Thanks to the growing number of people who @getMaiar & engage with the @ElrondNetwork ecosystem, the number of accounts doubled to over 320k & we’re over 2.5M TXs, an unprecedented adoption level for a 6 months-young mainnet.
#hypergrowth100 Day 40
Weekly #elrondtech ⬇️

 1/ The Delegation Manager toolset has been released for testnet integrations, ahead of our imminent mainnet upgrade. It enables staking providers to set up & manage staking pools, nodes, fees & other parameters for their customers.

2/ We updated the libp2p libraries to the latest release & found out that they work seamlessly with their old counterparts. Congrats @libp2p team for the effort put in backward compatibility. We know how complex that is. :handshake:
https://t.co/29I6YRtjud
3/ Redesigned the async call & token transfer syntax in our Arwen WASM VM. Interactions between contracts are now “return types”, which makes execution flow more intuitive. Callbacks have also been redesigned.
https://t.co/wh6BIBeDUd
4/ Arwen WASM VM updates continued:
- Integrated new Arwen and new features of Arwen into elrond-go. Added a set of integration tests for different scenarios.
- Fixed a bug in Arwen VM which did not let one contract to deploy multiple contracts.
5/ - Added unit and integration tests with a smart contract factory example.
- Testing the new Arwen async-calls & promises
- Arwen & elrond-wasm testing of various scenarios involving async calls and ESDT token transfers.
6/ - Made lots of fixes for Arwen's new multi-asyn call infrastructure (Promises).
- Continuous integration improvements - run tests on pull request (arwen-wasm-vm - added; elrond-wasm-rs - in progress)
7/ - Added new features for transferring value or transferring ESDT & calling other (multiple) smart contracts without the asynchronous call & callback functionality. This enables one contract to send & call functionalities from multiple contracts from the same execution
8/ - Improved the mechanism of sending back value to a contract through an asynchronous callback. This value can be any eGLD or ESDT. The treatment works both in and cross-shard

9/ Other notable achievements:
- Worked on the NFT standard for elrond-go. Sharded NFTs where users will keep their one NFTs at their own address. A lot of features here: like creating a brand, creating a marketplace without smart contract (will accept any value - ESDT / eGLD).
10/ - working on a wrapper over the API handler so when the node is syncing after a shuffle out, API endpoints could return messages that signal the node is currently syncing, instead of starting the API webserver only after the sync is finished.
11/ - Testnet release T1.1.28.0 was commissioned that fixes several bugs.
- Updated all other major 3-rd party libraries to their latest versions
- Fixed several tests that had nondeterministic execution paths leading to different code coverage values.
12/ - Finished a trie sync optimization that should decrease the time took by the node to get in sync with the rest of the network.
- Working on an ERC1155 smart contract
- Finalized unit tests for block execution invariant
- Refactored transaction coordinator with arguments
13/ - Tested the delegation manager and delegation SC.
- Ledger Nano S tests after deploying of the latest version.
- Added a response logger middleware on Elrond Proxy so we can have a better overview over failing requests
- Analyzed the runtime memory usage of the Elrond node.
14/ - Added a new endpoint that returns all the key-value pairs stored under a specified address
- Worked on support for Testnet BTC on our fork of Trust Wallet Core (this feature will be used on Maiar).
- Fixed a concurrency issue on Observers, within the VM Querying components
15/ - Minor fixes and extra tests in the wallet utilities of erdjs.
- Sketched a Python prototype for trivial secret splitting (involving one-time pads and basic modular arithmetic) - could be useful for Maiar in the future.
- Working on automatic elrond-sdk docs publishing
16/ - Optimizations on the node names and identities.
- Investigate failed relayed TXs from the backend.
- Refactored API resolvers and adapted the latest changes in economics to the soft restart feature branch.
17/ - Refactoring integrity checks to expose a single CheckIntegrity function
- Create logs parsing tool for bad transactions and used it to identify/debug some user registration failures in Maiar.
- Started to improve overall error logging in elrond-go
18/ - Implemented EIP 2334 javascript module that allows you to derive multiple bls keys from a 24 words mnemonic
- Work on TransactionConverter to replace function references in other components
- Tested different branches to ensure compatibility & protocol overall quality
19/ - Started to refactor different components from elrond-go to ensure clean code quality
- Implemented a disabled node facade for the new API refactoring & the unit tests to ensure code coverage
- Working on chainlink - aggregator smart contract
20/ - Added 2 new github action on the elrond-go repository, one to check if test coverage was increased or decreased and one to ensure if all our 3-rd party modules are up to date
- Continue to working on the task to move all the elastic indexer code in a new repository
21/ - Refactoring transaction status computer component
- Improve error handling and add unit tests
22/ "Stay Hungry Stay Foolish" and tune in soon for more of the #Elrondtech which powers the
@ElrondNetwork ecosystem. Check our progress & get involved 👇

How Amazon makes money?

[ Amazon's business model decoded😃]

@dmuthuk @unseenvalue @FI_InvestIndia @Vivek_Investor @drprashantmish6 @caniravkaria

🧵👇


1/ A person named Jeffery earns 100 dollars per month and has an expenditure of 120 dollars monthly. He has a very good reputation in the society. So, he takes a loan of 1k dollars for a month and this 1k cash is invested in new business ventures.

2/ For the next month, he pays his liability back by taking a loan from another person for 1.5k dollars. The loan of 1k is paid back and the remaining 500 dollars are invested in another business venture.

3/ By the end of the month, he earns 150 dollars through his old and new business ventures but has a total expenditure of 200 dollars. He again is in a deficit of 50 dollars. To pay back his 1.5k dollar loan, he takes a loan for 2k dollars

4/ This cycle goes on and on. Jeffery keeps on taking bigger loans to repay the previous loan and the leftover extra loan is invested in bigger ventures which produce more expense than income.

Employees vs Employers

“We who toil for other people have all in some way been captured by pirates and sold into slavery.” –Law 24

It should be said plainly; employment is nothing more than the next step in the evolution of slavery.

The corporation you are employed by has a psychopathic level of indifference as to whether you live or die.

This is not Leftwing political rhetoric; it is a machiavellian reality you will have to contend with.

Your employer is not your ally; they are your adversary.

It is in your best interest for wages to be as high as possible, while it is in your employer’s best interest for wages to be as low as possible.

It is hard to build a profitable internet business at scale in India, but not impossible. Let me talk about ixigo's FY2020 performance. But first, the back story (with @rajnishkumar)

It was 2016. We had 3 Million MAUs (mostly organic) and were getting closer to 20 crores annual revenue. We were trying to raise money because we had just 12 months of burn left in the bank.

Out of many conversations, I remember one with a VC in our office who asked us our CAC-LTV ratio. TBH, we didn't track it in those days because we always made money on the first transaction itself and didn't spend a lot on customer acquisition, but I remember the look we got !

Yet another one gave us advice - "Look it's been 10 years since launch, travel is done and dusted, why don't you guys try doing something else". We felt dejected for a bit but went back to work the next day - not the first or last time we would face rejections.

I met @shaileshlakhani (after many years) at an Unpluggd event in Bengaluru in early 2016, and we sat down to chat about ixigo. He was the first investor we met in a long time who saw us not for who we were but for who we could become.

Diff between Bajaj Finance and HDFC bank customer experience

My friend who got loan from both says BAF charged him 4% higher interest rate than HDFC bank. But process of disbursement was so fast and simple that he got amount in his account in 2 days. While HDFC bank took 2 weeks

It’s all about cost saving against convenience/urgency. I think Bajaj Finance has a very good value proposition.

Cherthala Karthyayani Kshetram
#Alappuzha, Kerala
#KeralaTemples 🚩

Cherthala Karthyayani Temple Prathishta was done by Vilwamangalam Swamy. Chertala Pooram is very famous. Devi is Mangalya Dayini here removes obstacles relating to marriages. Sthala Puranam says that, once 👇


Vilwamangalam Swamiyar was passing this area after Prathista of Padmananbhaswamy Temple, he felt Devi chaitanyam and recognized as Karthyayani Devi. But Devi seeing Vilwamangalam went inside the pond. Swamy searched for Devi continously for 6 days and on 7th day Vilwamangalam


got hold of Devi's hair. Thus only Devi's head is Prathishta here. Devotees do Kozhi parathal ( offering cock) here as an offering to Karthyayani Devi.

I've spoken to 1,500+ people about remote work in the last 9 months

A few predictions of what is likely to emerge before 2030

[ a thread ] 💻🏠🌍

🚜 Rural Living: World-class people will move to smaller cities, have a lower cost of living & higher quality of life

These regions must innovate quickly to attract that wealth. Better schools, faster internet connections are a must

⏰Asynchronous Work: Offices are instantaneous gratification distraction factories where synchronous work makes it impossible to get stuff done

Tools that enable asynchronous work are the most important thing globally remote teams need. A lot of startups will try to tackle this

⚽️Hobbie Renaissance: Remote working will lead to a rise in people participating in hobbies and activities which link them to people in their local community

This will lead to deeper, more meaningful relationships which overcome societal issues of loneliness and issolation

🌍Diversity & Inclusion: The most diverse and inclusive teams in history will emerge rapidly

Companies who embrace it have a first-mover advantage to attract great talent globally. Companies who don't will lose their best people to their biggest competitors

A brief analysis and comparison of the CSS for Twitter's PWA vs Twitter's legacy desktop website. The difference is dramatic and I'll touch on some reasons why.

Legacy site *downloads* ~630 KB CSS per theme and writing direction.

6,769 rules
9,252 selectors
16.7k declarations
3,370 unique declarations
44 media queries
36 unique colors
50 unique background colors
46 unique font sizes
39 unique z-indices

https://t.co/qyl4Bt1i5x


PWA *incrementally generates* ~30 KB CSS that handles all themes and writing directions.

735 rules
740 selectors
757 declarations
730 unique declarations
0 media queries
11 unique colors
32 unique background colors
15 unique font sizes
7 unique z-indices

https://t.co/w7oNG5KUkJ


The legacy site's CSS is what happens when hundreds of people directly write CSS over many years. Specificity wars, redundancy, a house of cards that can't be fixed. The result is extremely inefficient and error-prone styling that punishes users and developers.

The PWA's CSS is generated on-demand by a JS framework that manages styles and outputs "atomic CSS". The framework can enforce strict constraints and perform optimisations, which is why the CSS is so much smaller and safer. Style conflicts and unbounded CSS growth are avoided.

5 star RSI Strategy by @VishalMalkan

Unconventional approach of 60-40 RSI and range shift concept.

According to him,
whenever the market is bearish,
it won’t be able to cross 60,
and whenever in a bullish trend,
it won’t be able to cross 40.

Like & Retweet for Maximum Reach.

So, instead of the 70-30 Relative Strength Index,
we will use the 60-40 range for the RSI indicator for this strategy.

When the
Monthly and Weekly RSI>60,
& when the RSI takes support at 40 in the daily chart,
it may bounce back and most probably it will not go below 40.

If a bullish candle is formed at the 40 RSI level,
the prices may bounce back, and one can enter the stock.

The stoploss can be placed at the low of that bullish candlestick,
and the target can be the 60 RSI level.

When the
Monthly and Weekly RSI<40,
& when the RSI takes resistance at 60 in the daily chart,
it may bounce back and most probably it will not go above 60

If a bearish candle is formed at the 60 RSI level,
the prices may bounce back from there, & 1 can enter the stock 4 shorting

The stoploss can be placed at the high of that bearish candlestick, and the target can be the 40 RSI levels.

#banknifty

This range shift concept can be applied in any timeframe,
whether intraday, daily,weekly, etc.
