Bitcoin - a case of painting the tape?
by Mbugua Njihia 14 Dec '17

14 Dec '17

I am of the opinion that once an enduring and advanced trend is spotted, the early adopter opportunity is long gone and the long tail remains one of minimal or zero return on risk or investment taken. ‘Painting the tape is a form of market manipulation whereby market players attempt to influence the price of a security by buying and/or selling it among themselves so as to create the appearance of substantial trading activity in the security. Two common objectives among market manipulators of painting the tape are to lure unsuspecting investors into a security, or achieve a high closing price for it. Unusual trading volume in a security may attract investors to it. Cabals of market manipulators who have painted the tape in a security generally expect to make significant profits by offloading their holdings in it – which are usually acquired at much lower prices – to investors unaware of the stock manipulation. These investors are literally left “holding the bag” once the manipulation ceases and the stock declines steeply in price. High closing activity attempts to create an artificial price for a security by boosting its price substantially at market close, since closing prices are widely reported in the media and are closely watched by investors. Since most portfolios and securities are valued on the basis of their closing prices, manipulators use this tactic to achieve a higher market value for their holdings rather than their intrinsic worth' http://www.mbuguanjihia.com/business/cryptocurrency-value-proof-work.html *Regards,* Mbugua Njihia Entrepreneur in pursuit of opportunities without regard to resources currently controlled #WhatIsNext #AfricaRising.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kwasi Gachie <kwasi(a)codeforafrica.org> Date: 6 December 2017 at 16:18 Subject: [HacksHackers NBO] RE: AfricanCOMMONS needs you! To: HacksHackers Nairobi <hackshackers-nairobi(a)googlegroups.com> Greetings from the Hacks/ Hackers Nairobi Community, AfricanCOMMONS needs you! Code for Africa is building an online platform to showcase re-useable Civic Tech tools built across Africa and the people & organisations building them and we realise the best way to do this is to get your input. The AfricanCOMMONS project aims to be Africa's premier online hub for open source tools and organisations from across the continent to showcase their work in the civic tech space. Civic software solutions to pressing developmental challenges already exist elsewhere in the world, and often simply need be customised or adapted to local requirements. Locally developed software solutions are also appropriate for reuse elsewhere on the continent, and the wider world. The challenge is discovery: end-user organisations and technologists are seldom aware of existing solutions elsewhere and/or struggle to find credible recommendations that are sensitive to local operational requirements. Find out more about what Civic Tech entails and it's growth in Nairobi *here <https://medium.com/code-for-africa/nairobi-a-civic-tech-metropolis-746e4225…>.* If you have any projects you are working on or know about that you feel should be included in our AfricanCOMMONS project please fill in *this spreadsheet <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GykfqSTxxhXbzszjOrBFuWNruqDXBNiDQNH…> *with details about the civic tech initiative and/or organisation. *AfricanCOMMONS is a joint initiative of *Code for Africa <https://web.facebook.com/CodeForAfrica/>*, through its local *Code for Tanzania <https://codefortanzania.org/>* chapter, and the *World Bank*, in partnership with a coalition of local civil society organisations, with additional support from the *International Center for Journalists <http://www.icfj.org/>*(ICFJ).* -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "HacksHackers Nairobi" group.

Ethiopian surveillance, powered by Israeli Companies
by Mose Karanja 07 Dec '17

07 Dec '17

Hello KICTANet. The Citizen Lab has published the latest of its investigation on surveillance in Ethiopia. This report describes how Ethiopian dissidents in Kenya, the US, UK, and other countries were targeted with emails containing sophisticated commercial spyware posing as Adobe Flash updates and PDF plugins. Targets include a US-based Ethiopian diaspora media outlet, the Oromia Media Network (OMN), a PhD student, and a lawyer. During the course of our investigation, one of the authors of this report was also targeted. From the Ethiopian lead, several other African countries (Rwanda, Zambia, Nigeria etc) have been pinned as using the same product - or at least the company has ongoing demonstrations or tutorials. Ethiopia experienced massive protests across the country last year, the bulk of which came from the Oromo Community. It is interesting to note how where the Internet shutdowns stopped in the country, surveillance picked up. Read the report here: https://citizenlab.ca/2017/12/champing-cyberbit-ethiopian-dissidents-target… <https://citizenlab.ca/2017/12/champing-cyberbit-ethiopian-dissidents-target…>
