Most of the aerospace world is expected to be watching the skies over Antarctica and New Zealand over the next few hours. Earlier this week, LeoLabs Inc, a company that tracks objects in Low Earth Orbit, issued a statement regarding two large objects which posed a “high risk” of collision at 00:56:40 UTC on 16 October 2020 (8:56:40 pm EDT on 15 October). The two objects, as of publication at 3pm EDT, held a greater than 10% chance of colliding 991 km above Antarctica. Both objects, an old Soviet-era satellite and the upper stage of a Chang Zheng 4C Chinese rocket, […]

The Russian-flagged vessel is said to be traveling at about 14.5-15 knots west through the […]

Update: VT has been tracking COVID stats and disinformation/censorship since day one. Now, in light of the Beirut attack (Trump backs us up), we now view the release of a hybridized version of COVID 19 on the New York metropolitan area as a terror attack. Stats on hospitalization and deaths there have been altered/censored which prove this was a biological attack. Death rates were many times higher than elsewhere and even target specifically the Jewish population, something Israel has done before. We have watched Google Corporation manipulation of the internet, we have tracked them and find clear and absolute evidence that […]

Bitcoin has has long been feted as a new form of money, a two-finger salute to the establishment, even as a digital equivalent to gold, but it’s not often prized for its stability. That could change with the introduction of a new futures contract. Crypto exchange BTSE has taken the unorthodox decision to price tether gold futures contracts in bitcoin, rather than in the more conventional U.S. dollar. Here’s how it works: It’s a perpetual contract – a future without expiry – that tracks the value of one tether gold (XAUT) token, which itself tracks the value of one troy ounce […]
The Offshore Operators Committee, a nonprofit organization focused on offshore energy, has found a blockchain management system reduces costs and time for transporting wastewater. The (OOC)’s Oil and Gas Blockchain Consortium has completed its first pilot of a produced water haulage management system using blockchain technology. The pilot, the first industry-wide use of a blockchain-native network for produced water haulage, essentially tried to streamline the process of transporting wastewater byproducts collected during the extraction of oil and natural gas, referred to as produced water. The pilot automatically measured volume and generated invoices during the transportation process. Developed in partnership with Data […]

With solar panels flooding power grids with more electricity than some utilities companies may know how to handle, telecom giant Vodafone and blockchain nonprofit Energy Web have devised a communications solution. This SIM-based identity system could turn grids’ increasingly distributed capacity into an information and control boon for the utility, said Walter Kok, CEO of the Zug, Switzerland-based Energy Web Foundation. Grids now feature solar panels and electric cars and wind turbines and heat pumps that could all carry SIM cards, said Kok, who used to work at Vodafone. If they did, then they could also carry proof of identity to […]

On a global scale, the map shows China making up 65% of total global hashrate, with the U.S. and Russia back on 7%. While China is still way out in […]
