get three new crypto bills passed in Law. This establishment encouraged a regulatory structure for Blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and DLT. This year the country also held its long-awaited ‘Malta Blockchain Summit.’ For this summit, the Blockchain strategist and member of Malt’s National Blockchain Task Force- Steve Tendon said that this international platform will witness Malta’s intention to recognize “Legal Personality” to the innovative technology arrangements such as DAOs. He further added- “This is an innovation in law making that will support innovation as no other law has ever done.”

Malta didn’t stop at getting three laws passed, rather the country has a detailed National Blockchain Strategy constructed by Tendon. The strategy covers vision, strategies (such as Public Blockchain services, R & D, Education and innovation, e-Residency, cryptocurrency regulation, smart govt. Projects, and regulatory infrastructure), and Goal of 10 percent of Malta GDP by 2027. Tendon further added-

“This will undoubtedly attract all the developers and entrepreneurs who are working on decentralized technologies of all kinds, such as new generation of Blockchains, decentralized exchanges, decentralized ICO platforms, decentralized banking services and so on.”

Malta being the pioneer in the Blockchain industry is a source of encouragement for other governments to regulate the crypto landscape rather than to fear the new technology. The smart forward approach on crypto and Blockchain regulation and banking system of Malta has encouraged several Blockchain based companies to join hands with Malta. Earlier this month, Binance which is one of the big shots among the multibillion-dollar cryptocurrency trading platforms has opened a bank account in Malta.

Malta’s advancements and intentions on crypto regulations sit in perfect alignment with G-20’s line of thought. The summit took place in Buenos Aires early this December. As per the forum-

“We will regulate crypto assets for anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism in line with Financial Action Task Force (FATF) standards and we will consider other responses as needed.”

Asus Partners With Quantumcloud to Allow Gamers Mine Crypto with Idle GPU Power

Asus Partners With Quantumcloud to Allow Gamers Mine Crypto with Idle GPU Power

Technology giant ASUS is now planning to make it possible for gamers to use the extra power to process their existing graphics cards to gain profits by introducing ways to mine cryptocurrency. Recently, in an official announcement, the Taiwanese company stated that they are entering into a partnership with Quantumcloud, a crypto mining app. In this partnership, both ASUS and Quantumcloud are going to allow gamers to gain passive income by legally accessing their ASUS graphic cards (also called as GPUs). These cards are currently not being used much for related functions of PC.

According to Quantumcloud’s website, with the usage of this mining app, the ASUS graphic cards which are owned by different gamers on the network shall be used to powerup cloud-based crypto miners to generate huge profit. And, these GPU owners will be given a percentage for each and every ticket that got mined, based on the total amount of power that they are going to provide. ASUS also gave an assurance that the financial data would be held in complete privacy and would get huge protection under the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). Being the leading manufacturer in Graphics cards in the global market, ASUS said that they are properly positioned to be a fine distribution agent for the mining app Quantumcloud, that pays its customers depending on how effective their systems could be, especially at mining cryptocurrencies.

On an annual basis, ASUS will take the responsibility of producing a humongous number of high-end quality graphics. The company also possesses a vast user base, which would be good enough to gain a passive income once they start accessing it by installing the mining platform Quantumcloud software. On the other side, Quantumcloud will not entertain its users to develop unique IDs to withdraw profits, and rather the users can sign into their PayPal, WeChat accounts and get their earnings transferred straight into these platforms. The company’s official blog also showed that the company has been able to integrate cryptocurrency mining, fiat transfers, digital wallet management, and other currency conversions into their software through backend services. However, they stated that there couldn’t be any guarantee that every user is going to earn profits through this procedure.

According to their official announcement, the company cautioned all the gamers that, “Performance of the cryptocurrency will decide the earning rates and none can guarantee, influenced in any way to Quantumcloud company.”

Crypto miners are usually fond of mining individually with their unique graphics cards or GPUs by pooling them together with the use of proper dedicated software. However, GPUs cannot mine Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies effectively. The cryptocurrencies generally require ASICs, a kind of specialized integrated chips so that they can be mined profitably since the difficulty and complexity involved in mining them are too much for regular graphics cards (GPUs) to handle.
