December 12 is near. Claim free Spark token.
December 12 is fast approaching and that would be the day when a fork of XRP is going to happen. The fork will called be **Spark** token.
Spark is the token of Flare network that will be split from the Ripple Network that would take place of this month, December 12, 2020.
How to participate in the airdrop?
Every holder of the XRP coin will be eligible to receive the Spark token with a 1:1 ratio - meaning, for every 1 XRP that you hold, you will also received 1 Spark token. The Spark token will be distributed after it takes a snapshot to holder of XRP. This Flare network and Spark token will go live during the first quarter of the year 2021.
Which exchanges will support the airdrop?
Here are top exchanges that will support the airdrop:
Binance
Kucoin
Bithumb
Bitfinex
Coinex
For more information about all the wallets/exchanges that will support the airdrop, you can check **here**. https://flare.xyz/supporting-exchanges/
But if you don't want to put your XRP in any exchanges, there are still non-custodial wallets that will support the airdrop like;
Trezor wallet
and Exodus wallet.
Note: The Flare network will take a snapshot of every holder of XRP in a supported wallets this month after the fork, and after the snapshot, the token distribution will happen when the Flare network will be live next year.

The King of Privacy Coins.
**One of the top cryptocurrencies which has some infamy associated with it. The King of Privacy coins. The coin I'm telling you is none other than Monero (XMR).**
**Monero** is a digital decentralized peer to peer cryptocurrency like Bitcoin that is based on a proof-of-work consensus mechanism. Unlike Bitcoin, Monero transactions are untraceable which means no one else but the owner of an address knows how much money they have and what transactions they made. This is probably one of the most notable characteristics of Monero.
What is Monero?
Many people consider Bitcoin transactions to be private. After all, you are sending and receiving funds to addresses that makes no sense. In transactions that to the untrained eye are incomprehensible.
It is true that Bitcoin is pseudonymous - meaning that transactions happen between addresses that aren't necessarily associated with real identities, but it's not private.
The blockchain is a public ledger where all transactions are recorded, and since it's public, everyone has access to the whole history from the very first transaction to very latest. So anyone can track transactions using a block explorer which are sites that provides visual representations of that ledger.
Monero takes a different approach by using and obfuscated public ledger - this means that although transactions are public, an outside observer doesn't know the sender nor the receiver nor the amounts of transaction. But at the same time, it's easy for the miners to verify that a transaction doesn't spend money that has already been spent.
How does Monero achieve it?
Sender optification is achieved by something called **Ring Signatures.**
*Imagine that all transactions have inputs and outputs.*
The input needs to be at least the amount you want to send and any excess is returned to you as change. That change is one output, the other being the amount you are actually sending.
What Monero does differently though is it takes random outputs from all over the blockchain and uses them as decoys. So in the transaction both yours and the decoy outputs are present and although you are the one sending the funds, an outside observer isn't able to tell which one of the outputs is actually participating in the transaction. As a result, they can't tell where the funds actually came from, not even the receiver of the funds will know that they came from you, unless you tell them.
So sender optification comes from deniability. It is very likely that because of Ring Signatures. You may appear to have transacted with practically every user on the network, when in fact, you may not have opened your wallet in months. But even if you have made lots of transactions, so have all the other users apparently.
Receiver's privacy
If you want to send money to a friend, then you need their public address. However, with Bitcoin and most cryptocurrencies, you and anyone else who has that address can see exactly how much money there is in it.
Monero has the same concept of public addresses except nobody can see how much eczema each address has.
Unique property of Monero
With most cryptocurrencies, there is one public key and one private key for each public address. The public key is used to generate address and the private key is used to sign transactions from that address and send the funds in it.
With Monero, a user has 4 keys for each address;
The public view key
Private view key
Public spend key
Private spend key
Whenever you want to send XMR to someone, their **public view key** and their **public spend key** are **combined cryptographically** to create a single use address, specifically for that transaction that one time address is called a **Stealth Address**. So, although it seems like you are sending funds to their public address, you are actually sending them to that Stealth Address, which isn't associated with their public address at all. They're actual address that never appears on the blockchain, and as a result, no one can tell which or how many transactions have been sent to it nor what is its balance.
When the recipient opens their wallet, it scans the blockchain to see if any transactions have stealth addresses that correspond to their actual address. This reverse operation is done by virtue of the private view key. As the name implies, this key needs to be kept secret because it can reveal how many transactions have been received by this address, and as a result, its balance but somehow cannot spend funds from that address with the private view key. For that, they need as you've probably guessed the private spend key. Whoever has that can spend funds in that address, so it's imperative that it's kept well private. Also, the private spend key and the stealth address in that transaction are use to create what is known as **Key Image**.
**Key Image** is a unique identifier for each transaction that allows miners to verify that the funds in it haven't been spent before without revealing to them any of the details of that transaction.
Finally, Monero hides the amount of transactions as well, this wasn't a feature that Monero was born with, instead it was added later on January the 17th, 2017 with something called RingCT.
**RingCT** or **Ring Confidential Transactions** is s complex mathematical function that is applied to all funds sent with Monero, and the result is that the amount of each transactions are not visible on the blockchain. A third-party observer can see a transaction is legitimate, but only the sender and the receiver know the exact amount in it. This prevents any tracking of funds that could theoretically happen based on the amount being sent and received.
Conclusion
Privacy is a right and it's that right that Monero is built to protect. After all, wanting to protect your privacy doesn't mean you have something to hide.
Monero has certainly a lot to offer, but to find wide adoption is still isn't very possibly clear for me.

I'm pretty sure someone or a group maybe, is downvoting my articles, it's not even attacking anyone. I just hope you will have a peace of mind, you are having a good life, your family won't get the decease and your teeth are still complete. Bless you! :)
I am losing hope, read.cash
Let's admit it, and I also admit this, most of us are here in read.cash for some good or considerable amount of **Bitcoin Cash** (BCH). Who does not want it? We are taking advantage of a little talent we had in writing and getting paid by read.cash or the bot (The random rewarder) through Bitcoin Cash. And it is great!
For more than two months of being here, I gained a lot. I gained knowledge about Bitcoin Cash and I'm loving it, I gained friends where I can share and receive additional learning, and I learned a lot more with the articles I read here in read.cash. And more importantly, I gained very good amount of Bitcoin Cash already and that helped me with my daily needs.
However, this past few weeks, I was inactive and not making any articles and only take a visit sometime whenever I wanted. When I've decided to more active already, created an article, read some articles and give comments, I noticed that my comments was marked as spam.
I was kind of frustrated because I know to myself that I am not spamming comments in an article. There is only two things in my mind why this happens;
Someone marked me/my comment as a spam or;
There is currently wrong with the spamming system.
After noticing this, I immediately emailed the read.cash support email about my **concern** and unfortunately there is still no reply from them.
I still kinda understand them because maybe they can't easily occupy all emails as maybe they are receiving lots of emails everyday. I emailed them 3 times already and I think that should be enough. I don't want to spam them.
**Why I am ranting this?**
As what the introduction of this article mentioned, I admit that I was here in the first place for some good amount of BCH.
There is a pandemic and why would I why deny it? We needed money, we all do.
And maybe because I was marked as spam, that might be the reason why I am not receiving any more tips from the robot in my **last 10 articles**. And that is not great.
I already have a considerable number of subscribers in this account. Some might easily recognize me already. And abandoning read.cash and this account will be a very hard decision for me.
I am not cursing read.cash, I even admire this platform because it contributes a big impact for Bitcoin Cash' growth. All I want is to bring my account to normal. Getting tip like I usually do even a small amount from the bot. At least my efforts will be paid off.
I am just a little investor in Bitcoin Cash, I simple man who wants to earn a little through crypto currency. And I always appreciate highly any amount I received in this platform. Knowing more about Bitcoin Cash gives me little hope that I can still have more, that I have a future in it.
I just want a little help, let me know how to distinguish the "marked as a spam" in my comments. I can't wait for read.cash' reply, so I'll be needing everyone's opinion. Thank you.
I just hope that read.cash will not get mad or anything about this article, I don't intend that.
I just want to get my account back to my normal. And if you think this won't do any good, I'll be willingly delete this.
I am hoping to everyone's opinion. Thank you once again.

GetCBN.io update. More ways to get bitcoins.
Almost 3 weeks ago, I made an article about a great site/team that pays legitimately in bitcoin. You can read about it here: ***CBN.io Launches Its Beta Version.*** https://read.cash/@Valryan14/cbngetcbn-launches-getcbnio-beta-version-get-your-free-bitcoins-now-c4f5f2ff
There are lots of changes within the site in just 3 weeks after it launched.
Here are some major updates or new features that you would definitely like so much:
**Offerwalls**
At first, they only have a partnership with Offerdaddy but now Adscend Media is also included. You can now take more surveys or finish more tasks unlike before.
**Win 10$ every 10 minutes in faucets**
When it was launched for the first time, you can only have the chance to win up to 1,000 satoshis in the faucet, but now they made it possible for every users to win up to 10$ worth of bitcoins every 10 minutes. What I like even better about it is that every time you play or open a lootboxes and complete a task in the offerwalls, your multiplier in the faucet will increase every hour.
**Loot boxes**
Now you can open and have more chances to win in different loot boxes created by different users and players of the site. You can freely choose what lootboxes you would like to open from almost 20 loot boxes everyday.
**Referral system**
There is nothing new in this feature. You can have 20% from your referral's faucet claim, 5% in their loot boxes winnings and 5% also from their completed offerwalls.
**Investing in CBN.io**
This is what I like the most. Now you can invest your bitcoin to them with 4.2% annual interest that will be paid daily in your account.
After making an investment, you can now have access in creating loot boxes and can potentially earn huge amount of bitcoin with it.
**Withdrawals**
The withdrawal limit for Coinbase account was greatly decrease from 5,000 satoshi (0.00005 btc) to 2,000 satoshi (0.00002 btc).
Due to a sudden bull run of bitcoin, transactions on the blockchain are getting congested that made it's transaction fee to rise. Because of this, they increased the withdrawal limit for an external wallet to 50,000 satoshi (0.0005 btc). But as of the making of this article, the withdrawal limit is now at 15,000 satoshi (0.00015 btc) with a transaction fee of 2,000 satoshi (0.00002 btc).
There will be more features coming in the next few weeks including a post-to-get-paid feature where you can earn just by posting in the site.
Get your free bitcoins now and have a chance to win 10$ every 10 minutes. Register now at **Getcbn.io****.** https://getcbn.io/register?r=VHCKH
And start earning.
Nonsense thoughts, what a life.
Lots of thoughts are in my mind. Family problems, relationship, financial status, articles, crypto currency and many more. There's lot of it that I don't even know which to think of. I don't even know why I am creating this article, it's just...weird.
Life has been very boring for me, and painful. Well, my 22 years of existence in this world is not that cold, but it seems like everyone around me is fake. I don't know where I really belong.
I'm the breadwinner of my family, but I am still not taking my full responsibility to them. I even wasted a 5 year-course in college just to shift to another course. That was a mistake, right? But they always say to do what you love, and I just did it! Why would I struggle to something that I don't love nor like? But I think it's just my fault. I should have been a practical one.
Friends? Best friend? Buddy? Sounds like a joke to me. I don't even really know the difference of a friend and a best friend. Some says I'm a friend to them, but talked dirty about me behind my back. When I'm around them, it feels like they are so nice. But if can't do things or contribute something to them, it's like they leave me hanging, or was it just me?
Love? Well, I had a good time with it, and a terrible one too. I don't know, I loved 3 women in my life, and all ended with the same reason - long distance relationship.
The last woman I loved made me more realized that I don't suit for a long distance relationship, well, temporarily. Making me feel like I'm the only man in the world then, viola! Just a few thousand miles and found another world, and another man. No, it's not sad.
And here I am, in the world of crypto currency. I know this one won't leave me, but it will give me pain for sure, in the head and pocket. I love this part of the online world. Virtual friends, virtual money and virtual learning.
I am still thankful I have a better understanding than anyone around me, I know I am! They even always say crypto currency is a scam. What a joke. Limited knowledge about the online world then acts like... whatever.
Please, don't feel disappointed if you ever reached this part here. I just don't really know what's up with me. Because I always have anyone to share my good times, but no one with bad times.
Well, I had my realization. I'm all alone.
Ginger as an alternative for cough remedies.
Having a cough is one of the most terrible, frustrating and uncomfortable to have both mentally and physically. Cough have different two types - the wet and dry cough. Wet cough is usually caused by a phlegm or mucous being developed in our throat while dry cough are cause by dust, allergens and other irritations.
There are lots of ways to cure cough and one of the best alternatives for it is **Ginger**.
**Why ginger is effective**?
Ginger contains antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties that could kill bacterias.
It is good to loose congestion.
It can boost and strengthen our immune system.
It prevents irritation and itchiness in our esophagus.
It is soothing in throat and lessen the possibility of cough to develop.
**How Ginger can be use as an alternative for cough remedies?**
Here are 3 of the best ways to use ginger for get ridding of cough.
**1. Chewing ginger**
Slice some amount of fresh ginger and chew it.
Repeat this 4 to 5 times a t this 4 to 5 times a day.
**2. Ginger Tea**
Prepare an inch of cleaned ginger.
Boil a cup of water and add the cleaned ginger.
Let it cool down for 5 minutes after it boils.
Add lemon juice and drink it.
Do this for two times everyday.
**3. Ginger and peppermint**
In a 4 cups of clean water, add 3 spoonful of chopped ginger and a tablespoon of peppermint.
Mix to boil until the volume of it became half.
Remove and let it cool down for 10 minutes.
Put it in a cup with honey and stir.
Put it in a tightly closed container and put inside the refrigerator.
Lastly, take the product after every 4 hours.
This is one good and healthy way to distinguish cough, however, if things get worse, it would always be better to see your doctor.

Comparison of Trezor and Ledger hardware wallets. Which one is better?
As the growth of crypto currencies has risen drastically and looking like to fly higher more in the future, each one of us needs and will be needing a secure place or wallet for our assets to be stored. In this article, I will be sharing important informations from the two most dominant hardware wallets today - **Trezor** and **Ledger**.
Both Trezor and Ledger are hardware wallets. Which means they are physical devices that hold the public and private keys for your crypto. This means you need the device in your hand in order to send a transaction, this is accomplished by physically verifying the transaction on the device. We call this type of wallet as Cold Storage.
It's arguably much safer than keeping your fund on a Hot wallet where private information can be compromised. It's a trade-off here though, ease of use and convenience for better security and peace of mind.
There are more similarities between the two dominant hardware wallet companies than there are differences.
**Similarities and differences**
Trezor is an open-source and Ledger is not. This might be a deal breaker to some or anyone if they want to audit the wallet code themselves.
**Trezor and Ledger both supports similar amounts of assets**.
Ledger provides native support for a theory empowered assets while on the Trezor you will need to use a third party ETH wallet such as MyEther wallet or Exodus wallet.
Trezor 1 also has limited support for assets like XRP, EOS, ADA and others. So if you want a full asset support, you'll need to have more hundred and ten extra dollars for the Trezor Model T.
That being said, the amount of memory on the Ledger Nano S is very limited. You can only work with about four or five active assets at one time before you need to remove the wallet and add another one through the Ledger live app.
**The Trezor 1 and Ledger Nano S operate very similar**.
They have small screens and two-way navigation buttons which also double as selection buttons. Once you step-up to the pricier models, we will see some differences such as screen size and connection options. The Trezor 1, Ledger Nano S and Ledger Blue connect with a USB 2.0 mini plug while the Trezor Model T has a USB C connection. Cables are all included with all models, now the outlier here is the Ledger X which has a wireless Bluetooth connection eliminating the need for a cable and can connect to a wallet on your mobile device which ups the ante for the convenience of security on the go.
The Trezor Model T and the Ledger Blue have colored touch screens. While being the personal fave for everyone was the Ledger Blue for it's ability to take an input from the phones. Users come to love the high contrast of LED screens on the Model T. The larger models both win here because you can see the entire addresses at once when confirming a transaction. It's way more difficult to verify an address that kind of scrolls off the screen.
Both the Ledger and the Trezor builds are plastic but Ledger adds a nice foldable metal shroud to protect the hardware.
**Ledger Live** **App**
One of the friction points to any hardware wallets is software support. Do you need to use a third-party applications? Does a wallet have a direct interface or do you manage the transactions through a web interface? Ledger uses a proprietary app desktop and mobile devices called **Ledger Live.**
With this app, you can keep track of all your wallet balances and manage your transactions. The app is also bundled with the Ledger Manager to add and remove individual asset wallets as mentioned above. If you want to use an exchange service, you'll need to go to a third-party. Trezor on the other hand, uses a web interface to connect to the wallet and has native integration inside like in the Exodus.io.
When you connect your Trezor Model T or Trezor 1 to Exodus, it looks and behave just like everything else with the one exception, you need to confirm sending funds on the device itself. You can easily and instantly exchange directly from your Trezor through the Exodus interface.
**Final say**
Hardware wallets are currently the standard to secure your funds because of their offline, cold storage characteristics. Which one of this do you think is right and suitable for you? Well, it really all depends on your particular needs and all the solutions for both Ledger and Trezor are great options if you are holding more crypto than you can afford to lose. I would encourage you to take the dive and up your security game with the hardware wallet.

Limang matatapang na babaeng bayani ng Pilipinas.
Kapag tayo ay hinihingian ng mga pangalan ng isa sa ating mga bayaning Pilipino, sinu-sino sa kanila ang maaari mong isagot?
Marahil ang ating iisagot ay si Doktor Jose Rizal, Emilio Aguinaldo, Apolinario Mabini, Lapu-lapu, Diego Silang at kahit pa si Heneral Antonio Luna. Maaring sa mga nabanggit sa isa diyan ay ang iyong masasagot.
Walang opisyal na listahan ng mga bayani ang Pilipinas. May iba na nagpapasa ng pinal na listahan ng mga bayani pero ito ay di pinapasa ng lehistratura upang maiwasan ang mga debate at komplekasyon patungkol sa mga kontrobersiya ng nakaraan tungkol sa mga bayani.
Karamihang sa mga bayani ay pawang mga lalaki at iilan lamang at nakikilalang mga babae na naging parte ng kasaysayan sa Kalayaan ng Pilipinas.
Dito sa artikulong ito ay mababasa ninyo at malalaman ang tungkol sa limang matatapang na babaeng bayani ng bansang Pilipinas na karapat-dapat na alalahanin. Ang mga babaeng ito ay hindi lamang nagrerepresenta ng simpleng babae. Huwag mo silang kakalimutan at ang kanilang mga nagawa para sa susunod na may magtanong sayo, ikaw ay handa na iyong isasagot.
**1. Gabriela Silang (1731-1763)**
Si Gabriela Silang ay marahil ang pinakakilala **na** babaeng Pilipinong bayani, pero siya ay lagi lamang nababanggit kasama ng kanyang asawa na si Diego. Dahil sa kanilang mga nagawa ay naisulat bilang iisa, nakakalimotan na ng nakararami na may sarili itong kontribosyon bilang "Unang babae na namuno ng grupo ng mga rebolusyonayo".
Si Gabriela ay isang matapang na mandirigmang Ilocaña na pumalit sa kanyang asawa bilang tagapagmuno ng hukbo matapos ito patayin noong 1763.
Pinamunoan niya ang pakikipaglaban nito sa mga kastila sa kanilang probinsya sa Ilocos. Inatake nila ang mga sundalong kastila na siyang nagpakilala sa grupo sa mga ito.
Sa huling pakikipaglaban nito sa Vigan, pinamunoan nita dalawang libo (2,000) na Pilipinong sundalo laban sa hukbo ng mga kastila na may anim na libo (6,000) na mga sundalo.
Sapagkat sila ay di nagtagumpay, nahuli at binitay, si Gabriela Silang ay kinilala pa rin dahil sa kanyang katapangan para sa kalayaan ng Pilipinas.
**2. Tandang Sora (1812-1919)**
Ang totoong pangalan ni Tandang Sora ay **Melchora Aquino** na nakilala sa tawag na "Ina ng Rebolusyon". Isang ina na magsasaka na naiwan ng kanyang yumaong asawa pati na ang anim na anak nito.
Tinawag siya na Tandang Sora dahil sa paggagamot nito kila Andres Bonifacio at ng mga Katipunero noong taong 1896. Nakilala ang kanyang katapangan matapos siyang mahuli ng mga kastila para itukoy ang kinaroroonan ng ibang mga rebeldeng Pilipino pero tinanggihan niyang sumagot dito.
**3. Teresa Magbanua (1868-1947)**
Isang Guro at dating asawa ng mayaman na nag-aari ng malalaking kalupaan. Hinusay niya sa panahong yun ang kanyang pangangabayo at pag-aasinta gamit ang baril sa kanilang malawak na lupain.
Nang malaman niyang sumali ang kanyang mga kapatid na lalaki sa hukbo, pinilit niya rin ang kanyang tiyohin na si **Heneral Perfecto Poblador** na siya ay isali sa Katipunan ng mga babae sa kanilang lugar. Pumayag ang Heneral, na siyang nagtakda kay Teresa Magbanua bilang kauna-unhang babaeng namuno ng rebolusyonaryo sa Visayas.
Nakipaglaban ito hanggang sa dumating ang mga Hapon sa Pilipinas upang sila naman ang manakop.
**4. Josefa Llanes Escoda (1898-1945)**
Isa sa dalawang babae na nailagay ang larawan sa papel na pera ng Pilipinas. Ang isang babae ay Melchora Aquino o si Tandang Sora.
Pinakamatanda sa pitong magkakapatid at tumutulong sa kanyang ina na alagaan ang mga kapatid dahil namatay ang kanilang ama noong 1918, habang siya ay nag-aaral ng edukasyon sa Unibersidad ng Pilipinas.
Nang mangyari ang ikalawang pandaigdigang digmaan, ang kanyang pagtulong at paggamot sa apektado ng digmaan ay siyang kadahilanan upang siya ay hulihin, ikulong at bitayin.
**5. Magdalena Leones (1921-2012)**
Isa sa mga di gaanong kilala na bayani noong World War 2 kahit siya lang ang kaisa-isahang Asyanong babae na nabigyan ng Silver Star sa World War 2 ng Estados Unidos.
Ipananganak siya sa bulubundokin ng Kalinga at anak ng isang misyonaryo.
Dahil sa pagtanggi nito na sumuko matapos ang pagbagsak ng Bataan, kinulong siya ng limang buwan. Habang nasa kulongan, sinanay niya ang sarili na magsalita ng Niponggo.
Naging "Special Agent" siya ni Kernel Russel Volckman ng Estados Unidos. At ginawa niya ito bilang oportonidad para makakuha ng mahalagang impormasyon sa mga hapon. Dahil dito, tinawag siyang "The Lioness of Filipino Guerilla Agents".
Si Magdalena Leones ay yumaon lang noong taong 2015.
Iilan lamang sila sa mga matatapang na babae ba lumaban para sa kalayaan ng Pilipinas na dapat nating pasalamatan at kilalanin. Dapat natin silang pasalamatan dahil parte sila ng kadahilanan kung bakit tayo ay malaya mula sa mga mananakop.
Kung gusto mo pa malaman ang ibang mga bayani, sigurdahonin mo lang na naka-subscribe ka. Salamat!

Ethereum and Ethereum 2.0 explained.
Let's take a look to a coin that needs no introductions. Even if you are someone relatively unfamiliar with the crypto ecosystem, you've probably heard of **Ethereum**.
The de facto number two, and indeed probably the most famous cryptocurrency after **Bitcoin**. Ethereum forever changed the use cases of the blockchain. From an open ledger to facilitate only peer-to-peer transfer of money, the blockchain became a platform upon which smart contracts and decentralized applications, the famous dApps, could be built.
After all, the much expected Ethereum 2.0 is scheduled to launch this year. But more on that later.
In our Ethereum analysis, where we answer the question: What is Ethereum?
"A global, open-source platform for decentralised applications".
That's the one-line description on ethereum.org. With thousands of games, decentralised exchanges and finance apps running on top of the Ethereum blockchain, not to mention tokens, it's right on point. http://ethereum.org
This extended functionality for the blockchain was envisioned in 2013 by **Vitalik Buterin**.
In the months that followed, Vitalik joined forces with several other people in order to launch the new blockchain, but usually only he, and to a lesser degree **Gavin Wood**, are referenced as the co-founders of Ethereum and the Ethereum Foundation.
The Ethereum mainnet was launched in July 2015 and was very quickly widely adopted, which led Ethereum to climb to number two of the market cap within just a few months from the launch, and with the exception of very brief periods, it has kept that place ever since.
Ethereum, of course, is not the only smart contract blockchain out there. Several "competitors" have emerged during the years like EOS, Tron, Algorand, Cardano and many others, which look to build on the successful model of Ethereum while overcoming some of the limitations.
Ethereum, however, is still the most popular smart contract blockchain, with almost half of the top 100 coins running on Ethereum Network.
But Ethereum also have shortcomings, with the most significant being its limited scalability. This became abundantly clear during December 2017. But it wasn't the increased transactions due to the bull run that brought the network to its knees. It was a game, the infamous **Cryptokitties**, where the users spawn, collect, and exchange digital kittens. It was the first dApp that tested and broke the network's limits.
During that time, transaction fees skyrocketed and many transactions never made their way into the blockchain. The reason for this congestion is because every action in the game and every dApp, is a transaction on the blockchain.
With thousands of kitties being "born", sold and bought every second, and the network being able to facilitate only 15 transactions per second, the herd of kitties overwhelmed it.
Cryptokitties' popularity has declined since then, but today another industry has emerged to saturate the network: Ethereum **DeFi** or **Decentralized Finance**.
This is a collection of dApps, with Compound Finance being the most popular amongst them, that offer traditional banking products on the blockchain, without the needs for banks.
User can lend their ETH, and other Ethereum ERC20 tokens, usually stablecoins like DAI and USDC, and other users can borrow them, by providing collateral with their own crypto. The borrower pays an interest, which goes to the lenders as reward. And of course, everything happens automatically and on-chain, with the use of smart contracts.
In that way, one can get access to money without having to liquidate their own funds, and most importantly, without having to go through a bank.
This is DeFi's most significant promise:
"To bring banking services to the millions of the unbanked."
Although DeFi gets the lion's share for congesting the network, it's Ethereum overall popularity that led to it.
Most Tether tokens are now ERC20 tokens. Decentralized exchanges like the Uniswap and Kyber Network, run exclusively on Ethereum. Even whole virtual worlds like **Decentraland**, live on the blockchain. The applications of smart contracts are endless and Ethereum is the spear's head. It's only natural that the limits would be reached, especially if we consider that it was designed more than 5 years ago, when even the word "cryptocurrency" was unknown to most.
**The Ethereum 2.0**
The much expected upgrade to Ethereum will change significantly the way Ethereum works and promises to solve the scalability issue, making Ethereum capable of supporting the tremendous workload from all these smart contracts.
The most significant change that Ethereum 2.0 will bring is that it will transition Ethereum from a proof-of-work consensus mechanism to proof-of-stake. Right now, blocks are validated and added to the chain by miners who run expensive mining equipment and consume a lot of energy in an attempt to be the first to solve a mathematical problem and add a block to the chain. This high cost is necessary to keep miners honest and secure the network. With proof-of-stake, the energy cost is replaced by a financial commitment.
With Ethereum 2.0 staking involves blocks committing 32 ETH to the network. By staking that amount, you become a validator, which gives you the opportunity to add new blocks to chain. This can be done even with a laptop, of course, you get rewarded for your efforts in securing the network.
The other significant change Ethereum 2.0 will bring is the introduction of shard chains. This are individual blockchains that run in parallel with the main chain called the **Beacon chain.**
Each shard chain's purpose is to take on part of the load of validating and adding new blocks to the chain, while Beacon chain makes sure all shard chains are up-to-date with the latest data.
This way, the network is able to process an increased number of transactions per second. Additionally, the nodes in each shard will need to download and process only the transaction history of that shard, not the whole network.
These two characteristics combined will increase the capacity of Ethereum and aim to solve the scalability problem. Ethereum will become "a super highway of interconnected blockchains", as the Foundation calls it on **ethereum.org.** https://ethereum.org/en/
**The new version of the network will launch in 3 phases**:
Phase 0 - Introduction of Beacon chain
Phase 1 - Introduction of Shard chain
- validate transactions
Phase 1.5 - Current ETH mainnet will become shard
-Full transition to Proof of stake
Phase 2 - Shard chain smart contracts processing
- Shard chain communication
- Developers can uniquely design shards on their own ways
The concluding of the release of the new version is the most uncertain at the moment, as it's placed at some point after 2021.
As is reported on Ethereum's official website, the phase is currently "very much in the research phase".
With Ethereum 2.0 explained, what's your take on it? It's been talked about and expected for years. Now that's it's around the corner, do you think it will bring the promised scalability and silence the voices of Ethereum's critics?

Full guide to crypto currency for starters.
What if there is a technological program that exist that's so powerful that it transforms the very basic fundamentals of our society? A technology which fundamentally influences the economy, governance system and businesses function and could change the conceptual understanding of trading, ownership and trust. The technology existed already and it's called **Cryptocurrency**.
**Bitcoin** is only seen by people as a digital tool for or used as payment for transactions. However, looking more would make us realize that there is more beneath it. Simply because bitcoin became famous because of its undeniably expensive price and it uses.
**1. Trading**
https://www.google.com/search?q=trading&client=ms-android-xiaomi-rev1&prmd=imnv&sxsrf=ALeKk03UNZqwGbSKpz-bml86GPVHgLFyHQ:1604382097147&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi4wu-H1eXsAhXnQd8KHXodAZwQ_AUoAXoECCsQAQ#imgrc=duh24G5xksX9vM
Money exist to facilitate trade. Centuries has passed and trading become even more complicated. Everyone trades with everyone worldwide. Trade is recorded in bookkeeping. And this information is often isolated and close to the public. For this reason, we use third parties and middle men we trust to facilitate and approve our transactions.
**Kinds of trusted third parties**
Governments
Banks
Accountants
Lotteries
Paper money in our wallet
**And this is where bitcoin shines.**
Bitcoin software enables a network of computers to maintain a collective bookkeeping via the internet. Bookkeeping is uncontrollable by anyone because this is available to the public in a single digital ledger that distributed in the network - and called **Blockchain**. (You can refer to my article about **Blockchain**). https://read.cash/@Valryan14/full-information-about-the-blockchain-technology-fcdfd0f6
In the Blockchain all transactions are locked including information on the time, date, participants and amount of every single transaction. Nodes owned a blockchain's whole copy in the network.
**Miners**
https://www.google.com/search?q=bitcoin+miners&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwiu1_rw1uXsAhWPT98KHQBQC6IQ2-cCegQIABAC#imgrc=4JxBbQvDE4e4tM
Base on this complex principles of mathematical process, the Bitcoin miners is the one to verify each transactions in the network for the ledger to be maintained. The principles also makes sure that every nodes are automatically and continuing to agree about what's happening in the ledger and to the transactions. If someone tried to manipulate the transaction, nodes will be cancelled and disallow to function in the blockchain.
Transactions are public and lots of nodes agrees that a transactions has happened on that time and date.
**Ledger**
The ledger doesn't care whether a Bitcoin represents a certain amount of Dollars or Euros or anything else that value or property for that matter. Everyone can decide how will they buy bitcoin.
A Bitcoin a divisible in a hundred million units. Bitcoin units are programmable and identifiable. This means that the users can program a properties to every unit.
**They can program it to represents**:
Euro cent
Share in a company
Kilowatt hour of energy
or Digital certificate of ownership.
That says that bitcoin is more than just a money for transaction payments.
**Bitcoin can also represents many kinds of properties like:**
thousand dose of oil
credits
or a vote during elections
**More of it, bitcoin can also make us to make our cash and money flows automize and smarter.**
Imagine a health care allowance in dollars or Euros that can only be use to pay for health care at certified parties. In this case, whether someone actually follows rules is no longer verified in the Bureau of credit process afterwards. You just apply a program rule in to the currency.
**Programmable open bitcoin**
Allows us to completely rebuild and innovate our financial sector under administrative processes to make it more transparent, efficient and significantly decrease pirocracy.
In the world of internet, lots of machines will be launched to join the traffic of economy. In fact, it already exists.
***Example***:
A drones that delivers packages or a vending machine.
These machines are unfamiliar with the concept of trust but Bitcoin does not.
Because of bitcoin, the drone can be a hundred percent certain to deliver the package to the reciever and know for sure that it's been paid for. And we can program the vending machine in such a way that it can automatically keep track of its supplies, order new supplies to its supplier and pay for them automatically.
Of course you'll understand that this is just the beginning. Internet technology is disruptive and break the status quo. It will show the market and outrun the middle man all the time.
**Conclusion**
**Cryptocurrencies** made a lot of impacts to economy. We should study and explore deeper in this technology critically and discuss potential applicative methods.

CBN/GetCBN launches getcbn.io beta version. Get your free bitcoins now.
If you have started your journey or known the world about Bitcoin and crypto currencies in 2017 or later, then you must have heard about the great company called the **Claim Bitcoin Network (CBN).**
The **Claim Bitcoin Network** started its business on the year of 2017 with three(3) Bitcoin game applications that I personally can say the best and the most paying applications during that time.
Why? Simply because;
the satoshis that you can earn in their 3 applications can be stored in a one(1) account.
You can get almost 200 satoshis every 15 minutes. *I was getting around 50,000 to 60,000 satoshis every week with only few referrals.*
The advertisements are not annoying and perfectly placed.
**They really pay!**
The company is owned under the name of the infamous **Jake Price.**
Sadly, they needed to stop their applications because Google stopped showing advertisement in their three applications and if I am not mistaken, it was to stop advertisement that's all about crypto currency. And that means a thing - no advertisements, no revenue then no more funds to pay their users.
**The comeback**
But just 2 days ago, October 31, the Claim Bitcoin Network change their name into **GetCBN** and launches the beta version of their new game/site - the **getcbn.io****.** https://twitter.com/getcbn_io?s=20 https://getcbn.io/register?r=VHCKH
I was lucky enough to be one of the beta users that was emailed and chosen to play and experience it.
Currently, there are still four(4) features on how to earn in getcbn.io.
**1. Offerwalls**
Here you can complete tasks by;
Installing and/or playing an application
completing surveys
And every tasks you complete will earn you an specific CBN coin.
*Note: A* ***CBN coin*** *is equivalent to a* ***satoshi***.
**2. CBN Faucet**
Every 30 minutes, you can have a chance to win 1,000 CBN coins or 1,000 satoshis. If not, you can still get a good amount of CBN coin. Just come every 30 minutes or if it's your free time to claim.
**3. Lootboxes**
This feature is what I like the most. With just a few CBN coins you used to open or buy a loot box, you can have a high chance of winning great prizes.
**4. Referral system**
When you have invited a users to getcbn.io and signed up under your referral link, you can get:
20% of its faucet claimed
5% of its Lootbox winning
5% of the earnings awarded from the Offerwalls
**Minimum withdrawals**
I also like how they allow their users to withdraw their earnings with a very reachable amount. If you have a Coinbase account, you can ask a withdrawal with only 5,000 satoshis or BTC 0.00005000. And only 15,000 satoshis or BTC 0.00015000 directly to your wallet.
**How to get started?**
All you have to do is;
Sign up in their site : https://getcbn.io https://getcbn.io/register?r=VHCKH
Provide your email address (they don't spam)
Create password and login.
And start earning!
That's easy, right?
You can also follow their Twitter account for further news and their **Crazy Time** event where you can win huge amount of bitcoins which they said will happen in December/Christmas.
Twitter: https://twitter.com/getcbn_io?s=20
**Overall**
The site is still in beta version yet there are no advertisements that can annoys you unlike the other earning sites. And there will be more to comes when they will get live in December!
I had a very good experience with them as they were the one who gave me my first bitcoins (satoshis to be exact). I have been a big fan of them since then and I was so excited that they launched a beta version of their game already. I fully recommended this to everyone as this company was the best but still the best paying company.
If you have a questions, please drop it down below and I would be willing to answer all of it!
*Note: I am not associated with GetCBN group nor being paid for this advertisement. I am just sharing it to everyone who is in need of a possible income online.*

Full information about the TimeStope mining project.
In my past articles I was giving out informations about the **Pi Network** application but in this article I'm going to tackle about **TimeStope**.
**TimeStope** is a new crypto currency that's by their own claims more or less said to change the way crypto currencies works to some extent. And I want to tell you about it in what so special about it, if it's legit, if it's a scam, are there any risks in using TimeStope or is it a great opportunity that you should not miss out.
If you have read my articles about the Pi Network, it's a new crypto currency that published the first draft of its white paper and since then has started development and so on in March 2019. And one of the core things about Pi was that the way regular crypto currency works seems unfair. Early adopters, so people that joined Bitcoin for example, very early when it was still worthless, got to mined a lot of Bitcoin for free with almost no effort. And people that joined Bitcoin now, cannot really mine it profitably.
So it seems a little bit unfair because people that jumped in early got a huge benefit so Pi was thinking an approach to makes it more fair. I know you are now wondering why I am telling you about the Pi Network when this article should be about TimeStope. Just keep reading and I will tell you why it is important to understand those principles from Pi Network and it will help you understand TimeStope even better.
So Pi came up with way too basically limit free mining to a certain period of time so at the time I published this article you can still sign up with Pi Network application and get your free Pi coins. But when Pi Network reaches a hundred million users or the certain number they want, they will stop the free mining of Pi coins to limit the supply which is important get the specific value for Pi coin.
**Now, why does this all relevant to TimeStope?**
The reason for all of it is when you look at TimeStope, you will notice that there are lots of similarities between TimeStope and the Pi Network. However, TimeStope was only launched this 2020 so they actually launch over a year after Pi so it stands a reason that they copy a lot of ideas from Pi Network which is not necessarily a bad thing because if you think about it, every crypto currencies after Bitcoin, pretty much copied the Blockchain approach from Bitcoin then came up with different use cases and makes ways to make transactions faster, smaller fees and so on.
**Again, why I am telling you about Pi and how it limits supply eventually when the topic was all about TimeStope?**
The reason for that is because TimeStope approaches different. TimeStope allows every person in this world that they have 24 hours per day, no matter if you are rich or not which is fair and they used that metric to give you coins.
**Steps in signing up to TimeStope:**
1. Download TimeStope on Google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.timestope
2. Create account and enter a code from your inviter.
3. Start the app everyday to confirm attendance.
4 You can also invite other **users.**
Then you can start now earning 24 Tau per hour.
**Tau** is the unit used to measure **TimeStope coin** and it's basically the lower keys "T" in the Greek alphabet.
**What's the good thing?**
Now there's a catch to it, just like in Pi Network, when you invite other users, you start to mine more coins when you've invited other users and get some part of their profits.
There are some differences between Pi and TimeStope that are really important. Some things that TimeStope did really well and some things in my opinion may backfire for TimeStope but that remains to be seen in the future.
One of those differences are:
**Mining** - In the Pi Network, you have to log in everyday and push a button again every 24 hours after pushing it, which means you can miss some time if you forgot to do it. However in TimeStope, you have to log in everyday and basically confirm your attendance every time you want and that means there are no time to get wasted in claiming your free coins.
Other difference is when you stop mining Pi, it will still keep your coins the way it is. But in TimeStope, there is something called the **Attendance** **Score**. When you sign up you have an attendance score of 100 points. So everyday when you log in and confirm your attendance, you will increase your score by two but when you miss confirming your attendance it will decreases by 3 points. The attendance for TimeStope is used for two things: ***The transfer limit of coins per year*** and the ***period of time*** ***where you can actually mine*** TimeStope coin for free. After signing up, you will get an initial time for mining coin for 2 years.
Just like the Pi Network, TimeStope is still not a fully crypto currency where we can't say yet how much value it can have. If you will ask me if this is legit, I would probably say yes because there is no money for investment involved and only takes a little of our time everyday for us to start mining. And one last thing is that the concept of the project is very good and it is free, so why not?
I will not be sharing my code here because the @TheRandomRewarder forbid it so you it's up to you to find a code for you to start. You can find it in any social medias.
You can rely on my articles about the Pi Network below:

Philippines' modern heroes.
When we are celebrating our National Heroes Day, we always give value to all the things that our National Heroes has done for the freedom of our Homeland. Without those brave heroes, the Philippines will never be known as an independent country and Filipinos will always be living with our independence' pride.
It has been more than a century that the Philippines has declared about its independency. But, in our current generation, do you think that there are still heroes that exists in our society?
Jose Rizal, Apolinario Mabini and Juan Luna are one of the famous and greatest Filipino heroes we've know, and aside from them, we still have many Filipino heroes that is currently in our society and that someone we can be proud of.
Here are few of these modern heroes :
1. **Overseas Filipino Workers**
https://www.google.com/search?q=OFW&client=ms-android-xiaomi-rev1&prmd=vin&sxsrf=ALeKk00fDK4c8SlQ2wFJYQGoYdk1fROsMQ:1604128529098&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj9lJq5pN7sAhX4knIEHbLED6oQ_AUoAnoECCYQAg&biw=360&bih=560#imgrc=9mlhOx5LuHcwbM
These modern heroes takes a very important role in the Philippines' economy because their remittances makes a big effects on its **Gross Domestic Product** (GDP) that is providing more investment and spending for the Philippines. And the truth is, according to BSP ( Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas ), remittances from OFW's reached $2.35 billion way back in April 2018.
However, it is not an easy job to be an OFW. Excluding the difficulties in their jobs, being far away from their families is the hardest part for them but they still choose to work hard and live away from the country just to give a better life for their families.
2. **The Local Nurses**
https://www.google.com/search?q=filipino+nurses&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwj_uOG6pN7sAhUxZN8KHYhDBNAQ2-cCegQIABAC&oq=filipino+nurses&gs_lcp=ChJtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1pbWcQARgAMgIIADICCAAyAggAMgIIADICCAA6BAgjECc6BwgjEOoCECc6BAgAEENQrYYPWJauD2CtuA9oAXAAeAKAAZkEiAG4NZIBCDMtMTUuMi4xmAEAoAEBsAEFwAEB&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-img&ei=FA-dX__eFbHI_QaIh5GADQ&bih=560&biw=360&client=ms-android-xiaomi-rev1&prmd=vin#imgrc=PTG1727LbTyKKM
A way of life just to serve someone is what a Nurse really mean and not just a profession. Just for you to know, the Philippines is lacking hospital facilities especially for the families that can't afford expensive hospitals. Nurses are called the hospital's lifeblood as they do lots of works in the hospital. This is a very hard profession yet one of the professionals that has the lowest income.
Other Nurses wanted to go abroad and some still choose to serve in the Philippines. Being a hero requires sacrifices and that is why we must always be grateful to the passion and sacrifices of our Philippine Nurses.
3. **Teachers**
https://www.google.com/search?q=filipino+teacher&client=ms-android-xiaomi-rev1&prmd=ivn&sxsrf=ALeKk01aCKZRP0sFw0OJy3STtWSmnPHsZQ:1604129054573&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwijz-Kzpt7sAhWXgnIEHaAzA2kQ_AUoAXoECCMQAQ#imgrc=s8A6lTDNAC64tM
It is not all about writing, reading, doing math, interpreting and analyzing information that Teachers teach us, they can also be considered as our friends, mentor and knowingly as our second parents. Taking care and inspiring future generations are also their work. It requires value, understand and wider patience for the young generation for you to be called as a teacher.
Engineers, corporate executives and and doctor's salary an really incomparable to the Teacher's salary because it is very small compared to me. However, Teachers still choose to continue inspiring students and living their profession because they love teaching and guiding the young ones to secure their future.
4. **Police**
https://www.google.com/search?q=filipino+police&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwiBw9a0pt7sAhWUjuAKHSO6DTEQ2-cCegQIABAC&oq=filipino+police&gs_lcp=ChJtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1pbWcQAzICCAAyAggAMgIIADICCAAyAggAOgQIIxAnOgQIABBDOgUIABCxA1D79glYsYwKYNSSCmgAcAB4AIABpQWIAa4qkgEIMy0xMi4xLjGYAQCgAQHAAQE&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-img&ei=IBGdX4GzHJSdggej9LaIAw&client=ms-android-xiaomi-rev1&prmd=ivn#imgrc=rXvNMtEB63tbMM
The lives of the Police is and will always be at risk everyday. Because criminality is an unending issue up to this day, a part of their profession is also being alert to what might happen anytime around them. They were also sometimes abused and sometimes abusive but only because of the hard-headed individuals who thought they are an expert to laws than to them.
And compared to the Teacher, they have better salaries but only few amounts comparing to each other. Their profession is something that must also be given bigger value as it's their lives that they are risking everyday.
**Final thoughts**
Aside from cherishing and commemorating the bravery of our national heroes during National Heroes Day, we must also give value to all of the sacrifices of the modern heroes for their contributions to the Philippines. When that day comes every year, let's also give them some special presents or even just a letter of appreciation for their work. That way will make them proud that the profession they choose is worth it and recognizable and make them feel inspired too.

Differences of Custodial and Non-custodial crypto wallets.
Since everyone that are into crypto currency have their own wallet where they store all of their funds. It will be important for us to know what kind of wallets we are using and what are the complications and benefits of the kind of wallet that we have.
In this article will all about the two kinds of a crypto wallet and their differences.
https://www.google.com/search?q=custodial+and+non+custodial+wallet&client=ms-android-xiaomi-rev1&prmd=sinv&sxsrf=ALeKk00vEctAA-g8ynRTh_5DcEpQxRGF2A:1603952683626&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiCoMavldnsAhWOG80KHYQzBgYQ_AUoAnoECCcQAg#imgrc=UvKDEXBoBZqlEM
If there is a **Custodial** crypto wallet then there is also a **Non-custodial** crypto wallet. But what are their differences?
When you hold a crypto currency, it store inside of a **crypto currency wallet**. A digital wallet that allows you to store your funds. You can also send and receive crypto currencies from it. And some crypto currency wallets are accounts that you may have on exchanges like Binance or Coinbase for example. If you want to learn more about the crypto wallet, you can read it here to have a full information about it : *Crypto Wallet Explained*. https://read.cash/@Valryan14/full-information-about-the-crypto-wallet-a17e9b7c
Now at the heart of the crypto currency space is the intention to bring the power back to the people. And that is why innovation in the space have built and continuing to develop what is known as **Non-custodial wallets**.
To understand the difference let's begin by looking at the **Custodial wallet** first.
If something is custodial, it literally means that your data or your funds are in the custody or the position of a **Third Party**. This means that they are responsible for looking of the information that you deposit with them. Binance are great example of this.
When you deposit your money with your bank, they own and have full access to your funds. It means that you have to trust them that they will not run off with your money.
But as always, there are concerns when it comes to trusting Third Parties.
We have heard someone who were not able to withdraw their funds or having their account frozen. You may even have a situation to yourself requiring you to actually call your bank to sort things out.
In some cases, you may even have read stories of Governments seizing funds for a variety of reasons. This is also the most reason example of banks of not behaving as ethically as they should.
Leaked documents shows some of the world's biggest banks allowed criminals to move dirty money around the world.
Even when in crypto, there are concerns with storing your assets in a Custodial wallet like those operated by online exchanges. If the Custodial wallet gets hacked, then there's holding their money that unlikely to lose it.
The Japanese bitcoin exchange **MT.GOX** is a great example of this.
In 2014 they file for bankruptcy after 850,000 Bitcoins were stolen. As a result, people holding that Bitcoin on this Custodial exchange lost a lot of money.
And the more reason of this is that the crypto currency shades could re-gap. The platform owes 76,000 clients a combined $250,000,000 in assets. Because the assets were used, traded and spent that the clients deposited with them.
**And** this is where **Non-custodial** wallets come in.
With Non-custodial wallets like Bitcoin.com, Trust, Trezor, Exodus, Electrum or Metamask, you are in full control of your crypto currencies or your assets. There is no account that were required and you don't need to give any private information and also it doesn't require any authorization of a Third Party to access your funds.
A **Non-custodial** wallet is like having a digital safe that only you have the combination to. Only you have access to the funds found in your wallet. It means that you are your own bank.
Non-custodial wallet are the best option for those who wants to have full control over their wealth. They do require a higher level of responsibility but the security of your funds rest with you.

Leomord is still the best Fighter Hero.
I started playing **Mobile Legends: Bang Bang** exactly on October 2018 and it's been exactly 2 years since I discovered the game.
**Mobile Legends** is currently the most hyped and anticipated Multiplayer Online Battle Arena or **MOBA** game in the Philippines. It has 500 million downloads on Google Play and currently more than 75 million of players are active on playing the game.
Just the time that I installed the game on my phone was exactly the release of the new fighter hero called **Leomord** in the original server.
As a newbie that time, I also want to use the new hero as I read all the description about the new hero, it is just easy to use.
For 2 years of playing Mobile Legends, Leomord has become my main hero in solo rank or even if I have a friend to play with. Just because of Leomord, I reached the Mythical Rank just by using him in rank games.
But within that 2 years of being in the game, there were lots of changes that affects the usage of every heroes. Updates, heroes were buffed and nerfed, changes in the map of the game are some it. But with the lots of updates that came in game, Leomord still at the top to be the best and strongest Fighter in the game.
**Why Leomord is still the Best?**
Leomord is considered the best because of these reasons:
**Burst and High damage**
Leomord' skills have high damages especially when it is with its ultimate. All of its skill are pretty insane that would likely to easily eliminate squishy heroes like Mages and Marksman. When it's with its ultimate, Leomord gains another set of skills that has higher damage. His damage will also be increases because of its passive skill that when the enemies has only below 30% of their health, Leomord will deal critical damage to them.
**Sustainability**
Leomord alone is strong enough even when facing a 1 vs 5 match. He contains high physical defense and when in mounted state, He received more 60% of its defenses when using his ultimate.
And because of the high damage with its skills, Leomord would make a great combination of Bloodlust axe (Spell Vamp) and Wings of Apocalypse (defense) items. This gives him more sustainability in clashes that the opponent would have a hard time killing him.
**Blink skills**
Leomord has two skills for him to use when in a sticky situations. He has dash skill when in normal form and a new dash/jump skill when he get intact with Barbiel (Ultimate). This makes him uneasy to ambush and catch him when he is in low health.
**Simple combination**
Unlike any hero with a complex combinations of skills, Leomord only has one yet great combination.
3rd skill > 2nd skill > 1st skill then basic attacks.
This is very effective especially in clashing and those combo could easily kill Mages and Marksman. This will also give him an advantages in clashing because when he in mounted state, he deals splash damage in a circular area.
**Can carry a team to victory.**
Yes, when your main damage dealer/s is not doing good in the game or doesn't know how to play well, Leomord are very reliable on carrying your team. It's skill can easily outplay the enemies and might get wiped out when enemies are sticking each other.
Here are the descriptions of Leomord's skills:
Skill 1 : **MOMENTUM**
This skill deals physical damage to enemies and at the same time gives him as shield. When enemies are hit by this, they will be slowed down.
Skill 2 : **DECIMATION ASSAULT**
This skill allows him to dash in a specified direction and will also deals physical damage when an enemy is hit along the way.
Skill 3 : **PHANTOM STEED**
Leomord calls for his horse Barbiel to join and help him in the fight. Along the way, if Barbiel hits an enemy, he deals huge amount of damage. And when mounted, Leomord gains more movement speed and an increase of its physical and magical defense.
Mounted state skill 1 : **PHANTOM STOMP**
This is an enhanced skill with better damage than the first skill in unmounted state.
Mounted state skill 2 : **PHANTOM CHARGE**
This is the blink or dash skill during its mounted state. This will deal damage and also stun enemies for a short period of time.
I know we all have our different heroes that we love to use in playing Mobile Legends. But for me, Leomord will always be the best. Some says it has gotten weak now, but the truth is, no matter how much they weaken your favorite hero, you will and can still able to dominate the game. So, you? What hero do you like to use in Mobile Legend?
If you want to play this fun and addictive online game, you can directly go to Google Play and install it here. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobile.legends

Goodnight everyone. It's past midnight already here in Philippines. Have a good time :)
My experiences in crypto currency and knowing Bitcoin Cash.
It was exactly on January 2017 and it's been more than 3 and half year since I discovered all about crypto currencies. With all that time, I can really say that the world of crypto currency is one of best ways to earn an additional money but at the same time, one of my worst experience.
I started my journey in crypto when I saw one my friends posting a link in his Facebook post about Bitcoin and saying that it was a free money. It was stated on his post that all that it needs to earn is to sign up on the referral link given and invite someone or invest at least $10 for us to be able to withdraw - that was cloud mining.
As a beginner, I quickly signed up and went to the dashboard and saw an amount of BTC running. Of course I didn't want to invest as there was an other options to be eligible to withdraw - inviting.
I was inviting for almost one week and gained some referrals, and 10 days after I signed up to the link, I saw my balance on the dashboard that I already reached the required balance to withdraw. I tried to withdraw it and after 6 to 7 hours, I received a notification in my Coin.Ph wallet that i received something. When I checked it out, there was a balance of BTC and below it was the amount of more than 500 Pesos.
I was really happy that time and that alone pushed me to know more about crypto currency - Bitcoin to be exact.
I made some research about the ways to earn more Bitcoins and learned that there are lots ways. Bitcoin applications, cloud mining, airdrops, faucets, investing, trading and many more.
As a beginner, I didn't want to occupy my mind with all those stuff as I was also a student. So I decided to choose only 2 ways for me to earn - through Bitcoin earning applications and cloud mining.
**Discovering Claim Bitcoin Network**
https://www.google.com/search?q=claim+bitcoin+network&client=ms-android-xiaomi-rev1&tbm=isch&prmd=vni&sxsrf=ALeKk01ScYjXPNwNuFOIVR5yW8ftxL2OsA:1603716907832&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwis3_GEp9LsAhUKwosBHeNoDuIQ_AUIFigD&biw=360&bih=560&dpr=2#imgrc=BKTvuJ_6Cul_DM
This was the very first 3 applications that I discovered and all I can say that this was and for me, still the greatest and highest paying bitcoin applications when it was still running.
These 3 applications can make you claim almost 200 satoshis every 15 minutes and every week you can get 50,000 satoshis or around $5.00 that time. Sadly, they needed to stop their applications because Google stop running advertisement in their apps because of the threats of crypto currency.
I was playing their applications for more than half a year before they stopped running the apps and I have earned more than $100 through the game and my affiliates income.
**Getting scammed**
After the Claim Bitcoin Network stopped their apps, I was reminded that there are still other ways to earn crypto currency. I tried to study about trading but I've concluded that it needed to have quite some amount to get started so I neglected it and instead decided to invest through cloud mining sites.
So I looked everywhere in Facebook groups, advertisements in faucet's sites and even in mobile applications that advertise cloud mining.
Then I saw again a referral link on Facebook with a proof of payment that he had received from the investment site. So without hesitation, I quickly signed up and deposited $20 of BTC because I had this mindset that the greater amount of investment, the greater amount of profit I can receive. I was so ignorant that time that I didn't think of the risks I was getting into.
10 days had passed, and that was the time that I should withdraw my deposits as well as my profit. But the moment I opened the site, I was shocked! The site says that there was an error and no matter how many times to reload the site it doesn't show anymore.
I tried to ask questions on Facebook about the problems and I was really saddened about their responses - "**It's already a scam because it was running for many weeks now**".
I was really annoyed that time, my hard-earned money was gone just like a bubble. But despite of that, I made it as an experience and learned something new - "**Always invest in a newly launched investment sites**".
And because I thought was smart enough, I then again invested but this time with a newly launched site. I quickly signed up again and invested $20 with a confidence that I'll be getting paid the next day. But I was wrong, the site was already a scam even on its first day. Then again, I lost my hard-earned money.
**Had a huge profit for the first and last time.**
Because I was so naive and wanted to take to all my lost money, I still didn't stop to invest and that time, I was lucky.
I saw on Facebook again about a site where you can double your bitcoins in just 24 hours. And then I decided that it will be now or never.
So as usual, I signed up again and this time, I invested $40 of BTC. This stake was to recover all my lost funds from my previous investments.
And exactly after 24 hours, I received my money and it was doubled.
And that was the only time I received such profit in one day. Then I stopped.
**Leaving crypto currency**
The time came that I needed to stop knowing the crypto currency world. I needed to pursue and focus on my studies. It was a sad moment but i knew to myself that I'll be back.
**Coming back with Bitcoin Cash**
After leaving the crypto currency world for more than a year, because of the pandemic, I've decided to go back to crypto and start again. This time, it's **Bitcoin Cash**.
One of the forums in the internet I was in was having a trend about this blogging site where you can earn Bitcoin Cash through articles. At first I was hesitant but still I signed up - it's **Read.Cash**.
And now, I am earning Bitcoin Cash and wanting more of it because the fork is way better than its original. The transactions are way faster, the fees are a lot smaller and I'm seeing high potential that Bitcoin Cash will one day surpass Bitcoin.
I made a research about Bitcoin Cash because back then I didn't care about Bitcoin Cash and after gaining some knowledge about it, I was really amazed how will this coin have the possibility of becoming the World's largest payment system. And when that time came, I will be there.

Full review about the Pi Network's Legitimacy.
For the past days, I've been making some articles about the **Pi Network** but I haven't had shared my reviews about it. So today we are gonna take a closer look about the Pi Network in this article.
But before it, I want to clarify or to create some **foundations**.
Now most of you already know what is a Crypto currency is, how it works and I'm sure you heard already about Bitcoin.
Nowadays the biggest problems with Bitcoin and other crypto currency is that if you would want to mine that coin, you would need a special or very powerful **hardware** and you will get quite high electricity bills. And because of that, people that already have a lot of money or bigger corporations or people living in countries where electricity costs less, have an advantage.
In fact, that actually also let to roughly 80% of all Bitcoins out there being owned by a small group of people because they mined earlier than anyone else then invested their profits to buy a better and more hardware in countries where electricities are cheaper so they now hold the majority of all coins available.
That's one of the **major aspects** of Pi or Pi Network. You can't just buy ASEC miners for thousands of dollars or use a powerful hardware to mine Pi coin because Pi is **designed to be mined on your smartphone** and that will almost no impact on your device's battery.
**Now how does this works actually?**
It is actually is straightforward, Pi launched roughly year ago and it's created by a couple of **Stanford's Professors** which gives Pi some kind of **credibility** or maybe which could also be used to **disguised a scam** by using those Professors to gain credibility.
But overall, we can very easy answer the question if Pi Network is legit or a scam by asking ourselves like how much do we have to invest to get started and the credible answer to this is **ZERO**.
You don't have to spend any amount of money to start mining Pi. And if you are already saying that there have to be a catch because nothing is ever for free, and **yes there is a catch**.
**Pi** is a **new crypto currency** that is only in the market for a year and as of now you can't trade it which means theoretically it has no value. And that literally the only downside there is with Pi Network.
We can't say for sure if and when Pi will actually be tradable and what and how much value it will have.
However, it's also an amazing opportunity because as of right now, there are **8 million users** in the Pi Network and until a 100 million users are reached, people will be able to mine the coin for free on their phone which means you are still among the first 10% to adopt to the new coin and all you have to do is install the Pi app in Google Play or Appstore, look and enter a referral code then click the mining button in the app and after 24 hours you can now get your free Pi coins.
Based on that information, Pi really is a great opportunity. It may turn out that it never gets to launched in the market or never listed on an exchange, then you just basically wasted only a couple of seconds every day by pushing the mining button.
But in my opinion, more likely, it will eventually **become a coin** that you can trade and will have an actual value. So what you get right now is money for free. And once that happens, you will be able to either trade your Pi coins with other crypto or fiat currencies. And we don't know yet what the coin will be worth, it really comes down to what really practical use case there is for Pi coin in the real world and what kind of demand there will be for Pi coin in the future.
So it comes down a lot to the developers on what they do with their coin, but since you don't have to spend any money and only takes a couple of seconds to push the mining button everyday, in return you will receive Pi coins which again, someday might worth nothing or maybe worth something. So there's not much to lose, it's really one of those cases and in my opinion there is **0%** chance that you will make a loss but there's a small to medium chance that you will actually make a profit.
On top of that, once you have the Pi app on your phone, you will also have your own invitation code then you can invite other people as well and if they signed up using your code, your mining rate will increase as well.
I won't be giving my code because the @TheRandomRewarder and @Read.Cash prohibited it.
Personally I am really interested to see where Pi is going to be in the future especially because it literally a zero effort to mine the coin. And when the mining period will be over, and when it's listed on an exchange, you can now trade, sell or hold now your Pi coins.

Goodnight everyone. Heavy rain is still pouring hard here in Leyte, Philippines. Hoping the @TheRandomRewarder will notice my last article. Hehe 😂 keep safe everyone.
Bawal din pala kahit may sources nakalagay sa article mo 🤔
I hope @TheRandomRewarder is still functional. Been seeing more users posting about the "new feature" in their account. I am missing you bot 😂
Full information about the crypto wallet.
If you have been in crypto for more than five minutes, you would have like to know a wallet or crypto wallet bouncing around first. If you are a newbie in the digital world, this will help you to be more cautious in your journey in crypto currency. And if you were already from the crypto currency world, let this be a reminder to yourself.
**But what exactly is a crypto wallet**?
https://www.google.com/search?q=crypto+wallet&client=ms-android-xiaomi-rev1&prmd=isnv&sxsrf=ALeKk02kqLcDo_f3-dezIaZK1aYaAgtkqA:1603522544214&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi7gIz90szsAhULBKYKHWj2CkkQ_AUoAXoECCcQAQ&biw=360&bih=560#imgrc=cHmfkr_wUC8BNM&imgdii=7cH3MduqTZ-NxM
Put simply, a crypto wallet is where you store your crypto currency, **digitally**.
Some wallets are **Custodial** wallet while other are **Non-custodial** wallet. But in this article I will only be sharing everything about our personal **Non-custodial** wallet.
Since crypto currencies actually live on the **Blockchain**, a crypto wallet essentially acts as a window to the Blockchain where you can get access to your funds. Think of it like your normal wallet in your pocket where you can easily access your funds, but this is digital.
*(You can read my article about Blockhain* ***here****)* https://read.cash/@Valryan14/full-information-about-the-blockchain-technology-fcdfd0f6
A crypto wallet could be in your mobile devices, computers or in a tangible ledger device like the hardware wallet.
Since it is digital, it comes with a digital address, **two addresses** actually. These two keys are called the **Private** key and **Public** Key.
**What are these keys?**
https://www.google.com/search?q=private+and+public+keys+blockchain&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwiLnsn008zsAhXCAZQKHe48C28Q2-cCegQIABAC&oq=private+and+public+keys+b&gs_lcp=ChJtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1pbWcQARgAMgQIABAYOgQIIxAnOgIIADoGCAAQCBAeOgQIABAeOgYIABAKEBhQlCxY-Vxgr2doA3AAeACAAcACiAHpCJIBBTItMy4xmAEAoAEBwAEB&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-img&ei=6tCTX4uBL8KD0ATu-az4Bg&bih=560&biw=360&client=ms-android-xiaomi-rev1&prmd=ivn#imgrc=0qY4uK4nHpVbrM
This is a long sequence of characters including numbers and letters which you can access to your wallet. They actually allow you to send funds to other wallets or to receive funds into your own.
But of course there is a difference between a public and private keys. And it's imperative that you do not mixed them up.
**The Public Key**
Is the address you get for another party to send money to your wallet. Think of it like a postbox, anyone can leave a message or an invitation to its address, but once it's deposited, they can not get that letter back. They would be needing the master key or when it comes to crypto, they would need the Private key.
**Private Key**
The Private key provides ownership of the assets associated with the particular wallet. It provides full access to all the stored funds. Going back to the postbox example, with the master key, the postman has full access to all of the letters inside and it can whatever you like to that.
This is why a **Private Key Management** is essential. Whoever holds the private keys had access to the entire wallet. Never share your Private Key to anyone. Sharing your Private Key is as good as handing your hard-earned money over to someone else. Public and Private Keys may look similar so be careful that you don't mixed them up and send the wrong key. Another very helpful way of understanding all of this is to compare your wallet to a digital safe, where your code (a.k.a Private Key) is the only way to get it.
Since this is crypto where the security and sovereignty over your assets comes first, it doesn't stop there. There is still one little phrase you need to be aware of - the Seed Phrase.
**Seed Phrase**
https://www.google.com/search?q=seed+phrase&client=ms-android-xiaomi-rev1&prmd=ivsn&sxsrf=ALeKk02AOHbQmwRmtb0tFHqJDVWjb6D1WA:1603522940037&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjWg-u51MzsAhWiF6YKHdI6ARoQ_AUoAXoECCoQAQ#imgrc=xWdLOU0I2CkafM&imgdii=UxBczmaf0gK6QM
One of the most important part in your crypto wallet. It is composed of twelve (12) different words that serves as a recovery phrase and a back up if anything happens to your device. You can use the seed phrase to restore all access to your wallet and your funds. It's like all of your crypto public addresses and private key combined into a one simple format. Like your Private key, if anyone knows your seed phrase, it means they can get access to your funds and drain your entire wallet. It is very important that you must write down these phrases and keep it in a secure place. Please write it down in a piece of paper or you can save it in a folder for future uses.
