Bitcoin: All It’s Hyped Up to Be?

Had you spent $27 on Bitcoin when it was created by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009 your investment would now be worth over $37,000,000.

Widely regarded as the greatest investment vehicle of all time, Bitcoin has seen a meteoric rise during 2017 going from $777 all the way to $17,000.

Creating millionaires out of opportunistic investors and leaving financial institutions open-mouthed, Bitcoin has answered its critics at every milestone this year and some believe this is just the beginning.

The launch of Bitcoin futures on December 10th, which for the first time will allow investors to enter the Bitcoin market through a major regulated US exchange, implies that we are just getting started.

What makes Bitcoin so valuable is that there is a finite amount in existence. There will only ever be a maximum of 21 million Bitcoins and unlike normal fiat currencies you can’t just print more of them whenever you feel like. This is because Bitcoin runs on a proof of work protocol: in order to create it, you have to mine it using computer processing power to solve complex algorithms on the Bitcoin blockchain. Once this is achieved, you are rewarded with Bitcoin as payment for the “work” you have done. Unfortunately the reward you get for mining has decreased drastically almost every year since Bitcoin’s inception, which means that for most people the only viable way to get Bitcoin is buying it on an exchange. At the current price levels is that a risk worth taking?

Do Computer Scientists Use Math?

Recently a student, “James”, asked if it was possible to him to work in the computer field, even if he doesn’t like math and says he is not good at it.

The short answer: yes. The longer answer? Yes and no.

There is a huge opportunity for development of all kinds of software and hardware that doesn’t require mathematics, per se. Fields like software/app design and UX (user experience) quality assurance require understanding of the language involved and how the software interacts with the overall hardware, but not deep mathematics.

So James can certainly make a good career working with computers without knowing his epsilons and deltas.

But will math be useful?

Some areas – like some of the formulas we memorize in calculus class – will not be useful. But others, like discrete mathematics – will prove very useful to James: they will teach him concrete concepts he can use in his work, and also help him develop an analytical mind that will come in handy.

Consider this: if James wants to analyze a program he or his team writes, and see if he can improve it in any way – ie: change the structure of the program so that it runs more efficiently – that’s essentially a math question, what is called “algorithms”: James can examine the program and find parts that are redundant or can be done in a better way, then revise the program.

He doesn’t have to be thinking strictly in terms of mathematics, though, … Read more

Why Nano Price Is Mooning?

The Best Crypto-IoT Collaboration

The announcement was made from the Nano center, yesterday. The release of the Nano IoT charger was confirmed by the company and poses as the most promising entry into the IoT industry. The IoT charger and associated apparatus is said to be run on the native Nano coin.

The charger that has been released as of now is still a prototype and the features that have been revealed so far that the charger hosts are:

  • It only requires the user to scan a QR code for transactions
  • The QR code initiates a micro-level managed transaction process; hence no need to worry about change
  • Is so far only compatible with NANO wallets

This announcement from the Nano Centre is a huge milestone for the company and the community alike because as and when the charger is successfully tested and released to the market, there are many real-world use cases that can be catered to. Of course, to do so for real-world use cases, there is a lot of potential harnessing and multiple iterations that will have to take place beforehand.

Nano Branches Out

Nano is not the first cryptocurrency coin and company to venture into the IoT space, it is, in fact, actually third or fourth. Behind IOTA and several other coins that are also in the space as of now. However, the excitement and expectation that surrounds this coin are because before embarking on this journey the company did its market survey in a very interesting … Read more

Beagles Make Great Family Dogs

Beagles Patient Family Companions

Beagles have always been great family dogs, but they have been the least boasted about until recently. Beagles are not commonly bragged about as being a family dog, they were not listed on family dog rankings. However, in the last few years more and more families and people have been showing off their love of Beagles in the family!

The American Kennel Club includes Beagles on the list of the top 10 family dogs breeds

Best Qualities of Beagles That Families Love

Families choose the Beagle because they are a fun, easy-going, tolerant, gentle dogs. They are a medium sized dog breed. They are very active and naturally curious.

Beagles socialize well with children and other animals, or house hold pets. They are scent hounds and benefit from lots of outside time and scent based games and challenges. Challenging their mind also helps them be calm and easily manageable.

Their grooming needs are minimal. A brushing about once a week is adequate. Expect some shedding. Worse in the spring as their winter coat thickness thins in preparation for summer.

Some Challenging Beagle Traits

Although Beagles are wonderful family dogs they do have some challenging qualities. Among some of their less desirable traits are:

  • Need for MODERATE DAILY EXERCISE – if you are looking for a lap dog, this is NOT the breed for you

  • They can be stubborn – Training takes time and persistence

  • They are scent hounds – Sometime a scent will overwhelm their senses
    • … Read more

    Singer 201 – “The Best Sewing Machine Ever Made”

    During the “glory” days of Singer Sewing Machines, Singer produced the model 201 from the 1930’s to at least the 1950’s. It was their finest (and highest priced) machine. Thousands of these machines were produced — and most of them are still sewing as finely and strongly today as they did when first produced.

    Research the Singer 201 and you’ll find more than one reference stating that the 201 is the finest sewing machine Singer ever made. While I can’t authoritatively say the same (I haven’t tried all the machines Singer ever made!), I haven’t found anything about the 201 that would make me disagree with that statement.

    I really appreciate fine mechanical and electronic devices. I like old Hammond clocks and organs, tube amplifiers and vintage guitars, vintage sports cars, gizmos and gadgets like that. About 10 years ago (in a fit of mid-life crisis) I bought a used Porsche 944. When I sit down at the Singer 201 and press the foot pedal, I get a very similar feeling to that experienced when cruising down the highway in the Porsche at a way-too-fast speed — the smooth and comfortable feeling of machinery performing perfectly.

    I compare it to a Porsche — and I’ve seen others compare it to driving a Ferrari! It’s really quality American iron back from the days when that really meant something!

    Singer produced at least four different versions of the 201:

    201-1 – Treadle version

    201-2 – Potted motor and gear-driven

    201-3 – External … Read more
