January 14th, 2016 by
Madiou The continent of Africa makes up 6% of the earth’s land surface, with 30 islands. Its area covers 415,873 square kilometers (258,411 miles). With over 1.1 billion inhabitants in 2014, the 55 countries of Africa represented 16% of the world’s population.

It's like playing cards with your brother's kids. (That's a *Lampoon Vacation* reference.) Bart makes buzzword attacks on Bitcoin. The cartoon Bart and this Bart have the overuse of buzzwords very much in common. Zasha, a local bitcoiner with a more rational skepticism, brings sanity to the conversation. Read More -

The Ether Review #11: Free My Vunk!
January 8th, 2016 by Legendface66 Free My Vunk is a movement to port game items and assets into the blockchain. The goal is to give control of hard-won, in-game rewards entirely to the players themselves. On the surface, this seems like a simple, maybe even mundane use case, but the significance a gamer may attach to a specific achievement can be a real source of economic value. We see this in phenomena like World of Warcraft gold mining and character sale. Read More -
The Africoin Report: The Financial Consequence of Centralisation
January 8th, 2016 by
Goefells South Africa is infamous for being one of the longest-running modern-day governments to legalise racial separation, called apartheid, in many facets of everyday life. Only in 1994 were black South Africans able to vote for the first time to change the leadership of the country. The African National Congress (ANC) party overwhelmingly won the election in 1994, and became the first democratically elected government South Africa had ever seen. The saddening realisation is that it has seemingly followed every other African liberation movement — it's the only post-apartheid government South Africa has ever had, and the political rot is bringing the country into ruin.
