Rapper Kanye West has managed to kill an altcoin named in his honour, six months after it was launched by a team of developers. Called Coinye West, the altcoin was subsequently renamed Coinye in an attempt to continue its business activities even in the face of legal pressure. The developers envisioned Coinye as a fun and simple altcoin for the hip-hop community, and even tweeted news about its development to the rapper in the hopes he would embrace the concept. This plan backfired, however, as Kanye West sued the Coinye team on 8th January, starting a lengthy legal process that has been ongoing since this time. The resulting legal onslaught even caused the closure of one exchange involved with the coin's planned launch.Originally announced on 3rd January and arriving shortly after the meme-based dogecoin, Coinye arguably arrived at the height of the altcoin industry's more irreverent phase.Despite the legal challenges, the coin maintains an active Bitcoin Talk thread and reportedly still trades on some exchanges under the ticker symbols COYE or KOI. (I kind of remember hearing about this, but I wasn't following cryptocurrency at that time).
l'argent du nouveau monde
Currently, there are at least 100 internationally recognized cryptocurrencies. They have different values and risk ratings that are explained at cryptocurrencyprices.net.
"The Internet goes much deeper than most people know. In fact, the World Wide Web as we know it represents just 4% of networked web pages — the remaining 96% of pages make up what many refer to as the Invisible Internet, Invisible Web or Deep Web. This massive subsection of the Internet is 500 times bigger than the visible Web and is not indexed by search engines like Google". I posted this link in a blog post here in January 2014 how-to-access-tor-silk-road-deep-web. For reasons I can't exactly recall, I associated cryptocurrency with the deep web,probably because of the anonymity of the transactions. I never tried to access it, but I am curious about it.
"It is not by any means inaccessible to regular citizens. The darknet is often associated with highly illegal activity, which, for the most part, is true. However, TOR, which is the most common software used to access websites, was not originally developed for this reason... According to Digital Trends, TOR was originally developed to route the information of a user to multiple (meaning up to hundreds of) computers within the TOR network in the interest of maintaining anonymity on the web". From another article on the Deep Web/Darknet that is more recent delving-into-the-deep-web.
I created a list of randomly selected countries and their currency exchange rates compared to $1 US(see table 1). Then I started adding links to articles from cryptocurrency news for those countries, 03-25-2018. I might update as news is reported.
