Why one wrote "Constraints Innovate" Earlier, one wrote an article "Constraints Innovate", it's for a short project that one is working on. One would like to talk a bit about this project: Spring is NEAR Challenge 5. Spring is NEAR is a competition (maybe more like hackathon?) that gives 8 challenges across 4 weeks, hosted by NEAR Protocol, to complete. Participants chose to invest time to finish the project, and this week (as of writing, it's Sunday my time, and Monday is…

Curiosity: Sharpness and Blunt Previously, we wrote about "Constraints Innovate", about how constraints help encourages creativity and innovation. Today, we will talk about similar topic, in the field of "life", where you might not want to limit yourself. It's not exactly related to constraints, but the opposite of limitations. https://read.cash/@wabinab/constraints-innovate-100f3ff5 In life, we faces lots of opportunities. Some we pursue, some we let go. It's worth noting,…
How To Earn Passive Income on NEAR Blockchain No introduction, let's start. CryptoHeroes https://ecosystem.pixeldapps.co/cryptoheroes Well, any of PixeldApps game might work; but one only plays crypto heroes so... Initially, you need to put in some money to buy some equipments. Most easy equipments are cheap, selling for only 1 PXT (currently, PXT to NEAR is about 250:1). Then, you can participate in easy raid with others to earn some PXT every week. However, the more harder…
Been working on some projects lately every day. One "squeezes all creativity juices one have" to work on the project that there are none left to write articles. One will be back in a few days. :)
The World is Unfair. Blockchain Makes it Fair. Previously, one read an article on Gumroad and decided to try it. Just after finishing one's previous competition/hackathon/whatever it's called ("Spring is NEAR challenge" is the name), one tries to see if one could sell on Gumroad. One thing to check, considering one lives in a country that's not strong with finance, is to check whether things can be paid to my country.…
Interested in Selling Digital Products on Crypto to a Larger Audiences than One? This is a proposal, and comment below on your interest or just general feedback, whether you think it'll work or not, before one decide whether to try out an MVP or not. Goal: To create a (baby) platform like Gumroad but with two differences: Uses semi-fungible tokens (SFTs) to sell **knowledge and digital products**. Basically, there are lots of NFT marketplace to sell arts, musics, etc. But we…
NFTs Reimagined When NFTs are first created, they are just code that prove it's "non-fungibility", that it's unique, and nobody can copies it (those who copies the exact information is non-verifiable). It's a (unique) object containing some metadata. Most NFTs looks like cards, though, with an image, a title, and some other information. It makes sense to first sell art and photography with NFTs. This is the first step: "Can we prove its non-fungibility?" As NFT sphere…
Why The Competition? Why Not Cooperate? Competition is never the norm. It's a heritage, lying deep in our gene, when we try to compete for shelter, mating, food, etc before the present days. Its when, if we don't compete, we'll die. While still carved within our gene, it's not the best way anymore; at least for those whom have abundant food, have a shelter, and perhaps a spouse (if you want one). Cooperation is the replacement. When we compete, we're trying to fight for…
Societal Norm Can Be Wrong! Here's an Alternative. (These are more opinionated, and **there are no right or wrong**. Bear this in mind while you read through.) Have you ever stand outside the society, observing or even witnessing people within the society interacting? Have you ever observe yourself while you're interacting within the society (in groups with other people) from a 4th person perspective, noticing how you shape the society (with others), and how others (as a…
Nothing is Fully Secure You think encrypted objects can be fully secure? Not really. Normal encryption used to be secure; but when computing power increases, it grows not. Pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) generating those numbers are based on either a "seed" (some value you gave it), or based on non-deterministic value (which is actually based on the computer giving it a "seed" depending on various factors (perhaps time, date, or any other CPU states, whatever it can…
