Bookblocks.io, an NFT company has partnered with a New York-based company, Women for Afghan Women to help women in Afghanistan have access to education. Under the new Taliban-run government, women in Afghanistan have had their rights to education restricted by the fundamentalist militants. Since this development, Afghan women have taken to the streets to protest. Over a dozen women protested outside the premises of what used to be the Afghan Women’s Affairs Ministry – until the Taliban turned it into the department for the “propagation of virtue and the prevention of vice.” Bookblocks.io NFT Bookblocks.io announced that it would be releasing a non-fungible token on October 5, and the proceeds of its sales would be given to Women for Afghan Women (WAW). Women for Afghan Women is a grassroots civil society organization dedicated to protecting and promoting the rights of disenfranchised Afghan women and girls in Afghanistan and New York. According to the company, the inspiration for the NFT was Louisa May Alcott, who was a pioneer for women’s rights. “Not only did her many famous writings seek to lift women in society, but she was an ardent feminist, abolitionist, and supporter of women’s suffrage. As such, she seemed a perfect inspiration for our charity focus this month, which is dedicated to helping the woman and girls of Afghanistan find equality in all aspects of life.” Total crypto market cap drops to $1.93 Trillion | Source: Crypto Total Market Cap from TradingView.com The NFT is a portrait of Louisa May Alcott with two different butterfly wings. It signifies the hopeful emergence of Afghan women and girls from the restrictions that impede their freedoms. The background colors of each NFT are also different, signifying the diversity of backgrounds that make up the women and girls that Women for Afghan Women serve. There are also four different versions of this illustration to represent the 40% of Afghan children who suffer from malnutrition. The company says it will mint 2200 copies of this NFT to represent the reported 2.2 million girls currently excluded from school in Afghanistan. 100% of the money raised from the sale of the NFTs will go towards Women for Afghan Women, with a 5% residual for each subsequent sale. The price starts at 0.025 Ether (ETH). Other NFT And Crypto Donations To Afghanistan There are several ongoing projects in the digital assets space that are focused on charity work towards Afghanistan. About a month ago, Jack Butcher, the founder of Visualize Value, launched a series of NFT “care packages,” that cover one Afghan family’s emergency needs for one month. This care package is still accepting donations via The Giving Block.

As I understood, although some people define EVM as being turing complete, it isn't totally turing complete, so what is the memory limit of EVM? submitted by /u/mkiob [link]…

Spanish cryptocurrency exchange, Bit2Me, has successfully raised $23.9 million (20M EUR) following three highly-demanded public sale rounds for its newly launched token, B2M. The first public sale, launched on September 6th, 2021, saw a staggering $5.9 million raised in just 59 seconds, followed by a second which raised $8.8 million in just 47 seconds. The final phase sold out in just 38 seconds, involving over 7,000 participants. Each marks some of the quickest and largest grossing for a public sale of an exchanged-based token in crypto history. In addition to this staggering retail demand, Bit2Me also drew on its existing network of partners and investors, securing a further $3.3 million in private funds. Moreover, the Spanish exchange is confident this momentum will carry through to November 1st when B2M goes live on Bit2Me’s own cryptocurrency exchange, given both the figure raised so far and the growth of and interest from the community since B2M was launched. Commenting on the token sale’s success, Koh Onozawa, a recent addition to Bit2Me’s advisory board, said that the sales are the product of “6 years of hard work and community building” undertaken by Bit2Me, with the team having “bootstrapped” the exchange from a small unknown exchange, to one of the largest in Europe, and the largest in the Spanish speaking world. Onozawa went on to say that the team is excited to see what the future brings for the exchange and the change and impact it will have on the cryptocurrency exchange industry as a whole: “We [Bit2Me] won’t stop until everyone can easily discover access and operate with crypto in their day-to-day lives.” Evolving the Cryptocurrency Exchange Industry Indeed, pursuant to this mission, Bit2Me has been on a development spree, reflecting its aim to become a one-stop ecosystem for all things cryptocurrency-related. Their product portfolio, aptly named the Bit2Me Suite, consists of a range of products specifically designed to cater to the bespoke needs of its committed user-base. These comprise a series of exchange services, including Bit2Me Wallet – a multi-asset storage and exchange application that hosts over 60 different crypto assets, Bit2Me Trade – a high-frequency trading platform supporting market, limit and stop-limit orders and an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk to support high-volume transactions. Additionally, Bit2Me has rightly focussed on the area of the crypto-world which still arguably requires a significant amount of attention – fiat-crypto off and on-ramps. Bit2me Pay and Bit2Me Card provide payments solutions for cryptocurrency traders, allowing them to purchase crypto-assets with fiat currencies and spend crypto-assets using traditional online payment gateways. In addition, the Bit2Me ecosystem also offers community-focused products like Bit2Me Academy for crypto learning, Bit2Me News, Bit2Me TV, directory services, event listings, loyalty programs and a range of on-demand services for the community. B2M: Powering The Bit2Me Ecosystem Powering all of this is Bit2Me’s newly-launched, Ethereum-based token, B2M. B2M is a utility token that acts as a medium for information and value exchange in the Bit2Me ecosystem. Users can pay for Bit2Me’s educational resources, such as courses in the Bit2Me academy using the ERC-20 token, and even receive exclusive discounts (up to 90%) on content. These discounts also extend to fees paid when using Bit2Me’s exchange services, including Bit2Me Trade and Bit2Me Wallet. You will obtain these benefits only by holding B2M, you won’t need to spend it. Finally, borrowing from the decentralized finance (DeFi) space, Bit2Me’s token will power the cryptocurrency exchange’s borrowing and lending facility. Users who effectively “stake” other cryptocurrency assets, such as Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH), making those assets available to be borrowed by others for trading purposes, will receive an interest payout. If lenders agree to receive these payouts in B2M, their earned interest will be significantly higher. Finally, the team behind Bit2Me is also considering including a governance feature within B2M’s framework which will allow holders to vote on the platform’s product offering and additional features. This might include voting on specific features, cryptocurrency listings up and the general direction of the exchange. If the successful public raise is an indicator of future success, Bit2Me is destined to be a giant in the cryptocurrency exchange space and remain as such for a long time into the future.
