One of the latest trends for cryptocurrency and blockchain developers is making projects aimed at so-called developing countries. Limited access to the traditional banking system makes these markets favourable for the further development of various blockchain projects, which could improve conditions of life for many people there.

A recent update of Merriam-Webster's "Official Scrabble Players Dictionary" includes 300 new words and now contains words like "emoji", "facepalm" and finally adds a widely used two-letter word that Scrabble fans have been waiting to use for decades: "OK".

This update shows that Scrabble is evolving alongside the English language. It also shows that cryptocurrencies are steadily becoming an important part of common people’s life as a word "bitcoin" is now also included in a dictionary of the worldwide popular game with a huge fan base, which gatherers tournaments all over the world.

Obviously, the modernization of Scrabble’s lexicon couldn’t happen without including the "Bitcoin" word. "Blockchain" and "cryptocurrency" are not the words for the future anymore as soon as cryptocurrencies increasingly affect the lives of ordinary people, being an integral part of the modern financial sector, IT and science.

Cryptocurrencies, as we all know, are not secured with some stable assets, however, they’ve got a value and an exchange rate against the U.S. Dollar, which is accepted as a worldwide common currency. That makes them volatile and inconvenient for daily transactions. The adoption of stablecoins comes up as a necessity as the decentralized economy becomes mainstream.

Up to 100% higher hashrate for CryptoNight-based coins (XMO, BCN, FCN) mining on legacy hardware compared to our previous version.
We are pleased to invite you to test the Beta-version of MinerGate’s updated mining engine and enjoy the new mining experience with higher performance. This testing period is also an opportunity for you to contribute to the stability of MinerGate xFast and speed up the further developments.

Dear miners,

We are glad to inform you, that recent issues with Bytecoin withdrawals were finally solved. Starting from now you can transfer all your BCN funds to the Freewallet and operate them off-chain as any other supported cryptocurrency.

The Bitfury Group , the largest full-service blockchain technology company, announced the start of production of the new Bitcoin mining ASIC chips. Called “Bitfury Clarke”, this 14nm chip is fully customized for SHA256 mining. Thanks to its specific architecture, this new ASIC chip is meant to provide both higher performance and energy efficiency. It can execute a hashrate up to 120 GH/s with just 55 mJ/GH efficiency rate.

Aside from selling Bitfury Clarke chipsets, Bitfury is integrating Bitfury Clarke into its other industry-leading bitcoin mining hardware, including its mining servers and BlockBoxes. Clarke will also be used in bitcoin-mining facilities in Canada, Norway, Iceland and the Republic of Georgia.

Bitfury Clarke is the sixth generation of Bitcoin mining hardware, provided by the Bitfury Group. With their previous hardware and software products, Bitfury Group assumed a position of the world largest Bitcoin mining company.

“Bitfury is looking at all factors, including silicon packaging, chip efficiency, optimal power distribution, cooling construction when designing the mining hardware,” said Valery Vavilov, CEO of Bitfury.

A huge campaign has been launched by an avid user at Change.org - Mark E., who stands for accepting the Dogecoin as a payment method by the online retail giant - Amazon.com.

The campaign launched a few weeks ago now got more than 15,000 signatures. Its key point is that by rejecting cryptocurrencies as a payment method Amazon is cutting off from their service many people who have no access to the traditional banking system (by various researches, it's almost 40% of the world population). Mark E. points out that there are more than 50 small businesses and charity organizations already accepting Doge as a payment method.

"Amazon.com being a leader in innovation should accept Dogecoin, as a form of payment. Dogecoin is fast, cheap, and stable. It is stable in value, has the lowest transaction fee of other major coins, has a huge supply of coins and has a very large, active community with on-going development. It's time for Amazon.com to be one of the first major companies to see the power of Dogecoin and to accept it as a payment method.", - the petition on the Change.org states.

Dogecoin is the 20th largest cryptocurrency with an overall market capitalization of $744 million and $103 million daily trading volume. For the last few days price of Doge is showing stable growth, backed with news about Dogethereum release - smart contract connecting Dogecoin and Ethereum networks. At press time, 1 DOGE equals to $0.006410 USD.

You may have seen ZCash, known to miners and exchanges as ZEC, while looking through the list of mineable coins on MinerGate. So what is ZCash and why should you mine it?
Like Bitcoin, ZCash is a decentralized cryptocurrency without a central authority controlling the flow of coins. ZCash is not controlled by a central bank or government. Instead, the blockchain is maintained by miners. These miners earn ZCash coins in return for the use of their resources like electricity and computing power.

Dear miners,
We’re glad to inform you that MinerGate multicurrency mining pool is now compatible with NiceHash. Through NiceHash Miner GUI software, users can sell the computing power of their CPUs, GPUs, ASICs and rig farms, to buyers who use it to mine with larger pools.

To benefit from this feature, MinerGate users simply need to pass the NiceHash registration, deposit the desired amount of BTC, select MinerGate as the hash power’s destination, set the bid or fixed price for mining, and place a new order.

With NiceHash now you can buy hashing power of various ASIC-owners and connect it to MinerGate’s pools for different cryptos. NiceHash is compatible with all existing MinerGate pools for each protocol: Scrypt (LTC), DaggerHashimoto (ETH, ETC), EquiHash (ZEC, BTG), CryptoNightV7 (XMR, XDN) and CryptoNight (BCN, XMO, FCN).

This is a smooth and simple way for new miners to get into the game. We’re continuously developing our services to fit the latest technology world trends and provide you with the best crypto-mining solutions.

MinerGate strongly believes in legitimate mining and its mass adoption. We have always been operating in compliance with all rules and policies. Adhering to the requirements of app stores on the market is essential in developing of the mining industry forward.

After Google Play Store Developer policy has been updated, Google Play blocked mining applications, but only those that “remotely manage the mining of cryptocurrency” or mine outside the user’s device. With that in mind, MinerGate provided a timely update to the mobile application on 21 August so the proper consensus between the project and the marketplace would be sustained. MinerGate app with its 1m+ downloads has been removed from the Store on August 29th regardless of the efforts put in place. And we are still hoping to resolve the situation in the nearest future.

MinerGate has always sought to protect the interests of its users, and we are working on a solution to maintain our service continuously.
