29 Jun Latest tweets from Japan – 29/06/21

Another day and more tweets to cover from our Japanese community members! Thanks to the original posters and to the community members providing translations! Apologies if my explanations aren’t 100% accurate but I have linked the original tweets!

I’m more of a lover than a fighter but thanks for letting me know about this Radio-Radio. I remember this story from back in 2018 (the glory days before the pandemic ridden 2020’s). A Japanese fighter called Sohjun Ikkyu fought in a martial arts tournament at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. He had a temporary chest tattoo advertising NEM and kicked some ass with a TKO 21 seconds into his fight. His special move was the “catapult elbow cut”. Can we get him back with a Symbol tattoo and upgrade his special moves? Aggregate transaction uppercut maybe?

In this tweet @xembook explains aggregate transactions on Symbol. Aggregate transactions allow a user to combine multiple payments to multiple accounts into a single transaction.

You may have noticed if you received a recent payout from NEMHub that it was sent as an aggregate transaction. This simplifies paying many users simultaneously. Thanks @alediemmee for the translation!

Another translation of a @xembook tweet posted by @DjCellBlock puts claims of transaction speeds into perspective. Many new blockchains are claiming huge transaction speeds but they are only in beta. Will they deliver in production? We know that NEM NIS1 and Symbol perform reliably in the real world and now the discussions are about data scalability.

Also picked up by @AbdouBouterfaya who has expanded the translation (thanks!):

P.S. If you haven’t seen it yet, the roadmap for both Symbol and NIS1 looks exciting!

Next up, just a reminder to check out NEMmedia! It’s a great resource written in Japanese but it is definitely worth a look even if you are (like me) relying on Google Translate! Thanks @mikun for the tweet, @Navid4good for alerting me to it and to the incredible Chipmunk @AI27982784 for the amazing website!

OK, we have a decent haul of tweets for 7:30am. I need a coffee and have to start work so just one more for you. Thanks @schwab_leonardo for bringing my attention to this tweet from @nembear – it’s an idea for an NFT card game. I am not sure of the exact details but it sounds cool! 😎 I think that NFT collectable cards will be huge and having a platform where you could actually use them and play games with other players would be amazing. Let’s build it!
