What Is Payvo Wallet?
Payvo Wallet is a desktop-based multi-asset cryptocurrency wallet designed for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. While many wallets already exist on the market, Payvo is unique in that it is completely open-source, runs on the open-source Payvo SDK for multi-asset integration, and features a wide range of customizations that let you truly personalize your wallet experience.

#A Truly Open Wallet
The Payvo Wallet is fully open-source and will be available on GitHub. The Payvo SDK which powers the multi-asset nature of Payvo is also completely open-source and available on GitHub. We believe that the best way to push the industry forward is to build fully open-source and decentralized systems with no compromises.

By utilizing the Payvo SDK, we can integrate a wide range of different cryptoassets and tokens which will be seamlessly integrated with the entire Payvo suite of products. To find out how you can get your project added to the Payvo SDK, make sure to read our documentation .

#Powered by Choice
The Payvo Wallet is unique in that it was built to empower the user by giving them a plethora of options to customize their wallet. That includes but is not limited to:

Choice of Assets - Payvo Wallet is multi-asset and will feature a growing list of available native assets and tokens.
Choice of Swap Engine (Exchanges) - Payvo Wallet will feature a wide range of swap engine integrations so that the user can choose which one works the best for them.
Choice of Plugins - Payvo Wallet comes will a fully functioning Plugin Manager that allows you to extend the functionality of the wallet to include Games, Explorers, Staking Calculators, and more.
We believe that your crypto wallet shouldn't be one-size-fits-all. Payvo Wallet is built from the ground up to truly give the user a custom experience through the power of choice.

#Public Alpha Details
The Initial 'Alpha' version of Payvo Wallet will be released in the upcoming weeks on our Discord . This will be a community-only release to get valuable feedback, get suggestions for improvements and fix all reported bugs.

Tezos price refuels buying pressure triggering 55% bull rally

October 30, 2021 Harry DeVries 0 Comments



Tezos price has been on a steady downtrend since October 4 and is currently retesting a vital demand zone. Investors can expect XTZ to restart its uptrend after a successful bounce off this barrier.

Tezos price prepares to pull a 180
Tezos price dropped 37% over the past 23 days and is currently bouncing off the $5.33 to $5.95 demand zone. Although this dip has rejuvenated the bullish momentum for XTZ, it needs to produce a decisive close above $6.75 to confirm the start of an uptrend.

Assuming Tezos price succeeds in flipping this hurdle into a support floor, it will result in a 25% ascent to $8.44. While this is a formidable barrier to overcome, clearing it will open the path to a retest of the October 4 swing high at $9.17.

The 100% trend-based Fibonacci extension level at $10.42 is the next level bulls will aim for. In a highly bullish case, Tezos price might even climb to 161.8% level at $14.1.

Regardless of the optimism around Tezos price, a breakdown of the $5.33 to $5.95 demand zone would be a warning sign. This move will drag XTZ down by 12% to the $4.68 support floor. A decisive daily close below this barrier will invalidate the bullish thesis for Tezos price, opening the possibility of revisiting $3.88.

El Salvador mines first bitcoins from volcanic energy

October 02, 2021 Harry DeVries 0 Comments



El Salvador officially mined its first Bitcoins using a volcano. At the same time, geothermal energy now accounts for about 22% of the country's market.
Previously presented as a concept, the project of mining cryptocurrency using volcanic energy turned out to be a surprisingly viable idea. So much so that today the President of Salvador Nayib Bukele shared on Twitter a photo from the monitor showing the number of cryptocurrencies mined in this way. By that time, it was 0.01083 BTC, of which 0.0048 BTC is already awaiting withdrawal.

The country not only actively uses geothermal energy personally, but is also one of its largest producers in the world. It is generated by 20 volcanoes located in the region, which scientists have described as "potentially active". Given their number, this use of natural power is hardly surprising, although Bukele's resourcefulness still amazes many miners. In addition, such energy is classified as environmentally friendly, so the "green miners" will also have no claims against the country.

On September 28, the president shared a video on his Twitter account, which showed the delivery of equipment in the form of ASIC miners, as well as the process of installing and configuring them. The local energy company LaGeo is directly involved in the project, thanks to whose specialists the country's authorities were able to quickly implement the idea.

According to Bukele, the equipment is still in test mode and they are testing it, but it has already given the first results. Of course, it was not without spiteful critics, because in the comments and retweets people shared the opinion that the president should use a period of at least three hours of equipment operation for reports, while others even joked about the level of "home mining".

Recall that the law on the legalization of Bitcoin in El Salvador entered into force on September 7, and by the 27th of the same month, according to Bukele, 2.1 million residents were using the state-owned Chivo cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin Tips are now available to Twitter users on iOS

October 02, 2021 Harry DeVries 0 Comments



Users of the official Twitter mobile app for iOS can now accept cryptocurrency donations in the Bitcoin equivalent.
This functionality has now become available to the owners of Apple devices. To accept cryptocurrency, the user needs to connect a third-party service to the profile, for example, CashApp. The very possibility of donations in the equivalent of digital currency will be processed through the Lightning Network.

In addition, the team of the popular social network also announced the imminent integration of verification capabilities for non-fungible tokens. This, according to representatives of Twitter, will be one of the key steps in the development of the trend of digitalization of art, a separate type of which are avatars on social networks. However, no specific dates have yet been given for the addition of the NFT verification function.

The ability to send donations in the equivalent of digital currencies will soon appear on Android, but in the case of it, the team also chose not to announce the exact date. Twitter itself does not charge commissions or a percentage of the funds received by content makers. The payment options for "gratuity" will vary from country to country, depending on the region. The exception will be Bitcoin and Lightning, which will be active regardless of the location of the content author or his fan.

We will remind, in June, Jack Dorsey said that the integration of payments in Bitcoins using the Lightning Network "is only a matter of time." In addition, he was among the first to invest $2.5 million in Lightning Labs' kick-off funding round in 2018.
