The invested wealth was wiped from the market capitalization as projects failed to deliver anything beyond their whitepaper. Because of these scams and high-risk ventures, legitimate projects have had to adjust from an ICO model and replace it with STOs and eventually IEOs. Which leads us to DAICO. What is a DAICO?…

Telegram, the Dubai-based messaging app company, raised a record-setting $1.7 billion from investors, the largest ICO after adding $850 million in February.

What is Public Key Cryptography?

There are several techniques of encryption, and public-key cryptography or asymmetric cryptography, uses two mathematically related, but not identical keys – a public key and a private key.

What differentiates this encryption mechanism from others is that it is computationally not feasible to derive the private key based on the public key. Public keys are shared freely and this allows users an easy and convenient…
