The Urge to Crypto Mine May Give Rise to Crime

The news from all over the world has been telling a different story towards the rising crime activities in order to mine the cryptocurrencies relaying on blockchain technologies. Every change has two aspects of it, one that gives immense benefits and the other is a myth breaker and lets you in the dark reality. The reason for the talk of the other side of the coin is the hacking of servers for bitcoin mining purposes in order to increase the incentives earned by the miners for maximizing their blocks. Let us not make vague assumptions and take a look at the news that depicts the origin of a different crime category in cybercrimes.

• Russian scientist arrested for crypto mining

Now one might wonder there is no ban on mining so why did the Russian scientist got arrested well the mining of rewards you with bitcoins and one can buy almost everything with this currency. The scientist used the supercomputers for mining which denied private access and the security system figured the unwanted activities.

• Hijacking UK government Computers for mining

The hackers have hijacked up to 4700 websites worldwide to power the mining of cryptocurrencies. The hackers always find a smart way but with unethical means, in this case, they planted the virus named coinhive into the software that was used by the websites in the UK and on every click the officials and students made, it would redirect the access of the users' device to the hacker's computer. Doing this would slow down the users' device speeds including laptops, mobile phones and of course computer. This power is used by the hackers for crypto mining which generates new cryptocurrency as the reward for them and later can be withdrawn as real money.

• Japenese cryptocurrency exchange hacked and lost $500 Million

The Japenese cryptocurrency exchange named coinheck saw a transaction to an unknown hot wallet, a storage wallet through the internet. This was a local wallet and the transaction took place at 3 a.m. The total loss faced by the exchange was $58 billion yen although the transactions were the attempt to steal was made by the hackers.

The above latest hacks of 2018 calls for some cybersecurity measures by the lawmakers, the researchers, and the coders. The most widely used Internet-based power devices are Smartphone and the accessibility is easy, therefore mobile app development companies can be next stop for hackers to party. Introducing a hacker app to drain the power of mobile phones can be one possibility to use this power for cryptocurrency mining and what not?

To wrap up

Although the creators might have passed the mathematical function through all sort of hacks possible the hackers are as capable as the creators, they eventually found a way to crack those codes and the only way to stop is to prepare for the risk and come up with a safety net for cryptocurrency by the entire community may it be mobile app developers , IT professionals or scientists. The unethical hackers have already originated crime against cryptocurrencies so a common man should invest in cryptocurrency or not? This can only be witnessed over time and till then if you want a security mobile app to secure your payment gateways contact Fluper.

Insta users will soon able to track time spent on the app

Wakey! Wakey! Insta addicts. The application is kicking in a new feature "time spent" for its users to track the time spent on Instagram which will go by the name usage Insights in the slide menu of the application which will probably put a reality check to many. This move is tricky as why would Instagram do this there is a possibility that the daily active users on Instagram will reduce hence, the popularity of the app might be compromised but this isn't a rumor in the mobile app development circuit as the CEO Kevin Systrom himself tweeted by saying 

“We're building tools that will help the IG community know more about the time they spend on Instagram – any time should be positive and intentional” 

So the Instagram is really worried about their user's health than the revenue and statistics of their business which may also work in the favor of the company and people incline more towards Instagram than snapchat as the war is always on between the two. Mobile app developers do not intend to roll out apps to develop bad habits by their users rather they just try to make their life interesting by giving the ease of living with technology like internet which is run by no one. 

Do all developers pledge to safeguard the mental health of their users?

The developers somewhere are aware of the possible drawbacks one might face with the application usage and with social media apps, there have been reports about trolling and excessive usage by children everywhere which may not seem much right now but the addition of the same is hampering the health of the teenagers. 

"Usage Insights” is an admirable attempt by Instagram through which not only the users would know how much time they have spent on the app but also the parents will be able to track the activities of the juvenile to warn them in time before they indulge themselves into the bad habits without encountering the after effects. Rest of the developer's community in iOS and Android app development should be influenced and make efforts to introduce one such feature in the application that deals with the harmful side effect caused to the users through an app in long term.

The feature has not been experienced by many yet but seems to have embedded into the code of the app for android platform. One more sneak out came about the Instagram updates along with the usage insight feature which is the emoji bar in the commenting section of the application and at Google I/O the Android time management tool also indicates that the feature is not a myth or marketing strategy. 

This new feature will definitely create a buzz on Instagram with users trying to handle it in different ways. Some might have a good laugh by posting the stats of their usage in the stories, some might have a setback with a reality check this feature might bring to their life and for the people who work on social media platform to promote their business can provide the hours spend promoting in their report at the end of the day. Scrolling like Zombies without any productivity is neither healthy nor sustainable. Therefore the measure taken by the technology experts seems like not just a concern for the mental well being of the users but also a long-term strategy to keep the popularity of the app intact. Fluper being the mobile app developer is highly influenced by this and endeavors to preach the same among its developer's community.

* Read and Write the Text file
A text file is a single string or a series if string of the app data in the memory of the device. In swift, one can follow the oldest method for the same through CSV files.

* Use iPad Playground for Mapkit

An iOS app definitely requires the Map API for most of the enterprise apps and with the Mapkit it is easy to pin down local routes, artworks and setting visible area.

* Explore the Xcode 9 simulator

Xcode 9 provides a better developer experience than the previous ones such as the Full-screen view of the simulator window, recording video of the simulator, opening multiple simulators and open URLs on the simulator. So choose the latest Xcode version for designing a brand new idea based iOS app.

* Layout for the app

Auto layout by Apple makes the design of the application easy for different platforms such as the size and shape of the app automatically adjusts according to the device used whether an iPhone or iPad.

Map Annotation is a familiar word for an iOS developer who loves to develop GPS enabled apps as it lets the developer mark the place on the map. If you wish to go with the pinpointing of the location that's fine too but the iOS 11 lets you mark the location so why not move with the updates. 

* The ability of an app to read JSON files 

While using a website data for your app one should code the app to read the JSON files to use the result for meeting the objective of the iOS mobile app.

* Drag and Drop using Pasteboard

Pasteboard in iOS is used for various functions such as copy-paste data, and drag-drop. This inbuilt function of iOS enables the developer to initiate the exchange of data between the writer object and reader object. Using private paste boards will not allow the copy and paste of the data once the app is exited.

The mysterious new X phone has been loaded with the most exotic features ever to be inducted in any phone. The two other phones are basic upgrades to the previous iPhones 7 & 7 plus.

Regarding the name, if you suspected the phone to be named against its tenth anniversary then you guessed it most close. The iPhone is the most successful product of Apple and the most sales driving product. Hence naming it X makes sense.

The credit for bringing out the name of the latest iPhone goes to the 9to5Mac.

The exciting features that are making the customers crazy are be the O LED screen, Face ID in place of the finger print sensor, edges reaching 5.8 inch screen with adjustments for earpiece, sensors and camera. The Samsung’s like side screen is also suspected to be the latest addition to the spectacular features of the phone.

The purchasers must be worried about the new iPhone with the touch ID cum home button removed. To their concerns the new phone is said to be featuring new gesture controls to navigate through menus and phone. This should be considered a woe to the users who will have to learn about the various gestures that are sounding alike.

Animoji is another important feature which allows users to convert their facial expressions into emoji. This is a development over the AR feature before its initiation.

To augment the performance of the latest iPhones the company has incorporated a family of six cores processor chip. This comes as a surprise to all since all the previous iPhones only had two active cores at a single time. While this time all the six cores are alleged to be running at the same time as per engadget.

While these leaks have always been annoyance to Apple and every tech company, these leaks also turn on the excitement of the customers as well. There were reports that the leaks were the actions a rogue Apple employee but BBC has confirmed that the links and URLs sent to it were from an anonymous sender. 

Summarizing: The center stage which was occupied by iPhone 8 and AR enabled iPhone app development has been grabbed by the recent leak of iPhone X. The iPhone X which was nowhere heard has taken all the customers by storm.

Apart iPhones, the company is also launching Apple Watch and TV which are also scheduled on 12th September’s launch. Samsung’s also launching the new Note 8. The competition will be Clash of the Titans.
