Raiden Network introduces µRaiden: A Micropayment Solution for Ethereum
Raiden Network is a project that will provide low-cost, scalable and instant token transfer for Ethereum.
Even though the Raiden Network is not yet fully ready for prime time, it currently introduces µRaiden as an off-the-shelf micropayment solution which already has some of its features such as solving the latency and scalability issues of many use cases today.
Micro Raiden is a robust framework that implements free and instant pay-per-use payment method technology in commercial applications.
The framework is open-source and easy to use system to implement ERC20-based smicropayments.
Applications that requires recurring payments or even micropayments from customers can greatly benefit from it.
Some of these are pay-per-request APIs, paywalls for news articles, livestream tipping, micropayments for bandwidth, storage & computations and a lot more.
Micro Raiden will also be used in the Raiden Network to make payments to auxilliary helpers for channel monitoring services.
A live demo for µRaiden can be accessed here: https://demo.micro.raiden.network/

Aliant: Another Mainstream Adoption for Bitcoin
Aliant Payment Systems recently partnered with Bitpay to offer to its customers a Bitcoin payment option.
Aliant is a company that provides online merchant services and credit card processing based in the US.
The company is a large payment system especially in the area of medicine therefore it transports bitcoin into the medical world.
The adoption also includes the accepting bitcoin payments for non-profit organizations such as The Boys and Girls Club of America and The Rotary Club.
Aliant's other client-merchant base includes retailers, restaurants, e-commerce websites, mail order business, wholesalers and professional services.
This is a new step forward for Bitcoin towards gaining more mainstream adoption.
China's Bitcoin Ban May Greatly Benefit Hong Kong
Chinese government has recently shook the cryptocurrency industry when it issued a nationwide ban on ICOs and followed it with the disbanding of Bitcoin exchanges in the country.
ICOs in China were big businesses in the country with total funding of about US$400 mln and the government claimed 90% of these are fraudulent.
Due to these series of events, investors from China may need to find other places for their business and the speculation is that Hong Kong will be the target of a lot of these investors.
If this would happen, it would be a positive thing for Hong Kong as numerous cryptocurrency projects might relocate to the city.
