All Aboard for Mars!

Moby-Dick; or The Whale, by Herman Melville is part of HackerNoon’s Book Blog Post series. You can jump to any chapter in this book Chapter 21: Going Aboard here. CHAPTER 21. Going Aboard. It was nearly six o’clock, but only grey imperfect misty dawn, when we drew nigh the wharf. “There are some sailors running ahead there, if I see right,” said I to Queequeg, “it can’t be shadows; she’s off by sunrise, I guess; come on!” “Avast!” cried a voice, whose owner at the same time coming close behind us, laid a hand upon both our shoulders, and then insinuating himself between us, stood stooping forward a little, in the uncertain twilight, strangely peering from Queequeg to me. It was Elijah. “Going aboard?” “Hands off, will you,” said I. “Lookee here,” said Queequeg, shaking himself, “go ’way!” “Ain’t going aboard, then?” “Yes, we are,” said I, “but what business is that of yours? Do you know, Mr. Elijah, that I consider you a little impertinent?” “No, no, no; I wasn’t aware of that,” said Elijah, slowly and wonderingly looking from me to Queequeg, with the most unaccountable glances. “Elijah,” said I, “you will oblige my friend and me by withdrawing. We are going to the Indian and Pacific Oceans, and would prefer not to be detained.” “Ye be, be ye? Coming back afore breakfast?” “He’s cracked, Queequeg,” said I, “come on.” “Holloa!” cried stationary Elijah, hailing us when we had removed a few paces. “Never mind him,” said I, “Queequeg, come on.” But he stole up to us again, and suddenly clapping his hand on my shoulder, said—“Did ye see anything looking like men going towards that ship a while ago?” Struck by this plain matter-of-fact question, I answered, saying, “Yes, I thought I did see four or five men; but it was too dim to be sure.” “Very dim, very dim,” said Elijah. “Morning to ye.” Once more we quitted him; but once more he came softly after us; and touching my shoulder again, said, “See if you can find ’em now, will ye? “Find who?” “Morning to ye! morning to ye!” he rejoined, again moving off. “Oh! I was going to warn ye against—but never mind, never mind—it’s all one, all in the family too;—sharp frost this morning, ain’t it? Good-bye to ye. Shan’t see ye again very soon, I guess; unless it’s before the Grand Jury.” And with these cracked words he finally departed, leaving me, for the moment, in no small wonderment at his frantic impudence. At last, stepping on board the Pequod, we found everything in profound quiet, not a soul moving. The cabin entrance was locked within; the hatches were all on, and lumbered with coils of rigging. Going forward to the forecastle, we found the slide of the scuttle open. Seeing a light, we went down, and found only an old rigger there, wrapped in a tattered pea-jacket. He was thrown at whole length upon two chests, his face downwards and inclosed in his folded arms. The profoundest slumber slept upon him. “Those sailors we saw, Queequeg, where can they have gone to?” said I, looking dubiously at the sleeper. But it seemed that, when on the wharf, Queequeg had not at all noticed what I now alluded to; hence I would have thought myself to have been optically deceived in that matter, were it not for Elijah’s otherwise inexplicable question. But I beat the thing down; and again marking the sleeper, jocularly hinted to Queequeg that perhaps we had best sit up with the body; telling him to establish himself accordingly. He put his hand upon the sleeper’s rear, as though feeling if it was soft enough; and then, without more ado, sat quietly down there. “Gracious! Queequeg, don’t sit there,” said I. “Oh! perry dood seat,” said Queequeg, “my country way; won’t hurt him face.” “Face!” said I, “call that his face? very benevolent countenance then; but how hard he breathes, he’s heaving himself; get off, Queequeg, you are heavy, it’s grinding the face of the poor. Get off, Queequeg! Look, he’ll twitch you off soon. I wonder he don’t wake.” Queequeg removed himself to just beyond the head of the sleeper, and lighted his tomahawk pipe. I sat at the feet. We kept the pipe passing over the sleeper, from one to the other. Meanwhile, upon questioning him in his broken fashion, Queequeg gave me to understand that, in his land, owing to the absence of settees and sofas of all sorts, the king, chiefs, and great people generally, were in the custom of fattening some of the lower orders for ottomans; and to furnish a house comfortably in that respect, you had only to buy up eight or ten lazy fellows, and lay them round in the piers and alcoves. Besides, it was very convenient on an excursion; much better than those garden-chairs which are convertible into walking-sticks; upon occasion, a chief calling his attendant, and desiring him to make a settee of himself under a spreading tree, perhaps in some damp marshy place. While narrating these things, every time Queequeg received the tomahawk from me, he flourished the hatchet-side of it over the sleeper’s head. “What’s that for, Queequeg?” “Perry easy, kill-e; oh! perry easy!” He was going on with some wild reminiscences about his tomahawk-pipe, which, it seemed, had in its two uses both brained his foes and soothed his soul, when we were directly attracted to the sleeping rigger. The strong vapor now completely filling the contracted hole, it began to tell upon him. He breathed with a sort of muffledness; then seemed troubled in the nose; then revolved over once or twice; then sat up and rubbed his eyes. “Holloa!” he breathed at last, “who be ye smokers?” “Shipped men,” answered I, “when does she sail?” “Aye, aye, ye are going in her, be ye? She sails to-day. The Captain came aboard last night.” “What Captain?—Ahab?” “Who but him indeed?” I was going to ask him some further questions concerning Ahab, when we heard a noise on deck. “Holloa! Starbuck’s astir,” said the rigger. “He’s a lively chief mate, that; good man, and a pious; but all alive now, I must turn to.” And so saying he went on deck, and we followed. It was now clear sunrise. Soon the crew came on board in twos and threes; the riggers bestirred themselves; the mates were actively engaged; and several of the shore people were busy in bringing various last things on board. Meanwhile Captain Ahab remained invisibly enshrined within his cabin. About HackerNoon Book Series: We bring you the most important technical, scientific, and insightful public domain books.

Moby-Dick; or The Whale: Chapter 21 - Going Aboard

Chapter 1 – Angst “A feeling of dread, anxiety or anguish” Thursday – December 16, 2021 - 6:59 pm WAT - Hang becomes the harbinger of good tidings and renewed holiday cheer. Nestled between emojis of what I had previously thought to be raw slabs of fish, Hang’s email title read “Welcome to the Hackership, Asher Umerie”. Shortly before I received this, I had been in a car with two friends, on our way back from a faculty dinner party, a deliberate effort to unwind on our part. It’s the end of a school year, the last end of my last school year, and exams had been intense, but an education in water resource and environmental engineering helps you find a happy place in the middle of stressful tasks. What university doesn’t necessarily prepare you for – at least the iteration of it I was privy to, in an institution with its many limitations – is how to properly communicate value and obtain scalable structure. I’m Asher Umerie a content writer, self-proclaimed film buff and as of the 3rd of January 2022, an Editorial Intern with Hacker noon. Following an intense period of freelancing and charging through mountains of course content for school, I realized that I had existed in a vacuum adjacent to the work ecosystem that I would soon need to traverse. So when I read the description of what the Hackership was set to look like I jumped at it with not-so-reckless abandon. As I imagine everyone invested in an application process does, I researched the company as diligently as I knew how, and my findings excited me, but they also filled me with some worry, and stress over how I would fit into the structure that kept such an impressive boat running, Chapter 2 – Calm “Without rough emotion; still or nearly still” Tuesday – Jan 4, 2022 – 5:45 pm WAT – Limarc says all the words I need to hear. In the days leading up to my first 1-on-1 meeting with Limarc – my mentor for the extent of the hackership program – I had begun to feed off eager energy and a shared curiosity, from interns and mentors alike. This is the first program of its kind, essentially offering every player involved an opportunity to exchange value. It becomes apparent before long; and in an introductory slack thread, that everyone is aware of this and roaring to get started. It, ergo, came as no surprise for me to realize that my Kaleidoscope of shifting emotions had been replaced by a near invariant fog of palpable joy. I am lovingly caressed by the culture, seamless diversity, and overall approach to communication at Hackernoon. I’m faced with tasks that are compassionately paced and grouped with a mixed-match team of pretty cool people. “… Limarc says as our 1-on-1 draws to a close. If this is what you want, I’m confident we can draw a roadmap that will be helpful to your education,” I feel relief – I came onboard the Hackership to streamline career advancement efforts and with every interaction, my confidence in this decision is reinforced. With 6 months to go, I’m curious, excited, and eager to see how I grow through this process. I’ll be sure to provide semi-regular updates as I progress. To Infinity and beyond!

All Aboard The Hackership

If there’s any one metric which indicates an app’s success, it’s how many people are using it - but dApp user numbers aren’t stacking up. Decentralized applications, or dApps, run on blockchain technology and offer benefits to security, better service up-time, increased data protection, and facilitate peer-to-peer transactions. , a service which tracks dApp use on a daily basis, shows that some of the largest web 3.0 applications, like Steemit or Cosmochain, typically have around 3,000 – 5,000 users per day. Compare this to some 30 million visitors to YouTube each day or the 150 million active subscribers to Netflix, and it’s plain to see that dApps are lagging behind. Stateofthedapps.com Regardless, we can cut web 3.0 some slack. A still nascent industry, blockchain and dApps are for the most part still establishing their place in the world. Making this process all the more difficult is the huge task of attracting new customers with no prior knowledge of blockchain technology – but current onboarding procedures don’t reflect this need. Why is it so hard to bring users into the world of web 3.0? Web 3.0 access? There’s an app for that. Want to access the latest dApps? Chances are, you’ll need an app for that. At present, downloading other apps to access web 3.0 infrastructure is one of the best available routes for new users to access blockchain based dApps. There’s nothing inherently wrong with this approach, and some great apps have surfaced to provide access to web 3.0 applications. Metamask, for example, is a browser-based plugin which acts as a bridge for Ethereum native dApps to run inside Chrome and Firefox browsers. Similarly, Trust Wallet includes a built in web 3.0 browser which allows direct access to dApps, and custodial solutions such as MyEtherWallet are providing simple client-side interfaces to tie web 3.0 services together. These solutions provide easy-to-action services to those who are already familiar with blockchain technology. However, for new users joining the space, these apps all represent a steep learning curve through completely alien territory – when all the average user wants to do is use an app straight out of the box. Just as many Android app users don’t have intimate (or any) knowledge of Kotlin or Java programming languages, the future users of web 3.0 applications don’t necessarily need to be blockchain experts. Instead, users simply need to appreciate that it’s a more secure experience than web 2.0 applications. So, how do web 3.0 developers make it easier to onboard new users? The attention economy and its effect on web 3.0 This man is clearly exasperated - he's probably trying to access web 3.0 in its current form. The situation is far more problematic than simply being a hassle for new users to access web 3.0. It’s actually significantly hampering meaningful adoption of blockchain dApps. Let’s examine similar pain-points in another digital industry. In e-commerce, the holy grail of the completed checkout is fraught with difficulty throughout the user journey. Software usability researchers, the (NNG), found that users who simply want to buy an item and leave the site are highly likely to quit their purchase when presented with a login wall, asked to fill out too many details, or bombarded with light-boxes. Nielsen Norman Group Why? Because as users, we have frighteningly short attention spans. The NNG term this ‘ ’, where attention is a limited resource which UX designers and developers must fight for a share of. Thinking back to the various hurdles involved in interacting with web 3.0 in its current form, it’s easy to see how attention and a user’s willingness to persevere with the onboarding process becomes a bottleneck for dApp use. the attention economy The majority of web 2.0 applications have developed easy ways for users to sign up and login. Many sites now feature third-party integrations with the likes of Facebook and Google accounts, providing one-click access and demanding negligible attention from their users – a stark contrast to the current state of dApps. In theory, the remedy for this is simple – make web 3.0 easier to access. But in practice, delivering an easier onboarding experience while staying in keeping with the self-sovereign tenets of blockchain technology is a difficult task. Instead, a solution is required which provides adequate safety guarantees, while also providing the familiarity of a web 2.0 environment. The FunFair Wallet There's a web3 dApp powering this game - but it looks the same as any online casino interface. As veterans of the blockchain space and one of the most recognizable web 3.0 projects, are at the forefront of the onboarding dilemma. Unlike a majority of blockchain projects, FunFair’s online casino gaming solutions, which provide provably fair gambling, are ready to deploy. But by their own admission, the onboarding process has been more difficult than they anticipated. FunFair Technologies Users can export their wallet like a traditional blockchain wallet, but this isn't required to access FunFair powered games. In a with BlockTV,  FunFair founder and CEO Jez San explained that this “high-friction onboarding problem is something most blockchain projects won’t discover until they actually launch.” FunFair launched the first use-case of their technology with proof of concept , though soon found that leading users through the complex on-boarding process required for a web 3.0 environment was preventing adoption. FunFair instead discovered that in keeping with on-boarding in other industries, the average new user stops their on-boarding experience at the first hurdle. recent interview CasinoFair Not willing to wait for the wider web 3.0 community to recognize and build solutions to this issue, FunFair set about building their own wallet. The FunFair Wallet is a non-custodial solution which enables web 3.0 applications to run inside a normal web browser, such as Chrome or Firefox. Operating inside an , or ‘iFrame’, a HTML element embedded inside another HTML element on a web-page; the FunFair Wallet enables access to the FunFair web 3.0 app for both mobile and desktop users. inline frame Instead of delving into blockchain addresses, private keys, and custodial wallets, the FunFair Wallet allows the average user access to web 3.0 apps by simply signing up for an account with their email and password, just like familiar web 2.0 apps. In contrast to current solutions, the FunFair Wallet doesn’t require downloads, plugins or installs. Similarly, it generates private keys for users locally inside the browser window and never takes custody of user funds. Explaining the FunFair Wallet in a , San remarked: recent blog post “Our short term goal is to work with the new FunFair Wallet in a controlled environment. Initially, it will support just FUN and ETH and only work with FunFair-powered sites. We’ll learn from our users’ experience and tweak the wallet to do whatever we can to reduce friction and improve usability.” The actual process FunFair have deployed to sign up and login to the FunFair Wallet is completely unremarkable – and that’s a good thing. Regardless of the complex blockchain technology ticking away under the hood, accessing FunFair-powered sites is now as easy as creating a Google or Facebook account. It’s the unremarkable nature of the FunFair Wallet sign up process which makes it the perfect example of how easy it needs to be to access web 3.0 applications. It’s time to solve web 3.0 on-boarding limbo As tech and blockchain enthusiasts, we’ve become accustomed to the steps we have to take to access web 3.0 services, but the decentralized economy won’t thrive with enthusiasts alone. It requires mass adoption. Therefore, the first solutions which crack the code of delivering a web 2.0 experience for web 3.0 apps will be instrumental in leading a revolution in blockchain user on-boarding. Decentralized application developers and others in the blockchain space can stand to learn valuable lessons from other web 3.0 pioneers, such as FunFair, who have demonstrable experience at the bleeding-edge of user adoption. Projects like FunFair have learnt first-hand that exposing end users to the complexity of blockchain technology is not the key to on-boarding – simplicity is. Naturally, some blockchain-maximalists may not welcome an approach which makes participation in web 3.0 as easy as web 2.0 applications. It is, after all, a departure from the original vision of decentralization which places great emphasis on self-sovereignty of assets and fund control. Nevertheless, without these solutions, it’s likely that web 3.0 apps will persist in a state of permanent limbo, becoming stagnant and unable to attract new users – users who, in the future, may take a keen interest in blockchain and help further our industry.

All Aboard Web 3.0: Why Onboarding New dApp Users is a Titanic Task

Like the taste that keeps you craving for more with such beautiful craze, such was my experience with my favourite and symbolic ofe-nsala soup, a special delicacy enjoyed in Eastern Nigeria always in popular demand and the first delicacy to get squashed by savouring tongues in any buffet event where its part of a meal course. “Don’t waste any more time and funds configuring your website to have the ICO section, it shows you’re not prudent and have a bad sense of judgment as a Founder/CEO. You should quickly capitalize on the growing IEO interest in the industry before it’s too late” The above quote was I telling one of the project founders who recently consulted with me sharing his plans to launch a unique platform in one of our sessions. After giving it so much thoughts factoring his earlier skeptic stand about the whole IEO craze, he has taken a detour considering my advice after all, but why? Perhaps before all the ripe cherries are picked in the field. Let’s hobnob a little down memory lane. 2017 was a hit. A smashing reveling hit for ICOs. The golden year when the kraken was released. Anyone could with little effort on a shabbily written whitepaper launch an ICO and take in at least $2 million dollars with just a landing page and a Google form embedded. While the were firing on all cylinders, having a field day, the regulators keenly watched how it played out. In fact, the craze for the “ ” was so high that a friend asked another to avoid solid project building platforms bent on building real use cases for tokens but should rather join the bandwagon of crypto goblins drooling over the thought of raking in digital dollars by just “investing” in lending coins after using a paltry $1200 to smash in $112,676 less than a week after he bought into an ICO. scam lending platforms Benjamins 2018 January was no different. It came and we saw the “ether heavens” break open. Ether shot up to as much as due to the ICO boom. Within the first quarter alone . A handful of projects mopped up so much of the market to lay them bare raising as much as as just a single project. While many stood aghast at the jaw dropping funds being raised, the smart project founders kept peeling through to attract funds for their ideas whether workable or just another fantasy in the air. $1,431 surpassing what was raised in ICOs in 2017 $4 billion In a nutshell, 2018 saw the ICO bubble burst, releasing with it the rushing and chilling wind that ushered in the “ ”. While a few of the experienced folks who knew what the “ ” was saw a deja vu, majority of the moon and lambo babies saw crypto armageddon galloping with speed to fritter the space away like the “dothtakis” were gobbled up by the “whites” even with their flaming swords. “REKT! It’s all over!” the tears flowed like the ocean. Crypto Winter dot-com bubble 2019, a remarkable crypto winter year crossed over from 2018 with no end in sight. Things are already happening and the dollars are still being raised by smart project founders. Think about this for once, the highest amount of ICO funds raised was done through an exchange offering. EOS? Yes, you heard that right. Over $4 billion dollars was raised by Block.one the team behind EOS. While it was not called an exchange offering at that time, 2019 has seen a new wave of IEOs (Initial Exchange Offerings) springing up. On the 28th of January 2019, TRON launched the Bittorrent ICO through Binance launchpad making it the first IEO of 2019 and raising as much as . I thought that rang a resounding bell. Looks like the glorious years are back again. We have since seen Binance launch another for Fetch.AI team and such as Huobi, Bittrex, Okex, Kraken, BITMAX etc. racing to announce their soon to launch IEO. $7 million within 20 minutes many other exchanges Project Founders, Why Should You Care? This won’t last long as usual. Many of the crypto projects are based on price speculations which revolves around the short term and not the supposedly long term use case goal. As rational humans seeking to maximize their gains, I expect the interest in IEOs to wane over time and very fast too as those who participate in IEOs begin to get disappointed in the returns from participating. BitTorrent token (BTT) surged to same pattern was observed with FETCH and a few others. Binance has since announced another IEO to take place on the 15th of March on its launchpad. Its yet another frantic race. It’s only a matter of time before these returns begin to tank. nearly 6 times its IEO price, Strike While The Iron is HOT! As a project founder, you should take advantage of this new wave to raise funds for your new and viable business plan centred around blockchain should you be planning an ICO. If you think you stand a chance here are why you should capitalize on this opportunity Save funds meant for tokensale page design of your website, directing it for platform build to scale faster. Enjoy a community of crypto enthusiasts who already understand how blockchain projects work. Integrated marketing and publicity through the exchange programs towards the IEO. This is possible through the big data of potential crowdsale participants from the list of the exchange users. Trust and confidence for your contributors. Participants can worry less about their personal wallets being hacked or sending funds to a wrong address as this is collected through exchange wallets. The exchange provides due diligence at the professional level and guarantees the quality of the project with its own reputation at stake. for many whose smart contracts were compromised and funds carted away with. Choosing the IEO options avert this kind of risks. It was reported that about 10% of all the funds contributed in 2018 ICOs were lost to hackers You achieve both launching out and listing simultaneously saving you time and energy involved in the exchange listing negotiations. Like the “ofe-nsala” soup always in short supply at most parties, how long the IEO excitement will last is not what project founders intending to raise funds through ICO should gamble with.
