Share this: About The Author Scott DeLeeuw	Is speed and cadence on a stationary bike adequate for Zwift? A real world test - Zwift Insider Is speed and cadence on a stationary bike adequate for Zwift? A real world test Posted by Scott DeLeeuw \| Oct 21, 2020 \| Trainers \| 52 Author’s note: A stationary indoor bike will be accurate in Zwift with a power meter. This article is about comparing a “spin bike” (which is a trademarked term) with a power meter to the same bike with a simple speed/cadence sensor. From time to time I see questions on using a stationary bike in Zwift. More often than not, the advice given is “grab a cadence and speed sensor and you are good to go”. The well-intentioned suggestion utilizes the option Zwift provides of using a speed and cadence sensor with a non-smart classic trainer. Essentially Zwift has tested certain non-smart classic trainers and those supported trainers have a lookup table in Zwift. Basically. for X speed, you’re doing X watts. It’s a power curve table. For Unlisted/Untested trainers they have another lookup table, but probably based more on averages that may or may not be accurate. There’s a lot more to it, but I’ll invite you to read the excellent Zwift Insider post about virtual power vs going over it here again. The Challenge with Stationary Bikes Connecting a stationary bike as a trainer on Zwift can be a problem, though. Here’s why: a trainer has a set resistance (the pressure of the roller on the back wheel) and your speed increases with your wattage via gear changes and cadence, whereas a stationary bike has speed that is dependent only on cadence (no gears). You can change resistance manually with a knob, but if you maintain the same cadence, you will maintain the same speed and thus, the same Zwift estimated power, regardless of where the resistance knob is set . To put that a different way, as long as you pedal at the same cadence on a stationary bike, your flywheel will spin at the same given speed. The way you increase the wattage on a stationary bike is by putting resistance on the flywheel, resulting in more wattage to keep the flywheel going at the same speed. It’s worth mentioning here that resistance on a classic trainer can also be highly variable depending on how tight or loose the roller is against the tire. Classic trainers have to have the roller tightened against the wheel to the trainer’s spec in order to be anywhere near accurate in terms of wattage. So it can basically be as variable as a stationary bike would be, although you can’t just reach down and tweak it on the fly. Anyone who has experimented with that knows that the looser a wheel is against the roller, the higher the reported watts will be, and vice versa. Hence the reason proper tightening is so crucial. Back to the stationary bike. When Zwift is estimating power solely by a speed and cadence sensor and knows nothing about the resistance knob, that estimated power number will be wrong. It will be wrong because it’s missing an enormous part of the equation, the resistance, something it knows for a trainer, but can not know on a stationary bike. Spindown for Stationary Bikes How could Zwift know resistance and have accurate zPower with a stationary bike? The only way I can theorize it working is to have a spindown test within Zwift. Set the stationary bike resistance to where you want to ride, do a spindown to determine resistance, then keep the resistance at that setting the entire ride, using only cadence to make changes in power. Not a great way to ride, and Zwift would also need to know the stationary bike gear ratio (or use the speed which the stationary bike displays) for its calculations. Testing Stationary Bike Power Accuracy Enough explanation, let’s see it in practice. To illustrate why a stationary bike isn’t accurate in the Not Listed trainer setting, I set up a few testing scenarios. I set up a single Freemotion stationary bike with a Stages power meter and a Wahoo speed sensor. I then set up two Zwift sessions, with exactly the same height, weight, bike, wheels, gender, FTP, etc. I paired the speed sensor, HR sensor, and cadence sensor to one session via ANT+. I then paired the power meter, the same HR sensor and the same cadence sensor to the other session via Bluetooth. The same pedalling effort would go into both sessions, power would just be output via different sensors. To put this into a visual format: Session 1 Session 2 Name Harry Legz Scott DeLeeuw Stationary bike Freemotion s11.6 Freemotion s11.6 In-game bike Zwift carbon w/ 32mm carbon wheels Zwift carbon w/ 32mm carbon wheels FTP 197 197 Gender Male Male Height 5’ 10” 5’ 10” Weight 177 lbs. 177 lbs. Cadence input Stages power meter Stages power meter Heart rate input Scosche Rhythm+ Scosche Rhythm+ Power input Wahoo speed sensor, “Not Listed” trainer, 20” wheel setting Stages power meter Connection format ANT+ Bluetooth Note: the FTP setting was lowered to see if either of the tests would result in an FTP gain that wasn’t warranted. For the first test I set up a MeetUp on Watopia Flat between myself and my identical twin nemesis Harry Legz. I configured the MeetUp to include only the two of us so variables like drafting did not come into play. My first test was a cadence test. I would do 2 minutes with no resistance at all at 70 rpm, 80 rpm, 90rpm, and 100rpm. Then I would repeat these same 70, 80, 90, and 100 rpm tests, but with about 130W of resistance on the knob. The graph below shows the comparison. Cadence was the same as they were coming from the same sensor: No resistance No resistance 130W (ish) actual power * 130W (ish) actual power * Speed sensor zPower Power meter Speed sensor zPower Power meter 70 rpm wattage 130W 41W 128W 134W 80 rpm wattage 174W 51W 170W 136W 90 rpm wattage 209W 61W 213W 135W 100 rpm wattage 276W 54W 270W 124W * Note: I adjusted the resistance knob on each cadence change to maintain 130W (ish) via the power meter reading. When I turned the stationary bike’s resistance knob to around 130W (ish) actual power, the results were pretty much exactly the same for the estimated power coming from the speed sensor as they were during the no resistance test. This is expected since the cadence was the same as the first part of the test, and if the cadence is the same, the speed will stay the same. The graph below shows the data comparison visually. One interesting observation on the no resistance test: true wattage actually went down at 100 RPM. Since the watts are measured with a crank power meter, my take on that is the momentum of the flywheel started to take over, pulling the pedal through. I was pedaling faster, but softer. As you can see, there is a very large discrepancy in actual power vs estimated power, over 200W at some points in the graph, but what did it do for the ride stats? Watopia Flat Route, ride time 23 min 24 sec Speed sensor zPower Power meter Distance 5.48 miles 4.03 miles Avg Power 195W 75W Max Power 400W 162W Avg Speed 20.1 mph 14.8 mph Max Speed 30.5 mph 23.8 mph For the very same pedaling effort, the speed sensor rider covered a mile and a half additional distance in just 23 minutes! That is almost 30% more! Just for fun I also tested what would “MAX” out the 400W estimated power on the stationary bike. That happened around 115rpm. As long as I maintained 115 rpm, regardless of resistance, I would peg 400W in my Harry Legz session. (It’s worth noting that I could do 400 estimated zPower watts at around 50W of actual power, if the resistance was dialed down on the stationary bike.) The cadence test is all fine and dandy, but I wanted to see what difference this made during an actual ride. Maybe one with an interval workout incorporated into it to see actual larger power hills and valleys and how they would track between both setups. Once again I set up a single Freemotion stationary bike with a Stages power meter and a Wahoo speed sensor, then rain two parallel Zwift sessions just like the first test. For the actual ride I set up a one hour MeetUp on the 5.7 mile Watopia Hilly Route for the two sessions. I set the MeetUp to include only the two of us so variables like drafting did not come into play. This was my ride format: 20 min warm-up 5 min at 190 (ish) watts 5 min rest 5 min at 190 (ish) watts 5 min rest 5 min at 190 (ish) watts 5 min rest 10 min cooldown The result of this match-up? Remember this is input from one bike. My nemesis Harry Legz lapped me on Zwift KOM just as I was starting lap 3 of Hilly Route, rocketing past me at the finish banner. He also took second fastest time (I honestly felt bad about that) on Hilly Route. At the end of the ride/workout, he received a nice fat FTP gain, despite only about 15 minutes of a moderate 190W effort. Let’s look at the data. Watopia Hilly Route, ride time 1 hour Speed sensor zPower Power meter Distance 21.73 miles 15.11 miles Avg Power 254W 132W Max Power 400W 264W Avg Speed 21.4 mph 15.0 mph Max Speed 38.7 mph 36.1 mph KOM time during 110W 90rpm warmup 3:29.16 6:52.69 Villa sprint time during 110W 90rpm warmup 34.22 sec 44.76 sec While these numbers look dramatic, the graph of the power difference looks even more dramatic: This graph does look more interesting at first glance than I thought it would. zPower is about 100-200W high as before, but the power curves parallel each other more than I first expected until I really analyzed the data. Why is that? If you notice the cadence line I was soft pedaling at around 90 or so rpm for the warmup, rest intervals and cooldown. During the intervals themselves my cadence would go higher to 100-105 rpm. Since zPower is being estimated by speed, which is directly related to cadence on a fixed gear stationary bike, this makes perfect sense. A jump in 10rpm made a massive difference in zPower because it was making a big jump in flywheel speed. It was simply a coincidence that my higher true power was done at a higher cadence and that higher cadence gave a higher zPower number. Searching for Sweet Spot Discerning Zwifters may wonder if there’s a “sweet spot” on the stationary bike’s resistance knob where zPower and true power converge across a usable cadence range (say, 70-100RPM). Or to put it simply: can we make the zPower number be close to accurate on a stationary bike? The answer is: not really. Not without actively varying the resistance knob, and having a power meter to check your accuracy. (Of course, if you have a power meter, you don’t need a speed or cadence sensor or zPower anyway.) On my first cadence test when I had 130W of resistance on the flywheel and was pedaling at 70rpm, the numbers were nearly identical. On the second test, if I had maintained about 85rpm in my 190W intervals power would have tracked closely. I could have also cranked up the resistance to 400w and spun at 115rpm (for the whole minute I could maintain that). But without a power meter I would have been guessing that the numbers lined up and inevitably what would happen is you’d loosen the resistance knob and drop actual power, but zPower would stay at 400W since your cadence isn’t changing. Conclusions So there you have it. I had fun doing this test. It might seem pointless, but I wanted some real world data for when the suggestion is thrown out to just use a speed and cadence sensor with the Not Listed trainer setting on a stationary bike. Seeing this data I don’t think it’s a good idea. I get that it’s inexpensive and not everyone has the money for a power meter, but you are missing the resistance part of the estimated zPower equation. Because of that, the power estimates are at best a guess, and a bad one at that. None of this is to say a stationary bike is a bad idea for Zwift, a stationary bike can be a GREAT tool for Zwift. If you have multiple riders in the family, or just want the simplicity of hopping on and riding, a stationary bike may just be the ticket. But please reconsider the incorrect speed and cadence route and set it up with a power meter such as a Stages crank or power pedals like the Assioma UNOs . There are inexpensive options if you look around. I agree with the purists when they say a stationary bike won’t get resistance changes from Zwift, but Zwift will use the power you are putting into the bike to adjust your speed up and down in the game, the same as if you were riding a bike outside that dynamically adjusted gears to keep your cadence the same as you hit uphills and downhills. Stationary bike or smart trainer, the true power you put into your pedals is what determines your speed in the game, the gradient feel is icing on the cake. I wrote another article about an inexpensive stationary bike setup that will work with Zwift that can save some cash over the long haul. I found my entire stationary bike, with power meter, for $200. If you are thinking about going that route, it’s worth taking a look. Cadence and speed sensors on a stationary bike – summary Pros: Inexpensive Can do rides and give Ride Ons Breaks up the monotony of indoor training Could be a gateway to a great Zwift future Cons: Not what Zwift intended with the speed and cadence option Isn’t accurate, missing the resistance part of the equation Not useful for personal fitness improvement measurements since zPower is only tied to cadence/speed, not how many watts you are actually producing Can not do training plans as power targets are only tied to cadence/speed, not resistance Will be very disheartening if you ever go to a power meter or smart trainer Questions or Comments?

Keep in mind that I am NOT a reviewer. I am a Zwift user and a Zwift researcher. Although I suggest products, there are many equivalent products out there that work just as well. With that out of the way, here is a list of “stuff” you need to Zwift smoothly in incredible 4K resolution. The Main Stuff Gaming Computer Since Zwift is a video game, like Call of Duty or Madden NFL 17, the best Zwift experience starts with a powerful gaming computer. Forget your beloved Mac… this is strictly Windows PC territory. I’ve been a Mac guy my whole life but they are way too expensive and have lousy gaming specs. Below are the tech specs your Zwift gaming computer should have in order to be fast today and relevant three years from today: The CPU . The CPU is the brains of the computer and a great Zwift experience demands a fast brain. Although Intel’s i5 CPU’s run Zwift well, for a few dollars more it pays to get Intel’s latest and fastest high performance CPU…the 4.2 GHz i7 CPU (model 7700K). The GPU. In order to play Zwift smoothly at 4K resolution, your computer needs a powerful GPU to run the graphics. Although the NVIDIA 1060 GPU runs Zwift nicely, you should future protect yourself with the much faster 1070 GPU or the lightning fast 1080 GPU. Hard Drives. There are two kinds of hard drives; Solid State Drives (SSD’s) and traditional spinning hard drives (HDD’s). SSD’s have no moving parts and are faster while HDD’s are cheaper and hold more storage. Although I strongly prefer SSD’s, your computer will likely come with both.A few important hard drive notes: Buy a computer with Windows pre-installed on the SSD for much faster speed and startup. Install Zwift on the SSD for much faster speed. If you’re using the computer for other programs and games besides Zwift, get an SSD with at least 256GB or ditch the HDD and buy a second SSD. It’s not difficult to replace a hard drive yourself. Memory. The more memory (RAM) your computer has, the more stuff that can fit inside the computer’s super-fast brain as opposed to having to retrieve it from a much slower hard drive. Although memory is easy to upgrade and 8GB of RAM works fine in Zwift, get at least 16GB and forget about it. There are many PC gaming systems out there but if you want a name brand computer, the Dell Alienware Aurora series is a good place to start. The Dell costs about $1,800 for the Intel 7700K CPU, NVIDIA 1070 GPU, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD and 16GB of RAM. For $1,500, B&H sells a CyberpowerPC with same specs except with a 128GB SSD. Both are excellent Zwifting machines. If you want a top of the line gaming computer, B&H sells a $2,000 CyberpowerPC with the Intel 7700K CPU, NVIDIA 1080 GPU, 512GB SSD, 3TB HDD and 32GB of RAM. Although not inexpensive, it is a very good deal. TV Even if you have a great gaming computer, your Zwift experience won’t be all it can be if you don’t have the right TV. Below are the two most important specs when buying a flat screen TV for Zwift. Resolution. The more pixels a TV can handle, the better the picture quality and the more detail you will see. Since Zwift can run in amazing 4K resolution, you’ll want to get a 4K TV. Refresh Rate . Measured in frames per second (fps) or Hertz (Hz), the refresh rate is the number of times the TV changes the image. The higher the refresh rate, the smoother games like Zwift play. Most smaller and lower priced 4K TV’s have a refresh rate of 60 fps (or 60Hz) while some of the larger, more expensive TV’s have a refresh rate of 120 fps (or 120Hz). Zwift looks just fine at 60 fps, so if you want to save money, go ahead and get a 60Hz TV. Warning! Very few TV companies disclose the actual refresh rate which is what matters for Zwift. Using a tech trick, most TV companies use marketing names such as “Motion Rate”, “Tru Motion” or “Image Motion” to make consumers think their TV’s have a higher refresh rate than they do. As a general rule, but not always, the actual refresh rate is half of the manufacturers claimed “motion rate.” If you can afford it, buy the biggest 120Hz TV your pain cave can fit so long as you aren’t Zwifting too close to the TV. Although most 4K TV’s are excellent, I’m very happy with the 43” Samsung KU6300 4K Smart TV which sells for $500. It’s only a 60Hz TV, but it runs Zwift very smoothly. Smart Trainer Until an all-in-one Zwift bike comes out, you’ll need to buy a smart trainer to put your bike on. Smart trainers wirelessly broadcast your cycling data to your computer via ANT+ or Bluetooth so Zwift can figure out how fast you are going. There are two types of smart trainers: wheel-drive and direct-drive. They are many differences but on a wheel-drive trainer the bike’s rear wheel stays on while on a direct-drive trainer the bike’s rear wheel comes off and the bike’s chain is attached to a cassette on the trainer. Although wheel-drive trainers work well and are less expensive, you should get a direct-drive trainer which is usually more durable, accurate, powerful and realistic. There are many reviews and discussions about which direct-drive smart trainer is the best but most agree that they all work well with Zwift. A popular choice is the $1,200 Wahoo Kickr which was updated this fall and is now quieter, more accurate and more responsive than the previous excellent model. Bike A good Zwift system should include a good Zwift bike. Your old 7-speed in the garage will work but it may be challenging getting up and down Zwift’s varied terrain. If you are in the market for a new Zwift bike, you certainly don’t need to break the bank but you’ll still want a quality bike that can handle the rigors of Zwifting on an indoor trainer. An aluminum 11-speed bike with Shimano 105 components will work beautifully both inside on Zwift and outside on the road. There are many great bikes out there but the Trek Emonda ALR-5 is an excellent choice at a fair price. A new 2017 Trek Emonda costs $1,679 but you may be able to pick up a new 2016 leftover for less. Stuff Nobody Tells You About Rear Cassette The rear cassette on your direct drive trainer makes a big difference in your Zwifting experience and should not be overlooked. Although the Wahoo Kickr comes with an 11-speed rear cassette, most of the other direct-drive trainers do not include one. If you have a 10 or 11 speed bike and need to buy a cassette, get one with 11-28 gearing which Amazon sells for $50. The 11-tooth gear will give you power while descending Box Hill, the 28-tooth big gear will help you to spin up Mount Zwift and the 11-28 range will be good for everything in between. Pedals and Bike Shoes Whether riding inside or outside, your bike should have clip-in pedals for maximum power throughout the entire pedal stroke. There are several types of pedals but the two most popular are the Look Keo and the Shimano SPD’s. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. The Look Keo’s are road biking pedals that have more surface area to transfer power but the compatible shoes and cleats are clumsy to walk in. Conversely, the Shimano SPD’s are mountain biking and spinning pedals that have less surface area but the compatible shoes and cleats are comfortable to walk in and easier to clip in and out of. If your Zwift bike stays indoors most of the time, get the SPD double sided pedals ($30) so you can comfortably walk around your house before and after your ride. If your Zwift bike is also your main outdoor road bike, get the Look Keo pedals ($50+) for better power transfer. Whatever pedals you get, you’ll need a pair of compatible bike shoes and cleats. For the SPD’s, I like the Shimano SH-R065 which Wiggle.com sells for about $50. For the Look Keo’s, there are many shoes out there at different price points so go to your local bike store and try on a few pair. Music Speaker Music can motivate you to Zwift harder. If your pain cave needs to be a quiet place for the benefit of your family or neighbors, get yourself a pair of in-ear wireless headphones. But if you can blast music, you’ll want a good speaker with various connecting options. There are so many great speakers out there but I love the Polk Woodbourne which Amazon sells for $449. With its very powerful 180-watt amplifier, the Polk easily fills your pain cave with distortion free music and connects to nearly every device via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Airplay (Apple devices), USB, and optical (TV). ANT+ USB Dongle ANT+ is a wireless technology that allows your smart trainer to talk to your computer and your computer to talk to Zwift. Your smart trainer is already ANT+ compatible but your computer isn’t so you’ll need to attach an ANT+ dongle ($20) to one of your computer’s USB ports. Keep in mind that you don’t need an ANT+ device if you’re Zwifting with an iOS device or Apple Computer which both connect via Bluetooth. Keyboard with USB Ports, Mouse and USB Extension Cable Although your computer likely won’t be close to your Zwift bike, you’ll still want a wired keyboard and mouse handy in order to log-in to Zwift, send texts, and change views. Although you can buy a wireless keyboard and mouse, they can be jittery and slow to respond and they shut down after a period of time to save battery. You’ll also want to move the ANT+ dongle from your computer to within 5 feet of your smart trainer to ensure a trouble-free connection. The best solution to get these devices from your computer to your Zwift bike is to buy a USB extension cable, a wired mouse and a wired keyboard with USB ports built-in to connect your mouse and ANT+ dongle. I like the AmazonBasics 10 ’ extension cable for $7, the AmazonBasics USB Wired mouse for $7 and the Perixx Keyboard with USB ports which Amazon sells for $20. Heart Rate Monitor You should always Zwift with a heart rate monitor to measure your effort. The Wahoo Tickr heart rate monitor ($50) works great and connects to Zwift via both ANT+ for your computer and Bluetooth for your iOS devices. The Tickr also works great with most power meters, sensors, and cycling computers. HDMI Cable 10-25’ In order to use your TV as a Zwift monitor, you’ll need to connect your computer to your TV via an HDMI cable. I like the AmazonBasics 25’ HDMI cable which Amazon sells for $13. Bike Mat You’ll want to put your bike and smart trainer on a heavy-duty mat in order to dampen vibration and noise, protect your floors and collect your sweat. The SuperMat, which Amazon sells for $27, is a thick, durable and tough mat. Fan You need a fan to keep you cool while Zwifting. I like the Lasko 18” Pedestal stand with remote which Target sells for $50. The Lasko is adjustable up to 54” high, oscillates, tilts and has three fan speeds which can be controlled by the remote. Many Zwifters also like the Vornado 630 which Amazon sells for $63. Desk You’ll probably want a desk near your Zwift bike for your keyboard, mouse, remotes, phone, gels and various other items. The Seville Classics Desk Cart with Side Table, which Amazon sells for $50, is adjustable, sturdy and easy to set up. Desk Organizer You may also want a desk organizer to keep your loose Zwift stuff and phone in one place. The ClearTech Acrylic Desk organizer, which Amazon sells for $12, fits on the Seville desk side table and holds your phone, tablet, headphones, gels, bike tools etc. iPad Desk Mount If you have a desk nearby, think about getting a desk mounted iPad holder. Even if you run Zwift on a computer, it’s nice to have your iPad’s big screen nearby for the Zwift Mobile App, your music collection or Netflix. The AboveTEK iPad Holder is a heavy duty, adjustable and easy to set up tablet mount that Amazon sells for $39. Phone Bike Mount Although you can keep your phone on your desk or in the desk organizer, you may want to mount it on your bike’s handlebars. Amazon recommends the Taotronics for $14. Corkboard If you have a wall near your Zwift bike, it’s not a bad idea to buy a corkboard for your Zwiftblog course maps, Zwift keyboard shortcuts and flags of the world. I have the Mead 24” x 18” corkboard which Walmart.com sells for $12. Prescription Glasses If you have trouble reading the Zwift data on your TV, you may want to invest in a dedicated pair of prescription glasses for Zwift. Goggles4U.com sells comfortable plastic prescription glasses or bifocals for about $35. The bifocals are great for seeing your TV at a distance and your cell phone close up on your bike. Get a pair of Croakie’s to hold the glasses in place and a couple of Halo 2 Headbands to keep the sweat off your glasses and you’ll be all set. Related Posts Share:	msmarco_doc_59_1042789906

Route Description Route profile by ZwiftHub – the place to plan and track your route achievements! This is the second-flattest route in all of Zwift as the time of its release, with 2.6 meters of climbing per kilometer of road. ( Tempus Fugit, the flattest, has .92m/km.) Beginning in Fuego Flats, your trip will be pan-flat until you exit Saddle Springs and descend through the Redwood Forest. This descent maxes out at 3% and brings you to the entrance of the ocean tube which is a short downhill ramp. You then proceed through the flat tube, hit the ramp up and out, then hang a right toward Fuego Flats. You’ve got just a bit of gradual climb toward the start line, but nothing more than most cyclists would call a “rise.” There are lots of landmarks on this route to make this visually interesting and help you keep your bearings. First you pass the cliff dwellings near the first turnaround loop, then you hit the forward 500m sprint segment. Next you’ll ride through the old town of Desert Flats (watch for the steam engine to come roaring through) then through a gap in the rocks to a hidden oasis complete with a waterfall and dinosaur fossils. Continue on and you’ll ride into Saddle Springs, the 1950’s-inspired resort town. This is where the Tempus Fugit route turns around, but for Tick Tock we continue through town and down into the Redwood Forest–the longest descent on the route, but it’s over before you know it! Cross the bridge to Ocean Boulevard, then descend into the ocean tunnel. When you exit the tunnel you’ll soon turn a right to cross another bridge toward the island containing Fuego Flats. Hit that 500m sprint segment once more, and the stone arch is your finish line.

Top 13 Tips for Beginner Zwifters - Zwift Insider Top 13 Tips for Beginner Zwifters Posted by Karissa Minn \| Aug 22, 2019 \| Getting Started \| 6 So you’ve installed Zwift, set up your trainer or treadmill, and paired your devices. Now it’s time to get moving! Here are some tips that will help you make the most of Zwift as a beginner. 1. Get ready ahead of time. Make sure everything is within arm’s reach before your ride, your water bottles are filled, your batteries are charged, and your Zwift client is updated. Sure, you’re at home, so anything you need is a short walk away. But when you’re doing a race or you really don’t want to lose a group, a little preparation can save you a big headache. Some Zwifters even use a pre-ride checklist to make sure nothing is forgotten. Pro tip: if you’re using ANT+ to connect to your devices, you can help prevent signal dropouts by using a USB extension cable to bring the ANT+ dongle closer to your bike. 2. Use a fan. Or two. Even if the temperature is cool, if the air is still, you’re not getting the benefit of evaporative cooling. A small, enclosed training space also can heat up pretty quickly! If you get too cold during warmups and cooldowns, try beginning your ride with a jacket or find a way to control your fan remotely. (Some fans come with remote controls, but if yours doesn’t, a “smart” plug or power strip can work too.) Further reading: How Much Fan Do You Need When Riding Indoors? 3. Get social. Wherever you are, Zwift lets you ride or run alongside people from all over the world. Don’t miss out on this part of the Zwift experience! Type a message to say “hi” and give someone a wave and a Ride On. If you notice someone is on a long ride, maybe offer them your wheel for some relief (but don’t be offended if they decline). Join a group ride and enjoy making conversation (or not) while working toward a common goal. Consider joining a Zwift team, which gives you allies in races and friends on the road. And if a group ride includes a Discord voice chat, give that a try too! Check out the Zwift forums, where you can chat with others and get help. If you have a Facebook account, you can join “ Zwift Riders ” and/or “ Zwift Runners ” – the official unofficial Zwift groups. If that’s not enough, search around to find communities that suit your interests. 4. Pay attention to challenges. Zwift offers three “challenges” that keep track of your progress toward certain goals and reward you with an in-game bike when completed. Two of them, Ride California and Tour Italy, add up the distance of your Zwift rides. A third, Climb Mt. Everest, counts your total elevation. From the menu screen, click the challenge image in the top right to select one. Here’s the key: Your rides only count toward a challenge when it’s selected, and each challenge will track either distance or elevation – not both! The challenges will save your progress when you switch to another one, though. It’s possible to target Everest when you’ll be climbing, and then switch to California or Italy when you’re sticking to flat roads. When you have finished one challenge, make sure to select another one… unless you just got to the top of Everest! Keep climbing with Everest selected for another reward. 5. Sign up for missions. Once in a while, a mission box will appear at the left of the starting Zwift screen. These often give you the chance to win prizes, both within Zwift and in real life, for completing certain goals in a set amount of time. To participate, click the “Join” button on the mission and agree to the terms and conditions. 6. Learn to draft on the bike. Drafting is an important skill to learn on Zwift, especially if you’re going to be doing group rides or races. A quick way to get a feel for how it works is to approach a rider going a steady speed and try to draft them. Ease up a little to see your avatar drop back, and then gently add power to bring yourself back onto their wheel. Now see if you can pedal with the least effort while staying right behind them. It’s good etiquette to come around the other rider and let them sit in the draft too! (Remember, some people may want to ride by themselves. Try not to stay on the wheel of a lone rider for too long unless they invite you to keep them company.) Important note: time trial bikes can’t draft. If it has aerobars/tri bars sticking out the front, save it for TT races or solo riding. 7. Try a little of everything. Not sure what to do? Try it all! Spend a session on your own getting lost on Watopia, admiring the scenery, and going for jersey segments. Then chill out with a relaxed group or push your limits by competing in a race. Get a taste of structured training with an individual workout or jump into a training plan. Maybe join a group workout. Don’t limit yourself – your favorite thing might not be what you expect. 8. Read event descriptions. You can join events directly from Zwift, but you won’t get much information about them in game. Before your event starts, look it up on the Zwift events page or the Zwift Companion mobile app. An event’s description can give you vital information about the format, the rules, the pace of a group ride, which category to join in a race, and more. 9. Connect a ZwiftPower account to Zwift if you race, and maybe even if you don’t. Zwift sometimes gives race results in-game, but some organizers choose to turn this off. Why? To encourage you to use ZwiftPower. On this third-party website, you can see how you fared against others who are really in your category and who followed the race rules. You’ll also see performance data for yourself and the people who raced with you. All your past results and performance data will be organized here in one place. It’s also a good spot to see recent and upcoming Zwift events, including group rides and runs, at a glance. 10. Ride flat ground to level up faster and get a better wardrobe. Higher levels reward you with new kits and accessories for your avatar. They also let you pass level gates for certain areas and unlock more bikes and wheels in the Drop Shop. To level up as quickly as possible, seek out flat routes. XP is mainly awarded based on the distance you cover. (Cyclists get 20 XP per kilometer or 30 XP per mile, so using kilometers will earn them faster!) Also, use PowerUps as you get them – the next banner may randomly give you an XP bonus. If you’re riding solo, try a time trial bike. TT bikes don’t collect PowerUps, which means you’ll get more XP at every banner. Finally, workouts will award XP based on the “stars” you get for successfully completing intervals. 11. Go climbing to get more gear. You can exchange Drops for in-game bikes and wheels for your avatar. Some of these help you go faster, while others you might just want for the look. To collect Drops as quickly as possible, head for the hills. You earn them faster while climbing a 3% grade or higher. 12. Learn to use shortcuts. Not cutting corners – keyboard shortcuts! They can be a little confusing. “A” for the pairing screen? “E” for workout mode? “T” to customize your avatar? “M” for message is easier to remember, and so is “G” for a graph of your power and heart rate. It might help to write them down or print out a list ( found here ). Don’t have your keyboard handy? A Bluetooth keyboard and mouse is great for Zwifting. If you’re using Zwift on an iOS or Android device, tapping on the screen will bring up the Action Bar, which has buttons representing some of the shortcut actions. You can also bring up the Action Bar on a computer screen by pressing the “Up” arrow. The main menu button appears in the lower-left when you stop riding or running, move the mouse (on a computer), or tap the screen (on a mobile device). Important: pressing “A” also works as an emergency brake. Avoid during races! Stopping pedaling won’t stop your avatar on a downhill, and you’ll coast to a halt on the flat. To stop right away, just bring up the pairing screen. 13. Check Zwift Insider for route info, bike stats, expert tips, and more. OK, this one’s a little self-promoting. But it’s a good tip! Other helpful websites include: What’s On Zwift? for information on which courses are on the calendar and a handy list of Zwift workouts. ZwiftHacks for useful tools and reference pages. And, of course, Zwift support, where you can see Frequently Asked Questions and submit a ticket to get help with a technical problem. Happy Zwifting and Ride On! Share:	msmarco_doc_59_1042808342

Climbing Everest is a prerequisite? 50,000 m of climb isn’t sufficient by itself? Is it necessary to do the additional 50,000 meters on the Everest climb, or is just your climbing meters once you’ve completed Everest? Thanks for the details. 3 Reply 47 Rusty (@47rusty) 1 year ago Reply to Green Dog Choosing the Everest climb as your challenge is a prerequisite. Climbing Everest is the first 8,850 meters of your required 50,000 meters. So, yes, climbing Everest is a prerequisite, and then “climb 41,150 additional meters”. 1 Reply Steph 7 months ago Reply to Green Dog Can it be done a dumb trainer? I’m doing it on a dumb trainer and it’s accepting my rides and elevation. I’m halfway..but I wonder, if it will actually unlock the bike for me as I’m not on a smart trainer.

Although I known of ONE Zwifter who did it all in one ride! 6 Reply Glen 1 year ago Reply to Eric Schlange Sorry to be so dense. I understand that the Everest ride and the additional 41,000+ do NOT have to take place at the same time. BUT… do you have to the Everest portion all at once, or can you pedal part of Everest and come back to it later. Thanks. 0 Reply Martin 1 year ago Reply to Glen None of the parts have to be at once. It’s all cumulative. 1 Reply Mike 2 months ago Reply to Eric Schlange ADZ is about 1000m. A strong ADZ climb would be about an hour, so we are talking about 50 hours of hard climbing. That isn’t even taking into account the time it takes to go back down the mountain between climbs. So the only way to do it in “one ride” would be to leave the game running for days or weeks. If you get off the trainer without quitting the game and come back 12 hours later to keep riding, the game might call that one ride, but I don’t. I call shenanigans. 0 Reply Amy Kaufman 1 year ago Purchased a bike never got it. -31 Reply Stack 1 year ago After you finish Mt Everest and are continuing to climb towards 50k meters, do you need to leave it on Mt Everest or can you change to a different challenge and still be climbing towards tron bike? 0 Reply Author Top Member Eric Schlange (@eschlange) 1 year ago Reply to Stack Gotta keep it on the Everest challenge if you want your climbing to count toward the Tron bike. 5 Reply Johannes Joubert 1 year ago Hi.

A standalone phone will do the job, but isn’t ideal due to poor speakers and mic positioning. The most common setup is to run Discord on your mobile phone, using hardwired or Bluetooth earbuds with a built-in mic. I don’t like a lot of cords hanging around, so I use true wireless Jaybird Vista earbuds. Love ’em. (The Tarah earbuds are much cheaper and also work well, but they have a connecting wire.) STEP 1: INSTALL THE APP Discord runs on mobile devices as well as Windows and Mac. Installation is simple: just search for “Discord” on your mobile device, or visit https://discordapp.com/ on your computer and click the link to download the app. STEP 2: CREATE YOUR ACCOUNT Just click “Register” and enter your email and desired password. Easy! STEP 3: ENTER THE INVITE CODE To join a Discord server you must have an invite code. Click this link from the device you’ve installed Discord to, or just enter “zwiftinsider manually into Discord to join our server: https://discord.gg/zwiftinsider CONGRATS, YOU’RE IN! Just click the “Join” button and you’ll be logged into the Zwift Insider Discord server. STEP 4: HERE’S THE TRICKY PART Discord automatically places you in the text chat channel, which isn’t where you want to be. Click the hamburger menu (3 lines at top-left) to view all the channels on the server. Scroll down and pick a chat room under Cycling Chat Rooms, then click “Join Voice” to join the audio chat. YOU’RE ALL SET! Once you see yourself on the list of other users in your chosen voice channel, you’re all done. As long as you have your microphone and earbuds/speakers hooked up correctly, you’re good to go. Recommendation: Use Push to Talk In voice channels, Discord has two different input modes: Push to Talk: you have to push a button in order to transmit your voice across the channel Voice Activity: when Discord detects that you’re speaking, it transmits your audio across the channel In Zwift land, it is generally considered good practice to use Push to Talk, so people only hear you when you’re actually speaking. If you set it to “Voice Activity” (which is the default setting) your noisy fan, trainer, or gear shifts may be detected as audio input and broadcasted across the channel. Push to Talk ensures you’re only transmitting audio when you want to be!

https://zwiftinsider.com/visit-zwift-hq/	My visit to Zwift HQ - Zwift Insider	My visit to Zwift HQ My visit to Zwift HQ #RideOn, ZwiftHQ. Keep up the great work! About The Author Eric Schlange	My visit to Zwift HQ - Zwift Insider My visit to Zwift HQ Posted by Eric Schlange \| Nov 9, 2016 \| News \| 0 Last weekend my family and I drove down to Southern California to ride “Bike the Coast” with my brother in Oceanside. It’s a long drive: 10 hours if you drive straight through (California is a big state, and I live near the top). But it was well worth it to spend quality time with family, ride a century along the ocean, and pay a last-minute visit Zwift HQ in Long Beach. Scott Barger (right) and myself. Scott Barger, one of Zwift’s co-founders, generously gave my brother and I a complete tour of the place. (My plans had changed at the last-minute, so just the fact that he made this happen says a lot.) The vast majority of Zwifters aren’t familiar with Scott’s name because he keeps a pretty low profile on social media, but Scott is in charge of the customer experience side of things: so when you get a helpful automated email from Zwift, or the Zwift support team helps you with a tech problem, you have Scott to thank. Zwift HQ is located on the 19th floor of a large office building located at 301 E. Ocean in Long Beach, CA. It’s a beautiful office space with expansive views of the Pacific and surrounding city. When I arrived I was greeted by office manager Elise Baden, who I have emailed back and forth with several times. The entry area includes a couple full bike racks on the wall, a large TV with Zwift running live, and easy access to the various departments and offices. Scott came out to meet me, and I also had a quick chat with retired pro (world pursuit champion) Mike McCarthy, VP of Partnerships at Zwift. We proceeded to visit each department, and I’m sorry to say while I met lots of great folks, I can’t remember many names. In hindsight, I should have taken more notes and photos! We began with Customer Experience where I met Eric Chon and others. This crew handles Zwift’s social media, email blasts, and more. Art Department, touching up pelicans, bikes, and scenery (most of the crew was gone for lunch when I snapped this shot) The Art Department was next, where five different artists were working on drawing new bikes (there are a lot of bikes coming to Zwift), touching up pelicans, and more. It was fascinating to watch them hand-draw the game elements I interact with regularly. Next I met the two website guys who are responsible for the very nice and every-improving Zwift.com. Then we hit the Game/Physics Group–these are the “math guys” who decide how drafting works, automatic positioning in a pack, etc. Our last department was Tech Support where we said hi to Lindsay Ruppert (who often chimes in on Zwift Riders) and crew. After the meet and greets we hit Zwift’s gym/test lab which had several Zwift machines, big screens, and a pile of trainers along with a treadmill and Concept2 rower. This is where the Zwift crew gets to ride for workouts and live game testing. Scott also showed us a connected storage room which contained shelf after shelf of nearly every trainer known to man because, as Scott explained, Zwift staff needs to test every trainer to make sure the Zwift experience is as accurate as possible. Throughout the tour Scott introduced me as “Eric Schlange–the guy who did the map!” and everyone was very friendly and gracious. I even saw a few of my Watopia maps framed and hanging up, which was pretty gratifying. My only regrets were not getting to meet “Game Master” Jon Mayfield (who wasn’t in) or CEO Eric Min (who lives in London). But I was able to meet so many of the flesh and blood humans who work every day to make our Zwift experience more amazing, and I was impressed with just how many people it takes to make Zwift work. It’s no small undertaking, and this was only a portion of Zwift’s crew (they also have offices in New York, London, Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo.) I especially enjoyed talking with Scott about Zwift’s story–past, present, and future. There is so much in store for Zwift (as Eric Min’s recent Zwiftcast interview explained) and it was exciting to be at the epicenter of it all. #RideOn, ZwiftHQ. Keep up the great work!

https://zwiftinsider.com/zwift-alone/	How to Ride Alone on Zwift - Zwift Insider	How to Ride Alone on Zwift How to Ride Alone on Zwift Solution #1: Turn Off Your Internet Connection Gotchas Solution #2: Firewall Setting up a “Solo Zwifting” firewall rule on Windows 10: Gotchas Solution #3: World Hack Questions or comments? About The Author Eric Schlange	How to Ride Alone on Zwift - Zwift Insider How to Ride Alone on Zwift Posted by Eric Schlange \| Jan 30, 2020 \| Zwift Hacks \| 27 When it launched in 2014, Zwift grabbed cyclists’ attention because it enabled real-time interaction between riders: a social platform. And this is truer today more than ever: the interaction with other humans, the camaraderie developed over time, and the friendships built on the platform are motivating and valuable. But sometimes, you may just want to ride or run solo, and there’s nothing wrong with that! We’ve had several Zwifters ask us how to do this easily – here are three ways. Solution #1: Turn Off Your Internet Connection Once you’ve logged in and started your Zwift activity, turn off the Internet connection on your Zwift device. This will remove all other Zwifters from view, and remove you from their view. It is quite easy to turn the Internet connection off on most devices – a click or two on Mac, PC, iOS, and Android. It’s more of a hassle on AppleTV, but can be done there through the Settings menu or by simply unplugging your ethernet cable if you’re using a wired connection. Here’s the important part: reconnect the Internet before you save your activity and exit Zwift! This will allow the activity data to sync up with your account at my.zwift.com as well as Strava or other third-party connected apps. Gotchas Turning off the Internet may be the simplest way to ride alone on Zwift, but it also means your Zwift device will be without an Internet connection during your activity, which may be an annoyance. Additionally, your fans won’t be able to give you a ride on during your activity. If either of these an issue, try this next approach… Solution #2: Firewall This solution is really only practical if you’re running Zwift on a Mac or PC. Both macOS and Windows have built-in software firewalls that allow you to easily create rules governing the data flowing in and out of your computer. The nice thing about the firewall approach is it lets you maintain an Internet connection on your device while riding solo on Zwift. Simply put: if you turn off outbound UDP traffic on port 3022, all riders on course will be hidden and you will be hidden from their screens. Setting up a “Solo Zwifting” firewall rule on Windows 10: Open up the Windows Defender Firewall app Click “Outbound” then click “New Rule” Select “Port” from “What type of rule would you like to create?” Select UDP, and enter 3022 as the “Specific remote port” Choose “Block the connection” (which is the default) Let the rule apply to Domain, Private, and Public (which is the default) Give it a name such as “Zwift solo riding” and click “Finish” Done! The rule will automatically be enabled, but you can click to disable it and ride with others anytime you’d like. We won’t include instructions for macOS or other Windows versions here, but the rules are pretty simple to create, and you can always delete the rule if you think you messed something up. One way the firewall approach wins over the “Turn Off Your Internet” solution is your followers will still see that you’re active, and be able to give you Ride Ons. Gotchas We use this firewall method for much of our Zwift Insider Labs speed tests, and occasionally we’ve had issues with Zwift crashing if we boot up Zwift with the firewall enabled and begin our activity. To avoid this, boot up Zwift with the firewall setting disabled, then only enable it after you’ve begun your activity. Solution #3: World Hack This last solution doesn’t ensure you’ll be riding solo, but it will greatly reduce the number of riders on course. If you use the world tag hack to access a world that isn’t today’s scheduled guest world, the only Zwifters there will be other world hackers or those participating in an event – and chances are those event participants will be hidden from view. World hacking, therefore, is a nice way to get yourself into a barely-populated map, if that’s what you’re looking for. Learn all about the world tag hack > Questions or comments?

Drafting Power Savings in Zwift The Challenges of Zwift Drafting Drafting Cues Drafting Tips and Notes Draft Boost (Van) Powerup Dial It In Double Draft Mode Steering Challenges TT Bikes Do Not Draft Flick that Elbow! About The Author Eric Schlange	Drafting in Zwift: Power Savings, Tips, and Tricks - Zwift Insider Drafting in Zwift: Power Savings, Tips, and Tricks Posted by Eric Schlange \| Dec 26, 2019 \| Racing, Speed Tests \| 18 Unless you plan to always ride by yourself, drafting is an essential skill for the cyclist–both indoors and out. Here’s everything you need to know about drafting in Zwift. Why Draft? The goal of drafting in Zwift is to conserve energy, just as it is outdoors. The amount of energy saved by drafting is no “marginal gain”–it is literally the difference between winning and losing in every bike race. Estimates vary, but the number most often thrown around outdoors is a 30% power savings when drafting behind just one other rider. Example: you could put out 210 watts while drafting and maintain the same speed as the rider ahead of you who is putting out 300 watts–assuming you’re both the same size, weight, CdA, etc. Riding in a large pack will reduce wind resistance even more, resulting in greater power savings. Scientists studied the draft affect of a large peloton (121 riders) and found that wind resistance in the “sweet spot” of this large group was only 5-10% what a solo rider would experience. Incredible! Drafting Power Savings in Zwift Based on our (admittedly limited) tests, drafting in Zwift behind a single rider gets you a power savings of approximately 25%. Using power emulators on a closed course, we had one rider sustain 300 watts while another ride drafted behind. We found a rider could stay in this 300-watt draft at 225 watts while on relatively flat ground. Changes in pitch effect these numbers, as gravity comes increasingly into play. Using the above power numbers, the front rider will pull away on an incline. But when a decline hits, it will take even fewer watts to stay in the draft. The draft effect in Zwift is enhanced in larger groups – see our tests of 4-rider drafting for more info. The Challenges of Zwift Drafting Zwift HQ has done a commendable job with their drafting algorithms to create something that works well in small and large packs for a variety of riders. That said, drafting in Zwift takes some getting used to, even if you are familiar with drafting in real life. Here are the differences: No steering: outside you can steer in and out of a draft. Unless you’ve got a Sterzo Smart in a steering-enabled event, there is no steering on Zwift pavement. This means sometimes the game places you behind someone you are trying to avoid, or doesn’t place you behind someone you’re attempting to draft behind. No brakes: when you ride outside, you can tap your brakes to maintain the proper distance off the back tire of the rider in front of you. There are no brakes in Zwift, so your front to back position in the pack becomes a matter of putting down the right amount of power at the right time. Limited and delayed sensory feedback: outside you can feel when you’re in the draft: the air resistance decreases and you don’t have to work as hard to keep the pace. On Zwift, there are very limited cues as to when you are in the draft or not, and resistance does not decrease when drafting. Additionally, if you need to modify your power output to stay in the draft, the response (your avatar moving in response to your power change) is not as immediate as it would be in real life. Drafting Cues Zwift uses the visual cue of sitting up (riding with your hands on the hoods instead of the drops) as an indicator that you are in the draft. It can be a little confusing though, since Zwift will also have your avatar sit up at slow solo speeds. If you are moving at 33kph or more and your avatar is sitting up (on the hoods), you are in the draft. Your avatar will begin riding on the hoods, but as you speed up to 32-33kph your avatar will move to the drops. If you are in the drops and begin to slow down, your avatar will move to the hoods as you hit 29-30kph. In the drops, not drafting Sitting up in the draft Riders on the Tron bike never sit up The Tron bike has no “sitting up” animation, so even though you are experiencing the draft effect, your avatar will never change position on the Tron. Drafting Tips and Notes Draft Boost (Van) Powerup The draft boost powerup doubles the strength of whatever draft you are experiencing for 30 seconds. It only works if you are in the draft, so use it in the pack to save some energy. Dial It In Because of how Zwift’s “sticky draft” works, there is a “wattage window” within which you can hold a rider’s wheel. For example: you may be holding a wheel at 240w, but if you reduce your power to 220w you’ll still hold the wheel. In a small group, it’s worth easing off the pedals to figure out just how much power you actually need to hold the wheel, so you aren’t putting out more wattage than necessary. Double Draft Mode Zwift has an event mode called “double draft” which gives riders twice the standard Zwift draft effect. This is only used in particular events or races and has the effect of keeping the pack together while increasing overall pack speed. Read more about it > Steering Challenges Since Zwift steers for you automatically, you may at times find yourself being steered out of the draft. If this happens while you’re attempting to stay in the draft, simply keep your power at a level that keeps you in a good position to get the draft, and Zwift will typically steer you into the draft soon enough. TT Bikes Do Not Draft On Zwift, TT bike frames do not experience a draft effect. You can draft behind a TT rider, but the TT rider will not get any benefit from riding behind anyone else. Flick that Elbow! Just like outdoors, you can use the elbow flick motion (F1 on your keyboard, or in your list of motions on the Companion app) to signal to other riders that it’s their turn to take a pull.

This article is not intended to provide a comparison between the pros and cons of the various platforms, but rather offer advice to those who wish to run Zwift at its very best – that is to say, on a PC at the highest detail level and at a high frame rate of 60fps or more. There are a lot of misconceptions about the amount of processing power needed that I will try to address – the main ones being that great Zwift performance is all about the graphics card (not strictly true), that CPU doesn’t matter (not true) and that you need an ‘expensive gaming rig’ (definitely not true). Warning: if you’re already content with a lower level of detail and/or a low frame rate, this article is not for you! A better-looking, smoother Zwift will not make you faster (unless it gets you on the bike more often). It’s just nicer. This at 30fps or less… …versus this at 60fps or more? It’s important to note that almost all of what follows is NOT particularly good advice for PC gaming in general, because Zwift has its own bottlenecks and quirks and there are hugely diminishing returns beyond a certain point of investment. This guide is aimed at people who want to use their PC solely or mainly for Zwift and want great results without wasting money unnecessarily. At current UK prices, it’s easy to build a fantastic Zwift PC for under £400. TL;DR – Key components to buy for best performance/value ratio (February 2020): You need a CPU with high clock speed and strong single-thread performance. More cores are essentially irrelevant, so don’t waste your money. Whilst AMD Ryzen CPUs are excellent value and offer a fantastic future upgrade path, in general Intel CPUs are better suited to Zwift. Good examples: Intel Core i3-9100F, or Core i5-9400F if streaming or multitasking is your thing. Buy an Nvidia graphics card of series 10xx or newer, with 4GB of VRAM or greater. Don’t go too far though because you’ll see the same bottlenecks no matter what, so don’t waste your money. I’m not even convinced Zwift uses more than 4GB. Good examples: Nvidia GTX 1660, GTX 1650 Super, or GTX 1060 6GB. Unless you are dead set on a big 4K TV, look to buy a Freesync monitor with a wide adaptive sync range; ideally enough to allow for Low Framerate Compensation (LFC). Good examples: Pixio PX275h (branded ElectriQ in the UK) or virtually any 144Hz gaming monitor with DisplayPort input (important!) 8GB of system RAM is plenty, and adding it in dual channel configuration (i.e. two sticks) is best practice. More capacity won’t improve anything, so don’t waste your money. Good example: 2 x 4GB 2400Mhz DDR4. Zwift can take a while to update and load worlds, so have your system running on an SSD. If it’s just for installing Windows and running Zwift, even a 120GB SSD is easily big enough. Note: AMD graphics cards don’t perform as well in Zwift, so they should generally be avoided. Settings Before we move onto specifications, it’s important to know that beyond manually tweaking the configuration files (there’s a brilliant guide here on Zwiftinsider.com) there are only two graphics settings in Zwift and only one is determined by the user. The actual detail levels – depth of field, lighting/shadow effects, and environmental elements such as water effects and wildlife seen – are chosen automatically by Zwift HQ. They determine what you see based on your computer’s graphical ability. For computers using integrated graphics (i.e. no dedicated/discrete graphics card), you will always see the Basic detail profile. Almost exactly the same as phones, tablets, and Apple TV. This increases through Medium and High up to Ultra for mid-range graphics cards and above. HQ identify and account for every graphics card on the market and decide on a profile for it, hence the reason why some people with newly released graphics cards sometimes see less detail than they are expecting. It’s worth noting that whilst AMD graphics cards offer really good value for normal gaming, they perform relatively poorly in Zwift because Zwift uses the OpenGL API, and AMD’s OpenGL drivers are much less optimized than those offered by Nvidia. The only graphics option Zwifters have control over is the display resolution of the game, which is accessed via the in-game settings menu. This ranges from 576p to 2160p (4K). Rather unhelpfully, these options are also named Basic, Ultra, etc so it’s understandable why some people get confused. Selecting the higher options and hoping to maintain 60fps+ will obviously require a stronger graphics card, but it won’t increase what you see – that’s based on the automatically-set profile set by HQ. Higher-resolution options are just increasingly sharper and cleaner. Note that you’re not limited to the resolution of your display – it’s possible to choose a higher setting for a nice anti-aliasing effect – just be aware that it will also have a performance impact. To recap, in order to see the Ultra PROFILE you will simply need any decent Nvidia graphics card from the last five years or so. If you want to run the High RESOLUTION (1080p) or above nicely, expect the demand on your graphics card to increase. The Problem But here’s where it gets more complicated. In a solo ride, in a relatively quiet area of Watopia, any decent graphics card will be able to do Ultra profile, 1080p resolution at 60fps without any bother at all. However in a busy group ride, or in areas like the most common spawn point in New York (at the bottom of a hill!), you will probably find that your frame rate tanks. The impact can vary in significance, from just losing a few frames right down to making Zwift an expensive slideshow. The unfortunate truth is that as things stand this behaviour cannot be completely avoided, almost no matter what your computer specs are. Through my own testing and observing the many posts, logs and diagnosis on the various Zwift groups and forums over the past couple of years I’m convinced that all PC builds drop frames in this way. This even applies to those with £500+ graphics cards and £500+ CPUs which is patently ridiculous when you consider what these extremely high-end components can achieve! Zwift doesn’t look bad, but it’s miles behind the visuals of modern games. There’s simply no logical reason why you should need to spend so much on a PC to run Zwift well, but I am not a programmer so I cannot say why this is. What certainly seems to help is not a stronger graphics card, but a CPU with better single-thread performance. This is almost always an Intel CPU. Whilst AMD’s Ryzen series of CPUs are a better value in general and provide a much better upgrade path – because all three generations released to date can normally be installed in the same motherboard – up until the most recent 3000 series CPUs, their single-thread performance trailed behind the Intel equivalents. Additionally, some people have experienced graphical anomalies with the 3000 series Ryzen CPUs, so at present it’s hard to recommend them for Zwift. Because Zwift doesn’t appear to benefit in any way from extra cores, there’s little point going above a quad core. This combination means the Intel Core i3-9100F is a perfect option. It’s laughably cheap and should do the job nicely if Zwift is all you’ll be doing. If you also want to stream, multitask, encode video or use the PC for other things, a step up to the six-core i5-9400F is a good idea. I’m a big fan of Ryzen CPUs and virtually everything you’ll see online will recommend them for builds, but for Zwift it’s easier to just stick with Intel. With analysis courtesy of the excellent Zwiftalizer.com, here are two examples of solo ride warmups in Watopia followed by races in other worlds: In both cases the frame rate is perfect until I join the race, when the frame rate drops hugely until the field becomes suitably stretched. I believe it’s down to how Zwift is programmed, and potentially due to how slowly data gets to us from their servers. The user’s computer must visualise the live positions, speeds and drafting physics of potentially thousands of other riders (although only the nearest 100 riders are actually rendered on screen) and it appears lots of these calculations are done at the client end. Graphics cards are severely under-utilised, and the frame rate drops. It may seem counterintuitive but it’s preferable for a graphics card to be working at a high utilisation in games, that way you’re getting the maximum out of it. Utilisation being low means it’s being stopped from working to its best by some other aspect of the system – a bottleneck. Or to put it the other way around, if utilisation was pegged at 100% and frames were being dropped it would be easy to see that a stronger graphics card would improve performance, but that’s not the case in Zwift. Likewise, reducing the resolution setting should see a substantial improvement in frame rate in the most problematic situations but this is rarely the case. It’s further proof that you needn’t spend more and more on a graphics card, because it’s clear that’s not where the major bottleneck is. Unless this behaviour changes – and bear in mind Zwift HQ openly state that their focus is low-end/low power platforms due to user base demographics – then spending more and more money on processing power hoping to eliminate the frame rate drops isn’t really an answer. It can certainly help of course, as can overclocking to push your components more. But none of this gets away from the fundamental issue which is out of our control. Mitigation So yep, you could buy an RTX 2080Ti and an i9-9900KS and overclock everything within an inch of its life. Or you could buy/keep good quality mid-range components and accept that the performance will always suffer in certain circumstances. If you want to display Zwift on a big TV this is where the story ends. But if you want to mitigate the drops, that’s where adaptive sync comes in very handy. Fortunately, Nvidia made this much easier to obtain in early 2019 by announcing Freesync support for its 10xx series graphics cards and newer. Previously you needed to buy an expensive GSync monitor but this is no longer the case. Adaptive sync allows you to simply smooth out the frame rate drops at the other end of your system. I realise lots of Zwifters like to use a TV to display the game, but as with normal fixed refresh rate monitors that normally means you can’t use adaptive sync. With a normal TV or monitor, you are stuck with two options for Zwift: Vsync on: brilliantly smooth when your computer can maintain 60fps, but causes stuttering and drops to 30fps* when it cannot. Vsync off: your computer just outputs whatever it can, causing screen tearing at everything other than exactly 60fps. your display’s refresh rate **half of your display’s refresh rate Adaptive Sync With adaptive sync, a display changes refresh rate in real-time to match your frame rate – smoothing out all the fluctuations within a range determined as part of the monitor’s specifications. For example, the specs of my monitor show the Freesync range is 48-75Hz so whenever I’m in that frame rate range I don’t see any tearing or stuttering. It’s perfect for a game ‘on rails’ like Zwift. Ideally you want enough adaptive sync range to allow for every eventuality you will encounter. On 144Hz gaming monitors you’re basically covered no matter what, because even below the adaptive sync range, Low Framerate Compensation (LFC) kicks in to avoid stuttering. Whilst Freesync now works with Nvidia graphics cards, bear in mind it’s only available over DisplayPort (it won’t work over HDMI) and with the exception of the few officially-certified models on the market, you won’t know if any particular monitor will work perfectly until you try it. Check reviews or Reddit and the likes to see how other people got on, you’ll normally find someone somewhere has tried it and reported back. There have been some Freesync TVs on the market for the last couple of years but aside from the newest LG OLED models, they require an AMD graphics card which as mentioned don’t perform very well in Zwift. So whilst it is feasible to obtain adaptive sync on a very big screen this way, you’d essentially be knowingly buying a component that doesn’t work very well, in order to mitigate it with another. Otherwise a big TV is great, but you should be aware that you’ll need a stronger CPU to ensure your frame rate stays at or around 60fps as often as possible. Here’s an example of a solo ride around the newly refreshed Richmond, with lots of riders nearby at all times: Thanks to adaptive sync, my experience was great because my frame rate stayed within the adaptive sync range of my monitor for almost the entire time no matter what was going on, with just a couple of very brief dips below 48fps which weren’t noticeable. No tearing, no stutter, just perfectly smooth Zwifting. See also the graphs from my races above; once my frame rate was back above 48fps everything was back to being great. Summary As things stand you can’t really avoid frame rate drops on Zwift. How severe they are is dependent on your components, but don’t expect them to disappear completely. You DO NOT need to spend mega money on a gaming PC to get a great experience in Zwift, so don’t! Spend your money in the right places if you want to focus on mitigating the issues. This is much easier with an adaptive sync monitor but is also possible with a select number of TVs. Bonus addendum: Doing all this on a tighter budget Buy an ex-office SFF desktop PC with a CPU like a i5-3470 or similar. There are tons available on the likes of eBay. Install a GTX 1650 low profile which fits, runs from the PCIe slot alone and can normally be accommodated by the power supply in this class of computer. Ensure you have good ventilation and be sure to change the Nvidia power management mode to ‘Prefer maximum performance’. Upgrade the DDR3 RAM to 8GB, it’s dirt cheap on eBay or CeX in the UK. Whack in an SSD and install Windows from a USB stick. You should be able to achieve 60fps in Ultra detail at 1080p in normal circumstances for under £250. All the same principles and caveats above still apply though.

Light Up Your Life Advanced Shooting Tips Using the Drone Camera Clean Is In Sharing Your Shots Where Pictures are Stored “Image Uploading” Setting Selecting Photos to Share Changing the Strava Highlight Photo Your Tips Welcome	How to: Snap and Share Killer Zwift Photos - Zwift Insider How to: Snap and Share Killer Zwift Photos Posted by Eric Schlange \| Nov 18, 2019 \| Zwift Hacks \| 27 I’ve worn many hats after 20+ years as a self-employed tech guy. One of my favorite hats has been photographer. I’ve shot portraits, products, weddings, food, landscapes… you get the idea. Nowadays, though, most of my photos are taken with an iPhone out on the bike. These photos really only see the light of day on my Strava profile. Some are taken so I can remember that moment in time, while others are taken so I can share the experience with my Strava followers. I upload pics from my Zwift sessions for the same reasons. Just like “real” photography, getting a good shot on Zwift isn’t as easy as pushing F10. You’ve got to pay attention to lighting, angles, background, etc. It’s a more restricted environment, but one with plenty of possibilities. And while it may seem silly to some, pushing the limits of these possibilities is fun for many, including myself. So here it is: your definitive guide to shooting and sharing good Zwift screenshots. How to Shoot: the Basics Taking the Shot There are three ways to take a photo in Zwift: Your computer keyboard: press F10 to snap a shot. Zwift Companion app: scroll the action buttons at the bottom of the map screen until you see the camera (last button on the right). This is the only way to take a photo on AppleTV. In-game action bar: in iOS/Android, just tap the screen to get this pop up. What’s Your Angle? The first thing you can do to make your photos more interesting is to change camera angle. The default angle on Zwift is great for zwifting, but completely uninteresting for screenshots! On a computer, just hit a number key to change it: 1: Default 6 o’clock view 2: Third person view 3: First person shooter perspective 4: To the side front-left of the rider 5: Rearview from the right of the rear wheel 6: Head on to the rider 7: Spectator view 8: Helicopter view 9: Bird’s eye view (PC/Mac only) 0: Drone View – use the arrow keys, +, and – keys to move and zoom camera (PC/Mac only) On Zwift Companion or iOS/AppleTV/Android look for the eyeball button to click and change the camera angle. Here’s what each camera angle produces: Light Up Your Life Any photographer worth their screen cap will tell you lighting is always a top concern. Photography is just capturing light, after all. Zwift shots also require good lighting, but for most shots it basically comes down to the difference between your rider being in the shade (bad) or full light (good). Here are two samples for you. Notice how the second picture of each pair is much more interesting, as the subject of the photo is well lit. Runner is shaded, not good Runner is lit, very nice Rider is shaded, not good Rider is lit, very nice Of course, the lighting challenge on Zwift is that you can’t move lights around to get the look you want! And some courses like New York have a lot of foliage or buildings which create spotty shade. If you’re really chasing a good shot, you may need to flip a u-turn or take multiple shots to get one where your avatar is lit the way you’d like. The good news is, you’re not having to pay for extra film! Advanced Shooting Tips Using the Drone Camera If you want a real pro Zwift pic, you’re going to be on a computer with a keyboard so you can hit 0 and move the camera yourself. Tapping 0 puts you in “drone view” where you can use your four arrow keys to move the camera up, down, left and right. Additionally, hitting the – or + keys will zoom in and out. Once you get comfortable with this setting it is very easy to use, and that’s good because the angle of your shot can make all the difference. I’m partial to low angles, taken from near street level. Here’s an example: I’ve found in drone mode the camera doesn’t usually want to go low if you just hit the down arrow. But if you hit the up arrow first for a bit, THEN down, it will go lower than it would before! Give it a try. Clean Is In Unless you have a reason for displaying the various on-screen metrics, “clean” shots look much cooler. But you can only take clean shots if you’re using a computer or Zwift Companion! Shots taken using the iOS/Android versions of Zwift always include the HUD. Sharing Your Shots Where Pictures are Stored If you use a computer to Zwift, but take a photo using Zwift Companion, it will be saved to the computer which is actually running the game as well as your mobile device. If you’re running Zwift on AppleTV, your screenshots taken with Zwift Companion will be saved only to your mobile device. On Windows, photos are stored under Photos/Zwift. Here’s what my folder looks like: “Image Uploading” Setting By default Zwift takes some snapshots as you ride and uploads them to Strava. You can change this behavior through the Settings menu so it only uploads the photos you take (my preference), or never uploads photos. Important: if you choose “Never” for this setting, you will not be able to take pictures from within game on your computer! You will however still be able to take pictures using Zwift Companion. Selecting Photos to Share Select which photos to save to your Zwift activity and Strava when finishing your activity: Select up to 5 photos on the ride saving screen. Click in the top-right of a photo to toggle between saving the clean version, or the version including the HUD. You may also select one photo as the “featured” photo, indicated by the star in the corner. Changing the Strava Highlight Photo Strava will choose the first picture you upload as your activity’s “highlight” photo. (If you’re on a computer, the photo you star when saving the activity will be the Strava featured photo.) If you’d rather use a different shot (this is often the case), simply edit your activity, clicking the photo you want to highlight, and choose “Set as Highlight Photo”.

Perfect for use in the gym or when travelling. Zwift have enabled the Apple watch as a device to pick up running speed and Heart Rate. It’s really simple to do. Firstly install the Zwift app on your iPhone. For this example we installed this onto the iPhone that is paired to the Apple Watch. If you wanted to run on an iPad or other BLE device you’d need to install the Zwift Companion on the iPhone that is paired to the Apple Watch. Note if you have a Mac or PC that has an ANT+ adapter you will need some sort of bridge, as detailed in this article. I set this up for my wife to check it worked for “free” as a brand new user. She chose to be a runner, which took us straight to the run pairing screen. So we simply chose the Apple Watch as both Run Speed and Heart rate. Sadly at this point they’ve not enabled the Apple watch for cadence. After setting up some body measurements she was ready to run, interesting to note she unlocked a Rapha running kit without even moving. After that she simply started running and it worked fine! Stay tuned for further articles on both the Stryd and Garmin running pods, and then a comparison of accuracy between all three. Share:	msmarco_doc_59_1042884666

I achieved this through trial and error and now it requires almost zero maintenance, even though I don’t have a static IP at home. Here I share how (and why) I persist in this endeavour. Overview This is an overview of the setup: This is how I set up my DNS. I: got a domain from an authority (a .tk domain in my case) set up glue records to defer DNS queries to my nameservers set up nameservers with static IPs set up a dynamic DNS updater from home How? Walking through step-by-step how I did it: 1) Set up two Virtual Private Servers (VPSes) You will need two stable machines with static IP addresses. If you’re not lucky enough to have these in your possession, then you can set one up on the cloud. I used this site, but there are plenty out there. NB I asked them, and their IPs are static per VPS. I use the cheapest cloud VPS (1$/month) and set up debian on there. NOTE: Replace any mention of DNSIP1 and DNSIP2 below with the first and second static IP addresses you are given. Log on and set up root password SSH to the servers and set up a strong root password. 2) Set up domains You will need two domains: one for your dns servers, and one for the application running on your host. I use dot.tk to get free throwaway domains. In this case, I might setup a myuniquedns.tk DNS domain and a myuniquesite.tk site domain. Whatever you choose, replace your DNS domain when you see YOURDNSDOMAIN below. Similarly, replace your app domain when you see YOURSITEDOMAIN below. 3) Set up a ‘glue’ record If you use dot.tk as above, then to allow you to manage the YOURDNSDOMAIN domain you will need to set up a ‘glue’ record. What this does is tell the current domain authority (dot.tk) to defer to your nameservers (the two servers you’ve set up) for this specific domain. Otherwise it keeps referring back to the .tk domain for the IP. See here for a fuller explanation. Another good explanation is here. To do this you need to check with the authority responsible how this is done, or become the authority yourself. dot.tk has a web interface for setting up a glue record, so I used that. There, you need to go to ‘Manage Domains’ => ‘Manage Domain’ => ‘Management Tools’ => ‘Register Glue Records’ and fill out the form. Your two hosts will be called ns1.YOURDNSDOMAIN and ns2.YOURDNSDOMAIN, and the glue records will point to either IP address. Note, you may need to wait a few hours (or longer) for this to take effect. If really unsure, give it a day. If you like this, you might like one of my books: Learn Bash the Hard Way Learn Git the Hard Way Learn Terraform the Hard Way Buy in a bundle here 4) Install bind on the DNS Servers On a Debian machine (for example), and as root, type: apt install bind9 bind is the domain name server software you will be running. 5) Configure bind on the DNS Servers Now, this is the hairy bit. There are two parts this with two files involved: named.conf.local, and the db.YOURDNSDOMAIN file. They are both in the /etc/bind folder. Navigate there and edit these files. Part 1 – named.conf.local This file lists the ‘zone’s (domains) served by your DNS servers. It also defines whether this bind instance is the ‘master’ or the ‘slave’. I’ll assume ns1.YOURDNSDOMAIN is the ‘master’ and ns2.YOURDNSDOMAIN is the ‘slave. Part 1a – the master On the master/ ns1.YOURNDSDOMAIN, the named.conf.local should be changed to look like this: zone "YOURDNSDOMAIN" { type master; file "/etc/bind/db.YOURDNSDOMAIN"; allow-transfer { DNSIP2; }; }; zone "YOURSITEDOMAIN" { type master; file "/etc/bind/YOURDNSDOMAIN"; allow-transfer { DNSIP2; }; }; zone "14.127.75.in-addr.arpa" { type master; notify no; file "/etc/bind/db.75"; allow-transfer { DNSIP2; }; }; logging { channel query.log { file "/var/log/query.log"; // Set the severity to dynamic to see all the debug messages. severity debug 3; }; category queries { query.log; }; }; The logging at the bottom is optional (I think). I added it a while ago, and I leave it in here for interest. I don’t know what the 14.127 zone stanza is about. Part 1b – the slave On the slave/ ns2.YOURNDSDOMAIN, the named.conf.local should be changed to look like this: zone "YOURDNSDOMAIN" { type slave; file "/var/cache/bind/db.YOURDNSDOMAIN"; masters { DNSIP1; }; }; zone "YOURSITEDOMAIN" { type slave; file "/var/cache/bind/db.YOURSITEDOMAIN"; masters { DNSIP1; }; }; zone "14.127.75.in-addr.arpa" { type slave; file "/var/cache/bind/db.75"; masters { DNSIP1; }; }; Part 2 – db.YOURDNSDOMAIN Now we get to the meat – your DNS database is stored in this file. On the master/ ns1.YOURDNSDOMAIN the db.YOURDNSDOMAIN file looks like this: $TTL 4800 @ IN SOA ns1.YOURDNSDOMAIN. YOUREMAIL.YOUREMAILDOMAIN. ( 2018011615 ; Serial 604800 ; Refresh 86400 ; Retry 2419200 ; Expire 604800 ) ; Negative Cache TTL ; @ IN NS ns1.YOURDNSDOMAIN. @ IN NS ns2.YOURDNSDOMAIN. ns1 IN A DNSIP1 ns2 IN A DNSIP2 YOURSITEDOMAIN. IN A YOURDYNAMICIP On the slave/ ns2.YOURDNSDOMAIN it’s very similar, but has ns1 in the SOA line, and the IN NS lines reversed. I can’t remember if this reversal is needed or not…: $TTL 4800 @ IN SOA ns1.YOURDNSDOMAIN. YOUREMAIL.YOUREMAILDOMAIN. ( 2018011615 ; Serial 604800 ; Refresh 86400 ; Retry 2419200 ; Expire 604800 ) ; Negative Cache TTL ; @ IN NS ns1.YOURDNSDOMAIN. @ IN NS ns2.YOURDNSDOMAIN. ns1 IN A DNSIP1 ns2IN A DNSIP2 YOURSITEDOMAIN. IN A YOURDYNAMICIP A few notes on the above: The dots at the end of lines are not typos – this is how domains are written in bind files. So google.com is written google.com. The YOUREMAIL.YOUREMAILDOMAIN. part must be replaced by your own email. For example, my email address: ian.miell@gmail.com becomes ianmiell.gmail.com. . Note also that the dot between first and last name is dropped. email ignores those anyway! YOURDYNAMICIP is the IP address your domain should be pointed to (ie the IP address returned by the DNS server). It doesn’t matter what it is at this point, because…. the next step is to dynamically update the DNS server with your dynamic IP address whenever it changes. 6) Copy ssh keys Before setting up your dynamic DNS you need to set up your ssh keys so that your home server can access the DNS servers. NOTE: This is not security advice. Use at your own risk. First, check whether you already have an ssh key generated: ls ~/.ssh/id_rsa If that returns a file, you’re all set up. Otherwise, type: ssh-keygen and accept the defaults. Then, once you have a key set up, copy your ssh ID to the nameservers: ssh-copy-id root@DNSIP1 ssh-copy-id root@DNSIP2 Inputting your root password on each command. If you like this, you might like one of my books: Learn Bash the Hard Way Learn Git the Hard Way Learn Terraform the Hard Way 7) Create an IP updater script Now ssh to both servers and place this script in /root/update_ip.sh: #!/bin/bash set -o nounset sed -i "s/^ (.) IN A (.)$/1 IN A $1/" /etc/bind/db.YOURDNSDOMAIN sed -i "s/.Serial$/ $ (date +%Y%m%d%H) ; Serial/" /etc/bind/db.YOURDNSDOMAIN /etc/init.d/bind9 restart Make it executable by running: chmod +x /root/update_ip.sh Going through it line by line: set -o nounset This line throws an error if the IP is not passed in as the argument to the script. sed -i "s/^ (.) IN A (.)$/1 IN A $1/" /etc/bind/db.YOURDNSDOMAIN Replaces the IP address with the contents of the first argument to the script. sed -i "s/.Serial$/ $ (date +%Y%m%d%H) ; Serial/" /etc/bind/db.YOURDNSDOMAIN Ups the ‘serial number’ /etc/init.d/bind9 restart Restart the bind service on the host. 8) Cron Your Dynamic DNS At this point you’ve got access to update the IP when your dynamic IP changes, and the script to do the update. Here’s the raw cron entry: * * * * * curl ifconfig.co 2>/dev/null > /tmp/ip.tmp && (diff /tmp/ip.tmp /tmp/ip \|\| (mv /tmp/ip.tmp /tmp/ip && ssh root@DNSIP1 "/root/update_ip.sh $ (cat /tmp/ip)")); curl ifconfig.co 2>/dev/null > /tmp/ip.tmp2 && (diff /tmp/ip.tmp2 /tmp/ip2 \|\| (mv /tmp/ip.tmp2 /tmp/ip2 && ssh root@192.210.238.236 "/root/update_ip.sh $ (cat /tmp/ip2)")) Breaking this command down step by step: curl ifconfig.co 2>/dev/null > /tmp/ip.tmp This curls a ‘what is my IP address’ site, and deposits the output to /tmp/ip.tmp diff /tmp/ip.tmp /tmp/ip \|\| (mv /tmp/ip.tmp /tmp/ip && ssh root@DNSIP1 "/root/update_ip.sh $ (cat /tmp/ip)")) This diffs the contents of /tmp/ip.tmp with /tmp/ip (which is yet to be created, and holds the last-updated ip address). If there is an error (ie there is a new IP address to update on the DNS server), then the subshell is run. This overwrites the ip address, and then ssh’es onto the The same process is then repeated for DNSIP2 using separate files ( /tmp/ip.tmp2 and /tmp/ip2 ). Why!? You may be wondering why I do this in the age of cloud services and outsourcing. There’s a few reasons. It’s Cheap The cost of running this stays at the cost of the two nameservers (24$/year) no matter how many domains I manage and whatever I want to do with them. Learning I’ve learned a lot by doing this, probably far more than any course would have taught me. More Control I can do what I like with these domains: set up any number of subdomains, try my hand at secure mail techniques, experiment with obscure DNS records and so on.

People often talk about culture being the barrier to adoption of DevOps, but they are rarely specific about this. This was succinctly put by Charity Majors here: What to Do? Here I discuss a few things I did to try and change a culture a few years ago in a demoralised and dysfunctional centralised IT team that I managed following the sudden departure of the IT Director. Whether it worked or not I don’t know – you’d have to ask the team (and I was poached a couple of months after I started), but I felt a big difference pretty quickly. 1) Get on the Floor The first thing I did was spend two weeks doing triage of incoming requests. This had a few useful effects. I saw one of the two main pipelines of work into the team The IT team was working on 1) Requests received via tickets and 2) Out-of-band requests from management (“Can you just implement a new video conferencing system? Thanks.”) Getting a handle on 1) was the shortest path to get savings fast, so I started there. Number 2) was going to be a tougher nut to crack (mostly finding ways to say ‘no’ without getting fired). Improving 1) would help with 2). I discovered the triage process was broken The triage process was not serving its purpose. It had been given to a weaker member of staff because no-one else wanted to do it, and he was not adding any value by thinking about what was being presented to him. I put some controls into the process from above and moved the duty around the team. The ticket count dropped by 75% I cut the open tickets by 75% in a week by deduplicating and applying simple call queue techniques to the backlog. Dropping that number didn’t drop the work by 75% (probably more like 30-40%), but it improved morale and focus significantly. I also implemented some of the techniques talked about here to reduce running costs. I was seen as someone who wanted to get involved While I had to be careful not to get into the weeds, by getting my hands dirty my credibility with the team grew. More importantly, I could start to challenge them when I didn’t buy what they were saying. They had become used to pulling out certain excuses for failure. This wasn’t because there were not good reasons, but because they had felt ignored for so long they had stopped trying to engage openly. That culture needed to change, and being able to argue from within was critical to achieving that. 2) Move People to Other Teams One of the things I’m absolutely certain of is that a critical feature of effective complex organisations is that they make people do all the jobs. Only when people have seen things from all angles can they make real and effective adaptations to changing circumstances or effect real change within a complex organisation. There’s an incredibly powerful talk here by John Allspaw where he discusses how the Navy does this to help solve the challenges aircraft carriers face: ‘So you want to understand an aircraft carrier. Imagine a busy day, and you shrink San Francisco airport to one short runway, one ramp, and one gate. Make planes take off and land at the same time at half the present time interval, rock the runway from side to side, and require that everyone that leaves returns that same day. Make sure the equipment is so close to the edge of the envelope that it’s fragile, then turn off the radar to avoid detection, impose strict controls on radios, fuel the aircraft in place with their engines running, have enemies in the air and scatter live bombs and rockets around. Now wet the whole thing down with salt water and oil and man it with 20 year olds, half of whom have never seen a plane close up. Oh, and by the way: try not to kill anyone. (See 19 minutes in for this part of the talk.) I made the IT staff go and sit with the developers for a couple of weeks as soon as I could. The resistance I got to this idea, even among the keen ones, was deeply surprising to me. There was a profound tendency to put others on a pedestal and fear humiliation by going outside their comfort zone. The results, however, were immediate. Relations between teams improved dramatically, and areas of tension that had been bubbling for years got resolved as IT staff had seen things ‘from the other side’, which changed their view of why blockers should be removed, and – equally important – how they could be removed by more creative means that the ‘other side’ could not see. Once staff saw the drivers of frustration, they could implement solutions for the problem itself, and not necessarily what was being asked for. 3) Remove Bad Influences People don’t like to talk about this, but one of the most effective ways to change culture is to fire people. There’s a probably apocryphal story about an Orson Welles trick, where he would get a stooge to show up to work on the first day on a shoot, do something Welles didn’t want, and Welles would fire him. The message to the crew would be unambiguous: my way, or the highway. That’s obviously an extreme example, but I’ve seen the powerful effects of removing people who are obstructing change. That doesn’t mean you don’t follow due process, or give people clear warnings, or help them to mend their ways, but nothing sends a message of ‘I disapprove of this bad behaviour’ better than dealing with it firmly. And check point 6 on this deck about Jeff Bezos’ mandate to change the way Amazon worked: Anyone who doesn’t do this will be fired. One of the first questions I generally ask myself when considering the latest attempt from on high to bring cultural change to my group is: what changes here that gets me fired? 4) Take Responsibility for Hiring As with firing, who comes into the team is vital. I was shocked to discover that it was not considered standard to have the overall manager personally vet new hires. While I didn’t know my Active Directory from my LDAP, I did know the difference between a bright young thing and an irritating know-all, so I took responsibility for any new hires. I deferred to my colleagues on knowledge calls, but that was not often a deciding factor either way. Far more important was how useful they would make themselves. 5) Take Responsibility for Training There’s a great quote from Andy Grove, founder of Intel about training: Training is the manager’s job. Training is the highest leverage activity a manager can do to increase the output of an organization. If a manager spends 12 hours preparing training for 10 team members that increases their output by 1% on average, the result is 200 hours of increased output from the 10 employees (each works about 2000 hours a year). Don’t leave training to outsiders, do it yourself. And training isn’t just about being in a room and explaining things to people – it’s about getting in the field and showing people how to respond to problems, how to think about things, and where they need to go next. The point is: take ownership of it. I personally trained people in things like Git and Docker and basic programming whenever I got the chance to. This can demystify these skills and empower your staff to go further. It also sends a message about what’s important – if the boss spends time on triage, training and hiring, then they must be important. Anything else? What have you done to change culture in a group?

Missouri Compromise Mexican War Compromise of 1850 Kansas - Nebraska Act Bleeding Kansas/Pottawatomie Massacre Dred-Scott Supreme Court Case Lincoln-Douglas Debates Uncle Tom's Cabin John Brown's Raid on Harper's Ferry Election of Abraham Lincoln Quiz Mexican War -The Mexican War was a war fought over the acquisitions of new lands. The war was an easy victory for the U.S. They issued the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which gave almost half of Mexico to America for about $15 million. The Mexican cession included Texas, California, and New Mexico. -Major figures during this event were James K. Polk, U.S. president who declared war with Mexico, Zachery Taylor, the general who marched to the Nueces river to defend Texas, Button Text and Santa Anna, head of the Mexican Military. -The Mexican War once again brought up the issue of slavery. The question of the expansion of slavery gripped the nation with the Mexican cession, with whether slavery would be outlawed in the territory or not. -Sectionalism continues to divide the nation as the question of slavery being allowed in the Mexican cession became a problem. -The results of the Mexican War helped spark secession in the South because the North did not want to allow slavery in the territories won. The Wilmot Proviso was created and it banned slavery in the cession, but it did not pass.	msmarco_doc_59_1042908791

The Hyper-Threading support allows two threads to run simultaneously on each core -- Windows recognizes 36 total cores on the Z4, 18 real and 18 virtual. It also supports "Turbo Boost" which automatically boosts the processor speed based on workload - so if an application is only using one of the 18 cores it will automatically increase the speed of the core in use and turn off the unused cores.

The Hyper-Threading support allows two threads to run simultaneously on each core -- Windows recognizes up to 112 logical cores on the Z8, 56 real and 56 virtual. It also supports "Turbo Boost" which automatically boosts the processor speed based on workload - so if an application is only using one of the 56 cores it will automatically increase the speed of the core in use and turn off the unused cores.

It supports Hyper-Threading which allows two threads to run simultaneously on each core -- so the operating system recognizes 24 total cores on this model, 12 real and 12 virtual. It also supports "Turbo Boost" which automatically boosts the processor speed based on workload - so if an application is only using 2 of the 12 cores it will automatically increase the speed of the cores in use and turn off the unused cores. 6-Core 2.66GHz Intel Xeon "Westmere" X5650 [6-cores / 12-threads] more info Single $ Dual $ 6-Core 2.93GHz Intel Xeon "Westmere" X5670 [6-cores / 12-threads] more info Single $ Dual $ 6-Core 3.33GHz Intel Xeon "Westmere" X5680 [6-cores / 12-threads] more info Single $ Dual $ 6-Core 3.46GHz Intel Xeon "Westmere" X5690 [6-cores / 12-threads] more info Single $ Dual $ Memory The Z800 has 12 DIMM slots supporting up to 192GB DDR3 ECC Memory.

GPU-accelerated computing offers application performance by offloading compute-intensive portions of the application to the GPU, while the remainder of the code still runs on the CPU. From a user's perspective, applications simply run significantly faster. "Solve your most demanding High-Performance Computing (HPC) challenges with NVIDIA Tesla family of GPUs. They’re built on the NVIDIA Kepler™ compute architecture and powered by NVIDIA CUDA®, the world’s most pervasive parallel computing model. This makes them ideal for delivering record acceleration and more efficient compute performance for big data applications in fields including seismic processing; computational biology and chemistry; weather and climate modeling; image, video and signal processing; computational finance, computational physics; CAE and CFD; and data analytics." -NVIDIA None $ 0 NVIDIA Tesla K20 5GB + $ 1,250 NVIDIA Tesla K40 12GB + $ 2,750 Port Expansion Add-on Cards Enhance your workstation with port expansion cards. eSATA (6GB/s; dual port) + $ 50 USB 3.1 USB-C (10GB/s \| Dual port \| PCIe) + $ 75 Firewire 800 (three port) + $ 100 HP Thunderbolt 2 (20GB/s; one port) + $ 200 more info AJA \| Blackmagic Design None $ 0 AJA Kona 4 \| PCIe Connectivity Card + $ 2,250 more info AJA Kona 5 \| PCIe Connectivity Card + $ 3,500 more info Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro 4K + $ 250 more info Blackmagic Design Decklink SDI 4K - Capture & Playback Card + $ 350 more info Blackmagic Design DeckLink 4K Studio - Capture & Playback Card + $ 750 more info Blackmagic Design DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G - Capture & Playback Card + $ 1,250 more info Blackmagic Design Decklink 8K Pro - 8K Capture & Playback Card + $ 800 more info 10Gb Ethernet The Z840 comes standard with dual Gigabit Ethernet ports.

Systolic Blood Pressure The force against the artery wall just after the heart beats. It is the higher of the two blood pressure numbers. Force Energy that affects a body or causes one body to affect another (e.g., the energy of muscles results in movement of the legs and subsequent movement of the total body). Laws of Motion Rules or principles that explain the movement of an object as a result of the application of force. They are derived primarily from Newton’s three laws of motion and can be applied in a variety of physical activity and sport settings. FITT formulaA formula in which each letter represents a factor important for determining the correct amount of physical activity: F = frequency; I = intensity; T = time; T = type. Frequency How often physical activity is performed; part of the FITT formula. Intensity How hard a person performs physical activity; part of the FITT formula.

Target Fitness Zone The correct range of physical activity to build fitness. Threshold of Training The minimum amount of overload one needs to build physical fitness. Maturation The process of becoming fully grown and developed physically. Motor Skill Another word for skill. “Motor” is used before the word “skill” because your “motor” nerves cause your muscles to contract when you perform a specific skill. Self-Management Skills Skills used by a person to take control of his or her lifestyle or behavior to stay physically active.

CholesterolA fatlike substance found in animal cells and some foods, such as meats, dairy products, and egg yolks. Fibrin An elongated sticky cell in the blood that helps the blood clot; too much fibrin is implicated in the development of atherosclerosis. High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) A substance often referred to as "good cholesterol" because it carries excess cholesterol out of the bloodstream and into the liver for elimination from the body. Lipoproteins Substances that carry cholesterol through the bloodstream. Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) A substance often referred to as "bad cholesterol" because it carries cholesterol that is most likely to deposit in the arteries. Respiratory SystemThe body system including the lungs and air passages that functions by bringing oxygen into the bloodstream and eliminating carbon dioxide from the blood. Vein A blood vessel that carries blood filled with waste products from the body cells back to the heart. Active Aerobic ActivityAerobic activity done at an intensity that raises the heart rate above the threshold into the target zone; many less-intensive activities are aerobic (such as typing, walking, and washing the dishes) but are not considered active aerobics. Aerobic Activity Steady activity in which the heart can supply all the oxygen the muscles need. Anaerobic Activity Physical activity done in short, fast bursts in which the heart cannot supply oxygen as fast as muscles use it. Active Aerobics Aerobic physical activities that are of enough intensity to cause improvement in cardiovascular fitness. Aerobics Physical activities for which the body can supply adequate oxygen to allow performance to continue for long periods of time. Circuit Training A type of physical activity program in which the person performs a group of exercises in a sequence with brief rests between exercises.

Proven Standard Number of possible keys But what if there are secret computers with more power than TaihuLight? Quantum safe Hardware Want to know more? Subscribe to our newsletter	AES 256 Hardware Encryption - Safe and Secure Encryption AES 256 Hardware Encryption AES 256 Hardware Encryption The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a symmetric block cipher. A cipher is a method for converting data from an unencrypted into an encrypted format. The encrypted data is also referred to as cipher text. What is the Advanced Encryption Standard? A block cipher operated on blocks of individually encrypted data that are encrypted individually. In the case of AES a block is 128 bits, which is equal to 16 bytes. Symmetric means that the same key is used to encrypt and decrypt data. AES is available in variants with different key lengths: 128 bit, 192 bit, and 256 bit key. The longer the key is the higher is the level of security. Proven Standard The Advanced Encryption Standard is a standard ratified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the year 2000 as a replacement for the Data Encryption Standard (DES) from 1977. AES was later approved as the FIPS standard, is included in ISO/IEC 18033-3 and is the only publicly available cipher approved by NSA for communication at top secret level. Number of possible keys Currently, no significant weaknesses have been found in AES. This means brute force is the only existing way of attacking it. Brute force can also be described as the method of trial and error: every possible key is tried until the correct one is found. So how long would it take to find the key? From June 2017 the world’s fastest supercomputer has been TaihuLight. It performs ~ 100 petaFLOPs or 1.0E17 operations per second. The AES 256 key space is 2^256 ~= 1.1E77. For a full key space search, TaihuLight would need in the order of 1.1E77/1.0E17 = 1E60 seconds. But it would not be able to complete the task! In a much shorter time – in 3.7E17 second – Earth would have been swallowed by the Sun, which would have become a red dwarf. But what if there are secret computers with more power than TaihuLight? Let us assume the unthinkable: that we were able to design a computer with the performance of TaihuLight from just one atom and that we transformed every atom of Earth into such a computer: Earth is estimated to consist of 1E50 atoms. With that many supercomputers, the 256 bit key space could be traversed in 1E10 seconds or 316 years. So even with the help of a computer that we cannot imagine it would take more than a lifetime to make use of brute force against AES 256. Quantum safe The emergence of Quantum computers will change the cryptography landscape. When sufficiently large quantum computers become available, Grover’s algorithm will allow the key place to search in O (sqrt (n)) time. When quantum technology becomes available, AES 256 will have the same security level as AES 128 has today. Hardware Basically, AES 256 is available as software or hardware implementation. Hardware implementation allows for increased security and performance compared to software. Hardware AES 256 can perform 10Gbps without significant latency. Hardware encryption is typically much less complex than similar software encryption. And reduced complexity can be translated into less vulnerability to malware and errors. Want to know more?

Ethereum (ETH) 2. Tezos (XTZ) 3. Litecoin (LTC) 4. Stellar Lumens (XLM) 5. XRP 6. ICON (ICX) 7. Cardano (ADA)	7 Cryptocurrencies Expected To Boom In 2020 ⋆ ZyCrypto Altcoins Cryptocurrency News 7 Cryptocurrencies Expected To Boom In 2020 By Mr Oak - February 4, 2020 10906 Share Twitter ReddIt Telegram WhatsApp Advertisement 2020 promises to be a good year for the cryptocurrency market. With many high anticipated developments planned to take place, investors and experts are expecting nothing but all ‘greens’ this year. Of course, the crypto market will again see the influx of new digital coins all with the aim of making it to the top. Many cryptocurrencies have been projected to excel this year and this piece sheds light on a few of them. 1. Ethereum (ETH) Ethereum has been bitcoin’s biggest challenger for the most part of its crypto journey. The digital coin, however, has failed to impress over the past few months, but many experts believe this is about to change. Its dApp processing platform raked in over 1.4 million users last year, of which 1.28 million were new users with the remaining number, returning users. Ethereum’s network use has evolved over the past years and its adoption rate is also on the high. Many experts are predicting a big year for the digital coin. 2. Tezos (XTZ) Tezos’s underlying technology which is supported by an on-chain governance system takes its proof of stake technology to the next level. Its ecosystem, according to experts is on course to become a major public infrastructure, after major bodies expressed interest in it. The digital coin is currently ranked 11th and is trading at $1.98 but expected to climb up to $12 by the end of the year. 3. Litecoin (LTC) Litecoin was one of the best-performing coins last year and is expected to carry on with that superb form this year. With its Lightning network already up and running, LTC will be interchangeable with Bitcoin. Litecoin has always been seen as the superior coin over Bitcoin in terms of Technology, as its platform is ready to serve as a global payment network, something that Bitcoin cannot offer. Advertisement Its price is expected to double this year, with other experts believing that, the digital coin will achieve a whopping 440% rise before the end of the year. Currently trading at $69.70, the coin is amongst the top options for investment this year. 4. Stellar Lumens (XLM) Stellar Lumens is projected to conquer the market in 2020 with regards to remittance payments, ICO’s on its network, cross-border payments in small banks and other financial institutions, decentralized exchanges such as SDEX and the implementation of the lightning network. Although Ripple’s XRP will dominate in the big bank circle, as well as Solaris, powering past Stellar (now 5 times larger than Stellar in terms of market share), Stellar Lumens is projected to run the other aspects which put them in the same league as the aforementioned digital coins. 5. XRP Undoubtedly the leading coin in terms of banking infrastructure, Ripple looks set to achieve more this year. With a partnership with Worldwide financial services powerhouse, Western Union and projected deals lined up from Moneygram, the digital coin is going to maintain its spot as the go-to coin in terms of banking. The digital coin is reportedly going to achieve over 380% this year and with its price currently at $0.25, it is one of the coins to keep tabs on. 6. ICON (ICX) ICON seeks to connect crypto to the real world by building the largest decentralized network that will enable users to communicate between diverse blockchains and is going to be a convenient platform that will serve institutional and retail investors. ICX token is currently trading at $0.52 and this price is expected to hit the $5 mark this year, thus according to predictions. 7. Cardano (ADA) Cardano started the year on a strong note, moving from $0.033 at the start of the month to currently trading at $0.056. Even though its adoption rate is still lacking behind, the coin is expected to change around this year. The launching of the Goguen Project and the KEVM testnet is expected to give the coin a push. Cardano’s 47% rise in the opening stage of the year makes a strong case for a bullish run this year. Ads by Cointraffic	msmarco_doc_59_1043117137
https://zycrypto.com/bitcoin-stock-to-flow-creator-explains-why-he-conceals-his-true-identity/	Bitcoin Stock-to-Flow Creator Explains Why He Conceals His True Identity ⋆ ZyCrypto	Bitcoin Stock-to-Flow Creator Explains Why He Conceals His True Identity Bitcoin Stock-to-Flow Creator Explains Why He Conceals His True Identity Two Reasons Why PlanB Remains Anonymous PlanB’s Employer Views Bitcoin The Same Way As Goldman Sachs PlanB Will Go Dark If BTC Price Crosses The Six-Figure Mark	Bitcoin Stock-to-Flow Creator Explains Why He Conceals His True Identity ⋆ ZyCrypto Bitcoin News Bitcoin Stock-to-Flow Creator Explains Why He Conceals His True Identity By Brenda Ngari - May 28, 2020 966 Share Twitter ReddIt Telegram WhatsApp Advertisement The identity of the enigmatic person who created the well-known bitcoin stock-to-flow price forecasting model remains mysterious. The quant analyst who goes by the name PlanB gained popularity after he used the stock-to-flow (S2F) model to predict the value of bitcoin by determining the asset’s scarcity. PlanB recently released a revamped version of the S2F model, known as the bitcoin stock-to-flow cross-asset model or S2FX. Based on this new model, bitcoin should hit $288,000 by 2024. Notably, this analyst has managed to keep his identity hidden as he has never revealed his face or real name. In a recent interview, he gives reasons why he has kept his identity a secret. Two Reasons Why PlanB Remains Anonymous In an interview with In Gold We Trust, the analyst notes that one of the reasons why he has kept his identity hidden is because of his regular job. “I am both an analyst and investor at an investment office of a large institutional investor in the Netherlands. As a team, we invest USD 50+ billion AUM. My main focus is on mortgages, loans, and structured finance. I do not want my employer to have any negative consequences from my Bitcoin ‘hobby’. Advertisement The analyst then pointed out that remaining anonymous is “good operational security”. As such, he has no intention of revealing his true identity in the near future. His bitcoin price predictions based on the stock-to-flow have been largely welcomed by bitcoin enthusiasts. But, they have also drawn criticism from a few crypto analysts who feel they are too optimistic and do not take bitcoin’s demand into account. In his interview, PlanB argued that such people using the demand argument to criticize his BTC stock-to-flow model are plainly ignorant as there are other famous pricing models like the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) that don’t use an asset’s demand and they still give good predictions. PlanB’s Employer Views Bitcoin The Same Way As Goldman Sachs PlanB also recently commented about the investor call held by Goldman Sachs on Wednesday that set the cryptosphere abuzz. In its presentation, the investment bank warns its clients against investing in bitcoin “on a strategic or tactical basis”. Predictably, most ardent crypto lovers were less than impressed with Goldman’s analysis including Tyler Winklevoss and Blockstream co-founder Adam Back, as ZyCrypto reported earlier. Meanwhile, PlanB quipped that Goldman’s unequivocal thoughts on bitcoin rhyme with those of his current employer. “…it is not just GS. GS presentation is how my employer and many other institutions look at bitcoin: too volatile, a bubble, tulip mania (of course no log scale..), can be hacked (refer to QuadrigaCX..), ponzi, darknet, illicit, ransomware, money laundering etc. Long way to go!”, PlanB said on Twitter. PlanB Will Go Dark If BTC Price Crosses The Six-Figure Mark Speaking in a podcast interview earlier this month, PlanB stated that he will definitely “go dark” if his BTC price prognostications come true — as if being anonymous was not enough. His argument was that a giga bull market that puts bitcoin at $288k or more would have geopolitical implications. “I will go dark if the model is successful because if the model is successful, it will not be a pretty picture. It will be nasty, it will (be) maybe war — people have Bitcoins, some people don’t have Bitcoin, it’ll be some countries have Bitcoins, some won’t have Bitcoins, it will be the U.S. dollar losing its reserve status, it will be geopolitical, it will be military.” It should be noted that PlanB is not alone. Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous bitcoin inventor, has also remained completely anonymous. Ads by Cointraffic	msmarco_doc_59_1043121816

Revolutionary Transaction Protocol XRP Is Affordable Great Team Banks Are Friendly to XRP Low Fees Fast-Growing Company Ripple Isn’t Overestimated Large Market Cap Future of Money Remittances Great ROI Ratio Tech Analysis Ratings Perfect for Long-Term Investing In Closing	Is Ripple's XRP A Good Investment In 2019 ⋆ ZyCrypto Cryptocurrency News Is Ripple’s XRP A Good Investment In 2019 By Livine Sanchez - June 26, 2019 3527 Advertisement Tips on Investing in Ripple If you’ve been following the cryptocurrency market over the past couple of years, the names Ripple and XRP probably sound familiar. In 2018, the token briefly replaced Ethereum as the second largest cryptocurrency which came as a surprise to many. However, with the recent volatility of the market, XRP has stabilized as the third position. So, what made XRP so popular? How did the token pop up on the top of the cryptocurrency list, and how did it manage to gain a huge fan base? Advertisement In this article, we will analyze the factors that helped the token become popular and give recommendations as to whether it is worth investing in Ripple. What is Ripple? The word “Ripple” is often mistakenly used when referring to the XRP token. Ripple represents Ripple Labs, the company responsible for developing and promoting the RTXP (Ripple Transaction Protocol). Unlike Bitcoin cryptocurrency, which is more commonly seen as a store of value, Ripple aims to become the go-to international transactions provider. To do this, the platform uses its own currency but also allows others to create their own (crypto) currencies. So, what is XRP then? XRP is the token of the Ripple Network. It is used as a meditation tool to exchange digital assets and currencies quickly and easily. Say, you want to send dollars to your friend who wants to receive euros. The network converts your tokens into XRP and then converts it into EUR. With the Ripple network, the payment takes only 3-4 seconds. In order to make transactions via Ripple, companies, and banks do not need to posses XRP. The conversion is made automatically, the company keeps enough tokens in reserve. The XRP coins also can be traded on multiple cryptocurrencies independently of the Ripple network. Based on the above we should differentiate the two terms — Ripple and XRP. The former stands for the system and the cryptocurrency platform that provides quick and cheap worldwide transactions, and the latter is the fuel, the currency that makes it possible. And if you see somewhere people saying that they “buy and sell Ripple,” just know that they mean XRP… Is Ripple/XRP Good for Investing? There is no clear answer to this question. There are people who have very skeptical views on this issue. David Schwartz claims that the Ripple network is decentralized, while Vitalik Buterin claims that there is too much control from the side of the company. However, this provides more benefits than disadvantages: Since Ripple is a centralized entity, it can easily be trusted from financial institutions; Yes, the company can cancel your transaction, as they did with the Jed McCaleb, but this also strengthens the network’s security and fraud protection; The company keeps a significant number of coins in an escrow. They are not available for trading. Together with the inability to mine new coins, this minimizes the risk of inflation. In my personal opinion, XRP is worth investing it and here is why: Revolutionary Transaction Protocol Ripple has invented its transaction protocol in order to make transactions between banks simpler and faster. Ripple payment protocol allows sending tokens that support fiat money and cryptocurrencies, other assets, and even information. It excludes all intermediaries and employs the digital channel. This channel is open to both parties of the deal, thus, as long as there is a mutual agreement — the transaction is valid. This is the key principle of the Ripple network. Instead of a blockchain protocol with miners, the newer ledger requires the consensus of its users to confirm transactions. So, why is the transaction protocol a reason for investing? Ripple handles 1500 transactions per second, and with certain improvements can speed up to 50,000 TPS. As it was said before, one transaction takes less than 4 seconds. It is useful for banks and companies. It is safe. It is the best way to transfer any currencies and valuables between banks, companies, and regular users. All the reasons presented above increase XRP’s investment potential. XRP Is Affordable Even when it reached its highest value, XRP cost less than 4 USD. After the significant downturn in the market during 2018, the price had dropped lower than 40 cents per coin. This currently makes XRP the cheapest cryptocurrency among the top 5. Right now, Bitcoin is back in its growth phase. All other tokens may follow this tendency, including XRP. After all, the token has once shown a twenty-fold soar in a month, so why wouldn’t it do so again? If this happens, the potential profits can be immense. And while the same can be said for any other cryptocurrency, it has been observed that coins with a very low value have the potential to grow many more times than, for example, Bitcoin. Finally, it is important to keep the investor’s psychology in mind as well. Newcomers often want to buy a whole coin, not only a part of it. This is why XRP will increase in demand once the market shows signs of a new bull run. Great Team Ripple Labs was formerly known as OpenCoin. Founded in 2012 by cryptocurrency activists Chris Larsen and Jed McCaleb, Ripple has a great team of talented crypto and fintech experts. Their previous work includes companies in the likes of Yahoo, AOL, MasterCard, SWIFT, CNN, the National Security Agency, and more. At this moment, they are developing new products for Ripple, such as xCurrent and xRapid. Their cooperation results in new well-known customers. To name but a few, MoneyGram, Western Union, Guallix, and many others, have partnered with Ripple. Banks Are Friendly to XRP Bitcoin enthusiasts often claim that the blockchain will make banks useless. Ripple, however, wants to create a viable solution where financial institutions and cryptocurrencies can work together. And, judging from their progress in the last few years, they are on the right path. When companies and regular users send money via SWIFT, one transaction costs dollars, while the same transfer via Ripple costs cents. Large companies make thousands of transactions yearly, this is why they want them cheap. With Ripple, they save hundreds of thousands of dollars. Banks that have partnered with Ripple can provide such advantageous services to their clients. This is why over 200 major financial institutions had joined the Ripple network by January 2019: PNC Bank, the 9th biggest bank in the USA. Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, or simply BBVA, one of the largest banking groups in the world, headquartered in Spain. Bank of America. Cambridge Global Payments. Euro Exim Bank. JP Morgan. American Express. Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken, or SEB, the leading financial group from Sweden. The Financial Transactions Control Systems, also from Scandinavia. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group from Japan, and lots of others. Banks like the idea of using Ripple due to its regulatory-compliant architecture. They are more likely to work with low-risk platforms that are centralized. Low Fees Low fees are good for banks and their clients. Users will have the opportunity to ditch banks transfers with high commissions and go with low-fee Ripple transactions. As a result, financial institutions can make their service cheaper, and thus attract more customers. The more partners that join the network — the higher is the demand for XRP, which results in XRP becoming a good investment. In addition, the speed of money remittance within Ripple is significantly higher than in Bitcoin or SWIFT. It complements the low transaction costs, and also makes it more advantageous both for banking institutions, regular users and XRP holders. These two factors are one of Ripple’s fundamental benefits. To be more exact, the average transaction does not take more than four seconds and the system’s capacity exceeds 50,000 transactions per second. And the commission for this service is significantly lower than any other payment method. Fast-Growing Company Ripple Labs Inc. is constantly expanding. It inevitably grows together with its popularity and XRP’s acceptance. They open new affiliates in Europe and Asia and involve more and more companies from different countries. When entering the country, the Ripple team tries to contract the leading financial entities there, like CIMB Group in Japan or BBVA in Europe. The company attracts two-three new partners every week, says Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple’s CEO. Near 100 financial institutions have partnered with Ripple in 2018. Today, the growth rates promise only to increase. Ripple Isn’t Overestimated Although Ripple has been on the market since 2012, which is a rather long life for cryptos, it has never known such hype as Bitcoin or Ethereum. Only recently has it gained popularity and gotten to the front pages of various websites and magazines. Ripple’s potential is notably underrated. Most users and customers see it only as a money transfers provider and forget that: It can be used to transmit information as well. It can substitute banks where people have no access to regular banking services. Ripple is the ideal system for business-to-business communication. It can find its use in gambling, media, identity, real estate, etc. As you can see, the technology that forms the basis of the Ripple network has more uses. Large Market Cap The market capitalization greatly influences the stability of cryptocurrency charts. This is the first thing any investor should look at before making any decisions. When the market cap is low, it is easy to drop the price of tokens, or artificially inflate it. An extremely low total value of the cryptocurrency may be the sign of its impending death. Ripple shows the opposite trend lately. It has the third highest capitalization among cryptos and has held this position for a long while. This is a huge reason to obtain XRP, as it proves its high demand, and promises high profits after the network grows. Future of Money Remittances The growth of the XRP network increases the potential of having more financial companies sign up to it. Usually, these companies already have partnerships with global money remittances. They choose Ripple as a more beneficial, faster, and cheaper way to perform their services. What could be the result of this cooperation? When more and more banks and money transfer providers connect to Ripple, it could eventually become the largest payment provider in the world. Think, if Western Union and MoneyGram have decided to join, it means this system is a real future. Moreover, it can compete with applications such as PayPal and other online payment systems. This makes XRP a solid cryptocurrency to invest in. Great ROI Ratio The return on investment ratio is very important for those who invest in cryptocurrency. Speaking of XRP, there is a lot of upside potential to experience a higher ROI ratio than that of Bitcoin. Let’s see how we estimate the potential ROI ratings: Take the all-time high (ATH) of the cryptocurrency, and compare it with the current price. Now calculate how much your funds will appreciate of XRP sees its all-time high again. Your coins’ value will increase 10-fold, while with Bitcoin it is only around 400%. If you want to become rich with BTC, in 2019, you’ll likely need a small fortune. XRP may be less popular, but it can bring huge returns if its price decides to increase like 2017. Of course, these are only forecasts. The cryptocurrency market is rather unpredictable, but skilled investors pay attention to such things as well. Tech Analysis Ratings The technical analysis ratings use a more complex approach in order to predict the future price of the cryptocurrency. We need to observe the daily fluctuation of the charts during the past two years and see the tops and bottoms of the price. Then, we’ll take the lowest bottoms and see how high the coin increased in value after they recovered. The calculations are rather complicated, so there is no need to go in further detail here. The interesting thing is that according to the tech analysis, the next ATH of XRP may be 20 USD per coin. This is a huge number and a very good sign for investors. Perfect for Long-Term Investing Everything mentioned above makes XRP a perfect investment tool for long-term investments. The price will increase as demand grows and the acceptance of the network widens, too. Yes, this cryptocurrency suffers the same problems as all other tokens on the market. But it also has significant differences — it is more protected by the company that runs the network. It is more friendly to regulators, thus cooperating with financial institutions and governments will be easier. Stability is sometimes better than revolutionary changes. When you know that the asset will not just devalue and disappear for no reason, you want to invest in it for the long run, simply because it is a reliable way to store money. In Closing Now, after you know more about Ripple and XRP, you’ll be able to invest wisely. Remember, that you should always make your own research before making any investment decisions, and understand what you do. This article will help you compare the Ripple token with other cryptos. Let’s summarize and recollect all the reasons why Ripple is good for investing: It’s a unique protocol that enables transactions all over the world and helps users send all kinds of assets. Low cost and high speed of transactions. Hundreds of reputable partners and investors. Experienced and talented developers. Safety. The company grows quickly and develops novel advanced methods of money remittance. XRP has a huge potential for growth, too. After reading this, you know all its pros and cons, its history, how it works, and why banks love it. You can find the same information about any altcoin, and decide what you want to invest in. XRP is a good choice because it wins the competition in many ways — it works faster and cheaper, makes friends with financial authorities, and it is based on a smarter technology, than most of the cryptos. It does not mean, though, that you should swap all your funds for XRP. It is better to hold multiple assets in a basket to minimize risks. And Ripple’s XRP coins can be one of the profitable positions in your portfolio.

Coinbase Rumored To Be Doing Backend Work To Relist XRP ⋆ ZyCrypto	Road To Redemption? Coinbase Rumored To Be Doing Backend Work To Relist XRP Road To Redemption? Coinbase Rumored To Be Doing Backend Work To Relist XRP Rumor Alleges Coinbase Has Began Backend Work To Relist XRP Exchanges Relisting XRP Would Not Be Contravening Any Formal Law	Road To Redemption? Coinbase Rumored To Be Doing Backend Work To Relist XRP ⋆ ZyCrypto Cryptocurrency News XRP Road To Redemption? Coinbase Rumored To Be Doing Backend Work To Relist XRP By Brenda Ngari - April 3, 2021 18793 Share Twitter ReddIt Telegram WhatsApp Advertisement There’s some talk about San Francisco-headquartered crypto exchange Coinbase bringing back XRP trading on its platform. However, since a community member posted a tweet on April 2 about the major U.S. exchange relisting XRP, there has been no positive confirmation on the matter — yet. Rumor Alleges Coinbase Has Began Backend Work To Relist XRP In December 2020, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged Ripple and its top executives Brad Garlinghouse and Chris Larsen with conducting unregistered securities offering — XRP being the unregistered security in this case. In response to the $1.3 billion lawsuit, many exchanges and trading platforms including Coinbase halted XRP trading while others delisted the cryptocurrency en masse. The rumour mill began to churn when a Twitter user going by the name Krish xrp hinted that Coinbase could be readying to relist Ripple’s embattled digital asset. While attaching the photo evidence that can be seen below, Krish xrp noted that backend work is already underway. Hello #XRPcommunity Finally Coinbase started doing there backend work to #RelistXRP https://t.co/dRCxjAKahL #XRP pic.twitter.com/Q26j7F2k4J — 𝐊𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐱𝐫𝐩 ∞ (@TagXRP) April 2, 2021 Predictably, this post attracted the attention of the XRP Army who are excited about a possible relisting by Coinbase. Overall, it’s giving hope to XRP investors that more major crypto exchanges could follow suit and resume XRP trading. Exchanges Relisting XRP Would Not Be Contravening Any Formal Law Last month, there was a positive development in the case of SEC vs Ripple. At a virtual hearing over the SEC’s request to acquire the personal finance records of Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Chairman Chris Larsen, attorney Jeremy Hogan pointed out that there were some surprising comments made. Advertisement The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) inadvertently indicated that cryptocurrency exchanges that recommence the trading of XRP would not be violating any laws. In particular, the agency noted that under Section 4 of the Securities Act, only Ripple and its affiliates are liable for illegal XRP sales. Shortly afterward, #RelistXRP was trending on Twitter in countries like the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom. The online campaign is aimed at persuading crypto exchanges worldwide that had delisted XRP to relist the token. Ads by Cointraffic	msmarco_doc_59_1043142298
https://zycrypto.com/top-3-cryptocurrencies-poised-to-be-highest-gainers-in-2021/	Top 3 cryptocurrencies poised to be highest gainers in 2021 ⋆ ZyCrypto	Top 3 cryptocurrencies poised to be highest gainers in 2021 Top 3 cryptocurrencies poised to be highest gainers in 2021 Bitcoin (BTC) Ethereum (ETH) Yearn.finance (YFI)	Top 3 cryptocurrencies poised to be highest gainers in 2021 ⋆ ZyCrypto Cryptocurrency News Top 3 cryptocurrencies poised to be highest gainers in 2021 By Adrian Klent - January 8, 2021 5419 Share Twitter ReddIt Telegram WhatsApp Advertisement When it comes to the cryptocurrency market, there’s a myriad of price-determining factors. These factors which are mainly fundamental and technical are contributors to the highly volatile state of the crypto-market. Regardless, they still present us with significant signals. One of such is the most promising cryptocurrencies and in 2021, keeping up with the best players is an essential investment guide. Although there’s a handful of promising cryptocurrencies in the market, the top three listed below have repeatedly outperformed in previous years and are showing great potential for the nearest future. Bitcoin (BTC) Bitcoin is one of the best performing cryptocurrencies of 2021, even though we’re just a week into the new year. The cryptocurrency surged nearly 700% from 2020 and has since maintained its spot as a top gainer. The highest ever Bitcoin price is $41,941.56 and was attained 5 hours ago. BTCUSD Chart By TradingView Although at press time, Bitcoin trades slightly lower at $39,986, analysts insist that a dip below $20,000 is highly unlikely. According to on-chain price metrics and other indicators, Bitcoin prediction for 2021 is extremely bullish. BTC is predicted to close at $100,000 by the end of the year, a 222% price increase should this come to fruition. Ethereum (ETH) Ethereum (ETH) like Bitcoin, is already on an extremely bullish path. The second most valued cryptocurrency has already broken new levels. Unlike most altcoins, ETH is said to have an “unfair advantage” seeing that the cryptocurrency is built on the same blockchain that carries the highly talked about DeFi tokens. ETH rallied by 300% in 2020, thanks to the DeFi buzz. Ethereum’s network upgrade which promises a cheaper transaction fee and a faster transaction time could send ETH to never-before-seen highs. Advertisement ETHUSD Chart By TradingView Ethereum’s highest price in 2021 is currently $1,280. A 25% upsurge will send Ethereum moving above its $1,433 2017 all-time high. Ethereum upgrade, coupled with increased investor interest is likely to send the cryptocurrency above $2,000 before the end of the year. Yearn.finance (YFI) The newcomer on the list is not so new as far as a bull rally is concerned. Yearn.Finance’s press time price of $32,292, although a sizeable decline from YFI’s $43,873 record high is still reasonably commendable, for a cryptocurrency that was launched in less than six months. As DeFi’s billion-dollar value continues to rise, so will the $600 million worth of crypto-assets staked on yearn. Fundamentally, DeFi is already well-positioned for a groundbreaking rally. YFIUSD Chart By TradingView Other high-performing cryptocurrencies like Chainlink (LINK), Wrapped BTC, Litecoin (LTC) to name a few, are also poised for a massive rally in 2021.

But education and understanding can help get to the bottom of the pain, so you can return to the life you love. Where is my SI Joint and Why Does it Hurt? The first key to understanding SI joint pain is understanding the anatomy. SI stands for Sacro-Iliac. There are two Sacroiliac (SI) joints in your body, located on either side of the triangle-shaped bone at the bottom of your spine where it connects to your pelvis. The SI joints are a shock absorber for your spine and provide stability for your body as you run, walk, or jump. Interestingly enough, the SI joints usually don’t move more than 2 – 4 millimeters themselves. But each one contains many nerve endings that can cause significant pain if the joint is damaged or loses its ability to move properly. Everyday wear and tear, arthritis, or a single injury can damage these joints, changing their normal movement and creating chronic and sometimes debilitating SI joint pain that often, generally feels like low back pain. SI joint pain overview When SI Joint Pain Becomes Chronic Chronic SI joint pain is defined as pain originating from a problem with one or both of the SI joints which has lasted for three months or longer. But the connection between low back pain and the symptoms associated with a condition called Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Dysfunction are not always obvious to the people suffering from them, or to treating physicians. When it comes to chronic low back pain, the cause is a problem with an SI joint in about 20% of cases. 1 That number rises to 30% in low back pain patients with a previous lumbar fusion. 2 If you’re among them, learning about SI joint pain causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment options can help you find the relief you need. Symptoms of SI Joint Pain How do you know if the pain you’re feeling is being caused by an SI joint problem? There are some common symptoms: Low back pain: Usually a dull ache on one side of your lower back that may extend into the thigh. It is usually below the L5, or lowest lumbar vertebrae. Buttock Pain: Pain can range from an ache to a sharp stabbing pain that extends down one or both legs. Low Back Pain While Climbing Stairs: Activities that require the pelvis to twist may produce SI joint pain. Difficulty Sitting or Lying on One Side: Often experienced as an ache on one side that causes you to shift weight to one side to relieve the pain in the other.
