RaiBlocks Newsletter 11th September 2017 (Issue: 4)

Welcome to the fourth issue of the RaiBlocks newsletter, apologies for the delay in releasing this newsletter, I’ve been caught up in a lot of RaiBlock related projects!

Core Wallet/Node Development
After a lot of work Version 8.0 was released on 26th August 2017, it included significant improvements in syncing especially from zero as well as reduced IO load. It is recommended that users upgrade to this version, more information can be found here https://github.com/clemahieu/raiblocks/releases/tag/V8.0
Since the release there has been 4 further commits and development will continue.

RaiBlocks Road Map
After a bit of work the Dev team have put together a road map showing our plans for the next few months. https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/e/2PACX-1vTFdRMiusLr7K7OfpaoyUBPyFuFTwGeKZ-uBz_70h4tHhaa7v5joUcHv6-N1qYMJAwbZG-34ko338sU/pub?w=960&h=720

Third Party Services
YapRai Shop
RaiBlocks has its first webshop, built as a demonstration but also functioning with real products you can check our the YapRai Webshop (https://shop.yapraiwallet.space). Current products are vinyl laptop stickers and all transactions are in XRB, we’ll ship anywhere in the world!

@xrb_giveaway
As demonstration of possible uses we have put together a example about how RaiBlocks could be used as a microtransaction system on twitter. In @xrb_giveaway if you have your xrb address in your profile and retweet a tweet you’ll get a small reward. To know whether there is a reward look for RT10:1XRB, this means that the first 10 retweets will get 1XRB.

1. How did you find out about RaiBlocks
I found about raiblocks thanks to a friend who gave me an account to test the faucet. Then I started to learn on my own

2. Where do you think RaiBlocks will be in the next 6 months
I believe raiblocks will reach a lot of people around the world, thanks to the greatness of the xrb and the faucet itself. It is easy to claim and it is fair for everyone. Hope that all the systems (wallets, faucet, coin, exchange) get to bigger services, such as bittrex and more...

3. What do you use RaiBlocks for?
I use raiblocks for the reward in xrb. With it I have learned how to trade in different currencies and read the growing market. If it wasn't for raiblocks, I wouldn't be able to see the potential of the cryptocurrency. I have been months using it and it has been a fulfilling experience

4. What is the coolest feature of RaiBlocks
The coolest feature about raiblocks its his diversity of wallets. You can use the official or third-party such as yaprai or telegrambot with no problems at all. The faucet it self it's the main feature, but it still has a lot to improve to become perfect

Technical Analysis of a Feature
What are representatives?
To keep the network healthy there is a system of voting and consensus, if you left your wallet online all the time then your wallet helps contribute to this. A representative is an account that you chose who can vote on your behalf but cannot spend your balance.  This way you can keep your wallet offline and your balance can still be used for consensus. Voting and Consensus is key for the network to overcome forks (however due to the wallet and protocol design these are near non-existent). The more representatives on the network the better so if you are running a node/wallet 24hrs a day then this would be a great thing to do.

I try this new audio captchas hour by hour but i cant take to claim because of the sound and so slow earning now can you back the old captchas like the car,bridge or etc. the bot cant detect that because that is so big right?just suggest for fast captchas and also for good earnings

same here. sometimes, the guy's voice is unbearable to hear! the voice behind is much more louder than him. It's also very slow and more and more negative claims we got because of that stupid audio captcha.

bullshit audio captcha so sucks

Well you(plural form dedicated to claimers) did want to change google captcha because of illegal pools and bots which caused high threshold , another option to it was audio captcha , if you do not like it aswell maybe the best thing to do is to stop distribution right ? Why don't you go and give your suggestions on telegram or slack ?

I hope this audio captcha will not be replaced again, but claiming right now might be pointless because if typing captchas will come back sooner or later it will be 100% much easier to collect claims. It will be a huge disadvantage for the ones who are doing audio captchas these days. Max claim someone can attain is 240 Claims per hour. Compared to like 500-800 claims per hour with Typing Captcha. Since devs started implementing this type of captcha, i wish to not change it again. For it will be more fair with everyone and kick those bots out. I don't really have the problem with Audio Captcha's noise it's really easy ffs, i don't know why are there people saying that they cannot understand a thing.

The captcha has ONLY 4 Characters which is composed of 1234567890, the trick here is to remember it should be only 4 Characters and all of them are numbers. Sometimes the noise is really loud that it will even mask the one last number, but just let that one go and start the next one. You will get used to the noise and understand it clearly onwards as you claim. Don't worry about invalid claims you will get used to it.


Thanks to the DEVS!
