The Revolutionary Exchange -DEXAGE- has secured an IEO on BitForex and Exmarkets.

Dexage a  user-centric  Hybrid exchange startup has proven that it is a viable project from its recent vetting and approval for an IEO on two reputable exchanges.

If you have been following this project, you will know that team has not deviated from its road map. Its ICO ended May 31st 2019 and its IEO is started on the 22nd of June 2019.  Its investors are delighted with this development and the tenacity of the Dexage team. The question you might have now is; What is an IEO? And how do I participate in the Dexage project?

Here are 4 parts for easy understanding and quick assimilation.

What is an IEO?

An IEO is a way through which cryptocurrency startups raise money to execute their project. The acronym IEO stands for Initial Exchange Offering. It is an advancement in ICO (Initial Coin Offering) because it is conducted on an exchange rather than the startup’s website.

ICOs are unregulated and thus dubious projects were able to raise money through this means from unsuspecting investors.  In 2017 and early 2018, billions of dollars were generated through ICOs, however, nearly 80 percent of these ICOs were identified as scam.

IEOs are safer, legitimate and more reputable form of ICOs; Because they are conducted on Exchanges, these Exchanges want to maintain their trust and reputation thus they strictly vet these startups before listing their token for IEO.

Another advantage of IEOs is that the tokens sold are received immediately and these tokens become available for trading on the exchange that conducted the IEO.

One of the first IEOs was carried out on BinanceLauchpad; $7.2 million was raised in the sales of BitTorrent token in less than 15 minutes. In Fetch.AI’s IEO the hard cap of $6 million was reached in 22 seconds.

It is safe to say that tokens issues through IEOs are tokens from a legit project.

Who does the IEO benefit?

An IEO is of benefit to the investor, the startup and the Exchange. When an investor invests in a startup through an IEO, he can rest assured that the project has been vetted by Exchange before its listed thus the risk of investing in fraudulent Project is eliminated.

The Startup saves money and time in heavy unprofitable marketing, in looking for an exchange to list its token for trading after crowd sale, and in competing with fraudulent Startups in the free ICO market. They only need to concentrate more in developing their project.

The Exchange gains the satisfaction that they are listing a token they have vetted to be legit; they also earn in listing fee and fees from trading of the token on its platform.

Why did Dexage go into IEO?

Dexage is a decentralized exchange with a multi-tier trading ecosystem. It features include

  • Decentralized Crypto Exchange
  • Centralized Exchange
  • P2P Fiat -Crypto Trading
  • DXG Staking
  • P2P Lending
  • Mobile Chat Dapp for Socio-economic Transaction
  • DXG Decentralized Automated Organization
  • Intelligent One-Click Diversification for Crypto Asset Manager

The legitimacy of Dexage has been proven by 2 reputable exchanges that have vetted and approved the Dexage IEO on their platform.

Where and When will the Dexage IEO be carried out?

The Dexage IEO will be carried out on two exchanges

Bitforex is an exchange that is registered in the Republic of Seychelles, it has bases in Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong etc. Its 24 hours trading volume is about 1.2 billion USD. Most IEO that run on this platform get sold out.

Dexage IEO on BitForex is slated to run from the 1st of July to the 5th of July 2019.

Exmarkets is an exchange that is a subsidiary of Chain Framework ltd.

Dexage IEO on Exmarkets will run from the 22nd of June to the 8th of July 2019

Trading of the DXG tokens both platforms start on the 22nd of July 2019.

Note that once a coin is sold out on a platform, the IEO will automatically end on that platform.

CONCLUSION

Dexage if a platform that will revolutionize Trading. It’s a project trader are looking up to as it gives traders complete control of their funds eliminating middle man fraud or Hackers invasion.

The approval of the project by BitForex and Exmarkets further proves that its solid.

Investors who are yet to invest in the project still have an opportunity. Head over to Bitforex and Exmarkets create an account and buy during the IEO. The IEO price is $0.0008 per DXG token.

July 1, 2019 Webhits.io is to launch a beta platform with WEB token integration

The Webcoin project announced yesterday the launch of the first of its kind Digital Marketing 2.0 platform. The launch is scheduled for July 1, 2019. A link to register for the beta will be provided by the Webhits.io team just before the official launch date.

Currently, you can buy the WEB token on 20+ cryptocurrency exchanges, the full list of exchanges is available here.

What is Webhits.io?

Webhits.io is an interest-based p2p web and social media service exchange platform. The platform’s mission is to provide tangible results, increase advertiser Return on Investment (ROI), and significantly lower the costs for website and social media engagement services globally.

A distinctive functionality trait of the platform is the innovative Social Mining feature that will fundamentally transform the relationship between advertising and cryptocurrency.

What is the WEB toke and what is used for?

Webcoin(WEB) is a utility ERC20 token based on the Ethereum blockchain. The WEB token serves as a unified currency for buying and selling services within the Webhits.io platform.

How an advertiser can increase ROI results?

Unlike any other existing and relatively overpriced social media platforms, Webhits.io offers 10 times cheaper advertising services. Much like Facebook, Twitter, Medium and Pinterest the Webhits.io is also interest-based. This allows sole proprietors, businesses and global brands to more effectively advertise their offers to highly targeted countries of interest. Connecting with and capitalizing on interest-based audience will result in an increased ROI for advertisers.

What is social mining?

Unlike Bitcoin, Webcoin social mining requires almost no GPU and CPU. Webhits.io suggests much simpler ways to earn Webcoins within the platform. Social miners are individuals who offer social media exposure for a fee. A miner’s duty is to provide a certain amount of exposure in the form of likes, shares and follows for a company. The miner would be motivated to deliver the service because a rewarding portion of Webcoin revenue will amount to his service fee.

How does it all work?

  1. The advertiser buys 1 Webcoin from a cryptocurrency exchange or the Webhits.io platform.
  2. The advertiser spends 1 Webcoin within the Webhits.io platform and sends an order for a predefined amount of social media exposure (e.g. 200 social shares, likes).
  3. The Webhits.io platform receives 1 Webcoin and sends an order to miners for a pre-negotiated amount of social media exposure.
  4. The miner delivers the service successfully.
  5. The Webhits.io platform confirms the completion of the task, and pays the L amount of 1 Webcoin to the miner. The Webhits.io platform retains the remaining of 1-L portion of 1 Webcoin.

By retaining a small proportion of Webcoin on every operational cycle, the remaining public supply of the coin will slowly decrease over time, leaving the team with disposable Webcoin assets at hand we would like to refer to as temporary operational “inventory”. The goal here is to create scarcity on the cryptocurrency exchanges which will increase the demand for Webcoin and ultimately its market price. The Webhits.io platform will generate income by offering this Webcoin “inventory” to advertisers, or by directly selling it on exchanges, thus maintaining the long-run public supply of Webcoin sustainable.

Inverse transactions in the blockchain with EthereumCard

In the universe of cryptocurrencies, we are accustomed to an essential characteristic, irreversible payments. For a high percentage of adopters of crypto coins and tokens, this is essential and indispensable; however, it is a huge entry barrier for users who are not accustomed to dealing with this type of transaction. The transactions presented by EthereumCard open the door to a new way of using the blockchain. With pros and cons that we will comment next.

Recently, an extensive exchange of cryptocurrencies such as Binance suffered a security failure; the displeasure generated by the theft of thousands of Bitcoins was massive, affecting multiple users of the platform and other ecosystems that maintain interconnection with the exchange in question. At the time of Binance’s final report, there were approximately 7000 bitcoins in the hands of criminals. As a consequence of the incident, the irreversible transfers or transactions in the block chains came back to the fore.

Inverse transactions offer an alternative path that could combat these unfortunate events in favor of providing alternatives to the already usual irreversible transactions. Also, it facilitates the integration of new adopters that come from systems such as Paypal or others; in which transactions can be reverted in a wide range of cases.

Solutions proposed by EthereumCard to accelerate the adoption of p2p payments

In the last four years, the pace of growth of the sector has been put to the test. With a significant correction, we have seen the market decrease the number of successful launches and seek new solutions to new bottlenecks.

The number of startups that reach targets remains significant, and the next step could be to provide a user-friendly ecosystem for untrained users. EthereumCard combines a variety of features in its project to provide a fast and straightforward experience. With the still abrupt volatility of a growing market, simplicity and speed are required when trading.

Outstanding features of the EthereumCard platform ecosystem

On the other hand, better and more strict compliance with regulations and standards could provide an adoption boost; increasing daily transactions on a global scale between peers and without third parties. Let’s look at some of the details that could boost the global adoption of cryptocurrencies and tokens.

The characteristics of the ecosystem around the ETHCD token are based on several utilities, so we’re talking about a useful token. The following are the details highlighted by its founding team for the description of the ecosystem devised.

Ease of use, without borders and with guarantee deposits.

These first three features are the flag of EthereumCard. It will provide ease to buy worldwide and exchange worldwide, without borders. Also, it offers security deposit services for the correct health of the ecosystem.

Compatibility with crypto space security standards.

EthereumCard will offer wallets 100% compatible with the base standard of cryptographic wallets. This includes self-management of private keys by the user. One of the barriers to overcome to improve the adoption of blockchain technology is to facilitate the processes. Educating and training the profile of the user not familiar with security self-management is part of this process.

Integrated Escrow Services.

Escrow services for exchanges between two parties are no longer a globally centralized matter. Business between the two parties is facilitated by this service that manages the processes of operations between unknown parties securely and reliably.

Inverse Transactions on the platform.

The native ETHCD token platform will incorporate the reverse transaction function that allows the two wallets to send a reversal confirmation in the blockchain for authorization. This facilitates functions common to the traditional ecosystem in the blockchain universe.

How to reverse transactions work on the platform

The characteristic that most caught our attention works peculiarly. It is a type of transaction that generates a replica of the original transaction; however, the amounts are crossed about the first transaction in time. Simplifying it, the balance originally received becomes the sent balance. Meanwhile, the balance originally sent becomes received. This does not eliminate the first transaction, which remains on record. So, both in the chain of blocks and in the wallets resulting from the event, you will be able to observe the history of events. And the balances are readjusted.

Inverse (or revocation) transactions are automatically posted to the same account for the same amount. This makes it possible to reverse the event with a reverse transaction. This feature also prevents fraudulent attempts to generate random reverse transactions by malicious actors in the network. Thus, if one of the two parties requests that the reverse transaction be processed, the other party must confirm it so that it can be carried out.

This brings us to the first mentions, on security in centralized exchanges and adoption. Also, it is a matter of third-party wallets and other services that have suffered the scourge of irreversibly stolen funds. The proposal is exciting, and the team states that it will host this type of reverse transaction in its system. We could see in the future some unusual cases in which the stolen funds are entirely located, and the attacker decides to agree to return them.

“Ethereum Card will enable reverse transaction feature for multidimensional contract on our Mainnet on the blockchain technology.”

EthereumCard web.

Without a doubt, a new scenario that opens doors to adoption and hitherto unpublished situations. These new solutions present new paradigms in terms of usability, security, and management. EthereumCard has several social profiles and official links to follow its activity, news and soon the launch of its token.

Do not hesitate to stay informed and review the technical documentation of the project to go into more detail. We share some links related to the project below.

How to rate and review apps on the app stores?

App Store Optimization or popularly known as ASO, have created quite a stir today. App Store Optimization is mainly the process of improving the rank and the chances of discoverability of any application in the app store. The method is quite simple; the higher the app rank in the store’s search result, the more it will be visible to the users.

App Store Optimization involves the regular adjustments and updating the app pages on the stores in order to make sure that its ranking is as high as possible, and people are able to view them more often.

Importance of App Store Optimization

Every app stores have about more than 2 million applications, and getting them by the correct user among the huge competition is one of the biggest problems. A basic app store search helps about 67% of the application downloads, which makes the searching for the application in the stores the normal method of downloading any new apps.

Improper optimization of the app store page will not show you the relevant searches which can result in the closing of hundreds and thousands of download due to this. Investing a little time in updating the app store will help you in receiving the benefits in the long run.

Methods of rating and reviewing the app on the app store

Just like the Search Engine Optimization or SEO is meant for the webpage. Similarly, the App Store Optimization or ASO is meant for improving and updating the searchability and visibility of the application in the app store. Today the mobile app store has every kind of applications to meet your daily needs and requirements be it for entertainment, scheduling, traveling, and almost for every purpose.

With the increase in applications available for download, the probability of finding any application gradually decreases. It is important for an app developer to know the basic dos and don’ts of app visibility, and here is the place where the functionality of App Store Optimization becomes active.

The App Store Optimization targets to develop the applications conversion rate. It is another way of depicting that you want more people to download the application after viewing the list. The main component of developing the App Store Optimization is the ratings and reviews of the user.

The concept of user ratings and reviews has changed so far, depending on how you shop, learn, and book travel and everything else. The AppRadar helps in finding out that about 59% of people check ratings and reviews before they go for downloading it. Both in iTunes and Google Play Store first comes the information which is basically the name of the application, the icon, and the ratings. The rating of the application is the primary things which a user will check before deciding whether to download the app or not. Designing a perfect app store page will help in getting featured in the app stores.

The reviews are not just for those who are downloading the application. The most important benefit of ratings and reviews are it helps both the user and the developer of the application. Every new user gets an idea of the application, its use, layout, and other pros on reading the reviews and ratings. For the app developers, review and ratings act as an excellent tool for deciding whether the app is user-friendly or not, searching and fixing the bugs.

There are various ways of reviewing and the rating the applications in the play store:

Rephrase:

One of the best ways to upgrade the review numbers is by rephrasing your request. Instead of begging for ratings and review, you can simply ask whether the user is enjoying the application. In case you want a positive response, you can directly ask for a review on the spot, or you can redirect the page from their app as well.

If in case the user has any negative response, you can redirect them to the feedback or quick contact form. In this way, the users who are not happy with the performance of the application will be free to address their issues directly to you rather than commenting on the review page directly. Additionally, it will show that you, as a developer, are eager to know about the issues which the users will definitely appreciate.

Easy Access:

The customers are an important part, even on digital platforms. Every user must have easy access to contact you in case they face any problem. One of the best solutions for easy-to-access is an inbuilt customer support button or even a drop-down menu link. From this link, the page can redirect to the feedback form, email, and other ways of contacting the customers where they can report the problem of bugs and even ask questions as per their needs.

Depending upon the will of the customer, they can easily get their problem fixed without running to the review boards to take out their anger on issues with the application they are using.

Quick Response:

The most powerful indication that you want your customers to be satisfied with the applications they are using is Dialog. The best way is to keep track of the reviews and directly give an answer to the questions. A positive review also gets benefitted from just a simple thanksgiving. If you do not have too much time to focus on organic reviews, then you can also buy app reviews for your android app from active communities. Your app reviews is one of the most important ranking factor when it comes to App Store Optimization.

If you display that you actively take part with your current as well as potential users’ not just increases the amount of integrity, but it also assures the customers from within that their issues soon will be resolved. Many times, you will definitely receive some negative comments, always try to reply back to them too. Mention that you are sorry about facing issues and negative experience. Also, do ask them to contact you and get their problem solved immediately. If an unhappy customer still doesn’t respond, then the review readers will definitely look out to your efforts and will try to solve the issues.

Hence following this process, diligently will help in proper rating and reviewing the applications in any app store.

The VPN Has the Answer to All Your Security Woes

Believe it or not, in the US alone, people are more worried about their online data security than physical security.

Cyber threats are becoming a major concern in not only the US but other regions as well. Now and then, we hear about a group of hackers comprising any celebrity’s account or a fortune500 company’s database.

Moreover, we also keep hearing about moderate to severe data breaches. In fact, according to a study, over 1.7 billion records were leaked during January 2019.

Data security aside, people are also concerned about their online privacy. After all, more and more countries are now establishing internet laws that allow them to monitor their users’ data and even retain it for a set period.

However, the virtual realm isn’t all that frightening. After all, we now have tools that are built to help us fight off privacy breaches or the consequences of cyber attacks.

One of the best tools that we are going to talk about here is a virtual private network (VPN).

Top Cyberattacks That Wreaked Havoc over the Past Few Years

Some users are quite relaxed when it comes to their data security. To convince such users that cyber threats are real, let’s first check out some biggest data breaches in the history of the internet.

  • During early 2011, a group of cybercriminals attacks Sony’s PlayStation network. The breach ended up with the data leak of around 77 million users.

Unfortunately, in 2014, one of the subsidiaries of Sony network was compromised via a computer worm known as, The Guardians of Peace. The breach resulted in the leak of many film scripts, confidential emails, and employees’ data.

  • Uber, the famous multinational transportation company, has also fallen victim to a cyber attack in late 2016. Uber database was breached by two hackers who were able to compromise the data of 57 million users.

The data breach was one of the key factors behind the drop in the valuation of the company.

  • The Equifax data breach is another one of the biggest breaches in the history that happened in 2017. Because of the breach, around 143 million consumers’ data was compromised, including address, date of birth, social security number, etc.
  • Perhaps, one of the biggest breaches that left a prominent mark was Yahoo data breach. Although the cyber attack was transpired in 2013, it was revealed in 2016. The cyber attack resulted in the data breach of around 3 billion users’ accounts.

What Makes VPNs a Perfect Tool For Security?

VPNs ensure the security and privacy of everything that you communicate on the Internet, including your text messages, emails, web searches, etc.

The tool creates a private channel or tunnel on the internet. Therefore, every data packet that travels back and forth between your device and the internet is encapsulated and encrypted by the VPN. So, even if the packets are breached or intercepted, they cannot be deciphered.

As a result, you get to ensure the security of your data regardless of the public or private network you are connected to.

VPN services like PureVPN use military-grade encryption and advanced data authentication mode to ensure maximum protection of your data. Moreover, the tool usually comes with added features that reinforce the anonymity and security of everything you do online.

For instance, the IKS features to ensure that the VPN doesn’t end up leaking the real IP in the event of a disconnection.

Similarly, other features like IP leak protection and DNS leak protection ensures that the IP or data isn’t leaking behind your back.

The anonymity offered by VPN services can further help you in different ways. Suppose you are in a country where your favorite online streaming channel or VoIP service isn’t available. You can set up the VPN, spoof your IP, and instantly access that service or application easily. In addition to that, PureVPN also offers you best Kodi VPN experience

With VPNs, you can also find cheaper deals online, get your hands on games that are released earlier in other countries, and much more.
