Market
Roger Ver, the CEO of Bitcoin.com, and the creator of Bitcoin Cash, pinpointed three main problems of the fifth-largest digital asset. In a keynote speech devoted to the third Bitcoin Cash anniversary keynote, Ver said:
So the main things that I see as problems on the Bitcoin Cash network: let's get rid of the 50 unconfirmed transaction chain limit, let's make the unconfirmed transactions as irreversible as we possibly can through whatever consensus method is the most useful for that.
He also called for more collaboration within the community, emphasized the importance of both business and software developers.
Industry
The team of EtherChain informed the community about the potential 51% attack on Ethereum Classic blockchain and recommended cryptocurrency exchanges to stop accepting deposits and process transfers while they work out what was going on.
An Austrian blockchain company posted on Twitter:
Today the #ETC chain experienced a chain reorg of 3693 blocks at block 10904146. This caused all state pruned nodes to stop syncing. It is likely caused by a 51% attack and all exchanges are advised to halt deposits & withdrawals immediately and investigate all recent tx.
Regulation
The Northern California District Court dismissed claims against Ripple Labs and XRP made by tow disappointed investors. They said that “Ripple should have made a formal application to the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) for their cryptocurrency XRP to become a security.” However, the court came to the conclusion that the plaintiff failed to provide the necessary evidence to support their claims.
The court found that the lead plaintiff failed to provide the necessary evidence in the courtroom to support multiple claims regarding XRP’s non-security status, Brad Garlinghouse’s personal holdings and monetary intentions, XRP’s sale strategy, as well as the company’s software products, the verdict says, cited by Law360.
