Japan’s GMO Plans to Sell 7nm Bitcoin Mining Boards Using Token Sale

Japanese internet giant GMO has announced a plan to sell its “next-generation mining boards,” equipped with 7nm ASIC chips through an initial coin offering (ICO) next year.

GMO Planning ICO

Japanese conglomerate GMO Internet announced on Wednesday that its bitcoin mining business will launch an initial coin offering (ICO) next year. The purpose of the token sale is “to sell next-generation mining boards,” the company wrote, stating that:

We will issue tokens as a method to buy next-generation mining boards.

Japan currently has no specific law for regulating ICOs. However, some existing laws may apply to token sales. For example, some of them may be classified as sales of securities and subject to the current securities laws.

“We will consider properly the laws and regulations that are applicable to us under the current legislation including Payment Services Act and the Financial Instrument and Exchange Act,” GMO stated in its announcement. “And [we] will be conscious of the protection of token purchasers and stakeholders’ profits when designing the token sale.”

At the end of September, GMO’s bitcoin exchange subsidiary, GMO Coin, became one of the first eleven bitcoin exchanges to be granted registration by the Financial Services Agency (FSA).

GMO’s Bitcoin Mining Business

GMO is currently developing the 7nm ASIC chip in collaboration with a partner that has semiconductor design technology. The project was first unveiled in September. According to Masatoshi Kumagai, GMO Group president, the company plans to invest 10 billion yen in the next few years on its mining operation as well as the research and development for 7nm, 5nm, and 3.5nm mining chips.

In addition to operating a mining center in Northern Europe, the company will also launch a cloud mining business as well as sell its mining boards equipped with the 7nm mining chips. “Each card will be able to mine at a projected 8 terahashes per second or more with a power consumption of only 300 watts,” Kumagai detailed.

“It will be possible to reduce power consumption compared to the existing mining machines with the same performance, and achieve a computational performance of 10TH/s per chip,” GMO detailed on Wednesday, adding that:

We will launch the mining based on ready-made mining computers by December 31, 2017, which will lead to the full-scale entry into the bitcoin mining business.

“After the launch of the bitcoin mining business, we will also sell our own next-generation mining boards,” GMO’s announcement reiterated.

Wirex and SBI Holdings Partner Up, Prep to Launch Bitcoin Card in Japan

London crypto-payments company Wirex just partnered with Japanese-based SBI Holdings. Their goal is to produce a bitcoin and cryptocurrency payment card for Japanese customers. The partnership is geared to create more mass adoption for cryptocurrencies and break Wirex into the mainstream limelight.

Wirex also has an early start in japan, as it has an initial customer base. Their CEO, Pavel Matveev, elaborated: “Japanese customers are our most enthusiastic supporters and use our VISA-backed cryptocurrency debit card more regularly than anywhere else in the world. They deserve a Yen denominated card soon and we will deliver it to them.”

Formation of the Partnership

The partnership was formed several months after SBI group invested $3 million into Wirex. It appears that SBI Holdings hopes to broaden its influence regarding cryptocurencies and bitcoin. SBI Holdings also intends on gaining more knowledge about digital cryptocurrencies. A Finextra article expanded:

The partnership comes months after SBI Group invested $3 million in Wirex, as the Japanese FS giant seeks to build up its expertise in the DLT and cryptocurrency realm. It has also joined the R3 blockchain consortium, while its securities division has taken part in a distributed ledger pilot with the Japan Exchange, IBM and NRI.

Their partnership sets the stage for further development of the cryptocurrency ecosystem, and more usage by individuals and customers. In aWirex and SBI Holdings Partner Up, Prep to Launch Bitcoin Card in Japanddition, Wirex is working to create their own blockchain and allow for bank transactions and balance inquiries, according to the Finextra article.

Wirex’s Previous Endeavors

Previously, Wirex has already released a virtual cryptocurrency credit card via their mobile application. News.Bitcoin.com covered the story when it Broke in July 2016.

“Now through the Wirex app, users can own a virtual Visa card for free, whichWirex and SBI Holdings Partner Up, Prep to Launch Bitcoin Card in Japan Wirex says normally are valued at $3. The virtual card is redeemable within the app. Virtual cards work just like physical cards, but aren’t tangible and cannot be used in places where a physical card is required.”

Users can fund these credit cards with bitcoin and other altcoins, including Ethereum and Monero.

Wirex was previously called E-Coin. They plan on continuing to grow their services in Japan, and maintain a healthy relationship with SBI Holdings.

Is your wi-fi okay?

The security layer that protects Wi-Fi networks has been cracked by hackers, potentially allowing them to listen to your communications on devices connected to the internet, research published Monday revealed.

WPA2 is a security protocol that protects modern Wi-Fi networks. Hackers have found a way to manipulate the cryptographic elements behind the security, according to Mathy Vanhoef of KU Leuven, a university in Belgium.

The issue is with the security standard itself rather than individual devices, but it can affect those devices that are connected to a Wi-Fi network.

Vanhoef found that operating systems such as Google's Android, Apple's iOS and Microsoft's Windows could all be affected.

So how does it work?

The WPA2 protocol works using a so-called "four-way handshake." The initial part of the handshake takes place when a user puts in the correct password to access a Wi-Fi network. The next step is when a new encryption key is generated to encrypt subsequent traffic.

Hackers are able to manipulate this process through what is known as a key reinstallation attack (KRACK).

"This is achieved by manipulating and replaying cryptographic handshake messages," the researchers wrote.

The research paper does, however, state that an attacker must be within range of a victim.

Who could be affected?

Any device connected to a Wi-Fi network could be affected. But the researchers said that the flaw could be "catastrophic" to a certain version of Linux and "exceptionally devastating" to devices running Android 6.0 and above. Half of the Android devices in circulation are running this version, according to data from Google.

Vanhoef said that he is not sure if this flaw is being exploited currently.

The researcher said vendors of products that were affected were notified around July 14. Vanhoef then disclosed the vulnerability to the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (CERT), which sent out a notification to vendors on Aug. 28.

What should I do now?

Vanhoef said there is no need to change your Wi-Fi password. Instead, it's important to make sure all devices and the firmware of your router are updated.

The researcher also said that people should continue using the WPA2 protocol.

An alert from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Computer Emergency Response Team recommended installing vendor updates on affected products, such as routers provided by Cisco Systems or Juniper Networks.

Microsoft told The Verge that it has released a security update to address the issue, and a Google spokesperson tweeted that Android devices with a security patch level of Nov. 6, 2017, or later are protected. Apple confirmed that it has a fix, currently in beta mode, and the software will be coming to everyone soon.
