Huawei Mate 20 Got Its First Unofficial Images Leaked Online

Also, the upcoming Huawei smartphone would boast a 3,750-mAh battery which woul have a 10% additional endurance, according to the Chinese manufacturer.

The camera is the best feature of the new Huawei Mate 20, boasting three performant cameras, of 20-MP sensors, backed up by another 2-MP one, all supported by artificial intelligence and settings that adapt to the scene. Also, the upcoming Huawei model would come out with customized 3D Qmoji.

“Let’s Go Pikachu!” and “Let’s Go Eevee!” on Nintendo Switch To Boast a New Pokemon: Meltan

The Pokemon Company confirmed a few months ago that “Let’s Go Pikachu!” and “Let’s Go Eevee!” would arrive on Nintendo Switch on November 16th. The games are inspired by the popular mobile game, Pokemon Go, and it seems that they were created to connect directly to that title. Unveiled during a special press conference in Tokyo, the two new Pokemon games were developed by Game Freak, and aim to bring to the Nintendo Switch the same fun experience of exploration that the Pokemon Go is already offering. Also, a new legendary Pokemon was revealed, in the name of Meltan.

Pokemon’s official YouTube channel revealed how the creature Meltan would appear in the new video games, “Let’s Go Pikachu!” and “Let’s Go Eevee!”. According to the release, Pokemon Go is the key to finding Meltan in the games made for Nintendo Switch, but the company did not reveal more about this.

“Most of Meltan’s body is made of liquid metal, and its shape is very fluid. He can use his liquid arms and legs to corrode metal and absorb it into his own body. Meltan generates electricity using the metal it absorbs from external sources. He uses this electricity as a source of energy and as a way of attacking through his eye. It’s clearly a curious Pokémon that is very expressive and shows interest in all sorts of things,” Pokemon Company stated.

Pokemon Go and “Let’s Go Pikachu!” and “Let’s Go Eevee!” for Nintendo Switch would be interconnected

That means you can send your mobile Pokemon characters from the Kanto region to your Switch, and you can also send gifts to Pokemon Go from your Nintendo Switch console games, “Let’s Go Pikachu!” and “Let’s Go Eevee!.”

All you need is a Joy-Con control to play, and when you’re ready to capture a new creature, all you have to do is turn the controller forward like a Poke Ball. Your friends can enter the game to explore with you with a second Joy-Con control, and you can even launch two Poke Balls with them simultaneously, which will combine to create a bigger, more effective Pok Ball.

After throwing it and capturing your target, you’ll hear your Nintendo Switch console announcing that you caught the new Meltan Pokemon. You can take the Pokemon with you and show it to your friends. The Poke Ball Plus can also be connected to the Pokemon Go game for smartphones.

The Nintendo Switch release of “Let’s Go Pikachu!” and “Let’s Go Eevee!” will be held on November 16th this year, along with the new Poke Ball Plus feature.

Google Ads To Remove Cryptocurrency Advertisements Ban in October

The renowned Google announced, through its support page, that it will partially eliminate the cryptocurrency ads ban it maintained since earlier this year on Google Ads. In this way, starting with October 2018, crypto advertisements will be allowed only for regulated cryptocurrency exchange platforms located in the United States and Japan. The restriction is still maintained for Initial Coins Offerings (ICOs), crypto wallets, and crypto investments consultants.

Cryptocurrency exchange platforms which want to advertise themselves on Google must obtain a certification issued by the company, to be authorized to conduct marketing campaigns, as Google reported in a statement released on September 25th.

Google Ads will allow cryptocurrency advertisements in the US and Japan starting with October 2018

Google Ads policy on financial products and services will be updated in October 2018 to enable regulated crypto exchanges to advertise their services in the United States and Japan. Advertisers must obtain a Google certification in the specific country in which they want to publish their cryptocurrency advertisements.

Last March, Google announced that it would begin restricting ads related to crypto coins and ICOs due to a change within its Google Ads’ financial services policy. The measure published 6 months ago went into effect in June this year. At that time, Scott Spencer, Director of Product Management and Sustainable Ads at Google, said they had seen “enough damage to the consumer or possible damage” through fraudulent advertising, so they made the decision to ban cryptocurrency advertisements.

The Google Ads’ decision to ban cryptocurrency advertisements affected the cryptos market

After Google’s decision was announced at the end of March 2018, the cryptocurrencies market suffered a fall due to the possibility of new regulatory measures. This brought the Bitcoin (BTC) price from $9,100 per unit to about $8,300, a drop of 8% in only 24 hours.

Now, Google Ads decided to remove the ban on cryptocurrency advertisements, similarly to Facebook which on June 26th announced that it considers revoking the decision to prohibit ads related to crypto coins. Both companies kept the interdiction on ICOs.

US Government Invested About $6 Million In Analyzing Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain Transactions

US government authorities have just invested $5.7 million on commercial contracts with specialized companies to analyze cryptocurrencies and blockchain transactions.

These contracted firms have offered services to the US government, according to a Diar study, to improve the fight against tax evasion, money laundering, financing of terrorism, and arms and drug trafficking in the Dark Internet markets, as well as other illegal activities that involved cryptocurrencies and blockchain transactions.

According to the research of this publication, the demand from government agencies for analyzing blockchain networks has increased along with the growth of Bitcoin (BTC) popularity and the volume of transactions confirmed on that network. Additionally, government agencies have been demanding blockchain transactions analysis services to link people’s identities to their Bitcoin (BTC) addresses.

The cryptocurrencies and blockchain enthusiasts are not happy with the US government’s decision to analyze crypto transactions

The contracted investigative firms could be tracking transactions in cryptocurrency exchange platforms or services related to cryptos to link them directly to the identity of a suspect of financial crimes.

The pseudo-anonymity of crypto coins allows intelligence agencies to follow a trail, which can often be decrypted by US government-contracted companies

On the other hand, the Diar research states that the Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) have raised in 2018 only the total of what they did last year, but the popularity of this fundraising scheme seems to be migrating to more specific and select projects. According to the data collected, 70% of the crypto tokens have a lower price than during their ICO.

According to information from TokenData, cited by Diar, by August 2018 there were only 17 projects that completed a round of funding, the minimum in one year. According to projections by Ricky Tan, founder of TokenData, it is unlikely that ICOs and pre-sales of tokens will accelerate during the remainder of the year.
