🗞 Zk-Snarks Everywhere: Ethereum Privacy Tech Hits Tipping Point
Despite his reservations, the crowd scrambled for seats as zcash researcher Andrew Miller took to the stage at Devcon3 today. But the response, at times elated, perhaps shouldn't have been a surprise as the third day of ethereum's flagship developer conference featured a selection of sessions devoted to zk-snarks and other privacy advances made possible by ethereum's latest software upgrade, Byzantium.
As Jacob Eberhardt, author of ZoKrates, a brand new zk-snarks development toolkit, told CoinDesk:
"It’s a bit like the early days in ethereum – it's not clear what will happen, but everyone can see the potential."

🗞 Bjork’s Latest Album Available Only With Cryptocurrencies, Shows Adoption
Known for embracing all things edgy, musician Bjork has announced that her latest album, Utopia, will be available for purchase only through cryptocurrencies. The artist will accept Bitcoin, Litecoin, DASH, and AudioCoin. Interestingly, the album cannot be purchased using normal fiat currencies.
"This really isn’t a marketing strategy with Björk. This is a decision to be a leader. In fact, it’s just the obvious thing to do for her. If I wasn’t involved in this project, I’d expect Björk to be a leader in this area, and for her team to be doing creative things with crypto.”

🗞 How to Protect Yourself From the CryptoShuffle Trojan
The trojan has already caused a substantial amount of damage in just a short time, though the cyber researchers believe the trojan has been working for perhaps a year or more. Per Kaspersky:
“…cybercriminals have already managed to steal 23 Bitcoins, which is the equivalent of approximately $140,000 (as of the end of October). In addition, thousands of dollars of other cryptocurrencies such as Litecoin, Dash, Monero, Ethereum, Zcash and Dogecoin, have been accumulated.”

🗞 Cryptocurrency Mining Malware Targets Australians via SMS
Australians have increasingly become the target of an SMS-based bitcoin mining scam. The scam entices users with fictional free bitcoins that supposedly can be located at two shortened URLs; however, if visited, the USR will hijack that user’s computing power for the purpose of mining cryptocurrency on behalf of the scammers.

BTC Trading Update by @cryptopassion
Apparently, the market decided to make a new top instead of doing its healthy reversal :
Did it change my analysis that the correction is imminent ? NO
Look the volume for the last 3 days : we did new tops each day with a decreasing volume...
The Up trend has more and more difficulties to continue and I'm afraid that this new top will create a more powerfull correction than my previous scenario.

Lol, that Bjork bit is great. I guess if I can only get "Bachelorette" with "Bjorkcoin", it won't be too much skin off my back.
Indeed, we can live without it I am sure ^^.
Cool about Bjork @vlemon. But she needs to get those tracks on Musicoin somewhat quick! FYI: Right here's an article with some in-depth info about Musicoin's UBI implementation.
Some of the news are not so good to hear, as the cybercriminals are targeting crypto more often lately, and each time in a new and unanticipated way. Hope they won't succeed doing much damadge
Indeed, hopefully they will not suceed.
Thank you for your comment.
