Goo Kim x Reader: One Night

G/N. Crazy Stupid Love Emma Stone/Ryan Gosling scene but make it Lookism. Masterlists

"Are you nervous?" Goo murmurs, a smile tugs at his lips when he feels you trembling.

He peers down at you and pauses. His hand, having worked its way under your top and caressing your bare skin - stops.

Tonight, you have aimed for sexy and sensual. It worked well. Fake it until you make it, and you made it when this handsome blonde at the bar invited you back to his apartment for a night of debauchery.

But your mask slips. It's hard to keep it on, y'know. When you are both half naked, about to be even more naked, there's nowhere left to hide.

Your nervousness comes out as a snort, because duh and you think some of your previous sexy and sensual points are deducted.

"Yeah," you respond with an awkward giggle. Then your mouth runs before your single brain cell can.

"- Also, something has been digging into my back all this time," Goo waggles his eyebrows at you suggestively, "No. Definitely not. I think it's a spring or something or I don't know... crumbs? Have you been eating in bed? Either way I think this is the most uncomfortable mattress I've ever laid on. Your silk bed sheets are something else though - who even has silk bed sheets? It's like something from the 80s along with waterbeds but god they feel so fucking great on my legs."

Goo is stunned into silence momentarily before he barks out a laugh.

He rolls off you and onto the left side on the bed, full body wriggling around slightly, experiencing the silk bed sheets for himself and chuckles.

"Sweetheart, you're right. And I've always hated this mattress." He sighs, adding, "I got conned by fucking influencers."

You whip your head towards him and give him a look, "Influencers?! What. Is this those fancy brands that I've been seeing them shill all over my social media-"

Goo turns towards you, a pout on his lips and eyebrows pinched together in a pitiful expression. "Yep. I've hated it since the first night."

"Then why didn't you return it!"

He shrugs and you laugh, your previous nervousness dissipating.

"I always wondered what idiot would fall for those."

"Hey!"

A brief moment of silence then-

"Did you buy these sheets from an infomercial or something?"

"Excuse me!" Goo shuffles, angles himself so he's fully facing you. Head held up by the palm of his hand and resting his elbow on the mattress.

There's mischief, life in his face that wasn't there earlier tonight. "Sue me. I have money to spend, sometimes I can't sleep, and those sales people sell things so well."

You let out another unrefined snort, amused by this guy.

Suddenly finding there's so much personality, a touch of vulnerability revealed in that statement, behind the expensive glasses, his tailored suit and his muscled body.

"Wanna see what other crap I've bought?"

.

.

You both wander around his apartment, which turned out to be a huge fucking penthouse now that he has the light on and is giving you a guided tour, in your underwear. 

Goo, no shame and expanses of skin on show, and you follow closely behind with his silk sheets wrapped loosely around your body.

He gestures at what you assume to be a coffee machine sitting proudly on his kitchen countertop. All sleek and stainless steel with dials and buttons on every surface.

"I can't even use this thing. I've had it for 2 years."

"Look," Goo opens an overhead kitchen cupboard, gesticulating like he's going to perform a magic trick, and dramatically shows you rows and rows of trendy kitchen gadgets, no doubt also purchased during moments of insomnia. Pizza scissors, spiralizer, bread maker, air fryer, pressure cooker.

"Never used."

"This," he points at the far wall, and you squint, barely making out a framed art piece of the ugliest monkey face you have ever seen. But hey, art is subjective, right-

"-is an NFT. I bought that too."

That tips you over the edge.

You cackle and cackle, doubled over and holding onto him for balance.

.

.

There's a dusty segway sitting pitifully in the corner of an unused spare room.

You jump out from round a corner, LED mask on your face and flashing a menacing red - "Boo!"and Goo actually jumps.

A lonely treadmill, placed beneath one of those fancy sit-stand desk catches your eye.  Goo smirks, "Babe, I don't even have a desk job."

Instead of spending all night tangled in his silk bedsheets together, Goo jogs down memory lane of sleepless nights and impulse buys with you by his side.

Your laughter starts to tinge all his memories.

Your good natured ribbing and mocking.

His hyena cackle joins yours, and he wonders when was the last time he was able to laugh with someone. Has he ever spent an entire night talking to someone like this?

"Ask me something personal." He requests, both now lying on his uncomfortable bed. You in his arms, hair tickling his chin.

"What do you want from life?"

"To make money."

"Why?"

"I want to be rich."

"Why?"

"Well, who doesn't want to be rich, sweetheart."

"Yeah but why do you?"

Goo remembers running errands, doing anything to earn some money. Anything for a price. His cousin calling in his services, and he happily beat up some middle schoolers to help him (and who was it again, Tabasco?) out.

He doesn't really know where his thirst for money making has come from. Maybe there's some deep set trauma from his life pre-juvie or some shit he should pay a therapist to decipher but alas.

He tells you this, all this and more. At some point, his head is the one lying on your chest and you absentmindedly stroke through his blonde locks, humming noises of encouragement, listening to his words.

Weird, Goo thinks, when he finally drifts off to sleep with you snoring gently beside him. 

The morning sun already filters through the blinds, and the hustle and bustle of Seoul has started to pick up.

How comfortable this feels. How natural your connection with him is. How this is the spark people dream about, and somehow it has hit him when he wasn’t looking for anything more.

That someone as different to him as you are, that is only ever supposed to be company for a few hours, a night at best, could spell trouble. Raise his hackles, send his alarms blaring.

When he's usually the walking red flag.

Because you’ve got him thinking. A lot. That shrewd brain hidden behind playfulness has been whirring; wondering about what happens if you become a regular fixture.

Maybe you might doom him, in the end. Maybe this will lead to a dead end and nothing more.

But he's curious enough, the spark is shining brightly enough, to see where else you might lead him to too.

A small guide on commission etiquette

Seeing all the current drama on twitter, I thought I could do a small guide on commissioning art (and receiving commissions).

For people drawing commissions:

A terms of service goes a long way. State important details there: Do you charge extra for changes? Mention it! Do you reserve the right to post the picture, finished or unfinished? It's always good to clarify! Unless otherwise stated (through a contract, NDA, etc), you technically have the right to post it, but it's always good to have something to back you up

Terms of Service are basically (however basic or obvious it may seem) a text you can rely on in case of conflict. You can include stuff such as "I reserve the right to continue a commission if I don't get an answer within a week", or "I won't refund a fully finished piece", or "I can cancel the commission anytime and do a full refund in said case".

Mention when do you usually take payment (beginning? after the sketch? in the end?)

If people don't read the ToS and they fail to comply them, that's on them. Make them check a "I read the ToS" chexbox. If they didn't read, it's not your issue.

Of course, use ToS for stuff such as "this art can't be used for commercial purposes unless previously stated", or "the art cannot be used for AI training/NFTs"

For people buying commissions:

If they have a Terms of Service, READ IT. If you don't agree with it- don't commission.

If you have any specific constraint (time limits, for example), make it clear early on.

If the piece cannot be shared publicly, make it clear in the beginning. Specify if you'd rather have no sketches shown, or the final picture, or whatever. Some artists charge extra for being unable to post the picture, as it means it cannot be used for keeping up social media active.

Anything you think that may be important, please specify very clearly as soon as possible. Did you ask for two versions of a picture and one is spoilery for some reason? Mention it! Is there some definitive Don't with your character? (Such as "don't depict them smiling?) Please clarify! Be as clear as you can!

(For those out of the loop, I don't want to bring up names or anything, but there's been some really... messy issues on twitter regarding a commission, and I thought it'd be appropriate to do a small friendly reminder on commission etiquette.)

[magicalmeily]

I've made a google doc collection of 150 useful design and art resources! Whether youre just starting commissions or want to make your workflow more streamlined, I recommend checking it out

The full list is below the read more, but I suggest looking at the google doc as well sincce it will be updated more often. 

This list was created by @MagicalMeily

I encourage you to share this list with other designers, artists, or even students via this tumblr post, the google doc, or my tweet. Links marked as ‘Free/Paid’ usually means the free version has a lot of features anyway and the paid just has some extra templates or storage space. *Disclaimer - I haven’t used all of these services myself, so please let me know if anything dodgy slipped through the cracks, or if you have any others I should add.

I do not support NFTs or AI Art generators, so hopefully you won’t find any listed. Always double check commercial usage rights

Alright- I figured I might make a lovely long post detailing my commissions options to link to over here.

I want to start with pointing out that my main pride and joy is communication and feedback loops to archive just what you want. The commission process can be long due to the back and forth, but good communication makes great results!

If you're curious, this post shows some of my sketches in the feedback loop stage!

My usual time from start to finish (might depend on the time it takes you to answer) is around a month.

Lets break down the options and prices!

prices are in $usd

prices are for personal use only (ya' know, you can print it for yourself, a friend, but not sell it or use it for business promotion!)- commercial use can be discussed (:

contact me to melinamnovelli@gmail.com

These can be taken as guide, if you'd like something that doesn't fit here- feel free to contact me to discuss it.

Lovely, right?

Now, some basic Terms of Service:

I won't accept any work related to NFTs and I don't allow my work to be used as NFTs.

Credit is very appreciated when reposting but not necessary as long as you don't claim the work is done by anyone besides myself.

The character designs & adoptables can be resold and gifted with proper credit (link and @), those are the owner's responsibility.

Since I'm a breathing human being, I have the right to reject a commission for whatever reason.

I take payment via PAYPAL. I'll make an invoice once the order is settled. I only work with full payment upfront.

For big pieces (+400usd) we can discuss signing a contract or doing payment plans for everybody's comfort.

I don't have a linear queue and I don't work with deadlines, but I will keep you updated regularly and have no problem with showing progress as anytime. Just ask!

Given that I show updates regularly and request feedback during the whole process, big changes once the work is past its sketching stage can require an extra fee.

I don't do refunds past the first sketch.

I guess this covers everything- feel free to contact me with any questions!

Please contact me via email for an easier and organized process: melinamnovelli@gmail.com

my most-used discord bots & brief usage instructions  💌  here’s another post that u have probably seen me post in different formats 2 or 3 times.  however,  i’m including what the bots are,  plus mini-tutorials for each one this time around.  i’ll re-visit this post as i introduce more bots into the rotation.  beneath the read more,  you’ll find an introduction to using discord bots in general,  a list of my favorite bots (7 of them,  to be exact),  respective guides for each bot,  and links to in-depth tutorials if applicable.  due to the amount of links in this post,  it may not show up in the tags,  so i would appreciate the reblog a little more this time around!

THIS POST IS IMAGE HEAVY (!!) and text heavy if we’re being honest.  feel free to request more in-depth tutorials for any bot in here!

—  p.s.  find a tag full of my discord advice here.

*  —  general notes about discord bots.

before i toss a whole bunch of bot names at you,  let me explain what discord bots are & how you can use them!  discord bots are AI-powered tools that assist in running your server.  you can find moderation bots, game bots, aesthetic-based bots...  and i’m sure there’s tons more.

now you may be thinking, how do i get bots?  first,  you have to invite the bot to your server.  a lot of people use the top.gg website to browse & invite bots.  other bots will have their own website.  ultimately,  once you click the invite button on any website,  you’ll be redirected to a screen that looks like this:

just select the server you’d like to add the bot to and click continue.  you’ll move onto a screen with permissions.  you can select what you’d like to allow.  idk if this is smart but usually i just trust what the bot auto-selects & click authorize.

for the last little bit of this section,  you might wonder,  how do i actually use bots?  you’ll control the bot through commands.  as of 2022,  most bots use slash commands now.  other bots are using prefixes.  each bot is a little different in how you communicate commands,  so i’ll dive into that below.

p.s.  a lot of discord bots decided to get involved with nfts during 2021-2022 </3  i guess it’s a personal preference but i try my very best to avoid nft affiliated bots & i would encourage u to do the same :-)

*  —  list of bots.

now for the main event...  here are my favorite bots.  first,  i’ll provide a numbered list so you can ctrl+f your way through this book of a post if you’re looking for something specific.

tupperbox  —  proxy-creation bot.

dice maiden  —  dice rolling bot.

dyno bot  —  moderation bot.

confessions bot  —  anonymous confession bot.

sesh bot  —  reminders bot.

reaction roles  —  role management bot.

lexa  —  role management bot.

TUPPERBOX.

if you’ve been around the discord rp community,  you probably know tupperbox.  you’ll see a lot of people on discord refer to the bot like ‘go set up your tupper’.  tupperbox allows you to send messages under a different name on discord,  which makes for a more immersive ic chat experience,  like this:

download tupperbox here (tupperbox website).

view a detailed tupperbox user guide here for admins or here for players.

to use tupperbox,  there is one main command you need:

tul!register “name” (prefix) text

before you hit send,  go ahead and upload your icon image in there too.  it looks like this:

let’s break that down  —

tul!register - the command.

“name” - your tupper’s display name.

(prefix) - what you’ll type before every message.

text - part of the command, don’t change this.

DICE MAIDEN.

idk if this one is as popular in the rp scene,  but i use it in all of my groups to add some spontaneous outcomes.  dice maiden is a dice-rolling bot with simple commands.

download dice maiden here (top.gg).

to use dice maiden,  there is one main command you need to know:

/roll help

this will show you a list of command options.  these can seem a little overwhelming so i will also tell u the specific style of command my group uses.

/roll d10 + #

let’s break this one down  —

/roll - the slash command. make sure you pick dice maiden’s command from the list that comes up,  then type the rest.

d10 - the dice i chose.  you can also use things like 2d10, d15, d20, etc.

+ # - adds a number to your roll outcome; we use character strength stats as the #.

DYNO BOT.

dyno bot is a moderation bot that has sworn off nfts so i feel safest with it <3  i honestly don’t use it for many moderation-type things because i like doing everything manually BUT just in case..

download dyno bot here (dynobot website).

the easiest way to use dyno bot is through the online dashboard.  click on "modules” & "commands” tabs to have a look around.

my favorite dyno bot feature is the highlights module,  where members can react to a message with a star emoji & it saves the message into your designated channel.  it works with tuppers and images,  so the fun can carry over ic.

it’s hard to briefly explain dyno bot,  so i rec just diving into the dashboard & playing around with it.

for dyno’s reaction roles feature,  i will throw out a little disclaimer that i used it in my resource server and it stopped working after 100ish reacts.  i use the reaction roles bot instead for that specific purpose.

CONFESSIONS BOT.

like the name would cause u to assume,  confessions bot allows members of your server to make anonymous confessions.  really anonymous confessions,  so tread with caution if ur in a server with people u aren’t familiar with FAJSDOIF

i recently started using confessions bot instead of the voltaire bot because it was less confusing.  BUT confessions bot is in the middle of updating their server storage so the bot goes offline sooo much so pls take that into consideration.

download the confessions bot here (top.gg).

alternatively, download the voltaire bot here (github).

to use confessions,  there is one command you need to know:

/confess

aren’t slash commands so convenient hehe ... all u have to do is select the confessions bot’s command from the list discord pops up when u type /confess & then type in ur confesssion!  it comes out like this:

my server treats it like an ic yikyak so it’s been fun hehe

SESH BOT.

sesh bot is a timed-reminders bot.  i use this for things like in-character birthdays,  important plot points,  or rp milestones.  there are alternative bots out there,  but i’ve found that some of them just... don’t send messages sometimes (cough cough remind-bot) or only allow u to make like 3 reminders at a time without paying.

download sesh here (sesh website).

there is one main command you need to know for this bot:

/create

slash commands strike again!  it makes things so simple.  you’ll notice that when you select /create from the list,  it auto fills and looks something like this:

/create title __ datetime __

bonus:  click outside of that little datetime box,  hit space,  and you can also set a description.

alternatively,  use the sesh online dashboard to create events.  that’s what i do.

REACTION ROLES.

reaction roles allows members to react with a certain emoji and get the corresponding role & its permissions.  as mentioned previous,  i use this in larger servers as a supplement to dyno bot.  i think it makes u vote for it on top.gg before u can use some commands,  so sign into top.gg with ur discord & go ahead!

download reaction roles here (top.gg).

to use reaction roles,  you need to do a few steps:

first,  type the message you want people to react to.

second,  add in the roles you’ll provide options for & set up their respective permissions.

third,  command time:

/reactionroles

another slash command! once u select the reaction role bot’s command,  you’ll notice it autofills to something like this

/reactionroles messagelink __ role __ emoji __ type __

let’s break that down:

/reactionroles - the slash command.

messagelink __ - click the text box after the title.  go to the message from the first step and choose ‘copy message link’. paste it in the text box.

role - choose the role from the list.

emoji - choose an emoji to pair with that role.

type - i always choose type 1 :-)

here’s an example of it filled in:

do that for all the options you want.  you’ll notice the bot reacts to your message.  now, anytime a server member clicks one of those options,  you’ll notice it gives them the corresponding role.

LEXA BOT.

lexa bot allows members to assign themselves role colors.  personally,  i don’t use this bot & manually give members their requested colors. BUT!! i know plenty of people who do use lexa and love it,  so i’m putting her on the list!!

download lexa here (top.gg).

before using lexa,  please note that if you have any roles with colors already assigned,  it will not work.  lexa roles automatically go to the bottom of the list so the other color will override it.  also... lexa is just buggy sometimes FJAOSDIFJ

to use lexa,  you need one command (and a hex code):

@Lexa color set [hex]

let’s break that down too —

@Lexa - make sure u @ the bot and not the role

color set - command

[hex] - replace ‘hex’ with ur color code or leave it as hex for a random :)

Base: activity in Mainnet. Free NFTs on Base.

Base is a secure, inexpensive and user-friendly tool for Ethereum L2 developers that was created to attract users to web3. It’s worth mentioning that Base is built as an MIT OP Stack in collaboration with Optimism. And as stated by the Base team, they specifically joined Core Dev working on the OP Stack to make it publicly available to everyone.

According to the developers, Base is the easiest way for decentralized applications to use the products and distribution of Coinbase, which has over 110 million users with over $80 billion in assets in the Coinbase ecosystem, thereby once again putting an emphasis on scalability.

For almost six months, there has been a testnet. Activity in which was steadily covered in our airdrops section, and recently the project team announced the launch of Mainnet.

Preparation

To interact with the network, you will need to add it to our wallet. If you have already done this, you can skip this point.

Go to the site, connect the wallet and click Add to Metamask:

Preparation

Next, you will need to transfer funds. To do this, you can use both the official bridge and third-party ones. Each of these methods has its pros and cons.

Official Bridge

According to the crypto-community, this method is the most reliable and correct, but the deposit can only be made from the Ethereum Mainnet.

Go to the site and connect the wallet.

Enter the desired amount, click Deposit ETH and confirm the transaction:

Official Bridge

Stargate Bridge

Using this protocol has several pluses, namely: additional activity in LayerZero and the ability to make a transfer from the L2 network.

Go to the site and connect the wallet.

Choose the network from which we will transfer, for example, Optimism. Enter the desired amount, click Transfer and confirm the transaction:

Stargate Bridge

Orbiter Bridge

Another cross-chain protocol from which users expect a drop.

Go to the site and connect the wallet.

Getting Roles in Discord

The project has an extensive list of roles in Discord. You can get them with the help of Guild for various tasks. What actions you need to perform to get this or that role is described in detail on the portal itself.

Go to the Discord of the project and pass verification.

Open the site, connect to the portal using the wallet and social networks:

Next, look at the available roles and get the desired ones by performing this or that action.

Note: if you’ve been interacting with the Base network for a long time, some roles will count automatically.

After execution, return to the Discord of the project. Open the rolles branch, click Join BaseGuild to verify and get roles:

Base Onchain Summer

The project team has launched Onchain Summer campaign. The activity involves completing quests to accumulate points, which can later be spent in the Shop tab on merch. Predominantly the quests consist of minting various NFTs, the average price of which at the time of writing is around $2.5 in ETH.

There have been no official announcements about this or that prize pool in dollar equivalent. At the time of writing, the only confirmed rewards are merch. The store will launch in July, but it is not yet known how many points are needed to convert into physical merchandise. Do your own research and consider all risks because the costs are substantial.

Despite this, the campaign is official and the possibility of additional announcements cannot be ruled out. So for those who are active in Base with an eye on drops, it may be worth it to accumulate a few levels with risk management in mind.

Follow the link and connect Coinbase Wallet.

Choose a quest from the proposed categories and perform it according to the instructions on the site:

Note: verification of completion and crediting of points may be delayed.

Conclusion

The network has entered Mainnet relatively recently, but already has an extensive infrastructure that simply cannot be covered in one guide. If you are interested in this blockchain, the best solution is to explore and interact with different dApps yourself. This will multiply your chances of a drop if the project team decides to make one.

Highlights:

Blockchain has an extensive infrastructure.

You need to be active periodically.

You don’t need to perform all the above activities at once. The best solution is to stretch the walkthrough over several days.

It is important to rack up not only the number of transactions but also the volume of transactions.

How To Grow Organic Lettuce Hydroponically

Growing lettuce hydroponically is an excellent way to produce fresh and healthy greens year-round. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to grow lettuce hydroponically: Choose the Right Lettuce Variety: Select a lettuce variety suitable for hydroponic growing. Leafy and loose-leaf lettuces like Butterhead, Romaine, and Bibb are well-suited for this method. Set Up the Hydroponic System: Choose a hydroponic system that fits your space and needs. Common types include nutrient film technique (NFT), deep water culture (DWC), or a vertical tower system. Provide Proper Lighting: Ensure your lettuce plants receive adequate light. LED grow lights are ideal for hydroponic setups, providing the right spectrum and intensity for plant growth. Nutrient Solution: Mix a hydroponic nutrient solution according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lettuce requires a balanced mix of nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and trace elements. Planting: Start lettuce seeds in rockwool cubes or another hydroponic medium. Once seedlings have developed a few leaves, transfer them to the hydroponic system. Maintain Water Levels: Keep the water level in the hydroponic system consistent. Lettuce prefers a slightly moist environment, but avoid waterlogging the roots. pH Level: Regularly monitor and adjust the pH level of the nutrient solution. Lettuce thrives in a pH range between 5.8 and 6.5. Temperature: Maintain the ideal temperature for lettuce growth, which is around 60-70°F (15-21°C). Avoid extreme heat, as it can cause bolting and bitterness in the leaves. Air Circulation: Adequate air circulation is essential for healthy plant growth and to prevent mold or mildew issues. Harvesting: Lettuce can be harvested as soon as the leaves reach a desirable size, usually 4-6 weeks after planting. Use clean scissors or a sharp knife to cut the leaves just above the base of the plant. Succession Planting: To ensure a continuous supply of lettuce, practice succession planting by starting new seedlings every few weeks. Clean and Maintain: Regularly clean and disinfect the hydroponic system to prevent algae or bacterial growth. Proper maintenance will promote healthy lettuce growth. By following these tips and providing the right conditions, you can enjoy a steady supply of fresh and nutritious lettuce from your hydroponic garden.

Best Play-to-Earn Games with NFTs or Crypto

Best Play-to-Earn Games with NFTs or Crypto Play-to-earn games (P2E) do what traditional video games don’t — reward players for their time and effort spent in the game. After all, the players do create game content simply by participating and providing interactions for other players. And while many games have switched to the phrase ‘play and earn’, or the term ‘web3’, the idea remains the same — the ability to own game items as NFTs, and the ability to earn while playing in some manner. Sometimes those two things are the same. Sometimes not. But what is the same, is that each P2E game offers a way for players to be rewarded for their in-game activity. Some P2E games will require an initial investment, while others are free to play. But whatever your interest, there is something in the world of blockchain gaming to cover it. And though many games are still in development, they range from simple web games, to mobile, to FPS, to galaxy-spanning strategy games, to MMOs, and more! Keeping track of all of them can be a tough job, and so we’re here to help! Below are a few recommendation as well as our (ever growing, and ever updated) list of web3 enabled games with same basic info as well as links to our articles and game guides! About The Sandbox The Sandbox is an interconnected world of unique game experiences. With land plots of varying sizes, each land owner can build their own creations using a visual game builder. The Sandbox is still in alpha testing, but if you’re interested in play-to-earn games, this should definitely be on your radar. Check out our full The Sandbox review to learn how to get started.

About Axie Infinity Axie Infinity is the most important game developed on a blockchain thus far. The game focuses on breeding, collecting, and battling creatures named Axies and using them to explore the World of Lunacia. At its peak, the marketplace was making millions in sales every day, and Axies were selling for thousands of dollars each.

About Gods Unchained Gods Unchained is a collectible, fantasy, and trading card game built on the Ethereum network. It’s free to play, easy to get started, and offers play-to-earn opportunities right out of the gate.

About fairy cat Fairy Cat gamefi fairycat .net is a virtual pet blockchain game Play to earn.

The Pokémon into NFT thing is people looking at one job listing that Pokémon Company posted looking for someone who could help guide innovations but has solid knowledge of Web3-blockchain-NFT and Metaverse stuff. Nothing that outright states that Pokemon wants to do NFTs. Could be metaverse stuff for the future, could be an effort to get information on NFT’s to sue people who made Pokemon-like NFTs (looking at you, Pixelmon - not to be confused with the Minecraft mod Pixelmon I think?), could just be advising on it as a concept. Nothing has outright said Oh, Pokemon is doing NFTs now. Articles are posting about this job listing like that’s the gol, though.

On the one hand, fair. It’s not strictly a guarantee. On the other…it’s definitely worrying. I’ll reserve full judgment for the moment but I don’t like the sound of it. I thought this stuff was finally dying out.

Top 5 Benefits of NFT Real Estate Marketplace Development

A Non-Fungible Token is a digital asset based on a cryptocurrency. Every NFT is unique and temporary, which results in its high market value due to an inevitable rise in demand.

Several industries have already ventured into the world of NFTs, leveraging the concept to trade in digital assets of all kinds. Real Estate is no exception.

NFTs are becoming popular in real estate for multiple reasons. Among these are the various ways it differs from traditional real estate operations.

This blog will look at five of the most significant ways NFT marketplace development services will benefit your real estate venture.

5 Advantages of NFT Marketplace Development Services In Real Estate

Since NFTs are based on cryptocurrencies, they come with all the advantages of using blockchain. These include:

High Security

Blockchains are based on decentralization and, as such, aren’t in control of a single entity. It makes them impervious to most attacks. 

In short, an NFT platform powered by Blockchain is resistant to hacking and data manipulation, making it an ideal platform for online trading properties. Transparency is further enhanced by allowing traders access to transactional data.

This secures the NFT real estate marketplace. Consequently, users do not have to worry about being scammed or defrauded when performing transactions.

2.Convenient Transfers

Transferring digital assets like NFTs is a breeze. It gives them a significant advantage over conventional real estate paperwork and transfer methods. Several NFT marketplaces are available and succeed because they simplify users' transfer of assets to other users.

Fast and efficient transfer processes significantly increase the likelihood of the user coming back for more. You may want to consult this NFT real estate marketplace guide to know more about the transfer process.

3.No Unnecessary Charges

Wouldn't it be nice if you could exchange real estate properties without going through any middlemen? NFT-based real estate networks don't have intermediaries. Users can breathe easy as they only have to pay a minimal transaction fee.

Furthermore, it is possible for marketplace owners to make their platform exclusive. This results in decreased traffic and lower transaction costs in exclusive marketplaces.

4.Fractional Possession

NFTs, or fractions, are ways for property owners to divide their property. Also, they can sell the NFTs that represent ownership of the property.

Fractional NFTs are an excellent alternative for buyers who do not have the means to purchase full NFTs. The same asset can thus be partially owned by multiple investors, which is also valid for real-world properties.

Owners can split their asset (property) into a specific number of shares set to be sold at a special price. There is no change in the original value of the NFT as a whole, even when these shares are bought and sold on secondary markets.

5.Effective Ownership Validation

Every detail related to the piece of real estate is recorded in a smart contract. This information includes its location, ownership, and construction-related details, which are easily accessible for validation.

Start Searching For The Best NFT Development Company

These benefits have led to rising demand in the digital real estate sector, where prices may be similar to or higher than actual houses.

Now that you have made it this far, you may have decided to enter this market with an NFT marketplace of your own. In that case, hire a reliable company for NFT marketplace development services you can trust.

After a sluggish cryptocurrency market, I published the third part of a series of articles. This article is called "The Universal Quiet Exit", and previous articles include "There is No Excuse That This Stuff Works or Will Work" and "Financial Nihilism: The Zeitgeist of Young America". These articles have sparked widespread discussion, especially in the cryptocurrency community, and they accurately captured and predicted the current market conditions.

The Universal Quiet Exit

Recently, I have noticed a new trend in the cryptocurrency community - "quiet exit". This is a relatively new concept that describes the phenomenon of people choosing to quietly withdraw after losing confidence in a certain field. This attitude is partly derived from my two previous articles, which explored the actual application of cryptocurrencies and their future potential.

The cryptocurrency space has experienced a period of extreme optimism in the past few years. From 2017 to 2022, the market was full of hope for the future of cryptocurrencies, and investors and users believed that these technologies could solve real-world problems and gain widespread application. However, over time, many projects that were once seen as the future pillars of cryptocurrencies, such as decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, stablecoins, etc., have failed to change the world as expected. Even as Bitcoin adoption and prices rise, many people are beginning to question the actual achievements and future potential of cryptocurrencies.

This skepticism became more pronounced during past bear markets. Even at the most pessimistic times, enthusiasm for cryptocurrencies remained. However, the current situation appears more severe. Many people have gradually realized that the actual progress and effectiveness of many cryptocurrency projects are far below expectations. The Memecoin craze and the points-for-airdrop activities are seen as meaningless attempts, reflecting that the market's confidence in these projects has been shaken.

The Dilemma of Cryptocurrency

In the cryptocurrency field, the phenomenon of "quiet exit" is particularly evident. Many people are no longer willing to invest time and resources, although they may still hold some crypto assets. The reason for leaving is not only disappointment in the potential of the project, but also anxiety about the future prospects. Even if some people choose to stay in this field, their motivation and confidence have obviously weakened.

In this situation, some people choose to continue to pay attention to cryptocurrencies, mainly because they still believe that the long-term returns of cryptocurrencies are attractive relative to other investment options. Although this view seems contradictory, it actually reflects a complex psychological state: despite disappointment with the current situation, there is still hope to find valuable opportunities in the future.

Market Status and Future Outlook

Currently, the main focus of the cryptocurrency market has shifted to emerging areas such as decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN). However, in addition to DePIN, there is a lack of other breakthrough applications worthy of attention in the market. At the same time, the cryptocurrency venture capital investment environment has also been criticized. Venture capital often obtains high returns through early investment projects, which may fail to make substantial progress in their intended use. This misaligned incentive mechanism makes some investment behaviors in the market increasingly irrational.

Summary

In general, the current "quiet exit" phenomenon in the cryptocurrency field can be explained by the general disappointment with the current market status and future prospects. While some people in the market still have hope, many people are disappointed with the actual achievements of cryptocurrencies and choose to reduce investment or exit. Future opportunities may emerge in emerging areas with practical application prospects, such as DePIN. If the policy environment changes, it may further promote the real development of the altcoin market. Therefore, despite the many challenges at present, it is still necessary to pay close attention to these potential development directions.

The Ultimate Guide to Indoor Growing Systems: Transforming Your Space into a Thriving Garden

What is an Indoor Growing System?

An indoor growing system is a setup that allows you to cultivate plants inside a controlled environment. These systems are designed to mimic natural outdoor conditions like light, water, temperature, and nutrients, all while protecting plants from unpredictable weather and pests. Whether you're a hobbyist or a commercial grower, indoor growing systems offer a way to grow plants in spaces like homes, apartments, or dedicated greenhouses.

Benefits of Indoor Growing Systems

Year-Round Growing: One of the biggest advantages of indoor growing systems is the ability to grow plants throughout the year. You’re not limited by seasons, which means you can enjoy fresh produce or flowers even in the dead of winter.

Space Efficiency: Indoor systems are ideal for urban gardeners who have limited outdoor space. With vertical systems and other compact designs, you can maximize your growing potential in a small footprint.

Control Over Growing Conditions: You have complete control over the growing environment, including light, humidity, temperature, and water supply. This allows you to optimize conditions to suit specific plants and produce better yields.

No Pesticides: Growing indoors significantly reduces the risk of pests and diseases, meaning you can avoid using harmful pesticides. This results in healthier, chemical-free plants.

Faster Growth: With consistent lighting, watering, and nutrients, plants often grow faster indoors compared to outdoor environments.

Types of Indoor Growing Systems

There are several types of indoor growing systems available, each with its unique advantages. Understanding these systems will help you choose the best one for your needs.

Hydroponics

Hydroponics is a soilless growing system where plants are grown in nutrient-rich water. The roots are submerged in the water, absorbing all the nutrients they need. Hydroponic systems are highly efficient and offer faster plant growth since the plants get direct access to nutrients and oxygen. Common types of hydroponic setups include nutrient film technique (NFT), deep water culture (DWC), and drip systems.

Aeroponics

Aeroponics is another soilless method where plant roots are suspended in the air, and nutrient mist is sprayed onto the roots. This system provides superior oxygenation to the roots, promoting faster growth and higher yields. Aeroponic systems are commonly used for growing high-value crops such as leafy greens and herbs.

Aquaponics

Aquaponics is a combination of hydroponics and aquaculture (raising fish). In this system, fish waste provides nutrients for the plants, and the plants help filter the water for the fish. It’s a self-sustaining ecosystem that not only grows plants but also raises fish like tilapia or koi.

Soil-Based Systems

Traditional soil-based systems are still widely used for indoor growing. Containers or raised beds filled with high-quality potting soil can support plant growth in a controlled indoor environment. These systems are great for beginners and can be easily adapted to smaller spaces.

Vertical Farming

Vertical farming is ideal for maximizing limited indoor space. Plants are stacked in vertical layers, and LED grow lights provide the necessary light for photosynthesis. Vertical farming is commonly used for leafy greens, herbs, and microgreens, allowing growers to cultivate more plants in a smaller area.

Choosing the Right Lighting

Lighting is one of the most critical factors for indoor growing. Without adequate light, plants cannot photosynthesize and produce energy. There are several types of grow lights, including:

Fluorescent Lights: Affordable and energy-efficient, these lights work well for low-light plants and seedlings.

LED Grow Lights: The most efficient option, indoor garden system LEDs provide the full spectrum of light and last longer than traditional lights.

High-Intensity Discharge (HID) Lights: These are ideal for larger growing spaces and provide intense light that promotes flowering and fruiting.

Tips for Successful Indoor Growing

Choose the Right Plants: Some plants thrive better indoors than others. Leafy greens, herbs, and small fruits like strawberries are ideal for indoor growing.

Maintain Proper Humidity Levels: Plants require specific humidity levels for growth. Use a hygrometer to monitor the moisture in the air, and consider a humidifier if levels are too low.

Use Quality Nutrients: If you're using a hydroponic or aeroponic system, it's essential to supply plants with the right mix of nutrients. Organic fertilizers can be used in soil-based systems.

Ensure Proper Ventilation: Good airflow is important to prevent mold, mildew, and other plant diseases. Fans can help with air circulation.

How Smart Contracts Work: A Simple Guide for Everyone

Introduction to Smart Contracts Smart contracts are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement directly written into code. They run on blockchain technology, which means they are decentralized, transparent, and immutable. Originally conceptualized by Nick Szabo in the 1990s, smart contracts have become the backbone of numerous applications in the blockchain ecosystem, particularly on platforms like Ethereum, where they were first fully realized. How Smart Contracts Work Imagine a vending machine. You put in money, select a product, and the machine automatically dispenses your item. Smart contracts work on a similar principle but with more complexity: - Code as Law: Smart contracts follow "if-this-then-that" logic. Once deployed, the code cannot be changed, ensuring that the contract executes exactly as programmed. - Decentralization: They eliminate the need for intermediaries like banks or lawyers, reducing costs and increasing efficiency. - Transparency and Security: All transactions are visible on the blockchain, and due to cryptographic security, they are incredibly secure against fraud. Use Cases of Smart Contracts - Decentralized Finance (DeFi): From lending and borrowing platforms to yield farming, smart contracts automate financial services without traditional financial institutions. - Supply Chain: They can track products from origin to consumer, automatically verifying and recording each step, which enhances transparency and reduces fraud. - Real Estate: Property transactions could be simplified with smart contracts, where ownership transfer occurs automatically upon payment. - NFTs and Digital Ownership: They manage the ownership and transfer of unique digital assets, ensuring authenticity and provenance. - Voting Systems: Could potentially eliminate election fraud by providing a transparent, immutable voting record. Challenges and Considerations - Code Vulnerabilities: The DAO hack is a famous example where a smart contract's flaw led to significant financial loss. This underscores the importance of thorough auditing and testing. - Legal Recognition: While smart contracts automate execution, their legal status can be murky. Not all jurisdictions recognize them as legally binding contracts. - Scalability and Costs: On networks like Ethereum, the cost (gas fees) and speed of executing complex smart contracts can be prohibitive during high network congestion. The Future of Smart Contracts The potential for smart contracts extends far beyond current applications: - Integration with IoT: Smart contracts could automatically trigger actions in the physical world through IoT devices, like releasing a rental car once payment is confirmed. - Cross-Chain Operations: With advancements in blockchain interoperability, smart contracts might soon operate seamlessly across different blockchains, enhancing their utility. - Mainstream Adoption: As blockchain technology matures, expect to see smart contracts in more everyday scenarios, from legal agreements to automated payroll systems. Conclusion Smart contracts stand at the forefront of a revolution in how we think about agreements and trust in digital transactions. While there are hurdles to overcome, their ability to provide security, transparency, and efficiency makes them an invaluable tool in the digital age. As technology evolves, so too will the sophistication and integration of smart contracts into our daily lives, potentially reshaping the very fabric of contractual agreements and trust mechanisms in society.

The Need for a Crypto Wallet and the Benefits of Decentralization: A Guide to the Koii Wallet.

As blockchain technology continues to evolve, the importance of having a secure and efficient method for managing digital assets becomes increasingly clear. A crypto wallet serves as the gateway to interacting with decentralized networks, storing digital tokens, and maintaining control over your assets. Among the many wallets available today, the Koii Wallet stands out as a key player, especially within the Koii Network, a decentralized platform built on innovative technology and an expanding ecosystem. This article will explore the need for a crypto wallet, the benefits of using a decentralized wallet like Koii, and provide a comprehensive guide on how to set one up.

Why You Need a Crypto Wallet

In the world of cryptocurrency, a wallet is an essential tool that allows you to manage your digital assets. Unlike traditional wallets that store physical currency, a crypto wallet doesn’t store your coins or tokens directly. Instead, it holds the keys that grant you access to your digital assets on the blockchain.

Public Key: This is your wallet’s address, which others can use to send you tokens. It’s safe to share this key with anyone.

Private Key: This key is crucial for maintaining control over your wallet. It should be kept secure, as anyone with access to it can control your assets.

When you create a wallet, a keypair is generated, consisting of a public and a private key. This keypair allows you to interact with the blockchain, sending and receiving tokens securely. For those looking to participate in the Koii Network, setting up a Koii Wallet is the first and most crucial step.

The Benefits of a Decentralized Wallet: Why Choose Koii?

Decentralized wallets, like the Koii Wallet, offer several advantages over their centralized counterparts. Centralized wallets, often provided by exchanges or third-party services, may hold your private keys on your behalf, which poses potential risks.
