SmartOne Launches ICO For Blockchain-based Legal Services Marketplace

The crypto community will soon be able to access legal services on the world’s first decentralized legal marketplace, utilizing a tokenized system to seek out and engage top global law firms with specialized expertise in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.

Dubbed SmartOne, the online marketplace will be the first of its kind to connect members of the crypto community with expert lawyers and firms offering virtual advice and legal counsel over the blockchain.

Legal clarification for the crypto community

The world of traditional venture capital has experienced nothing short of a major technology disruption since 2016, with Initial Coin Offerings (ICO) raising massive amounts of funding for startups and new blockchain projects, far outstripping the levels of conventional financing.

The attention-grabbing successes of ICOs have raised alarms throughout the global finance and banking system, with regulators concerned over the legitimacy and security of these crowdsales. Apart from stepping up anti money laundering (AML) and know-your-client (KYC) procedures, however, the extent to which ICOs are legally compliant remains vague, as there exists no current national or international regulations that govern their regulations.

Altcoins Price Analysis: Bitcoin Pump is Slaughter for Altcoins

Despite the opinion that altcoin prices will pump with the downfall of Bitcoin, it seems cancellation of the SegWit2x fork has negatively influenced other cryptocurrencies as well.

However, most experts still think the price tendency for altcoins will be opposite to that of Bitcoin. John MacPherson, a cryptocurrency expert, Anti-Fraud and Compliance Manager at Wall of Coins, a peer-to-peer market for buying and selling Bitcoin, stated to Coinidol:
“I think the slaughter on alts will remain as long as bitcoin is pumping because unless a comparable amount of money is dumped into an alt, the price rise in bitcoin will continue to drop the price of alts. When and if that bitcoin correction does happen, I believe alt season will open up again.”

DMD Coin: An Alternative Wealth Storing Solution

Some of the earliest cryptocurrencies are rebounding this year. There was the GroestlCoin that posted some really good growth in the last several months out of nowhere, its worth increasing several times over. Now Diamond (DMD) is also reinvigorating itself and may offer serious benefits for investors and miners alike.

But what is the Diamond DMD coin?

DMD is one of the oldest cryptocurrencies in the world. It started way back in June 2013, when Ethereum wasn’t even fully conceptualized and other coins like Litecoin were still in the early years.

DMD has a robust system and allows fast, secure transactions at negligible transactions costs. It also functions as an interest-bearing asset that increases your worth over time -- automatically. It aims to empowers more people to achieve financial independence. It is also an excellent storage for the longer period of time that is secured and supported by the network protocols, infrastructure and services.

There is a hard cap on the maximum number of DMD coins that can be mined. It is 4.38 million tokens and right now, after four years of mining, almost 2.5 million tokens have already been created. Block awards will decrease over time as the number of remaining tokens will decrease. Interest rates itself will decrease from 25% right now to 1% within 10 years, ending the era of easily-obtainable DMD coins.

Credits – New Ethereum Сompetitor

The crypto-industry development has reached an unprecedented scale, and even the latest Ethereum platform-based blockchain development (Ether) sometimes takes quite a long time to cope with processing such a large influx of transactions in a few minutes.

The main performance problems with existing blockchains

The steady increase in the number of transactions in the network leads to block overflow and to a delay in the confirmation of transactions for an indefinite time. As a result, participants do not always manage to use payments in everyday life, for example, they have to wait for the payment in a restaurant due to a number of inconveniences because of the constantly arising problems of working with the system:

· Low transaction processing speed;
· Low traffic (the number of transactions per second);
· High transaction commission;

The Credits platform is an original development for a new generation; based on blockchain technology, which is ready to solve the problems of speed and transaction costs which will expand the potential for the use of blockchain in both the financial industry and the Internet of things.

DropDeck.io - The Future of Funding is AI-driven, Decentralized, and Incentivized

“Everyone wants to fund promising companies. DropDeck wants to remove the barriers that keep average funders away from the greatest opportunities,” said the CEO Alon Vo,

“There are a lot of existing platforms for you to do that, but we want to build your favorite one. DropDeck is the one-stop shop that changes the way people fund companies worldwide.”

More and more companies are running ICOs, mostly operating overseas. Doing due diligence and verifying sources can be challenging. Some platforms rate and rank ICOs, but how the ratings are made, what they are based on, and by whom are often a blackbox. DropDeck seeks to fix this problem.

Recovering From A Rollercoaster Ride: Bitcoin price Seems To Go Up Again

Recent events appeared quite head-spinning for the entire Bitcoin community. The price was falling and rising, and then falling again, even lower than before.

However, now Bitcoin seems to have recovered its position along with its price. After rocketing down to the lowest bottom for the last couple of weeks ($5,600), BTC has significantly improved its position, and its price has increased back to over $6,900.

Generally, it is due to CME Group’s announcement of the launch of its bitcoin futures exchange. The company confirmed that the platform will start its work in December 2017. Moreover, BTC has got itself authoritative supporters, such as a billionaire Mike Novogratz and some other high-profile investors.

New Blockchain Startup Starbase Offers New Way To Connect Innovators And Investors

For startups and new invention concepts, finding any sort of substantial funding through VC investors has been painstaking. Rather than focusing on innovations and improving them, many business concept planners find themselves seeking funding slowly.

Many innovators are constantly frustrated by this process. Often, those who have conceived of the best ideas are either buried under the complexity of seeking funding, or their concepts are stolen by larger corporations who then take advantage of them, able to find faster access to higher scale funding.

This frustration among innovators has led to a substantial rise in crowdfunding platforms. Those platforms, though, are often under-funding, and can take substantial fees. The market is in need of a simple but elegant way for innovators to incentivize investors, pursue funding, and focus on fundamentals.

Starbase, a blockchain-based decentralized crowdfunding platform, has officially concluded an incredibly popular presale of the proprietary STAR tokens for the Starbase platform. The company is now preparing for the public sale portion of the ICO.

Starbase set a fixed hard cap of $10 million for the total ICO, and 80% was already raised very rapidly in the presale backed by Bitcoin Suisse. The public portion of the Starbase ICO will now begin on November 9 at 15:00 UTC, ending November 24 at the same time. The company has met all the full KYC/AML regulatory requirement, and the ICO is fully ready.

Still Afloat: Altcoin Prices Go Up Despite The Stall In BTC Downfall

Despite the previous gloomy predictions of altcoins prices falling with the pump of Bitcoin, they are steadily increasing. However, we haven’t seen the pump yet, but still, it is unlikely most altcoins will suffer that much, at least, for now.

CoinMarketCap shows quite bright data concerning the most popular altcoins. Ether’s price has increased by 2.40%. ETH now costs $335.81. For a Ripple coin, one will have to pay $0.210651, which is 1.93% more than previously. A similar situation may be observed with Litecoin - its price has increased by 4.52% ($64.06). Dash costs $431.61 (3.10%).
