Take a look at the eosflare.io to check how much airdrop token I have got so far holding EOS. Well, there is 20 of them without having me to take any action, which is nice! Proceeded to check the value of them and to my surprise, the eosBlack is having the highest value amongst its peers!

eosblackteam were air dropping this token to all EOS holder at the 1:1 ratio. With that said, holding 100 EOS would earn you free money that worth 100*0.19= $19. Not bad at all!

The active market is really small and volume is low as well. While I have no idea what this token is doing at all, purely from the investment standpoint, I’d probably should have sell of half of them to secure the nice and free profit.

Use eosflare.io to check if you received eosBlack and if yes, would you sell it off now?

Less than 17 hours to go before the Free coin listing on Netcoins Contest ended, and we already see a huge competition comes up from the Verge community to dethrone Steem from its short life No. 1 rank.

This is very much expected as everyone would try their best to sprint for the last mile before the finish line. And here I’m gonna share an unlimited vote method which approximately able to cast 1 vote per minute.

You need browser incognito mode and a disposable email service

Here is how, first open the contest page in incognito mode from the browser which usually tied to shortcut CTRL + Shift + N if you are using Chrome.

Secondly, open the Tempmail or you can use other services that do the same thing.

Here is the trick, every time after casting a vote:

• Close the contest page which is in the incognito browser.
• Open it up again and the previous cookies would be cleared.
• Change the Tempmail to a new email address by clicking on the Change button on the left panel.
• Rinse and repeat.

Here is some votes I have cast within 5 minutes

Let’s keep it pumped till the last second. I started to feel the shame of getting trashed as Steemian usually claim themselves to be the most active crypto community in the space. Let’s don’t waste the effort of @oracle-d and other Steemians for past few days’s of effort and keep it going.

We deserve to be No.1!

Discord have their Terms of Service changed to revoke the user’s right to sue them for selling customer’s data. Without the ability to gather for a class action lawsuit, if Discord decided to leak your data to any third parties for whatever purpose. Your stance in seeking justice for such wrong-doing is weak if not almost impossible as an average user.

But you have 30 days to opt-out from the disgusting arbitration clause

Read the great post with detail inside on this post:

https://gist.github.com/0x263b/54a37d0f0ba1d65dd59b9a4dfee9ff31#gistcomment-2735914

Basically, you just need to send an email to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com with sufficient identity information in order to make a clear opt-out from silently agreeing to sell own data away. The email template suggesting in the post should be perfect for this case:

To whom it may concern,

Please be advised that I do not consent to the Arbitration Section of the updated Discord Terms of Service, and I also do not waive my right to resolve disputes on behalf of, or as part of, a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. I recognize that Discord will not be bound by the provisions of the Arbitration Section. My username is username, and the email address associated with my account is email@address.com. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Your IRL Name
Your Username (with #)

Think twice if you are about to share sensitive data in Discord

Apparently, Discord is one of the brightest stars in crypto space and it seems like every project must have a Discord channel else to follow the industry standard. While it is not designed for privacy chatting purpose, such an obvious intention to sell user’s data away raises a big red flag to continue to rely most of my average communication on the channels.

Sent the opt-out email, grab some popcorn, and keeping an eye on how long does it take for the public to find out Discord’s major data breach in the short future.

EOS developers finnally get the CPU jamming problem resolved by activating proposal below:

https://github.com/eosrio/proposals/blob/master/updateparams.md

Since the mainnet launch the global blockchain parameters were left as default, and now with a recent increase of the usage, the users noticed that the system contract is triggering the CPU congestion mode too early. As soon as a block hits 10% of the total 200ms of CPU time allowed per block, the CPU allocation algorithm switches to the congestion mode and every user is left with his share of the remaining allocation based on their stake in proportion to the whole network stake. What ended up happening is that while the actual CPU usage of the validators is very low, the CPU price became higher.

It seems like the sudden surge of network usage has triggered the self-protection mechanism too early and we can very much relate this phenomena to the rising stars, Betdice and EOSBet, the biggest twin dapps in EOS network.

Interestingly, the solution in the proposal was very alike with our Steem’s RC disaster:

This proposal aims to change the current value for target_block_cpu_usage_pct from 1000 (10%) to 2000 (20%)

Not enough RC? Multiply the RC! Not enough CPU? Double the CPU! Problem solving has never been this easy.

Not bad as a stress test

While the hot gambling dapps get so popular that the crazy trading volume paralyzed the whole network for a few days, this is actually healthy for the long term stability.

Take a look at the difference of CPU price before and after the CPU congestion incident:

$2.733/ms/day then vs $0.014/ms/day now. EOS network back in business with silkly smooth transaction once again. Good job devs!

As a resident in Singapore and crypto enthusiast, sometimes I’m glad to have a nice fiat-to-crypto exchange like Liquid. Previously known as the Quoinex and now rebranded to Liquid, the Japanese exchange platform is providing a consistent high-quality work to all the users.

Wide range of fiat/crypto pair

The home currency SGD is paired with famous coins like Bitcoin(of course), ETH, NEO, Dash, to minor coins like RKT, UBTC, and QASH. I’d normally go with the ETH and BCH for the high volume, low transaction fee and fast speed.

Overall the volume in the exchange is awesome so there is no worry for a big unpractical spread in the trading book.

Zero trading fee for all crypto/fiat pairs!

This is the single most amazing point that attracts me the most while I was an active trader back then. Could not find another exchange that is on par with Liquid while waiving off the trading fee. Although it is limited to crypto/fiat pair only, this is awesome enough for me as I now mainly use the platform as entry and exit point for some real cash.

I’m a simple man, I see feeless system I cheer for it!

Security is a dual-edge sword

Purely judging from the user perspective, Liquid might be the most secured exchange I’ve been using due to its tedious deposit and withdrawal process which is possibly still handled by human. I observed this as my requests only processed in the working day but not the weekend. Maybe the platform chose this approach to enhance the security but undeniably it is not as competitive with automated exchanged like Binance.

Nonetheless, Liquid still easily the best exchange for crypto/fiat pair trading if you resides in SG or Japan.

How do you trade crypto/fiat pair normally?

As a new addict of the EOS betting games recently, EOS has become my second most participated network second to Steem. And the funny thing is after the controversial troublesome HF20 that Steem had gone through not long ago, EOS network is undergoing the same situation now.

Low-staked EOS user not able to do any transaction at all.

The CPU in EOS is kind of the same concept with the RC system in Steem as both are designed to minimize the abuse of transaction spamming. The more coins you staked for an account the more CPU/RC the account is capable of performing a transaction in the network.

Current CPU has gone to crazy high level

For example, my alternate account with 20 EOS staked for the CPU and at the level of 80% availability, was drained after one bet in the Betdice game. That is almost 16 EOS worth of CPU for a single transaction. To bet 100 times continuously in a dice game, one needs 1600 EOS staked in the CPU.

Same as the trouble Steem’s RC system brings to the users, only whales with tons of staked EOS could still enjoy the privilege of utilizing the network without limitation.

Some said it was due to some Block Producers is not performing well. If this is true, EOS is far more fragile than I expected as a few entities are sufficed to paralyze the biggest decentralized network this easy.

Come on, pull yourself together soon EOS!
