IBM announces its new cloud Blockchain Security Service
Today (July 15, 2016) IBM announces its new cloud Blockchain Security Service that aims at helping businesses test and run blockchain projects for private applications.
Defined as the “IBM secure blockchain cloud environment”, this project is a new integration of the IBM’s existing blockchain cloud service.
However, the company goal is to increase the security of private blockchain services running in the cloud.
Donna Dillenberger recently commented how the cloud environment – thanks to the IBM LinuxOne server – could protect valuable data on a private blockchain.
She explained to Coindesk:
“The cloud is made up of a special hardware that protects the blockchain from hacks, from people who have unethically compromised root users or system administrator credentials.”
Using this safe network, blockchain applications built through the IBM blockchain are signed and encrypted so it is impossible for a malware to install itself on this platform.
This project is currently in a limited beta version.
Cloud Blockchain Security Service
This is not the first time we read news related to IBM and blockchain services.
In fact, previously this company announced its project for an artificial intelligence called Watson to be created thanks to the blockchain. You can read the full news by clicking here.
Also, IBM is so enthusiastic about this technology that Director John Wolpert commented “We’re All in on Blockchain”, during an important Blockchain Conference held in San Francisco on February 12nd, 2016.

The well-known entrepreneur Kim DotCom announced that he plans to restore the web hosting platform Megaupload with Bitcoin next year.
In fact, a few days ago Kim DotCom, who created Megaupload back in 2005, published a tweet in which he explains his project:

He also explained that everyone who will tweet on his behalf will get a beta access for the Megaupload 2.0.
According to his will, Kim will restore the website on January 20th, 2017, or the fifth anniversary of the U.S. government closed the original domain.
Thanks to bitcoin, DotCom indicates that users will be able to pay the access to Megaupload with Bitcoin.
When Megaupload 2.0. will be active, original users’ accounts will be reinstated, even if this move could lead to future legal issues as Megaupload encouraged users to share copyrighted content.

US Department of Homeland Security to use the Blockchain
The US department of Homeland Security (DHS) – the division created after the 9/11 terrorist attacks – talks about the possibility to use the blockchain technology.
First announced in a press release published in December, the DHS announced in June that it awarded a prize of $199,000 to the blockchain startup Factom that aims at using the distributed ledger to ensure the security of cameras that monitor US borders.
How US DHS wants to use the Blockchain
This way the blockchain could be helpful for DHS as it aims at building an identity for devices, or a way to extend the company’s ability to monitoring services and devices.
Data privacy program manager Anil John explained to Coindesk:
“The Factom piece is more along the line of these devices exist, but how do we build a picture of the identity of this device over time? The blockchain could be the catalyst that allow us to document the changes”.
Also, he explained that the company wants to learn more about the potential applications of the blockchain.
“For DHS use cases, the projects we’re funding are focused on proving or disproving that security and privacy can be supported by a blockchain-based infrastructure. It is much broader than IoT and identity.”
To do so, DHS gave funding also to projects such as Solarity Solutions, Respect Network and Digital Bazaar.

Uber accepts Bitcoin in Argentina
The Argentinian department of the ridesharing giant Uber accepts Bitcoin.
To do so, Uber starts a partnership with Xapo, a startup that will help Uber users to accept bitcoin debit cards during their domestic and abroad travels.
This project was announced this week through a Twitter post published by Uber Argentina, even if it has now been deleted for unknown reasons.
Uber accepts Bitcoin to fight against Government
This decision came when Argentinian government blocked Uber credit cards, after a police raid in the houses of the individuals suspected to be connected to the Uber company.
A Xapo spokesperson explained that the company exploits this event to propose its service to Uber, to allow its users to load debit cards with bitcoin.
Anni Rautio, product manager at Xapo, explained:
“This is a win for all local Uber users and drivers, and for Uber as a company, as they are able to continue operations in Argentina through Xapo’s Debit Card. It’s also great news for bitcoin: it’s one step closer to seeing mainstream companies adopt bitcoin.”
This partnership started last week, and Xapo has already experienced a growth in interest for its debit card service.
Even if it is not sure that this news will allow the increase of the use of bitcoin in the country, a local magazine reports that 550,000 users downloaded the ridesharing app.
