ACCENTURE AWARDED PATENT FOR 'EDITABLE BLOCKCHAIN' TECHNOLOGY

Accenture has been awarded a patent tied to its work on an "editable blockchain."

First unveiled last year, the professional services firm sought to create a permissioned blockchain that would allow parties to alter data in the event of errors or fraud. It was a move that stoked criticism from some observers, including some who questioned why a distributed database would be needed if not for its tamper-resistant characteristics.

However, the full patent filing details how the system might work in practice. Depending on the circumstances, a secret that controls the key may be held by one or many parties. In some cases, multiple individuals could possess parts of a secret, meaning the whole group would have to sanction any access to the ledger.

When contacted for comment, David Treat, managing director in Accenture's blockchain practice, said that the firm's work as it relates to the editable blockchain concept has "[focused] on the challenge of how to 'fix things when they go wrong'," in order to help mature the technology.

He Said:

"This invention adds to that set of options, particularly for on-chain data structures, and we're excited about the patent approval. Our overall goal is to leverage DLT innovations to make the technology viable for enterprise IT use."

Treat said that the company is still in the development face, explaining that work continues to "enhance the prototype." He also floated the possibility of the company ultimately making the tech open-source.

"We have had strong industry interest and have had several requests to open-source the capability which we're considering," he said.

The value of Bitcoin exceeds $ 4,000, and the Crypto market reaches $ 140 billion

The bitcoin price broke past $4,000 on Wednesday, headlining another generally-positive day for the crypto markets. Few cryptocurrencies made eye-catching movements, but most made moderate progress to extend the early-week market recovery. Altogether, the markets added another $4 billion, bringing their combined capitalization above the $140 billion threshold.

The total cryptocurrency market cap began the day at $136.1 billion. It spent most of the day on an incline, eventually reaching $141.8 billion at the time of writing. The crypto market cap has grown by about $10 billion since the start of the week, potentially indicating that traders are adjusting to the post-China bitcoinexchange ban environment.

Bitcoin Price Punches Through $4,000 :

Bitcoin headlined the market advance with a march past $4,000. The bitcoin price had been trading at this level a week ago but had succumbed to downward pressure leading into the weekend, eventually reaching a weekly low of $3,555 on September 22. However, it reversed course after reaching that mark and began to scale the charts once again. Wednesday morning, bitcoin broke through $4,000 and has continued to climb, bringing its present value to $4,074. This translates into a $67 billion market cap.

One factor influencing bitcoin’s continued climb is the continued development of Asian cryptocurrency infrastructure following China’s hostile stance toward order-book exchanges. Both South Korea and Japan are expected to fill the void left by Chinese bitcoin exchange giants such as OKCoin, Huobi, and BTCC. To that end, a popular Korean messaging platform has announced plans to create a major cryptocurrency exchange, while NXC–a Korean holding company for the $10 billion Japanese gaming firm Nexon–has just purchased a majority stake in Korbit, Korea’s second-largest bitcoin exchange.

GOLD DEALER SHARPS PIXLEY ACCEPT BITCOIN

A well-known gold dealer based in London is now accepting bitcoin payments for its precious metal products.

The company, Sharps Pixley, announced on September 26 that it would begin accepting the cryptocurrency through a partnership with payments processor startup BitPay.

In statements, representatives from the firm framed the move as a way to offer wealthier clientele a way to invest in gold using their cryptocurrency holdings instead of fiat money.

"It is our view that many investors in Bitcoin would like the option of holding intrinsic value in a traditional safe haven asset like gold, and be able to switch across in a simple and cost effective way. That avenue is now open to them," said Ross Norman, the firm's chief executive.

The Sharps Pixley brand dates back to the 18th century, though it has changed hands several times over the decades, including a period during which Deutsche Bank had ownership. Its current owner, Degussa Goldhandel, opened a high-end showroom in London last year.

Since its inception, bitcoin has attracted significant interest among gold dealers (and their customers) - though some notable investors in the precious metal aren't so keen on cryptocurrency. Bitcoin's underlying technology, blockchain, is also being leveraged to create new kinds of gold trading systems, including one in development under the auspices of the U.K.'s Royal Mint.

SHOWTIME WEBSITES USED TO MINING CRYPTOCURRENCY IN THE SHADOW

American TV network Showtime has been forced to remove code from two of its websites that secretly mined the privacy oriented cryptocurrency monero on visitors' computers, according to reports.

Gizmodo and The Register both indicate that two websites run by Showtime – the eponymous Showtime.com, as well as ShowtimeAnytime.com – had concealed code for CoinHive, a JavaScript-based monero miner. Originally intended as a way for websites to generate income without having to utilize ads, in this case the software appears to have been used to covertly draw upon the computing power of unsuspecting site visitors.

BleepingComputer, which covers cybersecurity topics, has detailed the inner workings of the situation. As the site highlights, it's not clear at this time who, exactly, inserted the code onto the Showtime websites. Neither is it certain how long the code was live on the Showtime sites. The code was spotted over the weekend and was removed by the firm Monday.

Thus far, Showtime hasn't commented publicly on the news, and a representative for the network declined to comment when contacted by many professional website.

The developments are notable given the public profile of Showtime, which is owned by U.S. media giant CBS Corporation. It also comes days after torrent website The Pirate Bay sparked criticism for (in this case, voluntarily) live-testing a JavaScript-based monero miner.
