The BIT algocoin facilitates processes for stores:
– Accept BIP and custom coins, exchanging them for the BIT stablecoin on the fly
– Send BIT to a special address, entering your Ethereum wallet in the payload
– Allow approx. one minute for USDT to be deposited (depends on the Ethereum network’s block time)
It works perfectly with @AnyCashBot, which offers loads of conversion options (thanks Scrooge for the heads-up!)

Minter Network’s Official Representatives
Starting summer, Minter Development Foundation will launch a program for licensing official representatives who will engage in the development of network’s products. In each country, one to three companies will be established. Upon the completion of certification procedures, they will be able to provide the following services:
– Development of individual solutions for enterprises
– Implementation of open-source solutions presented by the community
– Consultations on the issues related to launching a validator on the mainnet and sidechains
– Legal counseling
– Token purchase & sale coordination
– Participation in conferences, meetups, and other public events
Licenses will be awarded for a period of 12 months, with the option of a further extension. Representatives must cover their activity on a regular basis in the form of reports.
A legal entity registered in the country of representation is a mandatory condition.
MDF will allocate 100,000 to 300,000 BIP per month, depending on the overall activity and results shown.
In countries whose population is more than 100 million people, there may be three representatives; less than 100 million, two; less than 20 million, one. For individual countries with highly active communities, these limits may be revisited.
We kindly ask all interested parties to start preparatory work. We will publish the application form at some point next week. Selected winners will automatically appear on the minter.org website, sorted by country of presence. They will also be able to set their status to, for example, “Minter’s Official Representative in Ukraine” or “Minter’s Rep.” for short.
Each representative will have to specify their company’s key person to obtain the Verified status within the MinterID framework.
On its part, the team will provide representatives with maximum support and access to solutions that have not been released yet.
MDF aims to have no fewer than 25 representatives by the end of year. Through them, the network will enter local markets.

Crypto-Backed Lending
The BIT team built a prototype system that automatically issues short-term loans in BIP with ETH and USDT as collateral. Once Minter 2 is live, MinterEVM smart contracts will be running all processes independently.
As the network grows more popular, one will also be able to borrow BIP against future rewards from mining.
For now, you can test the alpha version using the @GarantoBot.
We urge all developers to actively learn Solidity and explore interesting cases on the Ethereum network that could later be brought to and applied in Minter 2.

🎉 The Minter blockchain turns one!
But this post is not only about the anniversary. Today also marks the point where Minter is stepping onto a brand new path by being listed on a major cryptocurrency exchange. Trading has already taken off, you can sign up here.
On the heels of adding support for BIP, Bithumb Global announced a three-part event to celebrate the arrival of a new member of its broad digital asset family. And as you all could expect, the prize pool is just as grand as the milestone: 2 million BIP.
We’ll have to stop here and just say that the competition will last for one week. To introduce all the details and conditions, we are turning the floor over to the platform itself.
