09 Aug Symbol blockchain news update – 09/08/22
Good afternoon! It’s Tuesday already and I am taking a break from the seemingly endless list of tasks that I need to wrap up before I finish my current job. Next month will mark a new beginning and I will join the pirate crew. I’m incredibly excited but equally petrified! 😅
Welcome home
Hope you enjoyed your break from Twitter Hatchet, it’s good to see you back! I guess this means that we as a community are policing ourselves now and calling out bad behaviour. We are a world away from the “community” we had in days of old. Great to see so many people doing good things and so few moaning about price – happy days! 😊
Tomatina time!
It’s back! Get your overripe tomatoes at the ready as Tomatina 2022 is scheduled for 31st August!
I’m not sure what events are planned or who is doing what at the moment, as I find out more I will let you know. I think that xembook is looking for community contributions so think of some Tomatina ideas, start a QUEST, and get building – the community will support you. If you are contributing something then let me know and I will feature it in the next post (and boost your quest!).
And the winner is…
A big congratulations to @rookbl for winning the first prize in the Ukraine charity art contest. I was one of the 503 people that voted for you – fantastic work! 😍
Congrats to the other winners too. I have a feeling that I voted for these as well?! 😆
The angel of XYM City
I didn’t see this anywhere on the Design channel on Discord but I think that it is an “official” artwork from the Symbol team and features everyone’s favourite XYM citizen @bestgoldangel. Really love this, so cool 😎
XYM Comic episode 6
Yay! Episode 6 of XYM Comic is now available for your viewing pleasure and it’s a good one! Go check it out (especially if you are a fan of red meat) 😂
Don’t try this at home
Oh my! This is my worst nightmare, trying to write code on a smartphone, I can barely send messages – @toshiya_ma you are hardcore 😂 I think that this is a demonstration that it can be done rather than a recommendation. If you would like to get started writing code to send Symbol transactions then I recommend using a computer to do it! 😅
Silverware
This was a nice surprise, I finally received my XYM silver coin! It had to be shipped well, by ship, due to 💩🥫’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine. It took a few months to get here from Japan. It’s pretty though so worth the wait – I like it a lot! 😊
Going for a stroll
Haha, Radio has been out and about in Tokyo and discovered a secret oasis “Symbol Promenade Park”. It sounds very civilised, somewhere one might take a picnic or go for a leisurely stroll 🎩
Haha – I just looked it up on Google Maps and I have actually been there! It’s the place with the Gundam Statue – also visited Tokyo JoyPolis just over the road, fun times! 😁
Thanks!
OK, I am going to leave it there for today. I will be back soon with another Symbol Blog news update!
I’m a Symbol and NEM enthusiast and run this blog to try to grow awareness of the platform in the English-speaking world. If you have any Symbol news you would like me to report on or you have an article that you would like to publish then please let me know!
