 Hello, fellow traveler. You're watching episode 56 of The Daily Decrypt. I'm your faithful servant, Amanda B. Johnson, and today's episode is brought to you by B&C Exchange. The Bitcoin Core Development Team has announced a series of changes they intend to push within the next three to six months. With a stated goal of increasing Bitcoin's processing capacity, the main change will be a soft fork called segregated witness. The nodes running the Bitcoin Core client are currently estimated at 90% of the Bitcoin ecosystem. The first transaction on Bitcoin's newest marketplace layer drop zone has just taken place. A black hat with the words drop zone was sold for $30 worth of Bitcoin and dropped somewhere near Lebanon, Kansas. The buyer reports that the hat seller was quick to make the invoice and has left him an A++ plus rating. Public service announcement time. An email exchange has been published today on Reddit, which shows the exchange BTER having made off with about $30 worth of somebody's cryptocurrency deposit. Reports such as this preceded the massive exit scam of Mt. Gox and what is looking to potentially be another at Cryptsy. The theft reported on Beater regards 34-ish counterparty tokens and you can see them listed for tracking in the blockchain transaction in the description.
