Adds Cryptocurrency Wallet
The latest version of the Opera for
Android will introduce a built-in
cryptocurrencywallet. This means that Opera’s 322 million user
base will all own a crypto-wallet. There will be no additional apps
needed to use ETH, ERC-20 tokens or ERC-721 tokens. The developers
plan to add support for additional cryptocurrencies such as BTC in
the future. “Our hope is that this will accelerate the transition
of cryptocurrencies from speculation and investment to being used
for actual payments and transactions in our users’ daily lives.” -
Charles Hamel, Opera Cryptocurrency wallet Product Lead
Replacing Ad-Income With
Cryptocurrency Mining
For the most part, accessing users’
computing power to mine cryptocurrencies has been of a malicious
nature. Mining programs can even be integrated into malware that
affects computers without the owner's knowledge. However, it’s
generally easy to tell when this has happened because mining
cryptocurrencies will take almost all the computing power of a
normal computer, causing all other functions to run extremely
slowly. Recently the torrent website The Pirate Bay has stated they
will use visitors' processing power to mine crypto in order to
replace the revenue lost by taking advertisements off the website.
A disclaimer was added to the homepage: "by entering TPB you agree
to [XMR] being mined using your CPU. If you don't agree please
leave now or install an adBlocker." Another example of this
voluntary process was actually used for a good cause. The United
Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) asks users to leave
their page open to mine, but proceeds are given to the
charity.
New Stablecoin Pegged to
EURO
The stablecoin will provide a
trustworthy for cryptocurrency stability while also enabling a free
off-chain transfer of assets via the STASIS blockchain. The token,
EURIS, became available for purchase on the London-based
exchange DSX on July 4. “EURIS allows you this kind of
flexibility to execute transactions immediately in a transparent
manner. Our reserves are verified daily so every investor will have
confidence that the tokens issued are backed up” - Gregory Klumov,
CEO of STASIS
