The Connection Between Online Gambling, Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies

From what we have already seen for some time, it looks like crypto coins and blockchain technology can improve a number of aspects of our daily lives but it seems like the one of the best areas where it can be used is online gambling.

What is a blockchain?

For those that do not know, a blockchain is a list of records that is made to be secure through cryptography and some of the best uses of this technology lie in the gambling sphere. When applied to online gaming, it greatly increases the speed of transactions, including those of withdrawals, as some of you may know that for an online transaction to be finalized it may take between 3 and 5 business days.

Blockchain perks

It is well known that in order for you to be able to play in an online gambling event you will need a traditional bank account in order to get your bets and your withdrawals, if you are lucky. However, when one uses a blockchain then he or she is going to be able to play in such an event just by having a computer and an internet connection, making the process easier.

How to adopt this process

So far the number of platform that use this blockchain system are few and far in between but it looks like more and more are working to incorporate it onto their online gambling platform which means that there is hope for the future. Were we to name a couple of platform that already have this feature, we could gladly say that Lottery.com and Greentube have both made this step. However, the problem with security levels still stands since the need to stop young gamblers and problem gamblers from playing still stand. That will remain to be fixed in the near future.

Play as Kratos, “God of War” with this GTA 5 mod

On April 20 we will have a chance to see Kratos in God of War. However, if you miss him already, you will be able to see him in Grand Theft Auto 5, thanks to a mod. This means that you can you use his godly powers in San Andreas.

The mod brings Kratos, as well as his abilities and weapons. You will be able to use the Blades of Chaos on the streets, and you will even be able to shoot fire and fly, which are all impressive advantages.

The Kratos mod

The mod is named Kratos – God of War III, and the developer behind it is Lê Tuấn Khải. Judging by the name of the mod it is easy to understand that the Kratos that is available in GTA 5 is the one from the third game. This means that you won’t see Kratos with a beard, the way he looks at the moment. Kratos was also modded to appear in other games, such as Metal Gear Solid 5, Fallout 4 and Skyrim.

This is not the first time Lê Tuấn Khải manages to bring some amazing mods to GTA 5. Previously, he added Rocket Raccoon from Guardians of the Galaxy, Killmonger and Black Panther, as well as Leona from Sudden Attack 2.

Mods are accepted

If you are worried that the developers behind Grand Theft Auto might have something against mods, you should know that modding is safe. Basically, modders were allowed to continue and there will be no legal consequences as long as the mods are single-player, non-commercial and respect the third-party IP rights.

Rockstar has even encouraged developers to continue to create: “Rockstar Games believes in reasonable fan creativity, and, in particular, wants creators to showcase their passion for our games.” Nonetheless, mods are still not accepted for multiplayer games and online services, and it is not hard to understand why.

A New 18:9 LG Q7 Phone is Expected To Be As Powerful As Possible

The United States Federal Communications Commission certified an LG smartphone earlier this week. The device has the model number LM-Q710TS, which led us to believe that this is the upcoming Q7 smartphone. This new information also came with some additional details which helped us get a better idea about the handset.

The display ratio

One of the first things that we learnt about the display panel is the fact that it will be an elongated one. The panel will have an aspect ratio of 18:9. This detail was revealed by the screenshot that was released. But we were able to discover other things as well.

System navigation buttons

One important thing about the screenshot is that we can see system navigation buttons that are placed on-screen. This means that there won’t be physical buttons for these, so we will won’t see a Home key on the upcoming phone, and there should not be any capacitive buttons either. This also means that the smartphone should be a slim one.

The Federal Communications Commission review

The fact that this device was submitted for review is quite important. It is very likely that there will be a stateside launch for this device. In some cases, the federal certification does not mean that the handset is going to be released in the United States and it might mean that the manufacturers are only trying to test them in the country.

Upcoming LG smartphone

The next LG Android flagship is supposed to be released on May 2, and this date was already confirmed by the company. LG is also supposed to be working on the LG V40 device. This handset should receive the code name “Storm” and we should see it at the end of the summer.

Cardano [ADA] Update – New UI and Gorgeous Progress

With the number of articles going around looking more closely at the evolution process of different coins on the market during this past week, it looks like Cardano has also shown a number of changes and we are going to look more closely at them.

Cardano’s progress

First of all, the Cardano team has manage to fix a lot of things that needed improvement in these past couple of days, such as the fact that they now have a stronger migration plan that is going to be used for their wallet backend. This should come as no surprise since what they wanted to focus on was trying to upgrade the speed that they had when it came to the verification of blockchains and their application.

The team also took some time to fix the documentation and the semantics parts, which did have a number of small issues. Most people would think of spelling mistakes when it comes to semantics but, in reality, the company worked on clearing up vague terms such as ‘spending Password’, among others. If we are talking about the updates that were done to the documentation, we would like to talk about the fact that the Cardano team worked very hard on updating the history of the transaction and the filters that were used.

Most importantly, they worked on improving and restoring the asynchronous wallets, which will have a number of changes when it comes to their user interface, such as looking at the wallet on your sidebar.

These changes follow a rapid rise for Cardano this week, coming up to a gain of 36 percent, that some analysts attribute to the fact that Cardano [ADA] is now available on CoinSwitch, making it easier to have access to and be used on a regular basis by others.

Bithumb Cryptocurrencies Exchange Plans On Launching Its Own ICO And Crypto Coin

South Korea’s renowned exchange house, the Bithumb cryptocurrencies exchange, is planning to launch an ICO and to issue its own crypto coin.

According to local reports, Bithumb initial currency offer, or ICO, would take place in Singapore in view of the fact that this fund-raising scheme for blockchain projects is banned in South Korea. So far, Bithumb has not confirmed the information, but it is given as true by TokenPost, which means that meetings have been held with investors and institutions.

“We know that the BitHumb crypto coin is routed through a local subsidiary acquired, at its turn, by a subsidiary of Bithumb. Details such as the date of issue and the amounts of cryptocurrencies have not yet been confirmed,” a spokesman for the exchange office was quoted as saying.

Bithumb follows the strategies already implemented by Huobi and Binance

Thus, Bithumb follows in the footsteps of the Huobi exchange house, which recently announced its plans to issue 500 million tokens based on blockchain technology, though not through an ICO, but would only be allowed to obtain it from those already registered in the exchange, this perhaps because of China’s strong cryptocurrencies regulations in that regard.

Another example is the Binance exchange house, which already has its own cryptocurrency, the Binance Coin (BNB), which allows its users to trade with other cryptocurrencies at low operating costs, in addition to the exchange house burning some chips to increase their shortage and encourage the increase in their value.

South Korea banned the ICOs during the past year, due to some cases scams and investment frauds that were hidden under this fund-raising scheme, something that certainly does not please the authorities. This has led some businessmen and academics to pronounce themselves in favor of fewer prohibitions and more support for blockchain.

However, Bithumb, the renowned South Korean cryptocurrencies exchange, will launch its own crypto coin and will hold an ICO in Singapore, to evade the cryptocurrencies regulations from South Korea.
