A **twitter announcement** has just been published for a future Spark token airdrop for eligible LTC token holders. "`Flare will be integrating Litecoin ahead of the Flare network launch in Q2. This will allow LTC to be used trustlessly on Flare with Ethereum style smart contracts and gives LTC interoperability and composability.` `Flare foundation token allocation will be reduced so that 5 Billion FLR can be distributed to LTC participants. Full details to come next week.`" The details of this airdrop will be **communicated within a few weeks**.

Ether explosion and gas fees ... And here's the **ether** bump this Sunday with a **breakthrough at over $900**. This new bump of the ether causes a **very strong congestion** of the network, which strongly slows down the transactions because the **average gas costs explode** at more than 120gewi for a slow transaction and a pharaminous maximum of more than **979gewi** for fast transactions made today. https://etherscan.io/gastracker#historicaldata That's enough to **make a mess of your wallet** if you decide to issue transactions today. **Never forget to check the gas fees** before each transaction, or the bill could be very high.

Binance Cross-chain Bridge Several networks of the blockchain are usable from your metamask. Let's take care of two important ones, ERC-20 and BEP-20. **ERC-20** corresponds to the main ethereum network. The **BEP-20** mainnet corresponds to the Binance Smart Chain network. These two networks can be used via your browser thanks to methamask. For those who wish to set up access to the BSC Mainnet network, I invite you to read this article. https://read.cash/@BenKenobi/how-to-access-binance-smart-chain-with-metamask-9d2c90a5 These two networks do not work on the same protocol, **you cannot send your ERC-20 tokens to the BEP-20 network.** **A new solution :** **Binance has just solved** this issue and launched a bridge between the different networks. https://www.binance.org/en/bridge Start by **connecting your metamask wallet** and **select the network** from which you wish to migrate your tokens. Then **select the asset** you wish to transfer, the network from which tokens are to be migrated and the network to which they are to be migrated. You just have to **enter the amount** and **validate** the transaction. Your tokens have now been **migrated from one network to another**. **Note:** you can transfer from many networks such as polkadot, atom, eos and many others.

Ledger Products .. S, X, Blue Ledger, made in France The Ledger company is French and was **founded in 2014** by 8 experts in embedded security who dreamed of creating a **tool to store cryptomoney** in complete security. Thing done with the birth of the hardware wallet. Consumer products The brand's first hardware wallet was launched in December 2014. Then the French start-up will continue its momentum with the **Ledger Nano S in June 2016**, currently the most recognized model. Then came the Ledger Blue in November 2016 with its touch screen. Then the **Ledger Nano X in 2019**. All these portfolios work on the same system: "BOLOS" for **Blockchain Open Ledger Operating System**. Nano S The Nano S will be released in **2016**, and more than **1.5 million copies** sold, and will be used to store cryptomoney and secure the transactions you can make. It works with the **Ledger Live** software available on windows, mac, apple or android. Its storage capacity is nevertheless one of the negative points and it will be possible to install only **3 to 20 wallets** at the same time on your device. So you will have to juggle with applications if you have a lot of wallets. Screen size: 128 x 32 pixels Port: USB Type Micro-B Size: 57 x 17.4 x 9.1 mm Weight: 16.2g Nano X The Nano X Ledger was unveiled in **2019** and has taken into consideration feedback from Nano S customers. It offers a larger screen and above all bluetooth connectivity. It has been equipped with a **100mAh battery** for the nomadic side and a **USB-C port** for charging and connection to a computer. As for the Nano S, it uses the Ledger Live software that allows it to send and receive your precious cryptomoney. Its strong point is the increase of its internal memory allowing it to store more than **100 different wallets** simultaneously. Screen size: 128 x 64 pixels Port: USB Type C Size: 72×18.6×11.75 mm Weight: 34 g Bluetooth 100mAh battery Conclusion To conclude, the Nano X Ledger provides **6 times more storage** than the previous version. It also has a screen twice as large and thanks to its **battery and bluetooth** technology, you can connect it to the **LedgerLive application** for smartphone and make payments wherever you are.

BullRun et Fomo, be carefull The bitcoin **bullrun has begun**. It's no longer time to buy it, it's time for the holding. Since its dizzying fall below **$4000** last March, Bitcoin has seen its price rise steadily and return to levels not seen since the bullrun of 2017, recently passing the **$16,000** mark. All indicators are back to green for the coming weeks and we can expect to see its price rise again. For all investors, it makes **no sense at all to buy bitcoin now**, even if it is very tempting to do so when we see these big green candles and the market taking off. You will slowly switch to **the dark side of the FOMO**. Instead, keep the ones you already have in your wallet, resell in stages to minimize your losses but don't give in to the temptation because the **risk is very high** to buy only the top of this bullrun. Don't worry, **prices will always come down**, and the time will come for investors. The main thing is not to let your feelings enter into your **investment plan** for fear of missing this bullrun (which is **already missed if you did not invest** during the summer at lower prices).

LEGO in DeFi ... Welcome to DEGO finance **DEGO equals to LEGO in the DeFi world. Here's how to use their services.** With its very vintage interface, several functions are offered to you **How to stack liquidity :** The first possibility for whoever offers himself to you to use the services of DEGO is the staking of liquidity. You can invest your liquidity in 2 types of pools. Pool 1: This is for investors with USDT or wETH. You staunch your liquidity directly on the DEGO platform and you are remunerated up to the amount of liquidity you have injected into the pool. Pool 2: This pool works a little differently. Here you have the possibility to stack UNI-v2 LP tokens and get a much higher APY. These UNI-v2 LP tokens can be acquired using UNISWAP services. Go to the "pool" tab and inject liquidity on either side of the DEGO/ETH or DEGO/UNI pair. Once your liquidity is added on UNISWAP, you will get UNI-v2 LP tokens indexed to one of the two DEGO pairs. Return to the DEGO platform and then stack your UNI-v2 LP tokens. As soon as you have validated your stacking, you start accumulating DEGO tokens. You can view all your assets and what they generate via the "Dashboard" interface. **How to mine by NFT :** Another service offered by DEGO finance is mining by NFT token, Dego finances to distribute a significant amount of NFT tokens to their community a few days ago. These NFT tokens can be bought, traded and exchanged on the OpenSea platform which gathers a vast collection of NFT tokens from different origins. There are different levels of rarity proportional to the mining efficiency, which will affect your mining possibilities and of course the purchase or resale price. Once you have an NFT token in your pocket, simply go to the "NFT" tab in DEGO finance, then "Mining", select one of the 3 mining pools and come and stack your NFT. For my part, I had the opportunity to obtain a level 4 "platinum" token, which is very interesting because its mining power is quite high. As soon as your token is stacked in the "mining" section, you start to accumulate DEGO tokens. **Auction :** Since a few days, a new section came to enrich the platform, it is a system of bidding between users. DEGO Finance has created a unique series of NFTs in the image of the major players in the blockchain and put them up for auction. The first single NFT sold represented Satochi Nakamuto and approached 130 ETH. So you will need a small amount of money to buy one of these unique tokens. **DEGO Token Details :** ERC 20 TOKEN DEGO Financ Token  -  DEGO Smart Contract Address: 0x88ef27e69108b2633f8e1c184cc37940a075cc02 Total Supply     21m   only Out of This 16m is allocated for mining Halvening Period : 1 week **Roadmap :** **2020-09** WebsiteLaunch V1 Smart Contract Audit DEGO Pre-Sale Liquidity Mining Pool V1 DEGO NFT Auction Launch DEGO Ambassador Program Governance NFT Auction Pool Reward Pool Dandy **2020-10** Hunter Binance Smart Chain Launch DEGO Swap DEGO Lending DEGO Insurance **2020-12** DEGO Chain https://dego.finance/ https://docs.dego.finance/ https://medium.com/@dego_finance/dego-protocol-decentralized-finance-with-sustainability-c5123bbca0cd

BurgerSwap simple DEX BurgerSwap is a decentralized **automated market-making (AMM)** working on Binance Smart Chain. **BURGER** token is the **BEP-20 governance token** of this new platform. Users can earn BURGER tokens by **providing liquidity** on BurgerSwap. **Maximum supply** of BURGER can never exceed **21,000,000.** The BurgerSwap bridge allows to **convert any ERC-20 token** to a wrapped bToken on **Binance Smart Chain BEP20**, which can be listed on BurgerSwap to provide liquidity or swap. https://medium.com/@bnburgerking/how-to-use-the-burgerswap-cross-chain-bridge-2f01503a64cd BurgerSwap applies a **0.30% fee** to all swap. Fees are collected and distributed to users who **stake BURGER tokens** and participate in governance voting. https://medium.com/@bnburgerking/introducing-burgerswap-a-democratized-amm-on-binance-smart-chain-ac19287b5a2a

@BenKenobi

BurgerSwap, DeFi by Binance **We prefer Burgers 🍔 over Sushi 🍣** BurgerSwap is an open-sourced and democratized automated market maker. Since few days, BURGER is listed on Binance.com! In parallele was launch BurgerSwap, the first decentralized and democratized AMM on Binance Smart Chain. https://burgerswap.org/ The project was launch intending to decouple the interest generation and productivity providers within the market. Notably, this platform resides on the Binance Smart Chain. In his announcement, Changpeng Zhao, explains that he chose the Binance Smart Chain for its low transaction costs : "Gas prices have reached historic highs and have made it almost impossible for the ordinary merchant to participate in DeFi's applications and governance based on the ERC-20 smart contract. » ****ERC-20 to BEP-20 :**** In order to use BurgerSwap, you must have liquidity on BSC Mainnet BEP-20 network. Two solutions exist, the first one is to transfer funds from a Binance.com account and select the BEP-20 network when issuing your transfer. The second solution is to use the Bridge function of BurgerSwap. **How to connect Metamask to the BSC Mainnet network?** Click on "Custom RPC" if you have not previously added the BSC mainnet information. - Enter in the BSC mainnet details as follows: - Network Name: BSC Mainnet - New RPC URL: https://bsc-dataseed1.binance.org/ - ChainID: 56 - Symbol: BNB - Block Explorer URL: https://bscscan.com/ - Then press "Save". You can now switch to the Binance Smart Chain BEP-20 network in Metamask Dapp. ****How to use Bridge Mode :**** This function purpose is to convert your tokens from the Ethereum ERC-20 network to the Binance Smart Chain BEP-20 network and make them usable on the platform. Once your tokens are added and converted, you optain bTokens equivalent to your deposit. These bTokens can already be used on Burgerswap. To begin, you need to connect your Metamask wallet to the Ethereum ERC-20 Mainnet. Then, you need to select which tokens you would like to migrate on Burgerswap.org Once the transaction is validated, you will receive your bToken (here bUSDT) in the form of a BEP-20 address. Once the transaction is completed, you must switch with the BSC Mainnet network to Metamask. Once you have switched networks, you will be able to view your BEP-20 bTokens on burgerswap.org in the form of a token address corresponding to the amount you have migrated in the "transit record" section. To view your bToken on metamask, you need to add the BEP-20 address manually as a customised token on metamask. Attention, each operation requires ETH fees on the Ethereum Mainnet ERC-20 network and BNB fees on the BSC Mainnet BEP-20 network. Without this, your bToken will not arrive in your wallet. Now you are ready to use the other features of BurgerSwap. ****Pool function :**** This section allows you to add liquidity to the platform and thus earn commissions for your confidence. If you add liquidity, you must match an equivalent amount of BURGER and BNB. Once added, you start accumulating BURGERs with the possibility to "claim your reward" whenever you want. This section allows you to add liquidity to the platform and thus earn commissions for your confidence. If you add liquidity, you must match an equivalent amount of BURGER and BNB. Once added, you start accumulating BURGERs with the possibility to "claim your reward" whenever you want. ****Gouvernance :**** The governance section, allows you to stake your BURGERs and also to vote on the different proposals around BurgerSwap and its management. ****Swap function :**** Like many other platforms of this type, you also have the possibility to swap your tokens directly on burgerswap. Many pairs are available and you can easily convert your tokens between them. ****BurgerSwap, the Numbers only after 2 weeks :**** Total number of users: >5,000 Total Value Locked on BurgerSwap: >50,000,000 USD Number of addresses holding BURGER: >10,000 Total liquidity on BurgerSwap: >35,000,000 USD 24 hour trading volume: >12,000,000 USD The numbers have catapulted BurgerSwap to the top applications on Binance Smart Chain by transaction volume, and the BURGER token to one of the top traded BEP20 assets. ****Useful Links :**** https://medium.com/@bnburgerking/introducing-burgerswap-a-democratized-amm-on-binance-smart-chain-ac19287b5a2a https://medium.com/@bnburgerking/how-to-add-liquidity-and-list-your-token-on-burgerswap-bb4dbeb854db BurgerSwap exchange: https://burgerswap.org/ BurgerSwap NFT campagn airdrop : https://medium.com/@bnburgerking/announcing-the-burgerswap-xxl-nft-airdrop-campaign-ae8ebcd06128 For those who prefer to tip in front ...

Read.cash vs Publish0x Here are two popular blogging platforms that have been in trend since recent months. Each one works differently with its own specificities but the point is that by using these platforms, users can pay you for the creation of content to which you contribute. **Why use these platforms?** Read.cach and Publish0x are two very popular blogging platforms. After registering, you can become a content creator and thus publish articles related or not to the world of cryptocurrency. Once your articles are online on these platforms, users will have the opportunity to "reward you" in the form of a tip for the writing work you have just done. In other words, you are paid for your articles. **How does Publish0x work?** Publish0x is a blogging platform specialised on the theme of crypto and which remunerates not only for writing articles, but also for reading them. Plublish0x is a mainly English-speaking site. As a reader, every 10min spent on the site, you can support an article by clicking on TIP at the bottom of the page. You have the choice to tip the author of the article, at least 20% of your reward. No need to have crypto to do this support, tips are generated directly by the site and a part is even paid back to you directly for your contribution. As far as the authors of contents are concerned, you can therefore accumulate tips from readers who have appreciated your article and wish to support you. Put together, your portfolio will grow day by day. The coins you can currently earn on Publish0x are Basic Attention Token ($BAT), Ether ($ETH), and Loopring ($LRC). These tips all arrive in your Publish0x account and can be transferred to any ERC20 address. Using exchange wallet is not recommended. The transfer of your tokens is done once a month after validation. Until a few weeks ago, the transfer was possible every week but due to the exorbitant fees on the ethereal network, the publish0x team prefers to change the payments frequency. **How does Read.cash work?** The crypto highlighted on read.cash is the Bitcoin Cash. Read,cash offers more or less the same functionalities as Publish0x, possibility to publish articles and for the readers to pay you directly. The big difference is that on this platform, you have a BCH address specific to your account and on which no one can access your portfolio. When you create your account, read,cash creates a bitcoin cash wallet and you are the sole master of the associated private key. If you lose it, say goodbye to your balance. The read.cash team will not be able to restore access to your wallet under any circumstances if you lose your private key. Concerning tipping system, it is a little different. Readers could simply send you a tip as on publish0x directly on your article, but you could get a bonus from the read.cash team based on the blue thumbs and faist comments on your article. Unfortunately, many abuses have been seen with people who scrupulously create multi-accounts to fool the pay system. Read.cash's response has been very interesting, the team has set up an artificial intelligence that moves from article to article and gives tips to content creators up to the total amount of bonuses distributed by the site before the launch of this robot ($500). Its little name is TheRandomRewarder. The remuneration criteria are very selective regarding the plagiarism and relevance of your articles. A way to remedy the profiteers and multi-accounts remunerating themselves. You can transfer your tokens whenever you wish. In addition, read.cash offers to convert your tokens into the crypto of your choice. **Which platform to choose?** Both platforms are very interesting for any content creator who wants his writing work to be showcased. The read.cash advantage is that your tips are secure with your private key. One thing is certain, these are solutions to put content creators and readers in direct contact without intermediaries. Become the next reader and support your favorite contents : Read.cash https://read.cash/@BenKenobi/readcash-vs-publish-fd69a169 Publish0x.com https://www.publish0x.com?a=JxborJ3agw

Why and What can i do if my transaction stay "pending" ? Since the advent of the DeFi several weeks ago, the price of gas on the ethereum network has reached record highs. What should you do if your transaction remains in a "pending" state because the gas price you paid was too low? **What is gas on the ethereum network ?** Gas allows the user who carries out a transaction and the validator or minor who confirms this transaction to be put in contact. The user of the ethereum network pays charges in Eth and the validator recovers these charges once the block has been added to the blockchain. The gas charge includes several parameters: **Gas limit:** this is the maximum amount of gas the user is willing to use. **Gas price:** this is the price in ethers at which the user buys the gas. The price of gas is expressed in gigaweis (Gwei). The wei on the Ethereum network is equivalent to the satoshi for Bitcoin because it is the smallest sub-unit of the ether. 1 Gwei corresponds to one billionth of an ether. 1 ETH = 1,000,000,000,000 Gweis = 1 000 000 000 000 000 000 weis Gas fees will determine how quickly your transaction is processed on the ethereum network. The higher the fee, the more tempted the validator will be to validate your transaction first and enter it in the next block. **How to properly calculate gas charges?** Before each ethereum transaction, users are strongly advised to consult the average price of gas at the time they want to issue their transaction, as these fees can vary greatly in a very short period of time. Nothing could be simpler than to consult https://etherscan.io/gastracker to determine the optimum parameters for your transaction. Recently, the average transaction fees have reached record highs with more than $12 in fees to transfer ERC-20 tokens from one wallet to another. **What to do if you have not paid enough gas?** If the ethereum network becomes congested, as has happened since the arrival of decentralised finance (DeFi) with its very high transaction volumes per second, your transaction may remain on "pending" status. This can last several hours, days and even weeks if your gas price is well below average. You can check the status of your transaction at https://etherscan.io/(your_eth_address) A transaction that is not valid then blocks all subsequent transactions on your wallet. This can quickly become very annoying. **Cancel or modify your transaction :** Here is the official method to replace a transaction on the ethereum network and thus cancel a blocked transaction. An important point, you must use Metamask or any other wallet like Coinomi that allows you to manually modify the gas charges and also the "nounce" of the transaction. The "nounce" is the number corresponding to your transaction on your wallet, it is incremented by 1 for each new transaction. If your wallet does not have these parameters, you can still import it into Metamask via your passphrase and access the Metamask gas features. Once on Metamask, you will issue a new transaction on the ethereum network with a value of 0 Eth on your own address. But this time with quite high gas costs (see https://etherscan.io/gastracker). The most important thing is to indicate the same "nonce" as the blocked transaction, which can always be consulted at https://etherscan.io/(your_eth_address). Once all the parameters have been checked, you can send your request to the ethereum network, a validator will then consume your gas and replace the blocked transaction by this new one. Once correctly validated, it will replace the old one which was causing the problem. You can now issue a new transaction through the ethereum network and I hope this article can help those who have encountered the same gas problem has me. Remember this, never neglect your gas costs before a transaction and take time to check the average price.

A router for mining Monero ? The new born in HTC Exodus range A new router developed by HTC, using 5G technologie will be able to mine at home while providing internet access in place of your traditional modem. **A small return on the product range and their embedded technologies...**   The Tawanese company HTC unveiled Exodus 1 in 2018, its first smartphone capable to mine Monero via the DeMiner application, an application developed in collaboration with Midas Lab, a manufacturer of ASICs. This smartphone is equipped with a physical hardware portfolio thanks to a secure chip and a software overlayer called Zion. This chip, derived from military technology, is considered tamper-proof.   ****Exodus 1 and 1S : a smartphones range :**** The Exodus 1 is available on different online platforms and you have the possibility to buy it with Fiat at the price of 759 euros, or directly in Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin... A beautiful Binance edition was released with the design of the exchange, and shortly afterwards followed by the Exodus 1S, a more compact and powerful model sold for around 219 euros. See more: https://www.publish0x.com/cyptonews/monero-mining-smartphone-with-asic-integrated-update-xgexzw     ****Exodus 5G Hub , the logical continuation :**** Today, the Tawanese firm is still making headlines and announces the upcoming arrival of a 5G Hub router within the Exodus range. A 5G router that can replace your traditional modem. It will integrate the Zion technology, and it's safe place for your favorite crypto wallet under high security but for the moment no leakage on the future features of this new product. And it will be able to herd a complete bitcoin node ... that's about all we know for the moment. In the few photos presented by HTC, we can find a USB Type-C power port as well as a second power port, a RJ45 network port (Gigabit? Poe?), and a SIM card slot. HTC has communicated very little about this new product and it is impossible at this time to know what the precise features of the product will be. One thing is certain, it will be able to keep a complete copy of the Bitcoin network transactions and thus actively, and actively participate in the security environment of the blockchain. With only 9500 nodes in service today, the total number of privately owned nodes may be explose in the coming years.   ****For which use ? :**** Protonmail, an open-source email service create by the CERN in Geneva has been announced as a partner of the project. We will find protonmail alongside Brave Browser in the default applications of the Exodus range from HTC... This is good news to get out of the GAFAM's grip because these services actively fight for the preservation of your privacy and your personal data. Here is a small device that it would be good to adopt each one at home to guarantee you a healthy internet access, contribute to the good functioning of the blockchain, and protect you from personal data leaks. Not to mention its tamper-proof hardware wallet that you can use as a safe with your own keys.

Earn Banano by helping medical research with your CPU/GPU It has been known for a long time that using your CPU to mine crypto-currency is less and less profitable and even impossible if you are not equipped with sophisticated and relatively expensive mining RIGs. And even with all this, the profitability is often hard to balance. So what's the point of trying to undermine tiny amounts of crypto with our meagre CPUs? Spending more electricity than we can earn? Equipped only with an old computer and after several unsuccessful attempts, I quickly lost interest in traditional mining. Well, there is a solution to use the few hashrate available on our computers in a very different way and for a very good cause.   **Medical Research:** Indeed groups of researchers, institutes and laboratories are using, just like crypto mining, powerful computers and their colossal computing power to sample and simulate protein experiments and models. Just like the blockchain, these research programs are very bundled in computing power and this is where the few hashrates of our computers can make the difference. For several years now, researchers have been proposing to the general public to make use of processors unused performance on our old desktop computers. In order to increase total computing power available for their work and to advance in medical research. A way to take part in useful projects for humanity and to refocus our machines towards a way of producing for others rather than turned towards oneself. From now on, our computers can join ranks of serious research programs with an open source application, Folding@Home.   **FAH, what's that?** "Folding@home is a medical research project whose aim is to simulate the folding of proteins in various temperature and pressure configurations, particularly against covid-19, Alzheimer's disease, sickle cell disease and certain types of cancer. It is a distributed computing project that works with the unused computing power of computers, telephones and, formerly, PlayStation 3 of thousands of volunteers. " source wikipedia.org For all those who have understood that mining a few cents of crypto-money every month has no profitable interest, here is a way to make a gesture to the scientific community and take part in medical research. For those who consider that provision of equipment without remuneration is inconceivable, a very interesting solution exists with the Banano for them. Indeed, you can be remunerated according to the computing power that you can make available for research and that, directly in your banano portfolio.   **Interface :** Here is an overview of the simplified control page of the application available on Windows. You will find your ID, your statistics, the details of the project you are working on, a slider to select the power you wish to use (Light, Medium, Full) and the choice of using your computer resources only in standby (IDLE) or while you are using your machine. I recommend reducing or pausing when using other resource-intensive applications. The application will give you the possibility to visualize in real time the project on which your computing power is working. The nature of scientific project, coordinates of  institute or research center,  modeling of the molecule you are studying, progress of your simulation and your contribution to the project. At the end of each research process, you will receive a self-signed certificate from the research organisation to which you have contributed. Other options are available in the advanced control such as adding new compute slots from your CPU or GPU, master/slave between several machines, priority rule for your computer performance... Options that I can detail in comment in case of parameter setting problem. **How to earn :** In order to be remunerated, all you have to do is to obtain an identifier attached to your Banano address on the BananoMiner website and to join the Banano team. Ranked top 10 of the biggest teams on the application. https://bananominer.com/ When you first connect to the Folding@Home application, you have choice to use your computing power in 2 ways. Either anonymously, but this will not give you any remuneration. Either by filling in your login and that of a team. Only the Banano team will pay you for the hashrate that you make available to Folding@Home. Don't worry, if you clicked too fast, you can fill in your login and password on the control page of the application. Once on the road, your login and password correctly filled in, you will receive a daily amount of Banano equivalent to computing power adding to scientific projects and generated via the Banano team. The remuneration is much more interesting compared to current faucets available on the web. With a 10 year old and a low performance computer with a 2 core processor, I can generate 9 to 10 banano per day. A rather derisory sum for some when one makes conversion on an exchange but I remind the cause of this contribution/remuneration which has as a primary goal medical advances, in the front line in this time of health crisis of covid-19.   **Things to remember:** This is enough to reconcile those who seek to make a few dollars without doing anything and at the same time do a good deed. And this is what rewards those who would still have participated in these projects without expecting to be paid. If you have any doubts about this application, don't hesitate to do some research online. You will quickly understand the scope of folding@home program. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folding@home Well, Geneva-based CERN, which specializes in the research of elementary particles, has just dedicated the computing power of more than 10,000 cores of their supercomputer to the folding@home program. In an urgent research effort against covid-19, they did not hesitate for one second to take part in the general effort. https://home.cern/news/news/cern/cern-contributes-computers-combatting-covid-19   **Folding@Home, succinctly :**   **Giving computing power to advance medical research...** **Open Source program** **Earn crypto via the BananoMiner program** **Transparent and well-respected computer performance priority rule** Here are 4 good reasons to drop the traditional mining and to turn very quickly to this application. Feel free to send me your feedback or if you want more information on the advanced settings of the application.  My original content : https://www.publish0x.com/cyptonews/earn-banano-by-helping-medical-research-with-your-cpugpu-xyvplql For those who wish to send live tips directly in banano : ban_1jy6yq71uyh3gqipkf6rmnty5urcz676tohtarurs5z9de3b3g3j9nqfmaxc **Don't forget ...

Blockchain for Humanity ! Often due to lack of information, Bitcoin and Blockchain are misunderstood by the general public. Often displayed in the media and political actors as the dark money of the internet, too volatile for some, too dirty for others. But all these crypto-money could bring much more than we think. For several years now, the major actors of the blockchain have been giving millions of dollars in charitable donations to help the most destitute. Major causes throughout the world have been financed and supported by crypto-currency funds. Here are a few of them. **Child Hunger in Africa:** Hunger is the first health risk in the world, killing more people every year than AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis combined. In East African countries such as Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, a child only needs $0.3 a day to have breakfast and lunch. Binance Charity is dedicated to battle hunger by focusing on food charity for school children in Uganda.   **Internet Archiving:**  October 2017, Pineapple Fund donates $1 million (1000BTC) to the Internet Archive, a non-profit organization dedicated to archiving our beloved Web. This organization also acts as a kind of digital libraryand makes its data collections available free of charge to researchers, historians and academics. More information: https://archive.org/   **Universal Revenue in Kenya:**  In december 2017, "Pineapple Fund" is funding a programme to provide a basic universal income for rural Kenyans in financial distress. Pineepple Fund has already donated $5 million to GiveDirectly (5000 BTC), a non-profit organization that helps families in East Africa. GiveDirectly transfers funds primarily to Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda.   **The Syrian Cause:** The civil war in Syria has been raging for more than 7 years now. Unicef has set up a campaign to encourage gamers to mine Ethereum for the benefit of Syrian children. In february 2018, this project called Game Chaingers proposes to video game players to use the computing power of their graphic card to raise funds to help the children of this country.   **American public schools:** In march 2018, the Ripple Company donated to DonorsChoose.org to help U.S. public schools fund projects and purchase school supplies. DonorsChoose is a U.S. charity founded in the Bronx in 2000. Their fight is to make education accessible to all and help fund educational projects. Ripple has made a substantial donation of over $29 million in XRP to help American schools.   **Hurricane Dorian:** Since 26 August 2019, Hurricane Dorian has affected Caribbean nations and caused the most serious damage in the Bahamas. Dorian is one of the most powerful hurricanes ever recorded in the North Atlantic. It struck the Bahamas in category 5, the highest category, and killed 43 people with mterial damage amounts to several million dollars. Binance Charity is once again committed and is launching a vast donation campaign to help the affected populations. More information : https://www.binance.charity/hurricane-relief   **Fire in Australia:** Impossible to miss: Australia is in flames since november 2019, suffering several of the violent bushfires, ravaging everything in its path. In response to this large-scale environmental disaster, the Binance Charity Foundation donated $1 million in the form of BNB. A donation program called Australian Bushfire Donations. More information : https://www.binance.charity/Australian-Bushfire-Donations   **Environment and Ecology:** In december 2019, Justin Sun, the creator of Tron, expressed his willingness to support young activist Greta Thunberg with a $1 million donation of cryptography. Greta Thunberg is a Swedish environmental activist committed to the fight against global warming. She protests in the summer of 2018 in front of the Swedish Parliament at the age of 15 against inaction in the face of climate change. Justin Sun said : "As a young entrepreneur, I share Greta Thunberg's passion to change the world."   **Notre-Dame-De-Paris** In avril 2019, a terrible fire broke out on the roof of the historic Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral on April 15, 2019. The flames severely damaged the building and destroyed many priceless works of art and sacred relics, a great moment of mourning for the culture, arts and history shared around the world. President Emmanuel Macron's appeal for donations to restore the Cathedral and was quickly heeded by Binance Charity. It is as a pioneer in the use of cryptography for social good that the foundation has been involved in this cause.    **Covid-19:** The charity project "Lumenthropy" announces a campagn of donations to help humanitarian organizations such as UNICEF, Tor Project, Heifer International, Watsi, Freedom of the Press. Stellar Foundation, will be donating 2.5 million XLM tokens to these humanitarian organizations throughout the month of April. More information : https://lumenthropy.com/covid-19-response/   Binance also launching a donation campagne called "Crypto Against Covid" to help and fight against in this health context and to finance medical equipment throughout the world. Binance Charity has already donated $1 million in BNB and they hope to raise $5 million in donations as a result of this campaign. Other crypto and blockchain companies are mobilizing like Ripple XRP who donated $200,000 to two associations fighting against the Coronavirus. **The blockchain technology opens up in many areas, to the energy transition by promoting the use of renewable energy, research, ecology, education, development.** **Because of its great transparency, it allows to popularize charitable donations and offers an opportunity to do good around you and to engage in combat.**

Bitcoin Node and Mining Smartphone. Back on the little new one from HTC, the Exodus 1S is a new generation smartphone specially developed for the blochain. Many features are integrated, it can be used as a Bitcoin node, store your precious crypto on a cold wallet or even undermine Monero thanks to the DeMiner application. The HTC Exodus 1S is the result of a partnership between mobile phone giant HTC and Midas Lab, a company that designs ASIC chips that are widely used in mining equipment such as the famous "AntMiner". According to the Taiwanese company's press release, the HTC Exodus 1S will be equipped with a specific mining chip designed by MidasLab to allow users to directly mine XMRs. HTC and Midal Labs see in these new smartphones a small revolution for the mining world and assert that in the near future they will be able to counter the large mining pools that are going against the principles of the blockain, i.e. decentralization. Indeed, some pools are close to the only criticism of the 51% hashrate share and we all know what this danger represents for the mining world. If a pool totals 51% or more on a network, it will be able to fool the verification of a new block and thus issue a double expense without anyone being able to do anything about it. A very real danger, many crypto-currencies have already suffered some kind of attack in the past. Bitcoin, Ethereum Classic, Bitcoin Gold ... The CEO of HTC commented on this: "The world of crypto is threatened by the domination of hashrate by giant mining pools. The most effective way to eliminate this problem is to make mining accessible to the masses via mobile phones. This application makes smartphone mining profitable, providing incentives for individual miners and helping to decentralize the network."   Let's go back to the features of the HTC Exodus 1s, the second "crypto-phone" of the range. **Zion Cold Wallet:** Its first very interesting feature is the Zion chip integrated in the smartphone, this chip serves as a digital safe for your private keys. This cold wallet is completely independent from the other components of the smartphone, making it tamper-proof against software attacks. You can compare this chip to the Ledger or Trezor type wallet. It confers to its users a serenity and a confidentiality has any proof.   **Bitcoin node:** HTC's Exodus 1s model will be able to run a complete Bitcoin node. As the internal storage capacity of the device is only 64GB, it is recommended to use a 400GB micro SD card in order to be able to place the complete node, i.e. 260GB, which inflates by about 60GB per year. It is also recommended to use a stable wifi connection and to leave the smartphone connected for optimal use, but HTC says that it is possible to run the node entirely nomadically.   **Mining fonctionnality:** The smartphone therefore integrates a chip specially developed by MidLab, specialist in ASIC chips that swarm in our Antminer mining machines. Thanks to this hardware and software solution DeMiner provides the users of the Exodus 1S. Your smartphone will be able to mine Monero in all circumstances. In terms of mining power, DeMiner will achieve results equivalent to those of an average desktop computer while consuming much less energy. The application can mine approximately $0.0038 of Monero per day. While this is a very small amount of money, the technology opens new doors to decentralized mining and blockchain. Imagine everyone being able to run the Bitcoin protocol and verify transactions, taking into account the growing number of smartphones in circulation around the world, that's a small revolution. That's what this "crypto-phone" promises us. Some people see it as absurd given the low mining capacity and the technical limits of the components, battery. For others, it's a pioneering technological breakthrough that will be talked about for years to come.   My last article about HTC Exodus 1S on publish0x : https://www.publish0x.com/cyptonews/monero-mining-smartphone-with-asic-integrated-xgexzw   What future do you see in this technology? The question is fully open ...

Ethereum Gas, my tanker will crack ... Report is the same for all, transaction fees on the Ethereum network reach never met summits. For several weeks, small transferts have been almost impossible to make if your wallet is not well stocked. Since beginning of the year, the use of Ethereum network has literally exploded, in particular by the numerous decentralized finance projects (DeFi) and a growing demand for stable corners such as Tether in the form of ERC-20 tokens. **What is DeFi?** Decentralized finance aims to recreate the current financial system, while eliminating trusted intermediaries such as banks. It is a direct application of blockchain technology and uses mostly the Ethereum network. Its objective is to allow transmission of value and to create a finance for all without intermediaries. Several million « ethers » are thus collateralized (blocked) in the DeFi for a value of several hundred million dollars in the last few months. We can clearly see on this graph comparing the number of tokens blocked in DeFi compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum that DeFi takes more and more space. For example, the Uniswap Decentralized Exchange (DEX) has reached a daily trading volume of 1 billion dollars and has become one of the leading protocols of decentralized finance (DeFi). **Why exorbitant gas on Ethereum?** The explosion of DeFi leads to an ever-increasing number of transactions on Ethereum network. As a direct consequence, network congestion becomes inevitable. To issue a transaction on Ethereum, you have to pay a transaction fee called "Gas". The user has possibility to increase or reduce this Gas. This opération increases transaction speed and faster acceptance by minors. This fierce competition between users has seen the Gas rise to levels never recorded since Ethereum creation. In addition, the miners have recently agreed to increase the limit from 10,000,000 to 12,000,000 gas. The gas price has thus been multiplied by ten since the beginning of 2020, even twenty times during the periods of highest activity. For several weeks, fees have ranged from $0.8 to more than $14 for a single transaction. In other words, for a small transfer, you don't have much left at the end. ***Evolution over the last 3 months of Ethereum's average transaction fees - Source : Blockchair.com*** **Several answers but no solutions.** The observation is the same everywhere, the transfers of ether or token ERC-20 has become almost impossible at reasonable price whatever the platform. Moreover, transfer fees are much higher when you transfer ERC-20 tokens than pure ether. A reason? Several players in the blockchain have reacted quickly to avoid the exorbitant transaction fees. Uphold reviewed its payment policy with network fees below 100 BAT. A hard blow for Brave browser that uses this platform to pay contents creators. Publish0x, a blogging platform, had to suspend all payments this week and increase the minimum payment several times. One paiement per month, see more : https://www.publish0x.com/publish0x-official-blog/publish0x-payout-schedule-switched-from-weekly-to-monthly-xpjevvz The Binance founder, Changpeng Zhao, commented this problem : "The high ETH network gas fees is causing problems for most exchanges, running with $10-20 loss on each withdrawal. Will have to adjust our withdrawal fees sooner or later."   And after ? Have we reached limits of Ethereum network and will there be a return to normal? Will users turn away from Ethereum and look for other solutions? Ethereum 2.0 is struggling to get its head above water but many are skeptical about its ability to solve a such problem. One thing is sure, we become HOLDr in spite of ourselves because we can't transfer our precious crypto. Let's hope that this is enough to decongest Ethereum network.
