    Hello my dear forum member. Happy 2018!

    This is Secco, admin of Bitcoin Garden Forum, writing. Welcome to this new edition of the Bitcoin Garden Newsletter. Today crypto market seems to be bloody-red, so I would like to start this newsletter with a tip. It may seem stupid and trivial, but please remember: not everyone has altruistic goals when they offer up their opinion and advice! Always do your own research!

    RIPPLE AND BITCOIN GIVEAWAY! The tokener will award 3 contestants 50 USD value in XRP and/or BTC each. Gleam platform, 12 days left. Entering just takes a few clicks, so you may want to test your luck and give it a try: https://wn.nr/3DERTz

    BITCOIN GIVEAWAY! Digital Asset University is giving away 0.05 BTC to one lucky user. Contest is closing in 4 days, enter here: https://wn.nr/82JQ9H

    VISA CRACK DOWN ON CRYPTO? As you may be aware, all Visa crypto credit cards issued by Wavescrest are blocked. The companies affected include Bitwala, Cryptopay, Wirex, and others. Visa declared to have other approved card programs that use fiat funds converted from cryptocurrency in a number of jurisdictions, so according to their statement it is not a crack down on crypto but just an action against a single company found to violate their rules. In any case, if you are looking for an alternate card provider, I would recommend Advcash that has been on the scene for a couple of years now and provides both virtual and physical Mastercard cards in EUR/USD/RUB with a wide number of funding options, including Bitcoin.

    KUCOIN EXCHANGE: Most crypto exchanges are stopping registrations because of too many users. Kucoin is one of the best exchanges that currently allows registration (daily trading volume above 300M USD). It also provides bonus for holding crypto. I would advice to signup as soon as possible, to avoid being out in case they also stop registration: https://bitcoingarden.org/data/clk/KucoinExchange.php

    PRIVATE $200 FREEROLL BY BREAKOUT POKER AND BITCOIN GARDEN: January 26, 2018 at 3:05 PM ET. Starting stack 3,000, unlimited rebuys, prize pool $200. Read all details here: https://bitcoingarden.org/forum/index.php?topic=25178.0

    HTMLCOIN NEW BLOCKCHAIN: Htmlcoin is migrating to a new blockchain (HTML 2.0). In case you own some old HTML5 coins you're advised to swap them as soon as possible. End of Swap is set for March 28, 2018 but please note that 1:1 swap ratio is available only till February 12, 2018, so if you haven't swapped already better you hurry up!

    INSANE COIN DEVELOPMENT STATUS: InsaneCoin, ticker INSN, PoS/PoW hybrid, is an extremely fun and "insane" project ran by a large fun-loving community. Insane is not a clone, or just a copy of some other coin. Although based on the widely used code that runs the Bitcoin network, insane has taken this code and made it all its own. The team has added masternodes, POS v3, darksend, adaptive block sizes and VRX to name a few and much more is on the way. In the past 10 days there has been some interesting volume on the markets (mostly on Cryptopia) and the price went back to the top levels of July 2017 (~26 cents per unit) after reaching the all time high of 45 cents on January 11, 2017. The network is working fine and the wallets works perfectly, however there are two problems that slowed down the roadmaps plans. One is about difficult retargeting (that make INSN extremely hard to mine/stake) and the other is affecting masternodes rewards. Since the code is mostly exclusive and there has been a turnover with the lead developer (CryptoCoderz left, Mrok tookover) the fix are taking a lot of time, but I think they are not far from being released. You can see the latest news about the development status here: https://bitcoingarden.org/forum/index.php?topic=11065.msg229350#msg229350
