Forbes, Ivan Pernar and Congressman Thomas Garrett.
The last upgrade of Drugwars doesn’t look to provide so much improvements in terms of “playability”, even worst, they removed the option of “Share your battle at STEEMIT” thus, if you were doing it regularly, and so trying to get the good upvotes of the @drugwars account, seems that it is not anymore possible… I don’t care because, I thought since the beginning that these kind of non-editable posts without content were just increasing the level of spam at the steem blockchain… so, somehow and personally I am happy for that…but if you were building your Steem account based on this sort of income, this last point seems one step back…
Looking at the Discord, seems that perhaps they are deviating the share of the Drugwars post from Steem to the TokenBB forum, and looks like it may be rewarded because, if you share your battle at the forum, it creates a comment on a general post at Steem with the title “Forum Drugwars” , and this comment MAY be upvoted… I did it myself, I share one battle at the forum and I selfvoted it. The battle appears as a comment at the steem blockchain, including the upvote 🙂
Besides this new thing which can be seen “counterproductive”, you know I have been very critic with Drugwars development strategy lately, this time I have to recognize they are demonstrating they have the things clearer than I was expecting in terms of Business Plan…
This last upgrade comes with one amazing option I will show you next:
Yes man, you can now create an account of @drugwars by log in with FACEBOOK or with your GOOGLE account, and this is the 100 Steps Forward I was referring at the Title…
These guys are really working hard towards crypto adoption, and more in particular towards STEEM adoption. This is a smart move from the team in order to attract gamers to STEEM, despite the game could be better of course.
This time I have to congratulate the team!!!
Well done FutureShock , I promise I will never criticize you again if you keep doing as you did this time 😉
In this episode our guest Darryl W. Perry, Founder of the Liberland Road Runners, discusses: 1) How he got hooked on running after losing 145lbs 2) The first ever Liberland virtual 5k 3) Events he will compete in and represent Liberland
Its been a long time coming and the recent wipe of my armies really made it clear that i should just stop with wasting my time.
From day 1 i knew what was going to happen but that doesnt really matter now. A lot of time has passed and the drama has died down. Maybe it was actually drama that kept me playing?
At this point its getting old. The game itself is boring, there is no earning potential any more. Future tokens are worth a fraction of a cent and the mechanics are still dumb. I earned a few steem when steem was being payed out and im happy with that. Im done with Drug Wars, feel free to farm. :
Whats happening with games on Steem is actually a sad sight. Really, at this point only Steem Monsters holds my interest.
Even Next Colony seems like it will end badly. Something i had high hopes for and they rushed out a product that isnt really even a game.
All you do is restart timers on word rows.
Its silly, tedious and its dumb. Id wager there is more work and thought put into those textual RPGs made in the 80s then these two games.
We need to stop rewarding this silliness.
DEVS WILL SAVE US!
No they fucking wont. Not these devs at least. Our main dev team is of questionable talent and you think Highcloud, or whatever his name is will take STEEM mainstream? No.
I know no one gives a fuck and most of people out there are either brownosing, circle jerking, vote selling…. But if there are any sane people out there, stop throwing money at anything and everything that is new and makes bold promises.
Im starting to feel like i should round up everyone, line them up in a row and do a slap-by. Might actually do it the next STEEMFEST. haha
Anyways.. Keep on… dunno… Drinking the kool-aid, i guess.
I did not post anything today till now… I was preparing my typical Crypto Market report while curating and commenting some posts of my feed… But suddenly I saw some good articles written by succeed steemians I followed which were getting just a few upvotes in comparison with the usual amount they get…
Suddenly I realized that something was going wrong with Steemauto and I had a look at its Discord Channel to better understand…
Actually what happened is that Steemauto stopped wrongly for a couple of hours lately today and there was an steemian at the channel that was informing about. As soon as he did that action, @mahdiyari replied immediately.
In about 30 minutes, @mahdiyari fixed the problem and inform at the discord app.
Apparently there was a “Database problem” and all delayed upvotes, more than 30000, will be eventually processed…
Yes, you dir read well…
30000 automatic upvotes delayed !!!
That’s a lot of automatic work…
While I am an active curator I am also a user of Steemauto, I think is one of the best tools at the steem blockchain despite there are others in permanent development that seems are offering better performance right now ( Steemrewarding from @holger80 is one of them) .
In top of enhancing part of my Curation actions and earnings, Steemauto simply helps me to support effectively my followers… It is not weird that my account would upvote you before I will read your post, but do not worry, normally I read your posts and I used to interact later on with you, when I have more time… On that sense, I am a Steemauto-dependant 🙂 …
On regards @mahdiyari , as the majority of the witnesses out of the 20 first, he tries to keep running his never-failed node by powering-down the earned SP… I am sure that If he was closer to the top 20 witnesses he would not have been forced to do so…
The question is why excellent developers and good steemians totally committed to the project cannot manage to be within the top 20… In my opinion on regards @mahdiyari, any user of steemauto should vote this guy for witness and support him as much as possible. People like him supports and fixes in any condition the Steem Blockchain, sometimes by getting very little as an income of the provided work.
Again, I request you to consider @mahdiyari as witness…
*Reminder: if you feel like not having time to do a proper analysis and still think that mine is fair , you can also choose me as your proxy that will vote for witnesses for you.
Just, keep using your witness votes doing an important work.
We are pleased to announce that the Liberland E-Sports League is ready. We invite all our gamers out there to register and participate since champions will win valuable prizes: https://prizes4tournaments.com/about/
This week has been a weird one. I did not find new steemians to follow, however it is true I couldn’t dedicate my time this week on a more intensive research.
I am really satisfied for having found @mrhill last week, he is posting almost every day and from time to time he writes very good stuff about Running topics as for instance this one .
Normally, I like to do my own research in the quest to find new steemians to follow, in particular I am interested on those good content creators that would need some help to grow up and build their account at least till the Minnow’s level, if you know someone who deserves to be supported, please let me know…
SBI Sponsoring
This week, besides @mrhill, I am going to sponsor @javirid and @pandorasbox with @steembasicincome shares.
About the first I already spoke about.
About @javirid I would say that, he is one of the more original steemians I met. He used to write short posts, usually in spanish despite his english language skills are outstanding. He is not the typical “spammer”, he really writes what he feels, no matter the topic or the discussion and I really appreciate his honesty, opinion and help provided in many occasions. Additionally, he is always supportive in STEEM technical aspects, as Witnessing, Coding, Development… I would like to see @javirid reaching Minnows-land and beyond in short…
What to tell you about @pandorasbox ? @pandorasbox is a MUST BE FOLLOWED steemian. Why? Simply read the following posts and have a look to her blog:
Dear Steemians wishing you a beautiful day. Today i am posting another giveaway post for some fun and engagement with steemit community. I hope you like and participate in it.
Steem Basic Income is a social experiment to bring a basic income to as many Steemians as possible. Members join by sponsoring others into the program. Steem Basic Income is delivered through providing regular upvotes to member content.
Note: If you have been Continually commenting for 30 days and you did not get the reward tell me in comment, I will send you 1 sbi share. Make sure you have 30 comments in a row for 30 days. Good Luck.
If you have been following me since some time you may know that I used to post once a month a short article regarding a simple process I do concerning my Witness Votes. I call this process “Auditing My Witness Votes” the aim of which is to assess if my Votes are used in the most efficient way so, ensuring the proper performance of theSTEEM Blockchain by signing Blocks (signal that the witness works properly) but also I try to check if the owner of the witness keeps being active and supportive for the community, posting and upvoting and also developing.
The following is my current 30 Witness List, all of them working perfectly according to my criteria:
For your information, as an average, a top 20 Witness does currently around 9200 STEEM per month . At today’s price of STEEM that means 2800 USD/Month .
Instead, Witness out of the Top 20 but within the first 50, the earnings obtained a month are around 1100 STEEM , i.e 340 USD/Month at the current price.
This number decrease dramatically if you are not one of the 50 first…
The thing here is that many of the witnesses are also struggling with the current price of STEEM, some of them have had to switch off the node because, apparently, the cost of maintaining alive the node surpasses the STEEM earned and so, does not justify to keep the equipment running or just maintaining the rent.
Thus, I can understand that many of the witnesses decide to Power Down their stake in a permanent mode, especially if they are not within the Top 20 witness List.
The fact is that I have seen many of my selected Witnesses powering down and not stopping lately, some of them as I said are Top 20 witnesses and I wonder…
Would not be good to stop powering down and stop withdrawing your STEEM to the exchanges in order to, I would not say increase the scarcity of the STEEM price but, at least, stabilize the price of STEEM in the market at the present times?
Is this not the time for ACCUMULATION?
Is it MORAL to keep feeding the exchanges with such a scarce demand right know?
Would not be better for you to sell your earned STEEM at a higher prices?
…an below the main question for the witnesses which I hope, some of them will reply…
WHAT IS THE MONTHLY COST OF RUNNING A WITNESS NODE/SERVER?
Could we have an averaged monthly value in USD about the Cost of maintaining a server/node running and working efficiently?
Thanks for answering.
@toofasteddie
By the way, many Steemians here do not have the time or maybe they are not interested in doing some research and try to Vote by themselves for the witness they like…If that is your case, choose anyone that you know he would do correctly as a Proxy, which means that your account will exactly replicate the Witness Votes of the proxy account you have chosen.
*Reminder: if you feel like not having time to do a proper analysis and still think that mine is fair , you can also choose me as your proxy that will vote for witnesses for you.
Just, keep using your witness votes doing an important work.
I am only familiar with a one-pager summary of a project, a book or an article.
How unbelievable it is that an operation as sophisticated and complex as trading cryptocurrency can be initiated and executed right on just a single page – Revolutionary, I call it!
The exchange procedure we are most familiar with look something like this.
work of the author
The process above may have been summarized in simple five steps, performing it in practice is not an experience to smile about.
In fact, this contributes to one of the reasons why cryptocurrency adoption is growing at a snail-pace rate.
Imagine a new user who heard about Bitcoin from the buzz on the street, decided to have a little holding of this so-called magic internet money was presented with the above mountain process of acquittance to climb.
The individual might just stop his adventure right at the KYC stage (something which is now becoming a mandate no matter the trade size on exchanges) or if he is lucky enough to sign up with established exchange who still provide a small window for users to transact under limited access without KYC confirmation, order placement complexes might just discourage him all at once (we are talking of a newbie after all).
Problems with multifarious exchange who mostly are built with centralized design extend beyond the user experience sample mentioned above. There are other reasons why their use offers many disadvantages.
Reasons such as:
• Insecurity of funds.
• Low liquidity (with the majority)
• Issue with theft and hacks
• Censorship.
These sets of problems cannot be tolerated in the long run if we really want to establish the decentralized mission of cryptocurrency.
Therefore, there is a need for urgent but lasting solutions.
Like the opening part of this post mentioned. There is a simple exchange with good capabilities to handle single or multiple exchanges between a wide range of cryptocurrencies right on a single page.
Onepagex is a multifaceted simple exchange with the ability to host and executive trades between cryptocurrencies right on a single page.
This exchange relies on the market price feed from many reliable sources to provide fair market trade. Using the atomic swap technique, the exchange allows the immediate liquidity and conversion between user desired cryptocurrencies.
One special uniqueness of OnePageX is the total absence of any form of registration and confirmation before a user can start using the service. Providing absolute decentralization, privacy, and convenience.
Another exciting features about this exchange are the wide range of available selection of cryptocurrencies which are over 140+. This availability paves way for conducting microtransactions across a wide range of selections which is very beneficial to airdrop hunters and the likes.
Just like the words of Brian Armstrong -Coinbase CEO
many people will earn their first cryptocurrency rather than buying it.
This quote is to the point, in that, the majority of just introduced newbies are airdrop and bounty hunters.
I started my crypto journey as a bounty and airdrop hunter.
I still remember how an airdrop token got stuck on an exchange because I couldn’t meet the withdrawal fee sum.
The decentralized architectural design of OnePageX mitigates the problem of fees arising from withdrawal. Another interesting part is that trading fees are drastically reduced, with just 0.5% charge, and transactions can be monitored in real time providing more assurance.
Here is a sample illustration of how the stages of exchange with Onepagex looks like.
i) Selection of preferred cryptocurrency type.
ii) Input of withdrawal address.
iii) Start exchange with a click on the button.
iv) Deposit address of the base currency to start the exchange.
v) Deposit waiting for two confirmation.
vi) Actual conversion with a pending status (happens in second).
Tracked your transaction on explorer by clicking the complete button.
______
The process is as simple as that.
Apart from the waiting time for the base currency deposit to be confirmed, all the steps illustrated above take just seconds.
With this kind of speed in exchange, gradually, we are getting close to the future dreams.
At the very start of the exchange, Bitcoin was the only available base currency, but there are now more available options like Ethereum and Steem, providing even more versatility and speed in confirmation.
The ability to sort out transactions within seconds with no prior need for registration or identity confirmation is a special experience on its own but OnePageX have even more to offer.
Rundown in a short list with inclusive features:
√ Convenience
√ Fast exchange window period
√ Absence of registration
√ Absence of KYC confirmation.
√ Adequate security.
Right on the same single interface, OnepageX offers an added advantage of conducting multiple transactions all at the same time.
All the above graphic samples showcase many of the cool features of the exchange.
The lack of registration may have prompted a curiousness of how a transaction can be retrieved in the case the window or tab was lost for various reasons like; sudden fail of internet connection, mistake arising from self-navigation from the page, and many more possibilities of mistakes. A simple way this is rectified is by resorting the page URL from the browser history – allowing the confidently use of the exchange without any reason to panic.
With the type of convenience this exchange provides, it is right to think why aren’t crypto-based merchant using this solution to settle crypto payments on their website.
Well, maybe words haven’t yet reached out to them because OnePageX provides a good solution for websites through its website exchange widget “OneBox”.
At this point in time, OnepageX solution is something all crypto enthusiast and evangelist should be excited about as it is one of the solutions that is bringing about the actualization of the convenience, ease, speed and security that has long been needed.
Competing Solutions
OnePageX is innovative in its design and appearance, but the past few years have also witnessed other similar product with the established mission to provide these set of solutions.
How is Onepagex then different from these similar solutions?
Features That Distinguish OnePageX From Other Similar Exchange.
As a reality, there are other exchanges that provide instant liquidity and conversion between cryptocurrency assets. Such examples of well-known exchanges include Blocktrades and Bancor Network.
To highlight their difference without too much of words. A graphical representation showcasing their superiority and flaws is provided below.

Some Use Cases.
Scenario 1
Samuel is a college student whose recent discovery of cryptocurrency propelled him on an exciting adventure as a bounty hunter as he lacks the necessary financial prowess to invest directly on the assets of his choice.
By his voracious commitment, Samuel had a very good experience with this new adventure and earn some valuable reward in the process.
Having gotten familiar with the crypto world, he discovered much of these earned coins are with higher volatility risk than established ones, therefore, he decided to gradually convert them to less volatile ones as he has a long time goal of holding his earned cryptos for future possibility gains.
His regular way of trading these cryptos was to pass through exchanges that require formal registrations and KYC confirmation before any form of exchange can be conducted. As daunting as this process is, it became easily checked by Samuel but the problem with fixed withdrawal fee that eats up a significant part of his holding became a real case to worry about.
But the whole story changed when Samuel stumble on a discovery that matched his need and exceeded his imagination.
On a fateful day, Samuel woke up to dig out available opportunities. In the process of his search, he stumbles on a contest promoting a project called “OnePageX” which solution perfectly matched his need.
This new discovery ended Samuel’s agonizing experience with formal exchanges as they became a thing of the past. He now enjoys the convenience, ease and wide range of selections provided by OnePageX.
Scenario 2
‘I need to lead by example’ – Anatasia thought to herself, she is a well-known cryptocurrency enthusiast and evangelist.
Her past crypto wins gave her the financial power to set up her local dream store. But the majority in her locals have never heard or know about Bitcoin. She decided the best implementation to set out with was to enable a fiat gateway on her website.
Her business flourished, reaching some of her online fan she initially didn’t set the market for. Words reached to her to set up a gateway that accepts crypto payments.
She decided this was the best thing for her offline business and her online reputation.
However, getting the right solution became a struggle as available solutions did not fit her need.
After making a public announcement about her need, a stranger dropped a Twitter message describing a one-pager exchange.
Her carefulness and knowledge ensure she didn’t click any of the link sent to her, rather, she did a proper search on Google and read about the suggested solution.
In the means of her search, she finds out the solution was, in fact, the best fit for her need.
To get things right without further stress Ana hired a coder freelancer and gave the necessary description. The task took just some minutes to be completed as it was just a copy and paste job.
She paid for the job without having to part with much money.
Her dream store got more set-up with an added juice to it.
She became happy afterward.
Conclusion
Ease, convenience, and liquidity are some of the top desires of most traders.
It contributes to reasons why many people prefer to keep their crypto holdings on centralized exchanges who are vulnerable to hacks and theft despite alternatives with decentralized exchanges.
Although, liquidity-providing exchange using the swap model are not a feasible ground for speculative trading, they provide the best alternative for other types of trading.
OnePageX took the swap model a step further by providing a platform where the complete process of exchange happens on a page. Putting off the stress with registration, privacy, and identity confirmation that may be subject to regulation.
Suddenly, the decentralized infrastructures we dreamt about, are getting set up, and for sure OnePageX is part of the move.
