GogoCoin和Blockchain合作赠送内含比特币的卡片
by
q119108
on 08/06/2014, 15:06:14 UTC
比特币预支付卡专家GogoCoin宣布了一个重要合作伙伴Blockchain,两家公司准备发行一种白色标签卡片,它可以帮助用户快速的设置比特币钱包。这种Blockchain卡片内含2mBTC,准备作为推广其钱包服务的赠品发放。

Tom Longson是GogoCoin的CEO,告诉CoinDesk他相信这个卡片可以提高比特币的社会接受度。他说:
“它非常简单,没有任何复杂的步骤。你不必对比特币了解的多么深刻就可以直接使用。”

和Blockchain的关系
Longson说和Blockchain的合作是为了做市场推广,他说:
“本质上得到此卡片其实是得到一个Blockchain的钱包。所以这是一种让人们去注册钱包的途径。”

收到Blockchain的卡片按照背面的提示登入redeem.bitcoin.com。然后他们可以用刮开的密码在此钱包得到2mBTC.

这种合作关系让Blockchain有效的使用它的bitcoin.com域名,使此成为便于消费者使用比特币的通道。

Longson继续说,这种合作关系是无需多加考虑的:
“这种合作关系非常棒,我们真的很喜欢Blockchain长久以来所做的事情。他们的服务从基础方面来说是可以长久的持续的,据我所知。”
Longson说这种白色标签卡片是和Blockchain.info一体的,它能帮助每个人和虚拟货币联系起来:“如果Blockchain的这种赠品卡片能让更多的人知道比特币是什么,那么我们就是双赢,不但对Blockchain来说是成功的,也对整个圈子是成功的。”他说。

研究表明投机并非影响比特币价格的唯一因素
by
q119108
on 08/06/2014, 15:05:15 UTC
到底哪些因素影响着比特币的价格,学者和投资人都有自己的见解。近日布拉格查理斯大学经济研究院的Ladislav Kristoufek发表了“谁是比特币价格的主要推动者”的论文,建立数学模型进行相关性分析,研究比特币价格变动的因素。

中国因素:Kristoufek 认为尽管中国的一些事件确实对国际市场造成了影响,但是对价格影响甚微。

比特币并非避险资产:Kristoufek 以塞浦路斯的金融危机为例,使用克利夫兰联储银行的金融压力指数和瑞士法郎计价的黄金价格,没有发现比特币和被视为避险资产的黄金之间有很强的关联,据此推断比特币算不上避险资产。

市场情绪:Kristoufek 的研究发现之一是投资者兴趣和比特币普及度对价格有影响,而且在市场处于上行和下行时影响力是不均衡的。他比较价格变化时在网络上的搜索量,发现负面关注比正面关注更能影响价格。

基础因素:很多分析人士认为投机是影响比特币价格的最关键因素,Kristoufek 并没有直接反驳这种说法,只是假设市场上有多种基础性因素。他认为,虽然比特币通常被视为投机品,但是能发现很多基础因素在价格的长期性变动中起作用,比如交易量、货币供应和价格水平等。

近日 Multipool 添加了对 X11 算法支持,可以购买算力挖基于 X11 算法的数字货币。基于X11算法的币种包括 DarkCoin(暗黑币)、LibertyCoin(自由币)。

另外最近关注度较高的 LibertyCoin (自由币)通告将提供匿名支付功能,但LibertyCoin 的钱包功能目前还处于测试阶段。

基于 X11 算法的数字货币具有提供匿名支付功能的优势,不过最近基于X11算法的数字货币价格略有下跌。LibertyCoin日成交量低至400 Bitcoin/天。

美国国家监管机构正在研究首个比特币规则书
by
q119108
on 18/05/2014, 10:59:55 UTC
美国国家监管机构一个工作组正在研究第一个比特币规则书,该组的负责人表示,希望能够保护虚拟货币的用户免受欺诈而不扼杀刚刚起步的技术。

在美国,许多公司提供给客户能用虚拟货币支付的商品和服务。但是,由于比特币不是由联邦政府监管,在50个州,用户面临规则的迷惑。

“我们可能会寻找某种类型的模型定义,示范法律或法规,极有可能向我们的联邦同事或国会提出建议, ”David Cotney ,银行马萨诸塞州专员,上周五在一个公开听证会场边告诉路透社记者。

二月份,Cotney被任命为新兴支付工作队的领队,国家银行监事会议(钟声慈善社)的九名成员组成这个工作队。他说,工作队给自己大约一年的时间完成任务。

工作队期待对虚拟货币作出更清晰的定义,运营商需要加以规范,哪些能做,那些不能做, Cotney在接受采访时说。

到目前为止,联邦监管机构一直比较沉默。财政部的金融犯罪执法网络部(FinCEN)去年明确了管比特币的持有者和交易者都是比特币的发送者,这使比特币在国家外汇法律的管辖之下。

美国商品期货交易委员会正在研究他们是否有管辖权,因为一些公司正在考虑推出比特币的衍生品。美国国税局已指定比特币是资产,而不是货币。

尼科西亚大学开设世界上第一个数字货币硕士课程
by
q119108
on 18/05/2014, 10:57:46 UTC
世界上第一个数字货币科学硕士学位课程于5月15日在塞浦路斯互联网上以介绍数字货币课程开始揭开序幕。整个硕士学位包括9个必修及选修课程。

第一个课程是DFIN -511 (介绍数字货币),它以网络公开课( MOOC )形式授课,因此有任何可接入互联网的终端的人都可以利用这个大好机会学习该课程。希望继续学习该课程的学生完成DFIN - 511课程获得的学分将继续有效。另外,这些学生希望利用这个难得的机会,又希望这可以跟着自己的步伐走以及没有最终压力(可以放弃期末考试)。

尼科西亚大学(UNIC)在2013年首次公布其数字货币倡议,现在他们已经成功地达到既定目标,并推出世界上第一个数字货币硕士学位项目。

今日《每日邮报》一篇非权威的文章称,英国坎布里亚大学是第一所接受比特币支付学费的教育机构,尼科西亚大学已经收到了数笔用比特币支付的学费。早在2013年, Francois Rossouw成为世界上第一个使用比特币支付学费的人,而在2014年初,Caleb Chen加入了他的行列。此外,坎布里亚大学只有两种特定课程接受比特币支付,相比之下,尼科西亚大学接受比特币支付所有的课程,而不仅仅是那些数字货币的硕士课程。

除了上述两所大学,世界各地的其他几个大学(无论是学生或教师)也对比特币越来越感兴趣。麻省理工学院计划为该校的每一个本科生发放价值100美元的比特币。Coinbase也正试图赠送价值10美元的比特币给世界上每一位大学生。与此同时,纽约大学近期也将开设一个比特币的研究生课程。尼科西亚大学已经开启了非常前沿的先河,所以当全球第二个数字货币的硕士课程公布时不要感到惊讶。

中国可能干扰主要的比特币网站
by
q119108
on 17/05/2014, 10:05:49 UTC
 彩云比特报道,据消息人士说,中国政府可能会限制访问比特币网站,如Blockchain,BTC-e和Coinbase,从而抑制比特币的推广。上周,中国政府曾试图让国内媒体不报道在北京举办的比特币2014国际峰会,并且将在国内实施更广泛的新闻限制。
  比特币基金会董事会成员,比特币中国首席执行官李启元证实,中国互联网用户已经报告,难以通过PC电脑访问某些受欢迎的比特币网站:“对这些网站的封锁,似乎是有选择性的,在不同地区,不同的时间,造成不同程度的影响。”他认为,中国政府试图使访问这些网站变得不稳定,从而让它们看起来是不可靠的。他同时指出,类似的行动并非没有先例,中国此前已经对Google采取同样的措施。
  虽然受影响网站的完整名单还不清楚,但是消息人士说,知名的比特币公司都会受到影响。风投公司BitAngelsClub的联合创始人Eric Gu说,网站出现问题的消息是昨天首先被报道的:“有些人无法访问Blockchain钱包,然后我们意识到,BTC-e和Coinbase也时好时坏。”
  风险投资人Rui Ma在Twitter列出了一些怀疑被墙的网站,并指出手机访问并不受影响。“中国墙掉了@blockchain @coinbase 甚至 @anxbtc,但是手机访问ok,反应过度了?”
  Gu告诉CoinDesk,网站的问题不会影响比特币社区,社区已经习惯应付挫折了。“比特币重度使用者可以科学上网,而初学者不使用Blockchain和BTC-e也无妨。”他计划在上海出席即将到来的聚会,无论政府采取什么行动,仍有200人希望去听Ethereum创始人Vitalik Buterin的报告。

Representatives from several bitcoin businesses told a panel of state banking regulators today that the current regulatory environment is making it difficult for them to build partnerships with banks.

Executives from BitPay, Xapo, SecondMarket and CoinX spoke before a meeting of the Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS) Emerging Payments Task Force in Chicago.

Bitcoin May Be Coming To PayPal Soon, But Critics Say It's Not Worth The Trouble
by
q119108
on 17/05/2014, 09:14:28 UTC
With eBay adding a digital currency section last month and its CEO recently saying that bitcoin has a future in PayPal wallets, the digital currency seems to have vaulted a few steps closer to legitimacy as a payment option for consumers.

The online marketplace giant is “actively considering” integrating bitcoin into PayPal, its payment processing company, eBay CEO John Donahoe said in a Q&A session with shareholders on Tuesday. The comment echoed his statement in February that there was nothing preventing eBay from including digital currencies in PayPal wallets. "In fact, PayPal is pursuing digital payments and is the leading digital payments alternative in many different environments," Donahoe said. 

But critics warn against the use of bitcoin in such transactions. Mark Williams, a finance and economics professor and financial expert at Boston University, believes the cryptocurrency offers nothing better than PayPal’s current, and nearly ubiquitous, payment processing system, called ACH (Automated Clearing House). Started in the 1970s, ACH is a network for financial transactions that processes the majority of credit and debit transactions.

“When we think about where eBay is right now,” Williams told International Business Times, “the backbone of PayPal is the ACH system, which is tried, true and stable. When we compare that to bitcoin, it [bitcoin] isn’t stable.”

Indeed, bitcoin is known for being highly volatile; its price price has sometimes swung several hundred dollars in the span of a month. This presents unique challenges for programmers when considering how to correctly implement the currency into payment systems. Year to date, the price of bitcoin in USD has risen from $770 to a high of $950 before sliding down to the current price of $445, in a series of climbs and falls.

“Bitcoin is an experiment,” Williams says, reciting the mantra of many bitcoin proponents. “But we have four decades of testing, of real market testing” on ACH.

He also cites the collapse in April of the large Japan-based bitcoin exchange MtGox as proof of how unsafe bitcoin is.

But MtGox’s loss of nearly 7 percent of all available bitcoin may not deter eBay’s Donahoe.

In April, eBay added a virtual currency section on its site, where shoppers can purchase digital currency, mining equipment or mining contracts. While each sale is different, some currency vendors charge fees upward of 10 percent to purchase bitcoins, which may prevent some shoppers from getting into the currency. Additionally, with the price fluctuation, shoppers should consider the average price per bitcoin before buying currency on eBay as the price might reflect higher or lower values.

For PayPal, the integration of bitcoin could provide an alternative way for consumers to pay for products. While some have suggested that the virtual currency could reduce fees, PayPal has not commented on how its fee system will work if they incorporate bitcoin. Currently, PayPal charges about 3 percent to merchants selling their wares through the digital wallet.

For now, PayPal and eBay are not accepting bitcoin, and with no active timeline from Donahoe or the site, it's unclear as to when eBay might start using the digital currency, if at all.

The Future of Touchless Payments – Why iBeacon Technology Needs Bitcoin?
by
q119108
on 17/05/2014, 09:01:50 UTC
Apple released a device update weeks ago that made large improvements on existing iBeacon technology. The update allows devices to search for existing beacons without the application being open on the device, while also enabling nearly all iOS7 devices to send and receive beacon signals. This means that retailers can send messages to customers, accept touchless payment and gain valuable customer information, all without dedicated hardware. There is little question that Apple has plans to dominate mobile commerce, but did they make a mistake by outlawing digital payment systems like Bitcoin?

外媒:中国可能正在限制访问比特币行业网站

on 17/05/2014, 04:29:01 UTC
5月17日消息,中国政府将要通过限制访问人气较高的行业网站如:BlockChain、Coinbase、BTC-e,来抑制比特币交易。早于上星期在北京召开的全球比特币峰会,中国已在寻求限制国内媒体报道的方法,且对媒体更广泛的的限制已在中国开始实施。

比特币中国CEO Bobby Lee证实,中国政府可能正在降低这些网站的稳定行,使这些网站显得不可靠。Bobby Lee进一步指出,此等行动并不是史无前例的,中国之前也曾采取行动限制用户访问网站,比如谷歌网站。

BitAngelsClub创始人之一 Eric Gu 告诉Coindesk,网站问题将对比特币团体来说会有一些挫折。但 Eric Gu 仍然计划参加上海即将举办的峰会,不管政府有任何举动。
