Hello again, dear community members!
We are glad to inform you that our #MetaNews column is back. Therefore, you will find a number of fresh news about the world of cryptocurrency and blockchain. Enjoy reading!
This year the first blockchain university will be opened.
The story:
Several researchers from Oxford are planning to open an institute that is fully organized on the blockchain tech.
Details:
The introduction of the Blockchain to the management of the university will subsequently help to reduce educational fees. This will be possible due to the abolition of many intermediary posts that exist in all traditional educational institutions.
It is reported that a team of highly qualified teachers has already been recruited. The average cost of training will be about $ 19,200, which is a third less than the usual contributions to educational institutions in the UK.
Why it is important:
This situation once again shows the effectiveness of the blockchain and that it can be fully implemented not only in the financial sector but also in any other, such as education or health care. In addition, cost reduction will make learning much more affordable for potential students.
54% of cryptocurrency exchanges have security issues
The story:
According to a research conducted by ICO Rating, more than half of cryptocurrency exchanges, with a daily turnover more than $ 1 million, have security problems.
Details:
Security exchanges consist of several factors. Thus, the report states that at 41% of sites a user can set a password shorter than 8 characters, while 37% of exchanges allow passwords only with numbers or only with letters.
In addition, problems with domain security, lack of two-factor authentication, and some other.
The first place in this ranking was taken by the Coinbase Pro exchange, receiving 89 points.
Why it is important:
Safety of funds on the Internet is always a big question, especially for novice users. The report will allow you to more intelligently manage your resources and choose the platform that you can really trust. This is also a call to action for the exchanges themselves, which can draw conclusions and close the “holes” in their own security.
Exchange Huobi has created its own social network
The story:
In late September, one of the most famous cryptocurrency exchanges, Huobi, launched the beta version of its own social network - Huobi Chat.
Details:
The platform is distinguished by high technology, information security and future opportunities. So it is planned to create a token specifically for this social network, which can be obtained for the support and development of Huobi Chat. In the future, it is possible to integrate the platform with cryptocurrency payments and the token exchange function.
The release date for a wide range of users is not yet known.
Why it is important:
Year after year, the crypto community is getting stronger. Its unification in one place will help speed up the development and expansion of the field of cryptocurrency assets. These actions will help not only to support the market but also increase the importance of the crypto community in the eyes of government and people who have no relation to digital currency.
