    Google Competitor Presearch Launches Decentralized Search Engine

    Blockchain-based startup Presearch has released a decentralized search engine to help provide a more private alternative to Google. Taking a play out of privacy-centric web browser Brave’s book, it also rewards its users with it native crypto token, PRE.  The Ethereum-based project uses searches powered by independent nodes to help protect the identity of the people who make queries for data.

    How crypto can help make Andrew Yang's ‘data dividend’ a reality

    Former presidential candidate and crypto advocate Andrew Yang took to the op-ed pages of the LA Times on Tuesday to lay out his vision for how to make companies pay for their users’ data. And lucky for Yang and his acolytes, there are crypto startups already working to make this happen. In his op-ed, Yang announced the creation of a public-benefit corporation, the Data Dividend Project, which aims to help enable people to control the use of their data and allow for compensation of approved use o...

    New law threatens Puerto Rico’s status as crypto tax haven

    Crypto investors and entrepreneurs looking to take advantage of Puerto Rico’s favorable tax incentives will now find it more costly to do so. Late last week, Governor Wanda Vazquez signed Law 40-2020 into effect, which made a key change to the rules that govern tax incentives for new residents. Previously, investors who moved to the island and applied for these incentives were required to pay a yearly fee of $300 for the privilege. The new law increases that yearly fee to $5,000. The Puerto Rica...

    FIO protocol aims to make crypto transactions easy, but still private

    There’s a new way to send and receive crypto while avoiding complicated, hard-to-remember addresses--and it’s got the support of some major players in the industry. The Foundation for Interwallet Operability (FIO) protocol, which last year raised $5.7 million in a Series A led by Binance Labs, went live with its mainnet earlier this week. The idea behind the FIO protocol is to help improve usability of crypto products and grow mainstream adoption with easy to remember addresses and domain names....

A mix of local crypto enthusiasts and tourists gathered on the island late last week to discuss Puerto Rico’s potential as a hub of blockchain investing and industry. Its speaker list featured heavyweight crypto luminaries who have spent considerable time and money in...

    The Gladius Network, a cybersecurity company that raised nearly $13 million in an ICO in late 2017, has shut down. The company’s co-founder and CTO, Alex Godwin, made the announcement over the weekend via the firm’s official Telegram channel. “We regret to inform you that Gladius Network LLC has ceased operations effective immediately and has filed for dissolution,” Godwin said in a statement signed by the “Gladius Team.” The company, which earlier this year settled with the SEC over its unregis...

    Cryptopia liquidator calls on token developers to help return hacked funds

    Cryptocurrency exchange Cryptopia suffered a business-ending hack earlier this year when cyber criminals looted the firm of more than $16 million-worth of Ethereum and ERC-20 tokens. Now, the long, arduous process of sorting out that mess presses forward, with token developers scheduled to meet tomorrow, October 7, to lend a hand. Just weeks ago, the New Zealand-based accounting firm Grant Thornton, responsible for leading Cryptopia’s liquidation process, reached out via email to affected token...

    Substratum burns through $13 million in ICO funds in two years, lays off staff

    Substratum entered the crypto scene in 2017 with big dreams—a vision to recreate a “a free and fair Internet.” And it raised some big money to do it. The company raked in $13.8 million in a token sale during the ICO gold rush. Now, Substratum is broke. And some investors are crying foul. The company announced in a Medium post yesterday that it is now entering a “transition” phase after draining its coffers of the nearly $14 million it raised in an ICO less than two years ago. So far, Substratum...

    Brave says Google is (still) secretly sharing your personal data with advertisers

    Brave Software, the company behind the privacy-focused, open-source Brave browser, has accused Google of secretly using a “workaround” to avoid adhering to strict European Union privacy regulations. Google is allegedly using hidden web pages—a mechanism called “Push Pages”—that scoop up and deliver personally identifiable data to advertisers, violating the tech giant’s own publicly stated privacy policies, according to findings published by Brave on Wednesday.

    Ethereum Name Service launches auction for shorter, "simpler" blockchain domains

    Are long, cumbersome cryptocurrency addresses holding the industry back from wider adoption? The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) thinks it might—and it’s taken another step on its mission to eventually make them obsolete. Over the weekend, the Ethereum Name Service launched an auction for short .eth domain names on the OpenSea decentralized marketplace. All three to six-character-long domain names that were not among the 194 approved during the reservation period that closed in mid-August are now up...
