VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug 30 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CoinField, Canada’s most advanced Bitcoin and cryptocurrency exchange is continuing its rapid expansion, announcing the growth of its international reach, a host of 8 new coins available for trading, acceptance of 4 new fiat currencies, across-the-board fee reductions, and a revolutionary step forward in its matching engine technology with capability of more than 1.5 million API calls per second. These upgrades across the board will be the foundation of CoinField for global expansion.
Already the most advanced cryptocurrency exchange in Canada, CoinField is set to bring the same robust trading platform technology, convenience, and diversity to the European, Asian & Latin American markets in September 2018.
Cryptocurrency is starting to attract a buzz in Europe, with a June 2018 survey revealing 25% of Europeans expect to acquire crypto in the future. This statistic, in addition to the 9% of Europeans - 66.7 million - who already own some matter of cryptocurrency, breeds considerable optimism around the future of cryptocurrency in Europe. That optimism, among other factors, weighed heavily on CoinField in its decision to upgrade its security protocol to ensure new users are afforded the utmost in protection. The enterprise has upgrade its Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) policies for the good of current and future users.
CoinField’s move into a larger international trading environment will be accompanied by an expansion in the currencies accepted to make deposits that can be converted into cryptocurrencies. Four new fiat currencies, the Euro (EUR), British pound sterling (GBP), Japanese yen (JPY) and United Arab Emirates Dirham (AED) can now be directly deposited into accounts to finance cryptocurrency trades. These four economic stalwarts join the US and Canadian dollars as CoinField’s accepted fiat currencies. They will also be part of CoinField’s direct Crypto pairs.
September will mark the arrival of eight new cryptocurrency offerings for CoinField users. There will be further coins added during the remainder of 2018.
The new cryptocurrencies joining CoinField’s diverse offering include: Zcash (ZEC), 0x (ZRX), Golem (GNT), OmiseGO (OMG), Zilliqa (ZIL), Augur (REP), Basic Attention Token (BAT) and Salt (SALT).
New markets, new fiat currencies, new coins, reduced fee schedule and boosted technology are all on deck for September with CoinField, but the powerful platform wants to give its users old and new the best way to engage and get the results they want when dealing in cryptocurrency. The new version of the CoinField matching engine has been architected from the ground up by CoinField’s own in-house tech team.
“Our matching engine is now powered by an enterprise-level technology capable of up to 75,000 trading transactions per second and more than 1.5 million API calls per second. We have been extremely focusing on R&D as our vision is to become the most advanced independent cryptocurrency exchange globally” CoinField CTO Reza Bashash said.
These blazingly fast speeds are integrated with robust new levels of security to keep customers, their coins, and their confidence intact no matter what time of day they’re engaging in transactions. The upgraded matching engine will be CoinField’s outward facing signature declaring it has become one of the world’s most advanced cryptocurrency exchanges.
CoinField believes that if you aren’t constantly improving your offering, you risk falling behind. As part of its drive to become the main trading platform in Canada while also building its global market share, CoinField will soon to reducing some of its trading and funding fees and waiving others altogether. Fees often act as a significant barrier to users being able to make profits or correctly invest the amounts they wish in the cryptocurrencies they wish. A new schedule will be published in the near future on CoinField’s website at http://www.coinfield.com
CoinField will also be rewarding its loyal users by introducing a unique “Referral Program” in September. It will be available to most countries around the world and will offer bonus to users who bring in new participants to the platform. More details will be revealed in the near future.
This news follows CoinField’s August announcement of a partnership with moonGO™, an app that offers commission-free trading and allows for the withdrawal of fiat currency as Euro or US dollars in the form of moonGO™ cards to make purchases online or at any retailer that accepts credit cards.

Giant marks Anniversary & Merdeka with 'little giant stories'
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 28 (Bernama) -- As a long-standing name in the Malaysian retail scene, Giant Hypermarkets (Giant) is celebrating its 74th anniversary and National Day on Aug 31 with personal and heart-warming stories from its staff and customers.
The campaign, billed ‘Little Giant Stories’, shows Giant as a household name among Malaysians, as well as its role as one of the largest employers in Malaysia.
Among the stories featured are those of its employees’ life and career growth. One of them is K. Malathy, a single mother of two who reminisced the early stages of her journey with Giant and working multiple jobs to support her family.
"When I started at Giant, I had to clean houses on my off days to support my family. Now I own three houses, two which I rent out.
“A lot of people looked down on me at that time, even making fun of how I was a cleaner. Twenty six years with Giant, I really believe that I wouldn’t have made it in life without the support and opportunities at Giant,” said Malathy.
Giant, in a statement, said: “With stores in almost every community around the nation and 74 years of experience in the local market, it’s no wonder every one of us have a unique Giant story to tell - especially those who are a part of our Giant Family.”

[1] Definition of capacity: A terabyte (TB) is 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1TB = 240 = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity (including examples of various media files) will vary based on file size, formatting, settings, software and operating system and/or pre-installed software applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacities may vary.
[2] Read and write speed may vary depending on the host device, read and write conditions, and file size.
[3] Form Factor: "3.5-inch" means the form factor of HDDs. They do not indicate drive's physical size.
[4] Power efficiency is calculated based on active idle power consumption divided by formatted capacity.
[5] Total Cost of Ownership.

TOKYO, Aug 28 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation, a committed technology leader, today announced its new Enterprise Capacity 14TB [1] and 12TB helium-sealed SAS HDD models. The MG07SCA Series features 7,200 rpm performance, a SAS 12Gbit Interface [2], and Advanced Format Sector Technology. The hard disk drive boasts an industry-leading, 9-disk helium-sealed design and 14TB of Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) capacity for optimum compatibility. Toshiba’s helium-sealed design fits into industry standard 3.5-inch [3] drive bays. A 12TB model is also included in the Series offering.

The innovative 9-disk helium-sealed design utilizes Toshiba’s precision laser welding process, and a special top-cover design seals helium inside the drive offering high capacity and low power profile to the product. The SAS interface provides 12Gbits transfer rate performance and dual port capability for the data-path redundancy preferred by many storage solutions designers. The 14TB SAS model offers approximately a 40% increase in maximum capacity over Toshiba’s prior MG06 10TB SAS models.
“Toshiba’s new helium-sealed 14TB and 12TB SAS models expand the choices available to our cloud-scale and storage solutions customers. By utilizing an innovative 9-disk design, Toshiba provides both SAS and SATA models at an industry leading 14TB capacity,” said Shuji Takaoka, General Manager of Storage Products Sales & Marketing Division at Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation. “Our cloud-scale and storage solutions customers strongly value the power-efficient storage capacity enabled by Toshiba’s advanced 9-disk helium-sealed mechanics. By using helium to reduce the aerodynamic drag on the spinning media platters, the Toshiba 14TB model is able to provide approximately 55% (W/G[4]) lower operating power profile over the previous 10TB model, resulting in TCO [5] benefits for today’s dense storage platforms and cloud-scale service-solution architectures. Only helium-sealed HDD technology is able to deliver these customers’ TCO benefits with an amazingly low acquisition cost per GB.”
Toshiba continues to expand its HDD product offerings with higher storage capacity and performance. The MG07SCA Series further illustrates Toshiba’s capability to advance the design of HDD storage devices for cloud-scale server and storage infrastructure, and to realize more cost-effective data-protection, data-retention, content serving and digital archiving.
The 14TB and 12TB helium-sealed SAS HDD models are available for sampling today.

Notes:
[1] Definition of capacity: A terabyte (TB) is 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1TB = 240 = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity (including examples of various media files) will vary based on file size, formatting, settings, software and operating system and/or pre-installed software applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacities may vary.
[2] Read and write speed may vary depending on the host device, read and write conditions, and file size.
[3] Form Factor: "3.5-inch" means the form factor of HDDs. They do not indicate drive's physical size.
[4] Power efficiency is calculated based on active idle power consumption divided by formatted capacity.
[5] Total Cost of Ownership.
