Вторая четверть 2020 для LocalBitcoins

Segundo tremestre de LocalBitcoins en el 2020

It is still summer in the Northern Hemisphere, but this year has been action-packed for Bitcoiners so far and we feel like it is passing so quickly! Let’s now take a moment to look back at the highlights of the second quarter of 2020 in LocalBitcoins. See the most important Q1.2020 numbers here.

Between April and June, approximately 2.8 million trades were successfully completed in LocalBitcoins — hurray, and keep on keeping on! During that time, we had a bit more than 5000 resolved disputes with an average resolution time of 36 hours.

Those completed trades moved an average of 19,800 BTC per month, which shows an increase in comparison with Q1.2020. Our users have also sent and received nearly 800,000 external transactions each month in Q2.2020, excluding transactions between LocalBitcoins wallets!

Bank transfers were the most popular payment methods of this period, followed by the e-wallet Qiwi, widely used in Russia. Bank transfers are a very convenient payment method for buyers and sellers and involve relatively low risk. But LocalBitcoins also supports many other payment methods to make Bitcoin trading easily accessible to everyone, including those who don’t have or don’t want to use a bank account for trading.

The list of top trading countries in LocalBitcoins during Q2.2020 shows that peer-to-peer Bitcoin trading remains strong in Russia, Venezuela, and Colombia. The honorable mentions of Q2.2020 go to Argentina that made it to the top 12 list this time, and to Nigeria that also ranked higher in comparison with Q1.2020!

1.Russia

2.Venezuela

3.Colombia

4. United Kingdom

5. United States

6. Nigeria

7. China

8. India

9. South Africa

10. Peru

Lightning Payments Easier Than Ever
By: Dario Sneidermanis
Tags: Lightning Network, Bitcoin, Bitcoin Wallet, Cryptocurrency, Product

Over the last couple of months, the Lightning Network attracted a lot of attention and many people made their first payments. We are all eager to find the products and services that allow us to learn about and experiment with Lightning. Wallets are at the forefront of this search.

As of today, you can make non-custodial Lightning payments using Muun. It requires zero channel configuration: all you need to do is make sure you have bitcoins in your wallet and scan the Lightning invoice you want to pay. Muun will automatically recognize it as an off-chain invoice and guide you all the way through the payment.

Underneath a super easy payment flow, a submarine swap is occurring. Submarine swaps allow users who hold on-chain bitcoins to pay off-chain invoices through a swap provider. The swap provider doesn’t have custody of your funds at any moment.

This technology was created by Olaoluwa Osuntokun and Alex Bosworth from Lightning Labs. Submarine swaps have been very well received in the community, with people listing them among the most innovative features in the Lightning Network.

You will still have your funds in one single wallet in Muun, and the whole payment process is the same as an on-chain payment, except for two differences: 1) most payments will be done instantly 2) different fees will appear in your transaction detail.

Your off-chain invoice will be paid instantly, except for very particular cases. Although there’s still an on-chain transaction involved in the swap, confirmations won’t be required in the vast majority of the cases, so the Lightning invoice will be paid instantly.

In your payment detail, you will see two different fees: 1) “Lightning fee” are the routing costs of the off-chain component of your payment, and 2) “Swap fee”, includes the first on-chain transaction to the swap provider.

Transaction details for a Lightning payment using submarine swaps

So far, the market has been experimenting with trade-offs between usability and non-custodianship. The first Lightning wallets gave up usability, in terms of channel configuration, in exchange for non-custodianship. The more recent wallets sacrificed non-custodianship in return for zero channel configuration.

In this implementation, the trade-off is in costs since transactions still pay for an on-chain fee. In talks with users, we learned that the current motivation for paying in Lightning is to learn about and support the technology. Therefore, we thought this was a reasonable trade-off for the first implementation.
Use the Bitcoin.com Wallet at all Elipay locations!
Tags: Partnerships, Bitcoincash, Bitcoin Wallet, Cryptocurrency

Great news — due to Eligma’s partnership with Bitcoin.com, Elipay locations can now potentially look forward to millions of new customers! The Bitcoin.com Wallet has recently celebrated 4 million wallets created, and their users can now shop with them at all locations with Elipay in Slovenia and Croatia.

This means that all Bitcoin.com Wallet fans can now conveniently use it at more than 300 Elipay locations — from coastline and mountain hotels to grocery stores, hairdressers, taxis and entertainment venues. The number of locations is constantly growing and soon, we are planning an expansion to a number of new countries.

Eligma’s mission is to create solutions that make a difference at the mainstream level. By partnering with Bitcoin.com, we hope to combine the best of both worlds; buyers at Elipay locations can choose between the regulatory advantages of the custodial Elipay wallet (requiring KYC) or opt for the non-custodial Bitcoin.com Wallet instead.

Less than a year after entering the market, Elipay is available in two countries — and counting. With a holistic system that includes a mobile application for users and a POS solution (web-based, ERP integrated, online shop plug-ins) for merchants, it enables immediate payments with cryptocurrencies. In this, the merchants receive the settlement in their local currency, avoiding any risks related to crypto volatility.

Accepting both Elipay and the Bitcoin.com Wallet is a wonderful opportunity for Elipay locations. Due to Elipay, Slovenia is now the country with the highest number of crypto-friendly brick-and-mortar locations in the world, and we hope that Croatia and other countries will become just as prominent with this latest technological upgrade. Stay tuned for more!

Here are all the locations where you can pay with the Bitcoin.com Wallet and with Elipay!

Tags: Blockchain Technology, Climate Change, Bitcoin Wallet, Xcelpay, Blockchain

The Correos agreement is not the only new initiative to use blockchain to mitigate corporations environmental impact. Other Spanish companies such as energy start-up Greenb2e also have tokenization projects for the use of renewable energy. In particular, this project seeks to promote ecological practices for companies.

Another Spanish project launched December this year has the backing of Spain’s largest department store chain El Corte Inglés, in partnership with the Energías de Portugal (EDP) group. Through this project, both entities will certify the use of renewable energy in El Corte Inglés stores, starting with a pilot in the towns of Malaga, Seville, and Cádiz.

This is also not Spain’s only pledge to incorporate emerging technology into its infrastructure. In July 2018, more than 130 deputies of Spain’s Popular Party drafted a bill proposing the implementation of blockchain technology to make government administration more transparent and efficient.

The post Spanish postal service Correos will offset CO2 emissions with blockchain appeared first on Coin Rivet.

Jaisa Ki aapko pata hai Bitcoin Sabse Pehli Virtual Currency hai. Bitcoin aur Ethereum ke bich Similarity aur differences ko samjhna investors ke liye jaruri hain.

2. Ethereum Me Blocks ka samay Bitcoins ki tulna me kam hai. Bitcoins Blocks ko clear karne me 10 minute ka samay lete hain wanhi Ethereum 14 se 15 Seconds me ye kaam karta hai. Yeh Fast transaction ki anumati deta hai. Ethereum aisa Ghost Protocol ka use karke karta hai.

3. Ethereum Ki tulna me Bitcoin ka Economic Model bhi Thoda Different hai. Bitcoin Block Rewards har 4 saal me aate hain, Jabki Ethereum Pratyek Varsh ke antraal par saman raashi jama karta hai.

4. Ethereum me unki Computational Complexity, Bandwidth Use, aur Storage ki Jaruraton ke aadhar par Transaction ka ek alag tarika hai. Bitcoin Transaction ek dusre ke saath saman rup se pratispardha (Compete) karte hain. Isey Gas in Ethereum kaha jaata hai aur Bitcoin me Prati Block limit hota hai, Yeh Block Size ke dwara limit hota hai.

5. Ethereum Ka apna Complete Turing Internal Code hai. Ek Complete Turing Code ka matlab hai enough computing power and enough time.. Janha Kuch Bhi calculated kiya jaa sakta hai. Jabki Bitcoin ke saath aapko ye Flexibility nahi Milti hai.

6. Ethereum Me Bitcoin ko jaari kiye jane ke dauraan Crowd Funding se dhan Muhayaa karaya gaya tha aur suruaat me adhikansh coins Khud hi mine kiye jaa chuke hain. Ethereum ke saath 50% Coins ki mining 5 saal me hogi.

7. Ethereum Centralized Pool Mining ko apne Ghost Protocol ke madhyam se Rewarded stale blocks ko discourage karta hai. Jiska saaf matlab hai aapko Block Prasar ke mamle me pool me hone ka koi fayda nahi hai.

8. Ethereum ASIC ke pryog ke khilaf Mitigate karne wale ETHASH namak ek memory hard hashing Algorithm ka upyog karta hai aur logon dwaara apne GPU ke upyog se decentralized mining ko protsahit karta hai.

Cryptocurrency Markets Crash as Coinbase, Binance Suffer Issues
By: Hashbx Global
Tags: Cryptocurrency Investment, Cryptocurrency News, Bitcoin Wallet, Bitcoin Mining, Blockchain Development

Practically all major cryptocurrencies were hit hard by the dump. Despite reaching over $12,000 yesterday, Bitcoin is now trading at just $11,362 and has lost 4.5% of its value in the last 24 hours. Ethereum (ETH) has been hit similarly hard and is down 4.7% to reach $446. This is now the third time in a month that Bitcoin has been rejected at the $12,000 threshold, and sent the market tumbling with it.

Other top ten cryptocurrencies like XRP, Chainlink (LINK), and Polkadot (DOT) are also suffering big losses — and are down between 6 to 11% in the last day. The dramatic sell-off also affected Tether (USDT), which is currently selling at below its dollar peg at $0.982. Other stablecoins like USD Coin (USDC), True USD (TUSD), and Dai (DAI) remain largely unaffected.

This update gave Enjin Wallet users the power to seamlessly convert nearly 200 tokens from thousands of available trading pairs without ever leaving the security of their wallet app.

Now, we’ve made Enjin Wallet Swap even more convenient and seamless.

We know that details matter—so users can now view balances for all of their coins in the token swap selection dropdown, as well as select “max” to fill in max value.

We’ve also added a Changelly Fixed Rate exchange option to provide users with certainty regarding the fees they’ll pay when using Changelly to convert tokens.

Our work here is not done, and we will continue to improve the Enjin Wallet Swap experience, with additional natively integrated token swap platforms coming soon—so stay tuned.

Transaction Info ft. EnjinX

Our transaction information page also has a fresh new look!

The updated page features quick visual confirmation of transaction status and a simple green check to let you know your transaction has been completed successfully.

The page also now includes a direct link to view transactions on EnjinX—our ultra-modern, user-friendly, fast, ad-free Ethereum blockchain explorer.

EnjinX was designed with a pivotal mission in mind: to speed up mainstream adoption of blockchain technology by making its data easily accessible to everyone.

Forged at the intersection of pioneering technology and user-centric design, EnjinX provides a simple yet highly visual search, real-time search results, and easily understandable blockchain data.

By connecting this fast, user-friendly blockchain explorer with the equally user-friendly Enjin Wallet, we are taking yet another step toward our goal of making the understanding and use blockchain data as simple, streamlined, and enjoyable as possible.

The Ballet Crypto Ecosystem is growing…
Tags: Bitcoin, Crypto, Bitcoin Wallet, Ballet, Blockchain

As we approach the 2 year launch anniversary of the Ballet company and the Ballet physical wallets, our ecosystem has undoubtedly grown as our community has grown in parallel. In the past 2 years the crypto industry has pulled out from the bear market of 2018 into the bull market of 2021 with waves of new users, companies, and projects spawning onto the market. This burgeoning activity has helped us grow our ecosystem, but most importantly, it has helped us make our one-of-a-kind cold storage experience even better.

Although the term “cold storage” refers to storing cryptocurrency private keys offline, the Ballet mobile app provides the ability to interact with your physical Ballet wallet while the private keys remain in your control completely offline.The Ballet app has many of the same online functions as standard hot wallets, but you don’t need to store your Ballet wallet private keys on your device.The user experience marries the advantages of offline self-custody with the rich functionality of a custodial cryptocurrency exchange.

As noted in the ecosystem map shown below, we’ll break down the major moving parts of our ecosystem.
Understanding what Centaur Is
By: Martins Ozoani
Tags: Cryptocurrency News, Cntr, Defi, Bitcoin Wallet, Blockchain Development

The dependability of this project is not questionable, why is that? Because the best projects are already in partnership with Centaur.

As is known, Defi is blockchain-based finance that does not have its dependence on central financial mediators but runs on smart contracts on blockchains.

Imagine a platform where decentralized and centralized finance is integrated through a medium (Centaur Chain) that allows smart contracts to interplay, thereby taking advantage of blockchain systems. Here is why it’s a bridge. However, Centaur focuses on three Main solutions in other to correct the errors of most decentralized solutions, the Main network with its wallet that proffers multiple assets with its blockchain and decentralized CentaurSwap.

Centaur Mainnet-

On April 28 Centaur Main network of CentaurChain was released this year and is functioning in full - capacity. It implies that $CNTR holders can now delegate $CNTR to validators and receive income. And the possibility of running your validator is open under the guidance of the project team.

However, it is a cosmos-based blockchain that particularly connects financial institutions and opens up new verticals in the centralized and decentralized sectors.

Hadar wallet-

A multi-asset, multi-purpose wallet, by Centaur.

It is an all-in-one app for crypto-asset storage across several protocols, management, and decentralized finance. Hadar is available and downloadable on Google PlayMarket and AppStore, and it supports BTC, ETH, and ERC20 assets.

Registering and activating Hadar mobile app is done through users’ email and password, with two-factor authentication via SMS or Google Authenticator. Hadar holds lots of features and updates in the future. Which includes;

Registration, 2FA, & Dashboard Page

· Password recovery using 12 mnemonic words

· Portfolio overview in multiple currencies

· HadarSwap — swapping assets within the wallet

· Defi section — lending/borrowing, staking, dexes

· News aggregator and price alerts

CentaurSwap-

A holistic approach for CentaurSwap and its pools, that is well represented by each asset no longer in pairs, developed to stop the loss for liquidity providers, low slippage for traders, and yields high returns for liquidity providers. This solution is called single side staking, with lots of benefits. Here is why Centaur stands out!

Like the saying; The future is Predictable, only if you invest in it.

Get on board because the future is bright, and you will be glad you did.

How to double spend bitcoin using electrum — No technical sorcery required!
By: Shiva S
Tags: Blockchain Technology, Tutorials, Bitcoin, Bitcoin Wallet, Fintech

The below post has simple instructions on doing a bitcoin double spend. It doesn’t require you to manually construct transactions or use fancy Linux tools. Here is what you need:

An Electrum Wallet (Version 3.0 +)

A gullible merchant/website who accepts zero confirmation payments

Step 1

Create an electrum wallet and send funds to it. Let us call this as Wallet 1. Make sure Use Replace-By-Free is enabled in Tools > Preferences. Also have Edit fees Manually option enabled

RBF option in electrum (Tools > Preferences)

Step 2

Create a new electrum wallet (let us call this as Wallet 2). Send complete balance of Wallet 1 to Wallet 2 with a very low fee

Sending complete wallet balance with a very low fee

Try the lowest fee possible starting from 0.6 upto 1 sat/byte. In some cases electrum will not allow you to broadcast a very low fee payment. Increase the fee little bit and try again. 1 sat/byte always works. Send the payment - let us call the resulting bitcoin transaction as FundingTx

Step 3

Open Wallet 2 and send the payment to the gullible merchant from this wallet. You can leave the fee to default whatever electrum is suggesting as the fee doesn’t matter in this step. Lets us call this tx as SpendingTx

Receive the goods from the merchant in lieu of this unconfirmed payment

Step 4

Open Wallet 1 and increase the fee of the FundingTx. You can right click on the transaction in History tab to get an option to increase fee. Set the new fee to anything greater than 5 sat/byte that will eventually get confirmed.

Now open Wallet 2 and Volia! SpendingTx has disappeared !

You have now successfully double spend. Enjoy goodies from merchant! Feel free to send all funds from Wallet2 back to Wallet 1 or any other address of yours

Thought it would be cool to share what people are working on at the Bluewallet project.

Usually there’s not much visibility on open source projects, unless, of course, you are part of the mailing list, IRC channels or chat groups of the project. So a WIP (work in progress) Post seems like a nice idea. It’s a way to have the community aware, updated, and given a chance to say something. Best to have feelings and violent reactions shared now, than after something is done.😃

We will approach this as a “Now” and “Next.

Now being what we are working on now and should be hitting production at any moment.

Next being what we will be working on and will come sooner than later.

What’s coming up Now?

Bech32 — Native SegWit as the default wallet

native segwit — bitcoin wallet

Bluewallet supports many address types. During 2019, we invested most of our time improving and testing our Bech32 wallets. They are now a powerful open financial systems available to anyone for free. And here’s what you can do with them:

Full fee control

Save up to 50% in fees

Bump your transactions

Cancel your transactions

Batch multiple transactions

It seems that the time has come, and as Bitcoin Core also made bech32 the default type on the latest release, there’s no reason for us to not do so as well.

What’s coming Next?

BTCPay Server integration

BTCPay has become the Swiss Army knife of the Bitcoin tech stack. From developing applications, running nodes, to integrating with hardware wallets, etc.

It seems obvious to us that bringing this eco-system to Bluewallet, where BTCPay users can have an open source native mobile app to interact with their applications, can be the cherry on top of the proverbial cake.

It solves a real problem - where today, users have their wallets on web frontends, which is something not that secure to do. At the same time, we can work on a native experience to improve the User Experience for the end user, who are, in this case, the merchants and store payees.

This opens interesting scenarios, where people would be able to hack cool things. For instance, it could be to explore NFC (Near Field Communication) solutions to develop open source cards/points-of-sale, and so much more on top of BTCPay and native mobile environments and everything they can bring.

How and where can you help or know more?

How are transactions recorded in a Blockchain?
Tags: Blockchain Technology, Bitcoin, Bitcoin Wallet, Cryptocurrency, Blockchain

In my last article, I have explained what Blockchain is. By taking an example of the Bitcoin network, let us understand how the transactions are recorded.

Before that, let us understand the term Hash/Hashing that we used in the previous article.

What hashing does is it will take your transaction as an input of any length and creates an output of fixed size (64 digits and letters).

Use the website to understand it better. (Click on the text)

Bitcoin network uses SHA 256 Algorithm.

Let us see how transactions are recorded in the network.

1. We need a crypto wallet to make a transaction; after opening an account, load money into your wallet through the bank account and buy the bitcoin. Now your wallet will show the bitcoins that you are holding.

2.To make a transaction or to send someone BTC. We need the recipient’s public key, senders private key, BTC amount. Think of it as the recipient’s home address when you are sending a parcel (public key), and when you are making an online payment to someone, we need the password (private key).

3. Next, the system will do the Broadcasting of all the transactions in the network, and validators validate the transactions on two parameters.

a) Sender has the desired number of BTC in his wallet. b) Private key is valid.

Transactions are added to the memory pool once they are verified.

4. From the memory pool, miners will pick up the transaction to add to the block. (higher the transaction fees — higher the chances of transaction added in the block faster)

5.Miner will propose the next block, and other nodes will verify the same. (blocks are generated using proof of work consensus mechanism — will discuss in next article)

6. A New block is added to the existing Blockchain.

7. The transaction is complete.
