A new initiative has emerged to create a decentralized infrastructure network (DIN) that brings together major players in the technology sector, including #Microsoft and #Tencent and 16 other giants.
This project is supported by #Infura a company specilizing in the provision of cloud services for decentralized applications.
Infura is particularly known for managing the default network used by the #MetaMask wallet, which allows interaction with the Ethereum #Blockchain .
La #banque américaine J.P. Morgan a annoncé qu'elle permettait désormais à ses clients institutionnels de payer en euro grâce à son #JPMCoin , un #token basé sur la technologie #blockchain . Ce système offre des avantages par rapport aux réseaux bancaires traditionnels, tels que la rapidité, la sécurité et la réduction des frais.Le JPM Coin fonctionne sur le réseau #Liink, une blockchain privée développée par J.P. Morgan, qui permet également de partager et de vérifier des informations financières. Le #JPMCoin peut être échangé avec d'autres devises, comme le dollar américain, à travers le réseau Liink.L'entreprise #Siemens a réalisé la première transaction en #euro avec le JPM Coin le 23 juin 2023. Depuis son lancement en 2019, le JPM Coin aurait permis de réaliser plus de 300 milliards de dollars de transactions.J.P. Morgan is not the only institution financial interested 67 613626720to la blockchain for cross-border payments. #Visa, by676136267 20example, a developed sa own solution, Visa B2B Connect, qui6761 3626720also uses the blockchain to facilitate transfers between companies.La67 613626720blockchain represents therefore an opportunity for the sector banking, which does face to of problems of slowness, error and676136267 20of cost with the system current of correspondence banking.

In the United States, Marathon Digital will create a Bitcoin mining farm using energy generated from methane produced by a landfill owned by Nadal Power.
The first tests will initially be carried out with a power of 280 kW/h.
#Binance , the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, has strengthened the security of its users with the launch of #wallet "BNB Safe". This wallet is based on the Gnosis Safe protocol, which allows digital assets to be managed in a decentralized and collective manner.
The “BNB Safe” wallet is available on the channel #BNB , a #blockchain dedicated to smart contracts and decentralized finance. It offers a simple and intuitive interface to access #dApps (decentralized applications) and DeFi (decentralized finance) services on the BNB chain. Users can also send and receive BNB tokens, the native currency of the BNB chain, as well as other tokens compatible with the BEP-2 and BEP-20 standards.
The “BNB Safe” wallet stands out from other cryptocurrency wallets by its security and ease of use. It allows users to control their private keys without having to enter them or store them on a centralized server. It also uses a PIN or fingerprint to authenticate transactions. In addition, it integrates practical features such as QR code scanning, instant token swap and testnet support.
The “BNB Safe” wallet is an essential tool for cryptocurrency enthusiasts who wish to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the BNB chain, which is positioned as an alternative to Ethereum in terms of speed, cost and innovation. With the “BNB Safe” wallet, users can explore the thriving ecosystem of the BNB chain, which has more than 1000 dApps and more than 200 DeFi projects.
“I worked on a new electronic cash system, which works entirely peer-to-peer, without a trusted third party.
The main characteristics:
- Double spending is avoided thanks to a peer-to-peer network. - No currency or other trusted third parties. - Participants can be anonymous. - New coins are created using#Hashcashproof of work. - Proof of work for generating new coins also powers the network to prevent double spending.
Summary :
A fully peer-to-peer electronic money system would allow online payments to be made directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution. Digital signatures offer such a solution, but lose their interest when a trusted third party is required to prevent double payment.
We propose a solution to this problem using a peer-to-peer network. The network timestamps transactions using a hash function that translates them into a continuous chain of proof-of-work, forming a record that cannot be changed without re-performing the proof-of-work.
The longest chain serves not only as proof of how the observed events unfolded, but also as proof that it comes from the largest pool of computing power.
As long as the majority of computing power is controlled by nodes that do not cooperate in attacking the network, they will generate the longest chain and outperform the attackers.
The network itself requires only a reduced structure. Messages are broadcast on a best-effort basis, and nodes can leave or rejoin the network at will, accepting the longest proof-of-work chain upon return as proof of what happened while they were away.
Imagine you have $253 million in #bitcoins on a USB stick, but you can't remember the password to access it. This is the situation in which Stefan Thomas finds himself, a German programmer who received these bitcoins in 2011 for a video he made.
He only has two attempts left to enter the correct code, otherwise he will lose his precious bitcoins forever. But he hasn't said his last word. He was contacted by an American #startup , Cipher Mining, who offered to help him unlock his USB key.
How ? By using a brute force technique, which consists of trying millions of possible combinations of passwords until the right one is found. Cipher Mining claims to have already managed to recover several #crypto wallets in the past, in exchange for part of the sum.
Will Stefan Thomas accept this offer? Or will he prefer to keep hoping to find his password on his own? At the moment he doesn't seem interested in receiving help. What would your decision be if you were in his place?
