Ein Smartphone, sie alle zu hodln: Neue Details über das Samsung Galaxy S10

Schlagzeilen dieser Art lassen den Puls der Szene höher schlagen: Samsungs neues Schlachtschiff unterstützt Krypto. Wie der südkoreanische Technikkonzern bereits vergangene Woche mitteilte, können Nutzer des Samsung Galaxy S10 ihre Private Keys direkt auf dem Gerät ablegen. Unklar war bisher allerdings, welche Kryptowährungen das neue Telefon unterstützt. In einer Pressemitteilung hieß es lediglich:

Es enthält außerdem einen hardwaregestützten Sicherheitsspeicher, der die Private Keys für blockchainbasierte Mobilservices verwahrt.

Wir berichteten.

Nun wurden weitere Details bekannt. Ein geleaktes Video zeigt den Umgang mit der integrierten Krypto-Geldbörse.

Darin demonstriert das Unternehmen die Zahlung via Ether (ETH), etwa bei Minute 0:55 taucht auch das altbekannte Bitcoin-Logo auf. Zwar wurde der Support von BTC und ETH von offizieller Seite noch nicht bestätigt, es gibt aber kaum Gründe die Authentizität des Videos in Zweifel zu ziehen.

Starthilfe für COSMEE und Enjin Coin

Die Top-Zwei-Kryptos ETH und BTC sind indes nicht die einzigen Token die sich auf dem S10 ablegen lassen. Neben genannten Platzhirschen gibt Samsung zwei eher unbekannten Coins Schützenhilfe: Die Rede ist von COSMEE und dem Game Coin Enjin.

Einer Pressemitteilung seitens CoinAll zufolge handelt es sich bei COSMEE um eine Art soziale „Schönheitsplattform“. COSMEE stammt aus dem Hause Cosmochain, einem südkoreanischem ICO, der es sich auf die Fahne geschrieben hat, „den wahren Wert von Schönheit auf das nächste Level zu bringen“, wie es auf der Unternehmenshomepage heißt. Demnach ist die Cosmochain die erste dezentrale Applikation (dApp), welche auf dem Galaxy S10 fest installiert ist. Integriert in den Token ist ein spezielles Reward-Modell, bei dem Nutzer COSM verdienen, wenn sie Bewertungen für Beauty-Produkte hinterlassen.

Hingegen fasst der vierte Token im Bunde, Enjin Coin (ENJ), als Zielgruppe explizit die Gamer-Gemeinde ins Auge. Mithilfe des ERC-1155 Token lassen sich In-Game-Inhalte monetarisieren und handeln.

Endstation Mond

Die Ankündigung sorgte im nachrichtensensiblen Krypto-Markt für einige Turbulenzen. So verzeichnete der Cosmo Coin (COSM), welcher als nativer Token von COSMEE fungiert, einen Kurszuwachs von knapp 50 Prozent innerhalb der letzten 24 Stunden.

ENJ indes konnte seinen Wert innerhalb eines Tages sogar mehr als verdoppeln: Der Coin verzeichnete einen Kurszuwachs von über 118 Prozent in den letzten 24 Stunden.

Does Regulation Slow Down or Accelerate Adoption?

Recently, many countries and cities have published new laws and legislations to regulate bitcoin. Does this help contribute to mainstream adoption, or is it merely a hindrance to it?

Regulation Slowing Adoption

New York was the first state in the USA to tighten regulation on bitcoin and other virtual currencies, via its BitLicense. This is issued by the New York State Department of Financial Services, and it regulates businesses which work with virtual currency.

The implementation of this law caused some bitcoin companies to cease operations in the state, while some others decided to go through the regulatory process to operate legally. However, to date, only 3 BitLicenses have been granted. Circle, Ripple and Coinbase are the only companies with the right to operate, and they must collect information on New York residents and report it back to the NYSDFS.

Other companies, like BitFinex and Kraken, decided to cease operations in the area and ban New York residents from using their services. They deemed the BitLicense to be too complicated to work with, and simply moving out of the area was the simplest option.

In other countries like China, regulation has been a bit harsher. Major exchanges were forced to introduce fees, freeze withdrawals and disable margin trading to comply with new regulation from the People’s Bank of China. Zhou Xuedong, director of the PBoC’s Business Administration unit, stated:

“There is a significant risk, one is the risk of customer funds security, the second is the risk of money laundering, the third is the risk of leveraged transactions.”

Ways Around Regulation

However, the bitcoin community has developed solutions to avoid regulation. Decentralized, peer-to-peer marketplaces exist, where users can spend and obtain bitcoins without adhering to any official regulation since the platform isn’t run by a third party.

BitSquare is a decentralized bitcoin exchange, where users can buy and sell bitcoins without proving their identity. OpenBazaar employs a similar concept and allows users to set up stores to sell their products.

There are also other platforms that aim to promote decentralisation. For example, Blockonomics.co provides a free, detailed bitcoin invoice services for freelancers and businesses, as an alternative to Coinbase or BitPay. This means that again, users can enjoy the same services without having to go through long verification processes.

Regulation Fueling Adoption

Contrary to popular belief, regulation doesn’t necessarily have to slow down adoption. In some cases, regulation could help bring cryptocurrency technology to the masses; an excellent example of this is Humaniq.

Humaniq is a new platform which aims to bring mobile banking services to those who reside in emerging economies. The platform is powered by blockchain technology, but they aim to be compliant with KYC/AML laws in the countries they will operate in.

However, users no longer have to go through a complicated verification process. Instead, the users’ identity can be verified by simply having them take a photo of themselves or by reading a short piece of text.

This could mean a significant step forward for blockchain technology. Users would be able to access all of its advantages without too much trouble, which is very important for those who live in emerging economies.

Nonetheless, any person can use Humaniq; their ICO (Initial Coin Offering) begins today, April 6th, which is a great chance to contribute to the project if you haven’t yet already done so.
