SafeMoon Wallet

SafeMoon community member ShaunAn Tweeted,

"I just noticed that ACH deposit is available in #safemoonwallet via moonpay. How long has that been a thing? I admittedly haven't bought any crypto for a few weeks. Today was my 1st. So that's pretty cool."

SafeMoon replied to ShaunAn's Tweet,

"👀"


Quote Tweeting SafeMoon's reply above, SafeMoon community member Danology responded with a question.

"ACH Deposit available in Moonpay on the #SAFEMOONWALLET?"

SafeMoon Education Manager Cats added a little tidbit about ACH deposits to Danology's Tweet.

"What is an ACH deposit? ACH deposits are a means of sending money electronically using the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network: i.e., the inter-bank system used by 10,000+ member institutions to coordinate deposit and withdrawal requests involving bank accounts. #SafeMoon"

Crypto Safety Checklist🚩

New Project Red Flags by CertiK 🚩Marketing Traps 🗣

If a project uses any of the following lures to catch your attention and your money, you should immediately cross them off your list:

  • 100,000% APY

  • super auto-compounding rebasing mechanisms

  • multi-level marketing rewards

  • transaction taxes

🚩Unverified Dev Team👀

Honest teams will not shy away from appropriate due diligence processes, which include a full background check and verification of the history of every key team member, and this is why it is an integral part of the CertiK KYC Badge.

🚩Absence of Product

A common tactic scammers use is to either convince you that the product is too sophisticated and complex for you to understand, that it is still at the idea stage, or that there is no product or utility yet but the team will build many utilities later on

🚩Coding Issues 💻

To reduce the risk of blockchain projects technical failures and cyber-attacks, legit developers routinely get smart contract audits. You should always check the result of these audits on our Security Leaderboard, and be wary of any major issues

🚩Geographical Havens 🌎

If the key developers are located in a country that has a less-developed regulatory, law enforcement, and/or judicial system, they can easily leverage this geographic distance to render difficult or near-impossible any future litigation/prosecution.


Detecting just one of these red flags should be a warning for you to dismiss a potential investment. If you have the slightest doubt, consider it a 🚩.

Web3: Permissioned versus Permissionless Blockchain

Permissioned Blockchain

When it comes to security operations on a blockchain ledger, which can only be done by a few people authorized to do so, we use a permission ledger. In simple terms, the distributed ledger in this can only be accessed by a few people who have been allowed to do so by the administrator. These users are provided different types of privileges which allows them to do certain actions. However, it must be noted that anyone who is not allowed by the administrator, will not be allowed to access it publicly. The major benefit of this model is that since the people accessing the ledger are limited, any kind of changes made in the ledger can be easily tracked and the user can be identified.


Features:
  • The first major feature of permissioned blockchain is that it provides more transparency based on the objectives of the organization. It is more clear as to who has made the changes, and who has been permitted to do so. Every action taken by the user is tracked and known.

  • Permissioned Blockchain is of great advantage to private entities or companies as it has allowed them to handle data in a more secure way. It has complete control over who has the access to it and who has permission to make the changes.

  • Lack of anonymity is another feature that can prove a lot more useful for private entities. Since only a limited number of users are allowed to make the changes to the data, every change is tracked to the user. So the administrator is always aware of the changes and who actually made them.

  • Permissioned blockchain does have a lack of central authority but it allows a private group to authorize decisions.

Permissionless Blockchain

A permissionless blockchain is completely the opposite of a permissioned blockchain. In the permissionless model, which is also known as a public blockchain, there are no restrictions, and the participation is not controlled by an administrator. Anyone can participate in the consensus and validate the data. There are no administrators allowing the users to participate or giving them the permission and rights to make the changes. It is a completely decentralized blockchain platform across unknown parties.


Features:
  • Since permissionless blockchain does not have any kind of restrictions for the user to join through an open network, there is complete transparency of transactions to the users.

  • The platform is a completely open-source development as the users can easily access it and make the necessary changes to it.

  • The clause of anonymity did not exist in permissioned blockchain, but here it does. However, it does not mean that it provides complete anonymity, it does have some exceptions while making the changes.

  • Permissionless blockchain lacks central authority since it is open to any user.

  • It also offers heavy use of the tokens and digital assets as an incentive to participate. Therefore, it leads to more efficient and effective working.

Apple Job Listings and Patents Hint at Foray into ‘3D Mixed-Reality World’

Technology giant Apple appears to be working towards the development of a metaverse-sounding “3D mixed-reality world,” according to related patent filings and recent job postings.


Since Nov. 1, over 30 jobs have been listed on Apple’s careers page related to augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) with the Big Tech player seeking a mix of software and hardware engineers to be mostly based in its Technology Development Group (TDG). TDG is a secretive team within Apple that may reportedly stem as far back as 2017, which is understood to be working on developing AR and VR technology. Apple has never officially confirmed such a device was in the works, though it is widely considered a tech industry “open secret.”


While Apple is currently hiring for over 150 positions according to its careers page, one particular job opening from August makes particular mention to a type of “3D mixed-reality world”. The job ad is for an AR/VR network engineer, with part of the description reading: “In this role you will work closely with other developers and build tools and frameworks to enable connected experiences in a 3D mixed-reality world.” [Source: Cointelegraph]
