 Please won't you be my neighbor well hello neighbor you're watching the Daily Decrypt episode 30 I'm Amanda B. Johnson your host today Bitcoin is $331 Made safe coin is two cents Counterparty is 90 cents and the supernet is a dollar 18 and today's episode is brought to you by Telebit a new bit torrent client that uses incentives to make file sharing faster and profitable is Now available and it's called joy stream So joy stream lets leachers send Bitcoin micro payments to cedars in order to make file sharing so quickly that it Would ideally reach streaming level speeds joy stream is available on all operating systems And if you would like to learn more about it, there is a discussion group going on in zap chain You may have heard of dash which is a cryptocurrency We've mentioned here on the Daily Decrypt a few times most especially regarding master nodes And in case you're wondering what master nodes means or how all of it works like for example dark send which is how master nodes anonymized dash payments or Instant X which is how master nodes can guarantee almost instantaneous confirmations Dash has been kind enough to put out this video series Which you may find educational in case you were curious and I just like when people put out videos To replace the sort of like oh here's a 20 page long wiki that we have written here that you will never read because it's boring and Dry so if you were ever curious as some people are in that dash master nodes get paid There you go Have you ever heard of wolf from alpha? It's very cool. So I have used wolf from alpha just to generate QR codes for payment addresses, right? And so I've just typed in the address like for example my Bitcoin tip address like here And then QR and then code and I press enter and wallabazaam It makes a QR code for me But I just discovered today that you can do a lot more than make QR codes on wolf from alpha It calls itself a computational knowledge engine, which is apparently markedly different from like a search engine and You just plug in the questions that you have and it uses like special things to give you answers for example about things like chemistry and history and math and physics and even games and all of these things and so if you are a Datahead, which I suspect some of you might be I think you would get a never-ending Braingasm by visiting wolf from alpha. So I just wanted to tell you about it There is a government-run television channel in the Netherlands called VPRO and Earlier this month. They released a 50 minute documentary called the gospel of Bitcoin and I've seen a clip of it and the clip was to my liking But I hear from a lot of others who have who have watched the full thing that it is definitely worth a watch Apparently it features Roger Vier Bitcoin Jesus quite a lot But unlike a lot of other crypto documentaries It also features interviews with people who think that Bitcoin is the devil and so it's supposed to make for an interesting sort of You know counter argument asks the viewer who is more credible That sort of thing and so if you were looking for a documentary to curl up with this weekend, there you go How annoying is it when the weather forecaster tells you to expect rain and you cancel your tailgate party or your beach party Or whatever and then it doesn't rain Could more accurate weather predictions be made if people predicting that weather had to put their money Where their mouth is? Maybe and the gambling site web bet is betting on it Web bet is a place where you can gamble Bitcoin light coin and dogecoin to make weather predictions for any of 5000 plus cities across the globe And if you're right you get paid and so I am seeing I have a flash vision of a future In which a site like web bet is potentially more accurate in predicting the weather than Some clickbaity website like weather.com or something We recently received a tip in Monero from Twitter Leo Treasure. Hey, thanks Leo And out of curiosity We went to the Monero blockchain to see what our tip looked like on the blockchain, right? Because like I've told you already Monero uses crypto note and view keys to like do all of these things Where it obscures transactions on the blockchain, but I was like I've never even looked at the Monero blockchain I should look at it. And so I plugged my payment address into Monero blocks.eu And it tells it gives me an error like it cannot They don't you you cannot search people's transaction histories by addresses on the Monero blockchain So that in and of itself I was like, oh wow that that's kind of private So I actually have to open my Monero wallet to pull out the transaction ID Which only Leo and I know And I plug that into the block explorer and it did bring up the transaction And you know what it told me like almost pretty much a whole lot of nothing, right? Like I don't know Leo's address that he sent from It didn't show my address either and it did not even show the exact amount that he tipped us And so I was just kind of blown away by that and turns out people whose Whose favorite crypto is not even Monero like Peter Todd, for example Peter Todd tweeted recently that he uses Monero to launder his bitcoins like bada bing bada boom Useful for all regardless of what your favorite crypto is. So thanks Leo and thanks Monero And the Latin American Bitcoin conference is coming up in Mexico City on December 4th and 5th And guess who got press passes? This one and also a cameraman and we will be there covering it on those days And so you can look forward to that. I know that I am And good vibes to the people at telebit who have been our sponsors this week I think it's it's a good way to tell the usefulness of something If the person who's hawking it and trying to sell it to you Actually uses it themselves And that's what the telebit people did when they reached out to us about sponsorship They paid us using the telebit bot and so that's neat If you would like to learn how to use it on your own telegram account Or just how to use it on your android device visit telebit.org And speaking of bots remember to subscribe to the daily decrypt so that a google bot can email you every time we release a video I love bots. I love robots. Have a good weekend
