Bitcoin Magazine’s Week in Review brings you the most critical, interesting and popular news stories affecting Bitcoin this week.

Heavy-Handed Regulations Run Cryptominers Out of Iran

Large-scale miners in Iran have begun to move abroad as a result of strict cryptomining regulations imposed by the government in early August 2019. After over a year of back and forth, the Iranian government finally recognized cryptomining as an industry, but it comes at a steep price for miners. The price of electricity offered to miners is equivalent to the average price at which Iran exports electricity to other countries. Many miners have decided to move to other countries, including Russia, Georgia, Kazakhstan and even Iraq as a result of prices they deemed to be uneconomical and noncompetitive. 

Payments 

PwC Luxembourg to Start Accepting Bitcoin Payments

PwC, the world’s second-largest professional services firm, will begin to accept bitcoin payments from clients on October 1, 2019. The company announced in early September 2019 that the accepting bitcoin payments is a response to growing market demand. Despite Bitcoin’s historical reputation as a symbol of rebellion and a contributor to cyber crime, the company said that Bitcoin continues to serve as a reliable payment system that cannot be compromised.  With the new bitcoin payments, clients are granted a more secure payment alternative to traditional assets.

“Ledger of Szabo” Brings Bitcoin Compatibility to Zelda-Style Game

Crypto focused gaming company Blockade Games has released a new game called “The Legend of Szabo,” an overt homage to the flagship game “The Legend of Zelda.” The style and vibe of the game is a replication of Zelda, but one geared toward the Bitcoin community. The main difference between the two games is the selection of weapons, as “The Legend of Szabo” features weapons that serve as metaphors for the bitcoin market. Plus, players of “Szabo” are offered actual monetary rewards, something “Zelda” does not currently offer.

Hardware Wallets Just Got a Bit More Secure With Trezor’s Shamir Backups

Hardware wallets have been the most reliable technology when it comes to securely storing bitcoin, but what happens if you lose your backup seed, or the hardware breaks, gets lost or is stolen? SatoshiLabs, the company behind the Trezor hardware wallet, has come up with a solution to ensure that users are still able to access their wallets, despite any unfortunate events. Based on the Secret Sharing cryptographic algorithm, the new Shamir Backups allow users to split their back up seeds into several word lists or shares, and private keys can be recovered by combining a predetermined subset of the shares.
