1. Bitcoin's Next Big Software Upgrade to Feature New Language for Crypto Keys

Bitcoin may be hard to use even with consumer-friendly tools, while running its core infrastructure is even harder. However, this isn't stopping efforts to change that.
The global, volunteer developer group behind the most popular implementation of the software, Bitcoin Core, is soon to debut its 17th major software release, one which puts to code a number of highly-anticipated changes. Of particular emphasis is improving the software's default wallet, where user's bitcoin private keys are stored.
Perhaps the most interesting update is the debut of a new "language," initially proposed by prominent bitcoin contributor Pieter Wuille, known for designing some of the most radical changes to bitcoin in recent years (including Segregated Witness, which helped chip away at bitcoin's scalability problem last year).
The idea behind the new language is to add important extra information to keys. Or, as Bitcoin Core contributor Andrew Chow put it, it provides a "sane" alternative to the problematic "account" system that was recently ripped out of the software. Simply put, it allows users to name their different accounts. Like labeling one "donations" and another "savings."

비트코인 코어 개발팀이 곧 17번째 major software release를 할 예정이라고 합니다. 사용자의 비트코인 개인키가 저장되어 있는 비트코인 코어 기본 지갑의 개선이 되고, 작년 확장성 개선에 도움이 된 SegWit 등 최근 비트코인의 큰 변화에 기여한 Pieter Wuille이 최초 제안했던 새로운 language 추가가 주요 내용입니다. 새로운 language 는 키에 대한 라벨링 정보가 추가되어 사용자들이 지갑간 키 이동을 쉽게 할 수 있다고 합니다.

2. China clamps down on cryptocurrency speculation, but not blockchain development

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/09/03/china-clamps-down-on-cryptocurrency-speculation.html

Chinese authorities have stepped up their pressure on domestic cryptocurrency activity in the last few weeks.
While Beijing supports the development of the underlying blockchain technology, it is still trying to limit speculation in digital currencies roughly one year since banning their sales in "initial coin offerings."
Blockchain technology creates a secure, basically permanent record of transactions between two parties, eliminating the need for a third-party intermediary such as a bank. Bitcoin is the first application of the technology, and hundreds of other cryptocurrencies have since emerged. Their prices skyrocketed last year as investors bet blockchain could transform the world as much as the internet did. While major companies and governments — including China's — are testing the technology, it has yet to prove itself on a large scale.
China used to dominate bitcoin trading, and still accounts for a majority of bitcoin creation through the "mining" process. But increased regulatory scrutiny, especially as bitcoin's price climbed, culminated in the country's central bank and other financial authorities prohibiting sales of new cryptocurrencies through so-called ICOs early last September. Beijing also effectively banned domestic bitcoin-yuan trading.
At the same time, Japanese, South Korean and U.S. investors became increasingly interested in bitcoin, which hit an all-time high above $19,000 in December. Chinese blockchain projects sometimes moved their listed headquarters overseas, while development continued within mainland China. Trading among cryptocurrencies is still possible, while bitcoin can be bought with yuan through over-the-counter markets.

In a speech in May, Chinese President Xi Jinping called blockchain a "breakthrough" technology. The Communist Party also published in August a book whose title translates roughly as "Blockchain — a reader for cadre leaders."
Several local governments including that of Hangzhou — home to tech giant Alibaba — Shanghai and Nanjing have announced blockchain investments. That makes for a total of about $3.57 billion since 2016, according to estimates published Aug. 28 on news site SupChina by Miryam Amsili, a member of the global development team for Shanghai-based Neo Blockchain and a graduate student at Peking University.
Throughout the regulatory changes affecting cryptocurrency, private investment in blockchain remains steady.
BlockVC, which counts Beijing among its main offices, is investing in 40 to 50 blockchain-related projects, according to Mingxuan Li, its chief operating officer and co-founder. He said the company's focus is more on underlying technological development.

중국이 블록체인에 대한 규제를 계속 강화하고 있지만 블록체인 개발에 대해서는 투자를 하고 있습니다.
중국 시진핑 주석도 5월에 블록체인을 혁신 기술 이라고 했다고 하며, 여러 지방정부들이 2016년 이후 투자한 금액만 $35.7억 달러로 추산된다고 하네요.

즐거운 하루 보내세요 ^^
