Activision Teases Call of Duty Fans with New Teasers

We never pegged Activision to be the daring type, willing to incite its fans with teasers that leave them on the edge of their seats in anticipation but it looks like they just might be capable of that. It is no small secret that Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is bound to come out in just a couple of days but it seems like the teasers will never stop. What did Activision do? Read more to find out.

Cryptic tweets wreak havoc

Just a couple of days ago we witnessed a very cryptic tweet being posted which said that there game fans might see a return of the Pick 10 system. Another source said that perks and scoreboards will be taken away but the Treayarch Twitter account felt it necessary to mention that these things will not be taken out of the game.

TO be honest, we do not know why people would cause such a fuss about these small things since the bane of almost any shooter game resides in its perks and scoreboards. On the other hand, we are also aware that if you were a big fan of the game you would jump out at the slightest sign of there being a big change that you were not expecting so we can understand them.

The game is set to unveil this month, on the 17rh of May by Activision and Treyarch, We can expect Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 to also make a very notable appearance at this year’s E3 convention. We still have to wait for a bit until we will get to ply the game as it is set to be released on the 12th of October on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. They may have decided on this date as to anticipate the release date of Red Dead Redemption 2.

Ripple (XRP): Codius, The Ripple’s Smart Contracts Platform, Has Been Revived

Codius, Ripple (XRP) smart contract platform, has now been revived, as some sources say. The platform was halted in 2015 because the cryptocurrencies market was in its infancy, back then, and, at that moment, a standard for transactions involving smart contracts also lacked, resulting in the progressive abandonment of the concept by the Ripple team.

Even though the Codius site is up and running, the platform is in its beta stage, for the moment, thus enhancing the chances for a future implementation of the new Ripple’s technology into Codius. Additionally, the source code was also scanned for dragons, which are the usual errors which are encountered in the software while it is its testing phase.

Ripple (XRP) smart contract platform, Codius, has been revived

In order to keep Codius up and running and to avoid dropping, there must always be at least a single person who is using the platform.

However, the usability of Codius in big. Accordingly, decentralized applications and smart contracts built on Ripple’s rapid and safe technology solutions may also rely on Codius.

On the other hand, the integrated micropayment solutions may be implemented to enable transactions between 2 Codius programmes.

Codius is an open hosting protocol. Makes it easy to load a program, whether you want it to run on one host or thousands. It also has built-in billing….once a program is loaded, anyone can pay to keep it running – the author, the users and even the program itself.

Ripple (XRP) Price

At the moment of this article, Ripple (XRP) is doing well in the cryptocurrencies market as it is trading at $0.85 and registered an appreciation of about 2.20% in the last 24 hours.

In the end, reviving Codius, the Ripple’s smart contracts platform, is a nice idea but implementing Ripple’s new technologies into Codius would be a great idea. If this will happen, and most probably it will indeed happen eventually, Ripple (XRP) price might soar up.

Tron (TRX) Fell Back On #10 In Cryptocurrencies Market As IOTA (MIOTA) Stormed To #9

Between the Testnet and the next release of Mainnet, Tron (TRX) will have numerous events and new plans for the Q2 2018. Aside from the technical aspects and plans, the Tron (TRX) currency has also performed brilliantly during the last couple of weeks. But earlier, Tron (TRX) dropped on the 10th position in cryptocurrencies market, as IOTA (MIOTA) stormed to the 9th position, in just a few hours.

TRX has succeeded in maintaining its clients’ satisfaction at high levels with the ongoing price escalation. From the 12th place at the beginning of last month, TRX has achieved the 9th rank among all the cryptocurrencies in the world, after a sequence of skirmishes with NEO (NEO) and, since then, it shows continuous appreciation in its value against the USD.

Tron (TRX) fell back to the 10th place losing ground before IOTA (MIOTA)

Unfortunately for TRX fans, as I’ve said above, Tron fell on the 10th position. Despite its gains of about 28% it recorded earlier today, TRX dropped by about 26% in the last few hours but still keeps itself on ‘green’ against the USD.

IOTA (MIOTA) stormed to the 9th position, leaving Tron behind which settled on the 10th place in the cryptocurrencies market. Apparently, the announcement that MIOTA will be listed on Cobinhood cryptocurrency exchange helped a lot in coin’s gains of today, as IOTA (MIOTA) managed to soar by 18.4% in the last 24 hours (at the moment of this article) reaching to $2.22.

At the moment of this article, Tron (TRX) is trading at $0.090 scoring only a 1.86% increase compared with its value 24 hours ago.

Apparently, IOTA (MIOTA) managed to secure the 9th place for the moment, at least, with a market cap of about $6,17 billion, with more than $170 million than Tron (TRX) which is closing to a market capitalization of $6 billion and most probably it will be able to hit this level soon.

Bitcoin (BTC): Will BTC Reach $150,000 By 2019? Maybe Lightning Network Will Help

Bitcoin (BTC) is the most popular and valuable cryptocurrency in the market. Needless to say, BTC experienced the most significant growth in the past couple of years. But is Bitcoin (BTC) on its way towards $150,000 by 2019? Some cryptocurrencies market analysts believe that is indeed possible, especially in the perspective of the Lightning Network launch, set for this year.

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Forecasts

John McAfee is one of the most important personalities in the world of cryptocurrencies. He is among those who consider that BTC is undervalued right now and might worth as much as $1 million in the following years.

Jeet Singh, a senior analyst and fund manager, also said that Bitcoin (BTC) is quite likely to be trading at about $50,000 by the end of 2018. He is certain that Bitcoin’s volatility will decline as the cryptocurrencies market becomes more mature.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Jeet Singh stated:

If you look at Apple’s Microsoft when its shares were made public, they were very volatile because the market was not mature. There aren’t many vendors that can accept cryptocurrencies but there’s a lot of adoption on the black market.

One of the renowned Winklevoss twins, who own the Gemini cryptocurrency exchange, respectively, Cameron Winklevoss, commented that the market capitalization of BTC can easily plunge somewhere between $4 and $8 trillion. Moreover, the cryptocurrencies specialist claimed, just a couple of weeks ago, that Bitcoin (BTC) has the force to increase by about 35 times, in the next years.

So if we look at a market cap of $100 billion today, now last week it could have been over $200 billion, so it’s actually a buying opportunity, we think there’s a potential appreciation of 30-40 times (…) So we think that, regardless of the price movements in recent weeks, it is still a very undervalued asset.

The Lightning Network will become operational in 2018

Also noteworthy is the fact that in the course of this year, the Lightning Network is scheduled to become operational.

Since that moment on, Bitcoin (BTC) will cut its transaction fees and processing times to near nil. This may be perhaps some of the most significant milestones in Bitcoin’s history. In case the Lightning Network turns out to be as good as its developers claim to be, the BTC issues with scalability would be solved out, therefore, Bitcoin (BTC) price will soar up considerably.

WhatsApp Beta 2.18.132 Update Download Available with New Changes for Group Chat Admins

A new WhatsApp version is now in the beta channel, and according to the latest reports, this version will come with some changes for the group admins. Until this moment, admins did not have complete control when it came to their groups.

Admins were only able to remove or add members, as well as promote other members to admins. Other things, such as editing the name, icon or description of the group, were available for all the members. This could have some negative effects, and admins were not able to protect them.

WhatsApp beta 2.18.132

The latest version does come with some changes for those who are admins in a group chat. They will be able to see a new option on the group info page, called Group settings. By opening that page they will be able to restrict the access to editing the information of the group. There they can also change the admins of the group.

The admin will get to decide if all participants of the group will be able to edit group info, or if just the admins can do that. With this new option, admins will have more authority in their group. In order to change who the admins are, you will need to tap Edit group admins options.

You can also make another person an admin by going to the participants list. There you have to tap-and-hold each participant that you want to make an admin. You also have the option to select multiple persons at once and then promote them all at the same time.

If you want to try out these new options that are available for admins you can join the beta program or you can find this version on APK Mirror.
