12 Jan Symbol blockchain news update – 12/01/22

Half way through the working week already! I have a backlog of things to do so this will be a short post and I better get on with it!

Time to get hacking

I reported on this a few times before but the NEMTUS Hackathon is open for registration and looking for more entrants. Apparently 13 people have signed up so far and it would be great to see some more entries so if you have an idea then please check out the website. Google Translate should get you through if you can’t read Japanese and I am sure that the organisers would be happy to help with queries so don’t be shy, have a go!

Please consider participating! 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♀️ https://t.co/JdzlQVHZjw

Community help needed!

Hatchet needs some research doing and is calling on the community to help. If you can make a list of all exchanges that do not currently list either XEM or XYM (vs a BTC reference) then let Hatchet know.

Maybe this is a collaborative community project? Would be nice to have a master list we can work against.

— Hatchet 𓊝 (@0x6861746366574) January 11, 2022

I thought this would be an easy task but actually getting the BTC reference is not straightforward. I had a go last night (admittedly it was a 10 minute job) but the results didn’t look right since I was obviously not getting all of the exchanges listing BTC.

From CoinMarketCap it looks like the following exchanges list XYM

AEX
BKEX
Bibox
BitClover (Hotbit Korea)
Bitbank
Bithumb
Bitrue
Bittrex
Bybit
CoinEx
EXMO
Gate.io
HitBTC
Hotbit
KuCoin
LATOKEN
Poloniex
ProBit
ProBit Global
ZB.COM
Zaif

These list XEM:

AEX
AscendEX (Bitmax)
BKEX
BTC Trade UA
Bibox
Binance
BitClover (Hotbit Korea)
BitMart
Bitbns
Bithumb
Bitrue
Bitvavo
Bybit
CoinDCX
CoinEx
CoinTiger
Coinsbit
Crex24
Dex-Trade
DigiFinex
DragonEX
EXMO
Exrates
FMFW.io
Finexbox
Gate.io
GokuMarket
HitBTC
Hotbit
Huobi Global
IndoEx
Indodax
KuCoin
Kuna
LATOKEN
Liquid
Mandala Exchange
OKEx
P2PB2B
Pionex
Poloniex
ProBit
ProBit Global
Tokocrypto
Upbit
VALR
VinDAX
WazirX
XT.COM
YoBit
ZB.COM
ZBG
ZT
Zaif
Zipmex

But I the list of BTC pairs on CoinMarketCap is loooooong and even getting the first few thousand results I ended up with a very short list of unique exchanges. EDIT: CoinGecko list is a bit longer..

AAX
AEX
AlterDice
B2BX
BKEX

This is obviously incomplete. If you can do better (I am 100% positive that you can) then please let Hatchet know!

Goodbye space wizard 😢

As you may have heard the wizard of docs @sigsegvx will be leaving us to start a new adventure. Just wanted to say good luck and you will be missed! Hopefully we will still see you around in XYM City!

Hello #Symbol shipmates!

I am afraid I have an announcement to make… I'm changing my role in the Syndicate, from now on I'll be Community instead of Pirate.

Please allow me to explain my reasons because it's not a bad thing 🙂

Symnity

This looks cool! I think it is still under development but @toshiya_ma has published his code for integrating Symbol into Unity on GitHub. If you would like to learn more or use it to start making your own Symbol games then you can check out the repository here. Nice! 😎

開発途中ですがUnityでも使えるC#のSymbol−SDKです😁https://t.co/JkPGNGyonG

ハッカタスでUnity使えるなら参加したい人がいるかもしれないので公開します

UnityScript/SampleTransactions.cs
にあるものは利用可能です👍（アグリゲートはコンプリートのみ

Nodes on the go

@ahikicoin‘s Symbol Node List has gone mobile! It was already available for Android but there is now an iOS app so I can finally use it! You just enter your Symbol address and it will notify you of harvests and will show you stats for the node that you are harvesting on. If you are a node owner or a harvester then this is a must have app so go download it!

“Monorepo”

This is the first time I have ever written “monorepo” and it sounds like a sci-fi movie title 😁 It means that all of the Symbol git repositories have now come together in a single place. Makes sense right?

We have begun reorganizing our git repositories and have created a new monorepo with all of the #Symbol platform code: https://t.co/ijv4cUWIJq

So far: clients, sdks, catbuffer, REST.
More to come?

Here is the structure (with Javascript SDK coming soon^TM).

🎶 Got to get you into my life 🎶

Apologies for the title, the Beatles song came into my head and I went with it. This is an interesting idea. Hatchet has created a “life” token. This breaks the remainder of her days into 1 minute units (assuming an 80 year life expectancy).

Here you go. Introducing my .life coin: https://t.co/6cymARWIOk

26,134,146 units – one for each minute I have to live. https://t.co/WVFp94jCrJ

— Hatchet 𓊝 (@0x6861746366574) January 12, 2022

You can buy a fraction of her life and she is offering a discount on the first hour! 😁

To kick things off: will auction off 60 .life coins for 600 XYM. That's an hour of my time, for $120 USD. My usual rate is $350 USD/hr, so that is a steal! 😂

Interested? Send me an aggregate transfer request. 😉

— Hatchet 𓊝 (@0x6861746366574) January 12, 2022

This is essentially what we all do already if you have a day job or consultancy. We are selling our time to perform tasks. This formalises the process and is a really interesting concept. Maybe get your Hatchet life tokens whilst they are affordable, if her rate goes up then you’ll have to pay more in the future!

I have to say I am very tempted by the introductory offer but unfortunately I don’t think 60 minutes is enough time to write a blog post 😔

Thanks!

Thanks for reading, I will be back again soon with another post!
