As far as the top cryptocurrency markets are concerned, it remains to be seen which one, if any, will move up later today. As of right now, everything in the top 10 looks rather bleak, primarily because bitcoin is bleeding value all over the place. However, there is always a chance some positive momentum occurs because of this trend. When even the Dogecoin price is in the red, however, the future is not looking too great.

Dogecoin Price Momentum is Worrisome

In the world of cryptocurrency, there is a lot of information to keep an eye on. Not all markets will follow the world’s leading cryptocurrency’s price trend, which is always a welcome sight. When it comes to Dogecoin, however, it would appear there is always some adverse momentum. It is worth keeping an eye on Dogecoin at all times, as it is usually an indicator as to what will happen to the other markets over the next few hours. Right now, that trend is not necessarily too promising.

Over the past 24 hours, Dogecoin has been somewhat successful in terms of maintaining its current value. Although a 0.12% drop isn’t too bothersome whatsoever, one has to keep in mind that in itself does not look promising whatsoever. There is a 1.12% gain in DOGE/BTC at this time, however, which could easily offset the minor USD losses over the coming hours. That is, assuming this DOGE/BTC trend will remain in place, which may prove to be rather difficult to maintain.

On social media, it would appear something interesting is happening. Although the Dogecoin community still wants to get DOGE listed on Coinbase in the near future, it seems these demands are growing less common. This may be a sign of the community giving up on this project as a whole, although it is also possible Dogecoin doesn’t even need Coinbase in the first place. The recently listed coins on this exchange have not done too great in the price department, after all.

In the world of Dogecoin, there is never a lack of memes and funny images. Dogecoin Memes has shared a nice meme this time around and one that shows how one’s Dogecoin memes folder will usually trump that of Windows or the regular memes one. Images like these will keep the community entertained for some time to come, although it is evident it will not impact the price whatsoever. A good meme a day keeps the depression away, though.

The day can only get better when there is not just one, but two separate Dogecoin memes in one day. Siyana would like to see Dogecoin pump, rather than dump. While that is to be expected from traders and cryptocurrency enthusiasts, it seems unlikely there will be any major price increase in the near future. However, with the strong DOGE/BTC gains in place, there is a chance there won’t be much of a dump either throughout the rest of the day.

As is usually the case when it comes to Dogecoin, this market is even more predictable than most others out there. Since it doesn’t appear to rely on bitcoin’s momentum all that much, there is a good chance things will turn out to be rather interesting moving forward. How high or low the value will go throughout the day and over the weekend, is very difficult to predict. After all, there is usually a lot of surprising price momentum during the weekend.

Introducing a Programming Language so Simple, It “Fits on a T-shirt”

http://plas2017.cse.buffalo.edu/

Blockstream is introducing Simplicity, a new programming language for blockchain-based smart contracts, intended for inclusion in Blockstream’s sidechains and eventually in bitcoin. The new language was presented by its creator, Russell O’Connor, Infrastructure Tech Developer at Blockstream, at the ACM SIGSAC Workshop on Programming Languages and Analysis for Security (PLAS 2017).

“Simplicity is a blockchain programming language that is so simple, it fits on a t-shirt,” O’Connor told bitcoin Magazine. “It is critical that smart contracts behave in ways that all participants expect, and applying formal verification to Simplicity allows us to achieve that.”

Simplicity is still a Blockstream Research & Development project, but there’s potential for its use in Blockstream products in the future, according to the company’s announcement.

“Simplicity is flexible enough that I anticipate many new, domain-specific, languages will generate Simplicity, and this will give users the freedom to generate smart contracts using the tools that most suit their needs,” added O’Connor.

O’Connor’s paper, titled “Simplicity: A New Language for Blockchains,” presents Simplicity as “a new programming language, designed to be used for cryptocurrencies and blockchain applications, which aims to improve upon existing cryptocurrency languages, such as bitcoin Script and Ethereum’s EVM [virtual machine], while avoiding some of the problems they face.”

bitcoin script is limited by design and unsuitable for complex smart contracts that need more than a small set of simple templates to perform tasks like digital signature verification. Ethereum, on the other hand, includes a more expressive and flexible, Turing-complete programming language, which allows for arbitrarily complex smart-contracts in principle.

But, in practice, Ethereum doesn’t support static analysis to pre-determine the computing resources that a program will require and, thus, filter out too costly contracts and infinite loops. Therefore, pre-paid “gas” fees are lost when an Ethereum program “runs out of gas.” The simpler bitcoin scripting, which supports static analysis, doesn’t present similar issues.

In a post to the bitcoin-dev mailing list, O’Connor proposed Simplicity as an alternative to bitcoin Script, noting that static analysis is important for both node operators and for Simplicity program designers.

“Static analysis is a technique that provides a universal algorithm to determine how much any Simplicity program will cost to run before you stake your money on it,” O’Connor told bitcoin Magazine.

Simplicity can be seen as a more flexible alternative to bitcoin scripting, not Turing-complete but expressive enough to build useful smart contracts for blockchain applications, or as an alternative to Ethereum, which will support static analysis and other desirable features including improved safety, formal semantics, and Merkelized Abstract Syntax Trees (MASTs).

While Simplicity is intended as a low-level language for smart contracts, O’Connor envisages the possibility of compiling programs written in higher-level languages (like Ethereum’s Solidity) to Simplicity.

“Ivy and the Σ-State Authentication Language are existing programming language development efforts that may be suitable for being compiled to Simplicity,” notes O’Connor in the paper. “For the time being, generating Simplicity with our [Haskell] and [Coq] libraries is possible.”

The next step in Simplicity’s development will be a bare-bones SDK (Software Developer Kit) that will include formal semantics and correctness proofs in Coq, a Haskell implementation for constructing Simplicity programs and a C interpreter for Simplicity. Then, the new language will be ready for initial deployment in the Elements project, Blockstream’s open-source codebase for sidechains, so that developers can start experimenting with the code.

But, as O’Connor stated on bitcoin-dev, “Only after extensive vetting would it be suitable to consider Simplicity for inclusion in bitcoin.”
