In Argentina, the Ibero-American Blockchain and Cybersecurity Network (RIBCi) was inaugurated, a pioneering initiative that emerged in the city of Córdoba and is coordinated by the National Technological University (Córdoba Regional Faculty). The network has the participation of 13 research groups and four chambers from eight Ibero-American countries.

The RIBCi’s main objective is to promote research, training and collaboration in events related to Blockchain and cybersecurity, two topics of great relevance today and of interest to industries and academic development at a local level, with a significant global impact.

During the launch of the network, various talks and a master class open to the public were held, where knowledge and experiences related to Blockchain and cybersecurity at the Ibero-American level were exchanged. In addition, the first General Assembly of the Network was held, in which the founding act was signed and the statute of the organization was approved.

The event was attended by the Minister of Science and Technology, Pablo De Chiara, and Oscar Medina, coordinator of the RIBCi, as well as representatives of eight Ibero-American countries, who participated both in person and online.

During his speech, De Chiara expressed his gratitude to all those who made possible the creation and coordination of the network in the city of Córdoba. He highlighted the collaborative innovation approach that has been fundamental in network management, highlighting the need to accelerate technological adoption and professional training processes to meet the demands of the productive sectors. He also stressed the importance of collaboration between science, technology and international perspective to carry out joint projects.

The minister highlighted the promising future of the RIBCi and affirmed his conviction that the work of the network will be of great importance, anticipating the incorporation of new actors and projects in the near future.

This February 5, the billionaire of the Twitter technology platform, Jack Dorsey, announced the activation of his own bitcoin node, which he runs from his computer.

In the publication it could be read: “running bitcoin” next to the capture that only showed 2 % of what corresponds to the synchronization in the block chain, until now.

The businessman explained that the execution is carried out by the configuration of the node using a Macbook M1 chip, the last in the line of processors for Apple laptops and before this he tweeted: “starting from scratch to build in M1 first.”

Bitcoin nodes differ from miners in that they do not compete for a share of the block rewards. Indeed, each node hosts another immutable copy of the blockchain network, which helps to bring more overall security to the network.

According to recent data, the number of full bitcoin nodes in operation has fluctuated lately, reaching between 7,000 and 11,000.

One of the independent agencies of the United States Department of the Treasury, called the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, has ruled through a statement about the use of stablecoins as a mechanism to issue payments in cryptocurrencies.

The measure directed exclusively to regulated banks of the Federal Government clarifies that as long as the law and banking practices are complied with, any “national bank or federal savings association can validate, store and record payment transactions serving as a node in an INVN (independent node verification network), also known as the independent node verification network or blockchain network ”.

The government entity also added that a bank “can use INVN and related stablecoins to carry out other permitted payment activities.”

Banks may issue stable coins

In the letter, it is also taken for granted that banks will be able to issue stablecoins due to charging debit cards and checks by exchanging them for fiat money. “Banks have long used cashier’s checks, traveler’s checks and other bearer instruments as a means of facilitating cashless payments,” as specified in the statement.

Jeremy Allaire, co-founder and CEO of Circle, assures that the measure leads the country’s economy to very important scenarios. “It is tremendous to see such progressive support from the largest national bank regulator in the United States,” Allaire said.
