From the growing dominance of XRP, to the Bitcoin Lightning network and the expansion of the Ethereum Enterprise Alliance, here are some of the stories that open up in the world of cryptography.
Ripple and XRP
The dominance of the XRP market is increasing. On 15 September, the XRP accounted for approximately 5.65% of the total capitalization of the cryptocurrency. Since then, the number has more than doubled and now stands at 11.92%, according to CoinMarketCap.
Meanwhile, a new survey of Ripple employees finds that the blockchain and the startup crypt are treating their employees the right way.
The review from the Great Place to Work Institute found that 91% of the company's employees say that their jobs are exceptional. The survey is based on answering questions of 139 employees, with a confidence level of 90% and a margin of error of ± 4.26.
Bitcoin
The power of Bitcoin's Lightning Network has increased significantly in the last week.
New numbers from 1ML show that the total capacity of the network has increased by almost 300%, thanks to the addition of new nodes.
Ethereum
The Ethereum Enterprise Alliance has just opened a new regional office in Seoul.
"Combined with the EEA's regional office in Tokyo, South Korea's new footprint and dedicated leadership of blockchain Enterprise Ethereum Joonho Park will allow EEA to accelerate adoption global EEA standards and certification programs ".
The alliance is made up of over 300 companies that focus on creating new standards for Ethcioum-based blockchain enterprise solutions.
Stellar
The Lightning network will be launched on the Stellar network in about a week. Here is a look at the roadmap.
litecoin
In a series of tweets, the founder of Litecoin, Charlie Lee, thinks about how he stopped 51% attacks on the network in the early days.
1 / In the early days of Litecoin (2011), there were 51% threats of attacks. To keep Litecoin safe, I used the checkpoints. The checkpoint is a centralized feature as it is based on the decision of the developers to determine which is the right chain. But for the beginning of a coin it made sense.

3 / I also considered the possibility of avoiding big re-orgs in the code, but I decided not to do it. There's a good reason why I did it in Litecoin and why Satoshi did not do it for Bitcoin. Satoshi said it best in one of his e-mails. https://t.co/GuWWkyzhVv pic.twitter.com/TKmQ3YZ5Df

5/5 If this is not true, then it is not decentralized since you have to trust someone to tell you what the right chain is. The whole point of decentralization and sound money is that you do not have to trust anyone.
