Popular Crypto Issue 13 – Nayuta's Hybrid Lightning Mobile Wallet

Welcome to Issue 13 of Popular Crypto, a newsletter about the mainstream products and services taking crypto to the masses.

In this issue:

  • Nayuta releases a hybrid full-node/SPV Lightning mobile wallet 
  • Ethereum (ETH) completes its Istanbul hard fork
  • SoftBank launches a crypto-enabled payment card
  • Bakkt debuts Bitcoin (BTC) options and cash-settled futures

We also cover Deutsche Bank’s “Imagine 2030” report which predicts the end of fiat money and the rise of cryptocurrencies.

All that and more in this week’s issue. But first, here’s some…

🚀 Updates From Nomics

  • Nomics Update #1: We’ve taken our raw, gapless historical trade data to the next level by enabling historical exchange, aggregated pair, and aggregated OHLCV candles for all intervals from inception. As before, each candle is built from the bottom up with primary source trade execution information.
  • Nomics Update #2: More API news… It’s now possible to specify a convert parameter when calling the Volume History endpoint. By default, volume history is returned in USD, but you can choose convert=EUR, convert=BTC, or any fiat or cryptocurrency listed on Nomics. For more, check out the API docs.
  • Nomics Update #3: On the Markets tab for each cryptoasset on Nomics, we list trading pairs on every exchange that has integrated with us. For each pair/exchange, we now include the market ID, the pair’s identifier on the exchange. We’ve also added the type of market: Derivative or Spot. See the screenshot (below) or try a real live Markets tab.
Market IDs
  • Nomics Update #4: We’re also pleased to announce our new webinar portal. We regularly hold in-depth webinars with leaders in the crypto space, and we always give plenty of notice, but not everyone has time to listen in the middle of the day. No longer a problem – we’ve got all the replays in the same place.
  • Nomics Update #5: Flippening episode #64, The Evolution of Crypto-Backed Loans, is live on our blog. In the episode, we talk with Antoni Trenchev, co-founder and Managing Director at Nexo (NEXO), a provider of instant crypto-backed loans and high-yield savings products. We cover the Nexo product line, the history of crypto-backed lending, and the future of the space.

.@NexoFinance co-founder and Managing Partner @AntoniNexo on how the company was founded to help people unlock liquidity without selling their #bitcoin.

  • 0x (ZRX) releases v3 to unlock shared liquidity pools across exchanges and value stored in DeFi contracts

All that and more in this week’s issue. But first, here’s some…

🚀 Updates From Nomics

  • Nomics Update #1: Crypto exchange SparkDEX has completed a Deep Data Integration with Nomics and is now an A+ verified exchange (i.e. they have an A+ Transparency rating on our cryptocurrency exchange index page and our market data API).
  • Nomics Update #2: Our embeddable cryptocurrency pricing widget is up and running in the wild. It’s fast, completely mobile responsive, and insanely flexible. You can quote a cryptocurrency in any fiat or cryptocurrency you like.  For example, you could quote a cryptocurrency in a major fiat currency like USD or Euros, or you could use your local fiat currency, which may be less commonly traded. Let’s quote Cardano (ADA) in Mexican pesos.

Mouse along to see how many pesos it took to buy ADA 4 hours ago, 12 hours ago, 24 hours ago, etc.  For more on the widget and how to use it, see here.

  • Nomics Update #3: This week we held a webinar with Rob Paone, a.k.a. “Crypto Bobby”, founder of Proof of Talent, a boutique recruiting firm that serves the blockchain and crypto industries.  We discussed the evolving nature of the job market from the points of view of job seekers and employers. Catch the replay here.

  • Nomics Update #4: We held another webinar the week of Thanksgiving. We met up with Brantly Millegan, Director of Operations for Ethereum Name Service (ENS), a system that enables users to register human-readable addresses for sending money or interacting with Ethereum (ETH) smart contracts. For example, “0x4cbe58c50480…” could be changed to “alice.eth.” In our discussion, Brantly explained how ENS is helping to create a new, decentralized web. Replay here.

We cover everything from the prehistory of decentralized exchange, to DEXs in 2019 and the future of the space.

Announcing Nomics’ Embeddable Cryptocurrency Pricing Widget

Announcements · November 22, 2019

Embeddable Cryptocurrency Pricing Widget

We’re pleased to announce that our new embeddable cryptocurrency pricing widget is up and running in the wild.  It’s not only the fastest crypto pricing widget around, but it’s also mobile responsive and insanely flexible. 

Unprecedented Flexibility

By default, the widget displays live charts and prices in terms of US Dollars (USD), but you can quote a cryptocurrency in any fiat or cryptocurrency you like.  For example, you could quote Bitcoin (BTC) in a major fiat currency like USD, Euros or Japanese Yen, or you could use your local fiat currency, which may be less commonly traded.

Mouse along the chart to check how many Uruguayan pesos it took to buy Bitcoin 4 hours ago, 12 hours ago, 24 hours ago, etc.

You can also quote a cryptocurrency in terms of another cryptocurrency. Let’s try LTC/DOGE.

Whichever currencies you choose, you get a live price chart and an array of real-time indicators, each of which is expressed in terms of your quote currency.  These indicators include 1) current price, 2) percentage changes in price over the past 24 hours, week, month and year, 3) market cap ranking, 4) transparent trading volume, 5) trading volume, 6) price as a percentage of the all-time high (ATH), and 7) market cap.

Tons of Real-Time Indicators

For the current price and its percentage change over the past 24 hours, check out the top right corner.  

ChainLink (LINK) prices

Percentage changes in price over the past Week, Month, and Year are listed across first row beneath the live price chart.  The final item of the first row is Rank, which, in the case of the above screenshot, is #14.  At the moment the screenshot was taken, ChainLink (LINK) was #14 in the cryptocurrency market cap rankings.  Market cap, or market capitalization, is a cryptocurrency’s total number of coins or tokens multiplied by the value of each in a given quote currency.

The first two items in the second row are Transparent Volume and Volume. To understand transparent volume, it may be helpful to define volume.  Put simply, volume is the amount of a cryptocurrency that is being traded across the world’s cryptocurrency exchanges.  Transparent volume is the slice of that volume occurring on exchanges that have received an A+, A, or A- transparency rating from Nomics.  These highly-rated exchanges are deemed transparent or trustworthy because they’ve provided Nomics with high-granularity trade data, including full histories for each trading pair.  For more on transparent volume, see this essay.

Continuing along the second row, the next item after Transparent Volume and Volume is ATH, or all-time high.  Here, ATH expresses a cryptocurrency’s value as a percentage of the highest it ever was.  Take XLM/USD as an example:

Stellar (XLM) ATH

Considering the price history of Stellar, 5.99 cents per Lumen is pretty low.  According to the widget, it’s just 7% of the ATH price. To get the ATH price, simply mouse over the indicator.  You’ll see that at one point, Stellar was worth nearly 90 cents per Lumen!

After ATH comes our final real-time indicator, Mkt Cap or market cap, which we previously defined as a cryptocurrency’s total number of coins or tokens multiplied by the value of each in a given quote currency.  Let’s take another look at LTC/DOGE.

LTC/DOGE Market Cap

According to the widget, Litecoin’s market cap – expressed in Dogecoins – is 1.38 trillion DOGE.  Whether anyone would need to know that is immaterial.  The point is that our cryptocurrency pricing widget offers unprecedented flexibility.  There are many situations that would call for evaluating a cryptocurrency in terms of something other than commonly-traded fiat currencies like USD, EUR, and JPY.

How to Embed the Cryptocurrency Pricing Widget

To get your very own embeddable cryptocurrency pricing widget, visit our widget builder at https://widget.nomics.com/ or click on the “widget” tab while viewing any cryptocurrency on Nomics.com.

BTC Widget tab

If you use the widget builder, you can set the quote and base currencies.  If you’re on the “widget” tab of a cryptocurrency, that cryptocurrency will be the base.  You just choose how to quote it.

Once you’re happy with your choices, click “COPY CODE”, select a spot in your website’s HTML to embed the widget, and paste.  Cryptoasset projects often place our widget in the sidebar, but it also works well front and center on a homepage. It’s mobile responsive, so it really looks great everywhere. Seriously. Shrink your browser window and see what happens to ADA/ETH (below).

Meanwhile, if you have any support issues, feature requests, or comments, let us know on our forums.

Conclusion

We encourage you to visit the widget builder and play around with different base and quote currencies.  If your cryptoasset project requires more than one combination, feel free to embed multiple widgets on your site.

Though our embeddable cryptocurrency pricing widget has only been around for a short time, it has already found fans in every corner of the Cryptoverse.  We’re not surprised. Our widget loads quickly, it’s completely mobile responsive, and it’s available for every asset on Nomics.com.
