Where DeFi is headed

[Tokenista]

OP, thanks again for the responses.

Well, they can call Bitcoin whatever they want, and yes the whitepaper of Bitcoin only says p2p cash but let's all be honest and admit it's the only one truly actually decentralizing finance. I am not a defi hater of course not but I think defi now is only for rich people (who can stake a lot of money and afford high gas fees) and not helping the unfinanced as it was supposed to. It really needs to fix that for it to work:)

This is why I think Binance smart chain based Defi is now in far better shape. Pool/swap based platforms should always have lower fees to handle high volume. I suggest you to look into projects like Pancakeswap, burgerswap, bake etc. All of them have feels in cents literally.

Yes, for now. But we all know it's just a temporary attractiveness. Remember when people complained about Bitcoin and started to move to cheaper chains like even BCH (Bitcoin Cash?). That really didn't last long at all and now BCH is going absolutely nowhere.

I do have looks at pancake and all that but seriously, where's the actual real value?

Looking back Bitcoin is almost too simple to actually use. It is just a Token, like the kind with Cookies almost, the Kerberos Tokens, etc. Tokens already exist, just more like a Video Games Token, but with no video game. The Blockchain is a great Novelty, the unhackable, no "Oops the bank created Capital that didn't exist", or any of that. Nodes all over the world hold it open, mining moving it forward.

But that goes to, a Wallet. Which was very new and Novel in 2012, but now it is kind of old news. And now, with ETH or Graphene, etc. There is no reason to Clone BTC, except for the purposes of educating a person who is new to Genesis Blocks. Or to have a simple Currency with not much to worry about as far as other people adding to it.

Bitcoin has Counterparty and and there was MasterCoin, but the name Master Coin was offensive and I never looked into it until it was already over.

But Bitcoin is like $50,000 right now, lol

It's not just a great novelty my friend. It's secure. Trustless. That's an actual real world use case that people have been seeing every day. Many use it on a daily basis, for me I earn, I use, and I save. And I know it won't be taken away from me.

Defi is literally just farming and staking to earn more and sell. That's REALLY all there is to it:)

Lol, it is slow. It has nothing on top of it.

I agree you could use it all day to keep maintaining it easy. But people are going to call it a Shitcoin.

And if you have a bigger idea, you might as well Clone ETH. Its both easier and better.

[Tokenista]

I am going to go through how Devcoin works, so people can see what concepts they can pull from it.

So first, I am pretty sure it is just a Bitcoin clone, and the Devcoin users were some of the earliest Currencies made for no reason, and for reasons, like SPOTS. This all came from Devcoin users.

The Coin was programmed to be mined through 1 Pool, and the Hashing Power goes towards Bitcoin. So the intention was that when Bitcoin stopped being mined, Devcoin would keep moving Bitcoin forward by rewarding people in Devcoins. It also has no cap, so it inflates into eternity, but the Developer earns Bitcoin and other coins through the Pool.

But it is set up so 10% of all Pool Rewards from all Miners, go to a Wiki. This is called Devtome, it is like Wikipedia, and you write anything to get shares, your shares payout that month and you have to earn more every month.

There were also Bounties, with Payouts in Devcoin. So you would get like X number of shares for making a 3D file for people to Download, or anything on the list. These Shares go on to pay out every Month, there is no need to earn more every month unless you choose to.

This is part of the issue of why they owe me so much money, they all attacked me because I:

1. Raised their user base from 15 to 200

2. Was earning 50% of the monthly rewards on my own, even with the new users

They got mad about their diminished earnings with a great price spike, a stable market emerging, and plans to continue growing until Devcoin was interplanetary.

Now it's nothing.

...

I was once accidentally sent by my Family, at the age of 14, to a place in Laffayette Louisiana, near Alexandria. It is called Red River Academy, and from what I have seen in the pictures now it looks different, I can't confirm that, I can confirm what used to go on there. And they had a Points system, so I will explain that within everything to give everyone ideas. This is a Brainwashing Program, I will explain how, but it operates on Game Theory. So I want people to gather what they can from it, and use it as a learning experience so that your Currency, Token, Rewards System, does not become a Brainwashing Program, and maybe more than that can seek to be much much better than this.

First, they tell your Parents it's a Boarding School. It was a renovated Nursing Home, and my Mom was given the impression that the Points system was more like a formality, like Boot Camp, just to put you in a Program where you are learning something, but it was a Program where they "Program" you.

You go in, and they have some kids who are trying to make it out, who are like half way, and they introduce you to everything. So it seems ok at first. You are put in a "Family", each had like 20-40 kids, I don't remember. They were named after the nearby Counties, Jackson Family, Rapides Family, Lincoln Family, etc. We shared Rooms with 2 Bunk Beds, so 4 to a Room and Jack and Jill bathrooms, so 8 to a Bathroom. Brushing your teeth while someone else is taking a shit.

You get like 17 points a day or something, and a simple mistake is like 5-15 points. If you do something like Talk Without Permission (TWOP) you lose 20 points, so more than a day. If you are doing something like breaking rules on purpose, Blatant Rule Violatiom (BRV), you lose like 35 points. Each one comes with a "Consequence" which is where you explain what happened, how you are responsible, and what will happen next time. The higher the punishment, the higher the word count. Those are Level 1, 2, 3.

If you Plan to Run Away, its Level 4. You lose it all, go to Intervention where you sit on tile floor all day, get a mattress at night, until you choose to stop resisting and writing a 1,000 word essay or whatever it is.

Level 5 is Running Away. This would happen like every other week, because we only had like 2 hrs a day to talk, and it was very oppressive. They would threaten to send us to Jamaica, a real place in Jamaica that is now shut down for Torturing Children, but they would threaten to send us there to make us earn passports back and they can beat you. Like Slave Breakers.

And we had to go to Seminars, the Points earn you rank in the Program, but you have to go to the Seminars and make it through, and they don't always carry over if you like end up going to Seminar late and stack up points. And if you turn 18 you can sign your life over so your parents keep paying them, or they convince your parents to let you walk out like a Runaway, with nothing in the Swamp. We had a guy there who was like 20-21 and had been there for like 6 years. He went home so excited to get a Moped, then he beat up his stepdad.

Great Program.
Jail is better, because you have a Release date instead of endless whatever. We could only send Mail on Sundays, through a Computer portal. My mom had clippings where they acted like we were sending stuff every day, but really they were editing us. No Run Away talk, etc.

But you had to hate yourself to get through, you have to think "I drink because I can't make friends, but people like drunk me", or "I am ugly, so I have sex to make friends because sex brings me friends", it was basically like attacking you for being Social, either with or without Substances involved, it was about finding Vulnerable people who are in positions where they are acting out in their family situations because they are using their Sex or Insobriety to be Cool or Liked. And then having them say they Hate themselves and Red River Academy, the Seminars then Rebuild you. And they talk about "Victim Glasses" and "Accountability Glasses", so if you are not talking about Hating Yourself, if you don't have a Hate for yourself, if you have no topic in which you are doing X because you don't like X about yourself. Then it doesn't work.

My Mom went to 1 Seminar, realized they were doing something weird trying to change her, and she came and got me like 2 days before we were planning to Run Away.

I think the time for cloning ETH outright's gone. Even with the unique blockchains like EOS and TRX and WAVES and NEO already they are falling far far behind Binance Smart Chain. People don't really give many rat's tails about security when they're just busy farming and pumping.

ETH 2.0 couldn't come sooner.

[devollito]

I think DeFi will be the here for whole time, it is like bank to crypto and its very usefull. I and maybe other holder also wont only let our coin sit in the blockchain. It need to work for us, and DeFi make it happen.

If you believe that crypto is the future, then definitely defi has the long way to go. With decentralized finance, the real world applications can be shifted to blockchain and become a part of this echo system. Maybe we do not realize at this moment, but in future ethereum and defi will play a major role in crypto adoption.

ETH has to be used right.

That is what this whole thread is about, Binance works because it has a Liquidity Token. ETH, needs clones with existing structures.

100% agree, if I clone ETH and call it ETH2 or BitETH, or Shine Coin, or Water Elelemental Currency, they are all nonsense. But if I make a Coin, for Dallas, TX, and it is an ETH Chain, slowly but surely there will be ETH Technology coming out of Dallas, and ETH dApps made specifically by and for Dallas, the Government could even use your chain. Or, the Government could make the chain and host the citizens on it.

If I make ETH4Jesus Chain, it could be a Global Christian chain.

Similarly to the Brainwashing Program explained above, I think another real World series of events can bring enlightenment to the Crypto Community. But, this is instead of a Brainwashing Program, and early Nation Building Program.

Hannibal Barca was son of Hamilcar Barca, who had fought the 1st Punic Wars, which was basically a Racial War with Rome, it was not specifically on Racial Lines but Rome v. Everyone (Specifically Africa), but there are many Theories of what happened, I have even read that Rome would not allow Carthaginians to attend their Schools, which is very Brexit, which itself was a little White Nationalist guided. If they were not allowing Africans to go to Roman Schools, that seems very petty on the Roman side.

But,
The Romans found a Carthaginian Boat, which is a story seen through time. Adam and Eve are ignorant of their Nudity until the Serpant makes them Aware, then the Fallen Angels or Jewish Demons like Azazel. The Phaiakians in the Argonaut Story, and Phaiakians in Homer's Books. The Phaiakians say "We have never met a Stranger", which usually is interpreted to mean they are Primitive or Isolated, but really you can see it as the Greeks being Isolated. The Greeks, after Gigantomachy where they defeat Macedonian Giants by locking them under Italian Volcanoes are soon after taught Metal Working, so we can see that Blacksmithing was being kept from them, and was taught to them through the Sentian Pirates who the Greeks call "Of Wild Speech", and the Italians talk to them but Greeks don't. So it is clear from this the Zeus/Jupiter Lineage is seen as Inferior.

In Zeus' own Birth Myth, Time/Chronos is eating up the Gods to keep them from taking over. Zeus is swapped for a Stone and hidden in a Beecave on Malta. So that begins Titanomachy, where the rejected Gods are freed by Rhea's decision to hide Zeus who breaks them free. The same story in Prometheus, who gives the Humans Fire from the Gods, and a Zeus Bird eats his liver every day. Atlas was a Titan and Associated with Phaiakians and Sentians, Phaiakians being the Giants, Atlas being Mauritania.

This can also be seen as part of what Arachne is talking about in the Weaving Contest, when Athena comes out of Zeus' headache to then later have that Weaving Contest, where Arachne shows Zeues Raping the King Phoenix/King Agenor Matriarchs, this being tied to Sais, and pre-Greek Delos.

But Hamiclar was there to do that,
To Fight back the White Scourge.
He was chosen by the Carthaginian Council because they knew he would not surrender, so they sent him to Negotiate the Peace Terms.

I began this post meaning to get deeper into Hannibal, but I don't want to overload everyone. So tomorrow I will get into how Hannibal was Nation Building in Hispania (even Minting Currency), and ending Rome's Ability to Make War.

I began this post meaning to get deeper into Hannibal, but I don't want to overload everyone. So tomorrow I will get into how Hannibal was Nation Building in Hispania (even Minting Currency), and ending Rome's Ability to Make War.

I will start off the Continuation with Hercules, Hercules is a symbol of the Monarchy. And Hercules was a God spread by Phoenicians, and Phoenicians are seen as the driving force behind Christian Trade (Crimson, Royal Purple, Club/Mace/Wand/Septer, etc) after they first instituted Hercules.

This next part is not based on any Archaelogical Find (the rest is evidenced already), but on the Mytholgy, it seems that the Phoenicians would choose a person, or they would come and ask their people to select a person, or the Chief King would bring in a female from each Region like Powhattan. If we just use Powhattan as an example, we could see that each State type Region under the Federal Powhattan Chiefdom sends a Woman, and her children from Powhattan are then a Royal family in the State Region. Another example is Socrates, Socrates was not sent as a King, but he was sent as a Peasant like Jesus, this can be seen as similar to the "Half-Shod" Jason walking into town to Challenge the King, after his education under the Centaur Chiron. This is also kind of similar to Viracocha in Native American Myth, who comes like a Socrates Figure but is much more accepted, and Strangely his father is basically Zeus, just like Hercules.

But Hannibal Barca, he was raised on a Mountain full of Iberian and African mercenaries fighting Rome. Speaking all languages, with all Nations of people around them, even Roman spies working for them. Hamiclar sets up New Carthage after the War, in Spain/Portugal, so there was a 2nd Nation almost.

The Carthaginian Council did not even see New Carthage as an extension of Carthage and felt themselves that New Carthage might be a threat to Carthage, until Hannibal sent a Tribute so they knew he felt he was doing their will.

He then began Minting Currencies with Hercules, this is a High Level of Understabding. This is not a Cave Man or a Barbarian, this is a highly advanced individual who is able to Form a Nation without his own Nation around him, he is not sent like Christopher Columbus to the United States under the Crown, Hannibal was the Crown of New Carthage, and had the ability to Mint a Currency to back that up, and to then train Tribal Warriors into a Cohesive Unit, with the Currency as part of that. This is a highly highly capable individual.

He then lays siege on a Roman ally who is within the 1st Punic War's Treaty with Rome, and after he takes the City they send a Diplomat to ask Carthage to send Hannibal as a Prisoner, they say:

"No"

Likely no different than Hamiclar fighting back the White Scourge, they couldn't let this highly advanced mind fall into the hands of the White Zeus lineage, can you imagine
if Hannibal had been like Polybius? Homer means "Hostage".

The Roman then says,

"I hold in the folds of my Toga Peace, or War, which will you have?"

They go off to discuss, when they come back they say,

"You pick"

The Romans chose War, and Hannibal goes to stop them. He then retires to Italy afterwards. If Rome wanted their Prisoner, they should have just taken him, but they were not capable.

This is Fate, he looks back and the Gods say "Dont worry about what we are doing"

Hannibal was a faithful worshiper of Melqart: the Roman historian Livy records the legend that just before setting off on his march to Italy he made a pilgrimage to Gades, the most ancient seat of Phoenician worship in the west. Hannibal strengthened himself spiritually by prayer and sacrifice at the Altar of Melqart. He returned to New Carthage with his mind focused on the god and on the eve of departure to Italy he saw a strange vision which he believed was sent by Melqart.[10]

A youth of divine beauty appeared to Hannibal in the night. The youth told Hannibal he had been sent by supreme deity, Jupiter, to guide the son of Hamilcar to Italy. “Follow me,” said the ghostly visitor, “and see that that thou look not behind thee.” Hannibal followed the instructions of the visitor. His curiosity, however, overcame him, and as he turned his head, Hannibal saw a serpent crashing through forest and thicket causing destruction everywhere. It moved as a black tempest with claps of thunder and flashes of lightning gathered behind the serpent. When Hannibal asked the meaning of the vision the being replied, “What thou beholdest is the desolation of Italy. Follow thy star and inquire no farther into the dark counsels of heaven.”

Carthage lost the War, and Carthage was destroyed, because the Mago family, another Member of the Counsel of Families which ran Carthage, disagreed with the Barcas (Hannibal's family), and convinced the Counsel to let him fight Rome himself, which he did and ruled Italy for 15 years.

DeFi is still more like a failed experiment, 80% of DeFi projects are unreliable, they have weak security and they are more hack friendly, they claim to be decentralized but instead they aren't showing any decentralized motives, the only DeFi projects I trust are not up to five and I choose those DeFi projects because they are more than just DeFi like many new DeFi projects so far, I don't care much about where DeFi is headed, I'm just going to keep picking the good eggs out from the bad eggs, hopeful in future DeFi projects will actually become fully decentralized and more secured

Very True, there are lot of scams in DEFIs but there are many Legit projects like PANCAKESWAP and JULSWAP and many more  where Investors have booked passive as well as capital appreciation benefits so we need to be vigilant and good in Cherry picking. DEFI is new form of Industry in crypto space and has successfully attracted Billions of Dollars during the past one year. I think this industry will survive though profitability may decline but still they will continue rewarding their Investors better  than conventional Banks.

[Tokenista]

I am going to explain to everyone how the Crypto Markets work.

First, you have the Number of Coins, the people Mining and Earning Coins, listing them, this is the Sell Wall, any discussion of raising the price is about "Eating the Sell Wall", which is why HODL (Hold on for Dear Life) is so important, if we HODL, and not Sell. The Market stays upwards.

A Coin on the Market acts like a weight on the price, if I HODL my coin it is gone, it is in a Wallet, maybe Cold Storage or a DeFi contract. A HODL'd Coin is kept off the Market, not for Sale. If everyone has their coins for Sale at $1.00, and I see them there and want to sell mine right away, maybe I have to mess everything up and sell to the $0.50 buyer.

That is the Buy Wall,
Most people come into a Market looking to Buy Coins then and there, and usually this is great. If 10,000,000 show up to spend $100 each for Christmas, they Buy up the cheap Sell Wall Coins, then they keep Buying. They Buy, Buy, Buy and the price goes up, all these new people looking for coins here and now send it up, say it is at $5.00

Now,
If you want to by kind of Shysty, or Bearish, Safe, etc, you could set your Buy orders at $1.50 while this is happening, and maybe later it stabilizes and you get that, or a Miner comes to dump coins to Buy Family Christmas gifts, and they drop $50,000 in $5.00 coins, buy as they do the Buy Orders run out, so it goes to $4.50, $4.00, etc. Some people do this on purpose just to scare you, if you bought a $5.00 and it goes to $3.00 you might sell at a loss and go home crying, but that Bear Whale buys them up and lists them all for Sale at $6.00, able to do so because he saw all the people coming in.

So then there is the Buy Wall,

The Buy Wall is much more important than the Sell Wall. You need "Buy Support", to keep a Buy Wall. Some Coins have no Buyers, but if your Coin has an Environment like Steemit, BLURT or HIVE, or an ETH Discord Token Bot,
People will Buy the Coin to earn more Coins, or to Unlock things. That is Buy Support.

Buy Support also ensures that when the price goes down you have a Team of Bears who use your Currency so they see down price days and weeks, as Buy Time.

This then gets in to Dolphins, Whales, etc, and having lots of people HODLing a Currency in Community together. Just as an example of Buy Support, if Justin Sun made the Steemit Wallet integrated completely with TRON Link with DEX and Swap of TRC20/10 on Steemit. That's Buy Support

If he could get Alibaba (like Bitpay) to support the Steemit Wallet, the STEEM/TRX Environment could be #1

[Tokenista]

In like a week or so, I will show everyone how to use Bounty0x to Distribute TRC10 Tokens.

Ours is PUCO
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5289188.0

I will also show everyone how to use Token Distributor Tools, and start making a list of TRON wallets so we can all drop new Tokens in those wallets. And as new people come take the list and add, all the originals will be in various lists. Plus, those with Old Coins can help the new ones.

[Tokenista]

If anyone is on Steemit, check your PUTI balance
https://steem-engine.net/?p=market&t=PUTI

Soon, we will be making the Ethereum Clone and a Hive-Engine Scot Bot DTube Clone Token hosted on PunicWax.com, while we start Mining Pools hosted there also. From there we will start doing ERC20, TRC20 and whatever the ERC20 on our chain are called. And STEEM/HIVE Bots, including Token Pegged Tokens for cross chain Swaps, Pegged Tokens are Swap scripts basically, just without the Swap Interface.

Then there are lots more after that.

[Tokenista]

This is what I'm about to do

Ethereum is easier than all the other ways

How to Clone PeerCoin

Obtaining and Running Graphene

Graphene is Open Source software available on GitHub. The root repository may be found at the Cryptonomex site. There are three projects to be cloned: graphene, graphene-ui, and fc. OCI’s GitHub page includes forks of graphene and graphene-ui, which serve as our research base repository. You may clone OCI’s copy of graphene by visiting https://github.com/objectcomputing/graphene and https://github.com/objectcomputing/graphene-ui
Comprehensive build and deploy instructions for both kits are included in their respective Readme.md file.

Graphene ships with three executables: the witness_node, cli_wallet, and genesis_util. Once built, you can try running a witness node. Note this example shows how to run the witness node with command line options. 

Code:

dhcp19:graphene phil$ cd programs/witness_node

Bitshares was the first Coin to do Tokens, and the Bitshares Tokens are called User Issued Assets (UIAs). The OpenLedger Platform is a Decentralized Exchange Platform, where Nodes are held open by people who are Voted for. So no single person or Company really operates it, it exists on a Blockchain.



Here is OpenLedger
https://openledger.info/

Here is the Cryptofresh Blockchain Explorer, which keeps track of the Transactions on OpenLedger.
http://cryptofresh.com/

All of that is on the Blockchain.

Here is the OpenLedger Github Repo
https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-core

Bitshares UI
https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-ui

So, that is the Smart Contracts and the Exchange.

Now, more recently Steemit was made. Which is like OpenLedger, but Social. And it is like Reddit, where you can Vote.

The Bottom 2 Sections here explain creating a New Graphene Blockchain with a new Genesis Block

https://objectcomputing.com/resources/publications/sett/march-2017-graphene-an-open-source-blockchain/

Steemit is a Reddit Clone, and is limited in that fact. Of all the Social Media Websites on the Internet, Reddit is not really the best example. Reddit is almost secondary. Everyone is either on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, or all of them. But Reddit is Secondary, like YouTube.

Steemit would do much better as a YouTube platform, where videos are uploaded and earn money, instead of Blogs. We will be launching a YouTube Graphene Clone eventually if someone else doesn’t.

That explains Steemit on a superficial level. I am not saying that Steemit is a failure, I am saying that it would be better if there were a YouTube version.

So secondly, Steemit is a platoform connected to a Coin. There is a backend to Steemit, called Steemd, and you can look at Steemd, just google it. And there are other things, like Blocktrades, which actually connects Steemit and Bitshares. The coin called STEEM, is a DPoWS, which stands for Delegated Proof of Work and Stake.

So let me explain what Delegated Proof of Work and Stake means:

Proof of Work is like Bitcoin and Litecoin and Dogecoin, where everyone Mines with Mining Machines.

Proof of Stake is like Temple Coin or PeerCoin or various other Coins. The way Proof of Stake Works in Steemit, is that anyone that has Coins, has Coins that gain value. And they gain value at a very very high rate the first year or something, then they don’t gain as much after that. And you get coins via Proof of Work, or via Delegated Votes on your Steemit posts, which awards you STEEM from the Blockchain.

Delegated means that the Proof of Work is Voted on, this is done through the “Witness” system. And any Computer or Server or Laptop or anything can be a Node and be a Witness. And Witnesses have the Obligation to Hold Open Nodes, and Mine Coins, which processes transactions and keeps the Blockchain moving. And they get a lot of Coins out of that. Delegated also applies to the Voting on Posts. On Steemit, you get paid when you get Votes, you get paid for Voting (more for posts that end up being popular and you voted early), and you can get votes on your Comments on Steemit. So the Delegated part is important to Steemit.

Here is the Witness page on Steemit
https://steemit.com/~witnesses

Witnesses are secretly very important to Steemit, and anyone can become one by being voted for, but they don’t advertise that because they don’t want to get taken over.

So that is the basics of how Steemit works.

Once you have Bitshares and Bitshares UI donwloaded, here is what you are supposed to do

Programming with Graphene

The basic API for Graphene is based on remote procedure calls. The specific functions available depend on the terms of the contracts, defined by a particular blockchain instance. A common authentication module is accessed first through the login API. After authenticating, the client application is able to gather other remote object references and make calls to them.

The FC library is used to manage the transport details, allowing the nodes to accept a variety of transport protocols. As currently delivered, the witness_node application is configured to accept HTTP formatted requests. From a C++ application, the Graphene apps library and FC library work together to provide a simple programming model for such access.

Here is an example, taken from the cli_wallet application, showing how to connect to the node server, log in, and make additional calls.

Code:

          fc::http::websocket_client client;
          idump((wdata.ws_server));
          auto con  = client.connect( wdata.ws_server );
          auto apic = std::make_shared<fc::rpc::websocket_api_connection>(*con);
     
          auto remote_api = apic->get_remote_api< login_api >(1);
          edump((wdata.ws_user)(wdata.ws_password) );
          // TODO:  Error message here
          FC_ASSERT( remote_api->login( wdata.ws_user, wdata.ws_password ) );
     
          auto wapiptr = std::make_shared<wallet_api>( wdata, remote_api );
          wapiptr->set_wallet_filename( wallet_file.generic_string() );
          wapiptr->load_wallet_file();
     
          fc::api<wallet_api> wapi(wapiptr);
     
          auto wallet_cli = std::make_shared<fc::rpc::cli>();
          for( auto& name_formatter : wapiptr->get_result_formatters() )
             wallet_cli->format_result( name_formatter.first, name_formatter.second );

Without getting too deep, what is shown here is that wdata is some collection of initialization information collected from the command line, config files, etc. This is then used to create a client connection, log in (asserting that it was successful), creating an instance of the wallet API that communicates through the authenticated reference to make further calls.

The IOTA Whitepaper
https://iota.org/IOTA_Whitepaper.pdf

People have not started to grasp and appreciate the fact that IOTA has got rid of miners. In IOTA, the transaction issuers are also transaction approvers and these two parties are no longer decoupled as in Bitcoin and Ethereum which use miners as the transactions approvers. This will bring a huge advantage for IOTA.

IOTA compared to Blockchain
https://ukcryptocurrency.com/iota/tangle-vs-blockchain/

IOTA is based on a directed acyclic graph (DAG) aka the Tangle, not a Blockchain
IOTA has no mining, no blocks, no difficulty
IOTA has no transaction fees
IOTA scales almost infinitely, unlike Blockchains
IOTA is not solely made as a currency but as an interoperability protocol that solves the problems of the IoT
IOTA wants to enable the machine economy
IOTA is lead by the IOTA Foundation, an NGO registered in Germany (approx. Oct. 2017)

[RussianEnglishTranslation]

Everyone who knows about DeFi, knows about Unicorn Token, and UniSwap, and probably Compound.

These are Ethereum ERC20 Token Smart Contracts, and there is another half to it, TRON TRC20 Token. The TRC20 is Free to make, and allows you to copy and part your ERC20 Solidity contracts into TronScan with just a few changes like your wallet address. TRON copied UniSwap and made JustSwap.

So, TRON and ETH are the main platforms, and there are currently several places to list your ERC20 Tokens on a DEX manually, but the ERC20 bar to entry is a little higher since it is not Free.

And yesterday, TRON put TRX in the Steemit wallet, so now there is a TRON Link Wallet in your Steemit account.

This means soon Steemit will be a place to not only earn money, but launch a Token. And people may think "doesn't Steem-Engine have Tokens? Aren't there SMTs?".

But I would ask anyone who does not understand this, to look at Bitshares Assets, found on the Cryptofresh Website by Googling Cryptofresh Assets.

Those Cryptofresh Assets were being traded by the Original Steemit Witnesses in 2016.

Bitshares Assets cost about 1 BTC to make, Steem-Engine Tokens require you to use KeyChain, and buy ENG, etc, it is not straightforward for a new person, and neither is ERC20. But TRC10 is.

TRC20 are Free unlike ERC20 (both are the same and Devs can copy each others code)

So now we will likely see hundreds of people launching TRC10s on Steemit, and building TRC20 Smart Contracts which interact with Steemit. TRC20 Steemit rewards Bots, etc.

So now DeFi has a Source of Income, as Steemit is one of the only places a Cryptocurrency is rewarded for real world effort, and is how most normal people understand "earning". So there is now a layer of Finance that wasn't there before.

DeFi now does Social Media.
DeFi will now not just be Discussed on Social Media, but is part of Social Media.

Currently DeFi is for ETH Miners, Maker DAI users, Bitshares groupies, and Bitcoin foundation types. So, really nobody.

Now, we will start seeing regular people, and even people in 3rd World Poverty, able to reach into DeFi.

Mixing Steemit and TRON Link also brings Poloni DEX and JustSwap to Steemit, which is again similar to but better than Steem-Engine. We are about to see a whole new way to look at Cryptocurrency apart from its "Digital Gold" image it currently holds with Bitcoin, and we are about to see everyone start to get involved. And TRON is just doing this first, there will be plenty more.

TRON and STEEM are both not a new Token. Not like UniSwap or JustSwap are each on a chain, these are now 2 Blockchains with different uses, coming together in the Wallet. One of which has dApps that live in the wallet.

I've heard that steemit has been broken for a long time. I tried to sign up over two years ago and it didn't even let me join. TRON promised a bridge to Ethereum so projects could trade cheaper on TRON but it never launched. Instead billions of dollars and ERC20 projects like 0xMR and BAT moved to Binance Smart Chain and are now traded there for lower fees.

I'm going to show everyone what to do soon. Steemit was purchased by the Prodigie of Jack Ma of Alibaba fame. So Justin Sun made TRON, right, it's a Java Fork of an early version of ETH, so just ETH is Java. He then bought Steemit.

So, Steemit and TRON are merged.

What you want to do is make a Scot Bot, we will be making several Scot Bots on Steemit and Hive for people to use and practice and learn with, as well as Cross Chain Tokens, a.k.a Pegged Tokens.

Then, we will drive Audience to these with Bounty Tokens, people will Earn for talking about our Announcements, and Earn for posting some of your own Posts on your Social Media, for example, maybe we say "Write a post on our Scot Bot and share the Link on your FB, Twitter, etc, and Earn X# Tokens for each screenshot on a new platform".

As well as having Mining Pools, Witnesses, an Ethereum Clone, etc. And eventually a Bitcoin Clone, Litecoin, Cryptonote, then instead of a Scot Bot our own whole Graphene Clone.

You can also do this, we will also be on BLURT which is just like Steemit and Hive, BLURT is SocialGraph, who intend to make a Turnkey Graphene Forker using BLURT Snapshots for Token amounts. So everyone can make a Graphene chain, and we will make lots of Tokens.

Then,
Since TRON has TRC10 and TRC20 you can do those, launch them on Steemit, and earn TRX on Steemit as well as on TRONLink, so basically use Steemit to support a TRC Token.

Interesting,,, not really my thing but I heard some people from my old Steemit group (who are now all Hive) talk about exactly like this things. TRON bridge to ETH never launched exactly and now everyone is going to BSC because they are very fast in devt,,, but I think time will tell who was right and who was wrong (although very hard for TRON to convince the naysayers now!).

You don't have to choose, why not do all the other ones, then talk about them on Steemit to earn money. And start a TRC or Scot Bot Token.

Last I looked SBD was $9.00, last I traded it was $5.00. But if you get a $5.00 post, something like 50% of that is SBD, so if you have 2.5 SBD it is more like $20. And STEEM is like $1.20 or around there. STEEM was like $0.15 recently and was for a long time before that, it's not going back there probably.

Now is a good time to buy cheap and set up SteemAuto to follow a Curation Trail. I will write about Auto Bots and Curation Trails tomorrow or tonight.

[Tokenista]

I am going to go through a few concepts here so everyone can understand and have the information to share.

Steemit is like Reddit with upvoting that then correlates to payments off the Blockchain, no Tips or Lottery, etc, you get paid based on the upvoting Algorithms.

So,
In order to get the best rewards, you need to have lots of STEEM in your Wallet (this is also exactly how HIVE and BLURT work) the more STEEM you have the more your Vote is worth, and when you Vote you actually earn like 10%-50% of your vote into your Wallet, so as you Vote to give other people money you get a return. Then you also get paid based on Votes you receive, based on what is in the Wallets of those voting for your posts.

You can boost this by creating a group, or a DTube Clone Scot Bot, so people will be posting and Voting in a place hosted by you, and using Tokens that benefit you and them, you can also talk about your Token to those people on Steemit.

Then, you can Join Curation Trails on SteemAuto, SteemAuto is a Bot where you enter in your password, then click to allow it to collect your rewards so that any STEEM you earn goes in your wallet, this way your STEEM Power goes up without you having to pay attention.

SteemAuto also allows you to set up a Curation Trail, first start by setting your Minimum Vote Power to 80 or 90 so you don't lose your voting power down to 0% as the Bot runs your account, if your Vote Power goes to 50% or 25%, your Rewards for yourself and the receiver of the Vote go down that amount also. You Join a Curation Trail, and set it to be like 15-45 minutes late after the Trail Leader (Primary Voter? I'm not sure what the word is), part of the Algorithm is that your Vote is worth more after a certain time and after a number of awards have already accumulated.

You can follow more than 1, and you are better off with the 80-90% limit.

You then can also create a Curation Trail, invite other people to follow and they will follow you. This is better with an account with a high vote Weight, because the more your vote is worth, the better it is for people to Vote after you.

There is also then the Dr. Otto Bot, which you put on an account but it is more complex as you have to Clone it from Github and run a script. But it is a Bid Bot, so people send 0.001 or 0.01 STEEM and they are then part of a Lottery where they might get a Vote, and it chooses every 3 minutes, so unless there is a lot of people using it everyone can get a Vote.

This works best with an account that has lots of STEEM.

There also used to be an Algorithm Bot with sliders for you to set the values yourself, and you would say what Percentile of Awards you Vote on. So if a post has like less earnings that 60% of posts, your bot wouldn't vote, it votes on the top 40 Percentile, or maybe 30 or 10 Percentile, then a Timer, maybe it only votes on posts for 24 or 48 hrs, because after that the Voting Algorithm lowers. But that bot does not work anymore, or moved to HIVE.

Then were was a bot Voting on Comments, I forget what he was called but he ended up being very valuable to everyone.

And you may wonder, "Why is it hard to earn a good amount of STEEM?" or "Why has STEEM price been so low for so long until recently?", once there is a big flourishing community of well funded Bots and Curation Trails, like even 5-10% of Twitter or Facebook numbers, it would be a more valuable community than Bitcoin. The HIVE split after Justin Sun bought Steemit, lowered the numbers to today's.
