THE RISKY POLITICS OF VIRTUAL CURRENCIES

THE RISKY POLITICS OF VIRTUAL CURRENCIES The much talk about our world today is about cryptocurrency in particular Bitcoin and Ethereum.  Only few days ago, smart contract coding company Parity has issued a security alert, warning of a vulnerability in version 1.5 or later of its wallet software. They reported 150,000 ethers, worth $30 million, have been stolen, data confirmed by Etherscan.io. As reported by the startup, the issue is the result of a bug in a specific multi-signature contract known as wallet.sol. Data suggests the issue was mitigated, however, as 377,000 ethers that were potentially vulnerable to the issue were recovered by white hat hackers. But here's the thing, I actually should and should not be disturbed with all this stories, and I don't think you should either. My thinking is that there’s a good thing about VCs in the market. It's not that I don't see the problems. I read the same headlines and my conclusion that so many people draw ...

Connects with kids first  -For all students to excel, teachers must learn about them and connect with each child.  This is not just about finding out how they learn, but it is finding out who they are.  It is essential that we get to know our students, learn their passions, and help them find out how we can engage them in their own learning.  If you are not able to do this as a teacher, the following characteristics will be moot, 2. Teaches kids first and curriculum second – Teachers must ensure that they differentiate learning and work to meet the needs of each student and understand how they each learn.  I believe that students have different learning styles and if we can best figure out how to help them meet their own needs, students will excel in the subject areas we t...

THE DARK WEB

THE DARK WEB Only few days ago, smart contract coding company Parity has issued a security alert, warning of a vulnerability in version 1.5 or later of its wallet software. So far, 150,000 ethers, worth $30 million, have been reported by the company as stolen, data confirmed by Etherscan.io. As reported by the startup, the issue is the result of a bug in a specific multi-signature contract known as wallet.sol. Data suggests the issue was mitigated, however, as 377,000 ethers that were potentially vulnerable to the issue were recovered by white hat hackers. Parity ranked the severity of the bug as "critical" in its public remarks, urging "any user with funds in a multi-sig wallet" move their funds to a secure address. According to Parity founder and CTO Gavin Wood, at least three ether addresses have been compromised as a result of the bug. We hear about stories as above almost often now. We or companies are not willing to own up to own lackluster secu...
