What is a DAICO?

Traditionally cryptocurrencies have raised funds through the ICO model, but thanks to a lot of scams and lost confidence in that form of crowdfunding, ICOs have become virtually obsolete. In fact, there have been several ICO scams; over 80% of the projects that never even built an MVP. 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. Usually, algorithms rely on a key to encrypt or decrypt and in public-key cryptography, each key performs a unique function. The public key is used to encrypt and the private key is used to decrypt. 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…

Although the holidays are now over, the Wild West Crypto Show’s episode 89 definitely had a holiday flair as the popular broadcast got underway against the spectacular yuletide backdrop of the snow-covered Grand Tetons in Wyoming.

From a high of $7,540.87 on December 6, the cryptocurrency fell in one day to $6,615.80 before regaining a perch in the seven-thousands, just a day later,…
