Several prominent ethereum community leaders wrote an open letter speaking out against the "toxic" behavior that led to the resignation of Parity's Afri Schoedon. The letter condemns the actions taken against Schoedon and brings attention to the cyber bullying that has at times been rampant in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. "It should also be said that the Ethereum network is built, maintained and scaled by humans," the letter says. "We must preserve the mental and emotional health of those humans—especially as they labor through their nights, weekends, often without pay, in order to manifest the mission and vision of Ethereum." –CCN       2. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey tweeted an endorsement of the Tippin.me button, a recently launched tool that allows content creators to more easily accept cryptocurrency. Dorsey tweeted on Wednesday, "I hooked this up and already got tipped some satoshis" along with a link to the tool. Tippin.me allows people to add a button to things like their Twitter account or personal web page that allow people to send them cryptocurrency "tips." By tweeting a link to his more than 4 million followers, Dorsey has helped spread word of the payment tool. Dorsey has been a vocal proponent of cryptocurrency of late, routinely praising it during interviews as part of a recent media tour. –CRYPTO VEST       Ad Engineers Build Business with GitPrime Ship faster because you know more, not because you're rushing.

Wladimir van der Laan, the head of bitcoin's most widely used software, said "no one in their right mind proposes changing bitcoin's monetary policy." The comments, posted on Twitter, came following a week of online debate over bitcoin's supply. Matt Huong, a noted developer, had floated the idea of increasing the supply of bitcoins in circulation as a possible way to reduce fees. Huong's comments were made lightly but an intense argument developed as a result. "[Raising the supply] is anti-economic, [and it] goes against human psychology," van der Laan said. "I don't think people will generally choose to deliberately devaluate something they own." –COINDESK       4. The Los Angeles Kings have partnered with augmented reality startup Pro Exp Media to launch a blockchain-based tool that tracks the authenticity of sports merchandise. The Kings did not discuss how the tool works, only that it will use blockchain so buyers of game-used items can be assured that it is authentic. There was no mention of the Kings using additional blockchain-based features for fans, such as creating their own token or rewards token. The Kings neighbor in Southern California, the Los Angeles Dodgers, for instance, launched collectible tokens on the ethereum network last year. –COIN TELEGRAPH       Ad Build Proficiency with IoT while Exploring Azure IoT Tools and Technologies Developing applications for the Internet of Things is a balancing act.
