Telegram’s cryptocurrency— the Gram — may be going public after all. The encrypted messaging app company plans to deliver “the first batches” of the coin in the next two months, according to a report at The New York Times.
The last time we reported on the Gram, it was to note that Telegram was canceling its initial coin offering (ICO), so the news may come as a bit of a surprise unless you’ve been following Telegram and cryptocurrency closely. But if you have, you’ve probably heard a rumor that Telegram has a hard deadline to make it happen: if it doesn’t deliver by October 31st, it legally forfeits the $1.7 billion it raised to make those coins a reality.

Jack Leach put his cult hero status down to looking like a "village cricketer" after his key supporting role enabled Ben Stokes to steer England to a staggering victory in the third Ashes Test.
Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce joked that he was willing to play Ben Stokes as a centre half after the England all-rounder's epic century sealed a one-wicket victory over Australia in the third Ashes Test on Sunday (August 25).
England captain Joe Root praised 'freak' Ben Stokes for one of the greatest of all match-winning Test innings and believes the all-rounder's epic has helped instil fresh belief in his side that they can now go on to regain the Ashes.
It’s not often that Jasprit Bumrah is not among the wickets, no matter what the format of the game. In just 11 Tests, Bumrah has 55 wickets till date and averages 20.63. On Sunday (August 25), he produced another blistering spell against the West Indies at Antigua to claim 5/7 in eight overs and set up India’s massive 318-run win in Antigua.
Captain Tim Paine bore the brunt of Australian frustrations Monday at throwing away the third Ashes Test, with former skipper Ian Chappell saying he "lost his brain" in the final hour.
Ben Stokes may well have given the team dietician nightmares after doing the same to Australia's bowlers by revealing takeaway chicken and chocolate bars had fuelled his remarkable unbeaten century that saw England to a staggering one-wicket win in the third Ashes Test at Headingley on Sunday (August 25).
Ponting praised the efforts of Root, who prior to this innings was averaging just 19.8 and coming off two ducks.
While Rahul and Mayank Agarwal failed to get a move on, captain and vice-captain, Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane, scored half-centuries to give India the edge in the contest.
In the ongoing Test against West Indies, the spinner that the team trusted - Ravindra Jadeja - scored a backs-to-the-wall half-century that looks set to provide India with a sizeable lead. Still he had to beat a couple of in-form players to get into the XI.
Sri Lankan cricket has been mired in corruption scandals in recent years, including claims of match fixing ahead of an international Test against England last year.
