Random scene with a complex, long bridge that has no end in a lost world.
In this drawing, I tried for the first time that put all the shading in the background but none in the object itself. Gave the overall illustration that the bridge is floating in the air surrounded by sea of mist.

Sometimes it took a different perspective in seeking new inspiration during the art creating process. Especially within a themed story where the artist cannot just draw anything out of his mind.
I found that using the operating way of a zoom lens is very fun in finding new idea what to draw next for the story illustration. You can zoom out so far away that forming a magnificent wide angle scene, or zoom so closely to the detail part of a bot’s body. Adjusting the zooming range and you will have endless inspiration to all the next drawing.
This drawing was inspired by the Jemima-479 which was part of the previous story by @cryptogee

Manage mining rigs in one place
Hive OS is a Linux based one stop monitoring and management platform for mining rigs. It aims to solve the pain management process of running multiple mining rigs at the same time.
With the help of Hive OS, you can see all the rigs status in one place. With all the hashrates, online status, hardware errors and managing different wallets. Administration work like rebooting system, overclocking GPUs is also supported using merely the tools within. A wide range of GPUs has been tested working fine with Hive including NVIDIA GeForce card family, AMD Radeon RX(Vega is still under development), and even ASIC like the S9, S9i, L3+, L3++ and so on.
15 famous miners like Claymore, ETHminer, Bminer Equihash, and XMR-Stak are pre-installed on the platform so the user can skip the hassle of installing each one by one manually from the GitHub. This is the utmost important for miners with wider interest and does not stick to solely mining for a single coin.
If you are running 10 rigs at the same time and decided to switch all the hash power for mining another algorithm, there is no centralised manner but to log in each rig one by one and do the necessary changes. With Hive OS everything can be done within clicks.
Telegram bot service will be used to allow user notified of the mining farm performance. Notification will be sending out every time in the event of GPU errors, low hashrates or high electricity consumption. Besides that, watchdogs like WatchdogInUa, OpenDev, Esonics can be added on top of Hive OS as long as they support Linux.
Managing mining rigs has never been this easy with the presence of Hive OS. The starting package is free for up to 3 rigs and beyond that, it would be $3 per month for each rig. I would say the cost is nothing for the time and effort being saved, what do you think about this platform?

Deploy masternodes within a few clicks
Running a masternode is not only help to secure the network but it is also a cool way of investment. However, setting one up could be a real pain without deep technical knowledge in Linux or wallet management. GIN aims to provide the turnkey solution for investors to set up their masternodes without technical abilities.
The normal manual way of starting a masternode is usually as follows: Rent a VPS server, download a wallet, purchase the particular project’s coin, build and install masternode programs on the server. Not to mention the miscellaneous works like troubleshooting server’s network issue, maintenance job like make sure disk space is always sufficient. Even a seasoned technical investor will be annoyed as all the setup methods could be different for various projects.
GIN is a game changer in this field as it provides a platform to deploy the supported masternodes within a few clicks.
This is the part of the supported coins which users can deploy their new node via simple and beautiful user interface instead of the scary command lines, more blockchain projects are continuously added. Check out the supported list to see if your favourite projects are listed there.
Another advantage is GIN provide a comprehensive Masternode setup & administration UI which users can control everything in a one-stop station. Who are running multiple masternodes at the same time manually knows the pain when it comes to administration work.

Enable Bitcoin physical transaction without blockchain
As the frontpage of Tangem site claims, it is the first smart banknote for digital assets which is Bitcoin to be precise in this case.
The Tangem is basically a hardware storage which its private keys is irretrievable so every Tangem is unique and under EAL6+ protection. Users can trade Tangem without worrying the banknotes being compromised.
I got one Tangem for the 0.01 BTC face value but it comes without Bitcoin loaded inside already. User have to transfer Bitcoin to the banknote via apps from Google Playstore or Apple Store.
The card is about the same length but narrower and slimmer compared to normal credit card size as you can see in the third screenshots. Definitely an ideal physical dimension for a banknote.
Tangem mobile apps is essential in verifying, loading and withdrawing the digital assets inside. The apps itself is not under early Beta stage but I have tested to scan my Tangem via NFC and it read the content without problem. I could literally load 0.01 BTC into it and maybe trade with someone else who would receive it.
Tangem offers a completely new ways to transact Bitcoin without some of the biggest drawbacks. All you need to do in a Bitcoin payment is just hand over the card, the process is validated immediately with zero fee while leaving no trace at all.
Bitcoin might be the biggest innovation of this century in digitalizing currency, but if we take a step back and try to use it in traditional way as if it was physical cash, interesting results can be expected and Tangem is absolutely one of them.
When you make the digital asset physical again, you expect it possesses the disadvantages of physical cash as well. Whoever get access to the Tangem could withdraw the Bitcoin inside via the apps. And if you lose the banknote, the Bitcoin within is gone as well as you don’t control the private keys.

This series is to record my SmartNode journey. This is very much a high-risk experimental act and I’m prepared to lose all the fund invested. Do your own research as this is not a financial advice.
After setting up the SmartNode 24 days ago, finally I got to see this sweet notification in the morning. It has been so long that I have almost forgotten how everything was started.
I wasn’t aware of the initial waiting time before setting up the node. And IMO this is definitely the most stupid mechanism just to make sure new nodes to have a certain amount of uptime before becoming eligible for the reward. Luckily the incoming project update will reduce this period down to 4 days. I’m particularly sure about the exact new period but this will be a great news to many.
I’ve talked about the @smartbot on previous post and if @smartbot was meant to tip everyone who contributes to SmartCash on Steem platform, the next bot I’m going to talk about is a must to have for all the node owners.
The biggest reason I’m using it is the ability to do what the bot name suggests it would do, monitor your running nodes. If you are not aware, all it take is 1 hour of downtime to completely wipe out your waiting time and start all over again for the next reward payment. If it happens in the initial waiting period which is easily almost a month long, it would spell disaster.
SmartNodeMonitor helps by ping-ing the registered node every few minute and make sure it is still online. If the ping result is negative for more than 30 minutes, it will warns you to take further action to make things right.
Following I will use a few screenshots to explain what this bot can do and my journey of waiting for the first reward.
/detail is my most used command through the waiting period. It will show everything about the node and the most one will be taking note was the Position Initial wait time. This command was taken after my node was running after 2 days and you can see the remaining waiting time is about 17 days but this is not true.
Due to the queue jumping mechanism, other nodes will jump in front of you from time to time and the countdown timer will sometimes moving backward. I will demonstrate further in the later screenshots.
Fast forward to 3 weeks later, you can tell how long it has lapsed by looking at the Active since..., it was 23 days already instead of the originally suggested 19 days. This extension is understandable as more nodes are joining the network and the difficulty will only goes up.
And finally I can see the countdown timer in Hour unit instead of the never-ending Day.
When your node finally made to the top 10% out of total running SmartNode, it shows Payout Zone and I thought that was the most beautiful text I’ve been reading in a while. Being in the payout zone means that you have the chance to get paid anytime. The system would randomly pick randomly from the top 10% node for awarding. According to the info command, the worst case it could take some days.
Lucky for me, I’ve got mine within 6 hours during my sleep as shown in the first picture.
SmartNodeMonitor is more than just a monitoring bot but I’ve learnt a lot of useful facts via commands like faq and info. It provides real-time information like how many nodes are running in the network, average waiting time to reach payout zone, and much more. Go through all the commands if you can. This bot is available on Discord and Telegram with username @SmartNodeMonitorBot.
After all, definitely feeling great to receive the 290 SMART reward especially the painfully long waiting time. The future rewards will be about after 10 days including the random waiting time within payout zone. Sunshine!
