22 Jul Symbol blockchain tweet update – 23/07/21
Welcome to today’s Symbol Blog news update – this is our 50th blog post! We have scoured Twitter for interesting Symbol and NIS1 related tweets to save you some time 😊
Breaking news – Q&A part 1
@0x6861746366574, @Jaguar0625 and @NCOSIGIMCITYNRE have just published their response to the first 52 questions posed to them in the community Q&A. There will be a part 2 coming soon – well done for asking so many questions! Please give it a read, there is some interesting questions and replies – we get two mentions too so I am happy 😄
Tonkatsu
I spotted this tweet from @AI27982784 about a restaurant that is accepting payment in XYM. Chipmunk has written up a full article on his blog nemedia but I love tonkatsu so I had to give it a mention in today’s update.
The restaurant is based in Yokohama so it’s a bit too far for me to go for lunch(!), but if I am ever in the vicinity then it will definitely be on my to do list. It has an average rating of 4.4/5 on Google so if you happen to be in the area then go check it out – the food looks delicious!
If you live in Japan or are planning a trip then take a detour and give some trade to the restaurant and to other businesses accepting XYM payment.
GOLD Symbol coins!
I really want one of these but I am not sure if my bank balance will (or at least should) stretch to this! Symbol gold coins – they look amazing! I always seem to be promoting @sakamotometal – don’t worry I am not receiving commission! 😂 I will say that he is a skilled craftsman and if you haven’t checked out his work already then go have a look at his store.
NEM Ventures
I spotted this on the forum earlier in the week but @thilon‘s tweet just reminded me. If you are interested in companies building on NIS1 and Symbol then this forum post is an essential read. The progress of the businesses supported by NEM Ventures looks incredibly promising and there are some really cool use cases for the technology that are being developed into real businesses.
Mind blown 🤯
I love how your mind works @0x6861746366574! I get the concept but the application is too abstract for me to comprehend at the moment. Is this more of a thought experiment or will it have practical benefits? Please write this up for us in more than a 5 line tweet so that we can get our heads around it! 😆
Haha! 😂 I just spotted this tweet from @TrendStream – we are on the same wavelength! It would be awesome to have some more documentation of concepts and new ideas. If you give me the basics @0x6861746366574 then I can work with these, do some research and write things up in a way that I (and others like me) can understand 😊
Shopping with XYM
Thanks @Niashabid17 for this @nembear tweet which discusses and demonstrates payment for items using XYM. It is in Japanese but you can use the auto translate subtitles in Youtube to translate into your native language.
School of NEM 👨🏻🏫
I wouldn’t let you down so we have slipped this @SchoolofNEM tweet in (thanks @FaizulReza1 for the translation). I missed this at the time but in 2018 an interview with core developer @Jaguar0625 was published. It is only a short Q&A session and times have changed since then but it is worth a read.
I would love to publish a follow up interview on Symbol Blog. @Jaguar0625, @NCOSIGIMCITYNRE, @0x6861746366574 et al. if you read this and have any time in your schedule then it would be great to get an update. I’m sure that the world would be eager to hear about some of the many things in development at the moment and with the new structure and ethos of NEM.
A link to the original article is available in English and Japanese.
Another reminder
Finally, just another quick reminder – the NEM town hall meeting will be held at 10:00 AM UTC on Tuesday 27th July on the Discord server. Make sure you register on Discord and attend the live meeting there are important discussions on the future of NIS1 and Symbol and branding.
Also if you haven’t filled in the questionnaire already then please do it ASAP – it is anonymous and so you should not be afraid to give your honest opinion!
OK, that’s it for today. We will be back again tomorrow with some more Symbol news! Thank you for reading 😊
