We're currently working on a piece regarding the US Banking
Regulator (OCC) greenlighting the custody of crypto assets by
federally chartered banks, what this change means for crypto
exchanges, crypto firms and investors in general.. Even the
impact of BTC price hitting 10k based on this news and the $2
Trillion Fed stimulus expected. We're looking to get insights on
the following subjects:
Will banks actually take up this opportunity? Or will the
industry show the same reluctance it has in the past?
What does this change for the crypto exchanges?
How does this impact crypto custody firms? Likes Coinsbase,
Satoshi Labs etc.
Considering that change happened in Germany a few months ago,
how is this similar or different to the implications of that
change?
What does this change for investors? Are there any disadvantages
of this move?
This news along with expected $2 Trillion Fed stimuli, has sent
the price of BTC and even Ether to soaring highs and growing.
Will this price rally continue? Are any more factors causing
this?
Please feel free to add any additional details that you feel I
might have failed to consider in relation to this subject.

Query:
Due to the Black Lives Matter movement, many companies have
stated a commitment to make internal changes to their company
culture and operations.
This article, in part, will provide guidance on how companies
interested in updating their mission, values, goals, and overall
business models and operations can go through this process in a
meaningful, seamless way so that their new company vision can be
realized as quickly as possible.
I am looking for tangible - not aspirational - information on
how companies can do this. So many companies have said they are
committed and will make these changes ... but how? That's where
I need an expert to provide information.
Requirements:
I am looking for a business consultant, business coach, or
similar to provide tangible guidance for this article.
Ideally, I would love to feature a BIPOC as a source.
I anticipate being overwhelmed with responses, so please provide
your answers to the following questions when responding. I will
get in contact with sources I'm considering for more information.
> If a company has stated a commitment to change in regard to
race-related representation, sponsorships/partnerships, etc.,
what should it do next? Where should a company start with the
transition into a more racially aware and inclusive company?
> How can a company ensure it remains focused on this goal
versus letting this become just another "good idea" or
"something to do someday?"
> Generally, what are the biggest challenges to changing a
company's culture or foundation? How can a company making a
major change like this make sure it succeeds in meeting this
challenge?

Query:
Last week, we saw almost 300 reporters and editors with the Wall
Street Journal write a letter to the publisher objecting to the
factchecking practices by the opinion side. This is the latest
internal dustup that went very public at a major newspaper.
Previously, the staff angst over the Tom Cotton op-ed made big
news. There have been reports about similar instances at the
Washington Post, Philadelphia Inquirer and others. I'm looking
for someone to comment: Is this type of thing healthy or
unhealthy? Would these type of things have happened so publicly
10 years or even five years ago? What does it mean for the
future of newsrooms and opinion side? It doesn't seem we've
seen this spillover as much into TV news outlets--at least not
as publicly. Do we know why?
Requirements:
I'm looking for anyone with a background that allows them to
speak authoritatively about media trends. This could be a
journalism professor, someone with a journalism organization or
someone who could be a credible media watchdog. This is for a
written story. So, this would be a phone interview or even
written responses. Thank you.

Media Outlet: Red Diamonds Newsletter
Deadline: 1:00 PM EST - 29 July
Query:
TOPIC: the dull, uninspired, flat apology and the negative
impact on relationship and reputation.
ANGLE: hopefully we've never offered up such an apology. I
speculate most of us have received one like I describe, either
from an organization of some type or an individual. I want to
converse about the unintended but very real negative impact it
has on relationship and reputation for an organization and
individual alike. I am not as interested in someone's personal
story unless it is a very well known story nationally. This
interview is more generally speaking.
THE WHAT: a brief email interview
SOURCE: psychologists, PR professionals, professors, media
professionals, authors, attorneys, large companies or anyone
with tremendous insight that resonates with the topic, angle and
my mind.
PUBLICATIONS: this will become a Red Diamonds Features piece and
also be included in the Red Diamonds Newsletter. Both are
published on Medium and shared on LinkedIn (5700+ contacts) and
Twitter (500+) and a brand new (one week old) Instagram account
(Red Diamonds Media) where I share the best quotes from
articles. If you don't want it shared on IG, I don't have to do
such.
Requirements:
INTRODUCTION: please write a tight, precise, concise
introduction about yourself: your full name and your profession.
NEXT: write a description of why this topic and angle interest
you.
THEN: write your focused, initial impressions about the topic
and angle.
DETAILS: I will contact the person or persons I wish to
interview. I can use what you share in your initial response yet
I will likely want to briefly interview you by email too. I am
most interested in responsive people who stay focused on the
topic and angle and also can reply promptly to the interview
questions. I will also request a professional-looking photo, not
too small, not excessively large, in focus to upload with the
article.
THE PLAN: this article will be for next week's newsletter. Thank
you. :)

Category: High TechEmail: query-b2g2@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: Cointelegraph
Deadline: 5:00 PM GMT - 27 July
Query:
I'm seeking security experts who can comment on the topic of a
51% attack and the Dash's ChainLocks technology.
Dash claims it has been the world's safest cryptocurrency for a
year now thanks to its brand-new technology called ChainLocks
that makes a 51% attack impossible.
https://twitter.com/StayDashy/status/1278683418738544641
Andreas Antonopoulos previously told that an attacker needs to
do a 60% attack if they want to hack Dash. I would like to know
if this is the case and figure out if anything changed over the
past year.
How important this technology is, given that today's cost of a
51% attack on Bitcoin is over $20 million that makes it
cost-ineffective and hence almost impossible?
Requirements:
The comments should come from security experts with a broad
understanding of blockchain security.

Query:
Hey HARO family,
Currently working on a new piece for Cointelegraph regarding the
Chinese as well as the global crypto mining sector. Was looking
for experts to provide their insights in regard to a few
questions:
(i) China-based mining pool Btc.top is looking to redefine the
concept of cloud mining, which will allow users to mine crypto
remotely by buying a certain amount of hash power from a
third-party, with what it calls "joint mining." While on paper
this concept sounds quite appealing, how feasible and
financially viable is BTC.top's vision in reality? For example,
as per reports, operational/usage rates are subject change once
the rainy season in Sichuan is over since at least some of its
mining farms are located there.
(ii) If BTC.top's business model does succeed, do you think more
and more companies will follow suit and start to employ this
strategy? Are their other companies that are exploring novel
mining setups? If so, would you be kind enough to point out some
examples of the same?
(iii) With PoS-based networks fast gaining traction in recent
times, how competitive is the mining scene at the moment in your
opinion? What does the future look like for this niche market
sector?
(iv) Do you foresee China's dominance within the crypto mining
market shifting in the foreseeable future, especially after a
few more countries recently put a ban on all crypto-mining
related activities (such as Venezuela)?
(v) Please feel free to add any more details that you may see
fit in relation to this subject.
For your time, we will be more than happy to add your name,
company details in the piece. However, please note that my
editors don't allow me to include any backlinks int he piece.
Looking forward to hearing from y'all
Regards
Requirements:
Comments should only come from Crypto mining experts (preferably
from ones operating in China).
