       Chapter 9: Comparison of Three Different Darknet Cryptocurrencies in e-Commerce in Our Digital Era

      The emergence of the internet has opened a world of possibilities to connect and interact through web portals to exchange information over the network. In the past decade, buying and selling of goods and services online has become more common through e-commerce. With the advent of Cryptocurrencies, the possibilities of e-commerce have reached new heights for all web users who see potential in this technology. Cryptocurrencies have opened new dimensions based on a Blockchain technology for e-commerce through decentralization — increased privacy and digitalization of coins to allow users to anonymously trade online. This has become more common in the Darknet, which is simply the unindexed side of the Internet. This paper compares the three Cryptocurrencies, namely Bitcoin, Ethereum and Monero, in the Darknet used for e-commerce.

       Chapter 10: Cryptocurrencies — An Assessment of Global Adoption Trends

      Government and state approaches to any venture first begin with regulation to safeguard its interests as well as those of its citizens. Cryptocurrency adoption globally has been led by major players such as the U.S and China while some smaller states have achieved comparable success. In this chapter, we analyse and assess a country’s level of cryptocurrency adoption via its regulatory framework. We then classify this approach according to the business function that regulates the use of cryptocurrencies. We also derive a gradual approach to cryptocurrency adoption and regulation that can be used by fledgling countries new to the world of cryptocurrency.

       Chapter 11: An Overview of Cryptocurrencies for Online Payments of Enterprise Systems

      Cryptocurrencies have evolved erratically and at unprecedented speed over the course of their short lifespan. Since the inception of Bitcoin in 2009, more than 1,600 cryptocurrencies have been developed with majority successful in the market. With the advent of cryptocurrencies, the possibility of online trading has reached new heights. Thus, this chapter focuses on enterprise cryptocurrencies and provides a thorough analysis of the various opportunities that lie in the usage of cryptocurrencies for online payments. This chapter was prepared as there is a need to draw a fine line between using fiat currencies and using cryptocurrencies for online transactions, as there is not much research done on using cryptocurrencies in Enterprise systems, and this chapter will give a fair idea to researchers and organizations in making decisions while making corporate payments. We are basing our research using grounded theory, and focus on the certainty of using cryptocurrencies.

      As the editor, writer and the co-author of all chapters of this book, I am proud to present this book to the readers. I would like to thank all the reviewers that peer-reviewed all the chapters in this book. I also would like to thank the administration and editorial support staff of World Scientific Publishing who have ably supported me in getting this book to press and publication. And finally, I would like to humbly thank all the authors and co-authors who submitted their research articles as chapters to this book. Without your submission, your tireless efforts and contribution, we would not have this book.

      Publication of any book is not easy. Publication of a new book on a relatively new technology with a reputable publisher is even harder. The first step is to find a publisher that is willing to publish such a book. Given the dynamics of academic publishing today, disruptive transformation of academic publishing by the Internet, delivery and access of published research papers by PDF downloads, and Open Access academic journal models, many established publishers are now reluctant to publish a new book. This book on Blockchain Technologies, Applications and Cryptocurrencies is indeed privileged to be published by World Scientific Publishing — a publisher that is second to none. Disruptive technologies like blockchains and cryptocurrencies have been seen by many as a passing fad. The publication of this book is proof that they are not a fad but a mainstream disruptive technology.

      I hope everyone will appreciate reading the chapters in this book. Additionally, I feel that it will inspire and encourage readers to start their own research on blockchains and cryptocurrencies and submit their articles and chapters to journals and books.

      Once again, I take this opportunity to congratulate everyone involved in the writing, review, editing and publication of this book.

      Any comments or questions can be emailed to [email protected].

      Happy Reading.
