lightning payment over ham radio in what appears to be a first-of-its-kind transaction two developers working in separate countries have successfully sent a bitcoin lightning payment over radio waves organized over twitter this past weekend the transaction was sent by Rodolfo Novak co-founder of Bitcoin hardware startup coin kite 2 developer and bloomberg columnist Alain knew the completed payment effectively moved real Bitcoin from Toronto Canada to San Francisco California while radio technology is most commonly used for broadcasting music or talk radio it's actually capable of much more than that as the two developers showcased radio can also be used to boost the resilience of the Bitcoin network bitcoin is making ham radio cool again who tweeted after sending the transaction to novak referencing ham radio the use of radio by hobbyists who fiddle with radio technology image via rodolfo novak on twitter but sending bitcoin over radio isn't just fun some researchers argue it actually has a necessary use case in fact the idea itself is the brainchild of Nick Szabo inventor of the smart contract who and Sabo presented the idea in 2017 at the scaling Bitcoin conference in San Francisco our viewing at the time that it could help Bitcoin build resistance to partition attacks researchers argue could potentially be used to attack the network the idea is that while the internet can potentially be censored it's not the only form of technology that can be used to send data from one part of the world to another in case China decides to censor Bitcoin via the Great Firewall or places like North Korea where there is no internet at all as you put it in an email to coin desk technology infrastructure startup block stream licensed satellites that beam Bitcoin to users around the world for similar reasons Dyl there are limits to the concept it was a fun demo but obviously unrealistic because we coordinated everything online before sending the radio signals who acknowledged

soon areum's long awaited Constantinople upgrade has concluded will it affect earth future if areum's Constantinople hard fork which has suffered frequent setbacks has finally been completed the upgrade was executed at 7:52 p.m.
On February the 28th that block seven million two hundred and eighty thousand the fork proceeded uneventful II and no technical issues or divisions within the mining community have been reported although the phrase hard fork might evoke a blockchains split such as the event that produced ethereum classic in 2016 most hard Forks do not actually have that outcome since Constantinople z' features were largely uncontested the update went smoothly as – activated the new ethereum software and its features and unison low remaining rewards the main feature that constantinople introduces as a reduction of block rewards if area miners will now receive a payout of 2f for each block that they mine previously the Ward was 3f per block although this is something of a sacrifice for miners this course of action is relatively conservative and a gained majority support from devs last August if areum's reduced block rewards are deliberately intended to discourage mining as doing so will reduce the amount of new F that the mining community generates this will in turn reduce inflation and keep the value of existing at fairly high lower mining incentives will also help prepare for proof of stake consensus ARCA Casper which will be introduced in ethereum 2.0 although lowering rewards will make mining less profitable this upgrade does not disincentivize miners as much as it could have constantinople actually delays a difficulty bomb that would have made mining much more system intensive and harder to profit from that bomb has now been delayed for 12 months allowing many miners to continue inching profits other features although constantinople x' biggest change concerns mining rewards there are a few other features that are built into the upgrade constantinople also reduces the cost of using the ethereum virtual machine introduced as a method for interacting with the air to be created addresses and reduces gas costs for particulate transactions additionally a second ethereum upgrade called saint-petersburg has been carried out alongside constantinople this update removed a feature that was discovered to contain a rien Trancy bug in january in other words the main feature of saint-petersburg is actually the absence of a problem market effects major upgrades can cause uncertainty among investors and some commentators believe that this upgrade could cause a therians market price to become more volatile Sebastian's Sinclair at coin toss expects that based on previous Forks Constantinople could influence investment activity for weeks to come overall it took a total of 34 days for ethers price to break above the site waste channel after the previous fork occurred so if history repeats itself if the prices may be destined for a multi week sideways after the Constantinople upgrade takes place other analysts are predicting a weakening of F's value or an outright price crash however michael mauro of genesis global trading has suggested that Constantinople's reduced inflation rate could prevent widespread sell offs among investors in any case no major changes have been observed in ethereum market value so far settling down constantinople has finally succeeded despite the fact that it has faced numerous delays first in october a denial of service attack vector was discovered immediately followed by a test at issue then in january the aforementioned real drazi bug was found these issues collectively pushed constantinople back for several months those delays might make constantinople seem to be more of a feat than it actually is apart from a possible reaction from crypto traders if areum's trials and tribulations seem to be settling down and the changes to the mining scheme may soon prove they worth the famous blockchain

Bitcoin BTC transaction volume continues surging clearly at the moment price action is not at all linked to transaction volume as Bitcoin is presently trading down 2% at its current price of 3,770

Kryptos bulls a reason to be optimistic what I've been watching lately are the number of transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain and the total volumes across crypto exchanges both of which are holding at their highest levels in more than a year even though we're still officially in a bear market there is plenty of cause for optimism he explained earlier today Greenspan doubled down on his comments regarding the importance of transaction volume explaining in an email that Bitcoin is now processing an average of 4.05 transactions per second which is up significantly from where that number was this time last year volumes have subsided somewhat from the late February excitement and volatility remains subdued transactions on the world's favorite blockchain however have seen yet another

comments below five useful ways blockchain technology can improve your business right now if you are a business owner you've likely had a quarter or two where you did a ton of works served a million clients and ended up with nothing more than a few pennies in your bank account don't fret though I hear this is normal there's a popular saying that you need to spend money to make money and that may be true but if you are like me I'm sure you'd wondered if success could be a bit more affordable than it currently is most businesses today lose money due to procedural delays human error and fees paid to middlemen can you imagine what your bank account would look like if you could speed your business up eliminate silly mistakes and kick those infernal middlemen to the curb if those ideas sounds likely a wishful thinking you'll be surprised to know that they are actually quite possible what the heck am I talking about making your business faster more efficient and more cost effective with blockchain technology but what is blockchain blockchain is a type of technology that records transactions to a digital ledger where they cannot be changed or altered these records or blocks of information are linked using cryptography the info on a blockchain is easily verifiable and open to the public block chains are also decentralized so the data are shared with all the computers on the network PS if you've ever wondered why decentralization is so important these days just take a look at this a number of applications are built on the blockchain blockchain applications provide a wide variety of solutions you need to improve your business how can you use blockchain technology to increase your learnings consider the five ways outlined below one use smart contracts the smart contract is a self-executing contract that has the terms of all parties written directly in to the code the codons terms of the contract exists on a decentralized blockchain network smart contracts ensure all parties in the agreement do what they are supposed to these self automated programs run without downtime and without the interference of external parties so how does a smart contract help you get more money Wow it ensures you get paid once you deliver on your end of the deal plus if the other party back Sultana short notice your goods / services are returned to you this means you never have to use

tweaked your CV to make it a little more impressive to potential employers if you've done it or consider doing it before you can be sure your potential employees may think about doing the same to you job candidates often use Photoshop to forge impressive documents or they may claim to be the former captain of their high school basketball team even if they don't have a single athletic bone in their body the main reason they do this is they know you likely won't have the time or resources to double-check their qualifications but just imagine having access to easily verifiable records of a potential employee right at your fingertips academic records extracurricular activities past employment records and references are all stored for you on a nun in modifying or digital ledger if you encounter an impressive candidate you can quickly confirm the authenticity of his or her qualifications and hire the individual on the spot having trust were the data that is available reduces the length of the hiring process and helps you hire the right people to improve your business 3 make faster cheaper payments blockchain had it started in Bitcoin so it shouldn't be a surprise that Bitcoin
