0/ #Crypto ending the week with a full head of steam. Not ready for the weekend just yet!

Here's the latest from the #cryptocurrency/#blockchain space over the past 24 hours or so...
1/ 🔧 @POANetwork [ $POA ], @CompoundFinance, and @ConsenSys have teamed up to develop Mana, an open source, full node #Ethereum client written in Elixir, a programming language that runs on Erlang Virtual Machine (i.e., BEAM).

2/ 🤖 @Singularity_NET [ $AGI ] was chosen by @MaltaGov to help them fulfil their desire to explore #AI as an economic niche.

The #crypto startup - known for their work with @HansonRobotics' @RealSophiaRobot - will first help create the world's first 'Robot Citizenship Test'.
3/ 🔀 At #Devcon4, @0xProject [ $ZRX ] revealed its first steps toward a community-centric governance model.

Click below for the presentation slides put together by #0x co-founder @WillWarren89 and research fellow Peter Zeitz. Thanks for sharing, team! docs.google.com/presentation/d…
4/ @Quantstamp [ $QSP ] completed its "most significant audit" yet: the Plasma MVP implementation by @Omise_GO [ $OMG ], a fellow @EthereumECF member.

#Quantstamp audited security-related issues, code quality + adherence to specificat'n/best practices. medium.com/quantstamp/qua…
5/ 🐱 Vancouver-domiciled @Dapper_Labs raised $15M in a @Venrock-led funding round.

Some other participants: @GVteam, @SamsungNEXT, @CoinFund_io, @USV, @a16z, and @DCGco.

The funding will help the @CryptoKitties/#KittyVerse/#Dapper-creator reach mainstream consumers.
6/ 📝 Both @Bitfinex and its #Ethereum-powered spinoff, @Ethfinex, listed the three most-voted-on #crypto-tokens from R12 of 'Ethfinex Community Listing Vote':

@INTChain [ $INT ], @DragonchainGang [ $DRN ], & @Kleros_io's pinakion [ $PTK ].

All tradable in /ETH & /USD markets.
7/ 🌵 @NathanielPopper wrote a great piece for the NYT on @JeffreyKBerns' grand plans for @BlockchainsLLC.

They're building the first-ever #blockchain-powered smart city in Sparks, NV. Oh, there'll be an e-gaming arena, too!

Certainly worth the read. nytimes.com/2018/11/01/tec…
8/ 🔗 Decentralized oracle network @Chainlink [ $LINK ] acquired fellow oracle-focussed #crypto project, Town Crier (TC).

Created by students and faculty at @initc3org, the TC system can authenticate data for smart contracts by leveraging trusted hardware (i.e., #IntelSGX).

10/ 📰 @TheBlock__'s Larry Cermak (@lawmaster) broke down Morgan Stanley's most recent 50-page report dedicated to #bitcoin, #cryptocurrency, and #blockchain.

A wonderfully condensed piece, with some visual aids kept for good measure. Time-saver! theblockcrypto.com/2018/11/01/mor…
11/ 🌍 US-based @BittrexExchange's new global exchange offering - @BittrexIntl - went live today!

Upon launch, they listed @Mossland [ $MOC ], @PundiXLabs [ $NPXS ], and @Zilliqa [ $ZIL ]; three #crypto-tokens not available on the original #Bittrex.
12/ 🌱 The #Ethereum-powered @Cent, a social network whereby content creators can generate income, published their "most significant update yet," introducing an incentive mechanism known as 'Seeding'.

"Incentivized giving" > altruistic tipping. Neat idea! medium.com/cent-official/…
13/ 🔒 @CodexProtocol x @TagsmartHQ

The two will create a new layer of trust in the art market by combining blockchain #technology with tagging and certification services.

Soon, #Tagsmart's users will be able to commit verifiable provenance records to Codex's #blockchain.
14/ ⛓️ The @Coinbase-backed, @Ethereum-powered @ElphNetwork announced the #testnet launch of its decentralized network of scalable, highly secure #Plasma sidechains (i.e., Plasma Chains).

16/ 🗽 The world's largest #Bitcoin ATM network, @Coin_source, was issued a virtual currency license (i.e., #BitLicense) by the @NYDFS, the first new licensee since @CashApp in June.

The Texas-based #Coinsource can now operate in the state of New York; a lucrative market indeed!
17/ ⚖️ #Crypto startup @StablyCoin announced the early-access launch of its #StableUSD [ $USDS ]. The #stablecoin is pegged/backed 1:1 by USD.

Of note, users of Stably's future platform will be able to view the balance of its fiat reserve in *real-time*. medium.com/stably-blog/st…

21/ 👨🏻‍🏫 Rounding out today's thread, we had @NuggetsNewsAU's @AlexSaundersAU share a great tutorial on how to use @MakerDAO's sleek new interface to borrow against your $ETH, all from within your #crypto hardware wallet.
