The Reserve Bank of India Consider The Development of a Crypto Token for Financial Transactions across India

Despite maintaining a strong position against cryptocurrency, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announced in its annual report for 2017-2018, published on Wednesday, the establishment of an interdepartmental committee charged with creating a cryptocurrency mechanism for financial transactions in the country.

Price bubbles in cryptocurrencies market still raising concerns of the RBI

The RBI devotes a full section to cryptos in the annual report 2017-2018, under the title “Cryptocurrencies: Evolving Challenges,” in which it begins by ratifying the strong cryptocurrency regulatory policy that this institution has deployed against cryptos across India.

“Although cryptocurrencies do not pose systemic risks at present, their growing popularity leading to price bubbles raises serious concerns in the area of consumer and investor protection, as well as for market integrity,” said the Reserve bank of India (RBI) in its Annual Report 2017-2018.

The Reserve Bank of India plans on launching a crypto token to conduct financial transactions across India

On August 10th, local sources reported the creation of an Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC) composed of members of the RBI, the Ministry of Information Technology and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). This committee is responsible for considering the launch of a crypto token for financial transactions in India, including a set of regulations and a roadmap for its use.

“Rapid changes in the payment industry, coupled with factors such as the emergence of private digital tokens and the rising costs of managing fiat currency, have led central banks around the world to explore the option of introducing digital fiat coins. In India, an interdepartmental group has been set up to study and provide guidance on the feasibility of introducing a crypto token issued by the central bank,” the Annual Report 2017-2018 of RBI reads.

Even though the RBI kept its negative stance regarding cryptocurrencies, they plan on releasing a crypto token to conduct financial transactions across India.

Lisk (LSK) Continues The Migration That Began After The Launch Of Lisk Core 1.0

After the release of Lisk Core 1.0 on its core network, Lisk (LSK) continues the migration that began this Wednesday with the integration between the core software and the application design tools and side strings that had been released over the past few weeks. In this set of updates, there also is the newest version of Lisk Explorer 2.1.4 and the latest version of the Lisk Nano Wallet 2.0.0.

Lisk Core 1.0 is the product of two and a half years of evolution through 41 successive releases, which included thousands of community reviews, the Lisk team says in its blog. The launch of the components was done before the Core 1.0 software, with the aim of ensuring compatibility with the redesigned API.

Among the new features of this code repository that separates functionalities in different areas, is a new API client, compatible with the new public API available in Lisk Core 1.0. The security of the message signing process was also enhanced with the addition of a specific header for the Lisk protocol. For advanced users of the Lisk network, familiar with the direct execution of commands in JavaScript, the command line interface was renewed. This direct interaction tool with Lisk Core is now called Line Commander 1.0.

Lisk Core 1.0 brings new features for other Lisk (LSK) network’s products, as well

The new Lisk Hub is the tool that manages identity in Lisk, accesses Lisk (LSK) tokens and sends them. The Lisk team worked on both version 1.0 and the new version 1.1 of Lisk Hub to make them compatible with the latest versions of the API and new Lisk Elements. For end users, the migration will be done transparently through an automatic updater.

Regarding the Lisk Explorer 2.1.4, apart from support for Lisk Core 1.0, the Lisk team points out that there are upcoming announcements about new features and capabilities of this software.

Lisk Core 1.0 was activated this Wednesday in its main network along with new versions of the rest of the components, which makes a better offer to developers, as it includes new features such as the ICO Suite, the handling of side chains in the platform, and the ability to create and customize tokens.

GTA 6 Release Date: Is GTA 6 Getting Closer To Official Announcement? We Don’t Think So…

Millions of fans around the world are waiting for the official announcement of the next title in the Grand Theft Auto franchise. However, any official info on GTA 6 is late from emerging. Many rumors appeared online debating when GTA 6 release date will take place and where the action would happen. But, we don’t think Grand Theft Auto VI is getting closer to its official announcement.

GTA 6 rumors – What we know so far…

Even though many bloggers and YouTubers released dozens of rumors on GTA 6, only one of these guys claimed his information is based on insider information. The YouTube channel “The Know” released earlier this year, in March 2018, a video that said that the upcoming title in the Grand Theft Auto franchise would come out somewhen between 2020-2022 and would take place in Vice City.

According to “The Know,” Rockstar dubbed it as “Project Americas” and is working on the game, as we speak. They also claimed that their source talked about the possibility of the gamers to travel from Vice City to a yet undisclosed country in South America to accomplish some missions there.

Also, Grand Theft Auto VI will reportedly allow gamers to impersonate a female main character for the first time in the franchise.

GTA 6 release date – Rockstar will not announce GTA 6 anytime soon

Maybe indeed Rockstar is currently working on the new title of the Grand Theft Auto franchise, but they are also enjoying the great success that GTA 5 and GTA Online still have, so they have no reason to hurry up with the release of GTA 6.

Accordingly, although they are developing the basics of the future game right now, and assuming that some of the before-mentioned rumors are correct, Rockstar might change a lot until the final version launches.

And, by the way, there is nothing official on the GTA 6 release date, so we should take every rumor in that regard with a grain of salt. From what we know so far, Rockstar might announce the new title in 2019-2020, while the final version of Grand Theft Auto VI might hit shelves between 2020 and 2022.
