Not long after the first post, BAT finally spiked over the target price this afternoon and it even stayed high at 0.00005527 BTC at the time of this writing.

Impressive over 10%+ gain within such a short amount of time. Made a total profit of about 0.00475272 BTC(30 USD). Not a fat profit but I’m happy enough.

The BAT must have up to something but I was just too lazy to check it out as I know the Cindicator would normally identify some market events that are potentially profitable thus make a prediction questions on it.

Take a look at the CMC screenshot today, BAT was the only one with big green while praised by its red-coloured peers. Wonderful view for a BAT speculator like me at this moment!

Previous experiment with Cindicator tips was a success took

I recalled that I made an experiment 3 months ago with the SUB coin and totally forgot about it. I will take this opportunity to provide the very belated update now. Take a look at the original post if you are curious:

https://steemit.com/cindicator/@fr3eze/afunlittleexperimenttestcindicatorsignalwith01btc-63w1es31bi

It was a success too, fortunately.

In short, I successfully gain 11% as SUB/BTC did trade above 0.0000209 BTC within the predicted time frame, following the Cindicator tips, of course.

This is not a promotion.

To be honest, I’m not trusting whatever Cindicator was feeding me 100% but I guess it would be fun to share how I trade accordingly with an insignificant capital. Undoubtedly, the joy would be doubled if all the indicators were accurate which is, fortunately, the case now.

Let’s see what the next interesting indicator I would receive!

Cindicator 又建功啦。这次算是第二次了吧，起初的计划就是用 0.1 BTC 来试一试 Cindicator 给的交易信号有多准。 很幸运的，目前都还没有失手（虽然仅有两次）。简而言之，这次就是在两天内实现了 BAT 会涨 10% 的预言。虽然只赚了不痛不痒的 30 刀，也聊胜于无吧！

It’s been a while since the last time I took a look at the Cindicator Bot which will provide an AI-processed indicator of the crypto market. Despite I rarely trading crypto these days, the other main reason is that the Bot rarely provided positive strong indicator usually.

Last night before I decided to spend my last hour of the day playing GTA5, Cindicator Bot notified a great indicator for a famous coin, the Basic Attention Token(BAT) as follows:

It suggested a quick 11% gain from the price 0.00004629 BTC to 0.00005161 BTC within 10 days. Just, as usual, I take the fun experimenting over such a positive indicator with little money(just a few hundred bucks). Bought in at a little higher entry point(0.0000480-ish) as I did not get notified instantly.

Did not hit the target yet but we are close

Here is how the BAT do over almost 24 hours since my bought in time. All day high at 0.0000506 BTC and dipped a little bit to 0.00005011 BTC at the time of this writing. Nice and quick 5%+ profit within a day but our target is not hit yet although it was pretty quick. I’ve already set a sell order at 0.000052 BTC the moment I bought the BAT and I’m not going to change that.

Keep it going BAT, you can do better!

UPDATE: BAT went on a rally the very next day, yay! Check it out here

The result is $0.796711

So the final result the market has given us is here, Close Price of Steem in term of USD on 4 Nov 2018(UTC time) = $0.796711 which can be verified under CMC Steem page.

Original contest post: https://steemit.com/steem/@fr3eze/i-m-a-dolphin-finally-giveaway-30-steem-as-celebration-or
Participant listing: https://steemit.com/contest/@fr3eze/guesssteempricecontestparticipantslisting-v7dum3cz5u

Sorting the winners out

This part would explain how the winners are being filtered and finalized:

1] Used SQLSteem to query the total entries under the original contest post using LINQPad5.

SELECT
     last_update, author, body
FROM
    Comments (NOLOCK)
WHERE
    parent_permlink LIKE 'i-m-a-dolphin-finally-giveaway-30-steem-as-celebration-or'  and
    last_update < '11/2/2018 11:59:00 PM' 

2] Export the result to Excel without formatting. Trimmed down excessive cells and rows in manually and produce 1 account align with 1 answer per row.

3] I was struggling finding a programmatic way to extract numbers(prediction) from the body of comment consists of string and numbers. This formula does help a lot:

=CONCATENATE(“0.”, SUMPRODUCT(MID(0&C26, LARGE(INDEX(ISNUMBER(–MID(C26, ROW(INDIRECT(“1:”&LEN(C26))), 1)) ROW(INDIRECT(“1:”&LEN(C26))), 0), ROW(INDIRECT(“1:”&LEN(C26))))+1, 1) 10^ROW(INDIRECT(“1:”&LEN(C26)))/10))

4] Once I got the numbers-only column, added one result row in anywhere and sorted everything in small to the big order. The closest 3 rows to the result row would be our winners.

5] Verification of the winners including objectively judging if their account is duplicate or bot or not, did they upvoted the post or not, and so on. Fortunately, although I do not know all the 3 winners before the contest, their entries are valid.

Congratulations to the winners!

The first prize winner was just $0.000291 away from the correct Steem price while the third prize winner was $0.001027 away. The prizes would go to the following winners:

• @divine-sound - First place(15 STEEM)


• @tonygreene113 - Second place(10 STEEM)


• @dernierdiaz - Third place(5 STEEM)

Prizes would be sent shortly after this post. Once again, thanks for the participants and let’s keep each other active on the platform!

5 days ago I started this contest mainly for celebrating my Dolphin status upgrade and the response is rather unexpectedly overwhelming. There are a total of 105 entries for the price prediction including some suspicious spamming accounts which I surely will be excluded in the final prize calculation.

Never in a post before I was this busy replying and acknowledging all the predictions. I was secretly glad that I decided to force the 6 decimal places of price format or else there would be a lot of the same guessing.

Final list of entries

Although the result is already available on the CMC it would still take me a while to tabulate and filter all the information in it.

I used this SQL query with the help of Steemsql to generate data below:

SELECT
     last_update, author, body
FROM
    Comments (NOLOCK)
WHERE
    parent_permlink LIKE 'i-m-a-dolphin-finally-giveaway-30-steem-as-celebration-or'  and
    last_update < '11/2/2018 11:59:00 PM' 

We can clearly tell that the entries mostly hovering around 0.77~0.83 and that’s the nice to know most of the Steemians is sane enough to pick a rather safe guess. Unfortunately, I can’t automate the filtering process programmatically due to my limited skills. Hope I did not leave out any valid entries, tell me if your entry was left out.

I will announce the winners in next post, stay tuned!

I was constantly searching and practive new style of my art journey. Fortunately, after owning an “artist sword” – the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, the possibility has expanded to a much wider scope.

I’m always a big fan of minimalism art style, especially in choosing my devices wallpaper. So why not create my own minimal wallpaer with the help of one of the greatest digital art tools?

This is a wallpaper full of layers

I named this wallpaper “Single Yellow（单黄）”. The main theme is simple, cloud, mountain, and sun are the 3 main elements in the structure. As one can obviously told, not less than 10 layers was applied on this wallpaper.

There are 3 versions for this wallpaper. The first one is the most clean and fundamental one without any color gradient at all at each layers.

The secind version has the color gradient applied with the help of splatter style. Given this version a rough and raw feel.

The last version, also is my most liked version having the airbrushed shadow for layers looks pretty natural and rich in “layerness”.

These wallpapers are not copyrighted and free to use for the public. Anyone is welcomed to download and use it personally as wallpaper or whatever purpose. This is the illustration of wallpapaer application on my own phone.

What do you think about this art style?

A random guy are selling his second hand boat for 66.6 Bitcoin or seller could just offer him any best price. At current BTC price, this boat is with a price tag of $415,146.

Is this too much to ask for a boat that looks like heavily used? I’m not too sure about automobile stuff like that but I guess this would be a smart trade if it could be transacted under crypto because that would waved away some avoidable sale tax?

Anyway, such extraordinary asking post already gotten some attention from the Internet and also, make sure you ping the owner if interested. Check out the detailed and original post over Reddit:
