The New iPad Pro will Feature Bezels but There’s no Sign of a Notch

There has been some recent information which surfaced about the upcoming iPad Pro. Apparently, it will feature bezel of ultra-thin quality which is similar to the ones present on the iPhone X. However, the notch won’t be present, as far as we know. There has been an iOS 12 icon recently on the news which informs us about how the tablet’s design will look like.

Expect it to come with thinner border lines that will also be more uniform and the front camera will be present at the top of the tablet. The presence of this icon in the news reminds us of a leak concerning the iPhone X design which appeared to be similar in terms of looks. While we can’t consider this icon a leak per-se, it still is to be trusted.

There are also some voices that speak about how Apple will most likely opt for a bezel-free design for the iPad Pro, so you can expect anything. As opposed to how the iPhone X icon looked like, the one which shows the iPad Pro offers a clear indication about how Apple chose to not include a notch in its design.

Some people out there consider that Apple will also opt for including a FaceID feature which will allow you to authenticate and use the tablet. The missing of the notch could be blamed on the less granular detail present on the tablet which might not leave enough room. Another possibility would be the fact that the bezels featured on the tablet aren’t as thin as the ones present on the iPhone X.

And finally, some heartbreak. You shouldn’t expect this tablet to feature a 3.5mm headphone jack because it is probably won’t be there.

Clash of Clans Tips to Make you Enjoy the Game Even More

We’ll share with you some tips and tricks for this very popular game, Clash of Clans, which seems to gather more and more fans with each passing day.

Safeguarding or attacking – find a balance between them

Most players are concentrating on both building a defense and starting a fight against others. If you want to make defense your main focus, then you should first upgrade your town hall and then the walls along with the defensive structures. Keep in mind that the main towers that you should pay attention to are the mortar and air defense. This means that they must stay somewhere near the middle and they need a lot of protection. So if you’re playing in a defensive way, don’t hurry up to upgrade your town hall, as you will earn less when attacking lower-level players.

In case you prefer to attack other players rather than remaining in defense, you should still follow the same steps that we just mentioned. So you must first build up your town hall and then focus on the elixir production.

Be aware of the way the land must be structured

As you can probably imagine, it’s crucial to have a great amount of walls between the resources that you have and the outside. To be sure that you will not encounter any problems, you must leave no gaps in your perimeter and all structures have to be tied together.

Choose your targets wisely

You must consider the Town Hall level of your opponents before attacking them, since a lower level than the one you have means that you will not gain so many resources after the attack is over.

Patience is important and so is saving your gems

You need to be very cautious when spending your valuable gems, therefore you should avoid using them only to speed up production. Try to keep them for something more meaningful that you can actually retain and use later in the game. We also recommend you to clear natural obstacles and complete achievements in order to accumulate a big amount of gems. Overall, remember that it’s a bad idea to buy resources entirely with gems, so instead you should concentrate on expanding your production buildings.

Consider raiding together with buddies

Once you gain more experience through the game and are ready to get into organized clan play, you can already think about playing together with other players, which will help you socialize and bring you some pretty good resources too.

Bitcoin (BTC) Set For Another Price Breakout, According To “Wall Street’s Crypto King”

For the third consecutive day, Bitcoin (BTC) is still trading under the $8,000 level it reached in late-July 2018. A series of events that commenced with the SEC’s denial of Winklevoss twins’ Bitcoin ETF has resulted in a significant drop in the BTC value against the US Dollar. But a pair of market analysts thinks that a further breakout of its price is imminent.

Bitcoin (BTC) must have higher highs and lows, says “Wall Street’s Crypto King”

Bart Smith, Susquehanna’s manager of digital assets, also known as “Wall Street’s Crypto King,” stated to CNBC that Bitcoin (BTC) requires higher highs and lows. Smith said $6,800 is most likely the lowest value of BTC and that price has to be higher to provide a greater upward rebound for the leading cryptocurrency.

Many traders see that the $6,800 level is something they need to break. We have lower and lower ups and downs, and we have to get out of it. You are looking forward to a new bitcoin ETF, and there is a lot of enthusiasm. The price is as high as $8,400. The ETF is rejected and falls back. We need to see higher and lower ups and downs, so keep moving forward and stay at $7,500 and bounce higher.

Bart Smith, Susquehanna

He also discussed the next phase in the development of the Bitcoin (BTC) market. Susquehanna’s head added that the major brands must step into the market to encourage even more institutional investors to put capital into BTC futures.

Substantial achievements during Q4 2018 might lead to a Bitcoin (BTC) surge

For BKCM LLC’s Brian Kelly, the Q4 2018 might be an exhilarating occasion for the leading cryptocurrency, the Bitcoin (BTC). The advent of solid custody tools for cryptocurrency is most likely only four to six months apart, Kelly believes.

We are in an environment where there is a lot of regulation, and this is the best chance to get something new. The iron is hot, it’s time to strike. You have to remember, Bitcoin (BTC) can move five percent any day. While it may seem crazy to the legacy market, in the Bitcoin world, this is just a normal correction.

Brian Kelly, BKCM LLC

At the moment of this writing, Bitcoin (BTC) trades at $7,544, dropping about 1% in the last 24 hours.

SBI Holdings Acquired 12% Of Clear Markets In A Move To Develop A Cryptocurrencies Derivatives Platform

The Japanese financial institution SBI Holdings will extend its crypto portfolio with cryptocurrencies derivatives after purchasing a 12% stake in Clear Markets, said SBI’s financial report released on July 31st. SBI intends to acquire up to 20 percent more in the near future.

Clear Markets is a US-based provider and developer of electronic trading platforms offering trading services for OTC derivatives in the US, UK, and Japan.

SBI’s new investment in Clear Markets is one part of its commitment to establish a trading platform for cryptocurrency derivatives addressed to institutional investors. The platform is intended to allow financial institutions to trade cryptos more efficiently.

Clear Markets will facilitate hedging for cryptocurrency swaps that are “necessary for dealing with cryptocurrencies and financial instruments that use cryptocurrencies.” In the review, the SBI group stated that the intensified use of cryptocurrencies and their derivatives would boost liquidity.

Nikkei Asian predicts that the investment will cost SBI Holdings approximately $9 million.

SBI Holding to develop a cryptocurrencies derivatives platform with Clear Markets

Clear Markets intends to implement a cryptocurrency trading service as it already has a US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and SEF (Swap Execution Facility) license and is involved in derivatives brokerage market across the UK and other 32 European countries. The corporation is an affiliate of QUICK Corp. a member of the Japanese Nikkei Inc.

In 2017, SBI Holdings spent money on over 20 crypto-related projects and, on July 17th, it formally released the official version of the VCTRADE cryptocurrency exchange. Now, SBI Holdings plans on releasing a cryptocurrencies derivatives platform with Clear Markets.

Japan is among the world’ s top countries in the introduction of cryptocurrencies and crypto investments. “Up to 50 percent of the cash trade in cryptocurrency” has so far occurred in Japan, said Mark Brickell, CEO of Clear Markets.

During the past week, the Japan Virtual Currency Exchange Association (JVCEA) declared that it would demand that its cryptocurrency exchange affiliates restrict the trading operations of some customers in order to avoid high capital losses for those investors with relatively small financial holdings.

PowerGhost Is An Innovative Crypto Mining Malware, Mostly Targeting Corporate Networks

Unauthorized crypto mining malware recently discovered by Kaspersky Labs is affecting corporate networks worldwide. The computer security firm said that so far the most affected countries by this virus are India, Brazil, Colombia, and Turkey. The cryptojacking malware was named PowerGhost because of the difficulty of detecting it, an advantageous feature for unauthorized mining malware.

The firm’s experts described that, once it is sneaked onto the victim’s device, it accentuates its privileges through vulnerabilities in the operating system and begins to mine cryptocurrencies in the background.

Among the countries with the highest incidence of this virus attack are Brazil and India, with 200 to 290 users affected, followed by Colombia and Turkey, where between 110 and 200 users were infected, according to SecureList data.

Like any other crypto mining malware, PowerGhost uses processing power from infected devices and uses it to decipher the puzzle that validates a block of transactions with cryptos. This process, known as cryptojacking, requires a large number of computational resources and can cause overheating and lag the affected devices.

PowerGhost crypto mining malware is mostly focusing on corporate networks

In this particular case, the virus seems to be focused on corporate networks, so it also attacks server performance and accelerates wear and tear, generating replacement costs.

Kaspersky Labs warns that, compared to most malware of this type, PowerGhost is more difficult to detect because of it doesn’t need any files to work. That means it does not download malicious files to the devices it infects, making it easier to operate without being noticed.

Moreover, experts identified a version of this crypto mining malware that contains a tool for DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks which can paralyze networks and servers.

A technical analysis of this malware published by Secure List shows that cybercriminals are using increasingly sophisticated techniques to achieve their goals. They believe that the devs of PowerGhost went further by using “file-less” techniques to deploy the cryptojacking software on their victims’ systems.

It seems that the growing popularity and the increasing prices of cryptocurrencies have made cybercriminals to innovate new malicious crypto mining software. As the data shows, the cryptojacking malware programs are gradually replacing the ransomware Trojans.
