Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Today's Sunday Times has a very good review of the Verne data centre in Iceland and how it plans to link up with underseas cables etc to help create an international data motorway powered by renewable energy. Well worth a read to help put D19's overall strategy in context.
The news in the RNS plus the positive news from Argentex - see below - suggests that the increased volatility in the currency markets should be positive for Equals who have a growing Corporate FOREX business.
Argentex expects to report six month revenues of £27.4m, a 75% increase compared to the same period last year (H1 2022: £15.7m)* with costs remaining in line with management expectations. There has been continued strong client demand with the number of corporate clients trading growing to 1,393 (H1 2022: 1,241)*.

RSE has also stopped buying back its own shares over the last few days as well.
Blue Star Capital investee company SatoshiPay has announced that Pendulum’s sister blockchain Amplitude has won Kusama parachain auction #42.
Winning the parachain auction allows Amplitude to plug into the Kusama network as a parachain for a 48-week lease period and allows developers to start building and using dApps on Amplitude. To participate in the auction, Amplitude successfully completed a 'crowdloan', with 24,080 Kusama ("KSM") tokens from 604 contributors, worth approximately $1.2m, locked for the duration of the lease period.
The parachain connection will provide users the ability to utilise tokens, for example, for purchases or payment transfers across multiple blockchains providing the “missing link” between fiat and DeFi through a fiat-optimised smart contract blockchain, enabling Fintech and even traditional forex providers to integrate their fiat services with DeFi applications such as specialised forex AMMs, lending protocols and yield farming opportunities.
Alexander Wilke, SatoshiPay's Chief Executive Officer, commented that:?"The Pendulum ecosystem strategy includes key partnerships with fiat anchors and chain bridges and the incubation of projects in the forex automated market makers and money markets space, along with grant programs for wallets and fintech integrations. The rapid progress of Pendulum and the Polkadot ecosystem may allow us to accelerate our mission to offer instant cross-border payments on blockchain sooner than expected. We are considering several options to further decentralise the DTransfer service and further announcements will be made in due course. For now, SatoshiPay’s focus is laying the foundations not only for DTransfer, but for the whole industry, with Pendulum."
Derek Lew, Chairman of Blue Star Capital said that: “It is truly exciting to see the pace and scale of the progress Alex and the SatoshiPay team are making right now.?The latest news around the Pendulum token pre-sale and other recent developments underline why the board remains confident in the future of this business.”
Pendulum is building the missing link between fiat and DeFi through a fiat-optimised smart contract blockchain based on Polkadot’s Substrate, allowing traditional finance fiat services to integrate with DeFi applications such as specialised forex AMMs, lending protocols or yield farming opportunities. Pendulum is developed by SatoshiPay.
Parachain auctions are those held on the Polkadot and Kusama relay chains to determine which blockchain will connect to available parachain slots to support transactions and provide network security. Amplitude, Pendulum’s sister chain on the Kusama network, already obtained a crowdloan and won a parachain auction. To secure its own parachain slot, Pendulum will need to follow the same procedure on Polkadot.

Hi,
can anybody with a better understanding of Pendulum tell if this impacts on the Satoshipay project or it will be part of it some time in the future?

the following article provides an insight to the regulatory process - also of interest is news that the Dutch government has given permission for cultured meat to be tasted. Apparently, approval is needed for cultures neat to be tated before other regulatory rquirements are addressed.

Matt Lodge, Dynasty's Chief Executive Officer's comment at the end is also very positive: "With regards to a potential listing, we remain open to all options but are not currently tied to any one specific direction or timeline. We are continuing ongoing discussions that would potentially provide a different outcome to an IPO.

Regulatory approval for cultured fish proten in Q2 would give ANIC a significant lift with its Blu Nalu shareholding - the PR and public interest surround any possible Blu Nalu IPO would also be significant because of the conservationa nd environmental issues being addressed.
