Warcraft III: Refunded?
Oof. It's not going good for Blizzard.
First the scandal around Hong Kong and Hearthstone and now they tried to sell a 10 year old game as "new" when in fact they did not change *much*
The outrcy is huge, and honestly, I've never seen such a bad metacritic rating...
*Source:* *https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/warcraft-iii-reforged/user-reviews*
Yep, you're reading this right.
It's a 0.8 User Score based on **6264 Ratings**. Abysmal!
Good thing is that this time the fans and paying customers are hitting them hard.
What do you think? Is this a damn money grab, or a legit release?

DigixDAO is closing here's how to profit from it
DigixDAO voters decided to call it a day for the DAO model, and there is a controlled exit in March.
Means that DGD will be burned and in return you'll receive ETH from the fixed remaining reserves.
The rate is 1 DGD for ~0.19 ETH.
And guess what? This opens the door for some arbitrage.
Currently you can exchange ETH via 1inch for DGD, and you get 1.04 DGD for 0.19 ETH. https://smarturl.it/1inch
Excactly. You'll get 4% plus in Ethereum if you buy DGD now and burn in March.
You could also check Binance for some cheap DigixDAO tokens. https://smarturl.it/binance

Maskbook - encryption for absolute beginners
Maskbook is a cryptography tool that allows you to post encrypted posts and send encrypted messages to friends on social networks you already use. It keeps your privacy from being stolen and abused by the platforms.
*Source:* *https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/maskbook/jkoeaghipilijlahjplgbfiocjhldnap*
As easy as that. A lot of people wish for more privacy, but struggle to deal with PGP and general key management.
Maskbook is an opensource browser extension, which takes the more advanced tasks away from the user, and only requires minimal knowledge.
I think it's a very good extension to have, you'll never know when you need your privacy...

My thoughts on the DLIVE and Tron announcement
Justin Sun held an "interesting" live-stream about the acquisition of DLIVE, and I commented actually more than I thought on twitter.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ywtzIi8SQ8
My Thoughts
We (dlive) currently have a few million active users
rofl, listening to `@justinsuntron` talking about `@OfficialDLive` "we currently have a few million active users" dude, did you check the site? there are not even 1000 in all channels combined. if you need someone to do some proper DD (=less lying), hire me

1,304,635
in global internet engagement
https://alexa.com/siteinfo/dlive.io
doesn't even have a million clicks (not visitors), but yeah. millions of active users on dlive :)
https://twitter.com/btsfav/status/1218880945085931522
biggest decentralized live streaming platform
my man, that shit is not even decentralized yet.
https://twitter.com/btsfav/status/1218882210838851584
(he wanted to give away crypto...)
not knowing how dlive and treasure chests work doesn't look too promising either :D
DLIVE is so decentralized, they even ask for your government ID
/s
https://twitter.com/btsfav/status/1218947553749803008
Final Thoughts
Live-streaming won't work decentralized for a long, but recordings of it can certainly work now. However, if there is no way to subscribe/donate via DAI and cutting the shitcoin, I can not imagine any wide adoption. It's simply too complex for the target audience.
*Do you follow DLIVE or Tron? What are your thoughts?*

Privacy: Best Practice for IncognitoChain (pBTC, pETH, pDAI etc.)
Hello privacy friends, I reported last time about IncognitoChain and privacy friendly, monero style cryptos, now here is a best practice I started after using it for some time https://steempeak.com/defi/@ash/incognito-to-add-dai-cdai-defi-dark-pool
*Source:* *https://incognito.org/*
Deposit only address
Incognito only address
Withdraw only address
1. Deposit Only
Use this one **ONLY** for getting native tokens in the Incognito Network.
Eg. Deposit Bitcoin to receive pBTC
This address is not meant to hold any tokens, and in case something goes wrong, you need to "doxx" this one to get support/dev help. This address is disposable.
2. Incognito only address
This is your address you **have to** backup. You will send your deposited pTokens to this one, and you use this address for internal DEX trades and general usage of the network.
**KEEP THIS ONE PRIVATE / ONLY SHARE IF YOU USE DO TRADES ON THE NETWORK**
3. Withdraw only address
Similar to 1., this is **ONLY** for moving pTokens out of the IncognitoChain back to the native blockchain.
eg. if you want to get Ethereum, you will send pETH from your 2. Incognito only to 3. Withdraw only, and then request a withdrawal (via the hamburger menu, in case you wonder).

TOR native connectivity should be a high priority in my opinion! (see how Samourai Wallet does it)
Donation? :)

The official ubuntu twitter did an oopsie
Lucky catch yesterday, as someone in charge of the official Ubuntu Twitter account was either drunk, or on troll patrol. https://twitter.com/ubuntu

Incognito to add DAI/cDAI DeFi Dark Pool
*Originally posted on my* *Steem Blog* https://steempeak.com/@ash/incognito-to-add-dai-cdai-defi-dark-pool
Awesome news for privacy friends!
I was researching incognito today, it's a non-traceable PoS based chain, offering several cryptocurrencies via sidechain, and an integrated DEX/Liquitidy Pool. https://incognito.org/
I asked them via twitter if they could integrate compound Dai (cDAI), to offer a privacy focused DeFi Pool. And the developer delivered :)
*Source:* *https://twitter.com/btsfav/status/1214875522213306368*
By adding your cDAI you can move it around and trade it in an untraceable (DYOR!) scheme. https://incognito.org/tech.html
Be Careful
Until cDAI is verified with a green badge on your incognito wallet, make sure to **ALWAYS** verify the contract by clicking on it in coin data before you deposit.
Official cDAI Contract: https://etherscan.io/token/0x5d3a536e4d6dbd6114cc1ead35777bab948e3643
Happy compounding!
By The Way
You can earn exchange fees for providing liquidity in the in-built DEX (soon)!
