Wall Street Veteran Caitlin Long Joins Symbiont; Touts “Better Technology”
In 2015 Bitcoin Magazine covered the launch of the fintech company Symbiont, focused on fostering a symbiotic relationship between traditional financial markets and cryptographic blockchain technology. The company raised $ 1.25 million of seed funding from influential financial market leaders, then in January it closed a $ 7 million funding round. In May, Bitcoin Magazine reported that Symbiont is working with Delaware, the state that incorporates most companies, to explore the use of blockchain technology to make its paperwork cheaper and more efficient.
Now, Symbiont has announced that it has appointed Caitlin Long as President and Chairman of the Board of Directors. Long, a financial heavyweight with 22 years of corporate finance experience including stints at Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse, will be responsible for commercializing Symbiont’s blockchain technology, encompassing business strategy and client relationships.
“Caitlin brings a rare mix of deep Wall Street experience and recognized thought leadership about blockchain technology. She is the embodiment of our name and brand,” said Mark Smith, CEO and co-founder of Symbiont. “Caitlin has a strong philosophical and economic foundation that allowed her to build her career by always putting the needs of her clients first. She has repeatedly proven her ability to help clients see new ways to solve problems and clients rewarded her with top market positions in every one of her businesses. We are thrilled that she’s joining our team.”
Symbiont has developed a platform that allows financial market participants to create programmable “Smart Securities,” self-executing digital contracts stored in a distributed ledger. Symbiont’s platform allows users to issue, manage, locate and trade Smart Securities in a global peer-to-peer financial network.
“Blockchain technology will make capital markets safer, fairer and more efficient,” said Long. “I chose to join Symbiont because we have better technology and are ahead of our peers. Symbiont offers the only smart contracts platform purpose-built for financial services. Investors will actually own the assets issued on Symbiont’s blockchain, which is a huge improvement relative to how securities are owned today.”
“Our priority from here is to broaden the market reach of our tech. It works and is already going into production,” Long told Bitcoin Magazine. “We think the performance numbers we disclosed today will garner a lot of attention from potential consumers, many of whom are kicking the tires on this new technology.”
The performance numbers to which Long is referring are detailed in a blog post, authored by Long, titled “Why I Chose to Join Symbiont.”
One of the two main reasons that motivated Long’s decision to join is that investors will actually own the assets issued on Symbiont’s blockchain which, according to Long, is a huge improvement relative to how securities are owned in today’s market structure. The second reason is that Symbiont’s platform can store all transaction data and documentation in a secure, anonymous manner without sacrificing speed.
“Symbiont’s ledger is currently processing 80,000 transactions per second in a single region and tens of thousands per second globally. Plus, transaction latency is on the order of milliseconds. So Symbiont’s software is not just outperforming all competitors whose comparable statistics we know — it’s outperforming them by multiple orders of magnitude.”
Symbiont was co-founded by members of the Counterparty project who had participated in the first development phase of Overstock’s “cryptostock” exchange, Medici, now known as t0. Overstock wants t0 to become an alternative to traditional stock exchanges like the NYSE or Nasdaq, said Judd Bagley, Overstock communications director and t0 Chief Evangelist in a Distributed interview.
The Hyperledger Project, an initiative of the Linux Foundation, is also developing an enterprise-grade, open-source distributed ledger framework and codebase. Hyperledger’s technology aims at clearing and settling transactions in real time, with a throughput of thousands of transactions per second. However, actual performances reported by developers on the Hyperledger mailing list are significantly lower, which seems to support Long’s claim.
Long notes that Symbiont, which has kept a low profile so far and prioritized building its technology to create a first-mover advantage, is already implementing its platform at a production level. “Our publicly disclosed customers include the State of Delaware (Delaware Public Archives project) and a top European insurance company (catastrophe swap pilot project),” says Long. “Other customers are not yet disclosed.”

32MB Blocks: The Newest (Old) Solution to Bitcoin Scalability
There has been an ongoing Bitcoin block size debate, and most recently a radical, old idea resurfaced: instead of increasing the block size from 1MB to 2,4 or 8MB, the protocol should be changed to accommodate 32MB blocks. This probably pissed off Bram Cohen.
Also read: Bitcoin Miners Have Lost Interest In Block Size Debate
Are 32MB Blocks Too Big?
Here’s why that’s not a radical idea: it’s how Satoshi Nakamoto, creator of Bitcoin, for a time had designed Bitcoin before settling on a 1MB transaction size — a decision which, perhaps, led to Bitcoin being christened “digital gold.”
Calls for large block sizes are not so uncommon: Gavin Andresen himself once did exactly this.
Some have even suggested a block size that changes based on transaction demand. So, perhaps, a third way in the not so distant future for the distributed software is a fluctuating block size from 1MB to 32MB, depending on how much demand is ongoing.
One good reason for a block size is so that one block doesn’t carry so much transaction volume that it becomes impossible for many clients to download on the Bitcoin network. It’s interesting to note that, it already takes a long time to download the blockchain on Bitcoin clients. In fact, some might recommend only running full clients on a computer dedicated to the Bitcoin blockchain.
The block size debate has been ongoing for several years, and as of late it has reached a fever pitch. The largest proponents of Bitcoin oftentimes push their agendas openly. Roger Ver, a leading Bitcoin investor, recently noted that, if Bitcoin refuses to scale and onboard more users, it is in danger of becoming another MySpace; that is, a failed project.
This is misleading. There are major differences between social media websites and virtual cryptocurrencies. If bitcoin did not scale, there’s no doubt that demand for the currency would stay. To suggest otherwise is to do so without evidence.
The grave danger in scaling Bitcoin arises from the socio-economic realities of the coin. For one, many people have a great number of bitcoin. This certainly clouds their view and ability to speak objectively on the topic. The ability of monied people to sway public opinion is well understood, and it might be even easier in a Bitcoin universe where social media curates the information. That poses the second risk.
This could all result in events whereby unqualified individuals find themselves in the position to introduce new technology to the Bitcoin network not because of programming merits, but simply because of deep-pocketed marketing.
The calls will persist: 1, 2, 4, 8, 32MB blocks for the Bitcoin network. Perhaps how big the blocks are is not the main concern. The main concern might be the road traversed to increase the block size. What was sacrificed? How were opinions won? How informed are the thousands of Bitcoin participants who do not associate the digital currency with their identity, such as the usual suspects whose opinions are heard the loudest?
What do you think about 32MB blocks? Let us know in the comments below!

Yours Wants to Take Bitcoin Mainstream by Targeting Non-Bitcoin Communities
Former Reddit Cryptocurrency Engineer, Ryan X. Charles, is currently working on a new, bitcoin-powered social network, but he isn’t focused on creating something that will only be used by the Bitcoin community. In a recent interview on Epicenter Bitcoin, Charles noted that creating an app used by a mainstream audience would have much more value than simply creating /r/Bitcoin with micropayments.
Charles’s new platform is called Yours and the main goal is to create a way for content creators to get paid for their digital content directly from their audiences. Although he used to work at Reddit, Charles has noted that Yours is not simply a decentralized version of that social media platform.
Finding a First Non-Bitcoin Community for Yours
During the interview, Charles made it clear that Yours is currently searching for the first key community or demographic that the platform should try to attract. “I’m sort of vague about this now, but who are our core users?” he questioned. “What is community number one here?”
The reason Charles is somewhat vague on this point is because Yours has not yet identified the community that they should target first. Although many people within the Bitcoin community have heard of Yours, this is very much an unknown project among the general public and even among the general tech community.
Some think it would make sense to first focus on the Bitcoin community as a core batch of users, but Charles was quick to dismiss this idea. “If we made Reddit but with Bitcoin, I bet Bitcoin users would use it; however, I don’t think it’s in anybody’s interest that we do this first.” said Charles. “Bitcoin users would probably most benefit from it if we create something mainstream.”
“Everybody in the Bitcoin space wins if we start servicing people outside the Bitcoin community,” Charles added.
Charles’s argument is essentially that they’ll learn much more about what they’re building if they go after a community that is unrelated to Bitcoin. This way, Yours will be better able to understand whether they’re solving a real world problem or just creating another Bitcoin community forum. By going this route, Yours will also be able to ensure that their platform is not so complex that it can only be used by bitcoiners.
“I think it’s really important that we identify one community to be our core audience [who] are not already Bitcoin users,” concluded Charles.
The Manga Example
Manga was the one area of interest that Charles brought up as an example of a community that may be interested in using Yours. “I’m not a big manga fan, but there are a lot of reasons why we think that audience might be good for us,” he said. “They’re really sort of young, sophisticated people that create manga, which are Japanese comics, and there are huge communities of these people . . . They’re creating content. They’re not really able to monetize this in any way, but if they had a way to monetize it, they would love to do this full time.”
Charles went on to explain that Yours could target the manga community by telling them they can earn real money by creating and discovering new, quality manga. He added that Yours could make sure that their product gave the manga community all of the tools they need to easily post and earn money from their art.
“I don’t want to say that manga would necessarily be the first user, but something like that,” added Charles. “It’s a niche community. It’s outside of Bitcoin. Not everyone likes manga, but the people that do like it really like it.”
Onboarding New Bitcoin Users via Yours
One last point on the mainstream adoption of Bitcoin and Yours that was discussed on this episode of Epicenter Bitcoin was the issues involved with onboarding new users to this decentralized payment system. “It’s still kind of difficult to get [bitcoin],” said Charles. “Wallets have improved a lot over the years, but they’re still kind of technically sophisticated.”
In the past, traditional online payment options have also had to deal with this onboarding issue. In the case of PayPal, they handled it by literally paying new users to join their platform. “That is not out of the question for us,” Charles said, regarding PayPal’s strategy. “If we raised a bunch of money, we could do that . . . I don’t think we necessarily have to do that though.”
It should be noted that those who wish to create or view content do not need to have any bitcoin to use Yours. The use of bitcoin is only required when a user wishes to support someone else’s content via a payment.
Charles also mentioned the Coinbase Buy Widget as another easy way to onboard new Bitcoin users. The widget allows users to instantly purchase up to $ 5 worth of bitcoin per day with limited Know Your Customer restrictions.
“You just have to make it fluid for the users to get on and off,” said Charles.

New Algorithm Manages Bitcoin Price Volatility for Everyday Users
Bitcoin prices are fun, if you like roller coasters. For traders who see volatility as an opportunity to make money and are willing to accept the risks, this is great. However this volatility presents a risk for long-term investors, fund managers and businesses who use digital currency for day-to-day operations. The newly launched algorithm for Bitcoin trading, TWAP (Time Weighted Average Price), could save both money and headaches for people and companies not equipped for higher risk.
Benchmarking Your Trades
On January 15, 2016 at 21:58 GMT (Figure 1), the price for bitcoin was $ 390. In an hour, it dropped to $ 365. I’m sure you have your own annoying price drop stories. This kind of volatility creates multiple challenges. First, it increases risk; and second, it makes it difficult for your stakeholders to know whether you are providing them a fair price.
Companies using Bitcoin for operations rely on the price of bitcoin. If in one hour — about the time it takes for six confirmations — the price of BTC can swing by 7 percent (and it does!), companies need to add a buffer to account for it. Thus, volatility increases the overall cost of using digital currency.
Stakeholders care about your Bitcoin trading strategies. This includes the CFOs of firms (e.g. Bitcoin mining firms), your limited partners, suppliers, merchants and customers who are relying on you to get them the best price. Using digital currency is risky enough for customers, and asking them to take on additional trading risk is cumbersome. They don’t ask you to predict the market but they do ask that you give them a fair rate.
One way to evaluate and communicate your performance is to use a benchmark. A good benchmark averages out the volatility and provides you with a price that your stakeholders can trust. Digital currency fund managers, for example, use benchmarks to evaluate their trading strategies and make sure they are not undertaking additional risk. Payment companies who have inflows of digital currency throughout the day often use a benchmark rate to communicate to their customers.
How TWAP Works
To gauge trading performance, many traders in different asset classes (equity, fixed income, currency) often use average price as a benchmark. The two common ways to calculate an average are a time-weighted average price (TWAP) and a volume-weighted average price (VWAP). TWAP is the average price of a bitcoin over the course of a specified period of time and VWAP is price multiplied by number of bitcoins traded, and then divided by the total number of bitcoins traded during a time period.
While these benchmarks are great, they are not very useful if you can’t trade on those prices. If you have to commit to a benchmark and don’t have any tools to make sure you can get that price when trading, you are now exposing yourself to additional risk. To solve the problem, we propose a time-weighted average price algorithm which will get you as close as possible to TWAP.
The algorithm trades over the desired time, either 1, 6, 12 or 24 hour(s), and will give you a TWAP over that time period. For example, if you set the TWAP algorithm to sell 12 bitcoins over 12 hours, the algorithm will sell throughout the period, aiming to get a 12-hour TWAP.
How Good Is It?
As good as a safety bar on a roller coaster. Using historical data, SFOX simulated how the TWAP algorithm would perform. We ran simulations on multiple days with high and low volatility. We also ran simulations at different lengths. Included below are two different simulations.
.jpg)
The x-axis represents specific minutes. At any given minute (time=0), a trader has a choice: she could trade now (open) or in an hour from now (close), or she could use a TWAP algorithm during that hour. The chart shows the open price (price you would get if you traded at a specific time), a close price (price one hour from the open price) and the TWAP price.
TWAP does exactly as expected — it gets an average price. We also included a VWAP graph to show you what the volume-weighted average price during that hour would be.
Our TWAP algorithm comes fairly close to VWAP and TWAP in the simulations. The performance of the algorithm depends on market conditions, liquidity, volatility, time of day and size of the order.
We also ran a simulation over a 12-hour period, given the option to trade at the beginning of the period (open), at the end of the 12-hour period (close) or using TWAP. Also provided for reference is the VWAP calculated over a one-hour period. As expected, TWAP came fairly close to the average price over a 12-hour period.
With TWAP, loss aversion bias can kick in. If bitcoin’s price moves +$ 30, the trader using TWAP to sell would have yielded a lower amount (~+$ 15) and thus may feel bad about “leaving money on the table.” Average doesn’t always feel good but keep in mind the trade-off yields stability and reduced risk.
We all want to minimize risk; however, the question is, are we willing to pay the price by settling for an average price? Many of us think we can time the market better than the rest (aka overconfidence bias). No one aspires to buy or sell at an “average” price. In an average, half the time you are on the winning side, while the other half of the time you are on the losing side. That means, given our loss aversion bias, the times when we lose will cause us to feel more pain. The fact is, risk mitigation is important and averages are a bedrock in that strategy. (It’s all risk vs. reward: lower the risk, lower the reward.) Think of TWAP as dollar cost averaging, an important tool to help minimize risk. You can’t predict where the market is going, so why put all your money in at once? If you don’t use TWAP and lose to the full price swing, you will feel even worse.
For a number of types of investors and strategies, TWAP is ideal — and especially so when trading a large number of bitcoins.

Re: Which one is better for bitcoin future? Mass adoption or huge price increase?
I chose mass adoption, because with it, many people including merchants will utilize bitcoin and it will help bitcoin grow into a less volatile currency because people don't have to convert to cash most of the time and use it as is.

MEANINGFUL FUN & SOCIAL PROFIT
Caring Currency Project – a Fun and Exciting opportunity to be happier, make more friends find meaning in your life and build your reputation as being Part Of the Solution (POS) in business, society… JOIN US, and make China and the world a better place.
(How China Saved the World)
How? Help us create, develop and share the “Caring Currency” ecosystem – a much needed complimentary and alternative ecosystem to the high stress, high pressure, low satisfaction lifestyles we are living today. Become Part Of the Solution, create a Caring Currency used in a Lifestyle Of Health, Happiness And Sustainability (LOHHAS).
Ecosystem?
We live in ecosystems – Cultural, Financial and Environmental…they’re all related and interdependent. Actually, everything is dependent on our Environmental Ecosystem, because without food, water and air there is no human culture or opportunity to do business and support the human world we’ve created. Caring Currency will fill the gaps and connect the dots, making our lives meaningful.
The BLOCKCHAIN
The BLOCKCHAIN is the brilliant underlying technology of Bitcoin, creating a world-wide, peer-to-peer medium of exchange, accounting system with methods to store value. Build your reputation in a trustless system – no third party, but instead a face-to-face and peer-to-peer people-oriented platform. Caring Currency has priceless, special values – human values.
What about business? Show Me the Money…
Smart people realize that money is only money. You can’t eat or drink it. You can’t have a conversation with it, and as much as we need it and want it, it distorts our perspectives and controls our lives in many negative ways. The pursuit of money alone hurts us and the planet we depend on.
Caring Currency is a financial business on the BLOCKCHAIN – the home of the Republic Of Conscience.
Caring Currency is a New, Parallel World – in the Republic Of Conscience
Hard to define in old terms, nothing comparable to the Republic Of Conscience has existed until the connectivity of the internet and accounting of the BLOCKCHAIN made it possible… Old financial terms and structures that existed prior to the BLOCKCHAIN and Bitcoin – Money, Security, medium of exchange etc. will be naturally updated to freely serve people around the world in new ways.
Freedom..
Although we live different nations, with all their opportunities and restrictions, we can free ourselves from those burdens by changing our attitudes, outlook and decision-making criteria. Caring Currency expresses the Freedom of our individual State Of Mind in the Republic Of Conscience.
FUN…and Education
With a variety of fun coin names like KuaiLeBi (Happy Coin) and DUCKeCOIN, Caring Currency is (1.) first meant to bring light-hearted fun and smiles to people’s faces and make their lives and relationships happier, and (2.) secondly, exercise the practice of giving back to society, building generosity, social cohesion and harmony. (3.) Thirdly, give the masses practical, technical experience with virtualcurrency, wallets and transferring values through the BLOCKCHAIN.
INVESTMENT
What is most important to you? Money or Friends?
I have a question for you… can you buy friends?
Some people think they can, but the quality of those friendships are always very poor.
However, you can definitely “invest” in friendship by INVESTING IN YOURSELF. (To find more friends, you must invest in learning to BE a friend!)
HOW YOU CAN LEAD A HAPPIER, HEALTHIER, MORE MEANINGFUL LIFE
Take CARE of yourself,
Invest in yourself…
YOUR NETWORK – Join the leaders of the new world based on the BLOCKCHAIN…
YOUR EXPERTISE – the BLOCKCHAIN is less than 5 years old, you know more than most people!
YOUR SKILL SET – this is your opportunity to experiment, test and try new things!
YOUR RELATIONSHIPS – improve your relationships by improving yourself.
YOUR WEALTH – build a fortune to live a secure and meaningful future.
YOUR AMBITION – Helping others reach their positive goals, will provide the platform and resources for your ambitions.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
We are developing a new way to “buy friends” and gain respect – winning their hearts and minds through appreciation and “gifting” through the Caring Currency ecosystem.
Some people call it “Pay It Forward” but simply put, we’re developing a system of quantifying, distributing and recycling our goodwill. Join us and learn more.
What we need: Your skills, passion and commitment.
The benefit to you… Participating with passionate people, where you will find inspiration to create your own state of mind, money-making businesses and spinoffs.
What you need to do – no experience necessary!
Show your courage, commitment and support – Send us a 3 Finger Photo of yourself, and a brief explanation of your skills and how you want to use your skills to create a Caring Currency for a better world. Don’t forget to smile_\!/

LEOcoin: Currency for the World of Business Technology
LEOcoin is a relatively new digital currency that operates on a blockchain-based, peer-to-peer network. Entering a market saturated with altcoins, this project will have to set itself apart from the crowd if it wants to avoid getting drowned out by all the altcoin noise.
Disclaimer: This article was sponsored by LEOcoin. Bitcoinist is not responsible for this project’s products and/or services.
LEOcoin Attempts to Address the Needs of Business in the Technological Age
The team behind this project seems to recognize the uphill battle they face, and wants to differentiate their coin by optimizing it for business transactions. LEOcoin, using a proof-of-stake algorithm, is “designed to be a world currency and the currency of choice for entrepreneurs,” as stated on the project’s website.
“We combine development skills, international infra-structure [sic], [and] real world entrepreneurial know how,” the website reads, “creating a platform for growth second to none.”
Bitcoinist sat down with the project’s co-founder and CEO Dan Anderson to learn more about this project, and to ask him how his team plans to succeed in an environment where altcoins are abundant, and respect for them is minimal.
Tell us a little bit about LEOcoin’s background, what inspired its creation?
LEOcoin was created in June 2014, and has been backed by a dedicated digital currency exchange (www.LEOxChange.com) since April 2015. It is the first digital currency to be launched in the UK that is designed for small business owners; allowing individuals to make fast, secure and cost effective transactions through a decentralised peer-to-peer network. The usability and accessibility of the currency positions LEOcoin as a world currency and the currency of choice for entrepreneurs.
The unique opportunity LEOcoin offers compared to other digital currencies is that it was created with an oven-ready community of users via LEO’s global community of entrepreneurs.
The big picture is to help the millions of people all over the world, who are frankly poorly served by existing multi-national institutions. The arbitrary barriers placed in front of them are frankly offensive and we think that LEOcoin can be part of the answer to break down these institutional roadblocks to people trying to earn a living and do business.
Tell us about the development team’s experience, what kind of things have they worked on in the past?
Our development team working as part of the LEOcoin Foundation have all worked on smaller digital currency projects in the past. These projects were usually experiments and learning opportunities to develop digital currency knowledge. They are based all over the world However, since launching LEOcoin, they have successfully gone through a hard fork as part of a move to a unique method of Proof of Stake and are working on developing and improving the coin every day.
How are you funding this project?
LEOcoin was created and developed by the LEOcoin Foundation. The main funder of the Foundation is LEO, an e-learning and education business dedicated to meeting the needs of small businesses and entrepreneurs.
What is the purpose of Leocoin, why should people use it instead of Bitcoin or any other altcoin?
LEO has a global community of merchants and members who were keen for a way to trade internationally without the barriers and restrictions that come with conventional currencies.
LEOcoin was designed to be an entrepreneur’s currency, that truly levels the playing field for international traders and small businesses. Of course LEOcoin is available to more than just LEO members, anyone can start up a LEO wallet with a few clicks of a button.
We have designed LEOcoin to be as user friendly as possible. Bitcoin was indeed the trailblazer, but is based on older technologies and has always been too complex for the general user, not to mention requiring powerful computers to run. LEOcoin has learnt from Bitcoin’s experience and offers a more accessible approach. Our Proof of Stake model requires a fraction of the processing power, significantly lowering the barriers of entry to consumers.
Additionally, the way our PoS system is designed is unheard of in the sector. We have tiered the rewards. People who stake wallets with at least 1000 coins get 10% reward over a year. 5000 coins secure a 15% annual return and 50000 coins merit at 20% annual reward. As far as we know, no other coin in the world has a PoS system likes this and the structure certainly incentivise positive behaviour.
What has the reception for this project been like so far? Are a lot of people expressing interest in the coin?
LEOcoin continues to go from strength to strength. We launched with considerable fanfare in London and Hong Kong in 2014, and since then the LEOcoin community has continued to grow.
LEOcoin can be traded on multiple exchanges and recent trading volumes have been very high. On some exchanges there have been days when LEOcoin’s trading volume has been second only to Bitcoin’s. Now that’s obviously not a daily event, but it’s a great endorsement of the cointo see who’s trading and visit www.leoxchange.com for the latest trading price.
What is your long-term plan for success?
LEOcoin was created to be a levelling force in international trade for small business owners and entrepreneurs. We will measure our success by the number of opportunities LEOcoin creates for those budding businesses. Every time there’s a trade between individuals/businesses using LEOcoin where a fiat currency would have been restrictive or costly is a success in our book.
And going beyond that, we have a desire to change the way that business is done. We can start by improving systems and increasing access for people, but fundamentally there are massive institutions who are getting in people’s way and their size and history means that they can get away with it. These institutions are well overdue some major disruption, and that would be a great achievement for LEOcoin.
Is LEOcoin meant to be a competitor to Bitcoin or a compliment to the advantages Bitcoin already provides?
We did not create LEOcoin to be a competitor against Bitcoin, we’ve created LEOcoin to be a real alternative for international trading between small businesses and entrepreneurs. We have sought to emulate the advantages of blockchain technology, like that used by Bitcoin, whilst removing the drawbacks and the high barriers to entry.
Is LEOcoin meant to replace fiat?
LEOcoin is about creating a viable alternative to fiat currencies, one that breaks down international barriers. We have not set out to replace them. In fact if you look at www.leoxchange.com trades can be made in a combination of digital currencies and fiat currencies. We are trying to give businesses as much flexibility as possible.
Ultimately digital currencies can be a global way of transferring value. If you look at the old-world currencies. The pound has crashed; the Euro is in trouble, the dollar turbulent. Maybe it’s time the world looks at a more global solution that isn’t subject to the petty whims of national governments?
Thank you, Dan, for taking the time to answer our questions. Bitcoinist will continue to follow this project as it develops, and will stay in communication with the LEOcoin team to bring readers the latest news.
What do you think about LEOcoin? Will it succeed? Let us know in the comments below!

BlockPay to Host ICO on OpenLedger Cryptocurrency Exchange
BlockPay, a cryptocurrency payment solutions provider, has announced an ICO to raise funds for development. Set to open in early 2017, the ICO will be hosted by OpenLedger, who is already administering a pre-ICO that went live on August 23.
Disclaimer: This article was sponsored by Bitcoin PR Buzz. Bitcoinist is not affiliated with the firms represented by Bitcoin PR Buzz and is not responsible for their products and/or services.
BlockPay Working to Solve Perceived Blockchain ‘Risks’
The Munich-based firm works to solve “security and business risks” present in blockchain technologies. By mitigating these risks, the company believes that businesses will be more open to accepting digital currencies, which BlockPay offers to help them with for free.
One of the main ways the company addresses these perceived risks is by developing standardized point-of-sale tools for merchants. They say that funds raised through the ICO will help fund the maintenance and expansion of their efforts.
So far, the company has produced a standalone application that merchants can use to accept digital payments, alongside an “integrated system” that enables digital payments on existing ecommerce and point-of-sale systems.
BlockPay is also responsible for the recently-announced Echo Wallet, advertised as “a multi-currency, multi-asset wallet that also doubles as a secure communication application.”
Echo “solves two major problems of our time: Privacy and Financial freedom,” said BlockPay co-founder and CEO Christoph Hering.
The company is currently having a pre-ICO hosted by OpenLedger, which has raised over 300 BTC so far. Individuals can participate in the pre-ICO by going to BlockPay’s official ICO page, or the CCEDK website. Tokens can be purchased with BTC, BTS, ETH and SBD.
The full, public ICO is scheduled to open in early 2017, where 5 million tokens will be up for sale. OpenLedger says the ICO will run until all the tokens are sold.
What do you think about this new project? Will it help businesses accept digital payments? Let us know in the comments below!
