SAN FRANCISCO, USA, October 31st, 2024/Chainwire/--Tony Vejseli, Figure Markets Holdings Inc., and GXD Labs, LLC (collectively “the Group”) today issued a statement to address recent developments following a meeting held on October 28 at White & Case’s Midtown Manhattan offices, where the Group met with the board of directors (the “Board”) and management team of Ionic Digital, Inc. (the “Company” or “Ionic”). The Group thanked White & Case for hosting the discussion but noted a need for clarification following the Company’s summary of the meeting in a press release, which they believe misrepresented several key points. In response to Ionic’s statement regarding its affirmation of “strong momentum” and its “laser-focus” on implementing its strategic initiatives, the Group raised concerns over the Board’s apparent lack of knowledge of core operating metrics. They highlighted that the Board appeared unprepared to discuss any aspects of its financial or operational performance, including by answering any of Mr. Vejseli’s questions as described in his post on X, leading to questions about the Company’s competitive position and valuation. The Group also expressed skepticism about Ionic’s ability to complete its audit, initially expected in early 2024 and now anticipated by Q1 2025 according to the Company, within the announced timeframe due to the apparent lack of available financial information, including the Company’s EBITDA and expenses. The Group indicated that alternative liquidity options for shareholders were discussed, yet they felt these options had not been fully explored or evaluated by the Board. The Group also raised concerns over Ionic’s contract with Hut 8, noting that, although it had presented a proposed solution, no alternative path forward was discussed by the Board or management. During the meeting, the Group outlined a proposed plan for refreshment of the Board, specifically suggesting the resignation of three current board members—Scott Duffy, Tom DiFiore, and Emmanuel Aidoo – to be replaced by three new, independent directors with the requisite experience and skill sets. The proposal, supported by a detailed presentation, emphasized the need for strategic and experienced leadership to better align the company’s actions with shareholder interests. Shareholders are encouraged to review the proposal and consider supporting a special meeting to vote on board changes. About Figure Markets Figure Markets is democratizing finance through blockchain.

Ryta Zasiekina, founder of breakthrough fintech project Concryt, has announced her status as an angel investor to another innovative startup which aligns with both her mission to support fledgling businesses and her passion for emerging technologies. A qualified engineer, in 2021, Ryta obtained an MBA degree with a strong emphasis on Artificial Intelligence (AI). In recent months, she has been looking for opportunities to become an angel investor for fledging AI, cybersecurity, and fintech businesses operating online. Earlier this year she was approached by Manerai, a California-based VR studio specializing in game development. The business was founded by a 27-year-old game designer with almost a decade of experience in the industry. His love of VR and game development has led to the creation of Wadality, a unique VR movement system that allows players to freely explore game levels in any direction. Manerai’s most recently released game organically gained more than 200,000 players in VR and received a 4.9 out of 5 review from players around the world, bringing it to the attention of partners at Meta and a request to take the game into the lucrative Chinese market. Manerai’s latest project is a social role-play collaboration game called GNOMES. Described as ‘the ultimate VR role-playing game’, it promises immersive multiplayer gameplay that encourages teamwork and problem-solving.  To help the firm reach the next level of development, Ryta has invested 300K USD. Commenting on the investment, Ryta said: “As an angel investor, I’m thrilled to support this innovative VR gaming venture that is redefining the boundaries of immersive entertainment. Manerai is at the forefront of VR gaming, and I am beyond excited to help them reach their next level of growth. Virtual reality has the power to transform how we experience games, and this team is at the forefront of that evolution. I believe their creativity, vision, and technical expertise will shape the future of gaming, and I’m excited to be part of their journey as they push the limits of what’s possible." As of 2023, there are 65.9 million VR users in the U.S., with an estimated 171 million VR users worldwide. ManerAI aims to share skills and useful information with others operating in the VR gaming space and, as such, has several open-source libraries. Manerai added: “Our overall mission is not just to create a game, but a virtual community where players themselves can self-organize, create content, tasks, missions and goals. Our unique vision for VR games is to focus on comfort and fun, and to make all in-game mechanics behave as expected. We have a clear direction and know what we need to do to maximize the strength of the game organically, helped by the fact we are now actively accompanied by our advisors at New Folder Games, market leaders in VR games. We are incredibly grateful to Ryta for her interest and investment in the business; it will be crucial as we continue to expand our team, test new hypotheses and products, and increase player numbers.” The announcement follows Ryta’s investment in Teramot earlier this year. Teramot is a plug-and-play Data Engineering and Data Analytics tool that allows businesses to organize and take advantage of their information without a dedicated team in a week.

Since the beginning, Obyte was designed to become fully decentralized, much more decentralized than other networks. The Order Providers (OPs, previously witnesses) exist exactly for this purpose, and everyone can become one —if they meet the criteria. In the Obyte network, which uses a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG), transactions are directly connected without the need for blocks, miners, or block producers —middlemen, in other words. Instead, users add new transactions that link to previous ones, creating the DAG structure by themselves. Only to ensure transactions are ordered in some way and prevent double-spending, Obyte relies on Order Providers. These are typically respected individuals or organizations that add their own transactions, acting as reference points for ordering the rest of the chain. While they receive a portion of transaction fees, their primary motivation is the well-being of the community because they often have skin in the game. To become an OP node, here’s what you’ll need to do: Becoming an Order Provider: Important Requirements Order Providers don’t have a lot of power over the network, unlike miners or “validators”. They can’t double-spend, steal funds, or censor transactions. However, this is still an important role, because without their guiding transactions, the chain would be paralyzed (at least until they’re replaced). Therefore, some requirements are in order. The Obyte network has space for 12 OPs, and all of them should be approved by a majority vote of the community. Currently, there are seven Order Provider nodes controlled by independent parties, and five still controlled by the founder (Tony Churyumoff), in the absence of adequate candidates. Of course, the more independent parties in the game, the more decentralized Obyte would be. Requirements to become an OP in Obyte include: Not anonymous: have a publicly known real name and/or company.


To be well-known and trusted in the community.


Having a lot to lose (material and/or nonmaterial) in case of misbehavior. The loss is the business (outside Obyte) and/or reputation.


Have enough technical expertise and adequate hardware to ensure uninterrupted operation 24/7 and security of their private keys (they must not be stolen and used to post on their behalf).


Adapt their own OP list when the community wants to change it in some way and the new candidate satisfies the above rules. That includes removing themselves from the list. The above is what is expected from the candidates, it’s not strictly requirements. Anyone who fails some of these requirements can still be voted in by the community —if the community wants so. What to do next? If you think that you meet the requirements, the first step would likely be downloading and configuring an Order Provider node to your own device from GitHub. It’s necessary to install Node.js, clone the repository, and, preferably, use Tor to keep your IP address unknown to potential attackers. This is only a start, though. You must consider that this node will only spend GBYTE in transaction fees (very small amounts) in the beginning, without anything in return at first. You’ll need to share your candidacy with the community through the official Obyte channels and accounts in social media (Discord, Telegram, Reddit, Twitter, etc.), and make sure to state who you are and why you want to become an Order Provider. Previous candidates have shared a complete article with a FAQ about this topic on Medium, including their OP node address. Next, a poll can be conducted via the Obyte wallet [Chat – Bot Store – Poll Bot] for anyone to vote on your candidacy. If the majority approves, then you can become an official OP, available to pick by wallet users. That’s another important thing to consider: users can select and change their own OP list from the same wallet. If they don’t want to list your node to guide their transactions, they won’t. And that’s it! Once the community has accepted you, be sure to keep your node running 24/7 and your private keys in a safe place. Some rewarding GBYTEs will come to your wallet for your services after enough guiding transactions.

The Internet is becoming a breeding ground for spam. Not the tinned variety—no, we’re talking about the relentless, soul-crushing onslaught of automated form spam that has made running a website feel like an endless game of whack-a-mole with bots Every time you think you've dealt with it, a new flood arrives, turning your contact forms, comment sections, and customer feedback pages into the equivalent of a dumpster fire. And where are the hosting providers in all of this chaos? Sitting on the sidelines, waiting for you to report the damage. Why are the companies we entrust with our websites seemingly more reactive than proactive when it comes to combating the spam plague? According to CleanTalk, a popular and highly effective WordPress plugin provider, their service now protects most web forms from unwanted spam and it does amazing job mind you, However, in an alarming twist, the evolution of sneaky spam bots is beginning to outwit these protections, slipping past even the most advanced filters. The Proactive Approach: Still a Fantasy Let’s be real. Hosting providers have the resources. They have the infrastructure. They can see the patterns. But instead of stopping spam attacks before they cripple your site, they wait—oh, they wait until it’s far too late, and your inbox is flooded with a thousand messages about miracle weight loss pills, sketchy loan offers, and suspicious ‘business opportunities.’ Then, and only then, do they swoop in, offering "support" (if you can even call it that). It begs the question: If they know spam bots are such a rampant issue, why aren’t they doing more? It’s like having a security guard at the front door of a building, but instead of stopping intruders, they wait until the intruder has raided the entire place before calling for backup. Where's the sense in that? They Have the Tools, But They're Not Using Them We’ve all heard the excuse, "Oh, but you can install third-party plugins." Yeah, no thanks. Why should customers be forced to play tech support for their own websites when the people hosting them should already be deploying the latest anti-spam and anti-malware systems? We’re not asking for a miracle, just for you to use the tools you’ve got in a way that makes sense! Cloudflare’s out there doing it, why can’t they? Hosting providers are quick to offer flashy deals—“99% uptime!” and “24/7 customer support!”—but where’s the promise of “We’ll proactively block malicious bots and won’t allow our servers to be used in attacks on other websites. Enough is Enough It’s 2024, and automated form spam is still an unresolved problem because hosting providers are playing a dangerous game of catch-up. They prefer to wait until the bot tsunami hits, responding only when the damage has been done. The result? Countless hours wasted cleaning up spam, frustrated business owners, and customer trust eroded by the lack of effective spam protection. The Internet is becoming a breeding ground for spam.

**DELAWARE, United States, August 16th, 2024/Chainwire/--**Led by Finality Capital and Paper Ventures, with participation from Arrington Capital, Draper Dragon, Lightshift, and others. Holonym Foundation, Holonym Foundation, an organization building the next generation of digital identity security for the decentralized web, is announcing the completion of a successful $5.5 million seed funding round. The funding round was led by Finality Capital and Paper Ventures, with significant participation from Draper Dragon, Arrington Capital, Lightshift, Zero Knowledge Ventures, Zero DAO, and other prominent funds. Shady El Damaty, Co-Founder of Holonym, said: "We’re building core person-first principles into the technology we ship out to the world. Our goal is to build a global open-source layer that upgrades the abilities of each citizen with basic access to a digital identity using cryptography to prove their personhood." “We can’t have self-sovereign control of our monetary assets without self-sovereign identity. The Holonym foundation is building critical middleware and applications that will make Web3 users the envy of Web2 users by giving them the power to own, govern, and selectively share their data with strong privacy and security guarantees. Holonym will be part of the solution to usher in the next trillion dollars of assets into blockchain.’’, said Kamal Mokeddem, GP of Finality Capital. Cryptographic keys, or private keys, run the web and secure every digital interaction on the internet. But what if private keys could be built differently and in a more sophisticated way? Human Keys completely change how private keys are derived. Instead of creating private keys from random phrases, Human Keys make humans into keys. This new framing shifts ownership of digital assets from the holder of a random seed, to the human that can uniquely prove their biometrics. Human Keys make the ownership layers of the internet built on top more consumer-friendly, decentralized, and secure. Human Keys encompass three protocols built by the Holonym Foundation, all having security and robust data privacy systems as core principles: Mishti Network, a breakthrough threshold entropy network that computes an Oblivious Pseudorandom Function (OPRF) on biometric data.
This allows humans to derive random secure keys that are hard to steal, and it unlocks private homomorphic computation on encrypted data, allowing untrusted third-parties to authenticate users without ever seeing the underlying data.
This is an Actively Validated Service (AVS) on Eigenlayer with crypto economic mechanisms that leverage the economic security of the Ethereum network.
Zeronym, a zero knowledge identity protocol, leverages Human Keys to allow anyone in the world to secretly prove facts about their identity.
Over 125,000 pseudonymous Zeronym users around the world have already unlocked these rights, proving their unique personhood, residency, and other attributes to curate a rich digital reputation that they alone own and control.
Silk, a simple and elegant wallet user interface for interacting with crypto protocols.
Human Keys are made usable in the real world by the everyday internet user with Silk.
Silk provides advanced security tools to protect users from hackers, scams, and malware on the decentralized web. Nanak Nihal Singh Khalsa, Co-Founder of Holonym said: ’’Humanity is not just biometrics, e.g. your face. It is about what you have, what you know and what you are: your property, your memory, and your body. On the current centralized web, we are giving free ownership to our data. Web3 must be the space where we provide robust data ownership and secure sharing of personhood, so that nobody can own your data except you.’’ By granting every human in the world a secure key that only they can hold and control, the Holonym Foundation moves towards global digital inclusion, precisely at a time when advancements in artificial intelligence are poised to leave so many behind. Shady El Damaty, co-founder of Holonym, says this is just the start for the Holonym Foundation. “Human Keys will redefine how citizens interact with the internet by limiting the overreach of power and hardening individual rights with resilient decentralized protocols built on Zeronym and Mishti Network.” Holonym Foundation is focused on applied cryptography innovation that delivers solutions for real-world problems. About Holonym Foundation The Holonym Foundation’s mission is the proliferation of Human Keys to make security and privacy more usable in zero trust environments. Holonym Foundation has developed infrastructure to allow anyone, anywhere, to create Human Keys with Mishti Network, easily use them with Silk and privately prove facts about their identity with Zeronym. Holonym Foundation Products Mishti Network. A threshold network for zero trust Human Key derivation. Create high entropy Human Keys from private biometrics, passwords, security questions, or other human-memorable data. Mishti also powers Zeronym’s programmable privacy for on-chain private banking, payments, and other real world regulated industries. Silk The human-friendly wallet for instant onboarding. Use Human Keys with zero trust protocols to save, send payments, access global internet finance protocols and manage your private data. Silk is a protected self-custody wallet that can be recovered without trusted guardians. Zeronym Proof of personhood and private identity. Fast client-side privacy for identity verification, supporting digital credentials from 180 countries. Use Human Keys to prove any fact privately without revealing any information in zero knowledge. Business can utilize Zeronym for privacy-preserving KYC/AML with programmable privacy for on-going monitoring.

**DUBAI, UAE, July 15th, 2024/CyberNewsWire/--**On May 31, 2024, as a result of the hacking 4502.9 BTC(worth approximately $308M)were stolen from the Japanese exchange Bitcoin.DMM.com. The cybersecurity agency Match Systems conducted the current situation of the case. Japanese cryptocurrency exchange DMM Bitcoin was recently hacked, resulting in the theft of over $300 million dollars in Bitcoins. The hackers were able to access a private key, which allowed them to transfer 4,502.9 bitcoins from the exchange's main wallet. The incident occurred on May 30, 2024, and DMM Bitcoin announced the hack the following day. The reasons for the hack of the exchange are still unclear. The attack could have occurred as a result of compromised private keys. The keys of a hot wallet connected to the Internet could have been compromised either through an internal threat or an external hack, which could have allowed hackers to initiate a transfer of funds. Whether social engineering techniques or malware were used to get exchange employees to sign a transaction authorizing the transfer of funds to their wallets, we have yet to learn. An insider attack scenario cannot be ruled out, in which someone with legitimate access to the system contributed to the hack by giving the hackers the necessary data or initiating the attack. The investigation revealed that the hackers used cryptocurrency mixer JoinMarket to launder the stolen funds. More than 2,000 BTC was sent to addresses associated with JoinMarket, while the remaining 2,500 BTC remained at the hackers' original addresses. The Match Systems team was able to identify the first large withdrawal from the mixer in the amount of 223.38 BTC, as well as more than 50 withdrawals over 10 BTC that may be relevant to this case. The full cycle of money laundering can take months to a year, and Match Systems will continue to monitor the movement of stolen funds, as well as looking into the cause of the attack. About Match Systems Match Systems, is a leading company specializing in AML services, blockchain investigations, and implementation of compliance procedures for cryptocurrency projects around the world. By leveraging advanced technology and expertise in financial crime detection, the company is poised to help organizations to navigate the complex regulatory landscape as well as minimize the risks associated with digital currencies.

Match Systems' CEO Andrei Kutin Provides Insight On DMM Bitcoin Breach

It's baffling to see so many Australians clinging to Telstra, the giant of the NBN internet scene, despite its glaring shortcomings. With a staggering 40.4% market share, Telstra is undeniably the most popular NBN provider. Yet, when it comes to value, it’s falling woefully short. According to Tom's Guide, leaving Telstra could save you AU$3,660 over five years if you’re on an NBN 1000 plan (1Gbps). Let that sink in. For the same price of around AU$100 per month, consumers can access fast internet with speeds reaching up to 1000Mbps through a slew of emerging ISPs. Meanwhile, Telstra is content to cap its offering at a meager 50Mbps near the price point. So why the loyalty? Is it brand recognition? A misplaced sense of reliability? The disparity in value raises important questions: Is it time for Australians to break free from traditional providers? Are we settling for less due to comfort and familiarity? There’s a world of better options out there, and it's time for Australians to start exploring them. Australia deserves better than the status quo. Don't let loyalty blind you to better value. It’s time to demand more from your internet provider and make the switch to services that truly deliver on price vs speed and performance. Telstra may be a household name, but let’s face it: just because they’ve been around the block doesn’t mean they’re the best option. Plus, the sheer innovation of these newer players is refreshing. Many of them are not just competing on price; they're also investing in infrastructure and technology that promise a better future for all Australians. In the end, this isn’t just about saving a few bucks. It’s about voting with your wallet and demanding better service from the companies we choose to support. The NBN landscape in Australia is changing, and it’s time for consumers to wake up and embrace the options available. It’s about time we ditch the complacency and put our money where the value is. We need to address a glaring issue that’s been festering in the Australian market: too many people are lazily sticking with overpriced, household-name internet service providers without doing their homework! Seriously, are we really okay with this level of complacency when it comes to something as vital as our internet service? Let’s face it: just because a brand has been around forever doesn’t mean it’s the best option. People are stuck in a cycle of brand loyalty, clinging to these giant names while conveniently ignoring the fantastic alternatives out there. It’s frustrating! There are newer ISPs that offer better speeds, superior customer service, and, most importantly, more competitive pricing. But instead of exploring these options, many Australians choose to overpay for mediocrity. Research doesn’t take long, and there’s a wealth of information available at our fingertips. Compare plans, read reviews, and understand what other customers are saying. It’s not hard to understand that better deals can be found elsewhere. Seriously, Australia, how much longer are we going to let ourselves be duped by flashy ads and brand names? It’s beyond frustrating to watch so many people stick with overpriced internet service providers simply because they recognize the name. This isn't just about loyalty; it's about being smart with your money and your internet experience. Compare the prices. Old Vs New ISP Players. Telstra NBN 50mbps – $105 per month
Superloop NBN 1000mbps -$99 for 6 months then $109 ongoing. per month The benefits of switching to more affordable and faster ISP Switching to a more affordable and faster ISP can really transform your internet experience for the better. Here’s why it’s worth considering: Save Money
Let’s face it—who doesn’t love saving a few bucks? Many budget-friendly ISPs offer competitive prices that can help you cut down on your monthly bills, putting extra cash back in your pocket.


Enjoy Faster Speeds
With newer ISPs, you often get faster internet speeds that can make a big difference. Whether you’re streaming your favorite shows, gaming online, or working from home, having that speed means less buffering and smoother experiences overall.

Better Customer Support
Switching to a smaller or newer provider often means better customer service. These companies typically focus on keeping their customers happy, so you can expect quicker response times and more personalized support when you need help.


Flexible Plans to Fit Your Needs
Not everyone uses the internet the same way. Affordable ISPs often offer a range of plans that cater to different needs—whether you’re a casual browser or a heavy downloader—allowing you to choose what works best for you.


No Hidden Fees
One of the biggest annoyances with big-name providers can be hidden fees that pop up out of nowhere. Many newer ISPs are more transparent about their pricing, making it easier to understand what you’re paying for each month.


Reliable Service
With the right ISP, you can expect fewer outages and a more stable connection. Many newer providers are committed to maintaining their networks, which means you can enjoy uninterrupted service.


Access to the Latest Technology
Affordable ISPs often use the latest technology to deliver high-speed internet. This means you can benefit from fiber-optic connections and other advancements that enhance your online experience.


Support Local Innovation
By choosing a smaller or newer ISP, you’re often supporting local businesses that are passionate about improving internet access and competition. This helps foster a more dynamic market and encourages innovation. I personally challenge Australians to do better. It’s time to stop falling for the same old trap of brand loyalty without question. Take the plunge, do your research, and make informed choices about your internet provider. Your wallet—and your online experience—will thank you.

These 6 studies demonstrate the potential benefits and strategies for utilizing AI capabilities in bibliometrics. They highlight how AI can improve the quality, accessibility, and data collection processes in bibliometrics analyses (Table 3), among the main outcome points. It has been shown that AI algorithms can automatically collect bibliographic data from various sources, such as online databases, academic libraries, and digital repositories [21, 49]. This saves time and effort for researchers involved in data collection, allowing them to focus on other aspects of bibliometric analysis. Thought-provokingly, AI can analyze citation networks to identify influential papers, authors, and journals [28, 31], - as already mentioned in the section “AI and Scientometrics”. By examining citation patterns and relationships, AI algorithms can help researchers understand the impact and visibility of research outputs, as well as identify key research trends and collaborations. Interestingly, AI techniques can be employed to disambiguate authors with similar names, a common issue in bibliometrics [47, 53]. By analyzing author affiliations, publication history, and co-authorship networks, in order to ensure the accuracy of bibliometric analyses, AI algorithms can effectively identify authors with similar names and distinguish them from one another. As also already mentioned in the section “AI and Scientometrics”, through AI one can analyze co-authorship networks to identify collaborations and research networks [28, 30]. By examining co-authorship patterns and relationships, AI algorithms can help researchers understand the dynamics and structure of collaborations, as well as identify influential researchers and research teams. This can also be an advantage at funding time. Easily, AI can analyze bibliometric indicators, such as citation counts and h-index, to assess the impact and visibility of individual researchers, research groups, and institutions [21, 48, 52]. In so doing, AI algorithms can provide insights into research productivity, citation patterns, and research impact over time, assisting researchers and institutions in assessing research fame or performance. Last but not least, AI techniques, including natural language processing, can be utilized to analyze the textual content of research publications [50, 51]. In this manner, keywords, topics, and sentiments can be extracted from the literature, - also mentioning plagiarism control [54, 55], thereby facilitating comprehensive analysis and understanding of research findings [56].

These 6 considerations point to the potential benefits and suggest focused strategies for utilizing AI capabilities in webometrics. The resulting findings highlight how AI can improve the quality, accessibility, and data collection processes in webometrics analyses, as outlined in Table 2. Indeed, algorithms based on artificial intelligence can automatically crawl and collect data from websites, including institutional websites, scientific research portals, and online repositories [39, 42]. This enables researchers to gather large amounts of web-based information for analysis, including publication data, author profiles, and citation patterns. In order to understand the relationship between publications, websites, and authors, artificial intelligence approaches can analyze hyperlink structures and web link patterns [9, 43]. By analyzing the link structure, AI algorithms can identify influential websites and authors, as well as detect communities, collaborations, and research networks within the web-based scientific ecosystem [17]. AI techniques, such as natural language processing and machine learning, can be employed to analyze the content of webpages and scientific publications available online [40, 41]. This enables researchers to extract key information, such as keywords, topics, and sentiments, from web-based documents, facilitating comprehensive analysis and understanding of research outputs. AI can analyze social media platforms, such as Twitter, to understand the online discussions, trends, and interactions related to scientific research [36, 38, 44]. By analyzing hashtags, mentions, and user behavior, AI algorithms can identify influential research topics, key opinion leaders, and potential collaborations within the online scientific community, as demonstrated in such previous works. AI can assess the impact and visibility of scientific research on the web [37, 46]. Indeed, by analyzing web traffic, page views, and social media metrics, AI algorithms can provide insights into the online visibility, dissemination, and engagement of scientific publications, authors, and research institutions. “Finally”, AI-powered recommender systems can assist researchers in discovering relevant scientific websites, online resources, and research collaborations [35, 45]. These papers, based on user preferences, reading behavior, and web usage data, show that personalized recommendations can be generated using AI algorithms, making it easier for researchers to explore the web-based scientific landscape and discover new opportunities for further research.
