+title: "Bitcoin is not forking, [we're seeing] the distribution of an altcoin...  - Ryan Taylor - DASH"
+original-author: Staff Reporter

+---
+
+After two years of disagreements over network scalability issues, a user-initiated hard fork occurred, creating two versions of Bitcoin: the existing BTC we all know and love, and the new version called Bitcoin Cash (BCC).
+
+Bitcoin Cash, which increases the blocksize to 8MB, occurred because a faction of the Bitcoin community didn't approve of the SegWit2x proposal, a way to gradually scale Bitcoin by first segregating digital signatures from blocks (this creates the capacity to handle about 40% more transactions and is also an important step towards other scaling solutions like the Lightning Network), followed by a doubling of the current blocksize limit to 2MB.
+
+Some exchanges, like Coinbase and BitMEX have made it clear they will not support Bitcoin Cash; others, like OKCoin and Kraken have informed users they will list the new token.
+
+Commenting on how will this affect the future of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, Aragon Co-Founder and Project Lead Luis Cuende, said: "I think it will be a huge stress test on community governance — forks are a way to vote, to reclaim independence, and I really look forward to seeing how further development will continue and how the community will react."
+
+Asked what consequence this will have on investors, he added: "It depends, but probably making BTC holders more wealthy, since Bitcoin is better with SegWit. Plus, the people that were actively trying to stop development on Bitcoin and centralise it, will now have their own chain to do whatever they want with it. I think this will positively impact Bitcoin.
+
+"Short term, I believe Bitcoin Cash will be around for some time, but in the long term, I don't see Bitcoin Cash going anywhere. Probably a fatal bug will crash the whole network (it already happened with Bitcoin Unlimited, Cash's predecessor) or people will just lose interest in a currency engineered to look decentralized while being totally centralised," said Cuende.
+
+Dash Core CEO Ryan Taylor, pointed out that Bitcoin is not forking, but rather the distribution of an altcoin to Bitcoin holders. "There are many misconceptions about Bitcoin Cash and what it represents. To be clear, Bitcoin is not forking. Rather, some developers have created a new digital currency and formulated an effective means of distributing it, by giving it to everyone with an existing Bitcoin balance.
+
+"Nonetheless, the multi-year dispute over how best to increase Bitcoin's transaction capacity is what led to this moment. Bitcoin lacks an effective governance model to resolve contentious issues, and this is clearly deterring technological progress. When an issue as simple as whether to increase the block size can lead to years of stagnation, something needs to change. In my opinion, governance is an issue that the Bitcoin community needs to take more seriously."
+
+While the markets will ultimately decide, Taylor doubted Bitcoin Cash will be successful in the long-term. "It may have increased capacity, but several issues remain. First, Bitcoin Cash has not solved scaling. It has merely kicked the can down the road with slightly larger blocks, but still lacks a credible technology to scale to massively larger numbers of users.
+
+"Second, Bitcoin will retain the network of integrated services that make the Bitcoin network useful to businesses and consumers. With no substantial enhancements compared with Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash is unlikely to be integrated into those same services, given the substantial expense for businesses operating them to do so.
+
+ZenCash Co-Founder, Rob Viglione, hailed the forward progress that will ensue: "The good news is that we'll see experimentation along two distinct preference clusters. Rather than forcing one way or another, we can see how each idea unfolds in real life. This is the major advantage of cryptocurrency markets: Instead of bickering over theory and assumptions, we can just bring ideas to market and see how they perform.
+
+"Still, there are pros and cons to everything. The downside of a split is that Bitcoin loses part of its ecosystem, and network effects are so important to this industry. That said, this isn't a zero-sum game and it's more than possible to see both chains flourish in parallel."
+
+Node40 CEO Perry Woodin, added: "People who are going to benefit from Bitcoin Cash are the ones who see it as free money, so they can then invest in something else. It's going to be a race to see who can sell it the fastest."
+
+Coinsource CEO Sheffield Clark said: "When we look back 30 days from now, this is essentially going to be a non-event. We have absolutely no plans to integrate Bitcoin Cash at our machines at this time.

+title: "Overstock Lets Customers Pay With More Than 40 Alt Coins"
+original-author: Jeff John Roberts
+original-link: http://fortune.com/2017/08/08/overstock-digital-currency/?iid=sr-link2
+---
+
+Bitcoin is the biggest and most famous digital currency, but it's hardly the only one: There are hundreds of other so-called "alt coins" and now, in a significant development, the owners of these coins will be able to spend them at a major retailer.
+On Tuesday, Overstock—a popular online store that sells everything from furniture to bedding—announced it will begin accepting payment via Ethereum, Litecoin, Dash, and every other major digital currency as payment from customers.
+Overstock and many other companies—from Virgin Atlantic to small coffee shops—have accepted bitcoin for years, but this is the first time a well-known retailer has opened the door to other digital currencies.
+The upshot is that customers who check out after shopping at Overstock's website will have all sorts of options beyond credit or debit card or bitcoin. 
+
+In an interview with Fortune, Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne said he expected his company will be accepting up to 40 or 45 digital currencies at any given time.
+Byrne is a trained economist and a longtime advocate for bitcoin, which he regards as a global currency beyond the control of central banks and governments. He sees the new payment options as a victory for ordinary people.
+“Overstock is pro-freedom, including the freedom of individuals to communicate information about value and scarcity without relying on a medium created through the fiat of unaccountable government mandarins. For that reason, we have been an early proponent and adopter of cryptocurrencies,” he said in a statement.
+To process all the new currencies, Overstock will rely on a company called ShapeShift for the backend operations. The Switzerland-based company, whose service lets users instantly convert one type of digital currency to another, built an API that allows Overstock to accept any major digital currency and get paid in bitcoin on the backend.
+According to CEO Erik Voorhees, other big companies can easily install ShapeShift's payment API, meaning they could soon follow Overstock's example and accept payments in other digital currencies too.
+A moment of truth for alt-coins
+Overstock's decision to accept lesser known digital currencies, including Dash and the brand new Bitcoin Cash, comes during an unprecedented boom for alt-coins. In 2017, the total market for such currencies topped $100 billion as investors of all stripes began to embrace them as an alternate asset class akin to gold. Meanwhile, the market has become more diverse: bitcoin's overall share of the digital currency market recently dropped from over 80% to about 50%.
+Despite the recent boom, however, digital currencies still haven't caught on as a mainstream payment method. While bitcoin occupies a niche for certain criminal transactions, very few average consumers use it for everyday purchases.
+Get Data Sheet, Fortune’s technology newsletter.
+According to Byrne, Overstock customers spend about $50,000 a week in bitcoin. He says that figure has remained fairly constant for some time—suggesting there is a small hard core base of people who use bitcoin as everyday money, while the vast majority are using it to speculate and invest.
+But Byrne thinks Overstock's decision to accept more alt-coins could jump-start their adoption as a payment tool, and that more people will spend them rather than hoard them.
+"This is a red letter day in the crypto revolution. We ship to 129 countries—now any of them can pay in any of these currencies and have goods shipped there," he said.
+At the same time, though, Byrne is quick to acknowledge that not all alt-coins are created equally. He sees bitcoin and Ethereum as representing superior technology, and that this will drive their adoption, and in turn them into mainstream commodities and currencies.
+According to Voorhees, there is growing demand for all crypto-currencies. He told Fortune that ShapeShift processed $200 million worth of customer orders last month—a ten-fold increase of what the company processed in December.
+But Vorhees shares Byrne's view that bitcoin and Ethereum remain the most promising crypto-currencies, and that not all of the "major" currencies will be around in the future.
+"A lot of these assets will fail just as startups will fail," he said.

+Blockchain Explained
+
+Dash has followed in Bitcoin’s trail but with different, more business-friendly features. CEO Ryan Taylor tells Darren McLoughlin about the venture’s potential
+
+Crypto-currency Dash, with a current market cap of around $1 billion, was launched as XCoin in January 2014. It was renamed Darkcoin a month later, before a third rebrand as Dash in March 2015.
+
+Dash works in much the same way as Bitcoin, anonymous transactions, blockchains, currency miners and digital wallets. However, it can process transactions much more quickly and, as CEO Ryan Taylor explains here, Dash is much more than simply a protocol.
+
+What is Dash? Dash is a digital currency similar to Bitcoin, but with a number of improvements that make payments faster and more private. The code facilitates a fully-functional organisation capable of funding it’s business activities. In short, it is the only digital currency that operates similar to a company. The Dash Core Team is paid by the network itself to provide services. This contrasts starkly with other projects in the digital currency market, where most resources for the project are dependent on external donations for everything from programmers to marketing.
+
+What is blockchain technology? A blockchain is essentially an open shared database that is secure precisely because no one entity controls updating it. Changes to the blockchain can only be made when those changes conform to the set of rules that everyone maintaining the blockchain agree upon. These rules are codified as a protocol, in the same way that https messages conform to a protocol or set of rules for transferring webpage data over the Internet.
+
+Blockchains are so secure and immutable that you can only openly expose them to the Internet without any risk of the data being altered or hacked. Digital currencies leverage this blockchain technology to store what is essentially a giant account ledger that tracks and records each transaction.
+
+Why is blockchain coming into the mainstream? It takes time for radical new technologies like blockchain to proliferate. Technologists and business leaders must first learn what blockchain is, why it is important, and how it can be applied to various industries. When you compare blockchain adoption to the Internet, it is actually happening incredibly quickly.
+
+How will blockchain technology evolve? Just like the early Internet, almost all of the projects undertaken today will eventually fail, but out of those failures will emerge some incredible new applications of the technology. Blockchain will have an enormous impact on reducing the costs of data sharing, data security, and transactions that today require trusted intermediaries to conduct. Blockchain can have a sizeable impact on the transaction costs that financial institutions incur.
+
+Innovations are gradually expanding the set of user cases that blockchain can address.. Dash invented a method to confirm transactions instantly, which has opened a whole new set of use cases previously unaddressed in the digital currency industry. Bitcoin also scales quite poorly; Dash is pursing a scaling solution with our Evolution release that will handle thousands of transactions per second.
+
+What are the blockchain limitations? Some of the blockchain’s greatest strengths are also it’s greatest weakness. For example, transactions are immutable and cannot be changed or corrected. This can be an incredibly good or incredibly bad attribute depending on the use case.
+
+What’s the future of digital currencies? I believe the adoption of digital currencies is inevitable, as they can provide solutions no existing payment methods can. For example, imagine your vehicle making tiny road tax payments to each city you drive through on your commute at a rate that varies with congestion.
+
+Bitcoin has serious governance issues that might prevent it from effectively competing with more nimble digital currencies. Because of Bitcoin’s transaction capacity limitations, the network can only grow to a certain size before the
+
+capacity limits restrict further growth. You simply cannot have a significant share of the population using Bitcoin if the network is restricted to three transactions per second. Whether it is Bitcoin or another network that solves the scalability issues, someone will solve them.

+---
+
+Poland-based bitcoin and altcoin exchange Bitbay is set to launch a trading platform in India in a move that will see unprecedented support for the trading of multiple cryptocurrencies in the country.
+
+Leading Polish bitcoin exchange BitBay is priming to become the first international cryptocurrency trading platform to target the Indian market with the launch of a new digital currency exchange in the country. The nascent but growing cryptocurrency market in India is heavily influenced by bitcoin-only trading platforms like Unocoin and ZebPay, two indigenous bitcoin companies from the country. With its entry, BitBay will support bitcoin and six other altcoins, namely Ether, Litecoin, Lisk, Monero, Dash and Gamecredits.
+
+In stating its intentions for the Indian market via a press release, the newly formed BitBay India states:
+
+The prime objective of BitBay India is to remove all misconceptions related to cryptocurrency, drive more people towards digital currencies, attract potential investors from markets and offer an all-round platform to trade as well as exchange multiple cryptocurrencies at BitBay.
+
+Indian authorities have been exploring a regulatory framework for the legal future of bitcoin and other digital currencies in the country with an inter-governmental committee tasked to the job earlier in March. Earlier this week, the panel submitted its official report to India’s finance minister. While details of the report haven’t been made public yet, all signs point to the government recognizing bitcoin with regulations that will also include taxing bitcoin adopters.
+
+Ahead of a full launch on August 24, BitBay is also planning to launch demo trading next week to enable faux trading of cryptocurrencies as a test run.
+
+“India is an interesting market,” BitBay CEO Sylwester Suszek told Forbes India. “The KYC norms are very strong and people are technology savvy in this country. We also feel a rising interest in the cryptocurrency asset class.”
+
+BitBay India will launch operations with a 10-member team in New Delhi with a proposed plan to increase its workforce to 50 by the end of 2017.

+original-author: LEIGH CUEN  
+original-link: http://www.ibtimes.com/why-you-might-want-cryptocurrency-debit-card-2577280
+---
+
+Cryptocurrency is a hot commodity these days, but most average users still use it primarily to save or trade. Americans and Europeans are far more likely to use credit or debit cards for daily spending, instead of cash or mobile wallets. According to a 2016 Gallup poll, only 14 percent of Americans make most of their purchases with cash, while 12 percent said they almost never use cash at all. Cash isn’t king anymore, but neither is bitcoin.
+
+One of the biggest barriers to widespread bitcoin adoption is getting mainstream audiences to see cryptocurrency as real money. Could bitcoin-friendly debit cards help blockchain newbies make that leap of faith?
+
+Several fintech startups now offer cryptocurrency debit cards, through Visa and Mastercard networks, accepted anywhere that works with regular old credit cards. Coinbase, the cryptocurrency platform evaluated at more than a $1 billion, offers a debit card called Shift connected to users’ accounts. The San Francisco cryptocurrency platform first launched its bitcoin-friendly debit card back in 2015.
+
+Although Coinbase declined to comment on how many of its millions of users actually have a Shift card, Julian Hosp, founder of the Singapore-based cryptocurrency startup TenX, told International Business Times there are already thousands of active TenX debit cards.
+
+Rising market prices can yield shoppers more bang for each crypto buck. “Since they go up all the time, you are making a small cut, a small profit,” Hosp told IBT. “You are actually getting more out than you put in.”
+
+Fortune questioned the need for a prepaid bitcoin debit card, like TenX cards, which basically converts cryptocurrency back into fiat at the point of purchase anyway. Token miners and other people who earn cryptocurrency now have more opportunities to spend those tokens. For others who bought their cryptocurrency with dollars or any other fiat, why bother buying bitcoin with dollars then having a card that converts it back into fiat? It seems convoluted, but it makes sense for frequent travelers.
+
+There are additional benefits to spending cryptocurrency instead of swapping currencies for each country. Virtual money is easier to carry around and usually has lower conversion fees. “They [cryptocurrencies] are not manipulatable, you can use them all around the world,” he said. “You don’t have to trust your local government, which in some countries is very relevant. You don’t have to trust your local currencies.”
+
+In Venezuela, for example, economic instability makes currency exchange and conversion rates a nightmare. Foreigners who visited India during the sudden demonetization period last winter had a rude awakening when old rupees notes lost their value. ATM lines stretched across city blocks. New paper money was hard to come by and international credit card fees quickly piled up. TenX’s fee of up to 2 percent per transaction can sometimes be cheaper than using cards that only work with fiat currencies.
+
+According to Hosp, TenX has raised $80 million worth of cryptocurrency so far to fund its mission of bringing cryptocurrency into the mainstream. Yet it isn’t the only fintech startup using token sales to develop bitcoin-friendly cards. The Hong Kong-based startup Monaco aims to issue more than 100,000 cards by the end of 2017. According to a Monaco press statement, the startup’s ICO raised $26.7 million, with plans to release the app this month and start shipping cryptocurrency debit cards in September.
+
+“We’re going to take cryptocurrency to the mass markets,” Monaco CEO Kris Marszalek told IBT. “Take it out of this niche it’s in right now.” Marszalek said around 9,000 people participated in the startup’s ICO and 20,000 people have already subscribed to the Monaco newsletter.
+
+The fintech company plans to start in Asia, expand to Europe and eventually tap into the American market in 2018. “We want to put cryptocurrency in every wallet,” Marszalek said. “You can actually earn cash back in cryptocurrency when you spend with the card.” Those reward points would be earned in the startup’s own token, MCO. Users will also be able to convert MCO rewards to bitcoin or ether on the app, then spend it directly using their prepaid cards.
+
+Some blockchain-centric blogs and forum users warned newbies against MCO, arguing the Monaco token will probably hold little value. It currently sells for around $1.40 on cryptocurrency exchanges. The trust issue within the blockchain community isn’t solely based on Monaco’s white paper. Several members of Monaco’s leadership team, including Marszalek, were part of a failed Asian e-commerce startup called Ensogo, which some Hong Kong merchants accused of fraud.
+
+A Visa spokesperson told IBT Monaco cards have not yet been approved for a Visa network prepaid card program. If the Monaco team proves trustworthy after all, this startup’s type of combined mobile wallet and debit card service could revolutionize cryptocurrency.
+
+Today, it’s not too easy to acquire and spend cryptocurrency. That’s not to say it’s hard to use cryptocurrency. But on a scale of programmer teen to grandpa who still gets confused by Skype, it’s still pretty far towards the tech-savvy users’ end of the spectrum. There are private and public keys, long wallet addresses, plus layers of time-consuming privacy and security clearance, depending on what platform you use. The emergence of cryptocurrency credit cards could change that entirely.
+
+“Someone who is new to cryptocurrency can just buy it with our app,” Marszalek said. He compared the upcoming cards to the first iPhone or Tesla, a completely new type of product. However, there is still a lot fintech entrepreneurs can learn from cryptocurrency veterans who set up token-based debit cards.
+
+Dash, one of the world’s top 10 cryptocurrencies, has several debit card options through companies like Shapeshift, Visa and Mastercard. All of these cards are relatively new. It’s not clear how many people use them because the dash network is closer to Ethereum than Bank of America. It’s much faster than bitcoin, plus has privacy features that hide users’ balances and transactions if they choose.
+
+“I know there are around six different options available,” Dash Core CEO Ryan Taylor, the largest entity that receives funding from the decentralized dash network, told IBT. “It allows you to transfer money across borders very easily. I know of people who use cryptocurrency-enabled debit cards to pay their employees or contractors in other countries.”
+
+Dash debit cards are also incredibly fast compared to traditional debit accounts, which still have some lag time after deposit. “I could literally be in line at the store, and send some dash to my debit card, by the time I get to the front of the line I could use it,” Taylor said.
+
+Like Monaco, Dash Core has big plans for a one-stop-shop platform to help cryptocurrency rookies join the blockchain party. Next year, Dash Core’s upcoming release aims to demystify cryptocurrency for the masses with a project called Evolution.  
+
+“You’ll be able to log in with a username and password, from multiple different devices, have an account-like experience, and be able to see a list of contacts in your account you can make payments to,” Taylor said. “So you could make a payment to Ryan, instead of X7259, you know?”
+
+This platform will also let dash users access the blockchain network through a decentralized API, which means mobile transactions are faster because they don’t need to keep local copies of the blockchain. “It stores your information in the network so you can make payments very easily,” he said.
+
+Dash will soon be integrating with Stripe, the payment processing company behind online shopping options at Target and Shopify. Shopping with cryptocurrency could soon be as easy as using an Amazon account connected to a regular credit card. The dash account would already have your shipping address, phone number and billing information. There would be just one added step for security, confirming purchases on the user's’ phone.
+
+“If I were to go to a checkout page that was enabled with evolution, and get to the payment section, it would be as simple as typing in my user name and hitting enter,” Taylor said. “I’d pull my phone out, it would say: do you want to make this purchase? Here’s the details. I would put my thumb on my thumbprint reader, and I’m done.”
+
+Monaco also plans to incorporate fingerprint identification and facial recognition in the mobile app connected to its debit cards, a la security via selfies. All things considered, cryptocurrency debit cards have the potential to redefine the way we think about payments. Most of them work with a bunch of dominant fiat currencies, like dollars, euros and yen, as well as a handful of cryptocurrencies, all stored in the same mobile wallet connected to a physical card.
+
+Imagine being able to easily accept money in almost any form, store it all in one mobile wallet connected to a debit card, and swipe that one card anywhere in the world that accepts Visa or Mastercard. That idea isn’t science fiction; It’s happening now in 2017. Mastercard itself recently filed for a patent for technology that supports cryptocurrency refunds. For anyone who once questioned the tangible, functionality of cryptocurrency, this could be a game changer.
