A ‘Google Nexus’ in an iPhone

Hardware

Unlike the OLED panel on the iPhone, the 5.8 inches screen on the Nokia is IPS LCD 1080 x 2280 pixels (~432 PPI). The display is sharp, has decent colour representation and wide viewing angles.

The 2.5D glass held by the aluminium frame and the 19:9 aspect ratio Grollila Glass 3 front display looked spectacular at first glance. The phone felt extremely sophisticated and premium just like fit and finish of the iPhone.

The octa-core Qualcomm 636 chipset powers the device. Four cores dedicated to powerful computation and four to battery efficiency. It is more than powerful to do all the current mobile tasks. The successor, Nokia 6.2 also uses the same chipset so future updates to applications and overall usage would run quite smoothly as there’s plenty of headroom left. It has AC WiFi, the 3060 mAh battery sufficiently lasts all day.

Software

The logic I’m comparing to iOS is because of the regularity of updates it receives just like the iPhone. The phone when first shipped in August of 2018 was running Android Oreo 8.1. Later that year it was updated to Android 9 Pie and last month in the January of 2020 it was updated to Android 10. That’s total 3 Operating System.

The gesture-based UI and the similarity of most third-party applications diminish the software differences. The quirks of owning a Mac along with iPhone is diminishing too. With Your Phone app from Microsoft, one can access Notifications, Photos, Messages and answer Phone calls on the PC. Also in the works is the ability to mirror the whole screen and access the device remotely and Google is working on a nearby share feature just like Air-Drop.

Ownership and Experience

One of my favourite person on the internet, Dieter Bohn, often communicates about the relationship with our tech devices using the ‘Instrument’ and the ‘Tool’ metaphor. A phone is not merely a tool that we use to communicate but is a part of the culture and an extension to our outside world. It is more of an instrument where one has to be tuned with its liking, develop an intangible relationship with it. Nokia for me is one such instrument. At a mere 20 per cent of the price of the flagship, it fits me like a glove. I adore everything about it. The pearl white rear glass compliments the front black mirror. I am grateful for the features like the ability to plug in my headphones, quick charge using the USB Type C and the facility to expand the storage with the SD Card.

Roadmap / What’s in the pipeline
By: Unicore - Uvault.Finance
Tags: Defi, Bitcoin, Yield Farming, Cryptocurrency, Crypto

The UNICORE team would like to thank everyone for waiting so patiently on the release of our roadmap. We have been very busy the past week and focused heavily on building, rather than making promises about the future. You’ll read a small summary of it here. Furthermore we’re of course not done building, and in the coming days/weeks the roadmap laid out here will be our focus.

Burn: An unstake fee when withdrawing Reactor which is directly burned (added)

We have added an unique way of implementing a burn fee when unstaking Reactor which burns UNICORE directly from the uniswap contract. This reduces the total supply of unicore on the pair, which uniswap uses to calculate prices causing the price to increase every time someone unstakes their Reactor. Another innovative feature!

Snapshot: a space for voting on new proposals (added)

We now have our own UNICORE snapshot space so all UNICORE holders can vote on proposed changes to the project. To get there: vote.uvault.finance has been set up for easy acces. Vote!

We invite the community to join our Telegram for ideas on new proposals, our virtual door is always open.

Governance: vote on increasing the sell fee (added)

After a vote of 24 hours on snapshot UNICORE holders decided to increase the sell fee to 2% which decreases the sell pressure and increases the APY. The vote wasn’t close, with more than 90% of voting power going to the increase.

The vote was clear :)

LGE: a liquidity generation event for a new wbtc/unicore pool (TBD)

The devs are currently working on adding a new wBTC/UNICORE pair where we will hold a new LGE for. This is the first step in creating an ecosystem where triangular arbitrage will drive volume, so our LP holders will receive fees on these transactions. There’ll be a hardcap and softcap announced soon, ensuring the feasibility of the new pool. If this is succesful, other pairs like USDT can follow. More on this later.

Arbitrage: keeping pools balanced, ensuring volume due to arbitrage(bots) (TBD)

We’re currently working on an arbitrage bot that will balance the pools, creating volume for REACTOR (LP) holders by taking advantage of price discrepancies. It’s currently being developed and will be tested not too long from now, though getting it absolutely perfect is key.

More updates and answers to your questions will be provided through Telegram, Twitter, and on our website. We look forward to meeting you!

The Dawn of Gold Rebasing Money
Tags: Derivatives, Commodity Money, Yield Farming, Decentralized Finance, Commodities

This gold-pegged cryptocurrency is a tad Bitcoinesque in the sense that the team/person behind it has a penchant for anonymity and that the supply is limited. Furthermore, it seems to be created out of thin air. Looks can be deceiving though.

The token is actually being mined (yield farming explained). Supply is issued to those staking certain select cryptocurrencies. For now the thing to know is that this fledgling cryptocurrency is supposed to track the price of 10 milligrams of gold and that the supply is only 30 million.

The Fundamentals

Given that the quantifiable supply of gold on the planet is around 1.98e+14 milligrams, a 30 million token issuance seems arbitrary. Who knows how the 30 million figure was derived but, thanks to the pioneering of Ampleforth and the engineers behind the YAMv3 code, there is a new synthetic commodity money in town.

A synthetic commodity money is artificially constructed to track the price of a commodity. The commodity is known as the underlying asset and in this case it is 10 mg of gold.

The Token

The token is an ERC-20 token on top of the Ethereum Network that uses the ticker AUSCM [pronounced ˈôsəm or “awesome”]. Auric Finance (an unknown team) is behind the token launch. Using gold prices as the base, they adapted the Ampleforth approach of changing the supply of tokens whenever the price deviates 5% away from the target price.

Adjusting the supply of tokens in this manner is called rebasing. The token launched over 24 hours ago and the first rebase is supposed to happen very shortly.

The token is presently traded on Uniswap against Ether (or ETH) and it appears that the folks at Auric Finance tied up 300 ETH in the pool through Unicrypt. Unicrypt offers a facility that enables token developers the ability to prove liquidity for future investors. These days the Ethereum Network boasts a service for every need and this one was used to lock up the 600 ETH for 6 months.

The Appeal

600 ETH is presently 248K USD. This is just big enough to scare away whales (larger investors). That means it AUSCM is a fun token for smaller investors to mess with. Especially now that the price is only 4 cents according to DEX Tools.

The theory behind rebasing insists on supply adjusting to demand. The present price indicates that the synthetic is way off its mark and that the supply issued needs to decrease to reflect that.

There are impermanent loss implications for those staking in the AUSCM-ETH Uniswap pool, but this farm is up and running. Wealth is being created.

🍌 What exactly is AP3.town?

AP3.town is an economic experiment that employs Frictionless Yield Generation and AP3’s unique strategies to create an environment conducive to token value growth, where circulating supply provides all rewards.

This eliminates the need to mint or add new tokens to circulation. Instead, the token’s value will rise over time, and the token supply will end up in the hands of the alpha apes — strong AP3 holders.

🍌 What does “Frictionless Yield Generation” mean?

This means that holders doesn’t have to stake their tokens or wait for rewards to be delivered. To begin earning rewards, simply purchase tokens and keep them in your wallet. All rewards are delivered directly to your AP3 address after each TX.

🍌 What about unique AP3.town strategies?

AP3 smart contract alter the seller-buyer balance and gives the latter a significant advantage. Developed with the intention of punishing traitors while rewarding new Apes joining the tribe, and already belonging to the tribe Alphas.

🍌 How does it work?

It’s pretty simple — the appropriate tax for each type of transaction is immediately reflected across all token holder balances, resulting in a steady, frictionless yield.

4% tax is applied to every token transfer, reflected as below:

1% goes to AP3 holders

1% goes to LP farmers

1% is burned

1% team

Additional 4% tax is applied to sell-side transactions (8% in total):

1% goes to AP3 Vault

1% goes to AP3 holders

2% goes to LP farmers

🍌 What exactly is the AP3 Vault that you mentioned?

It’s a vault where 1% of all sell-side transactions are sent and stored. The only way to withdraw funds from the vault is to purchase AP3 tokens on the market. To receive 10% of the stored funds, simply purchase at least 100 AP3 tokens. The percentages increase up to 1,600 AP3 tokens purchased, with the buyer receiving up to 80% of the vault’s treasury. As a result, if you purchase 100 to 1,600 AP3 tokens, you will receive between 10% and 80% of the funds stored in the vault.

🍌 What about Gorilla Mode?

This is the most important aspect of the project that will affect the token price and deflation; we’d love to share it, but we don’t want to reveal all of the cards at the start.

Everything will become clear to you in due course.

Stay tuned AP3s! 🐒

Introducing Duck Hunters
By: Waves Tech
Tags: Contests And Giveaways, Nft Collectibles, Yield Farming, Nft, Wavesplatform

Duck Hunters is a game mechanic combining NFT collectables and yield farming, developed for active participants in the Waves ecosystem.

Several times a week, assignments will be published in the group for completion of which users will receive EGG tokens. A user who has collected enough EGG tokens will be able to exchange them for a duck in the form of NFT. By collecting and breeding ducks, users will be able to create a rare one, which is more likely to be bought by the sponsor (Waves) in a weekly buyback.

The product’s roadmap:

April

- EGG airdrop to active ecosystem members

- EGG bonuses for social media support

- first NFT ducks available for EGGs

May

- regular buybacks of NFT ducks for USDN

- introducing pets breeding to create new-generation ducks

June

- secondary market for NFTs

- jackpot ducks — get totally unique items!

July

- introducing duck farming via EGG staking

- buyback governance for farmers

- more support for the Waves community

The game mechanic is organized with a view to incentivize the ecosystem’s enthusiasts by rewarding them with NFTs and to create speculative interest from collectors, supported by a buyback scheme.

EGG token rewards will be distributed to users for completion of assignments, announced in several rounds. Assignments could include social media activities (like, share, comment, tweet) and the use of Waves-based products, like, providing liquidity to Swop.fi and Waves.Exchange, voting with the Waves Association DAO or selling art works on Sign Art.

Duck Hunters is a unique game that merges NFT collectables and the DeFi space’s typical yield farming mechanics. It should play a major role in the Waves ecosystem’s promotion in 2021, also incentivizing the community, which has actively supported the protocol since its launch.

Stay tuned, so that you won’t miss the first EGG airdrop, which is not as far away as it seems. #WavesDucks are coming!

A Brief Intro to a New DApp on Wanchain, ZooKeeper Dimitri Follow Apr 9 · 2 min read

ZooKeeper is a brand new project built as a Wanchain Dapp. It is entirely conceived and developed by passionate members of the community with some collaboration from the Wanchain team devs.

We will now reveal a small part of the numerous exciting developments coming to the ZooKeeper dApp.

Introduction

What if we said, this DApp will provide dual farming on Wanchain. How does that sound? Good right? Yeah, of course!

So, how about dual mining with boosted rewards for locking up your tokens? Even better!

Well, how about dual mining, boosted rewards, and enhancing your rewards further by using an NFT?

Dual farming

Boosted rewards

NFTs

But let us take this one step further. How about dual mining rewards, boosted by locking up tokens, enhancing with NFT’s and, what if you were able to craft super NFTs by combining two that you already own to create a super NFT that will help combine and super-enhance your rewards.

Yes, All on the Wanchain blockchain!

A DApp that does all of the above, has a utility token AND works hand in hand with WanSwap?

Yeah. We think it sounds too good to be true too. But it is true, and it’s almost ready to be unleashed!

To accomplish this, designers, developers, and community members across multiple projects have collaborated to deliver what we think will be one of, if not THE best gamified NFT based, yield mining dApp in this space. Honestly, it looks so good, we don’t think there is anything in the crypto space like it at the moment and it’s so awesome, we think it’ll blow your socks off!

How does it work?

Tomorrow we’ll release all information on this exciting new project. So we hope you stay tuned and join us on our ZooKeeper adventure!

Join our Telegram, follow us on Twitter and Medium to be the first to find out all the details behind all the numerous use-cases for ZOO.
Satellite City: Make the oBTC Tunnel Stronger!
Tags: Defi, Boringdao, Yield Farming, Eth, Btc

Hi, All Boring Fans!

It was another ‘boring’ week. After BoringDAO went online this week, it quickly reached a milestone. Now the total number of minted tokens has reached 295!

According to DeBank, the total number of oBTC has surpassed pBTC in three days, ranking №7 of the BTC anchored tokens. Thank you, boring community and boring fans.

Nevertheless, we believe many people have also realised an issue: the tunnel capacity is insufficient.

The tunnel pledge ratio remains at 100–105% for a long time, so there are still thousands of BTC that cannot be minted.

For this reason, ‘Satellite City’ will open to expand our oBTC tunnel.

The first batch of satellite city assets will introduce wETH, USDT, USDC and DAI as pledges in oBTC’s tunnel along with BOR.

WETH is the ERC-20 version of ETH. Anyone can 1:1 convert ETH for wETH on Uniswap)

This will boost our tunnel capacity at a 5x-10x speed.

We warmly welcome miners from the UNI community to join BoringDAO. You have just completed the work of providing liquidity into the Crypto world, and now it is time to complete another great job: helping BTC enter the Ethereum network.

The output of the ‘Satellite City’ pool will be 16 $BOR per day. Evenly distributed to wETH, USDT, USDC, DAI in the first week.

Additionally, before participating in the ‘Satellite City’ farming, please remember to convert ETH to WETH (ERC-20 version of ETH) through Uniswap.

Besides, the community frequently asked about the liquidation process of BoringDAO. Let us be clear, if the capacity is lower than 100%, it will not trigger any liquidation and will only stop minting new oBTC. Liquidation only initiates when a “Black Swan” event occurs in the underlying assets, and the P2SH-based multi-signature technology will hardly allow this to happen.

Welcome all tunnel travelers to explore satellite cities!
Starters Guide to Yield Farming

Pick a Farm!

Emojis.farm

So for the purpose of this article I decided to pick out a very promising Yield Farm that is launching on 25th Nov by a really strong non-anon (not anonymous) development team, that I have been following for a while.

I’m not the only one that thinks so, apparently the CEO of Binance thinks so too!

So lets get started.

I highly recommend when embarking or investing in anything in the Defi space or anything for that matter, take the time to read what it is about it will benefit you and your capital in the long-term.

A Quick Glance, at some considerations.

The difference between APR and APY

APR (Annual Percentage Rate) refers to the yearly rate of return imposed on borrowers, but paid to capital investors.

This methods most distinct feature is that the interest earned is not plowed back in the investment scheme to make more interest.

APY (Annual Percentage Yield) is an annual rate of return charged on capital borrowers and subsequently paid to the capital providers.

The main difference between APY and APR is that the latter allows compounding of interests to bring in more returns to the investor.
Answering our Tokenholders: Why Choose “Velocity”?
Tags: Sushiswap, Defi, Yield Farming, Yearn Finance, Uniswap

Currency is the building block of “economy”. Without currency, there is no economy. The only true measure of the value of anything is people’s decisions. It is the interaction between people, their willingness to trade at a certain price, that is the only senseful way of determining “value”.

Nothing has inherent value. No goods, no services and no currency. Any value derives from the human free will. From interaction between people.

Based on these views, velocity is not only an objective expression of human interaction. Velocity is humans’ free will at play.

Any intervention from a single entity on what the “value” of a currency is, ignores this innate gift of human nature. In the “real economy”, Central Banks do this all of the time. They increase total currency supply, decreasing the value of that currency, removing purchasing power of the currency holders.

The VELO protocol is designed to operate in complete opposite manner. The increase in the VELO token’s circulation has an inverse relationship with the token’s supply. The rebase enforces the free tokenholder decisions upon token supply. Tokenholder interaction leads to surge in token scarcity, increasing it’s value.

VELO does not rebase token supply based off price. Rather, it rebases based off the behavior of tokenholders. VELO token’s value is therefore what it’s holders deem freely. This can be considered as the most accurate expression of the human free decisions on value.

“Only the free market decides on the value of VLO” — Super Mises

Blockchain has offered us the possibility to apply new rules to the game of economy. As the VELO protocol has never been done before, the outcome is likely to be unique. I have simply supplied a testing tool to the free market. The definite outcome will result from our community.

Our Governance is now set up!
Nerdlings: The Smart Choice For Yield Farm Aggregators
Tags: Defi, Yield Farming, Decentralized Finance, Crypto, Finance

Like Dracula, But Fairer

If you’ve been in the defi scene for any period of time in the last few weeks, you’ve probably come across the term “yield farming”.

It’s become a very popular way for nascent protocols to quickly distribute their tokens to as many people as possible, as well as for “farmers” to essentially print free money out of thin air.

But as projects continue to spring up, the information cost of constantly scanning Twitter and Telegram groups to find the forsaken “alpha” continues to increase over time.

It was only inevitable that someone would come along with a solution that would automate (a portion or in its entirety) of finding pools to stake liquidity in and returning the profits to the end user.

The Dracula Protocol is largely accredited for being the pioneer of this “meta-level vampirism” as they call it. A single smart contract and unified web interface allow anyone to aggregate liquidity mining into one portal, which delivers higher profits (the sum of the total is usually greater than the parts) and mitigates the systematic risk of any single pool.

How Does Dracula (And Nerdlings) Work?

Users deposit funds into a supported liquidity pair. User then deposits the LP tokens within Dracula. (Dracula now temporarily owns your deposited funds, and is entitled to the liquidity mining rewards) When “drain” function is enabled, earned tokens from the farm are sold for ETH, and then used to buy DRC (which is then burned)

As the coin supply is reduced, DRC should in theory see capital appreciation for holders.

The Issue With Dracula

In Dracula’s current state, the protocol was easily gamed because the drain function was set to execute at clear times. This meant that users could arbitrage their market movements around these “drains”, which was further exacerbated by flash loans.

How Nerdling Fixes This

While a drain function is still implemented, the actual draining is executed at a randomized time AFTER the drain function is called. This prevents malicious actors from unfairly gaining profits during these interactions.

Another improvement on top of the DRC protocol was the infinite mint inflation issue, which we have addressed.

I’m Sold. How Do I Get Started?

Go to nerdlings.finance, and go through the steps like you would with any yield farming pool.

But this time, instead of depositing Uniswap or Sushiswap tokens, users can deposit their LP into any of the following exchanges:

Uniswap

Sushiswap

Pickle

LuaSwap

SashimiSwap

YFValue

Users simply find a pair that they are LP’ing in one of these 6 categories, and will stake like any seasoned farmer is used to. APY’s will vary of course, but some users are currently seeing several hundred to thousand APY percentage returns at the moment (11/12).

Data Management for Startups — Getting Started!
Tags: Startup, Big Data, Business, Data Science Techniques, Data Analytics

Written By Umar Amin

Not all start-ups that accumulate data, end up leveraging it to its full strength. Despite a glut of data available through 3rd party tools like Google Analytics; most start-ups waste effort on collecting, organizing, storing it. In sum, start-ups could end up being information-rich, yet insights-poor.

Managing data from Day One can provide a competitive edge like no other. Deploying analytics fast, is indeed possible. Instead of chasing obscure industry benchmarks for business KPIs, Startups can set their own benchmarks, provided they fully leverage their own data.

Assuming that you have already zeroed in on outcomes you expect of your data, here’s how to get started on your data management journey.

The starting point: Structured Data

Intentionally or otherwise, businesses collect all kinds of data, of which Structured Data is the go-to source, to improve everyday functioning.

Structured Data is highly organized, hence easily understood by machine language; which in turn makes it easier to analyze for everyday view of business & customers.

So you’ve built a working pipeline for your structured data. To make it work hard for you, the next step is to apply basic Data Science techniques, to deliver the most time-saving outcome — Single view of business and customer.

Productivity Tools Go Vertical
By: Daniel C. Liem
Tags: Startup, Future Of Work, Modern Work, Worldpositive

For the past five years I’ve been a product manager at FiscalNote, Uber, and Dropbox. In that short time, I witnessed a dramatic transition in productivity tools that our teams used. Tools like Slack, Figma, Zoom, Notion, and Superhuman helped us to communicate, collaborate, and get more done, more quickly. When we couldn’t find the right tool, we built it ourselves.

It is clear that many of these tools share a common origin, popularized through a similar playbook. Most were beta tested and launched within tech companies, many of which share similar problems and use one another’s products. These tools would spread within the tech/startup world first, and then to other industries and the Fortune 500.

For the tech industry, by the tech industry, and eventually everyone else.

Having recently joined Obvious Ventures, I’ve been exposed to more (and much larger) sectors stretching far outside the technology industry. I quickly formed an insight that “tech-first” tools are great for horizontal functions that most companies share, such as task management, customer relationship tracking, and email, but they don’t address many large, underserved vertical markets and industries.

At Obvious we’re setting our sights beyond the horizontal productivity tools and onto the new frontier of industry-specific verticals. How can we improve modern work in finance, healthcare, and manufacturing? Or pathology, construction, and aquaculture? Pharmaceuticals, shipping, and retail? Knowledge workers in other industries do in fact have dramatically different workflows, work styles, team profiles, and fundamental business challenges.

There is a new set of companies building digital solutions for traditionally non-digitized industries — and a playbook is emerging for how these entrepreneurs are making it happen.

A Brief Guide To Going Vertical

How, then, might entrepreneurs today consider building modern, vertical productivity tools? Simply put, we believe the most effective approach is to take the best practices from tech-centric product development combined with a radical empathy to better understand nuances of other industries.

Over the years, I have both built and used all manner of these tools. I’ve been trained to consider multiple questions when evaluating them, which can apply broadly to practically any industry (shown in gray). When we shift our focus to uncover vertical work opportunities, however, there are additional questions to reflect on (shown in green):
