When it comes to crypto currencies probably think most of us directly Bitcoins - m ittlerweile thinks a non small percentage probably of ether, the cash behind the Ethereum - block chain . No wonder, Bitcoin is also becoming more and more important in the real economy, as well as the performance of Bitcoin and Ether.

While Bitcoin was still trading at 400 US dollars at the beginning of the current year , the high of mid-June stood at nearly 3,000 US dollars . At Ether , the increase was even more spectacular: from eight dollars at the beginning of the year it went to nearly 415 US dollars. But then there was a cooling down, only a few days ago the digital currencies came back impressively.
XPR tokens are up 4,000 percent against US dollars in the first half of the year

But there is another crypt diet which has grown even more in the first half of 2017 - about 4,000 percent. The speech is from Ripple and the associated currency XPR. In the past few weeks, XPR has risen behind Bitcoin and Ether through the massive price increase to number three of the digital cash after market capitalization.

From January to April almost nothing happened to the price. But then the currency suddenly grew massively. The reason: 25 new stock exchanges have listed the XRP tokens since the second quarter, resulting in transactions worth 30 million US dollars.

More trading possibilities and thus a higher notoriety thus themselves caused itself and ensured the strong increase. At the start of the year an XRP cost $ 0.006523. In high, mid-May, it was 0.405655 US dollars. At the time, the crypto had been up over 6,000 per cent since the beginning of the year.
Differences from XPR to Bitcoin

XRP differs somewhat from Bitcoin and Ether, because this digital currency does not want to withdraw completely from ordinary banks, but much more cooperates with them. Banks are to use Ripple's Blockchain technology to reduce their costs. Another difference: While Bitcoins are still being scanned from data centers, all XRP tokens are already created.

"We are concentrating on international payments," said Miguel Vias, head of XRP markets at Ripple. We are probably the only digital currency with a real application. "Nevertheless, he sees a positive future for Ripple and XRP as well as for his competitors.

"We see that digital currencies are accepted and accepted by established banks. The Bank of England cooperates with us and the Bank of Japan also recognizes digital currencies as a legal payment - these developments show that we are also on the right track and that interest in these technologies will continue to grow, "Vias said.

WTF is bitcoin cash and is it worth anything?

Early yesterday morning bitcoin’s blockchain forked — meaning a separate cryptocurrency was created called bitcoin cash . The way a fork works is instead of creating a totally new cryptocurrency (and blockchain) starting at block 0, a fork just creates a duplicate version that shares the same history. So all past transactions on bitcoin cash’s new blockchain are identical to bitcoin core’s blockchain, with future transactions and balances being totally independent from each other. For practical matters, all this really means is that everyone who owned bitcoin before the fork now has an identical amount of bitcoin cash that is recorded in bitcoin cash’s forked blockchain. But it’s not exactly this easy. If you control your own private keys, or hold your bitcoin in an exchange that said it would credit users’ balances with bitcoin cash, you’re fine and can access your newfound cryptocurrency right now. If you held your bitcoin with a provider like Coinbase, which said before the fork t...

Walmart expands its grocery delivery business, powered by Uber

Walmart is expanding a test of its grocery delivery service, powered by Uber, the company announced this week. The retailer is now offering grocery delivery in two new markets — Dallas and Orlando — which join Tampa and Phoenix as locations where consumers can shop online for grocery items, then opt to have them come to their home for an additional $9.95 fee. Grocery delivery has been something Walmart has experimented with for years, starting with tests in Denver and San Jose of grocery delivery using its own service and trucks. The tests involving Uber are newer, however. In June, 2016, Walmart began a trial in Phoenix, which expanded to Tampa this March. In those locations, Walmart offers grocery delivery at five local stores per market. This week’s Dallas test is larger, with 8 stores participating. In Orlando, there are four stores involved. The grocery delivery service is available via the same online grocery shopping website where customers can place their pick-up orders — a s...

OpenAI bot remains undefeated against world’s greatest Dota 2 players

Last night, OpenAI’s Dota 2 bot beat the world’s most celebrated professional players in one-on-one battles, showing just how advanced these machine learning systems are getting. The bot beat Danil “Dendi” Ishutin rather easily at The International, one of the biggest eSports events in the world, and remains undefeated against the world’s top Dota 2 players. Elon Musk’s OpenAI trained the bot by simply copying the AI and letting the two play each other for weeks on end. “We’ve coached it to learn just from playing against itself,” said OpenAI researcher Jakub Pachoki . “So we didn’t hard-code in any strategy, we didn’t have it learn from human experts, just from the very beginning, it just keeps playing against a copy of itself. It starts from complete randomness and then it makes very small improvements, and eventually it’s just pro level.” To be clear, a 1v1 battle in Dota 2 is far less complex than an actual professional battle, which includes two teams of five players completing...
