Ferrum

If you want to run integration tests on your website, you have three options: Poltergeist, Selenium and now, a new secret weapon — . Ferrum Poltergeist is fantastic, but unfortunately, it’s really quite outdated now.Selenium requires installing additional software, it’s slower, and it doesn’t give you full control of the browser. It’s definitely not an option for everyone.Ferrum is faster than Selenium, there’s no additional software to install, and with it, you have complete control of the browser. Back in the 1970s when Unix first appeared on the horizon, almost everything was headless: the vast majority of tools you used just didn’t have any sort of visible UI, excepting printing error messages when something went wrong. Web start-up philosophy tends to be a little different to that of Unix. Start-ups can evolve in many ways, and we’re constantly having to make trade-offs. Interpreted languages, dynamic typing, and automatic memory management all make life much easier than the tools the original Unix developers had to work with, and they allow us to write very readable code, but it can still be error-prone. The quicker we can write integration tests and run them, the lower the chances of not missing a bug: and that’s where Ferrum, written by our colleague Dmitry, comes in. Meet CDP CDP stands for “Chrome DevTools Protocol”. It’s not something especially new, and you’ve probably seen Chrome’s Web Inspector: CDP is what powers the Inspector under the hood. CDP itself is a fairly simple protocol, based upon JSONRPC. The API is split into multiple domains targeting different aspects of Chrome: the core browser application is in the Browser domain, a particular page is dealt with by the Page domain, you can interact with the DOM tree using methods in the DOM domain, and so on. There are quite a number of different domains, each of which has its own set of methods that you can call. Ferrum — a secret weapon for Chrome Now that we’ve covered an introduction to CDP itself, let’s move on to Ferrum. Ferrum is a Ruby gem that controls Chrome through a WebSocket using the Chrome DevTools Protocol, and provides you with a high-level API to it. Let’s try using Ferrum to take a screenshot of the Google homepage: browser = Ferrum::Browser.new
browser.goto( )
browser.screenshot( )
browser.quit "https://google.com" path: "google.png" And that’s all there is to it! Using Ferrum really is simplicity itself. Just because it’s easy to use doesn’t mean it isn’t capable of a lot: there are a great many CDP features already supported, beyond basic navigation, search, and screenshots. You can intercept network traffic, stub responses, control authentication, and modify cookies, headers, and scripts; you even can send mouse and keyboard events that are indistinguishable from real ones! (The one thing it can’t do is solve a CAPTCHA for you… yet). Fully thread-safe control Ferrum was written to be fully thread-safe from the outset. You can work with dozens of open tabs from the same Chrome process using multiple threads, and each page is maintained independently through a dedicated WebSocket. For example: browser = Ferrum::Browser.new
context = browser.contexts.create

t1 = Thread.new(context) page = c.create_page
 page.goto( )
 page.screenshot( ) t2 = Thread.new(context) page = c.create_page
 page.goto( )
 page.screenshot( ) do |c| "https://www.google.com/search?q=Ruby" path: "t1.png" end do |c| "https://www.google.com/search?q=Ruby+static+typing" path: "t2.png" end In the code above we create a context, which is a Chrome feature particularly suited for testing — in effect, it works like a private browsing window, and once you close it, everything is gone. You can create tabs in the same context if they should share some history or data, or separate them into different contexts if they need to be completely independent of each other. Ferrum + Capybara = Cuprite Cuprite is a driver for Capybara that uses Ferrum to control Chrome. This means you can use the familiar Capybara API without needing to rely on additional dependencies that other drivers need for headless Chrome. If you’re already using Capybara, Cuprite gives you the benefits of Ferrum without having to learn a new set of APIs. Ferrum + Crawling = Vessel If you’re considering using Ferrum to perform some web crawling, then look no further than Vessel, a Ferrum-based crawling framework for Ruby. Now that you’ve had a quick introduction to Ferrum, all you need to do now is head over to the Ferrum Github and get started on your next Chrome automation project! Here at Evrone, as well as open-sourcing some of the tools we've created ourselves, we also support other open-source initiatives, including offering our design and identity services to particularly promising and exceptional projects, such as Ferrum.

Open-sourcing Ferrum: a fearless Ruby Chrome driver

Ferrum + Capybara = Cuprite Cuprite is a driver for Capybara that uses — a minimal-dependency pure-Ruby driver for running headless Google Chrome instances. Ferrum If you’re already using Capybara, Cuprite gives you all the benefits of Ferrum, but without the overheads of having to switch APIs. Because Ferrum employs Chrome's native DevTools Protocol (CDP), it doesn't need anything special in order to operate Chrome or Chromium in headless mode, unlike some alternative solutions. Enabling Cuprite Add these lines to your Gemfile and run bundle install. gem , : :test "cuprite" group Next, add the following to your test setup: Capybara.javascript_driver = :cuprite
Capybara.register_driver(:cuprite) |app|
  Capybara::Cuprite::Driver.new(app, : [ , ])
end require "capybara/cuprite" do window_size 1200 800 If you already have tests written using Poltergeist, then transitioning to Cuprite shouldn't be any more complicated than the above — Cuprite aims to have an API consistent with Poltergeist's where it's reasonably able to. Controlling the browser You can synthesise mouse events with page.driver.click, scrolling with page.driver.scroll_to, and key presses with element.send_keys (keystrokes are sent to a specific DOM node). Using page.driver.headers, you can override the request headers that are sent, and page.driver.add_headers to append headers to the default set (the changes apply to all subsequent HTTP requests until the end of the request). https://github.com/rubycdp/cuprite Limiting scripting Sometimes you want to run a test in a constrained environment, and Cuprite has the tools to do this in the form of white- and blacklists, which if populated specify the URL prefixes which are permitted or blocked from script execution. If you don't specify a whitelist, all scripts not matching the URLs in the blacklist will be permitted; if you do, only scripts from the URLs listed will be executed. Careful use of these lists can help speed up your test runs: for example, do you need your standard web analytics scripts executing in your tests? Specifying the URL prefixes is as easy as providing a list: page.driver.browser.url_blacklist = [ ] "http://www.example.com" and page.driver.browser.url_whitelist = [ ] "http://www.example.com" Under the hood If the Cuprite API doesn't do what you need for your tests directly, you can also get access to the underlying Ferrum instance for full control in your tests, for example: browser = page.driver.browser
browser.mouse.move(x: , : ).down.up 123 y 456 The browser object exposes the full breadth of APIs that Ferrum has to offer: navigation, debugging, script execution, DOM manipulation, screenshot generation, traffic analysis, and complete fine-grained mouse and keyboard event synthesis: everything you could need for automated testing of a website or app, right at your fingertips!

Enabling Cuprite: A Headless Chrome Ruby Driver for Capybara

It’s over 2 weeks now since I started with social mining. This article is describing all the mistakes and wins that I experienced. This article can also give you an idea of how social mining works. If you aren't familiar with new community tool social mining you can read my latest article here , but now LET'S START! (my stats in LTO and FERRUM ) Chapter 1 - Rookie mistakes When I first logged into the platform, I was not sure what am I doing or what is this about. I decided to post a few tweets and other stuff without reading any info what so ever about social mining. Guess what? I had to pay for my irresponsibility. (rookie taxes) Chapter 2 -Slowly learning After I took a few shots I started with some posts, I was the main meme maker in the telegram chat. All the people from there knew me as a funny guy. So I decided that I will share some memes. As you can see this played out better, however, I need to point out that I posted more than 8 memes in that single tweet. If you are thinking that making 1 primitive meme and posting him over and over daily on the platform will get you rewards you might be surprised. I love memes, but what value does it really add? Don’t get me wrong I think memes are actually bringing value, but not as big as other things. This is why I think 1 post per week with 8–10 memes is enough for you and for the community. Otherwise, you might get downvoted. Chapter 3 -The rise After a few meme posts, quality tweets and other stuff I found myself around rank 30. To be honest, I thought this is my limit I can’t get higher, all I can do is a meme and after few posts, people started to upvote it more rarely and by all fairness, it was the correct call since I was adding just very little value. But then I realized I am not English I know 2 other languages! So I started to translate LTO medium posts. (Translated article) In my opinion, this is the best way to add value if you have no idea how to start. It will benefit the community, project and of course you as well. You can post quality meme post, but don’t spam it. With translations, you have plenty of material to translate. You can do 1 per day freely. Chapter 4 -Work is the only way After a few days, I realized that I can’t reach the top ranking with stuff that I am doing. I was sitting pretty good, but I wanted more and the beauty with social mining is that if you want more, you can get it. You just need to work, work, work. I started with article writing. First time in my life. I wasn’t comfortable with it at all. English is not even my native language, but yet I tried and I rolled out my first article on my medium page. . As you can see it was not so bad not so good in terms of upvotes and also the article itself was not great not terrible. It’s important not to stop. Focus on your goal, not on the road that will take you there. So I started to write more and then my very simple article about social mining rolled out You can’t even believe how much satisfaction you can get if someone finds your work worth it. Soon after this my article gets shared by DAO MAKER the social mining creators, few important community members liked it and that was like a motivational bomb for me. I wanted to experience that feeling of success and hard work paying off again. After my 1st article, some people told me that it was too simple, that they want a more complex article and they were right. Don’t feel insulted if someone is constructively criticizing your work. They want to help you not to harm you or insult you. After 1 daybreak, I started to research social mining more. Reading, taking notes and also constantly asking the makers about their product. Chapter 5 -You need to go beyond the platform One thing that way in the back of my mind. Even tho that I got some upvotes, but my medium profile is not so popular so my article was opened only like 70 times. All the nice work in the platform is good, but as long as it stays only within the platform it’s not using 100% potential. 3rd article in my life and I am submitting it to Hackernoon . What can go wrong right? :D. To my surprise, it got accepted. Why? You don’t have to be an experienced writer if you want a good article. Let’s say an experienced writer can write a good article in 4 hours and for me, it was 3 days, but hey I made it. Once again the point is to work, work, work. If you think you are not good enough then DON’T THINK . My hackernoon article reached top post and in case you don’t know you get a more extra reputation for top posts. Lesson Quality > Quantity. Rather have one 1 000 point post than five 300 posts. And since that post, I am just trying to give my best writing, also promoting Ferrum and LTO to some youtubers texting them just trying, trying and trying if you fail it’s ok. You tried and that important. My other article on another website Conclusion I am not saying to you that you all need to start writing articles. Not at all. What I am saying is that thanks to social mining I was able to motivate myself and step outside of my comfort zone. I tried writing articles and hey it worked. After my publications, a few projects offered me some money for articles and the stuff get rolling, but for you, it’s maybe video making, graphics or other unknown stuff that you are afraid to try. You just need to turn on this music close to your room door and start. Success will come and success is addicting. Peace and bless you Benji Disclosure: I'm associated with DA O MAKER's - ICO MARKETING AGENCY and social mining creators.

How To Use Nightwatch.js Framework For Test Automation Selenium is a widely used tool for automated browser testing. Being an open-source framework allowed Selenium to be compatible with multiple test automation frameworks for different programming languages and if we talk about automation testing with Selenium and JavaScript, there is a particular framework that never fails to take the spotlight and that is the Nightwatch.js. This is why I decided to come up with Nightwatch.js tutorial for beginners.

The company has the stated goal of creating a decentralized economy that allows gamers to earn digital currencies on the blockchain as they play. Exeedme was founded by Nuno Fernandes and Francisco Varela with the intention of creating a platform that would enable gamers to monetize their playing time, regardless of skill level. The company’s strategy is geared towards shifting focus from the industry’s current standard business model, Free2Play (which consists of purportedly offering games for free and then generating revenue through in-game purchases), to a Play2Earn philosophy, powered by blockchain technology. The Play2Earn model seeks to provide gamers with a means to generate revenue through their gaming, instead of merely participating as paying customers. Exeedme’s goal is to allow gamers to create an open market, reliant on decentralized finance and non-fungible tokens. There will be no traditional intermediaries, and gamers will be able to challenge each other and bet on themselves outside the scope of an overarching authority. Applications were opened for the first 100 users of the platform on Wednesday the 17th March at the end of the world’s first Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Blockchain Tournament. The tournament gathered eight elite blockchain projects that played against each other. Companies featured included Aleph.im, ChainGuardians, ChainLink, Ocean, Ferrum Network, Ultra and Umbrella. Utrust, the leading digital currency payments provider and Exeedme partner, would come out victorious. The first private beta for Exeedme’s platform went live on 20th March, and the first 100 users were rewarded with 500 EXEs (in-platform currency) to use at their leisure. Each user will also have the opportunity to invite up to nine others to join the beta, play, and earn cryptocurrency themselves. EXEs can be traded at any time for other liquid cryptocurrencies, and freely withdrawn from the platform. Exeedme also announced that their platform is the first Blockchain Play2Earn platform in history to integrate the Esports Integrity Commission’s integrity codes and standards. Nuno Fernandes, CEO of Exeedme, had some words for the occasion: “Transparency and fairness are the cornerstones of our company. We started the whole enterprise to provide gamers with a pathway to profitability in an industry that too often sees them as mere customers. We are committed to strengthening the integrity of the eSports world, and we want to promote fair play across all events and platform challenges. It stands to reason that we will always hold ourselves to the highest standards.” Nuno Fernandes, Exeedme CEO and co-founder, is available for further comments or interviews About Exeedme Exeedme is dedicated to to building a fair and trusted Play2Earn blockchain-powered gaming platform where all gamers can make a living doing what they love the most: Playing videogames.

[Announcement] Exeedme launches the First-Ever Blockchain CS:GO Live Tournament

At the end of 2020, I gathered up the opinions of nine startup founders who shared their views of 2021, and in this article you will find out how they answered. The past year saw both a deep correction and an unprecedented bull market for Bitcoin. The price spikes continued well above $33,000, putting the currency in uncharted waters. This time, the year-end rally holds several crucial differences from the brief record at the end of 2017. In 2020, trading infrastructure has become more robust with a variety of centralized and decentralized exchanges available to everyone. One of the big boosts for crypto liquidity was the introduction of multiple dollar-pegged coins. supply expanded to above 20B tokens, from below 1B tokens in late 2017. to USDT still hold a smaller share, but act locally to boost liquidity on Binance and other exchanges. Tether (USDT) Competitors Deeper changes in crypto infrastructure were made as well, with more blockchains available to perform financial operations. In 2017, only Ethereum was a tool for tokenization. In 2020, multiple networks established themselves as a basis for tokenomics. TRON, Algorand, Tezos, ChainLink, and multiple other blockchains now carry transactions in USDT. The smart contract infrastructure is also growing, with projects like Maker DAO ensuring DAI liquidity for trading and other operations. decentralized finance As a result of the token and network infrastructure, the evolved. At the top, decentralized exchanges and finance apps continue to bring in more users. Gaming and gambling come in a close second. Decentralized apps promised a lot back in 2017, but it took years to actually develop their most powerful use cases. decentralized app market A startup in 2021 will face a wildly different financing and fundraising climate. 2017 was the first year of highly active token sales, or ICOs, which raised millions in ETH and BTC within minutes. That trend extended to 2018. But in 2020, fundraising was limited to Initial Exchange Offerings (IEOs). In 2017, newly launched tokens had to wait for months for a listing on one of the centralized exchanges. During the past year, and similar protocols allowed each token to start trading within hours of its launch and quickly gain liquidity. New token users gained incentives for holding onto their tokens instead of waiting for a listing to dump. Still, new token prices were highly volatile in 2020, with some for yield farming tokens. UniSwap catastrophic crashes In 2020, the crypto space showed enthusiasm for new projects, mostly due to the innovative sources of liquidity. New tokens no longer lingered with stagnant trading, and instead offered incentives for higher activity. In this climate, building a startup makes use of new technologies and algorithmic trading, while also finding a new set of users willing to expose themselves to risk. So How Should You Start a Project in 2021? Here are Some Opinions From the Pros: Brendan Mannion - Founder of ClinTex Being a crypto startup founder in 2021 will not be all fun and games. You may have to navigate uncharted, dangerous waters. First, there is no knowing where the market rally will go from its peak. Will Bitcoin continue to conquer new highs, or will altcoins and tokens follow? Make sure your project is prepared both for a bull market, but also for another dip into bearish territory. Second, regulators are circling for new reasons to scrutinize crypto assets and startups. After Ripple’s XRP faced a series of delistings, some investors may realize new tokens or assets are rather risky. Make sure to pick the right jurisdiction and be aware of security law. After years of reassurance, XRP is getting delisted from major exchanges as it faces a lawsuit from the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Check multiple times if your tokenomics are not breaking any laws in the traditional financial system. The next big challenge is to hack-proof your project. Even audited smart contracts have been exploited in the past year, and there is a high chance 2021 will see more of such breaks. If you rely too much on the incentives of DeFi yield farming or liquidity mining, make sure there is no way to have your token exploited. The sudden, deep losses and chaos may cost you the trust of your users, as well as the value of any tokens left for development purposes. Despite those things, 2021 looks promising in comparison to previous crypto cycles. Users are more open to wallets and investing through apps. A lot of coins, tokens, and flawed exchange models did not survive, clearing the space for competition among successful platforms with powerful teams. That infrastructure was not here during the previous crypto boom in 2017, and it now opens even more opportunities for startup founders. Check out our token . Matthew Niemerg, Ph.D. - President of the Aleph Zero Foundation and CEO of Cardinal Cryptography Focus on building amazing products, generating customers and a revenue stream, and creating an outstanding user experience. Identify what is missing in the market or even how a product or service can be improved that already exists. Do not be discouraged if you have an idea and someone beats you to the market. No one still uses Mosaic, Bing, or even AOL. Do your own thing and trust your own judgment. It's fine to listen to other's opinions and take them into consideration, but you can't please everyone. You'll waste more time doing that than working on what you want to build. Be willing to delegate. You can't do it all yourself. Find people who want to support you in your vision and know that it will take time to achieve. Ian Friend - COO of Ferrum Network 1. At Ferrum, we found a tremendous product, market fit with our staking-as-a-service, which essentially can turn any Ethereum-based token into a DeFi project. In the past six months, we have signed up over 45 clients, including big names like Bondly, Aubit, and Geeq, and now have over $15 million TVL across all our client's staking contracts. We continue to sign up multiple projects per week and use those funds to buy back FRM.  It feels great to finally have a strong business in addition to the other utilities of FRM. 2. One mistake I think we made early on was underestimating the importance of influencer marketing. But now, with over 2.5 years of experience in this industry, we understand the power of influencers and have connections to many of the best ones. Leveraging those relationships will allow Ferrum to reach a massive new audience in 2021. 3. One thing I would have done differently is to create a governance committee earlier on. We recently created a governance committee tied to our new sustainable governance token - FRMx. The participation, value, and friendships being created are absolutely incredible. Ferrum owes a lot of its recent success to those in the committee… thank you! Sergey Baloyan - Founder of X10 Agency (one of the top global crypto agencies) 2020 has taught us to be prepared for everything - and in our plans to proceed from the chaos of events and markets, and not from their calm and stability. The founder of a crypto startup must always be prepared for chaos, for rapidly changing markets and conditions Yes, 2020 was very successful both for many projects and for entire layers of industries, like DeFi, DEX, NFT. Since we are constantly working with projects, we can see the trends. The most successful projects are still those that are fundamentally strong - they have a strong idea and ideally an MVP, they have a strong team, and they are open to trends. You also need to be as mobile as possible in terms of promotion, as building a community is the basis of almost any project. Now from general to practice. I think that the DeFi industry still will have very strong positions. Based on this, there’s a rising trend in crypto fundraising - IDO, Initial DEX Offering - the new alternative to IEO and ICO. Hosted on different decentralised exchanges it can be a really good good option for many projects as it’s cheaper than IEO and can connect projects with its community directly. More and more projects just list their tokens at DEXs and work with market making and marketing together to drive traders to buy their tokens at secondary markets. Another big trend is NFT. It has many interesting implementations and can be a real new revolution in crypto. There are also more interesting projects to come - for example, those who are built on PolkaDot, those who will form the new infrastructure of ETH 2.0 and so on. But still the main driving factor and the biggest challenge for blockchain start-ups is building a community. Community members are those who move the project forward, spread the word about it, test it, invest their time and money in it. So for most of the projects to build a very strong, active and big international community is the most important thing in long term conditions. How to make it? Well, currently we see the high quality AMAs in big Telegram and Discord chats work very good. Also, we pretty often work with influencers - they should not be always super huge, but they should have real, active communities. You can attract more members with different activities - from testnet trials to different quizzes, challenges and involving promotions. And there is much more to do and test. With all this, we have helped many projects this year to become successful and will continue to do it in 2021. Otherwise, you can read about my predictions for the crypto industry for 2021 in my article on Hacker Noon and in my Twitter Suvrangsu Das - Blockchain enthusiast, mediax.agency Founder In 2021, crypto startups will launch into an atmosphere of much greater price hype. Bitcoin is again the king, which means that attracting attention to crypto projects may be easier. But convincing people that your project is worthy and will not be another failed token or obscure coin may be harder. The good thing is, projects are not just applying blockchain to anything, hoping that it will be a good solution. It is clear there is great demand for trading and blockchain-based finance tools. Those tools need not exist in themselves, but they already have the chance to become part of a greater ecosystem of DeFi projects, exchanges, trading platforms, and other tools for fast and cheap token transfers. The biggest hurdle to a new crypto startup is to convince users it’s there to build things for the long run. Too many projects became the hot new thing, only to see their token price crash. I advise new startup founders to think hard about their token economics, incentives and potential activity. Afterward, to focus on building up their user base through an intuitive product. There are big markets to grab, still hungry for new investment tools and projects. A crypto startup can look to both untapped communities and newcomers in the crypto space, but also to well-organized networks that are also open to new projects. In 2021, the success of a project will rely on its community and the possibility to gamify and incentivize the usage of new platforms. Cooperation with oracle projects and decentralized exchanges will be key to building a reliable product. Ivan - Co-Founder of cryptotask.org Starting a blockchain startup may be ungrateful in 2020 because the competition is sharp and it all looks very similar to the previous bull market; however when the dust settles, only a handful of great projects and companies will survive. Persistence will make sure you are the one among them. This is the most important thing in blockchain, a lot of people won't and can't recognize high-quality projects because they are being overwhelmed with copycats, however only the truly good ones will survive the next winter, and there lies a chance to be recognized. It's important to have a great marketing team. No matter how good your product is, someone needs to show that to the public, because the noise is high. I would suggest getting a great team or at least a great CMO, and build, build, build. Martin Ploom - Co-Founder, CEO SmartCredit DeFi products are community-driven products - from one side, we need a product, and from another side, we need the community. One needs both, and one needs them in the balance. It's not about just having a product without the community or vice versa. Therefore - you shall not have a fear of having to release early products - because both, your product and community, will learn and grow together! Giorgia Pellizzari - Co-Founder of AMPLIFY The key to launching a successful blockchain startup in 2021 is… sticking to all you already know about launching a startup: deliver value to solve a real problem. The tech is a mean, not the goal. At Amplify, we have chosen to tackle the problem of SME financing, and we decided to use DLTs because they naturally support the business case. The number one mistake that is important to avoid is overcomplicating your MVP. Stick to delivering as much value as possible with quick-to-launch features. If I could go back in time I would definitely choose to build the MVP directly as a PoC. I’d find a real business that believes in the concept and build the MVP for them for free. Brandon Smith - Co-Founder and CEO of Bondly Finance I’m Brandon and I’m a co-founder of Bondly Finance. I’ve spent the past 15 years of my career in financial services, like Citi, Santander, HSBC, and realized: Banks suck and making apps for them sucks even worse. Cryptocurrencies provide a way for us to recreate many of the products and services that we like about banking, without the limitations. This is why we’re so excited about Bondly, because we are building the tools to empower the next generation of financial products and digital assets. As a founder in the blockchain space, we are constantly looking for new ways to innovate and, through our NFT based card game, BCCG, we have been able to make progress on this mission. Digital assets and NFT’s create opportunities for artists to display and sell their art in an open market. This new ecosystem will help the $4 Trillion Digital Assets Market that will be entering into crypto throughout the next bull run. As a crypto founder in 2021 and beyond, it’s so important to have clarity around a vision and stick to that vision no matter what. As this industry moves at such a fast pace, it’s easy to get distracted or discouraged by constant news, price action, and more - but as a founder it is so important that you stay focused on your delivery over everything else. Conclusion The year-end for 2020 arrives with a above $731B. The valuation looks to be on track to beat the early 2018 record of above $761B. But the coins and tokens making up that valuation are vastly different. Many of the hot projects of 2017 are already forgotten, having been delisted long ago or facing fines from regulators. total crypto market cap At the end of 2020, BTC still reigns over altcoins and tokens. The biggest difference is the heightened interest from companies buying up significant BTC portfolios as a store of value. Perhaps the biggest shakedown for the crypto space is the crash of XRP in December 2020. Having been one of the top coins for a long time, XRP was delisted from most top exchanges and brokerages, including Coinbase. The XRP rally broke and the asset lost more than 60% of its value, crashing down to $0.20. In 2021, the crypto space may see the final verdict on whether XRP is a security. The coming year will reveal any repercussions for other crypto coins and tokens falling under the scope of the or other regulators. In general, 2020 has seen much more restrictions on crypto trading for US-based owners. China and other Asian countries, however, make up for some of the lost volumes. US Securities and Exchange Commission But the world of crypto trading and investment will never return to the free-for-all opportunity it was back in 2017.

9 Experts Weigh In: How to Launch Your Blockchain Startup in 2021

Vessel is a fast, open source, high-level, web crawling and scraping framework for Ruby, built on top of — a minimal-dependency pure-Ruby driver for running headless Google Chrome instances. Ferrum Why would you need a web crawler? Perhaps you're building a search engine for an intranet or a group of public-facing websites, or just need to mirror a website with finer-grained control than tools such as wget offer. Crawl, walk, run The best way to demonstrate Vessel's capabilities is with an example. Don't worry, just because of what Vessel's capable of, it doesn't mean that it's hard to use. To get started, add Vessel to your Gemfile: gem "vessel" Next, let's build the crawler class. Create a spider.rb, in which we'll define a Spider class that derives from Vessel::Cargo, configure the crawling parameters and provide a parse callback method that will be invoked for each page that's retrieved (if you don't provide one, the Vessel::Cargo will raise a NotImplementedError when a page has been retrieved). The code for that is below: { |title| puts title } require "vessel" < :: " . . " " :// . . " (". - > > "). | | ( : . (: ), : : ) (" . - - "). | | ( : . (: ), : : ) . . class Spider Vessel Cargo domain blog scrapinghub com start_urls https blog scrapinghub com def parse css post header h2 a each do a yield request url a attribute href method parse_article end css a next posts link each do a yield request url a attribute href method parse end end def parse_article yield page title end end Spider run Most of this should be fairly self-explanatory. Behind the scenes, Vessel will employ a thread pool to perform the requests, defaulting to one thread per core (you can change this by adding threads max: n to the class definition). You can run the crawler with: bundle exec ruby spider.rb The output will be the title of each page as it's crawled and parsed by Chrome, and passed back to your Ruby class. Fast as Chrome, dead simple and yet extendable You can see from the example how easy it is to scrape — extract structured data from typically-unstructured web pages — using Ferrum's DOM methods. The example code above simply follows (via the request method) two different kinds of links (identified by their CSS-style selectors) and ignores everything else, save for the page title which is ultimately emitted as output, but you can perform any kind of information extraction of your choosing here. And whilst scraping is powerful, scraping with a crawler gives you a lot more power: rather than being confined to scraping individual pages, Vessel gives you the ability to extract data across a whole site, or set of sites, giving you complete control over exactly what links are followed and what data is returned along the way, and how what you do with it afterwards. Generate a CSV with collated tabular data? Sure, no problem. Or output JSON that you can feed into something else? That's straightforward, too. https: //github.com/rubycdp/vessel In fact, with Vessel and Ferrum, you can crawl, parse, extract, and transform web content with so little effort, you'll wonder why you ever had to do it any other way before!

Effective Ways To Get More Out Of Vessel Framework

Developing and releasing open-source solutions is a common practice that has been adopted by companies like Red Hat, Facebook, Google, and Amazon. IT companies that make products available as open-source software have become a sensation in the investment environment. Confluent, Neo4j, HashiCorp, and GitLab are just a few examples of companies that have managed to attract large investments. At Evrone, we encourage our employees to and provide them with logos and custom websites and assist in the promotion of their projects. Why would companies, ranging from mid-sized outsourcing businesses to technological giants, make their products available as open-source software? Let’s find out. build open-source products How is open-source code different from regular everyday code? When you make your source code available, you gain a lot of additional responsibilities. Your code is publicly accessible, meaning anyone can use it, and you, as the author, are responsible for the quality of the code, covering it with tests, documentation, answering questions and responding to bug reports in a timely manner, and processing pull-requests. Therefore, your approach to writing open-source code that the whole world will see is often more complex and involved than your approach to writing code for a project just to make it work. An open-source project lives its own life, built by the community that forms around it. Ideas, feedback, bug reports, discussions, and gratitude from other members of the community directly affect you and the project, and encourage you to write understandable, documented, covered-by-tests code. When you publicly distribute the source code, it is put on display for everyone. Awareness of this fact obliges you to write code in a generally accepted manner (in accordance with the language in which you write), observe indentation, add descriptions to methods and classes (at least to public ones), adequately name variables, classes, methods and functions, and observe the Don’t Repeat Yourself principle. From Evrone's welcome book, each new employee of the company learns that if they want to work on open-source projects or develop them from scratch, we are happy to pay for this work and support it. This can include creating a logo and project identity, as well as writing, distributing, and promoting articles about the project. Some of our clients support this approach and allow us to publish openly accessible tools that were born in the course of our work on their commercial projects. We try to convince others to adopt this practice, because of the virtues of the open-source business model, which we’ve entitled “The Three P’s.” Publicity, principles, and profit Free software, created with the support of Evrone, is used around the world, from China to the USA, and we’ve been featured by tech media many times. Feeling like rock stars is a guilty pleasure of the companies that invest in open-source. Another pleasant experience is knowing that your project is useful. When the number of downloads grows, when you get good reviews, when people from all over the world join the project and together you make it better,  that is what makes the code worth writing. At this point, simple code writing to solve particular tasks develops into a contribution to the IT community. Publicity. Almost all the programming languages and frameworks are open-source, and when we use them in commercial projects, we make a profit. So, it is only logical to give back and support the community with valuable new tools. There is no need to upload your projects as a whole. Small pieces, classes, methods, adapters, etc., of which your project consists, can be useful to others as well. The IT community will respond to your input by searching and fixing bugs and vulnerabilities, complementing functionality, and improving performance. You may even find a great new employee amid the active contributors. Principles. This comes as a result of the two previous P’s. Publications in tech media can provide viral coverage, which brings us one step closer to new clients. In addition, community collaboration on open-source projects improves the tools and solutions that we create and provides us with innovative new ones. Which, in turn, allows us to better meet our clients’ needs. So, contributing to open-source projects can be useful and profitable long term. Profit. The TODO Group, a network of open-source program managers, recently performed the annual survey of corporate open-source programs, and it revealed some interesting findings on the actual advantages of open-source software development. Even the survey results and questions are open-source, under the CC BY-SA license. Below you can see the infographics that illustrates the replies to the questions: "What are the areas where your company most benefited from the open-source program?" According to the survey, the main benefits of managing an open-source program are: Increased innovation Awareness of open-source usage/dependencies Increased development agility/speed Faster time to market Culture and interaction improvement, higher quality code In addition, both this survey and a study done by Coverity found that open-source programs often feature better security than proprietary software. Fewer bugs were found in open-source programs, and defects were typically fixed much more quickly after they were discovered. Design and promotion for every project Each open-source project created by Evrone developers receives a logo for GitHub, illustrations, and articles. When a project is published, we help promote it. Periodically, we get more coverage than we originally expected. For instance, our Flutter Audio Plugin was retweeted by , one of the core team members of Flutter and Dart. Eventually, we even got the chance to interview him. Tim Sneath Of course, our primary interest lies in promoting the company, but we want the author to benefit, as well. As the developer, their name is on the GitHub project and any media promoting it, so they can boost their resume with articles and publications about their accomplishments with their open-source project. Open-source created by Evrone So far we have sponsored seven independent GitHub open-source projects, and each one has generated the benefits described above. Together, they earned almost 4,000 stars on GitHub. — A plugin for recording and playing speech. Born while working on an application to decrypt meetings with doctors. Optimized for use with Google's speech recognition services. Flutter audio — A Ruby gem that allows you to control Chrome through the Chrome DevTools Protocol when performing integration tests. It works with a bunch of tabs at once and can do many useful tasks, from taking screenshots to emulating keystrokes on the keyboard or mouse. Ferrum — A driver for Capybara that allows you to use Ferrum. All the necessary functions and no additional API. Cuprite — An open-source tool for scanning and retrieving data from web pages, based on Ferrum. Great for analysts, content managers, and anyone else who needs to automatically collect data from many sites at once. Vessel — Plugin for scaling cross-platform application interfaces for any device. Converts pixels to viewport values, which simplifies sizing in complex interfaces, for example, in mobile games. Popular in China, as the country produces a huge number of Android devices with different screen settings.

Why Open-Source Products Are More Popular Than Kim Kardashian

Intro 3 months ago, after a few days of researching, I wrote on hackernoon about social mining platform by ICO AGENCY Back in the time, I was just blockchain enthusiast trying out the platform and starting to like it. an article DAO MAKER's . In the sake of better understanding, I will provide you a brief explanation of what is social mining platform. Social mining by DAO MAKER's is the idea that users that help build an open-source cryptocurrency ecosystem should be rewarded in its native currency. It is essentially a plugin solution for any blockchain to help it to become a decentralized autonomous organization. Social mining is built on the principle that any users can upload and describe the work that they have done for the ecosystem, which is then validated by other community members who are incentivized to do so. If you want to know in detail what Social Mining by is and how it works you can check out my DAO MAKER's first article. THE STORY Chapter 1 - Social Mining giving me the incentive to get better . Social mining was firstly implemented by LTO Network where I started my journey. I was trying to bring some value to the LTO ecosystem to satisfy stakeholders and receive some tokens as a reward. I had no special talent or field of expertise. Memes and funny videos were my only weapons. After a few payouts, I was not satisfied with my results. I looked up at the biggest earners, I saw their outstanding work and I knew that I can't reach those levels making memes as value. So I started to write. My first articles were bad, but some users motivate me and thanks to Social Mining I was having a big incentive to get better Chapter 2 - Key decision I decided to leave memes, lazy articles and focus on greater and harder tasks. Social mining back then had very little articles or documents to learn from (As it's still in alpha phase). There was only unfinished whitepaper and the CEO of DAO MAKER's Christoph Zaknun . No more places to get information from, but I started. I was reading about the game theory that is behind the social mining all the algorithms, indexes and mechanism that are making sure the platform is unplayable and fair. I fall in love with the platform and the story behind DAO MAKER's . No crowdfunding or no private investors - just 2 dudes building the platform for 1 year with their private funds. Chapter 3 - Where to submit my article? Hackernoon?! I was always tough by Chris that SM platform is only to show results of your work. Not to post my article there, since it would reach 0 new users and this way the value would be 0 as well. Hackernoon was an obvious choice, but... I am not a writer this was my first big article. Will I get accepted? I was thinking that my article will get rejected, but to my surprise, it passed! 4 days of hard work and research paid off! I was able to publish my results on SM platform and I got a lot of positive votes and reputation this of course lead towards better payout. Chapter 4 - The results will come My hard work payout out. After two articles on hackernoon and a few more on other websites (as I was all submitting to SM platform since it was LTO relevant). One day the CEO of wrote to me that he saw that my article reached hackernoon, he also asked me if I could help him with integrating SM platform to the new project and it's community, since I have the knowledge to do it. I tried my best to do it as well as possible. I worked day and night in order to impress everyone to showcase my relevancy. DAO MAKER's Chapter 5 - I MADE IT! Yes, I made it, after my test month, I was able to grand trust and prove myself in from of the DAO MAKER team and now I am able to work with them. We went a long way right now SM is implemented by projects like Harmony, LTO, Ferrum or exciting startup like 2key . 3 months ago I was writing my first ever social mining article on hackernoon and now I work as a DAO MAKER team member with Harmony. Helping them in implementing the platform and meeting interesting and skillful people. CONCLUSION I am the best example and proof that social mining is working and that it incentivizing people to bring outstanding value to the project ecosystem. Thanks to my journey I am very grateful and I am educating people about what is social mining and how it can help save projects communities. Thank you all for reading Benji Who are DAO MAKER's ?

How My First Hackernoon Article Helped Me Get a Job in the Blockchain Space

As the world of cryptocurrencies develops, new projects started to appear more and more frequently. It was a wonderful time when there were many people on the market with good ideas and not bad intentions. To create their product, these companies needed money to develop. Traditional methods of raising capital were poorly applicable to blockchain companies. found a way out. In mid-2014, together with Ethereum, he held one of the first ICOs in history, not everyone knows, but along with this ICO, the first bounty campaign was held. Vitalik Buterin Birth Hidden or explicit advertising of the project from hundreds of unrelated people from all over the world in various social networks, gave a very good result, which, together with a very promising business idea by ​​Vitalik himself, allowed his team to collect a colossal amount of 31591 bitcoins at that time (Exchange rate at that time corresponded to an amount of more than $ 18.4 million). The resounding success of the world's first ICO made a splash in the world of cryptocurrencies. Vitalik Buterin showed everyone how to attract money to Ethereum and how, at relatively low cost, you can promote your project around the world in a variety of categories of people. Therefore, it is not surprising that, after Ethereum, this a model of raising funds along with the new method of its advertising was adopted by all other startups in the cryptocurrency world. Thus began the crazy life of bounty campaigns as the most common way of advertising the cryptocurrency projects. Finest hour The high point of the bounty campaigns was rather short, it fell in the second half of 2017 and the first few months of 2018. Several factors contributed to its onset: The rapid growth of the entire cryptocurrency market that began in 2017. Due to this explosive growth, rivers of external money and thousands of new participants in this market poured onto the market. This gave rise to a kind of vicious circle - the injection of new money contributed to an ultra-fast increase in the value of cryptocurrencies - as a result, market participants received huge profits in a short period of time - this ever-increasing hype attracted new people with money to the market - this money poured into the market and contributed to further growth in the value of cryptocurrencies, thus the circle closed and continued to spin for several months. All this money flowed into not only Bitcoin but also into hundreds of cryptocurrency startups that appeared on the market like mushrooms after the rain, conducted their ICOs, collecting tens of millions of dollars. The presence of a large amount of money on the market made it possible for startups to enter the exchange and in the very first weeks of trading, the price of tokens/coins of these companies, which at the start of trading was already much higher than during the ICO, soared many times more to the top. This allowed ICO participants to make a profit in just a few months, which was tens, and sometimes hundreds of times higher than the initial investment. The excitement around the ICO has become so great that at some point in time, to participate in the most promising projects was almost impossible, their coins/tokens were sold in seconds. But what about the bounty campaigns? Almost every ICO startup in parallel with ICO held its own bounty campaign to attract even more potential investors. The budgets of these campaigns were quite large, but the number of participants was not. This allowed the participants of the bounty in 2017, making simple actions in the form of reposts, likes, writing their posts, simple articles and other things, to earn many thousands of dollars on one campaign. I personally knew people who in those days managed to earn from one bounty up to $10,000 at the same time, without investing a penny of their own money. And earnings in the amount of $1,000 - $5,000 were not uncommon in those interesting times for active and smart people. Death The fame of big and easy money spreads fast. This fame was one of the main causes of death for bounty campaigns. Those who had money invested them in ICOs. But, there was an even greater number of people who did not have money but had a great desire to receive it. Get a lot and quickly, preferably not trying hard. The huge earnings that the bounty participants managed to get during the period of the highest hype around cryptocurrencies attracted a huge number of poorly educated people from developing third world countries to this industry. This entailed the appearance in each bounty campaign a huge number of participants who generated a large amount of low-quality content, simply spam. The number of earnings for participating in a bounty campaign depended on the number of subscribers on the participant’s social networks. The emergence of a large number of bounty hunters contributed to the spread of such a phenomenon as a mutual subscription. Bounty participants began to identify themselves using hashtags on social networks (#followback, #follow4followback, and others) and using these hashtags to search for other participants of the bounty campaigns and then mutually subscribe to each other's accounts. This led to the emergence of thousands of accounts with thousands and tens of thousands of subscribers who, in fact, were dead. Indeed, from the very beginning, the main idea of ​​the bounty campaign was based on the fact that the subscribers of the bounty participants were real people. And these accounts were valuable, as they were viewed and read by real people who also wanted to earn easy money and invested in ICOs. But there were also scammers. People who know the system and are well oriented in it began to break the rules in order to further increase their earnings through deception. The most common occurrence among this was the creation of multi-account farms. This happened as follows: a person began to create dozens of accounts of fictional people on various social networks, then, using mutual subscription, he quickly increased the number of subscribers to these accounts, and then began to register all these accounts to participate in the same bounty campaign. Once upon a time I personally had a small hobby and I was on the Bitcointalk forum searching for these multi-account farms. I did not do this for very long, but even that time was enough for me to find 2 farms in each of which there were 70 - 75 accounts! And farms with 5 - 20 accounts could be found in dozens. These farms generated the content of the lowest quality and if the bounty manager was not attentive or did not take their work seriously (and often the bounty managers themselves were owners of these farms), then the fraud was successful. At the peak of its popularity, I saw bounty campaigns in which up to 5000 people participated simultaneously, think about this figure and imagine how much spam these “people” generated. The most interesting thing is that as a result of the factors which I wrote above, the effect of such a bounty campaign for ICO projects began to tend to zero. But the industry gained momentum and did not stop immediately, a large number of participants in the bounty campaigns led to the fact that in order to interest as many participants as possible, the budget of the bounty campaigns was constantly increasing. Especially with this was fraudulent ICO projects that launched bounties with simply fantastic budgets of 1 - 2 million dollars !!! All this madness, both with the mad profits from participating in the ICO and with the huge earnings of the bounty hunters, could not last long. Along with the general decline of the cryptocurrency market in 2018, the ICO boom began to decline, and with it the bounty campaigns. Little money remained on the market, and more scammers appeared. With each new failed ICO, which was accompanied by a large bounty campaign, startup leaders who planned to enter the market were convinced that there was very little practical sense from the bounty campaign. For the bounty campaigns, the fame of the spam breeding ground was fixed. As of the end of 2019, new bounty campaigns practically do not appear, most of the remaining bounty managers are unemployed. And those bounty campaigns that continue to be held are mostly owned to some extent by fraudulent projects. The trend has clearly begun to appear in mid-2019 with every month showing itself more and more - the bounty campaigns are dying. What's next? The fact that something is wrong with the industry of the bounty campaigns, people began to understand at the end of 2017. The first attempt to correct the situation was the appearance in early 2018 of automated bounty platforms similar to BountyHive or BountyOx. Partially, these sites solved the issue of multi-account farms, but they could not solve the problem of low-quality content issued by participants and their dead accounts with winded subscribers. The effectiveness of conducting bounty campaigns at these sites still continued to strive for 0. As a result, they failed to achieve any great popularity on the market. And, in my opinion, following the traditional bounty campaigns, these sites will also be closed. Some companies that needed marketing promotion of their brand or product, but which did not want to mess with the bounty, themselves tried to come up with their own ways of advertising. Someone arranged bounty sections on their sites and conducted campaigns in them similar to traditional bounty campaigns trying to track scammers and control the quality of content, but this practice was not widespread because, on the one hand, it required companies to spend a lot of time on these campaigns and whose strengths were often lacking. On the other hand, it did not solve the problem of dead accounts, since the main participants in these campaigns were still ordinary bounty hunters. Other companies tried to advertise themselves by actively working with the community and on social networks, organizing frequent contests, quizzes, with valuable prizes. How successful these attempts were, depended on the experience and perseverance of the people who carried out this work in each individual company. But the market does not tolerate emptiness and the empty niche of this area of ​​digital marketing should have been closed. I understood that this direction of digital marketing could not completely die, it should have degenerated into something new, protected from all those diseases that hit the traditional bounty. But I could not imagine how this can be done in practice. I had no idea until the fall of 2019. In the fall, I accidentally discovered the existence of DAO MAKER ICO agency, a company that provides digital marketing services to its customers. One of the most popular business areas of this company is the provision of social mining platform services. The social mining platform is a , which is created separately for each client. The main objective of this platform is aimed, to reward the token holders of this company for any actions performed by the token holder that contributed to the success of the project. Every time a token holder performs an action aimed at promoting the company, the community votes on the value that this action brings to the project. decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) Subsequently, this token holder receives a reward in the form of company tokens commensurate with his contribution to the development and promotion of the company. For a company that uses a social mining platform, this is useful because it creates an ecosystem that allows the community of any project to effectively use their mutual resources to improve its token. Each community action aimed at improving the effectiveness of the project is rewarded based on the added value estimated by the community of token holders. Having familiarized myself with the work and principles of this platform, I was surprised to understand that this platform completely solves all the problems that destroyed the bounty compaigns. In order to become a member of the platform, you must have and constantly store a certain number of company tokens on your wallet and often this is not a small number of tokens. This solves the problem of the invasion of hundreds of spammers craving for a quick profit. Any action aimed at promoting the company for which the user wants to receive a reward should be registered on the social mining platform and other users of the platform together with company representatives will evaluate the degree of usefulness of this action. This solves the issue of the quality of the content that the community generates. If someone starts creating low-quality content, it will be immediately appreciated by community members and the user will not receive any reward for such activity. Scammers will also not be able to create multi-account farms on the platform since on the one hand, it will require from the fraudster to acquire the necessary number of tokens in order to be allowed to participate. On the other hand, it’s very difficult to simultaneously produce high-quality content for many accounts, and a fraudster simply won’t get anything for producing low-quality content. And finally, the platform itself provides several levels of protection against fraudsters, similar to tracking and mapping IP addresses of different users. The DAO MAKER company appreciates its reputation very much and therefore starts cooperation only with the best companies that are guaranteed not to be scammers. These are like young, but already established companies that have already entered the market such as the , , , k, and others. Harmony Protocol LTO Network Elrond Network Ferrum Networ In addition to the already held companies that have already managed to successfully conduct their ICO / IEO. also works with young startups who are just starting their journey. The most striking example of such cooperation can be called a partnership with , a mega-promising project that develops the technology of “smart links”, has managed to combine traditional HTTP links with smart contracts based on the Ethereum blockchain and multi-stage tracking capabilities! DAO MAKER 2key Network This technology opens up completely new opportunities that were not achievable before in the markets of digital advertising, referral companies, and charity. Unlike others, the technology of 'smart links' is compatible with both WEB 3.0 and WEB 2.0 which distant competitors were deprived of. Smart Link initially keeps track of who provided the link, and if the link leads to a revenue-generating action, each member receives a share. democratizes the distribution of values ​​by improving what people already do: share links. 2key 2key Network To support network requirements, is built on its own Ethereum second-level solution, which suppresses the blockchain trilemma. In my opinion, the company simply has grandiose prospects. 2key For me personally, the social mining platform is exactly the evolution of the bounty campaigns that the market was waiting for. And the future of this digital marketing segment lies with the decision of and possible analogs that may appear on this platform in the future.

Bounty Campaigns: From Life To Death 

Personal branding in the cryptocurrency world is everything. In this very young space where reputation is everything, everyone has to work on their very own brand. When building your brand, you are most often forced to work for free sacrificing a lot of your time. I am not saying that it’s a mistake, but what if I told you that there is a way to brand yourself, earn money and get the exposure you need at the same time. Social Mining - great way to brand yourself What is social mininig? Social mining is the idea that users that help build an open-source cryptocurrency ecosystem should be rewarded in its native currency. It is essentially a plugin solution for any blockchain to help it to become a decentralized autonomous organization. Social mining is built on the principle that any users can upload and describe the work that they have done for the ecosystem, which is then validated by other community members who are incentivized to do so. Thanks to social mining people can now display their skill set that they can provide to the ecosystem and get a payment (workdrop) for doing so. 1. Do what you love and what you are best at People will not remember you if you are average at content writing, design, developing and marketing. Why should they? It’s more likely that they remember people that are mastering their abilities in a particular field.You should focus on one field or others would tell find your niche. What do you love? What is making you happy and fulfilled? Those are very important questions. If you don’t know yet, it’s never too late to try all those things and start to master the one you enjoy the most.It’s the same in social mining. I personally went through youtube videos, memes, review writing, researching, etc… To finally find my niche. 2. Push yourself and don’t let your ego to take over Perhaps this is the difference-maker. This often separates successful people from unsuccessful ones. If you are starting there will be downvotes, criticisms and maybe sometimes sniggering. Yes, sometimes maybe you fell that you’ve done a good job, that those downvotes have no covering, but remember people are not only downvoting because the content is bad. In social mining, the downvotes are also used as a balance. If a post A and B got the same amount of upvotes, but if someone thinks that a post A took much more work, he can slightly downvote post B to put it on its true value.I saw many examples of people leaving SM because they were thinking that they are the best. Their ego was too high to receive criticisms and downvotes. But thankfully I saw some people transforming from average or bad users to very good ones. Mastering their abilities and right now they are very well branded among the community. 3. Work together with other social miners and try to be a leader Let say that you are a good designer, but you don’t have enough reach with your designs and the ecosystem is benefiting not so much from your work. Here is where you should take some steps of action. Social mining is full of influencers and people that would use your designs. It’s in everyone's incentive to connect such people together. So you can make a design specially for influencers and they can show it to the world. EXAMPLE: He needed an infographic for his event. Why should he hire a 3rd party person? That would charge stupid money? if there is a guy in a community who is doing great design and thanks to his great designs and his great self-branding. Nick V. (Harmony digital marketer) - was doing a public “ Social mining strategy talk for November” with the community. harmony social mining Reward for infographics So this was made by the great community member + he uploads it into the to show his proof of value and he got rewarded. social mining But it doesn’t end there. Nick had a great event with the community and after the event, he posted a PoV from his side as well. As you can see the design actually brought real value to the ecosystem. Since thanks to it, more people attend the event. This is just a simple example of how it should work. It can be even more complex. The designer is making design for a content writer after this content writer is sending his article to an influencer who is sharing and promoting it. The best part is that everyone is getting a reward payment. How to upload PoV? It’s super easy if your value is based on reach, you can every month or bi-weekly upload an activity where you will bring down all your PoV all the statics and hard facts that you can provide. Giving big stakeholders even more confident that you are the one to upvote since you are bringing the real value backed by numbers 4. Everything you do do it with 100% drive and determination Some even say that enthusiasm is even more important than a great skillset. There might be a little bit of truth in that. As I am talking from my personal experience.Whatever you do do it 100% try to impress people with your work ethic and drive. Make them respect you and remember. When they will need to full-time hire someone or someone for a one-shot job they will remind themselves about you. This is how you will be able to slowly be a bigger and bigger name in the crypto world. Are you ready to start your journey? Are you motivated and determined enough? Start from joining social mining, working on yourself and work with other people. The results will always come, sooner or later. Join social mining today in Harmony , 2key , Ferrum or LTO and prove everyone wrong, prove that you can do the unthinkable that you can achieve your dreams through social mining and hard work.
