Bitcoin Cryptocurrencies Investments

Hope you didn’t fall for this trick. Someone pretend to be Mcafee or Mcafee representative and created a fake Medium account posted a draft article on free airdrop celebrating Mcafee released. Unfortunately it’s fake, and whoever been sending ETH or BTC hoping to get some Bitcoin or Ethereum return airdrop.

The article posted here https://medium.com/@kbk8BFejtTDadQH/43f7cf65f198 in draft format and probably will get deleted soon. The author is fake Mcafee, unverified account with no credential, apparently Medium somehow allow draft article posted in public view and even the famous CNET news website fell for this trick also, apparently CNET news https://www.cnet.com/news/john-mcafee-tweets-photos-of-jail-stay-airdrops-bitcoin/ mentioned the free airdrop which making me loose faith with CNET news now.

This is the twit https://twitter.com/officialmc27m/status/1154514720100982785 on the fake Mcafee free airdrop, will probably get deleted soon. https://twitter.com/bitcoinagile/status/1153752346343739393

This is the scammer Bitcoin address. https://www.blockchain.com/search?search=154iaYoFAgNgNKKHUhXDtSz9USxp7YSzeT you will see that there were a few people fell for this scam by sending some Bitcoin and expect to get more back.

This is the scammer Ethereum address. https://etherscan.io/address/0xCb71F740904245657d39Fb73cf787a256D0b71e8 there are quite a few people sending ETH to that address expect to get more back from free airdrop, apparently these folks didn’t know it’s a scam. https://getmemyetherss.tumblr.com/?source=post_page—————————

Luckily, I do not do anything with my account at cryptocompare.com so the hacker or whoever got my account and password can’t do much with it. In fact I did not even change my password, just let it be. It’s good that crypto compare notified me.

Hi Everyone!
Super exciting news! We’ve just undertaken a successful fork to an improved blockchain model that we have developed called Proof of Responsibility. This model brings a new level of confidence, security and scalability required to achieve mass adoption.
We have developed our blockchain to:
Become one of the few cryptocurrencies that is insusceptible to 51% attack
Reduce our block reward (new coin emission) by 75%
Increase scalability, confidence and commercial viability
Speed up on-chain transactions
Involve relevant and influential Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in the Electroneum project.
With this development we have engineered two new blockchain processes; Proof of Responsibility and Moderated blockchain. Delivering all the benefits of decentralisation whilst adding new layers of protection.
(A 17 minute video version with even more detail is available here: https://youtu.be/OuhHKFRiuzw)
IMPORTANT
If you run a full node (i.e. if you are a technical user or an exchange) you need to ensure you download and use the latest software from our Github library (https://github.com/electroneum/electroneum).
If you are a mobile user – no action is required.
Proof of Responsibility
We have moved from Proof of Work (used by the majority of cryptocurrencies) to a new way of mining Electroneum that we call Proof of Responsibility. It is a decentralised network layer that is run by responsible global organisations operating in the developing world that have been qualified to participate. This achieves a number of things:
It means that the NGOs get the block reward and they will use it to help the same target people in the countries we are empowering with ETN this year.
A huge increase in the security of the ETN network via our highly trusted nodes makes us insusceptible to a 51% attack on our network.
Radically reduces power consumption of the Electroneum blockchain making it more environmentally friendly than most other cryptocurrencies. Our new blockchain runs on ONE MILLIONTH of the electricity that it took before!
It educates NGOs about the Electroneum project and furthers the legitimacy of all cryptocurrencies by making them valuable to influential organisations.
75% Block Reward Reduction
Each ETN block that gets added to the blockchain releases a block reward. This reward has been reduced by 75%. We had a very large block reward when we launched to encourage hashing power, but we no longer need that enormous hashing power as we’ve launched our new Proof of Responsibility Blockchain. This reduction in output increases the length of time that the block reward lasts for (like Bitcoin, ETN has a finite maximum supply). The remaining 25% of the block reward goes to the new miners on our decentralised layer (see below).
Moderated Blockchain (Additional Security via Highly Trusted Nodes)
We’ve changed the way our blockchain operates to hugely increase the security. We have created a new blockchain model called Moderated Blockchain.
Our moderated blockchain operates two layers:
Layer One: A decentralised layer where our trusted miners operate their mining servers and handle the ETN transactions.
Layer Two: A second layer of highly trusted nodes is operated by us (Electroneum) as a company.
People already trust Electroneum as a brand, they trust us with the instant payment system, the custodial wallet app system and with the KYC/AML system. This blockchain update utilises that trust to add a new layer of highly trusted nodes to the blockchain.
These highly trusted nodes passively monitor the blockchain for unusual or damaging activity and have the power to shut down that activity in seconds.
Video with more details
I’ve made a lengthy video that explains more about it here: https://youtu.be/OuhHKFRiuzw
Thanks for taking the time to read this message and for being part of Electroneum.

Hi ,
Kraken is performing a system upgrade on Sunday, July 14 at 21:00 UTC. Please expect services to be offline for 3 – 8 hours.
What’s the purpose of this downtime?
We’re performing an upgrade that will improve latency and performance, as well as enable us to bring you more exciting features in the near future.
How does this affect me?
All spot exchange services including trading, funding and account access will be temporarily disabled. Margin positions won’t be closed or liquidated. Check our status and Twitter for updates and an announcement when the upgrade is complete.
Can I still trade futures?
Yes! If you’re signed in to your Kraken Futures account prior to the start of the upgrade you’ll be able to trade futures without interruption. Go to https://futures.kraken.com.
Are there limitations with futures?
You cannot transfer funds during the upgrade. Prepare your account to be well-collateralized before the upgrade to avoid unwanted liquidations. If you log out during the upgrade, you’ll have to wait until the upgrade is complete to regain access.
What happens after the upgrade is complete?
Watch our status updates so you know when we’re approaching completion. You’ll have a 30-minute window to cancel orders before trading and order creation are enabled. Deposits sent during the upgrade will begin to be processed. Withdrawals will resume shortly thereafter.
What happens after trading is enabled?
Prices and the order book may be different when compared to before the upgrade. Unexpected volatility or illiquidity may exist. Consider using limit orders to avoid trades executing at unexpected prices. Margin positions will close or liquidate as they typically do. Prepare your account to be well-collateralized and/or close your positions before the upgrade to avoid unwanted liquidations caused by abrupt price changes.
We appreciate your patience during the system upgrade.
