Samsung: for crypto transactions, it is safer to use a smartphone

Samsung experts say that with the right settings, data storage in smartphones is almost impossible to hack in order to obtain the keys to the installed crypto-currency purse and other data. As stated in the study, most smartphones use TEE, which is a separate execution environment with its own memory and storage, isolated from the main storage device. Accordingly, even the operating system can not interfere with the processes occurring there to change the data.

The developers of Ethereum offered to reduce the award for the block by 33%

Developers of the network Ethereum offered to reduce the award for the block from 3 to 2 Ether. In their opinion, this will help to maintain a balance in the network and compensate for the postponement of the so-called "ice age". It should be noted that the transition of the Ethereum network to the PoS algorithm implies an increase in the complexity of mining, and because the Casper protocol can be delayed, the team tries to delay the "ice age". According to the projections of the developers, the existing network will become virtually unusable by 2021 - by that time all miners that produce the Ether must switch to PoS.

CoinMarketCap admitted in the error in the calculations, which caused the "growth" in prices of a number of altcoins by 1000%

The "data problem" on CoinMarketCap caused serious artificial inflation of the coins placed on the platform on Friday, inflating the prices of some coin by almost 1000%.

"There was a mistake calculating the price of Tether, which entailed the artificial inflation of any coin paired with Tether"

The market was starting to see a new activity after each of the bubbles, and this is what we are seeing right now ".
