The louder the threats in the political arena are, the faster gold extends gains. Despite a considerable number of various assets, including popular cryptocurrencies, investors still mostly rely on gold when global political tension grows.
This time gold prices increased amid heated rhetorics between the US and North Korea. Amid threats of a nuclear attack by the North Korean dictator, gold prices jumped close to $1,300 per ounce. In addition to the manic hysterics of Kim Jong Un, gold growth was also supported by the recent terrorist attack in Barcelona. All safe-haven assets rose sharply after the news about the incident. In this context, the next portion of negative news that affects gold is not so serious. US President Donald Trump stated that, in his opinion, the US government stands in the way of implementing his pre-election promises. Of course, this disagreement is not a threat of a nuclear war but also has a negative impact on financial stability.
As for North Korea, experts say that unfortunately they do not see what can change the situation for the better. Nevertheless, the demand for gold is likely to remain high, as today the United States and South Korea launched joint military exercises. Commerzbank noted that this could aggravate the conflict between the US and North Korea, which has recently grinded to a halt.

Along with the production of crypto-currency on an industrial scale, now there are people who practice it on old computers and retro devices. The details are in our photo gallery
During the last years, the bitcoin mining turned out to be a huge economic sector. At present, there are also specialized integrated circuits (ASIC) organized for this purpose, more powerful than previously used central processing units (CPU). Nowadays, the mining of digital currency on outdated computers is not effective, and the chances of getting a reward are too slim, but there are enthusiasts who make for it for the sake of experiment or out of interest.
One of such enthusiasts is Ken Shiriff who added a character of bitcoin to the system of Unicode symbols. Not long ago he renovated the Xerox Alto computer developed in the 1970s, where he managed to launch mining with speed of 1.5 hash per second. As he declared, although the process was possible, the Alto power was so low that it would have demanded much more time to get the unit than the universe existed.
One more project of Shiriff, on which he has already worked in 2015, is a mining through the 55-year-old IBM 1401 computer with speed of 80 seconds per one hash. He noted for comparison, that modern equipment could produce billions of hashes per a second, the 1401 computer needs 80 seconds to compute one hash, that clearly demonstrated how much the effectiveness of computers had increased over the past decades.
The next extremely slow miner was created in 2013, with a help of the Nintendo Entertainment System gaming machine of 1985 (NES) with Internet connection and a usage of the Raspberry Pi computer which gets data fragments, compiles them in ROM including the SHA algorithm and current target data, and sents them to the USB CopyNES console. While every ROM computes and tests a single hash.
Experimenters move forward and also discuss the possibility of mining with the help of other game consoles, in particular, Playstation 3.

It is hard to stay positive when things go wrong, but some people have this unique ability to keep chin up even in tricky situations. The Russian authorities possess this valuable quality. The United States have recently approved a new package of sanctions against the mighty trio – Iran, Russia and North Korea, but Vladimir Chizhov, Russia’s ambassador to the EU, found a positive aspect.
The official stated that the Russian diplomacy secured a victory once again. One verb was enough to lift spirits. The ambassador turned more positive after a verb “shall” had been replaced with “may”. Mr. Chizhov thinks that this is a great achievement. He said that it happened owing to Russia’s smart foreign policy. Thus, the Russian authorities are under the illusion that they can cultivate the necessary qualities in the US policymakers. Meanwhile, the Americans do not bother to discuss any terms and conditions of the new sanctions with Russia. In fact, it was the Europeans who called for a replacement of the verb, not the Americans. However, the EU influence is not strong enough to change the attitude towards Russia. Meanwhile, the odds of allowing Russia to participate in international energy projects rose from 10% to 33%, but Vladimir Chizhov said that it does not refer to the Nord Stream 2. Still, nothing matters more than a positive mood.
