 Fwd: Dear patron readers, I've decided to move my publishing to the Steemit platform I hope this helps maintain a more accommodating and regularity of publishing.  
To new readers, you can find out more information about why I publish this and what this gazette is in the section just below.  
Thanks for reading.

-Fwd to run 5/14 - 5/25

  Why I am doing this daily report. 

 The research and reading I do everyday yields a surprisingly significant amount of information, providing an overview of sentiment, major news details, confluence factors, and insight into our cryptospace.    

Due to the encouragement of friends I decided to start making my personal blog, that I had been using to archive this information I aggregate, public.    
As a result I've found that by publishing I've been receiving support for the time and effort I spend formatting and sharing out this information.

Additionally, it has also encouraged a small community of conversation over the topics I share, I've been finding this rewarding and motivating to further pursue more news/information within the space when prompted by my readers.
The ultimate result is, this has become an interesting project that I'm continuing to enjoy and engage in and pleased to continue to offer. 

  What is the Daily Dimes?  

The Daily Dimes is a publish where I post an aggregate of news information that I come across in the cryptospace every day.  There are two sections found below:  

• A news bulletin section, where I cover brief descriptions of noteworthy news and developments with sources for further reading.   

-and-  

• A trading report section, where I release signals and information from my paid memberships, private groups, and personal trades that I'm monitoring, as well as my own market analysis.

• China released at least part of it's review of the 28 coins it selected for review, releasing the first 15 review of it's 28 selected projects. Unsurprisingly we're seeing Steem and Ethereum at the top much like in the Weiss review.  These projects have easy to see utility cases and as such have been getting the bulk of attention for major players entering the space and reviewing things for the first time.
  And we're also seeing Bitcoin near the middle of the pack, again no surprise as larger entities are having a hard time measuring it's 'utility' which may or may not change with Lightning network updates.  
  
  Other noteables in the top 5 are:
  Lisk, which is a modular crypto and actively using side chains already.  It's had a vast following and a fair amount of hype over the past year securing its place as a top coin.
  
  Neo which is China's leader in the cryptospace being a project that has heavily favored working together with Chinese gov't in an attempt to get connections into China and stay there from when it started as Antshares.
  
  Komodo a project that I am fairly bullish on, Komodo is releasing an updated 'grandma proof' decentralized exchange this year built on atomic swaps, they have currently begun running dICO's which are trending well, and they are testing sidechains tx/s which I recently reported on was in conjunction with Amazaon AWS servers with a goal to hit 1million tx/s.  Which as a side not is starting to look possible.    
  
  I've posted the remainder of the chart below the exceprt beneath it is just commenting on the coins that were rated 16-28 which I am unsure at this time of if they will have a stats release of their own.

• Bitfinex is updating their customers on new TOS for reporting certain account information, as a result customers of Bitfinex need to fill out 'self-certification' forms that allow the British Virgin Islands to gain access to each customers tax residence.  These need to be completed by May 24th.  There has been an increasing urgency for things to be completed prior to June of this year by various exchanges and groups.  I'm anticipating an event within the space to occur starting at the 3rd quarter of this year, although I can't say what that event is.
  
  There is even a special mention just for US residents.  I'm considering this another bullish sign for decentralized exchanges which I'll be looking to due a full workup on in the future and hope to release my results to those interested in reading about the various DEX projects out there and where they are going.
  
  
  







• Komodo is doing a soft release of their new HyperDEX, which is supposedly going to be the 'super user friendly' version of their currently existing decentralized exchange dubbed 'BarterDEX'.  
  Soft launch is set for May 21st.
  And on an update of their tx/s testing there was a pleasant visualization created showing comparative tx/s on other chains vs KMD as it hit just under 14k tx/s on a recent steady test.

• Howeycoins, where do I get them!?  The SEC has created a website showcasing items to look for when it comes to fraudulent ICO's and projects.  The goal being to help inform the population of basic stimulus to avoid.  The name of the coin that they are pho-offering is called HoweyCoins.  
  Feel free to check out the website here it's worth a click through if for nothing other than a laugh, to also get an idea of the SEC's advertising sentiment for fraudulent activity.  HOWEYCOINS
  
  Is also noteworthy that the end of the SEC's press releasing pertaining to this states
  "Remember, a free and simple way to protect your money is to research investments and the people who sell them. You can do all that and more on the SEC’s investor education website, Investor.gov."
  This closing statement is an interesting footnote to end on which is indicating that the SEC is perceiving ICO's and crypto in general as an investment source, so much so that they've just accepted it and move on to endorse the idea themselves saying 'get educated before you do this', instead of 'consider if you should do this'.  The latter of which has been their ongoing motto.

• Germany's 'Börse Stuttgart' is concentrating it's efforts on crypto launching new exchange pairs.  The exchange handles around 100$ billion in trading volumes and has released trading pairs for BTC, ETH, LTC, and XRP.  Source
