Investing & Make Money Discussion / New NFT Gaming Genre - m$ports (Money Sports) launched by AnRKey

« on: March 14, 2021, 10:52:16 PM »

How the game works was that whoever has the highest aggregate APY distribution of their native Ethereum-based token, ANRX will be the winning team.

Even though the winning team is rewarded with more unique NFTs, all players are going to be getting returns on their staked tokens. Everyone’s a winner, in other words. Essentially, AnRKey X is offering people a place to invest their crypto, with a community that will grow and stay actively engaged based on an NFT game. Battle Wave 2323 is scheduled for mainnet launch at the end of Q1 with over 11,500 registered sign ups.

Pretty interesting game and having the chance to be rewarded with NFTs itself - which is the hottest trend right now.

Crypto Discussion / First U.S. public company to mine BTC staked $5m in ETH 2.0 as digital asset tre

« on: March 12, 2021, 08:16:03 AM »

An early pioneer in blockchain technology, BTCS in 2014 was the first U.S. public company to mine bitcoin. Then, in 2017, BTCS created a first of its kind digital asset treasury strategy which is now being widely employed by companies such as Tesla, Square, and MicroStrategy. Now, BTCS is the first U.S. public company to run validator nodes on ethereum 2.0. We see this strategy as driving strong near-term revenue growth with the added benefit of being more profitable than traditional bitcoin mining while also enabling additional future revenue-generating services. 

“Over seven years as a public company, BTCS has been on the cutting edge of the blockchain technology sector,” said Charles Allen, Chief Executive Officer of BTCS. “Now we have a balance sheet with over $2.8 million in cash and approximately $9 million in crypto-currencies to execute on our vision.”

“Our transaction verification services operation should drive strong near-term revenue growth,” continued Allen. “We believe in the future of ‘smart-crypto’ and see ethereum, which is transitioning to a proof-of-stake consensus algorithm, as the flagship of smart-crypto blockchains. Less resource intensive than proof-of-work verification services, proof-of-stake validation provides attractive economics. Our goal is to build a growing network of BTCS actively operated validators, ultimately positioning us to offer additional services in the future.”

IMO, I'm glad that the time has finally come where institutions and publicly traded companies are already seeing crypto (mainly BTC & ETH) as a digital asset treasury and a better way to put their cash reserves.

Is this a smart move by these companies or is it better to store them in other less-volatile assets?

Cryptocurrency Gaming & Gambling / #1 NFT Seller - AnRKey X Takes NFT Platform Rarible By Storm

« on: March 11, 2021, 12:18:24 AM »

In the past few days, NFT marketplace Rarible has seen a new number one. The top sellers’ list is dominated by DeFi gaming platform AnRKey X, which has comprehensively taken over the NFT leaderboard with no celebrity attached as well. AnRKey X achieved a sales volume of over double its closest NFT selling competitor and is planning even more NFTs (non-fungible tokens) due to go on sale in the next few days. Notably, they oversold presale with $450,000 of orders. With cryptocurrency-powered digital art on track for another record month, AnRKey X is enjoying its time to shine.

GenSys.X Launch Breaks Records

AnRKey X provides a way for gamers to purchase, play, stake, compete, and win valuable NFTs and rewards. On March 3, AnRkey X dropped its GenSys.X NFT collection. In just an hour, GenSys.X pushed the project to the number one spot on Rarible.com. Such was the level of demand that the site crashed while only 35% of the way through processing pre-sale bids.

The popularity of the GenSys.X drop continued through the day, with NFTs selling out at an incredible pace. By the end of the day, AnRKey X had sold over 120 ETH worth of NFTs (almost $200k); in contrast, the next bestseller achieved less than half that. AnRKey X was immediately sitting in “hot collections” on Raribles (and still is) with 3 of their NFTs out of the set entering the “Hot Bids” section for secondary market trading within minutes of being sold. Secondary market sales hit up to $47,000 per NFT, a 13,602% increase from the original $343 per NFT price.

Question to everyone, are NFTs the future of gaming in the blockchain?

Crypto Discussion / DeFi + eSports + NFTs

« on: February 15, 2021, 05:18:19 PM »

I think the future is looking bright for NFTs and Gaming in the crypto space. Battle Wave 2323™ is a game that the team developed in order to encourage players to perform liquidity mining by pitting them against each other in competing virtual Pool Armies, as they fight to generate the most liquidity and APY. There are 9 pool armies in total, which are represented by different characters and the top liquidity pools on Uniswap — but only one will come out on top!

This was built on top of Unity (Makers of Fall Guys, Hearthstone, etc.) Will we see more crypto-related games coming from other big sport companies in the future? (EA, Valve, etc.)

Crypto Discussion / STP Network to Launch STP 2.0 on Polkadot

« on: February 02, 2021, 03:53:12 PM »

STP Network has announced that its new iteration of its protocol will feature the synthetic tokenization of assets on Polkadot. It will also give users access to multi-chain assets and new financial products on different blockchains, without expensive bridge fees or heavy overcollateralization.

The launch of STP 2.0 is planned for the end of Q1 2021 and the new Standard Tokenization Protocol is expected to be fully functional by Q3 2021.

• Key features of STP 2.0:
• Cross-chain tokenization
• Multi-chain index
• Built on the Polkadot infrastructure

STP 2.0's new cross-chain tokenization will facilitate the issuance and trading of ST-Assets between major blockchain platforms, providing users with more opportunities in decentralized finance including a wider range of products and increased liquidity.

The new Standard Tokenization Protocol will also allow users to issue and access multi-chain indices that track the performance of a group of assets across multiple blockchain platforms. Users will be able to leverage this index and employ a range of tools to interact with other decentralized protocols, such as automated market makers (AMMs) and lending protocols.

STP 2.0 will be entirely built upon the existing Polkadot platform and will take advantage of its cross-chain capabilities and parachain infrastructure. The goal of this is to allow for increasingly faster and cheaper transactions in the crowded Ethereum ecosystem.

Investors tend to look at Polkadot as the next Ethereum where projects build their network, is it a good direction to go with the Polkadot ecosystem?

Crypto Discussion / Navcoin Core 6.0 fully-tested and ready

« on: January 17, 2021, 11:17:23 PM »

The launch of NAV's very much awaited new private coin xNAV was kickstarted two weeks ago on January 1st with the publishing of the Navcoin Core 6.0 release candidate binaries.
After being able to get the builds battle-tested on mainnet during the testing period, the builds have shown to be stable and with no major reported issues.
As of today, NAv is ready to make the final version available for the community to download from their Github releases page.

What’s new
Nav's latest release brings improvements to governance and security, and also allows NavCoin to make significant upgrades to privacy and coin utility through the development of xNAV, their new private token. xNAV is supported by our novel blsCT protocol which brings an efficient and privacy-respecting currency to life, and allows anyone to take control of their financial transactions while retaining their anonymity.

User security is greatly enhanced by the introduction of full wallet encryption allowing wallet transaction data to be fully encrypted. This works in unison with our cold staking functionality, which allows staking to be carried out by offline wallets, further reducing the risk of security flaws and helping to secure all users’ funds.

Crypto Discussion / What the Bittrex Privacy Coin Delisting Means?

« on: January 07, 2021, 09:27:48 AM »

Bittrex exchange announced just days ago that it plans to remove trading pairs involving the Monero, Zcash, and Dash privacy coins.

The exchange will remove the following markets on Friday, January 15, 2021, at 23:00 UTC.

• BTC-XMR, ETH-XMR, USDT-XMR
• BTC-ZEC, ETH-ZEC, USDT-ZEC, USD-ZEC
• BTC-DASH, ETH-DASH, USDT-DASH, USD-DASH

Bittrex has also announced that its users may receive up to 30 days to withdraw the delisted coins; however, this withdrawal period may be shortened. This has been a somewhat sudden decision, and is actually not in keeping with the sentiment of established and regulatory compliant exchanges such as Gemini and Kraken.

Following the announcement, Gemini CEO Tyler Winklevoss took to Twitter to show his support for Zcash, a privacy protocol with public and private transaction capabilities which shares a similar ethos to our NAV/xNAV coins. Kraken CEO Jesse Powell has also voiced his opinion on Twitter stating that there is little regulatory rationale behind the decision, and the delistings are specific to the business practices of Bittrex exchange.

The exchange saw its application for a virtual currency and money transmitter license being rejected by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) in April 2019 and one of the reasons given was the failure to meet licensing requirements related to deficiencies in Bittrex’s BSA/AML/OFAC compliance program.

It’s important to note that the NYDFS has cleared the listing of Zcash on exchanges such as Gemini, and the decision by Bittrex does not affect NavCoin in any way. The Perkins-Coie whitepaper featuring privacy by default coins like Monero highlights that regulated entities can remain compliant with anti money laundering (AML) legislations while supporting privacy coins.

As a result, there is a legal framework supporting the listing of privacy coins and these delistings are a decision that is being taken solely by Bittrex exchange. However, we would like to reiterate that initially only the public NAV coin will be traded on centralized exchanges (CEXs).

Read more about the whole article here.

Will this affect the prices of these coins? How will it affect them long-term? Hopefully other exchanges don't do the same thing.

Crypto Discussion / NAV's new coin launchmap

« on: December 30, 2020, 07:19:12 AM »

The first consequence of implementing blsCT in the NavCoin network will be the creation of a new coin; Nav have decided to name this coin xNAV. It will provide functionality from within their  core wallet to freely swap between NAV and xNAV at a 1 to 1 rate. Users will be able to swap between NAV and xNAV at any time, and back and forth as needed. While NAV will keep being the public coin used for transparent payments, staking and voting, xNAV will make payment details hidden from external observers, unless you authorize someone to see the transaction history.

Are these 1:1's/new coins of existing coins becoming the trend now?
