On Feb 8th 2018, Francesco “The Bomber” Firano revealed to the Nano core team the Bitgrail situation. Allegedely, Bitgrail was hacked to the tune of 17 million XRB, which is just over $170 Million USD. As a percentage of total Nano supply, the Bitgrail hack is worse than Mt. Gox. The reason for the alleged hack […]
What is an oracle and what does it do? An oracle network removes the need to trust a single participant for critical data input. There’s no point to using a trustless, decentralised, fault-tolerant and Turing-complete blockchain smart contract platform if the data interface to the real world can be compromised. If the data itself is […]
This week in Rai, uh… Nano. What a week Nano has had. Earlier this week, Bitgrail, the largest volume exchange supporting Nano, stopped allowing withdrawals without verification.

The reason you don’t hear about ChainLink (LINK) is because the developers don’t go marketing their product at all. While Justin Sun, the founder of Tron is amazing at hyping up every new development, ChainLink’s Sergey Nazarov is quite the opposite. ChainLink’s founder rarely tweets, apparently refuses to do interviews, and doesn’t really interact with […]
Cryptocurrencies just got exhumed from the frantic grip of the 2014-2017 bear market last year. The trajectory for blockchain and distributed ledger technologies has only been upwards since then, but every once in a while we see a huge dip in this market. It’s not unheard of for the market to crash by 30-40% in […]
Read the Whitepaper Businesses have annual reports, politicians have tax returns (most of the time), and cryptocurrencies have the whitepaper. Every cryptocurrency or token released will have a whitepaper; it’s almost ceremonial. Popularised by Satoshi Nakamoto’s original whitepaper, the concept caught on because it’s an easy way to get a little technical and showcase the […]

2017 will always be remembered as the year in which hip hop grew up and moved beyond the mainstream and underground divide. Names like Vince Staples, Lil Uzi Vert and even Lil Pump brought in their own non-genre rap and Kendrick Lamar and Jay Z fortunately stuck to the classics and made it better. Rap […]
Spoilers ahead! Star Wars: The Last Jedi has completely torn apart one of the largest pop franchise fandoms ever. The new kids on the block – Kylo Ren aka Ben Solo (Adam Driver) and Rey (Daisy Ridley) are going down the Hollywood’s rating trap of will-they-won’t-they, and it’s honestly disappointing. A lot of things were […]
