Bitcoin and cryptocurrency round-up 31 July 2018
What's happening in cryptocurrency?
Read about McSecurity, HTC LN implications, a Steam cryptojacker, Moroccan wind finance and the Sky Mining bailout.
1. Oi, ref! Come on!
That's a clear foul from McDonald's.
The MacCoin is very clearly a cryptocurrency and doesn't look like it passes the Howey Test.
2. Diving acron-ymto it
BTC and LTC LN on HTC.
What does it all mean? As in, what are the implications of this?
3. The 2D minimalist platformer probably just has great graphics
An alleged cryptojacker has made an appearance on the Steam stores.
Either that or it's just really poorly optimised.
4. What did Bon Jovi say when invited to buy into Soluna?
That's wild. Like, the wind?
ICOs might be an effective finance model when traditional fundraising fails.
5. Better out than in
It's particularly better when you're trying to mine crypto in Vietnam with $35 million in your pocket, even more in the hole and some violently angry investors.
The Sky Mining CEO wove his own golden parachute then bailed out.
