Gemini er blant flere givere til Brink, en krypto-ideell organisasjon som gir tilskudd og støtte til Bitcoin Core-bidragsytere.

Kort fortalt

• Crypto exchange Gemini finansierer litt Bitcoin-utvikling.
• Det er gitt $ 150.000 i Bitcoin til en ideell Bitcoin-utvikling.
• Den har gitt ytterligere $ 50.000 i Bitcoin til Human Rights Foundation.

Gemini, cryptocurrency exchange imperium drevet av Cameron og Tyler Winklevoss, kunngjorde i dag lanseringen av et $ 200.000 Bitcoin utviklingsfond.

Kalt Gemini Opportunity Fund, vil $ 150.000 av pengene, i Bitcoin selvfølgelig, gå rett til Brink, et nonprofit fellesskapsprogram i London for å sponse Bitcoin-utviklere.

Utviklerne vil samarbeide med John Newbery, Brinks medstifter og administrerende direktør, og en Bitcoin Core-Immediate Edge. Mike Schmidt, en annen Bitcoin-kjerne-bidragsyter. Square, Human Rights Foundation og Kraken er blant andre givere. Kraken donerte også $ 150.000.

Så langt er den eneste stipendiaten Gloria Zhao, en Bitcoin Core-bidragsyter fersk fra University of California, Berkeley, hvor hun satt som president for sin blockchain-klubb.

Zhao vil jobbe med noe som heter „Package Mempool Accept“, som lar deg sende krypto i „pakker“ – grupper av transaksjoner. Og nettverket kunne godta eller avvise pakker basert på gebyrbeløpet. Foreløpig sjekker nettverket avgiftene til individuelle transaksjoner og ekskluderer avgifter under minimumsgrensene.

Gemini vil også donere $ 50.000 i Bitcoin til Human Rights Foundation’s Bitcoin Development Fund.

Merkelig nok kunngjorde Human Rights Foundation sin egen donasjon på $ 50.000 til Zhao på tirsdag, med henvisning til Gemini som sin donor. Men den sa at Gemini-pengene vil gå til neste gaverunde i første kvartal neste år.

I alle fall siterte Zhao, i hennes aksept-tweet, verken Cameron eller Tyler Winklevoss blant dem hun er „evig takknemlig for.“

Forbes-magasinet kalt denne uken Amiti Uttarwar, en annen kvinnelig Bitcoin Core-bidragsyter, blant sine 30 under 30.

The current Bitcoin events should make the heart of every crypto lover beat faster. Current media reports from China could, however, dampen this positive mood somewhat.

Local sources report that the Baoshan authorities want to completely shut down the power supply to the local miners

On November 30th, the Chinese crypto reporter Colin Wu commented on the current situation via Twitter . According to this, the Chinese government issued a ban stating that the power supply for mining farms in Yunnan should be stopped. Wu is of the opinion that this is more about „economic interests“ than about a general ban on crypto mining:

The impact of this incident cannot be overestimated. The attitude of local utilities towards crypto mining changes frequently. It is more of an economic interest demand than political pressure.

JustTRADE is the first German provider to offer an all-in-one solution for trading cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, …) stocks, ETFs and certificates. The website and app are designed to be intuitive, offer many useful features and are suitable for both beginners and advanced traders. The best: there are no transaction costs or network fees.

China provides 65 percent of the (assignable) global Bitcoin hash rate . If you calculate this number down to the Yunnan, it comes out that 5.42 percent come from this region. This makes Yunnan the fourth largest mining region in China.

Not the first mining conflict in China

The news comes after Chinese miners complained last month that they could no longer pay their electricity bills . In June 2020, Wu also reported that the Yunnan government closed a total of 64 mining farms after they were suspected of tax evasion. Seven of the closed mining farms were not even completed.

Despite the recent incidents, China is still the global leader in hash rate. However, this could change soon. Due to the tough approach on the part of the government, the local miners are giving more and more shares to other countries. The coming months will show whether this will continue to be the case in the future and whether China will remain at the top of the global market.
