EOS best use case = Gambling?

EOS gambling game was one of the hottest application on the network. Dapp like DEOS games, Betdice, EOS Poker, EOSBet, FarmEOS to the latest EOSJack, gambling application dominates the ranking under DappRadar

I spent some hours and EOS on some of those mentioned games and the conclusion is: EOS is probably the best cryptocurrency for decentralised gambling activity.


  • It is ultra fast, close to instant transaction speed makes the betting buttery smooth. Base on my experience, each bet just averagely needs only 1-2 seconds to be completed. That’s insanely quick.

  • Just like Steem, EOS is running the freemium blockchain idea that all the trasacntion are feeless. This is another huge bonus point for a rapid-firing app like dice game.

  • EOS was the most hyped crypto compared to its peer thanks to the huge sum of money it collected over the 1-year long ICO.

  • The smart contract feature on EOS allows a truly transparent and fairer gambling experience than the traditional casino.

Personally, I have not yet experienced any huge and successful crypto use case in real life but I guess gambling could be the first one on my list. I also gained some huge advantage unknowingly over the period betting on the Betdice platform which I should share in the next post. Stay tuned.

I could have help John out if it weren't for Steem

In a random evening, a guy named John Is The Best(Chinese name 约翰是最好的) contacted me out of a sudden, let’s call this guy John.

On daily basis, I’m actually receiving advertisement about new exciting coins and shits like that, so I have developed a habit to auto-ignore all the spams and I guess I should step up the privacy setting after this post.

Let’s get back to our little John. John appeared to have some trouble. Without knowing who I’m in the first place, John was asking for my help as he could not withdraw his 0.9 BTC from an exchange due to the region limitation. Oh ya, he is from China(hence the Chinese name) although I doubt so.

So our conversation started this way:

Discord_2018-11-12_21-04-55.png

Hmmm, mooncrypt.info, I immediately googled about it and the 0.9 BTC trick and this Reddit thread was what I found. Okay, I could expect what trick John would have performed to me soon.

Discord_2018-11-12_21-05-20.png

Logged in the exchange via John’s credentials, there was indeed a 0.9BTC balance in the account thus I proceeded to withdraw it. I was supposed to do John such favour and I can keep 0.1 BTC for myself as a reward, how generous are you, John!

I was hit by this popup message, nonetheless, within my expectation.

The rest of the conversation was simple and I summarized them as followed:


  • I was kind enough to provide my BTC address for John to send me the 0.01 BTC in order to unfreeze his account.

  • John said he was broke.

  • I said me too. Converted all my shits to STEEM that morning.

Discord_2018-11-12_21-06-01.png

I could have sold away all my Steem if I’m in profit with the market price. Unfortunately, I’m not, just like the majority of Steemians here. Sorry John, I could have helped you if it were not for Steem.

Malaysia starts issuing Bachelor Degree cert via NEM? Wish I could have my certificates on the blockchain as well

Surprisingly, I was hit by the news that Malaysia’s Education Ministry start to use blockchain technology to a Degree verification system, called the e-Scroll system. This was going a little bit against with my impression that the Gov has always lagged behind the tech and being inefficient. Not sure if the Gov was improving or just I favour everything that has something to do with blockchain.

Undoubtedly this is a brilliant way of utilizing the decentralized ledger by releasing University Degree via a tamper-proof method. Fraudulent academic degrees issue could be tackled in no time and with least effort given the partnered blockchain network(in this case it is NEM) is matured enough.


Currently, Malaysian universities received thousands of requests globally to verify their graduates, but the process is still largely done via telephone and emails which are very inefficient.

In the future(or now), employers would just have to search through the transparent ledger thru tools like data explorer to verify the authenticity of its job applicants, without having to deal with a human at all. And the best thing is it seems like the system is already up and running. One just has to access the site and verify a product via scanning QR code or keying product ID:

Simple UI and straight-forward operation style. Too bad I don’t know any graduate from International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) to try this service out.


令人意外和惊喜的是,马来西亚高等教育机构居然和区块链这种前卫的技术搭在一起了,实在是让我这个每次对政府机构诟病不已的人大跌眼镜。高教部在 NEM 的架構下推出了教育文憑的系統,這意味著以後雇主將不需要致電或電郵給大學機構來確認求職者的文憑真實性,直接在類似這樣的工具輸入相關資料就可以查閱,方便大家的同時還打擊了假文憑的惡劣事件。這也是另一個凸顯簡單的區塊鏈技術就足以解決棘手的信任問題,棒棒哒!

My PC is finally mine after one year

ApplicationFrameHost_2018-11-11_23-22-48.png

The most recent photo of my UFO machine. Yes I named it UFO.

This is a day worth celebrating so much, my beloved PC has finally cleared its monthly instalment which means the PC is now truly mine!

This lovely DIY desktop PC was built about one year ago and cost around SGD 2283(glad that I recorded that down). That was on a one full year of instalment plan with 0% interest which is why I rather cutting down the damage in smaller chunks than to hurt my wallet in one big blow.

This very machine is my best company to go through all the on and offline time. Writing content, editing videos, gaming, coding, so on and so on. Life wouldn’t be the same without this PC. I made some pictures with spec listed as a celebration ceremony:

WINWORD_2018-11-11_23-17-08.png

Specs for the peripherals. The Razer mouse were dead not long after, replaced with a SteelSeries mouse. Everything else is working fine and going strong.

WINWORD_2018-11-11_23-34-48.png

The GTX1080 was the latest member in the party. Hand-picked every part of the components and did not regret a bit since then. Love the case, love the AMD CPU, love the 960 EVO and all.

I always wanted to do a full system performance test and that was part of my plan even before complete building this rig. But you know, procrastinate hit me big time and nothing was done after a year of usage. I should find a weekend and clean the case up, tune the component a little bit and do the long-promised performance test.

This is gonna be a study weekend with Webflow University

chrome_2018-11-10_22-53-45.png

I’ve been in a huge web designing mood lately trying to figure out a way to draft the very first web page, while trying to take the shortcut by not touching the code at all. I know I have to deal with some code at some point of time but that let’s keep that minimal and at least after a prototype was done.

Webflow appears to the perfect tool for this purpose. It offers the best drag-and-drop tool and aims to help web designers get the job done in a much faster pace, provided one has already grasp all the knowledge of using the Designer tool.

I was trying to avoid picking up the HTML & CSS & JS for the sake of speedy development but I still gotta pick up the skills to use another tool. Skipping one learning curve, another one is waiting ahead. Funny huh.

Nonetheless, I believe this is the right path to take if all I want is speed. And the more I dive into the Webflow, the more I’m impressed how organised and well-structured this product is. For a total new user like me, their Webflow University offers a very rich tutorial content both in text and video format.

chrome_2018-11-10_21-16-28.png

These 3 free webflow ebooks could be a great entry point. The Web Design 101 is particularly informative, could be a great read for geneal web design purpose if you do not plan to use Webflow at all.

chrome_2018-11-10_21-18-13.png

A collection of course with specific topic.

chrome_2018-11-10_23-09-48.png

I started with this course the first day I found out Webflow. Top-notch quality video tutorials. Just like the course description says, this course is perfectly suitable for total beginner.

Best Banking system on Steem?


Since the day I invested in some SP 2 years ago when I first join Steem, I’ve been constantly looking for an investment tool that is going to repay my hard-earned SP in a various way.

There are plenty of ways to fully utilize the one’s SP including:


  • Self-voting 10 times a day.

  • Delegate all the SP to voting bot like @smartsteem.

  • Selling votes to voting bot

I definitely not interested in the first one. Yet I don’t like the idea of giving away all my stake to a bot just for the sake of income. Maybe I will do that the day when I decided not to stay active here.

@justyy’s YY Bank system turns out to be the best I’ve ever tried.

I started out my Steem journey in the CN community and @justyy was the big shot in the circle. He started the YY Bank initially for the sake of CN community as we were quite small compared to the others. I first joined with a delegation of 100 SP as the project aims to support my fellow friends in the same circle.

It works like some sort of voting bots while giving out daily interest even investors stay inactive on the platform, just like what a bank does. Read more about it here.

I’ve been trying out a several investment tools like the above-mentioned voting bots, @xiguang, @steem-ua, just to name a few.

I’m not going to do the math here as I did not bother to do a detailed experiment or comparison but YY Bank just clearly won in the battle in term of investment return.

Collecting my delegation back and put it all to the YY Bank

I still want to hold most of my SP and I usually delegated out 20% of my power which is at the acceptable level.

ApplicationFrameHost_2018-11-09_23-49-02.png

I guess the YY Bank is not limited to the CN community anymore but you can always check with the bank owner @justyy or check out his post footer in every post for more detail. Give him the same amount of delegation that you gave to your favourite investment tool and compare the result.

You will be surprised.
