Digital Currency Election Guide

Next Tuesday is Election Day in the United States. Where do the top candidates stand on digital currency? Only three candidates will appear on every ballot, and a fourth (Hawkins) will be on enough ballots to potentially win. The candidates are listed alphabetically. Joe Biden: Biden has no formal position on digital currency, other than stating he doesn't own any after his Twitter account was hacked in a bitcoin scam. Members of Biden's Democratic Party have led the charge in Congress to regulate and control digital currencies. Rating: 1 Star. * “I don’t have bitcoin, and I’ll never ask you to send me any." --Joe Biden

Howie Hawkins: The Green Party nominee has called for creating a Monetary Authority that would absorb the Federal Reserve and socialize banks to "create all national currency (cash and electronic)." It is admirable that his platform acknowledges electronic currency, but his plan is very far from being decentralized or private. The Green Party advocates high taxes on everything, including new taxes on cryptocurrencies. Rating: Zero Stars. "All money created under the nationalized Federal Reserve System will be treated as publicly issued money. The private creation of money will cease..." -- Hawkins Platform

Jo Jorgensen: The Libertarian nominee is the only major candidate to openly discuss her support for digital currencies and is the only one accepting digital currency donations. Her party's platform is the only one that embraces digital currencies. Rating 4 Stars. **** "I would act in support of a free market in currencies... I would also appoint commissioners to the CFTC and the SEC who would then seek to deregulate bitcoin and other crypto-assets." -- Jo Jorgensen

Donald Trump: While President Trump has expressed personal skepticism about digital currencies, his policies and actions have been mostly hands-off. Fellow Republicans, like Rep. Brett Guthrie, have sponsored legislation in favor of decentralized finance. Rating: 3 Stars. *** "I am not a fan of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air." --Donald Trump

Nearly 100 million CloudCoins traded

Almost 100 million CloudCoins have traded on the bitcoin.com exchange since the coin launched there just over two weeks ago. Consortium Statistician Mike Bulbuck has tracked the daily volume on the chart below.

RAIDAtech membership offering oversubscribed

The second crowdfund offering for RAIDAtech, the company developing new applications for patented RAIDA protocols, exceeded the $535,000 limit within a week, and is now oversubscribed. Crowdfunding rules require the offering to be open for 21 days, even after the limit has been reached. Investor funds are held in escrow while clearing the AML/KYC process. Once the limit of $535,000 is reached for cleared funds, the remaining funds, if any, will be refunded. The escrow company plans to begin finalizing investments within a week. Investors will receive membership units valued at $1.58 per unit at the discounted price of $1.00 and a premium bonus of 100 CloudCoins per each unit purchased. RAIDAtech was valued by Equidam at $15.8 million, up from $10.7 million 16 months ago, following official issuance of its patent and positive earnings.

You can support CloudCoin on GitHub

CloudCoin founder Sean Worthington invited readers to support the work done by Consortium programmers and developers on GitHub. The number of sponsors has remained steady at close to 30 people.  As Sean previously shared, sponsorship plays an integral role in allowing the Consortium to grow and develop. Some of the current goals of the Consortium are: to complete the task of becoming chartered as a Swiss verein (non-profit association); to be listed on more exchanges; and to continue to raise awareness about CloudCoin and RAIDA. Sean became the first sponsor by pledging $100 per month at GitHub. GitHub is the world's largest suite of tools for open source developers, and becoming part of their sponsorship program is an important step forward. 

Protect RAIDA from hackers as a Guardian

RAIDA Guardians operate proxy servers to make RAIDA more reliable and robust, and Guardians can earn rewards. Guardians are a vital part of CloudCoin's global effort to create a perfect monetary system that will increase the freedom and prosperity of everyone, while helping combat authoritarian governments who rely on currency manipulation for their existence. If you are interested in receiving more information on becoming a Guardian, please sign up here for an invitation to a members-only Telegram group. 

RAIDA Detection Agent program to be enhanced

There are big changes coming for the RAIDA Detection Agent program. Operators of a new "Enhanced Detection Agent" option will not only make the RAIDA network stronger, faster, and more secure, they can also act as cloud storage servers to facilitate programs such as RAIDA DATA and RAIDA MAIL that are being implemented. The enhanced agents will have different hardware and programming. Applications for new Detection Agents are currently on hold as the enhanced storage option is tested and fine-tuned, but to be added to the wait list, you can email here and be among the first to receive information once the new option is implemented. Detection Agent operators earn a portion of network traffic revenues, as well as a bonus paid in CloudCoins. The storage server operators will have additional incentives. Be advised, however, there are a limited number of special "Founders" opportunities available and there are now several clients ready to create traffic on the DA network. There is also a referral program where you can become a Detection Agent, with zero licensing fees, simply by referring potential operators. 

Happy Birthday Mitch Kapor

EFF is a staunch and and effective advocate of protecting online privacy, free speech and innovation.
