Verge (XVG), NEO and VeChain (VEN) are Fighting Against the Crypto Market

The crypto market peaked at the beginning of the year. That period was an amazing one for all coins and they reached the highest prices. However, after that period, things became tough for the entire market.

However, among all those coins there are three of them that manage to stand out. NEO, Verge (XVG) and VeChain (VEN) are up even in these difficult times.

Verge (XVG)

Verge went up 6.03% in the past 24 hours and it is has reached the $0.068625 price. Experts believe that Verge is planning some big moves and we will hear more about this coin the future. Verge is the 20th largest cryptocurrency at the moment, and it is known for that fact that it is secure and anonymous.

Recently Verge managed to fork successfully, which could explain why the coin became more popular lately. It remains to see what the future holds for us.

NEO

NEO went up 7.52% in the past 24 hours and the current price for it is $51.36. One of the reasons why NEO price rose might be its European tours. There will be meetups and workshops in some of the most important European cities.

The tour will take place between April 14th and April 26th. This could have numerous benefits for NEO, as users will have a chance to learn more about the NEO community.

VeChain (VEN)

The current price for VeChain is $2.66, up with 5.33% in the past 24 hours. The lowest point for VeChain was $2.42, but it appears that the coin is finally on its way to recover itself. Another advantage for VeChain is the fact that it has been recently named one of the top 10 blockchain solution providers in 2018 by APAC CIOoutlook.

How can Xbox One’s Compatibility Issues be Fixed?

One of the main things that gave Xbox One the success that it has right now is the fact that it has the backward compatibility option. Since this came out almost three years ago, it looks like Microsoft is hard at work, making sure that the game’s library is expanding at a steady pace. Moreover, it looks like many of the games will be upgraded to a 4k version after the release of Xbox One X.

There is an update in the works and even if we do not know a lot about it so far here is what we hope that it is going to include.

Bringing back Xbox Live

This is perhaps one of the most requested thing from gamers worldwide. Bringing such a thing from a mere request to a reality is a very difficult process since there are security and compatibility issues between the old Xbox Live and the current version. While bringing back Xbox Live is not completely impossible, it would require a lot of resources and a system able to back it up and run it smoothly. In a nutshell, it is going to take a lot of time to do that.

More games for fans

There could be so much done when it comes to the number of games that are currently available on the Xbox One. For one, there are only 16 games that are original to the first Xbox and available through the backwards compatibility option for Xbox One. Some of the original platform’s most interesting games out there are not available and we would like to see that change in the future.

By deciding to upgrade these games to other versions as well, Xbox could increase its sales while not having to put in a lot of effort in order to reach their goals.

Skype for Business to Include a Voice Call Recording Option

Whether you like to use it or not, you have to admit that Skype is by far one of the best video sharing and voice call options out there. iOS and Microsoft have been coming up with their own options for that but it is always way easier to link up on Skype. It looks like the company has decided to make some improvements in order to make the users’ experience better than it was before.

Recording calls – newest update

This Friday the company decided to make an announcement about their program. They officially said that they are working on providing clean feeds to a new third party software named NewTek NDI. Most people are unfamiliar with this program but it resembles Xsplit, Vmix and even Wirecast. These three pieces of software have also been said to be able to support the feed.

So, in a nutshell, Skype will soon let your record your video calls.

The problems with this

Skype has not managed to shy away from technical difficulties over the years; in fact it has become popular for some of them, such as its video and voice call quality. This is why people have started to wonder how clear the video call would be and what quality it would be recorded at. Moreover, the same question goes for the quality of a voice call. It has been known that Skype does not have a clear system enforced that links video or audio quality with the strength of your internet connection. It all seems to vary and we hope that in the near future they will address that.

Overall, it looks like Skype is finally working on putting out improvements that could be used by people worldwide. For starters, this tool could be a great aid to podcasters and, with a little bit of creativity, there be other uses for it as well.
