Other notable investors include Atari, Coatue Management, Rogue Capital Partners, TQ Ventures, and Signia Venture Partners.

The aforementioned $15 million seed will help fund the development of a game that promises to take gaming to the next level, by adding a live media component. The company also aims to build a social community around its game engine.

During the recent years, portalone gaming devices have been declining in popularity. But a group of former Atari employees has decided to start a fund to support portalone gaming devices. Their goal is to raise $1 million by the end of the year. They believe there is a demand for port-alone devices in the market. They have already raised over $100,000 and hope to raise more funds. They have already invested in companies such as Twitch and Atari. The former employees believe there is enough interest in the project to raise money.

Among the investors are Xen Lategan, the former executive advisor at several companies, and Mike Morhaime, the founder of Dreamhaven. Others include Talis Capital, TQ Ventures, and Signia Venture Partners. The company’s primary product encrypts data before it leaves a computer. It also offers the ability to block cookies and trackers. They are in closed beta right now, but they hope to enter the market soon.

Portalone has been gaining attention for its unique data protection methods. It has a browser extension that blocks cookies, trackers, and government surveillance. The company has been working with companies such as Twitch, which is a live streaming video platform. They have also invested in eSports.

Having raised over $15 million, PortalOne, a hybrid gaming and TV show app, is getting ready to launch into the market. The startup company has secured investments from a number of top players in the gaming industry, including Atari, Twitch, and Coatue Management. It is also backed by investors such as Sunny Dhillon, the founder of Signia Venture Partners and the former CTO of Hulu, and Talis Dhillon, the founder of TQ Ventures.

PortalOne is also working with a number of gaming companies, including Riot Games, Blizzard, and Dreamhaven. The company’s main product is an online security tool that encrypts data before it leaves the computer, protecting it from hackers and government surveillance. The company also aims to create a social community around its game engine.

The company’s other investors include Atari, Founders Fund, Seedcamp, Rogue Capital Partners, and Coatue Management. It also has investment from Twitch, the popular live-streaming video platform. According to the company’s COO, eSports is the fastest-growing category in the gaming industry.

Earlier this year, a group of former Atari employees launched a fund to support the development of the Port alone, a gaming device. They believe there is enough interest in the project to raise the required funding. Their goal is to raise $1 million by the end of the year.

The company is led by Atari founder Nolan Bushnell, who is also the CEO of Twitch, the live-streaming video platform. Twitch co-founder Kevin Lin is also part of the investment. Other investors include Atari, Talis Capital, SNO Ventures, and Seedcamp.

Atari hopes to capitalize on the portability of its Portalone gaming device, which is also able to stream to Twitch-enabled devices. Portability has always been a key factor in the gaming industry. The Portalone is compact and light, which helps make it easy to carry around. It also offers a browser extension that helps users block trackers and cookies. The product is also designed to encrypt data before it leaves a computer, protecting it from hackers and government surveillance.

PortalOne, the creator of what the company is calling ‘the world’s first hybrid games platform’, has secured $15 million in seed funding from some very heavy hitters in the worlds of tech, games, and media, including Twitch, Blizzard, Riot & Atari.

The company is bringing together the worlds of TV production and game development, and tying it all together with tech. PortalOne has developed a blend of streaming video and interactive games, delivered to virtual reality headsets or mobile phones. Users can participate in live streamed ‘game shows’, within which they can compete in interactive games.

After running a closed beta of its service for the last several months, the company is now preparing to launch in the US later this year, with the retro-inspired PortalOne Arcade, which will place the show’s guests inside ‘super-sized’ versions of classic arcade games – they’ve just signed an exclusive seven year deal with Atari – as well as original new titles.

PortalOne is also planning to open its platform up to third party creators, enabling other companies to publish their own hybrid games.

While the blend of live-streamed video and online gaming may not seem like a natural combination, some of the world’s biggest tech, media and games investors are giving PortalOne their support.

The $15m seed funding round included: Founders Fund (Peter Thiel), TQ Ventures (Scooter Braun, Schuster Tanger and Andrew Marks) and Signia Venture Partners whose LPs include Warner Bros., Disney and Tencent.

The round also saw participation from a number of high profile angel investors, including Kevin Lin (co-founder of Twitch), Mike Morhaime (co-founder of Blizzard and Dreamhaven), Amy Morhaime (co-founder of Dreamhaven), Marc Merrill (co-founder of Riot Games), Xen Lategan (former CTO and executive advisor at various companies such as Hulu), and Eugene Wei (former Head of Video at Oculus and Head of Product at Hulu). PortalOne’s strategic partners Atari and ARRI also invested.

PortalOne was co-founded in Norway, by brothers Stig Olav Kasin and Bård Anders Kasin. Bård previously worked as a Technical Director at Warner Bros. where he worked on revolutionary movie productions like the Matrix Trilogy. He also previously co-founded The Future Group, which provides mixed reality solutions for media production. Stig Olav previously worked as an award-winning developer and executive producer of interactive entertainment and mobile games. His background as television executive includes leading roles for shows like The Voice and Who Wants to be a Millionaire.

Bård Anders Kasin, CEO and Co-founder of PortalOne, said: “We are incredibly fortunate to have been joined by a number of true icons and visionaries who immediately grasped the unique potential of PortalOne. To get such strong backing from so many industry innovators at such an early stage of this journey is something you can only dream of. All of our investors bring tremendous value to the table and we are grateful for all of their support.”

Scooter Braun, Co-founder of TQ Ventures, said: “As PortalOne continues to grow, it is seamlessly integrating the gaming and entertainment worlds to create a single interactive experience and endless opportunities for content creation. Creators and performers alike want new and innovative ways to bring their craft to life, and PortalOne is meeting that demand in a way that no other business has done. I’m excited to work with the entire team to realize their trailblazing vision. I have never seen anything like this before.”

Kirill Tasilov, Principal at Talis Capital, said: “Massive opportunities continue to emerge in the interactive entertainment space as distribution and business models evolve. PortalOne is redefining mobile by unlocking new hybrid experiences at the intersection of games and video, and we are thrilled to be a part of their journey.”

Kevin Lin, Co-founder of Twitch, said: “The next big social platform will likely be a convergence of media with gaming at its core – a truly new immersive interactive experience – and PortalOne is a major contender for becoming such a platform.”

Sunny Dhillon, Partner at Signia Venture Partners, said: “When we see virtual concerts inside of TikTok, Roblox, and Fortnite, it’s great but PortalOne offers an evolution of interactive metaverse entertainment – true real-time, one-to-many interaction between gamers around the world, all in a mobile-native hybrid game format. We’re thrilled to partner with Bård Anders and Stig Olav on this journey.”

Delian Asparouhov, Principal at Founders Fund, said: “We back companies that we believe have strong potential to become global category leaders. PortalOne creates a new category and simultaneously the platform that is clearly set to dominate that new category. The market is ripe, the opportunity is clear, and the potential is unlimited. PortalOne is poised to create a before and after in the industry.”

Why 918Kiss is the best live casino after COVID for various reasons

Why 918Kiss is the best live casino after COVID for various reasons

It is safe to assume that the idea of online gambling was generally successful, especially during the quarantine period when most things weren’t completely successful. The idea of online gambling was around long before the Corona Virus, but it didn’t receive the same amount of attention as gamblers preferred playing in a regular on-land casino.

Even if everything is returning to normal after COVID-19, the idea of online gambling is still prevalent and fashionable in some online casinos. 918Kiss is one of the online gambling sites.

After COVID-19, many other online casinos failed, but 918Kiss built up a loyal player base and is currently the greatest live casino you can choose.

To make things clearer and to help you obtain a vivid perspective of the online casino, we developed a list of elements that make 918Kiss the greatest live casino you can go to after COVID. So without further ado, let’s begin the conversation.

Safe, simple, and practical
The fact that 918Kiss is risk-free, simple to use, and convenient for all players is one of its best features. If you enjoy gambling but are too lazy to visit a conventional land-based casino, 918Kiss is the best choice. The unique feature of 918Kiss is that you may bring the casino to you at home if you are not in the right condition to visit one.

The online casino is made especially for the players so that they can access the internet platform whenever they wish to gamble. You can gamble while at home with 918Kiss because their method is secure.

The nicest thing about 918Kiss is that players may access their games at any time of day, whether it’s first thing in the morning or during peak hours at a conventional on-land casino. Everything is always available to you at 918Kiss.

Players constantly have access to the games, giving them excellent opportunities to receive fantastic prizes. With 918Kiss, all you need is an app, and after the registration process is complete, you can begin gaming.

Secure 918Kiss
The security that 918Kiss has is another reason to select it above any other casino, whether it be online or physical. Players’ privacy and security are highly important to 918Kiss.

When it comes to security at an online casino, they actually have one of the greatest systems. A firewall is provided for all the players playing at the casino; the main purpose is to protect the player’s account from being hacked and keep the players’ identities safe.

Two secure payment channels are among the other outstanding security-related features. These gateways, which include Help2Pay and EeziePay, guarantee that regular transactions are processed promptly and securely.

The staff at 918Kiss is constantly working on adopting top-notch security measures to keep the data secure and confidential, therefore the firewall assures that your account is secured from all kinds of external hacks.

The nicest aspect of these transactions is their seeming smoothness and short processing times—less than 10 minutes at most—for all banks, which the online casino also offers banking options for.

However, the majority of transactions typically only take three minutes or less. The transactions are transparent and kept confidential between the player and the online casino, guaranteeing that everything is done correctly.

Unrivaled customer service
The excellent customer service that 918Kiss provides to its customers is another unique aspect that sets it apart from other online casinos. In a regular on-land casino, your odds of receiving customer service are quite slim, but at 918Kiss, help is available at every turn.

No matter if your question relates to a game or to your bank account, the 918Kiss support service offers all the assistance you require. The group puts through long hours, seven days a week.

While they are fully knowledgeable about the online casino and will help their players as soon as feasible. In this manner, you may rely on customer service for any issue you might experience.

The fact that the 918Kiss customer service team is accessible via live chat, Telegram, and WhatsApp is its best feature. If you have any questions, you may also consult the FAQs.

able to discover new games
Players can experiment with new games, which is one of the best aspects of gaming at 918Kiss. We no longer mean for you to purchase the games before playing; instead, if you want to sample a new game that is offered by 918Kiss, all you need to do is enter the 918Kiss Test ID, and you are ready to start.

Before placing any wagers with your actual money, enter the test ID to access new games. This is useful if you want to experiment with new card and table games that have a variety of options. With no danger or time constraints, you can take your time to learn more about the game, its tactics, and its regulations.

This is something you won’t find in a conventional on-land casino because the games there can only be played for real money and you can’t really learn anything from the games because they are all paid.

Last Words
Overall, there are numerous benefits to using 918Kiss as a gambling site. Make sure you are aware of the stakes and what you are playing for, as putting too much on the line can undoubtedly result in bankruptcy.

To avoid sanctions, Russia establishes its own TLS certificate authority.

To avoid sanctions, Russia establishes its own TLS certificate authority.

To avoid sanctions, Russia establishes its own TLS certificate authority.
TLS certificates assist the web browser in verifying that a domain is associated with a recognised organisation and that information being transmitted between the user and the server is encrypted.

The inability of signing authorities situated in nations that have placed sanctions on Russia to accept fees for their services prevents numerous websites from being able to renew their expired certificates.

Web browsers including Google Chrome, Safari, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox will display full-page warnings that the pages are vulnerable after a certificate expires, which may cause many users to leave the website.

a national authority
For the independent issuance and renewal of TLS certificates, the Russian government has envisioned a domestic certificate authority as a potential solution.

If the foreign security certificate is revoked or expires, it will be replaced with this one. A complimentary domestic analogue will be offered by the Ministry of Digital Development. According to the Russian public services web Gosuslugi, the service is offered to legal entities – site owners upon request and is delivered within 5 working days (translated).

However, it can take a while for new Certificate Authorities (CA) to pass scrutiny from various businesses before being trusted by web browsers.

The Yandex browser and Atom products from Russia are the only web browsers that now acknowledge Russia’s new CA as reliable, so Russian consumers are advised to use these rather than Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.

Sberbank, VTB, and the Russian Central Bank are among the websites that have already obtained and are presently utilising these state-provided certifications.

A list of 198 domains with a notification to use the local TLS certificate has purportedly been distributed in Russian media, but its usage is not now required.

A questionable proposition
Users of other browsers can manually apply the new Russian root certificate to keep accessing Russian websites that use the state-issued certificate. Examples of these browsers include Chrome and Firefox.

However, this raises fears that Russia might misuse its CA root certificate to carry out man-in-the-middle attacks and intercept HTTPS data.

The new root certificate would eventually be added to the list of certificates that have had their validity revoked as a result of this misuse (CRL).
As a result, Chrome, Edge, and Firefox will prohibit access to any websites utilising these domestic certificates, rendering them invalid.

All parties are obliged to trust certificate authorities. However, it is unlikely that the main browser vendors will add Russia to their root certificate stores given that it does not already have any level of trust.

To mitigate the negative effects of Western sanctions on its economy, Russia has taken some extreme steps. Many have assumed that the time has come to shut off communication with the world internet and move its users to the “Runet.”

In a statement distributed to local news agencies in reaction to these claims, the Russian Ministry for Digital Technologies categorically denied that there is a plan to turn off the internet from within.
