B1 June Pain Killer


Pill #1: The Source of Disappointment
Calm down, you are not disappointed by block.one #B1June event. You were just not paying attention that the orgasm happened when the social media platform (voice) news was leaked. How can any other announcement be as exciting after the orgasm?
Pill #2: Universal Basic Income The second reason is the universal basic income that was discussed by Dan Larimer before in his articles, but not elaborated during the event. Although voice.com tokens are incentives for quality content sharing and earning from it, but marketing it as a total replacement for ordinary jobs is a bit of a stretch and it wouldn’t have been wise to do so. Which I think some people expected thinking *universal* basic income. Pill #3: The News Leak If Dan or Brendan leaked the social media platform before the event. I wouldn’t blame them much, because some crypto enthusiasts went too far with their imagination, anything that would have been announced during the event would still not be as exciting as their imagination. So it was actually very wise to give fans some hint as to what it is because we all know what happens when expectations are too high and delivery relatively not on par with Lord of the Rings. Pill #4: Buy Late Sell Low, Cry Hard! There’s a fair number of traders who bought EOS at $8.3 just before the announcement. It is nearly inevitable that many of them did not have enough time to dump their EOS to make the profit they hoped for, and their only choice was to complain. No matter what we do, some people will always buy late. It could be geographical location, laziness, or fomo.. whatever. Pill #5: Faster Than the Speed of Light is Not Exciting If you tell people that you can travel at the speed of light, then if you travel any faster people will not be excited. Dan Larimer is a geek, when he mentioned that EOS.IO 1.0 was 2x, and EOS.IO 2.0 is going to be 12x people weren’t excited much because they don’t know much about the underlying technology that made that happen. They just thought that the current EOS transactions speed (speed of light analogy) is fast enough. And honestly, today I sent many tokens from my EOS account to another, and the transactions were indeed not longer than 1 second on this *old technology* (EOS 1.0) that I wouldn’t understand what *faster* means. I didn’t know that because I have always sent EOS from Binance, not realizing that Binance was the lag not EOS. Also last time I checked there was a fight between Roger & Tom for which is faster and feeless BTC or BCH ABC. The answer is simple, EOS is much faster, fee-less, and decentralized in equal hash (stake) power (block producers) making this argument obsolete but many people are still unaware of it. Pill #6: High Quality Low Quantity Some people complained that the presentation duration was short, like 30 minutes. Actually the announcement is made in 1 minute when Brendan talked about the social media platform they’re building, because the quantity is not important here it is the quality. Sometimes the audience expects to be excited about what they already know, but the truth is the meaning of life is 42. You know why? Because the number didn’t matter, it’s what we have done to make the number, and during. Live the journey and enjoy the destination, not the opposite. Pill #7: Voice.com Rush Dos Attack Many users and investors do not know what a DOS attack is. It is a term for Denial of Service attack. This kind of attack on websites happen when an entity maliciously tries to make thousands of requests to a single domain like website.com and then when the server is unable to respond to these requests it shuts down the service. I do not believe that some entity tried to do this (so far) but I believe that millions of people excited around the world with this announcement literally tried to login the website at the *same time*. Not just because they were excited, but because they wanted to be the first to claim their tokens and make profit out of it. So even their intent was not harmful, but this is an unintended simulation of a Denial of Service attack on voice.com and it was some bad lack for blockOne. But it’s ok, Windows 95 blue screen of death crashed when Bill Gates was making his presentation one day. If people thought Microsoft would be what it is today, they would have bought shit loads of shares celebrating the blue screen. Pill #7: The Announcement Continues In my humble opinion, the announcement for voice.come was huge, but the platform is still in beta stage and the authentication mechanism needs to prove itself over time, which makes the announcement on going with the promise of making a great social media platform. For those who tried SteemIt know how bots overtook the platform and how harmful it was. Dan Larimer learned from his valuable trials and errors, and I think he got it right this time. Let’s hope it works, adopted and see what will happen! Pill #8: Popcorn Audience Misunderstands Education I believe that many users were watching the B1June event as they would watch a Godzilla movie in the theaters. They want someone to sell them BiG Stuff. But the truth is mass adoption of cryptocurrencies needs wide education, and the partnership with Coinbase with a monetary incentive is a PayPal 1991 Deja Vu to some extent. In my country there was a time when people didn’t know how to use Uber application to book a driver. Until today there are such people. Imagine how they would understand public, private, owner, and active key on EOS blockchain with their wallets. Things need to be simple stupid for mass adoption. blockOne understands this, but the majority of geek fans are smart to some extent to understand the technology, that’s why they are unable to imagine how others will have big trouble understanding thinking.. “Seriously? Learn to earn is the announcement?”. The most simple things in life are the most valuable sometimes. If you liked this article and you like to tip with EOS, my account is tommyboy1144

A Simple Color Calibration Guide for Manjaro Linux

When I installed Manjaro Linux on my HP laptop, I noticed that the screen was more blueish than normal. This is a very simple guide on how to fix that in minimal steps. 1. First update your system with sudo pacman -Syyu 2. Download monica color calibration tool (which is basically a GUI front end for xgamma binary) with sudo pacman -S monica 3. Launch Monica from the start menu: At first you will notice that the gamma of all colors are equal to 1. Then you will move the sliders until you can see the colors are balanced as shown. However, you will need a grey color as your reference first. 4. Download this image, or the silver coin of your country from images.google.com , increase your laptop brightness to maximum then start moving the sliders while looking at the silver coins. Your calibration is correct if the coins look as grey as they should, if there is a reddish, blueish, greenish or yellowish color cast, it means something is wrong. In my case, t

Comfort Zone is the End of Self Development

While comfort zone maybe a way for steady income for a period of time, it's usually an end to self development and by the end of this article you'll have a proof why. Comfort zone means that the person has totally adapted interacting with the unique personally traits around, therefore there isn't new interpersonal challenges because s\he now knows how to deal with all of them to get the job done after many, many years of service. In my career I have met many kind of managers/owners with the personality traits that had an impact on me,  and I on them. Here I categorize them with the properties of the 4 elements, Fire, Water,  Air, Earth. The 2 elements mentioned are the dominant in them. Dominance of an element may indicate positive and negative traits of the same element. Water (Emotions) / Air (Intelligence): One of the great direct managers I worked with was emotionally intelligent. For new graduates this kind is perfect for them because he will be patient to te
