    If you want to see Ethereum succeed....

    Posted: 05 Sep 2019 10:59 AM PDT

    Here's the truth. Most people with hot takes on Ethereum haven't actually used it.

    Just read the comments here. And look at how popular Bitcoin media personalities aren't event willing to try Ethereum. That's fine, except these are the people setting the narratives now for mainstream.

    I don't know about you, but I'm done listening to a hot takes on how much Ethereum sucks from people who've never used it.

    And here's the thing. We play a role in this knowledge gap too. We now have mainstream ready tools like Argent and Gnosis Safe. We have lending products like Compound and Maker. We have stablecoins like DAI.

    Are we telling the world about them?

    Are we showing people how they can take back the sovereignty of their money? Not after ETH2.0 ships. Today.

    Ethereum is doing more to realize the dream of magical internet money than anything right now. We should be using these tools and shouting about them from the rooftops.

    I don't care about the bear market. We're in a bull market for real use cases of programmable money.

    So get the new Metamask app and send DAI using InstaPay. Show a friend how it works.

    Download Argent and lend some ETH on Compound. Share it on twitter.

    If you want to see Ethereum succeed you have to use the tools and spread the word

    P.S. There's a link in here to jump the queue and get an Argent wallet. It's a great place to start.

    What is the “end goal” for Ethereum?

    Posted: 05 Sep 2019 04:16 PM PDT

    I'm just beginning to look into ethereum more so please don't get upset for asking a stupid question. I know a little about smart contracts, dapps, and erc-20, but was wondering what the "end goal" would look like for ethereum. There's so many different use cases that people talk about, but a lot of them seem to be met with the idea that they are far fetched and may not happen. I wanted to know what it would look like an a large total world scale. Used as money? Used just for smart contracts? Do smart contracts have a lot of crazy different uses too? Is ethereum something the general public would see/understand? Or just something in the background? I'm really trying to understand by connecting it to real world application, but obviously it's a huge project with a ton of potential so it's hard to wrap my head around it. Thanks for the help!

    Announcing the public release of PopLocker!

    Posted: 05 Sep 2019 07:06 AM PDT

    PopLocker is an Ethereum DApp browser / wallet and an alternative to Metamask. It is currently a desktop browser extension (although in the future, it will be a dedicated browser on both desktop and mobile). PopLocker is targeted at a mainstream audience with a focus on simplicity and adoption.

    Start here poplocker.io and then install the browser extension in the link.

    All a user needs to create an account is a password — which is used to encrypt a private key in the extension's storage. There are no seed phrases or private keys exposed to users and indeed no private key or seed phrase ever leaves the device. Instead, once a user has some ETH, they are able to backup their account by upgrading it to a SmartLocker. These are non-custodial smart contract wallets that allows users to link multiple devices to the same account (by using clever concepts such as meta-transactions and gas relayers). By upgrading to SmartLockers users can access a single account/identity on the Ethereum network from multiple devices — this also provides backup, if one device is lost then the user has other devices that can access their funds.

    Further release details are here: https://medium.com/poplocker/poplocker-public-release-7d6a03ce213

    PopLocker Phases 1 and 2 were funded by a grant from the Ethereum Foundation (thanks EF 🙏).

    Decentralised debt marketplace to connect lender and borrowers

    Posted: 05 Sep 2019 07:18 AM PDT

    Decentralised debt marketplace to connect lender and borrowers

    Nuo network is a decentralised debt marketplace connects lenders and borrowers through smart contracts powered by Ethereum.

    Smart contracts helps to eliminate middle men interaction in lending and borrowing, which is not the case in the traditional finance sector(i.e uses bonds , using some x person as the proof who can cheat you anytime ..etc). The platform will directly facilitate the user interaction — lending and borrowing.

    DEFI VS FinTech

    With the rise in Internet usage it paved many new ways to interact, communicate and many more but it doesn't provide new ways to actually create new financial instruments like bonds, markets..etc

    But Ethereum Blockchain provided many new ways where you can replicate swaps, options, futures, bonds, or other financial instruments which are executed by and settled on Ethereum's decentralised network with immutable records which is possible by the power of Smart contracts. Blockchain technology is doing to finance what the internet did to the media by democratising the creation of new financial instruments.

    Traction on DEFI

    Day by day Defi is getting a lot of traction in terms of user base and also industries who are trying to utilise the blockchain finance to be in the frontiers of the DEFI space. Shift from traditional finance to Decentralised finance is happening very quickly. More than millions of dollars are being lended and borrowed each day look at the stats below by Defipulse .

    Source : Defi pulse

    486.9 $ are being locked in the smart contracts of the defi projects which is really very huge

    What makes Nuo network unique?

    • Nuo network uses the concept of meta-transactions where you need to pay the gas each and every time you interact with the smart contract(Lending,Borrowing,Margin trading).
    • Instead of using the p2p technique Nuo network uses the concept of reserve pool technique which is very good for the platform to sustain compared to other platforms that are using the concept of p2p technique,Where I should wait for the particular duration in order to get my funds back if there is something urgent and I should also trust the particular person who may or may not provide me the exact crypto currency that I lend because he can get loan of any currency but putting up the collateral which may be the currency that might be illiquid and that I'm not fond of.
    • Rates on Nuo are totally algorithmic which totally depends upon the demand and supply of the currencies lend rates goes up when the supply in the reserve pool is very low and vice-versa
    • Introduction of an insurance fund
    • You are the owner of your funds I mean you can withdraw your funds anytime
    • The interest is accrued in the reserve contract and distributed proportionally and periodically every day at 00.00 GMT

    Best Use-Case

    • Nuo network offers one of the safest positive-yield approaches to storing assets available on the market with non-custodial smart contracts.
    • Nuo network provided all three features of lending, borrowing and margin trading at one place
    • Nuo network is independent defi platform which is not on top of any other protocols like dharma being on top of compound…etc
    • Nuo network provide the best interest rates compared to other platforms

    Is Nuo network safe?

    1. Nuo network smart contract which is the heart of the Defi is being verified one of the popular audit companies Quantstamp.
    2. All contracts are open source publicly available on Github . Everyone can look into each and every transaction and also what lending, borrowing and margin trading does.

    Risks associated with Nuo network?

    Flash crash : When market crashes suddenly and losses incur but nuo takes care of these situations by ensuring that they have a robust, tested and secure price oracle which feeds the right price to the contract at all times. They have also added a buffer to safeguard the lenders further. If a flash crash or flash surge leads to network congestion then on-chain conformations and transaction finality are delayed which may lead to excess loss of collateral value. This may lead to a loss for the lenders in such cases.
