Am I the only one who has noticed that the spelling on "Withdraw" on the button for withdrawing SWAP.HIVE using LeoDex is incorrect? 🤔😅
Haha. I always see it and ignore. But yeah, somebody should tell them to fix it. 😂

Not everyone on the #LeoFinance team is a (website) developer, so I should address the issue to those who are directly assigned to the development and maintenance of the #LeoDex website. 😅

Based on the other replies on my comment, that issue has already been reported some time ago, especially on Discord. 🤔
The fix is as simple as finding "Wtihdraw", then swapping the positions of the 't' and 'i' characters. 😅

I think we talked about atomic clocks here before. They are precise as fuck and for that reason they can revolutionize space travel. It turns out that a very precise clock is really important to calculate a ship's position.
The clocks we have today can take hours to determine a ship's position with good precision but this new generation could improve this to the point that self-driving spaceships and GPS on other planets can be a thing in the future.

I used a great many different types of navigational tools while in the service. Lensatic (magnetic) and gyro compasses, Position Location and Reporting System (PLARS), hyperbolic radio navigation system (LORAN-C), and finally Global Positioning System (GPS) when it first came out.
Navigational tools have really evolved over the past few decades and show no signs of slowing down evidently.

Could be although I heard most of the state is a crap hole. Outside of Jackson Hole which is very costly and touristy, it is sparsely populated and a bit backwards.
Watch the spread of Bitcoin adoption; that might be our ticket. We can get like 5,000 Americans together and head to one of these countries. Get our Starlink systems going and earn money while living on the cheap.

Better yet, we'll tokenize our community. You'll need to buy whatever we call it in order to live there. We'll pay our residents and civic officials in that token and soft cap it. Potential residents will have to buy in to the token in order to live there.

You know, I've wondered, why Wyoming? Maybe it's that independent, pioneering spirit of living in a sparsely populated state. Either way, I'm glad to see them setting an example for others to follow.

That or perhaps just the fact they see a chance really to move up on the scale. It is an opportunity to bring business into the state.
It is the same logic El Salvador is applying.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Exactly.
Not only that, it's another way for Wyoming to remind the rest of the nation-- and the rest of th world-- that Wyoming has a business-friendly environment. That's an underrated factor.
Wyoming is friendlier to cryptocurrency than New York (State and City) and California. That's its USP.

This is great news for the crypto sphere. thinks are actually looking good irrespective of the price fluctuation. I believe we will see more companies and banks follow in the steps on NCR. It is the smart thing to do.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's a huge step forward. 2021 seems like a great year for crypto. So many users are entering the space everyday and it just doesn't seem to stop anytime soon.
These banks however will charge hefty fees from customers to buy, manage and hold their crypto in cold wallets. Just like crypto exchanges do. Hopefully this will allow investors to explore other opportunities which are better and decentralised.

I think it is only a matter of time before people begin to explore decentralised options. these centralised institutions and companies cannot be the gatekeeper of crypto. They can only try.

I remember a couple of years ago talking to my bank's manager about cryptocurrency. He said that BTC is money out of nothing. I replied, And the US dollar is different in this regard how?
I should ask to see him when I next have reason to visit my bank and ask What are your views on cryptocurrency now?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is a major step forward. We are seeing the banks getting their hands into it which isnt surprising. However, it does open the door for more wallets and people involved.
Onboarding into the industry is what is important. Then we can start to lure them elsewhere (like to Hive).

Two quotes from the article:
and
The supply keeps dwindling. I wonder what the price has to get to before these giant banks can't manipulate it. The problem is they are "too big to fail". The Fed will back them up by printing more money which will allow them to keep shorting and manipulating the price. It would not surprise me in the least if we learn at some point that 90% of all Bitcoin in existence is held in cold-storage somewhere. If banks are forced to cover and deliver actual bitcoin to people, they could truly collapse.

Will your voting habits change because of the hard fork? I don't think I will change mine but I think I might have to revisit the auto-voters that were triggered.

I have never understood the way voting was set up. When I first started it favored the bots. There was such a thing as trying to outrun the bots. It was all so stupid.
Hopefully the changes to rewards distribution will make things better. The system will still be gamed but that is true anywhere.
I like the way Leo Finance is set up. Day 1 to Day 7, does not make a difference. Portion of curation rewards received is stake-based. KISS principle and being simple-minded, it is my preference.

Yea I prefer if the window was the same no matter when you vote. Maybe they will change it after more people get on board with the linear votes.

In some ways it might as far as HIVE coin reward distribution. Of course the tokenomics of each Tribe is at the Tribe's discretion.

The fact it went off without a hitch is something that has to give people more confidence. The core development team is far ahead of the last group (perhaps it was a leadership issue).

It never let's me in, and the only way I was finally able to even leave these comments, was I had to open up a new tab and type my profile addy in, then it would let me login. But never from the main page.

After they get the access ( posting key access ) to the account , they aren't redirectly it properly I feel . I will try to login with HiveSigner later on myself and see if it gives me the same problem .
But just out of curiosity , why aren't you using KeyChain ? It is very simple and far more easier than HiveSigner . Any particular reason ?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Possibly because it was offered first and doesn't use the Chrome web Store. At the time the site mentioning it used PeakD which requires your active key, which we new people back then were told not to give out. So some veterans in help, told me to use Hivesigner to avoid having to give PeakD my active key.
I was astounded that you couldn't login using your posting key, so I never use PeakD.
I'm also leery about something like keychain, "holding" my keys as Sam Stonehill got hacked when I first joind Steemit, so I try to be careful.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Looks like I also can't do anything related to using my active key as it needs me to press the "import account" button, which doesn't show up as the screen never transitions, even when I open a new tab. This is becoming a real headache.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Ah, the "pull-right" class.
When I first started posting I was looking for the CSS file which contained all the classes for various formatting effects. I think I found it, but when I took a peek at the file it looked like gibberish resulting from size reduction. At that point I gave up on using CSS here.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Some HTML works and some does not. Also formatting is displayed differently depending on which website a person is using to interface with HIVE.
When posting I pretty much use HTML exclusively and when commenting I use markdown with a little HTML mixed in like the example above.
One really can not use CSS formatting unless they are very seasoned with the base HIVE code. LEOFINANCE.IO is a great blogging platform, but WORDPRESS it is not.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Got it. What you explained makes sense.
I know that CSS can't be added as inline styles (i.e., style="..."), so that pretty much kills it for me right there.
I'm getting better at Markdown and taking it as far as I can before I have to switch to HTML. Markdown tables break after 5 columns, so HTML tables are needed here. I'm still in the process of finding limitations of both Markdown and HTML for Hive posts, so it will be a while before I write a post about my findings.
As for Hive not being WordPress, that's so true! LOL!

Will an African nation be the next to embrace Bitcoin?
We could end up seeing this spread like wildfire. While countries like the US screw around with regulation, smaller countries will embrace the new technology and financial system, which will end up crushing the larger ones.
This could be a major turning point.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Totally agree. You know where this really gets interesting? If enough of these countries make Bitcoin legal tender, then it is no longer property. It is a currency and the whole tax thing gets spun on its head. If that happens, the bullishness may know no bounds.

Well it is legal tender in those countries. The developed countries could still consider it property which makes it difficult. One thing I count on politicians is to be too late to the party. So if this does happen, the fools in Congress will be years behind.

some major benefits of the flat curation reward thing?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If you vote on things worth less HIVE, you won't lose some due to the requiring X amount of HIVE otherwise your rewards drop proportionally. And if something is worth too much already, voting on it reduces your rewards before the fork.
Either way I think the flat curation reward thing is better.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hey task , right now your vote is worth ( at 4% ) is exactly 0.01$ .
The dust is 0.02$ so you need to double your HP .
I suggest 31k HP atleast actually since the upvote value changes depending on the price of Hive .
So to sum it up you have 14.8K HP in your @taskmaster4450le account and to prevent dust from now on you have to increase your HP to atleast 31k HP .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thanks my friend. I will increase that up. Now I can move the HP over to get it above 31K.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Awesome. This is great.
Hive will be distributed much better now right ?
I will make a post about curation rewards after 2 weeks comparing with older system.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes it will. Each upvote that I was giving on a comment, while carrying some Leo pop, was under the dust level for HP. So it ended up being dusted. Now, the upvotes will get both author and myself some Hive rewards. I think comments default to HP and HBD. So it will help people to get some HBD.
The vote value isnt going to be a ton but it will help out and over time, and with the number of votes, it will add up for some of the regular commenters.
Just moved 20K over, that should be enough HP to get my above the dusting level.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
One of the reasons that I only have one account that I use. If I had a larger amount of HP I would have done what many have and have accounts specific to Tribes. Just easier for me to have just one account to keep up with.

I literally unvoted for this witness today because it said inactive for 2 months, and it was still running old software, so I figured they must have abandoned it. Is this not the case? I do see it is running now.
It was behind for the longest of time. There was a problem with the server they were on. It appears the made the change of switching to a new server with the hard fork and using the new software.
It looks like it is back online and up to date.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am glad I saw this comment then, I have restored my vote for the @leofinance witness then. I just don't want to be voting for outdated or discontinued witnesses. There are some of those top witnesses that literally say they had resigned, and are still getting a ton of votes. When are governance votes supposed to expire now? A year from now or- and does this open up greater risk of hostile takeover if the community cannot rally together to vote? As if that would happen, but just asking. I think we proved last year that the community can Work together.
I understand. Since I watched the AMAs I knew they didnt abandon it, just there were server issues and developers working on the different projects. I am glad the HF made it a priority.
The vote expiration is one year from today. But that applies to the voters, not the ones who are voted upon. If the top ones said they resigned, we need to spread the word. Get people to pull their votes.
I am not sure what you mean by the community not rallying a vote in a hostile takeover. Please elaborate.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
What I meant is that before Hive was created, the community had rallied enough users to try and vote our witnesses back in. I am very interested in what each of our witnesses vision is, however I also understand not all witnesses want the attention either.
It is important for users to do their own research and to support witnesses that they do agree with. I believe that 'decentralization' and 'censorship-resistance' are two of the important things we all do agree on. I like certain discussions about how this is an exercise in true freedom, or direct democracy, although it is more of a self organizing meritocracy and a decentralized autonomous community.
A year from now it will be up to us all to get users excited about voting for witnesses, this is such an exciting thing we are part of and users should spend some time this year thinking about the witnesses they vote for. I am grateful to everyone who is helping to create this data layer and keep it running so smoothly, and for everyone who is creating and curating content also.
What is the Hive philosophy? Each of us write our own piece of it, and it is an evolving conversation.
Ah okay. I get what you are saying now.
I agree. It is something that we are going to have to keep bringing to the forefront of discussion, especially if there are a large number of "dead votes" for witnesses. That could radically change the top 20.
If there are those who are "leaving" then we need to spread that word around too. No reason to keep voting for people who arent dedicated to the community.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Why do you think that the voting numbers have dropped off?
If there's one community that's actually working for the benefit of Hive, it's LeoFinance...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Simply because the price feed wasnt updated in two months so it was basically abandoned for that time. They never fixed what was wrong with the server.

They are still on my list of witnesses. I was a bit perturbed with their performance though. I gave them the benefit of the doubt though as they have so many pans in the fire.
Keeping a current price feed is very important when I choose witnesses. I really need to review my witnesses since you brought up the topic.

In looking over the witness list, there are a number of witnesses who have their interest rate on HBD set at 10%. The medium is still 7%. There is even one at 12% and one at 15%.
I have a feeling it is going to head up over time. I wouldnt be surprised if a majority move it to 10% this month.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think most of them are motivated to make sure that HBD is pegged. In fact, I think most of the major stake holders who probably know the top witnesses probably want that to happen. If it helps, I don't see why they would refuse.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am not sure how much the interest rate will help with the peg but if it pulls HBD off the market into savings, it cant hurt.
I think the potential for it as a stablecoin is massive. We simple need to start framing it properly.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Now if we could just get the South Koreans to put it in their savings that would be great! They are the biggest speculators but then again I am not sure how many actually have a HIVE account.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well since they all have Steem accounts I would say they do. However, they are not really tied to Hive. So I think they just play the speculation game.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Agreed. It probably needs to be a minimum of 10%. There are quite a few defi projects with stablecoin pairs paying upwards of 20-30%. This is obviously not a defi project, but still, if the goal is to make it competitive and have people accumulate HBD for use in the ecosystem, then it will probably have to go up.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think a quick 10% makes sense and then sit for a couple months to see how HBD responds and how much gets locked up.
Then, maybe Sept 1, they can look to add another 5% to it if needed.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
But how much HBD do we need locked up for them to feel safe about it? Also it only takes 3 days to take it out so it could be removed if some FUD happens.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea, I think 10% is around the corner and perhaps even more in the future
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think it is better if HBD earns interest even when it is not put in savings. 🤔
Better than a bank that is for sure. I have my little bit of HBD in savings. That is where I will be putting it from now on.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I do not know why everyone is getting upset about energy usage as far as BTC is concerned. Microwave cookers in houses use a bunch of energy, maybe we should ban them. That is just one example.
I use nothing but LED lighting. It saves me a great deal on my electric bill. I do not own a microwave. I stack cook also and very seldom use my oven but a small toaster oven to cook.
I am all for renewables, but they have their downside as well. In this entire topic of discussion what is needed is level heads and not extremism.

I agree. Extremism has no place in this discussion. With level heads maybe someday a practical renewable source of energy will be found.
