by Will Long | Oct 22, 2018 | Bitcoin, blog, Cryptocurrency, News, Video

The Changelly exchange is one of our favorite crypto exchanges, especially when you need to swap crypto assets fast.

In recent news, they have finally created an Android app for their platform! Many of the writers here at Bitcoin Shirtz use Android over IOS, so this is great news for us. The Changelly exchange is a go-to for us with almost all cryptocurrencies, with the exception of BitShares and STEEM, which in that case we use Blocktrades.us.

From Changelly’s Steemit Page:

Changelly team is happy to announce the launch of the mobile app for all the Android users. The first official version of Changelly mobile app is now launched on Google Play.

The leading instant swap service finally is in your pocket wherever you go. Changelly users no longer have to open the browser on their gadgets every time they want to instantly swap one crypto asset for another. The mobile app represents an adaptive instrument for all the fans of smartphone usability, and offers exactly the same options as the full web version of the service, namely:

exchange one crypto for another in a few minutes via the Changelly

mobile app;

buy any of cryptos listed with a credit card directly from the Changelly mobile app;

explore cryptos listed and real-time rates.

The Benefits

Importantly, Changelly users no longer have to go through the authorization procedure while doing the exchange through the mobile app. The Changelly app users can either undergo verification by choosing the Google account to sign in, or skip the verification step and go straight to the exchange.

The Mobile App Description

In addition to the exchange section, Changelly mobile app includes History section, where the user’s transaction history is placed and Support section, from where the user can send a request to Changelly support team and find the answers to the FAQ.

Changelly mobile app is quite compact and simple in use. It takes up only 8 Mb of the gadget memory and supports the Android versions starting with the version 4.4.

About EOS

Dan Larimer is leading the EOS project as the CTO. He brought many innovations to the distributed ledger scene with BitShares and Steemit and his blockchain advocates say he will do even more impressive things with EOS.

The EOS.IO software introduces a new blockchain architecture designed to enable vertical and horizontal scaling of decentralized applications. This is achieved by creating an operating system-like construct upon which applications can be built. The software provides accounts, authentication, databases, asynchronous communication and the scheduling of applications across hundreds of CPU cores or clusters. The resulting technology is a blockchain architecture that scales to millions of transactions per second, eliminates user fees, and allows for quick and easy deployment of decentralized applications.

The EOS blockchain project is currently running a year long ICO (initial coin offering). The first 20% of tokens were released during the first five days of the ICO. Another 70% of the token supply will be distributed in equal amounts everyday over the remainder of the year. Each day you can participate in the ICO window and purchase EOS. The last 10% of tokens are being held by EOS.

Coinbase Will Support More Cryptocurrencies In 2017

by Will Long | Jan 19, 2017 | Bitcoin, News

It has been announced. The US based Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange, Coinbase will support more cryptocurrencies in 2017!

Co-founder and CEO at Coinbase, Brian Armstrong, announced the news in a recent blog post:

“As we kick off 2017, I think it’s important for Coinbase and GDAX to continue supporting more crypto currencies. We are no longer just a Bitcoin company. We are a digital currency company.”

He went on.

“It’s incredibly difficult to predict the future and the digital currency industry is no exception…Rapid change seems to be the only certainty. For this reason, you’ll see Coinbase and GDAX continue to support more crypto-currencies in 2017. As the most popular retail exchange (Coinbase) and institutional exchange in the U.S. (GDAX), we want to make it easy for people to use all types of digital currencies.”

“I think an open payment network is where the greatest potential lies for digital currency to improve the world (hence our mission at Coinbase: to create an open financial system for the world). But I’ve come to accept that Bitcoin may not fill this role, and that is ok. It is still a very valuable technology in the world as an asset class, and that is perfectly fine”

“Our goal going forward is to not play favorites, or support one digital currency more than any other, but simply to make it easy for customers to buy and sell whatever digital currencies they want. In this way, we can help support growth of the entire digital currency industry”

It is clear that the crypto industry is still in it’s infancy. And it is good that the people at Coinbase realize this.

Bitcoin is not the end all be all. Ethereum is shaping up to be a competitor, but the market will bring many more blockchain based currencies to fruition. Coinbase is prepping to provide more value to a larger number of people. We commend them for this.
