You Truly Live in the Future

I stumbled upon this video on Twitter yesterday. It is the most futuristic-looking thing I have ever witnessed.

What looks like a scene straight out of George Lucas’ imagination is in fact real footage taken from the ISS, capturing the lift-off and space entry of a Russian cargo spacecraft.

The tiny, shiny dot rises above the surface and enters the deep obscurity of space so effortlessly, it looks so natural.

What was only possible as CGI a few years ago is now an obvious reality?

In these testing times, when metaphysical angst tends to overwhelm us, this kind of video reminds us of the prowesses we’re capable of as a species, and how far we’ve come in so short a time.

117 years ago, the Wright brothers set on the first powered flight with a wood and muslin airplane.

59 years ago, Yuri Gagarin orbited the earth in a 7'5"-diameter sphere of metal, the first human to leave Earth’s atmosphere.

51 years ago, less than eight years later, the crew of Apollo 11 went to the moon with less computing power than a USB-C charger and walked on our milky neighbor, the first human steps in outer space.

Today, as we speak, thousands of manmade satellites orbit the Earth. With the ISS and its requirement that it’d be manned at all times, mankind is now a space civilization.

We must hope for the future because we are living it right now.
Trezor Suite updates March 2021
Tags: Updates, Ethereum, Wallet, Product, Cryptocurrency

A new update for Trezor Suite has just been released to download from suite.trezor.io . This is a non-essential update that introduces some new features, including replace-by-fee (RBF) for ETH, and improves elements of the user experience.

Please note that an update has been released since this blog was first published. The latest version of Trezor Suite is version 21.3.2.

If you have not yet updated to Trezor Suite 21.2.1 or later, please make sure you update to the latest version of suite before the next major update. This will allow updates to be carried out directly from within Trezor Suite in future.

RBF for Ethereum transactions

Last month we launched the replace by fee feature for Bitcoin, which allows you to bump the fee on unconfirmed sent transactions to achieve quicker confirmations. This month, we’re doing the same for ETH!

Given the recent spikes in average gas fees, Ethereum transactions have been costing some users tens or even hundreds of dollars a pop. Now, with RBF enabled for ETH, you can send a transaction at a comfortable price and later increase the fee if there is trouble getting the transaction to confirm.

Speed up an Ethereum transaction by increasing gas fees

When you next go to your Ethereum wallet in Trezor Suite and send a transaction like normal, you will be shown a new option, ‘Bump Fee’ on the pending, unconfirmed transaction.

If the transaction confirms quickly enough, then great! But if it stays stuck as pending, you can click on Bump fee to open a dialogue that will let you change the fee setting.

In the screenshot above, the previous fee of 5 gwei is being increased to 100 gwei, based on average prices at the time. You can check the current average gas prices using free tools such as Etherscan Gas Tracker, or see how long a custom fee might take using the ETH Gas Station calculator. Based on Etherscan, the 100 gwei transaction should take under 10 minutes to confirm.

To continue and confirm the newly-set fee hit ‘Replace transaction’ and confirm the new fee on your Trezor hardware wallet. The previous unconfirmed transaction will be replaced with an identical one that has a higher gas fee assigned.

Other updates

A number of small fixes and improvements have been made to Trezor Suite. For a full list, please refer to the changelog. One notable change is the ability to hide the portfolio graph from view on your Dashboard, reducing the amount of information shown on startup.

A bug where accounts with a non-zero balance were being marked as empty has been fixed. We have also managed to rectify an issue where incorrect balances were sometimes shown for tokens which share the same ticker symbol. Token balances will now also be properly included in calculating the portfolio balance shown on your Dashboard.

To help prepare for Trezor Suite to move out of beta and replace Trezor Wallet, we will be soon be providing updates directly through Trezor Suite. To make sure that you can choose to receive these updates, please make sure you are running Trezor Suite version 21.2.1 or later.

Brave Browser has finally launched Basic Attention Token (BAT) rewards for its iPhone users.

Sequel to the announcement, Brave iPhone users now get. the opportunity to earn Basic Attention Token (BAT) tokens. The users get rewarded for watching privacy-preserving advertisements with the blockchain-based Brave Browser.

Besides, only iPhone users didn’t get the feature on their browser. Thus, making it highly anticipated by the community.

Also, users get access to the Brave Rewards by clicking the triangular BAT icon in the URL bar. However, Brave users still get the option to choose the ad-free browsing experience by disabling the feature in the settings.

In addition, the free web browser developed by Brave Software works on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android devices. The current version also hosts five search engines by default. This includes their partner, DuckDuckGo.

Although, Google Chrome remains the leading browser in terms of internet browsing. But, the open-source web browser, Brave, consistently draws consumers from Google’s immense market share and adds it to its user base. Head of developer relations at Brave, Jonathan Sampson, also revealed that the crypto-friendly chromium web-based browser now boasts of over eight million active users monthly.

To remind, blockchain-based internet browser Brave announced the launch of its cryptocurrency wallet for ether (ETH). As well as, Brave’s native coin Basic Attention Token (BAT). The wallet’s named “Crypto Wallet”.
A History of Wallets
Tags: History, Wallet

It may surprise you to learn that wallets, in one form or another, have been around for as long as humans have been around. The style and functionality of the wallet has evolved along with societal changes and inventions up to the ultra-slim, minimalist wallet that we see today. Let’s take a walk through time and see the birth, development, and various uses of the wallet.

The wallet began long ago in the form of a leather purse. Remnants of these pouches have been found dating back to prehistoric times, when the “wallet” would have been used to hold things like food and knives. As money in coin form began to popularize, people still carried leather pouches, but coins were added to the mix along with food and valuables. In fact, depictions from Ancient Greece and Rome show the messenger god Hermes with a coin purse at his hip.

By the 1600s, wallets in their pouch form continued to be worn at the hip for easy access, and it was during this time that, along with their functionality, they became a statement of class and wealth. The bigger the wallet, the more wealthy and important the person — which was another reason for wearing the wallet at the hip. When paper currency became the norm rather than coins in the 1800s, the wallet developed into a rectangular pouch with a flap that was folded over the top and secured with a buckle. Despite this flatter look, large wallets were still an important statement.

Top row: prehistoric pouch, Greek god Hermes with pouch at his hip, Renaissance woman with purse at her hip, 1800s wallet. Bottom row: 1920s Hermès advertisement, 1950s bifold advertisement, 1990s velcro wallet, modern slim wallet.

During the glitz of the Roaring 20s, Hermès, the luxury leather goods company, set its sights on producing a wallet that was first and foremost a fashion statement, and the modern bifold wallet was born. Then, in the 1950s, the invention of credit cards led to a slimmer bifold with card slots. Through all this time, the wallet continued to be made from leather.

The next several decades saw more variety in wallet styles and materials, including the short-lived velcro wallet of the 1990s. Today, with the availability of digital payment options like Apple Pay, Venmo, and PayPal, the modern wallet has evolved into the ultra-slim cardholder. These minimal wallets allow for people to lighten their load and carry less than ever before. Of course, larger wallets like the bifold and trifold are still around, too, and modern advancements mean that even wallets with a large carrying capacity can come in a slim, minimal design. Truly, there’s a modern wallet for all tastes. Discover your ideal design by checking out our range of slim wallets here.

Token Spotlight: TrueUSD from TrustToken
Tags: Updates, Ethereum, Wallet, Blockchain, Cryptocurrency

The TUSD token from TrustToken is now available in the Dether wallet and the Dether exchange feature. Fund your wallet with TUSD and trade ETH for TUSD, right from the Dether app.

About TrustToken

The TrustToken Platform is a protocol to tokenize and transact on real world assets on blockchains in a legally enforceable, fully accounted and collateralized way. According to TrustToken, potential areas that can be tokenized are assets such as real estate, patents, media, copyrights, sports teams, collectible art, and commodities like gold and oil. TrustToken is composed of SmartTrust, a legal contract that designates the asset ownership and custody to a smart contract on a blockchain; TrustMarket, a legal-financial marketplace based on smart contracts; TrustProtocol, a protocol specifying how smart contracts can direct fiduciaries; TrustVault, a decentralized storage system that is auditable; and TrustToken, the platform’s incentive layer.

TrueUSD is an ERC20 stablecoin backed by the US dollar and 100% collateralized by USD. The legal framework of TrueUSD enables you to exchange USD directly with an escrow account, with TrustToken never touching your funds. Escrow accounts enable regular attestations and complete legal protection for token holders.

With TrueUSD, crypto traders and everyday crypto users can benefit from a stablecoin to hedge against volatility. Financial institutions and small businesses can also benefit from a more stable entrance into the crypto market.

TrueUSD combines the stability advantages of fiat with the reduced fees and faster transfer times of cryptocurrencies.

My best guess is that there will be a kind of universal Crypto Wallet (Apps) from which users can make and receive crypto payments, in whatever form and denomination. The software will hide the technique behind a user friendly UI and make using crypto a breeze.

The parties best poised to advance in this territory are companies that bring/build solutions for paying in crypto and merge cryptocurrency with the regular financial world (fiat currency). It will probably be payment processors that will merge everything together in a neat package and become the next generation of payment hubs. Parties like TenX, Crypto.com (formerly Monaco) and Plutus.

In fact, TenX and Crypto.com have an overall exchange/payment platform on their roadmap that should, inter alia, bind all the blockchains out there together and make them interoperable to a certain degree.

The road to a worldwide crypto payment standard will be messy, but I do not doubt such standard will emerge. Crypto wallets will lead the way.

Tags: Bitcoin, Wallet, Crytocurrency, Cryptocurrency Investment

Qbao Network Wallet is a smart crypto wallet with many functionalities. To improve the product and to provide better user experience, Qbao Network wallet development team keep an intensive updating schedule. The new features of Qbao Network V4.0 are as follows,

Developed a built-in exchange enabling users to purchase QBT more conveniently.

Qbao Network has integrated two DEXs(decentralized exchanges)last year by adopting protocols of Kyber Network and Loopring. The disadvantages of DEXs are apparently costing gas and slow transaction speed. To provide better user experience, Qbao Team started to develop a built-in exchange at the beginning of 2019. Built-in centralized exchange is the main feature of Qbao Network V4.0. It currently supports three trading pairs, including BTC/QBT, ETH/QBT, QTUM/QBT. It is one-way trading. In order to trade QBT in the centralized exchange, users need to top up their cryptocurrencies in Qbag.

The top up instructions are as follows,

1) Click “Qbag” on the application’s home page.

2) Select BTC/ETH/QTUM on “Qbag” page.

3) Click “Recharge” to enter “Recharge” page.

4) Input “Amount” and click “Recharge” to complete the top up.

Once your Qbag was topped up, you can start your trading in the built-in exchange.

1) Click “Discover” tab to enter “Discover” Dashboard.

2) Click “Exchange” tab on the left.

3) Input either “Withdraw amount” or “Deposit Amount” and click “Exchange” to complete the trade.

Then you will receive a message on “Social” dashboard and you can check the relevant records of your trading on “Transaction” page of your Qbag.

2. Optimized the interface of Qbag to make the built-in exchange more accessible.

3. Modified the VIP ranking criteria and optimized the VIP ranking interface.

The previous VIP ranking criteria of Qbao Network was the total digital asset amount of each user. To encourage users to hold QBT in long term and to reward the loyal QBT holders, Qbao Foundation decided to change the criteria and applied the new VIP ranking on Qbao Network V4.0.

Welcome go to App Store or Google Play to download Qbao Network wallet V4.0.

Thank you all for your supports.

Cryptocurrency wallet are here to stay
By: Blockchain Help
Tags: Digital Wallet, Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency, Wallets

When it comes to crypto currency, a wallet that helps to load and use such currency is also required. This is a software application that helps to store private as well as public keys and can interact with different Blockchain technologies which enable users to send or receive different kinds of digital currency as well as be able to monitor the balance they have. For those who use Bitcoin or other forms of crypto-currency will need a digital wallet alongside as well.

How crypto currency wallets work?

Though crypto currency wallets are varied and many people use them, many are unsure of how these wallets work. They are not digital wallets where one can store currency. In such wallets currency is not stored or to be found to lie around. There are simply transaction records that are maintained in such wallets with the help of Blockchain technology. For such reasons crypto currency wallets are simply software programs that store private and public keys and act as an interface with Blockchain technologies. This enables users to check their balance and conduct different kinds of monetary transactions. A person can send another Bitcoins or other forms of digital currency and that is akin to signing of ownership of part of the coins from one’s wallet which is akin to an address. The coins that are sent across or the funds that are unlocked can be spent only when the private key in one’s wallet matches the public address of the currency that has been transferred.

The transactions that happen are merely records of transactions that are maintained on the Blockchains and reflect on the balance of one’s wallet for crypto currency.

Different kinds of crypto currency wallets

There are different kinds of crypto currency wallets out there that have the following features:

· Online

This category of wallet usually runs on cloud and can be accessed by any computing device. These are convenient to access from anywhere and are controlled by a third party service provider.

· Desktop

This category of crypto currency wallets is accessible on a computer where the software program is downloaded. These are known to offer greater security than cloud based applications.

· Mobile

There are wallet apps that can be downloaded onto mobile devices. These are beneficial and can be used at retail stores and other places on the go.

· Hardware

Wallets of this category are akin to USB like devices. These usually have crypto-currency stored in them and one can make transactions online as well as offline. These wallets usually work with different currencies as well as diverse web interfaces.

· Paper

These kinds of wallets are basically printout or physical copy of private or public keys. Such a wallet can help transfer any kind of crypto-currency by transfer of funds with the help of the public address that is shown on one’s paper wallet.

It is necessary that one chooses the right kind of wallet as per the ease of use, the kind of transactions one wishes to do as well as security and other benefits a wallet offers.

BLOCKCHAIN HELP
Caution! This malware will steal your Bitcoin or any Blockchain Asset you may have!
By: Boaz Shunami
Tags: Cybersecurity, Wallet, Bitcoin, Blockchain, Cryptocurrency

The most leading crypto wallets out there do not have a solution for this problem and their users might or have already suffered from malware which that caused them to lose funds.

Recently, the web is steaming about a new clipper malware discovered on Google Play that targets cryptocurrency wallets see here and here.

The malware detects cryptocurrency addresses and replaces them with the attacker’s address. This which in turn leads to a fertile ground for crypto thieves.

As a blockchain cybersecurity company, this doesn’t really come as “news.”

When we founded Kesem.io, we’d already tested this exact malware on the most leading crypto wallets available and was shocked to discover the results.

All of them were vulnerable to the malware leaving their users exposed to theft.

Putting aside web-based wallets, all of which suffer from it, these are some of the more familiar mobile wallets that are vulnerable to it:

Jaxx, BRD, Blockchain Info, Mycelium and more

Only www.kesem.io wallet currently protects against this malware.

As part of our technology stack, we developed a countermeasure against this malicious malware that alerts users in case of clipboard hijacking attempts and blocks transactions from happening.

Here are some guidelines and tips to help users check if their wallet is safe:

★ Take a quick test: Copy an address of a receiver and paste it to

your wallet. Now, check to see if the address is the same or not.

If not, it’s probably best to transfer your funds to a safer wallet.

★ Pin code is not enough!!! Wallets without a password are highly

exposed to breaches. Choose a secure password with a minimum

of 8 characters, choose numbers, lowercase letters, CAPS letters,

and a numeric.

★ Add a screen lock to your mobile so that no outsider will see

your wallet in public places.

★ Make sure you use a multi-signature wallet (check if your bitcoin

address starts with a 3). This type of wallet will protect your

funds in case your backup phrase has been stolen.

And remember: It is better to be safe than sorry!

Kesem.io is a cybersecurity blockchain company founded in January 2018.

The company specializes in security for blockchain and has built an infrastructure to protect wallets and transactions of blockchain assets.

The company has launched a new type of hardware wallet that functions as a mobile App and implements within an innovative system of layers of defense against fraud and theft.
Bluewallet v.4.4.1 — Bitcoin wallet
By: Nuno Coelho
Tags: Lightning Network, Release Notes, Wallet, Bitcoin, Bitcoin Wallet

Bluewallet v.4.4.1, mobile Bitcoin wallet for iOS and android is out and there are some cool new features that you should know about. Mainly the ability to send all funds, the ability to have a bit more privacy by allow you to hide your balances and the super cool “Scan to receive”, a new functionality available for Lightning based on lnurl spec.

What is new

Send MAX (BIP84 & BIP49)

The ability to Send MAX, one of the most requested features appears when you tap on the amount. The keyboard goes up, you can see your total balance and you can tap on it to select the total amount. That simple.

Particularly useful if you want to migrate your wallets to Bech32 wallets ;)

Scan to receive (lnurl spec) by @fiatjaf

lnurl is a protocol for communication between Lightning wallets and third-party services. It simplifies complicated common flows into standard subprotocols carried on between the user wallet and the service over simple HTTP JSON calls.

Basically it goes like this:

The wallet reads a QR code; If it has the lnurl prefix it is decoded and the the resulting URL is called; From the server response for that URL the wallet knows what subprotocol it should proceed with; In the case of lnurl-withdraw, for example, the server response will contain some parameters (min/max, default description) for the invoice that will be generated in the user wallet; The wallet proceeds with the subprotocol. In the case of lnurl-withdraw, for example, it will display an invoice generation window prefilled with the parameters returned by the server, and, upon confirmation by the user, send the invoice back to the server, which will pay it.

Source

Supported by: BlueWallet, Bitcoin Lightning Wallet and @lntxbot

Can be used on: Kriptode, Lightning Gifts and @lntxbot

Allow user to hide their balance

The ability to hide your balance is a small privacy improvement. With it you now don’t need to be afraid of opening your wallet in public or over the shoulder kind of situations for instance.

Matic Wallet —Testing Promo

There were few issues that were encountered by users during the contest.The Matic team worked hard to resolve these issues while the rewards program was ongoing to provide a better experience for the users. We are thankful to everyone who shared their valuable feedback with us.

Issues faced and their resolution:

1.Balances were not getting updated in the wallet on Matic Testnet. This was primarily a problem being faced by Russian users as some cloud services utilized by our app were blocked by Internet Providers in Russia.

Solution — We configured and moved some of the cloud services to a new server to resolve this issue.

2. User Interface for phones with smaller displays was not working as expected. Few users reported issues where icons and text overlapped and more importantly, they weren’t able to complete the 2nd step of the program because the button was not accessible.

Solution — We fixed this issue and sent an Over The Top update to all users facing this issue. They were then able to complete the transaction.

3. On clicking the Add Funds button the screen was stuck with the animation indicating processing.

Solution — This again was a minor issue at the back end which was fixed and users were then able to complete the transaction

There was one major grievance that many users reported and that was, the mandated use of Fingerprint or Face ID for using Matic Wallet. However, many users did not have devices that had either of the capabilities and for this reason, they weren’t able to participate in the Binance reward program.

We’d like to take this opportunity to apologize to all users that could not participate because of this limitation. We’d like to THANK everyone for bringing this forward. We had consciously not added PIN support to make the app forward-looking but we soon realized in the Wallet campaign that a large number of users still use PIN-based security. We could not implement the PIN part in the app during the campaign itself because we did not want to roll out a half-baked product in a hurry which would cause more problems for users. We are going to introduce a PIN methodology to authenticate transactions in our upcoming releases.

We would like to congratulate all the 3000 lucky winners of the reward program. Rewards have been distributed to all the winners.

Cheers!

The benefits of crypto, without a complicated UX

At Dether, we’re committed to increasing cryptocurrency adoption by making it easy to buy and sell cryptocurrency without a bank account. With Dether, individuals can buy and sell ether and a variety of ERC20 tokens for cash in 140 countries, with just a mobile phone. Our goal is to make using cryptocurrency accessible, and an enjoyable, intuitive experience. That’s the reason why we have a developed an intuitive mobile dApp that can be used by anyone, available as a PWA, for Android, and for iPhone.

While cryptocurrency offers a myriad of benefits, including instantaneous transactions, low transaction fees, and increasing global accessibility, the overall UX, especially for new users, leaves much to be desired. Wallet addresses are long and complex, and unlike popular mobile payment services, such as Venmo, there’s no simple way to “request” a crypto payment from someone.

Implementing the FIO protocol for a better user experience across wallets

FIO, the Foundation for Interwallet Operability, wants to change that, by implementing a the FIO Protocol, which would make sure that all crypto wallets have:

Human-readable public addresses

The ability to request a send from any FIO Address

Encrypted metadata attached to any transaction

This new, inter-wallet operability protocol removes the risk, complexity, and inconvenience of sending and receiving tokens and coins. The FIO Protocol is being built by Dapix, Inc.

Blockchains do not need to make changes in order to operate the FIO Protocol. The protocol is an open source, fully decentralized ledger that sends information and confirmations that better enable the sending of value on all other blockchains.

What being a part of FIO means for Dether:

As a part of FIO, Dether agrees to contribute to the development of the FIO protocol, and based on our experience and knowledge, provide feedback on diverse aspects of the FIO Protocol during its development.

Test and evaluate the FIO Protocol.

How to create/import/manage wallet in Magnum

Creating a wallet is incredibly simple and can be done either through the Dashboard or in the login window. If you’ve never used Magnum, you will be offered to create a wallet immediately upon opening the app, after which you will have to set a password and save your mnemonic phrase.

And when in the Dashboard, you can find the “Add wallet” button on the left side panel or in the “My Wallets” tab. Either way, you will be presented with a choice of the cryptocurrency to use, after which your wallet will be generated based on your mnemonic phrase.

How to import your existing wallet into Magnum?

If you know a wallet’s private key or mnemonics phrase, then importing it to Magnum will not pose any challenge. Once you’ve created a Magnum Wallet, find “Add wallet” on the Dashboard, go for “Import mnemonic phrase” or “Import private key”, select the cryptocurrency and enter either the private key or the mnemonics phrase.

How to send/receive transactions using Magnum?

The most basic wallet operations in Magnum are performed intuitively. To perform a transaction, select the wallet you wish to send from, enter the amount and provide your password. You can also manually set the network fee to speed up the transaction or save some coins. If you wish to receive a payment, you can copy the address from the wallet’s page or make use of the QR code that is available right beside it.
