Veritaseum


So I was browsing https://coinmarketcap.com/ just for fun. And I saw this coin near 100( this was a while ago, I’m not sure if it is true still), veritaseum. And I thought to myself, oh, like the youtube channel?
Well, no, it is not that. This isn’t the first time I have confused a cryptocurrency name with something else.

But this coin still is interesting.

It looks like you can “rent” your tokens (kind of like the margin loans I make on Polo). I’m not sure of the details exactly, but here is the site. https://veritas.veritaseum.com/verent-platform I will have to look into it more.

But, it looks like Polo is now ending the margin loans for US customers. Polo probably should be issuing a 1099 INT for each margin lender, but they don’t. Instead of correcting this, it looks like they are doing the easier solution and just ending the service. I probably will move to another exchange after this.


And, as might note in my last post, I am probably leaving Cryptopia as well. I’ll let you know when I find a new place to go.


Also, check out my most recent edition to Zero to Moon! When you buy the book to are entitled to personally as me, a CPA candidate, questions about Cryptocurrency. All personalized for your situation. At five dollars this really is a steal and if it catches on, I will likely have to discontinue it.

Sealand


Some of you may know I like to follow what micronations are up to. For example, take a look at these past posts:

Liberland


Republic Veneta




And my favorite micronation of course is Sealand.

Well, it looks like you can now buy lordship from Sealand with bitcoin!


I have wanted lordship for awhile, but I kind of refuse to buy something so impractical. I actually tried to email someone at Sealand to trade services for lordship. I am cheap after all (so cheap, you should check out my newest website). But more importantly, earning lordship (rather than buying it) makes it seem more legitimate to me. But now, with the seemingly recent addition to purchase with bitcoin, I might actually do it (so I can tell you about the experience!)

My only complaint is the font they use for “lord” looks kind of strange. Actually, as I write it now, it looks like arial bold, which perhaps isn’t fancy enough.

Anyways, maybe I will do an update if I ever buy this.

And, as always,

Nyan delisted

I have some unfortunate news. It looks like one of my favorite altcoins, Nyan, is going to be delisted from Cryptopia Shortly.   My heart raced slightly as I read the title “44-Day Delisting Notice.” Here is the email I got on Nov 26:

You are receiving this email because we recognise you as a holder of coin(s) that have been put into delisting status on Cryptopia.

We are committed to ensuring the coins we have available to trade on the exchange adhere to our stringent ethical, legal and technical standards outlined in our Listing Policy which can be viewed here: Listing Policy.

After conducting a thorough review, it has been determined that the below coin(s) no longer comply and as such, we are delisting:
NYAN
For further information regarding Cryptopia's delisting guidelines, our full policy can be viewed here: Delisting Policy.

Please note that we will permanently delist the above coin(s) on 9 November 2018 [Emphasis added]. Trade markets are now closed, and we recommend cancelling any open orders. To ensure your funds are off the exchange before the above coin(s) is removed, please withdraw any balances to a compatible wallet at your earliest convenience. Any queries or issues locating a compatible wallet or block explorer should be directed to the coin's development team. Please refer to our Delisting article for more information here

We would like to reassure you that Cryptopia only delists coins that could expose our users to risk, if you have any questions regarding this please contact our Support Team


At first, I didn’t know what to make of the email. It didn’t make any sense to me. Well, one problem was the date, which an email the next day they corrected: ”The date mentioned in our previous email was incorrect. The correct date for the delisting of the previously listed coin(s) is 10 January 2019.” I also reached out to the Crypotia for comment. To me, they refused to give any more information. However, to Coinaday, one of the devs, they stated “You are welcome to improve your coin’s infrastructure, including by making improvements to assist users to withdraw their coins from our exchange. However, doing so will not change the delisting status or date of 10/01/2019 on which it is due to be delisted.”

This Delisting is not limited to Nyan, there are 60 coins going through the delisting process right now (List here), but another of the coins is Ron Paul Coin! Oh dear. If you haven’t been reading my blog long, RPC was one of the first coins I covered.

Lastly, I commissioned a picture for Nyancoin. Here it is!
