Bitcoin.com does not endorse nor support this product/service. Bitcoin.com is not responsible for or liable for any content, accuracy or quality within the press release.\n\nAuthorship’s recently launched ICO has already raised over $1M attracting over 800 investors to date. According to the formulated plan, 80% of the total 100 million ATS tokens will be sold to investors, whereas the remaining 20% are reserved for the first 100,000 authors who will register at the platform according to a predetermined schedule.\n\nWith the aim of providing a platform to authors, readers, publishers and even translators where they cannot only interact, but can also offer and avail services, Authorship.com is going to redefine the book industry.\n\nAuthorship aims to simplify the book publishing process by giving all the authorities to the author. When an author publishes a book at the platform, he/she enjoys all the rights and does not have to comply with the complex policies of publishers, worry about the distribution or share the major chunk of royalties with the publishing company.\n\nIn addition to helping authors getting their works published and being sold across the world, authorship will be a platform for readers, publishers and translators as well.\n\nWhen it comes to getting the hard copies of books published, authorship will revolutionize the publishing industry by reversing the typical scenario where the authors have no option, but to compromise on money, as the publisher takes the most profit, to get their books published.\n\nRather than making authors look for a publishing company, the platform will make publishers compete among themselves to get the rights for publishing a book.\nWhenever a reader will order a printed book on authorship, all the interested publishers on the platform will forward their quotes for printing the book and delivering it to the reader. This will give birth to a competitive environment where not only the publishers will be forced to come up with more realistic offers (low process), but the authors will also have the option to choose the best from a variety of publishers.\n\nAuthorship will also bring amazing opportunities for all the language experts out there. A lot of authors want their books to be translated into one or more languages so that more and more people, all over the world, can read them. However, many cannot make it happen because they have access to only a limited number of translators who usually charge high amounts of money for the work.\n\nAt Authorship, the authors will be connected to large numbers of translators all over the world, which will ensure competitive prices. The royalty from the sale of every translated book will be shared by the author and the translator automatically.\n\nTo sum up, it can easily be said that with the aim of resolving one of the biggest challenges authors face i.e. to get their books printed and distributed, to create numerous career opportunities for translators, and to connect readers with at least 100,000 authors from all over the world, authorship is going to drastically transform the book industry",

The impact of the storm destroyed a lot of Texan infrastructure and people all over the country are working together to help the region’s residents. Now the crew from The Crypto Show and Unsung.org have fired up an RV loaded with food, water, and other supplies to help hurricane victims all paid for with cryptocurrency.\n\nAlso read: ‘Decentralized Uber’ App Delivers 1,000 Meals in Austin, Texas\n\nCryptocurrency Will Help Texans In Need of Food, Water, and Basic Supplies\nThe host of the Crypto Show, an Austin-based cryptocurrency radio broadcast, not only operates a public radio channel but also regularly helps the organization, Unsung.org, deliver food to homeless people by utilizing bitcoin and dash donations. This past weekend the Crypto Show host Danny Sessoms decided to help people suffering from the hurricane hardship instead. So Sessoms loaded up his RV and decided to head to Port Aransas, Texas, to give people a helping hand and so far he’s received a lot of support from the crypto community. \n\nOver $50K in Cryptocurrency Donations Will Help Texas Hurricane Victims\nThe Crypto Show host purchased lots of basic supplies like dry towels, and more for Hurricane Harvey victims in Port Aransas, Texas.\n“So this whole thing started out just by fulfilling our obligation to Dash and the Unsung.org charity work, which we do every month,” Sessoms explains.\n\nSo I knew the hurricane effort was big, so I reached out to a bunch of people in the crypto-industry and announced our intentions to help hurricane victims on last night’s broadcast.\nOver $50K in Cryptocurrency Donations Will Help Texas Hurricane Victims\nDanny’s ride to Port Aransas sees a lot of downed power lines that had fallen into the highway.\nA Whopping 10 BTC Donation\nOver $50K in Cryptocurrency Donations Will Help Texas Hurricane Victims\nShopping carts filled with basic necessities all paid for with cryptocurrencies.\nDuring the Crypto Shows broadcast on Sunday, August 27, the crew announced the plan to help hurricane victims this week and subsequently got a lot of crypto donations for their efforts. Last night a Crypto Show listener decided to send the team 10 BTC to help individuals struggling with the hurricane’s destruction. In addition to the whopping $42K donation, Bitcoin.com’s CEO, Roger Ver, also donated bitcoin towards the effort as well. Sessoms tells us that between his monthly Dash/Unsung funds, and the recent bitcoin donations he’s gathered roughly $50K in cryptocurrencies to help Texas residents.\n\n“Last night on the show with Cody Wilson, one of our listeners reached out with an offer to match any donations up to 10 bitcoins,” Sessoms tells news.Bitcoin.com. “However instead of doing that, the listener decided to send us 10 BTC anyway. I have no idea how far this will go, but we are putting the funds to good use.”\n\nOver $50K in Cryptocurrency Donations Will Help Texas Hurricane Victims\nGas station near Port Aransas shows winds knocked down pumps bolted to the ground.\n Shopping Carts Filled With Supplies Will be Handed Out to Residents in the Port Aransas Region\nNews.Bitcoin.com reached out to the Crypto Show listener, Bill Kline, who donated the 10 BTC towards the hurricane victims in Texas. “So basically I posted to all my Facebook groups that I would match up to 10 BTC to help Texas,” Kline tells news.Bitcoin.com.\n\nDanny is too busy to see how much he was getting. So I just sent him the 10 BTC so he could get started. I am sure time is of the essence and I thought I would help. I can’t be there but the cryptocurrency community can be. We don’t have to wait for the state to act and if we do these things ourselves there won’t be a need for them.\nOver $50K in Cryptocurrency Donations Will Help Texas Hurricane Victims\nBuying travel packs and hygiene products at Wal Mart with the Shift card.\nWhile getting set up in Port Aransas, Sessoms tells us that his RV is very prepared and has a fully operational indoor and outdoor kitchen to help serve food to Hurricane victims. Further, Sessoms has stopped at multiple Wal Marts in the region, buying up all the travel packs and hygiene products. Sessoms says he’s been able to transfer the Bitcoin donations by utilizing his Shift card to make the purchases at Wal-Mart. He and his friend tell news.Bitcoin.com they’ve filled many shopping carts filled with useful items for residents in need.\n\nOver $50K in Cryptocurrency Donations Will Help Texas Hurricane Victims\nThe Crypto Show RV is set up next to some state troopers and the American Red Cross.\nThe True Power of This Technology and What Cryptocurrency Holds for the Future\nSessoms says he’s thrilled that cryptocurrencies can be used to help people in a crisis, as many residents in the area are without basic living essentials. Throughout the next 48-hours, Sessoms plans to hand out supplies to residents located in the city of Port Aransas and the storm is forecasted to move back towards the Gulf of Mexico. Sessoms says he’s extremely thankful for the cryptocurrency community, and Bill Kline for giving so much so quickly to people in need.\n\nOver $50K in Cryptocurrency Donations Will Help Texas Hurricane Victims\nThe Crypto Show host Danny Sessoms getting ready to hand out bags of food to hurricane victims located near Port Aransas, Texas.\n“Moments like these show the real power of this technology and what cryptocurrency holds for the future,” explains Sessoms. “I feel extremely humbled that Bill trusts me by giving us 10 BTC to help people, and I feel incredibly lucky to have a job like this where I can do everything I want in crypto by pushing this technology forward.”\n\nWhat do you think about the Crypto Show and Unsung.org’s efforts to help Texans in need of help?

Reward points are transferable and are accumulated by “browsing ads that are delivered via free games, online shopping, e-mail, etc,” the company’s website details. “We define ‘point’ as a kind of virtual currency and think that it has a very high affinity with virtual currencies such as bitcoin which is a global payment method.” Points can be exchanged for cash, electronic money, etc.,” the company explained. According to its website:\n\n‘Moppy’ is the largest point site in Japan with a total of 5 million users…The accumulated points can be exchanged for digital contents such as cash, various electronic money, games, ‘1 point = 1 yen’.\nStrategic Partnership with Bitbank\nJapan's Largest Rewards Site Operator With 5 Million Users Launching Bitcoin ExchangeCeres formed a capital and business alliance with Bitbank which operates the Japanese bitcoin exchange Bitbank.cc last month. Ceres detailed at the time that its investment of 850 million yen (approximately $7.7 million) into Bitbank made it the second largest shareholder with 29.9% of the total shares.\n\nThe Bitbank exchange supports multiple currencies including bitcoin, litecoin, ripple, and ether.

Some bitcoin cash recipients could owe tax at rates as high as 39.6%.\n\nAlso read: Federal Judge Sides with Coinbase Customer Against IRS\nBitcoin Cash Could be Treated as Income\n\nAt the time of the Bitcoin network split on August 1, bitcoin holders received the same amount of bitcoin cash as the bitcoin they were holding at the time. While the IRS may consider the receipt of the new cryptocurrency taxable, “tax experts say there has been no guidance on how to treat the sudden receipt of bitcoin cash,” according to the Wall Street IRS May Consider Bitcoin Cash Fork Taxable IncomeJournal on Friday. The news outlet added that the IRS declined to comment on the issue.\n\n“While the IRS has issued guidance on cryptocurrency — labeling it an ‘intangible asset’ for investors subject to capital gains and loss treatment using the realization method — it has not issued guidance on cryptocurrency split or ‘fork’ transactions,” explained CPA Robert A. Green, founder and CEO of Green & Company Inc. He then noted that in the eyes of the IRS, the receipt of bitcoin cash is taxable income, adding that:\n\n        Bitcoin holders should report the receipt of bitcoin cash on their 2017 income tax returns.\n\nSome bitcoin holders delay dealing with bitcoin cash or their exchanges do not support it, making it difficult to retrieve the cryptocurrency soon after it was created. However, the “IRS could apply the constructive receipt of income doctrine to argue the bitcoin holder had access to bitcoin cash but turned his or her back on receiving it,” he detailed.\n\nA buy-side tax specialist at Deloitte, Jim Calvin, thinks that the receipt of bitcoin cash could be taxable this year for technical reasons, the Wall Street Journal conveyed his explanations:\n\n        Recipients would have ordinary income, although the amount isn’t clear. It could be based either on the value of bitcoin cash when issued or when investors could trade it…Bitcoin cash recipients could owe tax this year at rates as high as 39.6%. It’s unclear whether the 3.8% net investment income tax would also apply.\n\nBitcoin Cash Could Be Treated as ‘Property Division’\n\nOn the other hand, the IRS could consider the receipt of bitcoin cash a “property division,” the Wall Street Journal noted, adding that:\n\n        In this case, no tax would be due until the holder sells or transfers the bitcoin cash. But the cost basis of both bitcoin holdings would need to be adjusted to account for the split. (Cost basis is the starting point for measuring taxable gain after a holding is sold.)\n\nThe IRS May Want a Piece of Bitcoin Cash This YearInternational law firm Locke Lord LLC wrote that “if the IRS takes the position that the bitcoin split was akin to a stock split, then little if any tax considerations need to be considered at this time.”\n\nAccording to the IRS, “stock splits don’t create a taxable event” although there is a requirement to report the new shares. “You merely receive more stock evidencing the same ownership interest in the corporation that issued the stock.” The agency does demand that the share’s cost basis is adjusted to include the new total quantity of the shares.\nIRS Is Not Focusing on Bitcoin Cash\n\nCurrently, the IRS is preoccupied with cracking down on those who evade taxes using digital currency, rather than the taxation of bitcoin cash. Recently, news.Bitcoin.com reported on the agency purchasing Chainalysis’ bitcoin investigation software to detect money laundering as well as potential tax evaders.\n\nThe IRS is also in the process of seeking information on Coinbase customers. In July, it narrowed data requests to those with $20,000 in any one transaction type in any year during 2013 and 2015. A criminal tax attorney with Kostelanetz & Fink, Bryan Skarlatos, believes that “the IRS got the information it wanted on Americans hiding money in offshore accounts, and it will get the information it wants on Americans evading taxes through virtual currencies.”\n\nHow do you think the IRS will tax bitcoin cash?

As the central bank reiterates the legal status of the digital currency, other government agencies also weigh in.\n\nAlso read: First Bitcoin Exchange Launching in Egypt\n\nCentral Bank of Egypt’s Response\nA senior official at the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) reportedly responded to the news last week of the first bitcoin exchange launching in Egypt, according to local publications.\n\nCentral Bank of Egypt Responds to First Bitcoin Exchange Launch\n\nThe central bank’s response came just hours after a handful of publications including Reuters reported about the launch of Bitcoin Egypt, which is expected at the end of August. If allowed to open for business, the platform would be the country’s first bitcoin exchange. News.Bitcoin.com recently interviewed its co-founder, Rami Khalil. “The tentative launch date is the 31st of August. We will definitely at least go into alpha testing at that time if we are not fully operational,” he told news.Bitcoin.com.\n\nThe CBE official said in his statement that the bank has no intention of issuing legislation or passing a special law that allows the trading of digital currency, including bitcoin. In addition, the cryptocurrency is not recognized in financial and banking transactions. He added:\n\nSo far there is no legislation or law on virtual currencies that allows electronic circulation in Egypt.\nKhalil told Reuters that his upcoming exchange has already received about 300 pre-registrations.\n\nPrevious Denial by the Central Bank \nIn June, the CBE made an official statement denying the rumors that suggested it was exploring the use of digital currency such as bitcoin and was considering allowing its circulation and trading within the banking sector. “For the stability of the Egyptian banking system, the banks deal with the official currencies only, and never deal with any virtual currencies,” clarified CBE deputy governor Gamal Negm.\n\nLawyer Mahmoud Helmi, a specialist on economic disputes, told Al-Monitor that “the Egyptian legal position does not oppose bitcoin in particular.” However, he cited Law No. 38 of 1994 which stipulates that “dealing in foreign exchanges shall be limited to banks accredited by the competent authorities such as the central bank.” The publication also quoted him explaining that “the investigating authorities and the judiciary may consider that the sale of bitcoins in exchange for euros or US dollars is a [crime] … since it’s an unrecognized currency in Egypt.”\n\nNo License Has Been Issued\nActing Chairman of the Egyptian Financial Supervisory Authority (FSA), Reda Abdel Moaty, said in a brief statement last week, that the authority has not issued any licenses for digital currency exchanges in Egypt.\n\nCentral Bank of Egypt Responds to First Bitcoin Exchange LaunchMohamed Farid Saleh, Chairman of the country’s stock exchange concurred, telling Al Ahram that no license has been issued to any exchanges dealing with digital currency in Egypt.\n\nMoaty also added that the authority has not received any requests from any entity to establish an exchange of digital currency such as bitcoin. He noted that an exchange trading without a necessary license is against the law and will be prosecuted, reported Masrawy, the leading news portal in Egypt, Middle East and North Africa. According to Moaty, the Egyptian Capital Market Law currently does not provide for the establishment of digital currency exchanges. The news outlet also reported on Saturday:\n\nThe FSA confirmed that it has not issued licenses for any trading platforms for bitcoin in Egypt and that it will pursue the founders.\nBitcoin Egypt did not respond to a request for comment at press time.\n\nWhat do you think the central bank will do if Bitcoin Egypt launches?

      "body": "Two more bitcoin ETFs have been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). “Rex Bitcoin Strategy ETF” and “Rex Short Bitcoin Strategy ETF” are not expected to invest directly in bitcoin. Their investments will include US-listed bitcoin derivatives as well as “an actively managed portfolio of fixed income instruments.”\n\nAlso read: Bitcoin ETF Filed with SEC by Leading Gold Fund Manager Vaneck\n\nBitcoin ETFs Without Bitcoin\nTwo bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) were filed with the SEC on August 23; Rex Bitcoin Strategy ETF and Rex Short Bitcoin Strategy ETF. The former seeks to provide investors with “long exposure” to the price movements of bitcoin, whereas the latter with “short exposure.” The ticker symbols and expense ratios were not disclosed. According to the filing:\n\nThe funds are actively managed and are not expected to invest directly in bitcoin. As such, the funds can be expected to perform differently from the performance of the bitcoin.\nFounded in 2014, Rex Shares LLC is the sponsor of the funds. Prior to the filing, the company announced the formation of a wholly-owned subsidiary called Rex Capital Management LLC on August 21. Its focus is to develop investment products and strategies related to bitcoin and other digital assets. Rex Capital Management will act as the advisor to the funds.\n\n‘Long’ and ‘Short’ Bitcoin ETFs\nLong and Short Bitcoin ETFs Filed with SECThe Rex Bitcoin Strategy ETF’s specific SEC filing states that “the fund does not expect to invest directly in bitcoin.” Instead, the fund will invest in “financial instruments that provide exposure to the price movements of bitcoin, including futures contracts linked to the price of bitcoin or an index thereof and that are traded and/or listed in the United States (‘Bitcoin Futures’).” In addition:\n\nThe fund seeks to achieve its investment objective, under normal circumstances, by investing directly and indirectly in an actively managed portfolio of financial instruments providing long exposure to movements in the value of bitcoin, together with an actively managed portfolio of fixed income instruments.\nLong and Short Bitcoin ETFs Filed with SECIt will gain significant exposure to bitcoin instruments, the filing claims, by investing up to 25% of its total assets in a wholly-owned Cayman Islands subsidiary. The subsidiary will invest in long positions in Bitcoin Futures and will periodically sell them to unwind a portion of its positions. In addition, “the fund expects the notional value of its exposure to bitcoin to be equal to approximately 100% of fund assets at the close of each trading day.”\n\nMeanwhile, the short bitcoin ETF seeks to achieve its investment objective by “providing short exposure to movements in the value of bitcoin,” in a similar manner to its long counterpart.\n\nFund Managers Increasingly File for Bitcoin ETFs\nThe Rex Bitcoin ETF filings follow the Vaneck Vectors Bitcoin Strategy ETF, which was filed with the SEC by investment management firm Vaneck last week. News.Bitcoin.com recently reported on the filing. Expected to list on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Vaneck’s bitcoin ETF also does not hold any actual bitcoin, but will invest up to 25% of its value in U.S. exchange-traded bitcoin derivative instruments.\n\nThe SEC is also currently considering Barry Silbert’s Bitcoin Investment Trust and Coin ETF. The former is set to be decided on by October 7. The latter is under review after Bats BZX Exchange filed a petition to reverse the Commission’s decision to reject it in March.\n\nWhat do you think of these fund managers launching bitcoin ETFs but not investing in bitcoin? Also, do you think the SEC will approve them? Let us know in the comments section below.",

      "body": "While many bitcoiners have been focused on the competition between Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH), another significant battle is taking place. Many grueling arguments between bitcoin Core developers and their supporters, Segwit2x (Btc1) developers and proponents of the New York Agreement continue to fuel tension throughout the entire cryptocurrency community.![Bitcoin-Software-Wars-The-Battle-Between-Nodes-Hashpower-and-Developers.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdMeEiGzD5cCtm6S7NQ4UqQoSoBLCY22AxiUjNmLigrFt/Bitcoin-Software-Wars-The-Battle-Between-Nodes-Hashpower-and-Developers.png)\nThe Ferocious Battle Between Two Camps: Core and Segwit2x\nBitcoin Software Wars: The Battle of Nodes, Hashpower, and DevelopmentAs news.Bitcoin.com reported last week, there’s been a lot of drama across the web concerning Segwit2x and the bitcoin Core reference client. It started with Bitpay’s statement which gave Bitcore nodes the choice to use Segwit2x software, instead of the Core reference client as a form of upgrade. Since then Core developers/supporters and Segwit2x developers/supporters have been battling ferociously. These fights were followed by Bitpay and its services being removed from Bitcoin.org, and early Bitcoin adopter and developer Jeff Garzik was removed from the Core repository on Github. Then Bitcoincore.org, a website that represents the official code base, released a statement called “Correcting Misinformation on Segwit2x and Btc1.”    \n\n“Btc1 is not connected to bitcoin Core in any way,” explains Core’s official announcement. “No regular bitcoin Core contributors support btc1 or have any connection to the project, nor were any involved in the design of its proposed hard fork.”\n\nWe strongly advise users not to download any Bitcoin full-node software claiming to be an ‘upgrade’ to Bitcoin’s consensus rules without carefully considering the impact of the proposed changes on the Bitcoin system and the level of community support for it. This includes proposed consensus changes in new releases of Bitcoin Core.\nReplay Attack Prevention\nThe battle has also revolved around discussions of a replay attack which is a network attack where Unspent Transaction Outputs (UTXO) are valid on both chains and used dishonestly. Without replay attack protection a malicious actor can replay the transaction on one chain and also fraudulently claim coins on the other chain. For August 1 the Bitcoin Cash network implemented strong replay attack protection which prevented these issues, and the split was a clean break. Segwit2x (Btc1) software does not have replay attack protection at the current time, and this has been a bone of contention for Core developers. So far, Segwit2x developer Jeff Garzik has received most of the backlash for his participation with the Btc1 code base, hence his removal from Core’s Github.\n\nBitcoin Software Wars: The Battle of Nodes, Hashpower, and Development\nShapeshift founder Erik Voorhees not pleased with Jeff Garzik’s removal from the Core Github repo.\n Core Developer Eric Lombrozo Threatens Cyber-Attackers With Both Technical and Legal Action  \nBitcoin Core developer Eric Lombrozo says Segwit2x “constitutes a serious cyber-attack” and says action against it will be implemented in both technical and legal form. The problem with this argument is that opposition believes the majority hashpower and business support will be enough for consensus. Further Bcoin & Btc1 developer, Christopher Jeffrey, and many others think Gavin Andresen’s op-return method is sufficient.\n\n“Gavin Andresen‘s anti-replay patch carries with it the benefit of preventing the 1mb chain from ever reorging the 2mb chain,” software developer Christopher Jeffrey explains. “As soon as an OP_RETURN [segwit2x] transaction is mined on the 1mb chain, the 1mb chain is now invalid in the eyes of the HF code. I think this should be implemented for both anti-replay and anti-reorg benefits.”\n\nThree days ago Jeff Garzik explained that the opt-in replay protection created by Andresen “seems like something they could merge.” Others Segwit2x supporters believe the majority hashpower will be what’s more decisive, because if 90 percent of the hashrate pushes the Segwit2x’s hard fork through, Core software would likely have to split off. This will lead to the legacy chain retaining very little hashrate with a tough mining difficulty. Further, Jeff Garzik asks his Twitter followers why Core hasn’t added replay attack protection by stating;  \n\nAny idea when bitcoin Core will add replay protection? There’s a whole lot of “For Thee, But Not For Me” going on",
