Signal App More and more individuals are worried about using popular messaging applications such as Twitter, Instagram, and even regular SMS services. They feel that these apps and services are not secure enough to ensure privacy. That's when we saw a great swell of interest in the Signal app. The Signal app can be downloaded free of charge and was created for individuals and groups to send encrypted text, pictures, audio, and video messages. It can also be used for encrypted phone calls to mobile users between Signal users. Here's a brief look at what this app is all about, and why it has seen a sudden increase of new users. What is Signal? The Signal app's roots go back to 2010, when two Android apps were first launched by a company called Whisper Systems: one was TextSecure, which encrypted text messages, and the other was RedPhone, which did the same for voice calls. In 2011, Twitter acquired the company and the apps were released as free open-source software. In 2013, Moxie Marlinspike, one of Whisper Systems' founders, quit Twitter. He founded another startup, Open Whisper Systems, and TextSecure and RedPhone continued to be developed. It was announced in 2014 that the company would combine the two applications, with the new name Signal, into one. In 2018, the non-profit Signal Foundation was founded by Marlinspike and WhatsApp co-founder Brian Acton to continue the growth of the app and to protect free and open source applications. What platforms support the app? Singal is available for devices running iOS and Android, and is also available for Windows-based PCs. Linux and Mac. How does the Signal app work? To provide encrypted end-to-end communication between users of Signal, the app uses its own open-source Signal Protocol. That includes encrypted text for iOS, Android, and PC users, group chats, voice messages, images, and videos. The Android version of Signal can also act as an SMS or MMS app for a phone, but those text messages will not be encrypted. The smartphone edition also allows voice and video calls that are encrypted. The Signal Foundation revealed in October 2020 that it had officially added voice and video calls to its PC and iPad apps as well. Also, the Signal app extends its support for community chats. You can now pick community administrators who can add or delete people from the group. If you want to highlight a certain person in a group chat, there is also support for @mentions. Community connections for everyone to join a Signal group may also be sent out.   Not only are signal messages encrypted, but all the metadata in those messages are also secret, the developers of the software insist. In other words, if you have a Signal Chat with someone else, it will only be noticed by the person who receives your messages. Also, because a non-profit organization is funding the creation of the app, there is no financial incentive to sell any data. There are no commercials and downloading and use of the software will remain free. Plus, anybody can contribute to its development because it's open-source software. Who recommends the app? The Verge notes that the European Commission sent a note to its staff members in February 2020 saying that the Signal app was now the "recommended public instant message application." Jack Dorsey, founder and CEO of Twitter, is also a major Signal supporter. During June 2020, at the height of the huge global Black Lives Matter protests, Vox notes that Signal was one of the top 10 most downloaded social applications on iOS. And the armed forces of our nation use the app. MilitaryTimes notes that on their smartphones, the 82nd Airborne Task Force Devil, which was deployed to the Middle East in January 2020, was asked to use the Signal tool. One thing seems clear: when there are greater privacy issues, or lack thereof, in regular messaging apps, the app becomes more popular. How many people use the app? How many regular or monthly users the app has, the Signal Foundation has never revealed. We do know, however, that the Android edition of the Signal app has been downloaded over 10 million times from the Google Play Store page.

Etherium What is etherium? It is based on bitcoin, a decentralized money. You may check @CryptoLife article about bitcoin. https://read.cash/@CryptoLife/bitcoin-mining-26661506 **Etherium** is proposed in the late 2013 then brought to life in 2014 by **Vitalik Buterin,** who is a cofounder at the time of the bitcoin magazine. Etherium is a do it yourself platform for decentralized programs also known as **DApps**. If you want to create a decentralize program that no single person has an authority, not even you even you wrote the program, all you have to do is learn the etherium language called solidity and begin programming. Etherium platform has thousands of independent computers running it, meaning it is decentralized. Once a program is deployed into the etherium network, this computer also known as nodes will make sure it executes whats written. **Etherium is an infrastructure for running DApps worldwide. It's not a currency but a platform. The currency used for incentives is called ether**. Etheriums goal is to fully decentralize the internet. In this, we can design an internet that connects people directly without using any third party. Example: People can directly hire a hard drive and make dropbox obsolete Drivers can offer services directly to passengers without uber as the middleman People can buy cryptocurrency directly to another person without the need of exchange that can be hack or steal your money Etherium connects people directly through a powerful decentralize super computer. How etherium works? Etheriums language, **solidity** is used to write smart contracts that runs DApps. Etherium developers write the condition on their program and then the etherium network executes it. Example: If i use a smart contract for paying a rented car, the owner doesn't need to actively collect the rent. The contract itself knows if the money is sent. If i did sent the money i can use the car and if not the car will not work Smart contracts also has a downside. It is not intelligent, it is uncompromising letter strict. It can't take secondary consideration or the spirit of the "law of account". Once smart contracts is deployed in the etherium network, it can not be edited. Etherium likes the idea "code is law". A contract in etherium is the ultimate authority and no one can over rule the contract. The DAO Allows user to invest and get returns based on their investment that DAO made. The DAO raised a $150million etherium currency, Ether. Ether is trading for about 20$ that time but the smart contract is not very secured resulted for someone figuring out the way to drain the DAO out of money. The etherium community decided that code is no longer is law and changed etherium rules in order to return all the money that went into the DAO. This event lead to creating the **etherium classic.** **Note: wait for another article about etheriums currency, Ether.** ***"The technical side of Ethereums efficay is 100% an engineering exercise" - Vitalik Buterin***

I'm trying to understand the point system of readcash. This may help me and you guys to earn more points by not consuming your time and energy. Well, my energy for doing this is sure will be worth it. This is all based on my activities using readcash Reading articles I have read 10 articles, only read it not giving it a like.
