Sgminer fork with support for x16r and x16s for amd gpu miners

If you are looking for a miner for Ravencoin (RVN) and its X16r algorithm or Pigeoncoin (PGN) and its X16S algorithm for AMD GPUs, then you might want to check out this new sgminer fork by brianmct (source). There are pre-compiled binaries available for both Windows and Linux, so you should be covered for the two operating systems, if using Linux make sure you have the required dependencies installed. Unfortunately this may not be the best performing X16r and X16S hashrate wise as our initial tests show, but at least it works and you have a working miner for X16S for AMD until a faster solution that works becomes available. There are more forks of sgminer that are trying to implement X16S support, but apparently there are some trouble making them work. A faster performing X16r AMD GPU miner that we have already posted about is available here, but it does not have support for X16S.

Más exchanges afectados en Chile: BancoEstado cierra cuenta a Orionx

La decisión de este banco se suma a la tomada esta semana por otras instituciones contra los intercambios CryptoMKT y Buda.com.

BancoEstado, la única entidad bancaria de Chile que mantenía cuentas corrientes con exchanges de criptomonedas, cerró la cuenta de Orionx, una plataforma que se ha hecho muy popular en ese país debido a su sencillez. Vale señalar que hace apenas unos días los intercambios CryptoMKT y Buda habían denunciado públicamente mediante un comunicado el bloqueo de sus cuentas con otros dos bancos.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Esta tarde el medio Emol, el brazo digital del diario El Mercurio, informó acerca de una notificación enviada por BancoEstado a la empresa Orionx  en la que señaló:

Mediante la presente le informamos que BancoEstado ha resuelto el cierre de la cuenta de la cual usted es titular, de conformidad a la facultad dispuesta en el Contrato de Cuentas”.

Emol añade que la entidad alegó que la razón “se debe a que BancoEstado adoptó la decisión, por ahora, de no operar con empresas que se dediquen a la emisión o creación, corretaje, intermediación o sirvan de plataforma de las llamadas o denominadas criptomonedas”. Afirma que el banco mantendrá esta postura “mientras no exista un reconocimiento regulatorio de dicha actividad”. Según indica la carta, el cierre se realizará después de 10 días corridos a partir de hoy jueves.

Orionx es la plataforma que más criptomonedas transa en Chile, según Emol, y la única que opera con las divisas chilenas Chaucha y Luka. Las otras criptomonedas con las que trabaja son bitcoin, Ethereum, bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Dash y Ripple.

Los otros dos exchanges, CryptoMKT y Buda, también tienen cuentas en BancoEstado, por lo que el medio Emol supone que también podrían recibir el mismo aviso que recibió hoy Orionx.  Estas dos casas de intercambio habían recibido la notificación de cierre de sus cuentas en los bancos Scotiabank e Itaú.

En algunos grupos de Facebook, los usuarios de Chile manifestaron su preocupación por los saldos que tienen en Orionx, empresa que aún no se ha pronunciado oficialmente. En su mayoría piensan que el cierre de esas cuentas en tres bancos distintos es una acción coordinada y que puede haber responsabilidad gubernamental.  Algunos también reportan que la página de Orionx parece estar colgada, o quizás colapsada por la cantidad de retiros.

AML: US Rules Would Force Declaration Of Crypto At Borders

An update to US anti-money laundering (AML) legislation currently going through Congress would oblige travelers to declare digital currency at the border.


AML Rules Target $10k+ Crypto Holdings

S. 1241, a new bill sponsored by Senator Chuck Grassley, proposes adding the terms ‘digital currency’ and ‘prepaid access devices’ to existing list of financial items subject so such AML procedures.

It would also include reference to “any digital exchanger or tumbler of digital currency.”

Ostensibly designed to prevent trafficking of funds over $10,000 in value, the resulting powers given to border authorities could be nonetheless considerably more sweeping than at present.

United States Congress

While it is unclear how those arriving in the US would be screened for digital currency holdings, the Bill makes provision for a report to be commissioned ironing out the finer points.

The text states:

Not later than 18 months after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, shall submit to Congress a report—

(1) detailing a strategy to interdict and detect prepaid access devices, digital currencies, or other similar instruments, at border crossings and other ports of entry for the United States; and

(2) that includes an assessment of infrastructure needed to carry out the strategy detailed in paragraph […]

Coin Center ‘Reaching Out’ For Debate

The bitcoin community is already reacting with caution to the legislation as it stands, with multiple questions being raised as to how lawmakers could enforce it in practice.

“We’re reaching out to the relevant offices,” Coin Center CEO Jerry Brito said in a Twitter response.

EU Focuses On Dark Web, ID Linking

The move is reminiscent of similar plans across the pond in the European Union regarding declaration of digital currency funds, this time at the point of spend.

While border controls are not currently on the table, legislators are keen to enforce similar AML controls on anyone holding any form of virtual funds.

Formally revealed in March, users could soon face obligatory linking of their personal identity to their wallet.

AML could force linking users' ID to their digital wallets

More recently, a joint “consortium” by the European Commission, INTERPOL and others will research ways in which illicit use of the dark web can be curbed. Participants promise that:

“The consortium will analyze legal and ethical requirements and define guidelines for storing and processing data, information, and knowledge involved in criminal investigations without compromising citizen privacy,” participants promise.
