http:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/ethereum-decentralized-app-network-launch\/<\/a><\/div>\n
Ethereum promises to do for contracts what Bitcoin has done for payments, and its release marks a new frontier in crypto\/bitcoin 2.0. In fact, Ethereum\u2019s launch product was called \u2018Frontier\u2019 and along with an ingenious open source method for generating the genesis block, Ethereum<\/a> has started its decentralized app network. Many have complained that the bare-bones, command line interface of the release is unnecessarily elitist and keeps the network small and limited to those with extensive technical know-how. Ethereum notably raised $18 million USD in late 2014, and is now on its way.<\/div>\n

Proposed California Bitcoin Regulation Moves Forward In Better Light Than BitLicense<\/div>\n
https:\/\/coincenter.org\/2015\/07\/california-updated-its-digital-currency-legislation-and-it-looks-great\/<\/a><\/div>\n
AB 1326, which is making its way through the California legislative process currently, has gotten a vote of approval from Bitcoin regulatory lobbying firm Coin Center. After receiving constructive criticism from Coin Center, the bill was amended to specify exactly that only companies holding customers\u2019 funds need a license. Coin Center has a set state digital currency framework that it hopes to promote in each state. They, and the Bitcoin community, believe that companies that don\u2019t hold customers\u2019 funds should be free to innovate with the blockchain or a blockchain.<\/div>\n

Former Reddit Employee Creating a New Decentralized Media Platform<\/div>\n
http:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/news\/114785\/ryan-x-charles-is-building-a-decentralized-reddit-and-would-love-collaborators<\/a><\/div>\n
A former employee of Reddit, Ryan X. Charles, plans to create a new app featuring a blockchain that would function like Reddit but be truly decentralized, getting rid of as many third parties as possible. Charles was initially hired by Reddit in 2015 to work on some sort of Reddit token; however, in the upper management tumult that rocked Reddit recently, Charles was let go and his project scrapped. Charles commented: \u201cI\u2019ve collaborated with a lot of other people to produce some of the fundamental software necessary to make a decentralized reddit. […] It\u2019s not done yet and there is no prototype, but I would love to find collaborators to build something concrete.\u201d<\/i><\/div>\n
