Icobox announces the conclusion of its icos program

ICOBox, one of the world’s leaders in ICO marketing, has decided to conclude its ICOS program, which was originally established to help promising but underfunded new projects gain access to the tools developed by ICOBox for selling their goods and services via ICOs.

In a little over 18 months into its operations, the program has received 4,555 applications, and 200 projects were selected as participants. In this time, over 600 tokens swaps were carried out.

In the next two months, the platform will operate as follows:

  • March 15-31, 2019: final swaps for the remaining projects;
  • April 1-14, 2019: all tokens which remained unexchanged will be made available for exchange. During this time, users will also be able to deposit in the program tokens that they have previously withdrawn from the platform;
  • April 14, 2019: the token exchange process will finally conclude;
  • April 14-30, 2019: ICOS program will be available for withdrawals only, at no charge;
  • May 1, 2019: the use of the platform will be subject to a monthly fee payable in tokens stored in the users’ accounts. The information about the charges will be reflected in ICOBox’s amended White Paper and Terms of Service and posted on the website.

ICOS program was originally established to support the launch and development of new promising startups through the issue of ICOS tokens. One of the program’s key advantages is the opportunity to exchange ICOS tokens for tokens issued by new projects through the platform. All collected funds are used to cover the ICO costs for projects selected by the vote of ICOS token holders.

ICOBox was founded in 2017. In just a little over a year the company evolved from an unknown startup to the world’s largest service provider for blockchain companies seeking to conduct their ICOs. Over its lifetime, the company helped 80 projects enter the market and collect about $670 million via their ICOs. Among them are such well-known projects as INS, Universa, Play2Live, Crypterium, Celsius, Patron, Storiqa, Paragon, Tokenstars, CrowdGenie, SocialMedia.Market, Native Video Box, etc.

Bitcoin Miners Raked in Over $2 Billion Since 2008

bitcoin miners have earned over $2 Billion in revenue since cryptocurrency was first established in 2008, according to a new study published by the Cambridge Centre For Alternative Finance. 


What is bitcoin Mining?

bitcoin mining refers to the process by which blocks of transactions are created and then appended to the bitcoin blockchain. Each new block contains a few hundred transactions, where each transaction is a payment from one or more bitcoin address to other address or addresses.

The process of creating blocks is called bitcoin mining because there is a reward associated with each new block that is created and appended to the blockchain. Currently, as of 2017, the reward is 12.5 bitcoins. So anyone who creates a new block, and is able to do it faster than anyone else, will be able to claim this reward of 12.5 bitcoins for each block that they create.

This study, written by Dr. Garrick Hileman and Michel Rauchs, has revealed that the total rewards from bitcoin mining since 2008, when bitcoin was founded, have been more than $2 Billion. It should be noted that the mining reward per block halves after every 4 years.

It started at 50 Bitcoins per block in 2008, halved to 25 bitcoins per block in 2012, and then was further halved to 12.5 bitcoins per block in 2016. So, in the past, miners were earning more bitcoins for each new block.

However, with the value of bitcoin touching all-time highs of $1200 per bitcoin, the miners are earning a lot more in dollars at present than they did in the past.

Miners’ Role in Protocol Development

Miners have recently been in the news because there are a number of proposals to change the bitcoin protocol, and they have an important role to play. bitcoin Unlimited is one such proposed change, which seeks to modify the bitcoin protocol and the software that is used to run it.

The bitcoin Core, or the main bitcoin software release, has also proposed a new feature called Segregated Witness, or SegWit for short. Miners have a large role to play in selecting which of these competing new features or proposals are implemented.

In this context, the study found that a majority of miners acknowledge their important role in protocol development.

Key highlights of the study include:

  • 70% of large miners rate their influence on protocol development as high or very high, compared to 51% of small miners.
  • The cryptocurrency mining map shows that publicly known mining facilities are geographically dispersed, but a significant concentration can be observed in certain Chinese provinces.

More Findings From the Study

The study reported a number of other important findings, including an estimate of the total number of bitcoin users in the world. According to this study, there are an estimated 2.9 million to 5.8 million active bitcoin users worldwide. The majority of these users are located in Europe and North America.

Apptrade

The study also found that 1,876 people are working full time in the cryptocurrency industry. This does not include headcounts from a number of mining companies, so the actual figure may be much larger.

Cambridge Centre For Alternative Finance is affiliated with Cambridge University, United Kingdom. This study by Dr. Garrick Hileman and Michel Rauchs was released a few days ago, under the title of Global Cryptocurrency Benchmarking Study.
