            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*inpfxFTGVfbu2OapMgEB7A.png" /><figcaption>A screenshot of the dots in action</figcaption></figure><p>Volume is one of the most important indicators used by traders. However, interpreting volume often is a challenge and it takes a trained eye to understand how to make sense of volume.</p><p>After months of research, we at CryptoControl are happy to introduce a new kind of charts that makes understanding volume easier than ever.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*H_IgNb3ru4zKjyEflU_TCg.png" /><figcaption>Turning on the x-ray vision</figcaption></figure><h3>How does it work? What do these dots represent?</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/780/1*q4QP6YWUZ-iDTA0gzC3yew.png" /></figure><p>The visualisation is quite simple. Each dot represents how much volume there was at that point. The darker the dot, the greater the volume at that point.</p><p>This size of a dot represents the price groupings, which can be 50$, 100$ or even 0.1$, depending on the asset being looked at.</p><p><strong>It’s that simple!</strong></p><p>With the help of these dots, you can easily analyse trading volumes at different price points in a single candlestick all in just one timeframe.</p><h3>What predictions/conclusions can you make from these dots?</h3><p>While the idea of these dots is quite new, our traders here at CryptoControl have been trading heavily using these dots and we have discovered two main use-cases.</p><h4><strong>1. Identifying Support &amp; Resistance lines</strong></h4><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*PWtTq9cYUwss21zJHbEUpQ.png" /><figcaption>A chart with the medium-coloured dots faded away. You can see key price activity happening near the pivot points</figcaption></figure><p>Figuring out what should be the right support/resistance level is often a challenge. To find the right support/resistance points, a trader needs to find the key pivot points in a chart and confirm it with enough volume.</p><p>However, with the help of the dots, a trader can quickly spot the brightest dot where the most volume has happened and use that to identify the new support/resistance lines. See the diagram above as an example.</p><h4><strong>2. Understanding Long-Short Squeezes</strong></h4><p>One of the biggest advantages of the Volume dots, is the way it can easily identify short squeezes.</p><p>A short squeeze is a situation in which a heavily shorted asset moves sharply higher, forcing short sellers to close out their short positions, adding to the upward pressure on the asset.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/774/1*DPpsMODQiGWsF3CC9_nHWA.png" /></figure><p>This sort of activity typically starts with a large market buy order which drastically rises the price and forces the shorts to get liquidated or trigger their stop losses.</p><p>In the diagram above, you can clearly see a large market order being placed which caused many shorter to trigger their stop loss or get liquidated.</p><h3>A whole new field of study for chart junkies</h3><p>The volume dots are a new kind of charts and they haven’t been very easy to create.</p><p>However, we here at CryptoControl believe that there are a lot of unexplored use-cases and studies that people can find using these dots and we’d encourage our users to share their findings to us.</p><p>For users who’d like to get access to the dots, they can do so by visiting <a href="https://cryptocontrol.io/en/volumedots">https://cryptocontrol.io/en/volumedots</a></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*lrXwIzi8VqeFS9yPO7e01g.png" /><figcaption>The very first version of the dots</figcaption></figure><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=593035f276f1" width="1" height="1" alt=""><hr><p><a href="https://medium.com/cryptocontrol/understanding-the-volume-dots-a-new-to-way-to-visualise-volume-593035f276f1">Understanding the Volume Dots.

The new design is top-notch in terms of user-experience and interface. It is simple, yet powerful.</p><p>This is not just an upgrade on design but also an upgrade in usability. We have redesigned the site, keeping in mind user-friendliness and experience as our highest priority. We now incorporate more data in less space, giving users an easy way to navigate through news pieces and data points. The news engine is not just fast, but also scrapes more articles than before from more than 200 news publishers.</p><p>The new design is not just easy to use but also gives an overall grand user experience to our users.</p><h3>A better focus on trends; not plain articles</h3><p>The new homepage reflects the fact that now</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/592/1*f05Ik-XGwFfE9wsQbu-v5w.png" /><figcaption>A screenshot of the trending topics section</figcaption></figure><p>One of the most powerful features of Twitter is Twitter Trends. With Twitter Trends, you can quickly get a glance of what’s happening in the twitterverse in just one page.</p><p>Taking a lot of inspiration from Twitter trends, we’ve created the <strong>Trending Topics</strong> widget. A simple widget that is shown on the homepage and on the news page, that’ll allow you to quickly glance through the global trends happening in the crypto space.</p><h3>Screener</h3><p>One feature that we are very excited about is the screener, which is due to come soon. A crypto screener would let crypto traders identify best performing coins and assets by simply filtering coins on the basis of technical and fundamental indicators like Market Cap, Price, change, RSI, SMA, etc.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*8kk84BMZsoWmui1lFfyyuA.png" /></figure><p>For starters, we’ve added in just a few simple indicators, namely the RSI and MA (20day, 50day and 200day) with which you can use to run your queries. We plan to add a lot more filters in the coming few week.</p><h3>A More Functional News Page</h3><p>The news page is more compact and much more navigable. You can now easily choose which categories and coins you’d like to receive news from and within seconds the results should pop up.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*OIYXYPCDT3tdzisMe56SWQ.png" /><figcaption>The new, more functional news page</figcaption></figure><p>In addition to this, our news spiders and now crawl blogs and medium posts and have been improved to bring in 0% downtime.</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>We are very excited to know what you guys think about our new design and if we missed out on any feature. Mention it in the comments below.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=70cc4adb9dd7" width="1" height="1" alt=""><hr><p><a href="https://medium.com/cryptocontrol/new-site-redesign-simple-yet-powerful-70cc4adb9dd7">New Site Redesign; Simple yet powerful</a> was originally published in <a href="https://medium.com/cryptocontrol">CryptoControl</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>]]></content:encoded>

This is a massive update since many of our users struggled to trade CCIO tokens with the current decentralised exchanges (EtherDelta, ForkDelta, TokenMom) as they were very hard to use.</p><h3><strong>What does this mean for the future of the CCIO token?</strong></h3><p>This is the very beginning of the CCIO token and it has a long way to go before it start delivering on the promises that it has made. We’re super excited to say that at the rate at which we’re going, that it won’t be too long.</p><p>If you’ve read our <a href="https://medium.com/cryptocontrol/announcing-the-ccio-token-87ec10e1bb7e">token page</a>, you’ll see that CCIO token holders can use the token to purchase the CryptoControl terminal at a fixed rate of 1$ = 1000 CCIO tokens.</p><p>At the time of writing, the CryptoControl team is working hard on the terminal, allowing it to accept CCIO tokens for subscriptions and this update will get rolled out within the coming month.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*BkB_hd8p3kpN0R2Ibi3SvQ.png" /><figcaption>A screenshot of the upcoming license page where a user is asked to pay for the license using CCIO tokens.</figcaption></figure><p>Which means that it won’t be long before token holders will start seeing real demand for their tokens as users start looking to purchase the CryptoControl’s terminal license with CCIO tokens.</p><h3><strong>How to start trading?</strong></h3><p>Visit the CryptoKart website (linked <a href="https://cryptokart.io/">here</a>) and create an account. Once you’ve created an account, head over to Funds page and click on the deposit button next to the CCIO symbol. The rest should be self-explantory.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*_mxIYJ6YoQb1UwH7bUBr7w.png" /><figcaption>The funds page where you can easily deposit/withdraw your CCIO tokens</figcaption></figure><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>This is the first step for the CryptoControl team and the CCIO token. We’d like to thank all our supporters and CCIO token holders for the their generous contribution towards CryptoControl’s growth.</p><p>We’d like to encourage everybody to signup on Cryptokart, start depositing their CCIO tokens and start placing sell orders. So that there’s enough liquidity when we launch the next version of the CryptoControl terminal.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=48a55909ff1d" width="1" height="1" alt=""><hr><p><a href="https://medium.com/cryptocontrol/the-ccio-token-is-now-listed-on-cryptokart-48a55909ff1d">The CCIO token is now listed on CryptoKart!</a> was originally published in <a href="https://medium.com/cryptocontrol">CryptoControl</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Results of CryptoControl’s First Referral Campaign</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*FHUb4D2xKevuueaqDrMBqw.png" /></figure><p>For months the CryptoControl team has been working internally on designing and creating a referral program that could incentivise people to help grow the CryptoControl community and the product in a big way.</p><p>On March 26th, we launched our first referral campaign and we’re proud to say it has been a success! Unfortunately sometimes growing too fast can be a problem and that’s exactly what happened with us.</p><p>In this post we try to explain what happened. And what we did to ensure that we kept a good name in the ecosystem.</p><h3>Filtering out fake referrals</h3><p>Because of the large influx of users, the CryptoControl team has been proactively working to review each referral and rewarding users who have genuinely worked hard to make real referrals.</p><p>Since the referral program was incentivising people to bring users via email, it was no surprise to us that we found many users who had figured out ways to game the system.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*G9nmU1BVAdNaPJl3JHMo3A.png" /><figcaption>The new referral page, with a captcha to avoid bots from making referrals.</figcaption></figure><p>To combat this, we immediately added a blacklist of known domains used often for creating disposable emails and we’ve also added a captcha to the referral page to avoid bots from creating fake accounts.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/480/1*IvOBxkTLlhbTeeJnhQ5cfA.png" /><figcaption>An example of an referral made from a fake email site (desoz.com)</figcaption></figure><p>Further to this, we also decided to review each and every referral made by every user, so that we could further filter out fake referrals that were not taken out automatically by the system.</p><p>Approximately 18,000 fake referrals were removed from the system. And those who made fake referrals automatically saw their rewards and referral counter subtracted accordingly. (A few of them complained and it took a lot of effort for us to explain to them why fake referrals were not counted).</p><p>This allowed us to ensure that we could easily distribute ETH &amp; CCIO tokens to those who actually spent time to refer genuine people.</p><h3>Distributing ETH &amp; CCIO tokens properly</h3><p>On day one of the campaign we were able to reward users with ETH and CCIO tokens almost instantly. Since there were very few referrals in number, we were to communicate and process all withdrawals within telegram itself. Instantly.</p><p>But unexpectedly by the next day, we saw about the number of referrers grow by nearly 50x! This was quite unexpected and we couldn’t handle to flood of messages on our telegram.</p><p>Which is why we quickly decided to restructure the site’s referral to ask for an ETH address as well. This allowed us to track the ETH address of every referrer, send the reward and update their token balance from within the site itself.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*1WmkxyAGPnKXv-TPIw7rNw.png" /><figcaption>A screenshot of the withdrawal section which asks the user for his ETH address.</figcaption></figure><p>This allowed us to handle from 10–20 withdrawals (manually) to upto 1,000–5,000 withdrawals (automatically).</p><p>Henceforth; <strong>the CryptoControl team will be processing withdrawals every weekend</strong>. All the user needs to do is to fill in their ETH address on the <a href="https://cryptocontrol.io/en/referrals">referral page</a>. Once set, we’ll automatically withdraw tokens every weekend and will keep our telegram community updated when we do so.</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>We first would like to thank all those people who referred users to us. These are the people who have truly been the most patient with us. And we’d like to thank those who helped grow our community and maintain our telegram group.</p><p>We’ll admit that we did make some mistakes during this campaign. And we sincerely apologise for any users who had to face pain because of how unprepared we were.</p><p>But rest assured that the site and the product is now at a much better state and we’ve gotten a lot of learnings from this experience which will allow us to handle future referral campaigns in a more professional manner.</p><p>We try our best to answer questions made in the <a href="https://t.me/cryptocontrolio">group</a>, so please feel free to join and let us know about your thoughts. <a href="https://t.me/cryptocontrolio">t.me/cryptocontrolio</a></p><p><strong>Note: If you’ve participated in our referrals campaign but got your rewards calculated incorrectly, please fill in the dispute form linked </strong><a href="https://forms.gle/Tkw4VvDMwjSeNsGG7"><strong>here</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=c82ba5ed7a1c" width="1" height="1" alt=""><hr><p><a href="https://medium.com/cryptocontrol/results-of-cryptocontrols-first-referral-campaign-c82ba5ed7a1c">Results of CryptoControl’s  First Referral Campaign</a> was originally published in <a href="https://medium.com/cryptocontrol">CryptoControl</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>]]></content:encoded>

In this post we summarise the new and exciting features that we’ve introduced.</p><h3>1. TradingView Integration</h3><p>After a lot of requests from the community, this has been the most sought after feature our users have requested for <strong>and we have listened.</strong></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*4daZi91zXwUQ1NGBMDKRSg.png" /><figcaption>TradingView charts for Binance BTCUSDT</figcaption></figure><p>With TradingView charts, now users can interact with a high definition chart for all of their favourite exchanges.</p><p>As of this writing, current exchanges integrated with TradingView charts are <strong>Binance, Bitfinex, Bittrex</strong> and <strong>HitBTC </strong>with more exchanges coming soon.</p><h3>2. Crypto Graph Explorer</h3><p>The blockchain is meant to be visualized as a graph. And over the course of the last few weeks, our team has been working internally on a tool to visualize and analyze all the transactions happening on the Ethereum blockchain.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*iO2VYjA78MGaVuxX76M2XQ.png" /><figcaption>A screenshot of the graph explorer screen. The nodes represent Ethereum accounts</figcaption></figure><p>Users can visually see how money flows in the blockchain with the crypto graph. With a set of simple filters, you get information about how money flows:</p><ul><li>Between Exchanges, ICO Wallets, Token Sale Contracts and other Smart Contracts</li><li>View transactions up to 6 levels deep</li><li>View contract creation transactions</li><li>Support for even ERC20 tokens and transactions</li></ul><p>While this feature is currently in beta, we’re super excited to see what our users will use this for.</p><h3>3. Portfolio Charts &amp; Cost Analysis</h3><p>Our goal with the portfolio section is to develop a tool that gives all the data that a professional trader/investor would need, but at the same time be simple and easy to use.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*fwZRi2RWFax_28fAHG9jPA.png" /><figcaption>A snapshot of the portfolio section, with the new gain and gain% fields</figcaption></figure><p>With the new portfolio section, we’ve added an extra field where users can enter cost. With this, users can now quickly calculate the gain and gain% of their portfolio.</p><p>Alongside this, we’ve added in a portfolio chart where users can easily visualize their portfolio value as it grows over time.</p><h3>4. Better Arbitrage Spreads and Paths</h3><p>These have been our most exciting features to date. With Arbitrage spreads and paths, our users could skim through all the markets easily and profit from market inefficiencies.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*Bbi96SFN_7zEgqql16K-Ow.png" /><figcaption>Arbitrage Spreads and Paths</figcaption></figure><p>In this update, we have done a few things:</p><ul><li><strong>Removed outdated trading symbols</strong> where the price has not been updated for more than a day</li><li><strong>Fixed the ‘Starting Amount’ option</strong> in the arbitrage paths section. So now users can enter in exactly how much amount of a currency they’d like to find a path for.</li><li><strong>We’ve started scraping order books</strong>. Now with every path, we check the order books of the exchange as well. This is important because in an arbitrage opportunity, the volume of the order is important.</li></ul><h3>5. Encryption of API keys</h3><p>Security is very important in the crypto world. Which is why with our terminal, we take security very seriously.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*zwu736ETMrKaBaV19oBigQ.png" /><figcaption>The trading password screen, asked every time a user opens the trading window.</figcaption></figure><p>Every time a user opens the trading window, he/she is immediately asked for a trading password.</p><p>This password is used to encrypt all the trading API keys of the user and is never uploaded onto our servers.</p><p>This ensures that if any virus/hacker ever compromises the user’s machine, he/she will never get hold of the user’s API keys that are stored in the terminal.</p><p>Since the API keys are always saved locally, even if our servers face a security breach, the user’s API keys are never compromised.</p><h3>6. Better Newsfeed</h3><p>In the crypto space, news plays a very important role. With the updated newsfeed, now users can glance through more information about each news article.</p><p>We’ve added thumbnails and descriptions for every news article so that users can view all the information that they need in just one glance.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*g7pZZz_SznVbdRXKdTLuCg.png" /><figcaption>The newsfeed section with new image thumbnails and descriptions</figcaption></figure><h3>7. Feedback Section</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*7gKKXe-HmR_zJu1yWhMmWA.png" /><figcaption>The feedback page. Clean and simple</figcaption></figure><p>To conclude, we’d like to put a focus on our feedback section.</p><p>As you can see the design is kept very simple. But <strong>it’s importance is huge.</strong></p><p>Whenever a user submits a feedback, our team gets an instant notification with what has been sent and we begin to address it right away.</p><p>We do this because we believe listening to our users is key when they use our terminal and we’re more than excited to hear and understand what they need.</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>We’d like to thank our users for every ounce of support they’ve given us. Without them, our terminal will not have seen the development it has in the past few months.</p><p>We’re very excited to continue our development of the terminal and drive more value to our users and we hope to share more updates in the coming future.</p><p>To get access to the trading terminal, visit the terminal <a href="https://content.cryptocontrol.io/terminal/">signup page</a>.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=63dcca5b54c9" width="1" height="1" alt=""><hr><p><a href="https://medium.com/cryptocontrol/crypto-trading-terminal-v2-launched-new-features-63dcca5b54c9">Crypto Trading Terminal v2 Launched — New Features!</a> was originally published in <a href="https://medium.com/cryptocontrol">CryptoControl</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*133KKHAiLg2YIiSQFdkNog.png" /></figure><h3>Announcing the CCIO dividend token</h3><p>After nearly two years of product development with CryptoControl, we’re super proud of what we’ve built and the success we’ve seen so far.</p><p>CryptoControl this year from the last has:</p><ul><li>Grown over 10x in terms of user base.</li><li>Acquired popular social news aggregator, <a href="https://coinbuzz.stream/">coinbuzz.stream</a></li><li>Driven about 150mn impressions and roughly 1mn clicks to crypto publishers so far.</li><li><a href="https://medium.com/cryptocontrol/crypto-trading-terminal-launched-b77815af52a9">Launched</a> our much anticipated Crypto Trading Terminal</li></ul><p>While our growth has been tremendous so far, for a very long time we’ve always wanted to thank our users for contributing the most and we never could find out a way to properly do so.</p><p>Which is why we here at CryptoControl are very proud to announce that we are now launching our very own CryptoControl (CCIO) token. With this token we’re taking things to the next level by allowing our users to literally have a share in CryptoControl’s success and earn massive benefits from it’s growth.</p><p>In this post we explain how.</p><h3>What is CCIO?</h3><p>CCIO is a cryptocurrency which basically represents a share within CryptoControl. It pays out regular dividends and can be used within the CryptoControl platform itself.</p><p>CCIO tokens are publicly accessible on the Ethereum blockchain as ERC20 tokens and can be traded easily on any Ethereum-based exchange including, CryptoControl’s very own decentralized <a href="https://dex.cryptocontrol.io/">exchange</a>.</p><p>CCIO tokens are fixed in supply (1 billion CCIO tokens) and have a wide variety of features and benefits for it’s token holders, each of which is explained below.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*0VDvexTOnDSmB66rHWwlvg.png" /><figcaption>Details about the CCIO token</figcaption></figure><h3>1. CCIO tokens are earned, not bought</h3><p>By not allowing CCIO tokens to be bought, we allow for two things to happen:</p><p>Because earning tokens is a lot harder than buying them and since we’re also not conducting a token sale/ICO, there will be a scant supply of CCIO tokens.</p><p>And since CCIO tokens will have utility within the platform, there will be demand for the tokens as well. Since supply will (<em>most likely)</em> be lesser than the demand, the token’s value should grow overtime.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*b1KqurETOx_0pToMQu-tNQ.png" /><figcaption>A screenshot of CryptoControl’s exchange (available at <a href="https://dex.cryptocontrol.io/">dex.cryptocontrol.io</a>) where users can trade CCIO tokens</figcaption></figure><h3>2. Holding CCIO tokens will earn you regular monthly dividends from CC’s revenue</h3><p>Just like how any public company would give away quarterly dividends to all it’s shareholders, CCIO tokens will behave exactly the same by giving monthly dividends from CryptoControl’s revenues to all existing CCIO token holders.</p><p><strong>For example</strong>, if CryptoControl’s monthly revenues for the month of Jan 2020 is $100,000; then CryptoControl will convert 15% of it (which is $15,000) into Ether/TrueUSD/DAI and distribute it to all CCIO token holders proportionately.</p><p>Which means, if you are holding about 10% of all CCIO tokens in circulation; then you’re entitled to receive 10% of $15,000, which is $1,500 in dividends. This will repeat month after month as long as you hold CCIO tokens in your wallet.</p><p>Dividends are paid out either in the form of Ether, TrueUSD or DAI.</p><p><em>(Terms &amp; Conditions will apply)</em></p><h3>3. CCIO tokens can be used to pay for the terminal’s license and HODLers benefit!</h3><p>Unlike equity shares of any regular company, CCIO tokens have special utility wherein they can be actually used to pay for CryptoControl’s terminal license as well.</p><p>By paying for a license with CCIO tokens, <strong>these tokens get burnt</strong> and the total supply of tokens decreases.<strong> This is designed so that long-term CCIO token holders will benefit since they’ll now own a larger percentage of CCIO tokens and hence receive a larger portion of future dividends.</strong></p><p><strong>For example</strong>, let’s say there are 10,000 CCIO tokens in circulation and you own 1,000 CCIO tokens; this means that you’ll now own 10% of all the tokens and are entitled to receive 10% of CryptoControl’s dividends.</p><p>Now suppose someone decides to pay for CryptoControl’s terminal license with 2,000 CCIO tokens; Since those tokens will get burnt, the total supply of tokens reduces to 8,000 CCIO tokens.</p><p>But since you already hold 1,000 CCIO tokens; this implies that you’ll actually now own 12.5% of all the tokens and are entitled to receive 12.5% of CryptoControl’s dividends instead of 10% previously.</p><h3>4. CCIO tokens have a fixed rate, for use within CryptoControl</h3><p>CryptoControl will always accept CCIO tokens at a fixed rate of 1$ = 1000 CCIO tokens irrespective of the price on other markets/exchanges. This gives the CCIO token an underlying value which is backed by CryptoControl itself.</p><p><strong>For example, </strong>Let’s say you happen to buy 10,000 CCIO tokens from someone for just 1$. And suppose you wanted to buy something from CryptoControl using these tokens.</p><p>Because CryptoControl always values 1$ to 1000 CCIO tokens, this means that you can actually claim 10$ worth of services by spending your 10,000 CCIO tokens.</p><p>In reality though, you’ve only spent 1$; which means in effect this would be a 90% discount. <em>(The 9$ loss is borne by CryptoControl if the tokens go below the 1$ price).</em></p><h3>5. We don’t plan to do an ICO anytime soon</h3><p>While we don’t want to make it a habit to keep on fundraising, going the ICO way is clearly the most probable and the highest-ceiling route for CryptoControl.</p><p>Doing the ICO has a couple of major issues and for which we’ve decided to not do any token sale for at least the next 2–3 years. We explain our reasons below.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*lLuBE2LAnUoSRF337g5LKw.png" /><figcaption>Distribution of CCIO tokens; (45% will not be realised if we don’t do an ICO)</figcaption></figure><p><strong>5.1 Waiting for Regulations to clear out</strong>: As more and more attention draws to the crypto space, a lot more ICOs have come under the eyes of regulatory bodies (like the SEC) for selling unregistered securities to investors.</p><p>Unfortunately a lot of the ICOs to date were straight out scams and as such have given a bad light to the entire ICO concept. Until we see any clarity on regulations coming into this space, we won’t be conducting any ICO of any sort and won’t claim any profits by selling our own tokens.</p><p><em>(Note: We’re keeping an eye on security tokens and STOs, and might possibly upgrade CCIO to a security token depending upon the developments in the space)</em></p><p><strong>5.2 Drive more organic demand for CCIO tokens</strong>: CryptoControl has planned to give at most 60% of all CCIO tokens to it’s users over the span of the next 3 years.</p><p>This means that until an ICO happens, a massive chunk of CCIO tokens will be owned solely by CryptoControl’s users and interested parties will have to buy CCIO tokens from these users and not from CryptoControl directly.</p><p>This in turn will drive organic buy/sell activity amongst token holders and we believe this will improve the token’s liquidity.</p><p><strong>5.3 Maturity of the product:</strong> It takes a lot of time and effort to build a product that’ll drive massive value to our users and that can truly disrupt the entire crypto industry.</p><p>While CryptoControl’s terminal launch has been incredibly successful we still want to remind ourselves that there’s a very long way to go.</p><p>Which is why our team is 100% committed and focused in putting at least 2–3 year’s worth of product development before we raise any money from the public via an ICO/IPO.</p><p><strong>Note: </strong>By not doing an ICO, this does not mean that we intend to stay private for a very long time; because majority of our tokens will already be distributed to the public before the ICO happens, it will mean that the CCIO tokens will already be traded across many exchanges, CryptoControl will certainly behave like a public company.</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>With the launch of the CCIO token, we here at CryptoControl strongly believe that we’re setting the right example for future crypto-startups to follow and that for the first time we’ll be able to properly make our users literally a part of our success.</p><p><strong>So join us in this journey and start earning your own CCIO tokens when you sign up with CryptoControl.

We’re letting people use the rich metadata from our powerful news-engine to create beautiful products. And that too for free.</p><h3>Why create an API?</h3><p>We’ve spent <strong><em>years</em></strong> perfecting our news engine to where it is today and one thing we can say for sure is that <strong>running a news engine is just damn hard</strong>.</p><p>But at the same time, while our news engine is powering our website, mobile apps and chatbots, we believe that it’d probably bring a lot more value to developers who are looking to create something useful or insightful with crypto news. Developers who might do a much better job than us.</p><p>That’s why by releasing our APIs, we want to release the burden from developers in setting up a news engine and let them just focus only on their product.</p><p>How can you get access?</p><p>It’s pretty simple. Just visit the CryptoControl API page <a href="https://cryptocontrol.io/apis"><strong>https://cryptocontrol.io/apis</strong></a> and signup. All logged-in users get their api keys almost instantly.</p><p>API access is rate-limited at 10,000 requests an hour. So it’d be a good to cache your API calls.</p><h3>Working with your favourite SDK</h3><p>We’ve already published SDKs for different languages (Node.js, Ruby, Python etc.) already.</p><ul><li><strong>Node.js (npm)</strong>: <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/crypto-news-api">https://www.npmjs.com/package/crypto-news-api</a></li><li><strong>Browser (bower)</strong>: <a href="https://github.com/cryptocontrol/nodejs-api">https://github.com/cryptocontrol/nodejs-api</a></li><li><strong>Python (pip)</strong>: <a href="https://pypi.org/project/crypto-news-api">https://pypi.org/project/crypto-news-api</a></li><li><strong>Java (maven): </strong><a href="https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.cryptocontrol/crypto-news-api">https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.cryptocontrol/crypto-news-api</a></li><li><strong>PHP (composer):</strong> <a href="https://packagist.org/packages/cryptocontrol/crypto-news-api">https://packagist.org/packages/cryptocontrol/crypto-news-api</a></li></ul><h3>Hall of fame</h3><p>To showcase some of the awesome stuff that we hope people will be building with our APIs, we’re introducing the <a href="https://cryptocontrol.io/hall-of-fame">“CryptoControl Hall of fame”</a> where we’ll be showcasing all such products that the CryptoControl API.</p><p>Hall of famers will get special attention on the CryptoControl website and will get a backlink from CryptoControl for good on the CryptoControl page.</p><p>If you’d like to get recognised in this wall of fame, all you have to do is create something useful with the CryptoControl API and let us know about what you’ve built (<a href="/service/mailto:contact@cryptocontrol.io">contact@cryptocontrol.io</a>).</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>We can’t wait to see what you’ll be building with CryptoControl.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=3eeaafad2db1" width="1" height="1" alt=""><hr><p><a href="https://medium.com/cryptocontrol/crypto-news-api-3eeaafad2db1">Crypto News API now launched!</a> was originally published in <a href="https://medium.com/cryptocontrol">CryptoControl</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>]]></content:encoded>

The creator, <br>Marcos Weskamp (a data visualizer guy) thought it would be pretty cool if you could somehow figure out a way to visualize news using coloured tiles.</p><p>Newsmap.jp did something quite interesting. Marcos used tiles to represent articles, with the size of each tile determining how important the article is, and the colour of the tile representing what category the article was. He then used a <a href="http://www.baeldung.com/java-treemap">TreeMap</a> to figure out how to fit each tile into the screen and then end result was this.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*RUCbagZWUl4cGuRwruLqmg.png" /><figcaption>A screenshot of the early newsmap.jp</figcaption></figure><p>All the articles were coming from Google News’s RSS feed and everything was made using Adobe’s flash.</p><p>It was an immediate sensation which went so viral that it even got featured in an HP TV ad called <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2010/01/19/hp-shows-off-wall-of-touch-concept-touching-optional/">“Wall of touch”</a>.</p><p>Today, however the site is now defunct. And all that remains of it are videos on YouTube and articles on how it worked.</p><p>But at CryptoControl, we decided that we really should do something to innovate and help make our web more appealing to our crypto-readers. While most of traffic was coming from the mobile app, we really wanted to do something with the website as well.</p><p>So hence, after 2 months of design, coding and testing, we came up with our own crypto news heatmap.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*A1_b9sP5bvbXNYa4FDvGqQ.png" /><figcaption>The first version of our crypto newsmap. We didn’t have our category engine setup yet.</figcaption></figure><p>One of the biggest challenges we faced was to figure out how to categorize articles, so that we could colour-code each tile on the basis of which category it was.</p><p>For newsmap.jp, this was quite easy because they were getting all the data from Google News, which had a very powerful aggregation engine.</p><p>Whereas for us, we had created our own scrapers and algorithms. This meant that we also had to code and implement our own categorization engine as well.</p><p>And so we did. We looked different crypto news websites to see what were the prominent news categories that they had, and we eventually came down to 7. Governments, ICOs, Mining, Analysis, Exchanges, Blockchain and General.</p><p>With the categories in place, we took a sample set of 1000 articles for each category and used an AI to understand how likely is article supposed from either one of the categories.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*eNu_ISrVCtKgAtA_AqP-qA.png" /><figcaption>A screenshot of the weights we got for the blockchain category.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*Ci1BOD1D3hDqvq5N2yz9bw.png" /></figure><p>This post marks the beginning of a very long journey that the CryptoControl team has had with the public launch of our app, today.</p><p>I believe it’s very important for the general public for me to write this, to explain to people, what the company is about, what we’re trying to do and where we’ll be headed in the future.</p><h3><strong>Just briefly, what the hell is CryptoControl?</strong></h3><p>CryptoControl is simply an information site for crypto. It mainly you track crypto news from over 1000+ different sources, track market data and let’s you manage your crypto portfolio.</p><p>Right now, it’s primarily available on mobile. The web version is also live, but the mobile gives a much more richer experience.</p><p>News is what CryptoControl is really good at. Which is why we often like to call it as “the <strong>Google-news for Crypto”</strong>.</p><h3>So why did we build it in the first place?</h3><p>Because news is really really important and it plays such a huge part in our daily lives.</p><p>Our goal is to make CryptoControl eventually a source where people can find all kinds of information in just one place. This would make people more smarter/aware when it comes to crypto.</p><p>So really, our mission here is to create a product that’ll help grow and serve the crypto-community. That’s it.</p><p><strong>We’re starting off with news, because news is what we do <em>really really</em> well.</strong></p><p>Just to elaborate.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*g-SbN1hFjAYm9x8DKZ5jkQ.png" /></figure><p>This screenshot on the left showcases the news screen page of the mobile app.</p><p>Notice how each article is tagged with the coin that it is mentioning? And right below that we have a list of similar articles that are talking about the same article?</p><p>That’s some of the magic that our news engine is capable of and we’re trying to do our best in making it better; so that our users always get the most relevant and high quality news articles possible.</p><h3>We’ll need a lot of help though</h3><p>It’s really hard for a crypto-product to become successful without a strong community. Which is why we really value our user so do reach out to us on <a href="/service/mailto:hello@cryptocontrol.io">email</a> or on <a href="https://t.me/joinchat/FI0eyQ36DcUh8h-_hrZH7g">telegram</a> and let us know what you have to say.</p><p>You can download the CryptoControl app on <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cryptocontrol">Android</a> or on <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/cryptocontrol/id1291497098">iOS</a>.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=7d2e729d1c6" width="1" height="1" alt=""><hr><p><a href="https://medium.com/cryptocontrol/happier-times-everything-has-a-beginning-7d2e729d1c6">Happier times: Everything has a beginning</a> was originally published in <a href="https://medium.com/cryptocontrol">CryptoControl</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>]]></content:encoded>
