A Canadian court has granted QuadrigaCX a 30-day stay against lawsuits as it looks for answers on how to retrieve the $137 million in inaccessible cryptocurrency following its CEO Gerald Cotton's alleged death. The court order comes as more details have emerged about QuadrigaCX's operations. Bloomberg reports that Cotton filed a will 12 days before his reported death in India from Crohn's disease. The will names his wife, Jennifer Robertson, as the only beneficiary and the executor to his state. ZeroNoncense, a blog (with a non-working "contact us" page) that writes about crypto, published an analysis that claims QuadrigaCX used a wallet cluster technique that allowed it to pit traders' positions against one another to fulfill deposit and withdrawal requests. –NEWS BTC       2. Google has quietly added the bitcoin and ethereum blockchains to Google's big data platform, BigQuery. The addition, along with the creation of a suite of custom software tools, will make it easier for anyone to search the blockchain. The project, known as Blockchain ETL (extract, transform, load) has become a word of mouth hit. Previously, searching the blockchain meant using a block-explorer to retrieve data on a known individual transaction number. Google's tool allows for more generalized searches. "In the future, moving more economic activity on chain won't just require a consensus level of trust," said Allen Day, the lead developer on the project. "It will require having some trust in knowing about who it is you're actually interacting with." –FORBES       Ad Intelligence is creating stronger connections.
