SmartBCH and DEX
Some disagreements happened between some developers and administrators earlier today. I will tell you guys what happened but still, it's in my perspective. I will try to be objective as much as possible.
Let me start with smartBCH.
You know it's new and it's all about dex and dapps and smart contracts. If you don't, I highly recommend you to go and check them out because it is a next-level thing happening in blockchain and it's all about decentralization. I have been a fan of the idea of "decentralization" not just in the market but also in our lives, no corruption no scams, and all freedom, kinda sounds utopic. Anyways we only had one dex which was benswap.cash you could have your BCH there and trade with any smartBCH tokens in the list. The best part starts when you see the farming. All you need to do is put your token let's say X token into the liquidity pool (Don't forget that you have to also put the same amount of BCH) and there you will have a share in the pool based on the percentage and you can now stake those and farm the token of DEX in this case which is EBEN. The farms were available for Flexusd, CATS, and EBEN. And I've been waiting for KTH to be there to be honest because I've been hodling some. Even bought myself and participated in the airdrops. I wanna put them on farm just like CATS and others. I went ahead and joined benswap telegram channel. I asked them if there is a specific reason why other tokens are not available for farming. I did that after clarifying with the KTH developer, he told me it's been weeks he is trying to get it done but all he gets is excuses. Kinda made me wondering. I like to wander so if asked them. Well, guess how they answered? Yeah, that's right they actually said nothing by saying something. Like when you read it you know it means nothing. I was kinda pissed. While these were happening or the other day
second DEX was launched mistswap.fi it seemed nice and paying well with almost all of the tokens that you can farm with. I put my lovely KTHs, ARGs, and even some Mists to make more mist. Lovely isn't it?
Meanwhile, Eben was losing its value. It was around $0.95 and now it is around $0.35 I even had some Eben/Bch farming there until just an hour ago. You know why haha
http://mistswap.fi/
When I opened my telegram and checking all these messages between these people. Benswap was there, CATS guy was there anyways they started getting in an argument that Ben is dumping CATS. The cats he received before. Millions of them and they are selling them too. I don't know how true it is. CATS admin was getting angry I would too but If he didn't give him this much (millions of CATS) I don't think he would buy so why he was giving this much token? He could open a farm for you? I don't know. Well, Ben decided to cancel CATS farm! I was just reading these and laughing, maybe I shouldn't because after all, it's all BCH community. So no more farms for CATS and they are moving to mistswap for the liquidity and farming. The irony lies just here.
Admin of CATS was like BEN is the best, it is the first smartbch DEX, mist is a scam don't go there balbla talking nonsense. I don't like this kind of attitude. I even told him to grow up! Because he called some CATS sellers looser and idiot like what? I can sell and buy as I please even I lose or win. Anyways what I tried to point is that is this even decentralized? Giving millions of tokens to the Dex to put you on farm? He dumps it all and you fight? Is this what we come here for? I hope not. I hope this will be a lesson and we learn from it. We will grow together if we support each other. Invest what you could afford to lose. Do your own research, get some people's ideas, don't be shy to ask around.
Dieter Rams and His 10 Timeless Commandments
This article was an extra since I was going to publish one every Sunday. But I think most of us will enjoy and learn from these 10 rules from Dieter. The rules are for good design and perfection although I think it is applicable for any other aspects we may see it useful. Let us dive into them.
According to Dieter Rams, good design:
Is innovative
Makes a product useful
Is aesthetic
Makes a product understandable
Is unobtrusive
Is honest
Is long-lasting
Is thorough down to the last detail
Is environmentally friendly
Involves as little design as possible
I will now give a little explanation for each of these rules and make it a little easier to understand.
A good design is Innovative, it requires an update from old learnings so it can be competitive and continuous for the next generation.
A good design makes a product useful A product is bought to be used. It has to satisfy certain criteria, not only functional but also psychological and aesthetic. Good design emphasizes the usefulness of a product whilst disregarding anything that could detract from it.
A good design is aesthetic. It has to be presentable and enjoyable to look at. The aesthetic quality of a product is integral to its usefulness as well. everyone likes to see something beautiful.
A good design needs to be understandable, it clarifies the product’s structure. It shows what it has directly without manipulations.
A good design is unobtrusive like everything else especially like behavior it should be modest, inconspicuous, and inoffensive.
A good design is honest, straightforward, and direct to the point. Would you like to hear lies?
A good design is long-lasting, not something cheap, and easy to be broken apart. It should be strong as you are.
A good design is thorough down to the last detail, sometimes everything is hidden in the details. Small things make it bigger. Drops make the ocean.
A good design is environmentally friendly. We live in this world and we owe it. How it is taking care of us and running for our needs we shall do the same. Do not forget after all it is what we have for now.
It involves as little design as possible. Less, but better – because it concentrates on the essential aspects, and the products are not burdened with non-essentials. Back to purity, back to simplicity.
Are these 10 rules a lot to make something perfect?
It supports simplicity, detail orientation, truth, the power to be used by everyone, health, beauty, respect, and it's continuous from generation to generation. I didn't take these rules for just technology, business, or anything related but for myself to become more myself. For myself to become more humane and aware. I believe these concepts can help anyone find their missing piece. It may help you to be successful, motivated, and happy.
Nature that we may go back to one day.
Play and Earn
Well, some of you may think this is a scam or a waste of time but bear with me till the end of this article. Since you started reading, I know you would like to play. But what I mean by that?
Basically computer and the mostly first-person shooter games. I will tell you the name of the platform where you can actually do your own research and decide whether you like it or not. On this platform, you will see many games and some of them are offering rewards and they update regularly so in the future maybe the game you enjoy playing will be included as well. There are about 20 plus games.
However, the name of this platform is G-Loot.
It raised $56M financing and giving away the rewards to everyone who earns while playing. It includes modes such as versus, sprint, solo, and player-created challenges. You will have to choose one and run this application while playing so if you win you will have the reward in your account shortly. Do not forget to allow the game to run with third-party files or else it won't be activated. The 'G' logo shows up on the corner while playing your game and it indicates that the client is running and it is on. You can adjust everything easily.
If you don't like to get in those challenges since some of them require an entry fee, you may still get in the daily or weekly kill race list and be rewarded based on your performance. Just calculate the risk and do the math because the rewards come up with different currencies sometimes. Like entry fee is 2EUR and the reward is 3USD. You know what I mean.
I started using this platform in the second week of February 2021. And now I have around 15 EUR. I play regularly, let's say 3-5 hours a day. I go with **Valorant**, **Apex Legends**, and **Counter-Strike: Global Offensive** most of the time. But I must say that majority of my earnings comes from Valorant since it has daily and weekly leaderboards. And Some of the users play so hard and always get the highest rewards such as $12 per day and $32 every week. I will share the reward table with you in pictures so you can understand it better.
**Weekly and Daily Rewards List**
There are some other platforms that offer rewards and tokens but I have not tried them yet. But for G-Loot it is easy to use and legit. You can withdraw your earnings in EUR, USD, GBP, SEK, CAD, and AUD. But you will have to reach at least 20EUR to make a withdrawal request.
They are responsive and willing to help with your issues if you ever have one. Get one for yourself and earn while playing your favorite game.
Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it. Will be coming up with different and interesting stuff in the future. Let's see what we will be talking about next week. See ya.
Why your mental health is more important than any other thing?
Today, I will be talking about something which is far more important than anything else you might be dealing with and it is called mental health.
What is it and why it is so important? I will be explaining it to you very simply. I don't want to bore you with terminologies of psychology and science but still want you to get an idea about it.
Mental health is someone's social, psychological, and emotional well being. If a person is not able to control his or her emotions in certain situations or a daily social interaction that needed to be taken care of failed this can be a clue that shows the person might be having some issues. It will cause daily interruptions with your social, personal, and work life. It is the main core, if an individual is not functioning well where is the point of making money or how he or she could take care of others. It will make things worst and hard to solve.
It could be me, you, or anyone around us. We now treat this kind of case with a higher success rate than ever. That is why no one needs to be ashamed. There are many ways that we can help. But the key here is to identify the early signs of any mental problem someone may be having. Our help will be more effective if the person who is experiencing such issues helped at the earliest. If it is you, seek some help from professionals. Don't be afraid because they will do their best. But if this is not taken care of and the person now developed severe malfunctioning (not be able to cope and function as needed) it will be harder for him or her and everyone around. I am not saying impossible.
So let us take a look at early signs for mental health problems(illnesses);
Eating or sleeping too much or too little
Pulling away from people and usual activities
Having low or no energy
Feeling numb or like nothing matters
Having unexplained aches and pains
Feeling helpless or hopeless
Smoking, drinking or using drugs more than usual
Feeling unusually confused, forgetful, on edge, angry, upset, worried, or scared
Yelling or fighting with family and friends
Experiencing severe mood swings that cause problems in relationships
Having persistent thoughts and memories you can't get out of your head
Hearing voices or believing things that are not true
Thinking of harming yourself or others
Inability to perform daily tasks like taking care of your kids or getting to work or school
Please note that if you experience one or a few of these, won't make you someone with a mental health problem but if you see that some of them happen to become more frequent and continuous please take the necessary action.
If your loved one shows signs of mental illness, have an open and honest discussion with him or her about your concerns. You may not be able to force someone to get professional care, but you can offer encouragement and support. You can also help your loved one find a qualified mental health professional and make an appointment. You may even be able to go along to the appointment.
If your loved one has done self-harm or is considering doing so, take the person to the hospital or call for emergency help.
Let us be there for someone who may need us for a talk. Let us listen to them and be part of their happiness and sadness. Let us grow together with the differences we have. Thank you for reading up to here and I hope you enjoyed it. Have a great day ahead.
My unique experience with noise.cash
At first, I thought it is going to be like Twitter or any other social media platform but once I got into it I realized it is different. You can not actually search for a thing or someone. It is almost completely anonymous. You won't be able to see who likes your post or who subscribes to you. This is actually the part I was surprised. As you know when someone creates a social media account he wants to be seen, it is actually a need for someone. They share some stuff and want to know who likes and who follows them. Well but in noise.cash it is not the same. There are few things you will be able to do. Like the post, leave a comment, and the most important or shall I say the liked part is to leave a tip to the post or the comment. Let me tell you how the tip part works; Site or noise.cash rather, gives you free tips continuously it ranges from $0.01 to $0.10 once they are available in your account. You can now start sharing them, here is another thing that I want to underline which is there is a percentage for yourself that you will be taking it for you. Let say you want to tip $0.02 and you select %50 for yourself therefore you will get $0.01 sent to your BCH wallet. Tipping others while tipping yourself. I am now on my 5th day, have got 90 subscribers,and have made around $5. The site has 6 main and simple rules;
**No begging for tips or subscriptions**
**No erotic or porn content**
**No obviously illegal content**
**Stay polite!**
**No content intended to disgust users**
**No extremism, calls to violence or glorification of violence**
Pretty easy to follow isn't it? I was thinking that the admin or admins were trying to remind us of something so valuable. We can still enjoy ourselves without hurting others. I see friendly people tipping each other even if they have no clue who they are, foods, animals, nature, quotes from known people, news about Bitcoin, and current issues, and many other things are flying around. If you are bored, tired, and want to free your stress you may just check it out. There are many other things I would like to share with you guys, but I will not be mentioning them yet. I hope you enjoyed the things I shared with you, stay tuned for more. Have a great day ahead and take care of yourself.
