It iterates once and digs down to nodes(0, 1), returns the values of the two preceding nodes as any node's value and sums back up to the node I enter. This way it calculates the tree once, then I retrieve values by referencing a node. $F = new Fibonacci(7); echo $F->Fibs(7)->myValue; echo $F->Fibs(6)->myValue; here is a normal sample from the IBM site function fib($nth = 1) { static $fibs = array; if ( ! empty ($fibs ) ) { return( $fibs ); } if ( $nth < 2 ) { $fibs = $nth; } else { $fibs = fib( $nth - 1 ); $fibs = fib( $nth - 2 ); $fibs = $fibs + $fibs; } return( $fibs ); } --- --- ## Posts > A business and sales model combining the power of Western science (Maslow) and Eastern experience (Chakra's) - Published: 2025-05-30 - Modified: 2025-05-30 - URL: https://www.juust.org/index.php/1-2-3-prosperity-maslow-and-chakras/2025/05/ - Categories: juust, AI - Tags: AI, chakra, juust, maslow A business and sales model combining the power of Western science (Maslow) and Eastern experience (Chakra's) I am developing a new AI app, I called it the Business Chakra Scan.

Both are psychological models of humans and their needs and impulses and behavior. I know Maslow from my studies and work as business economist, and Chakra's from my work as (freestyle independant) priest back around 2001. It occurred back then, 25 years ago, that these match to a high extent. So I used ChatGPT to check it out, ChatGPT is good in languages, semantics, and pattern matching. These are two patterns that seemed to match, so I had ChatGPT check it out. I am good at languagues and patterns myself, so I had a blast with ChatGPT working this out.

" ChatGPT's Response:In many traditional cultures, including the so-called Amen cultures (a term sometimes used to describe spiritual or cultural systems rooted in ancient Egyptian and broader African traditions), the stamhouder (family heir) has a special role and specific duties. Although the exact interpretation varies by culture, there are several common themes: Guardian of the Family Line and Traditions The heir is seen as the person responsible for continuing the bloodline and passing on family traditions. They often act as the keeper of the family's stories, rituals, and genealogy, ensuring this knowledge is transmitted to future generations. Spiritual Leader In some Amen cultures, the heir is expected to have a strong connection to the ancestors. They perform rituals to strengthen the bond with ancestors and seek blessings or guidance. It is often the heir’s duty to make offerings to the ancestors or spirits that watch over the family. Protector of Family Honor The heir is responsible for upholding the family’s honor, reputation, and values. This often includes mediating disputes within the family or between families. Distributor of Resources and Heritage The heir usually manages family property such as land, livestock, or other assets. This is often viewed as collective family property, and the heir ensures it is used or distributed fairly. They play a central role in organizing and providing resources for major life events such as weddings or funerals.

The Future of WorkConclusion In business, everything revolves around efficiency and time. Every minute is valuable, and that value is often expressed in monetary terms. There's a well-known rule of thumb that says, "1 euro per minute. " It’s a simple way to understand how much time and money something costs. If you spend an hour on a task, it costs you or your company at least 60 euros, assuming the total cost of an average employee (let's call him “Joe Average”) is about 60 euros per hour. But did you know that the real profit often lies in the small tasks that take just a few minutes each time? These tasks may seem minor, but they accumulate over time, eventually consuming a significant amount of time and money. A great example of this is creating an excerpt for blog posts or news articles. Example : Wordpress Excerpts Let’s dive into a real-world example. Suppose you run a blog or manage a news website with hundreds or even thousands of articles. For each post, you'd like to add an excerpt—a short summary that gives readers a quick idea of what the article is about without having to read the entire piece. This is the tiny text Google uses for their search results. Creating an excerpt typically takes about 2 to 5 minutes per post.

Mini-Scrum I am not up to working, but I managed to get something done, using a kind of “mini-scrum” approach: 30 minutes of focus and coding, followed by an hour of relaxation and recovery. Reading API docs, mainly, thinking about it. I had no clue if that was even possible, porting the N8N template. In N8N, you see all these cheerful shapes doing something with various settings, but I had no idea if it was heavily coded or not, if there were functions in the shapes. I decided to just try it and figure it out along the way. Tuesday : part 1 I threw the idea at ChatGPT, and it loved it!

We are going to post a JSON body with 'firstname' to a webhook on our local machine, N8N puts the firstname in a prompt to Groq (in my case to make a quatrain about "firstname"), and then the workflow automation app creates a new Wordpress post with the Groq output as content. (spoiler) That would normally take five minutes, ten minutes, and now it takes 5 seconds. Easy peasy. N8N workflow automation N8N is a platform much like Zapier or Make.

There is a whole string of LTD ("life time deal") websites on the web. These are basically startups with usually a software application, that are looking for liquidity, cash, but also a userbase, feedback, promotion. These are often the newest technologies, currently AI is 'hot'. And being a business economist, I love checking out new tech and tools. The business model : 80% of startups goes belly up within three years. That could put people off, and to get them to opt in, they invented the 'life time deal'. Your average 'life expectance' is (36/5) ~7 months. To make it interesting often you pay 4 to 6 months of a tier. 60 dollars to 90 dollars for a 15 dollar tier. You can make your money back, on average. And 20% will last the distance. That is ("going concern" 10 years) 15x12x10= 1800 dollars in 'value'. So you buy 5 tools for 300 dollars in all, each yields 7x15 100 dollars and 1 yields 1800, so you can expect 2200 in value for 300 dollars on average. But don't forget : it also takes your own time, you often need a few hours to learn how to work with it, you spend half an hour on a review, Q&A with the developer. You invest time in it.

The Concept of the Pure LanguageThe Pure Language according to JuustPower TermsKarmaRedemptionNatural Redeemers That is something most people don't know about, the 'Pure Language'. I asked ChatGPT a year ago and it didn't produce anything much. But nowadays it has a nice story. People don't believe me, but they do 'trust' ChatGPT. So here is the story of ChatGPT : The idea of a "Pure Language," often associated with the language of Adam (from Adam and Eve), is a fascinating concept that appears in various religious, mystical, and philosophical traditions. Here's an overview of what it generally means: The Concept of the Pure Language Origins: The "Pure Language" is often thought of as the original language spoken by the first humans, Adam and Eve, in the Garden of Eden. This language is believed to be perfect, uncorrupted, and capable of directly expressing the true essence of things. Religious and Mystical Contexts: Judaism and Kabbalah: In Jewish mystical traditions, particularly Kabbalah, Hebrew is sometimes considered the "Pure Language. " The letters and words are thought to have inherent spiritual significance, with a divine connection to the creation of the universe. Christianity: In some Christian traditions, it's believed that the Pure Language was lost after the Tower of Babel when God confused human languages.

What is RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)? How RAG WorksKey PointsWhy RAG HelpsWhy you want RAG in your business1. Enhancing the Webshop Experience2. Optimizing Customer Service3. Internal Business ProcessesImplementation StepsFor small businessFor bigger companiesRAG Benefits for Your BusinessConclusion What is RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)? RAG is a technique that combines the power of large language models (LLMs) with external data sources (like PDFs, Word documents, web pages, databases, etc. ). The idea is to use the LLM to generate responses but enhance those responses by retrieving relevant information from a specific dataset that you provide. How RAG Works LLM Generates a Query: When you ask a question, the LLM generates a query to fetch relevant information from your dataset. Retrieval from Your Data: The system retrieves relevant documents or information from your specified data sources (like PDFs, Word docs, etc. ). This data serves as a reference or context for the LLM. Combining Information: The LLM uses this retrieved information to generate a response, often prioritizing the retrieved data over its general training knowledge. This means the output is more tailored to the data you provided. Key Points Reference Material: By adding your own data as reference material, the LLM will lean on this data when generating responses, preferring it over the general training data. Reducing Hallucinations: LLMs can sometimes generate plausible-sounding but incorrect information ("hallucinations"). By grounding the LLM's responses in your provided data, RAG can significantly reduce these hallucinations because it bases its responses on specific, factual data rather than just... --- - Published: 2024-08-19 - Modified: 2024-08-19 - URL: https://www.juust.org/index.php/groq-it/2024/08/ - Categories: AI, programming, seo, tool, wordpress - Tags: AI, seo Groq offer an interfence AI, with custom LPU hardware, the fastest AI on the web, and I tested their API.

Maar je hoeft niet per se te betalen, je kunt ook een gratis desktop LLM gebruiken van Huggingface. Dus ik had daarmee vorige week een appje gemaakt dat posts downloadde van mijn nieuws website, en die posts toonde in een gallerijtje. Dan kon ik klikken op een post en kreeg een eigen pagina. Een button erbij : "AI comment". Daarmee stuurde ik de post content (de eerste 2000 characters) naar de lokale LLM en dan komt er na 2 minuten stampen een antwoord. Dan nog een button 'update' en daarmee kon ik het commentaar toevoegen aan de post content, en dat updaten op de server. Lekker hout(hakk)erig. Dat kan beter. Want 1800 posts keer 2 minuten is 60 uur, en ik moet er om de twee minuten op 'update' drukken tot ik er simpel van word.

I wanted to take an array of Wordpress posts, through the REST API, and feed the content to a local AI (Meta Llama 3) and have it produce an 'editorial comment', so I can add it to the content and update the post.

With this system, keeping track of finances becomes more accurate and complete. This makes it simpler to spot mistakes and stop fraud. At the heart of double-entry accounting lies the accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Equity. It gives us a clear view into how financially healthy a company is, helping leaders make smarter choices. Around the globe, businesses big and small use this method. Public companies or those wanting to borrow money find it especially necessary. The benefits of using double-entry include better accuracy in records, deeper financial analysis capabilities, easier spotting of errors or fraudulent activity, and streamlined tax filing processes.

This tech makes financial records clearer and more accurate, cutting down on mistakes and fraud. With blockchain, auditing becomes smoother because it offers a safe way to check data analytics for stopping fraud. When you mix blockchain into old-school accounting setups, it helps manage the supply chain better and uses machine learning to make things run smoother. There are some real success stories out there about using blockchain in accounting that show how much promise it has for those working in financial services. For accountants and companies wanting to get all the good stuff from using blockchain, they need of figure out how to deal with challenges like keeping data safe and following rules. Introduction In recent years, blockchain technology has really caught everyone's eye. It's a kind of ledger tech that isn't controlled by just one place or person and it could change the game for lots of fields, especially accounting. The folks who work in accounting always want things to be clear, correct, and trustworthy. Blockchain can help with all that. With blockchain technology, keeping track of money stuff becomes safer and clearer because there’s no middleman needed and nobody can mess with the info once it’s put down. This could make everything from everyday bookkeeping to making financial reports better and even shake up how audits are done. For those in the know about numbers –... --- - Published: 2024-07-14 - Modified: 2024-07-25 - URL: https://www.juust.org/index.php/blockchain-technology-for-accounting/2024/07/ - Categories: accounting, blockchain - Tags: accounting blockchain for accounting, what are the trends and possibilities ? Key Highlights Blockchain technology is making big changes in the accounting world by making things clearer, more accurate, and faster when it comes to money matters. With its decentralized setup, blockchain brings a level of security and trust that's hard to beat when it comes to recording and checking transactions. At the heart of blockchain are smart contracts and ledger technology which help make processes automatic while cutting down costs. Thanks to blockchain, financial reports can now be updated in real-time without having to manually put together data or match records. This tech is not just about keeping books; it also has practical uses like stopping fraud, managing supply chains better, and making audits smoother. However, there are hurdles such as how well it can grow with demand, following rules set by authorities properly,and ensuring good management practices that need tackling for blockchain to really fit into accounting seamlessly. Introduction Blockchain technology is really shaking things up in a bunch of different fields, and the world of accounting isn't being left out. Even though people have mixed feelings about blockchain, we can't just brush off how it might change the usual way accountants do their thing. With more companies getting into cryptocurrency and seeing what blockchain can do for them, it's super important for accounting folks to get the hang of this. At its core, linked with stuff like Bitcoin, blockchain is all about keeping track of transactions without any chance to mess with that info.

Power BI is een Microsft pakket om data te visualiseren. Eye candy graphics : het ziet er strak en gelikt uit. Balkjes en lijntjes en percentages, pies en donuts. Kijk eens wat een Eye Candy : "A picture says more than a thousand words". Visualisatie In zo een grafiek als bovenstaande zie je eerder "het verhaal" : seizoenspatronen, uitschieters per jaar. Dat herken je makkelijker als ondernemer of manager dan kolommen en rijtjes met droge cijfers : 12. 434,22, 13. 284,23. Het plaatje past beter bij je beleving van het bedrijf, het beeld dat je er van hebt. Daar is het pakket heel sterk in, visualisaties en beeldvorming. Je hebt een aantal standaard visuals, elementen waarmee je data kan tonen, in de gratis Desktop versie. Daar kan je vrijwel alle basiszaken mee afbeelden. Als je meer wilt, 'online' heb je (met abonnement) toegang tot een bibliotheek met meer visuals. Maar met de standaard set kwam ik er prima uit tot nu toe. New Kid On The Block Power BI is relatief nieuw nog, het pakket komt uit 2015. Ik was toen zelf net begonnen met boekhouden en raakte in 2018 in de problemen met Crohn.

I dug into it back in 1995, when I started working, but back then it was too difficult for me. There was no StackExchange in 1995. DP was university material and there were only some C++ examples online. And I worked in VB, mostly with object collections and I had no idea about memoisation with arrays, I was no good with arrays. I broke my brain over it. In 1999 I developed an accounting system, and it's main processing routine took 4 hours (on a Pentium 1). I had to match 1800 costcenters to 1200 banking statements each month. Each cost center had 6 characteristiscs and each payment 5, so your maximum number of matching operations is 1200x4x1800x6, 64,8 million operations. That run wass always in the last three days of the month, and I sometimes had do to run some corrections and regenerate the report, and it took 4 hours every time... that was too long... I could use a stronger computer with a faster CPU, more and better memory, and maybe speed it up 10%, or use SQL optimisation and get another 5% but that all just didn't achieve enough.

Never having to work again. Just by coding in your notepad on your refurbished laptop on a 2. 50/mo shared hosting account. No paid services with credit cards and subscriptions with payment providers and customer help desks, no halls with thousands of GPUS and Bitcoin mining machines to maintain, enormous elecricity bills. No hassle. Just code. And where most would settle for a any million dollar baby, imagine "a million dollars per hour... " 86. 400 hours per year, 86. 4 billion dollars per year. Fully automated, on auto pilot. You'd make more money than Elon Musk. Sitting back and doing nothing, but counting the dollars. I accidentally managed to do so. Well, accidentally, as Seneca said, luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. I have my education as business economist and experience as coder, and had been digging into PHP and Wordpress and SEO for a few years, just for fun. That is the preparation, that just waits to meet (any of many) opportunities. It was a seemingly rather hopeless and harmless venture. I had made a Google Trends tracker. It started as tutorial, to show other coders how to code 'seo friendly pretty urls'. I made a quick Google Trends tracker with them.

De programmeurs wereld is er vol van, "ChatGPT". Vooral ook omdat het een API heeft. Dan kun je zelf ook AI programmaatjes maken. Let me at it, let me at it... maar ik heb geen credit card (de meeste AI API's zijn Amerikaanse bedrijven en die werken met Stripe/credit cards). En ik heb geen zin om 240 per jaar te betalen om voor mijn eigen lol met een API te spelen. Ik zocht een gratis AI met API.

Ik ben nog niet zo skilled in web3, maar waar ik over viel, ik had nog geen goeie authorisatie check op smart contract functies. Dat ik nog kan bewaken wie wel en niet functies kan gebruiken. Je hebt wel de onlyOwner modifier, en je kunt gerust een 'access control list' aanleggen, een whitelist, en verder was iemand bezig met een login functie, en bij Worldcoin willen ze je iris scannen en zo. Maar geen handige kant en klare auth-server. Mijn insteek, ik laat mensen inloggen op een website met hun Google account. Op een 'protected' pagina (waar je alleen komt als je een geldige login hebt) kun je inloggen met Metamask en je wallet signen. Dan weet ik vrijwel 100%% zeker dat die wallet aan dat profiel gerelateerd is. Ik sla die gegevens op in een smart contract, tenminste, niet de naam of email adres, maar het wallet address, de provider (google, facebook, twitter), de portal ('juust. org') en het profiel, de scope van authorisatie, je kunt nog een geldigheids-duratie aangeven als het moet. Vervolgens kan ieder ander contract dat contract raadplegen. Zogauw iemand bijvoorbeeld de 'transfer'-functie wil gebruiken. Die transfer en withdraw functies kan ik 'bewaken' met een modifier onlyAuth. Dat is dan een functie die checkt, voor het uitvoeren van de functie, of iemand voldoet aan de check in de onlyAuth modifier functie.

Als overtuigd bedrijfseconoom (maar vooral uit frustratie omdat ik geen React kon programmeren en geen frontendje kon maken voor een smart contract) had ik vorig jaar al 100 spreadsheets met token calculaties gemaakt. Wat mij gaandeweg opviel was de omloopsnelheid van coins en tokens. Ik had na zeven jaar CMC kijken de indruk dat een gezonde token 3% daghandel heeft. Is dat ook zo ? Je zou al uitgebreid handelsdata moeten analyseren. Maar je kan ook steeksproefsgewijs kijken op CMC. je kunt op CMC op de voorpagina bij de top-100 "Volume/Mcap" selecteren als kolom (dat is standaard niet zichtbaar maar je kunt zelf met de knop 'customize' kolommen kiezen) en dan kun je zien wat het percentage daghandel is. Deze is van vandaag, 12 juni. En dat zit rond de 2. 3%, 2. 5%, net als vorige week. Het is een bearmarket, en een lichtelijke rode dag was het. Dus ik denk dat ik met die 3% aardig in de buurt zit. (Tether met 22. 9% is een stablecoin, die zitten vaak eerder rond de 15 a 20% volume) Die 3% daghandel is koop en verkoop, dus als je 10. 000 marketcap hebt, dan wordt er zeg 150 gekocht en 150 verkocht, 300 handel en dan zit je al op 3%. Dat haal je redelijk snel, die 3%. En dan komt de truuk : de omloopsnelheid : die 3% handel doe je dan 365 dagen lang, per jaar, dus je zet per jaar 365 x 3% ~1100% om.

WTF ? I spent half an hour trying to find out what I was doing wrong. I was just doing a tutorial, I was doing everything according to the tutorial, and countless others have succeeded where I miserably failed. So I assumed I made a mistake, and spent half an hour double checking everything, reinstalling @openzeppelin/contracts, updating hardhat. But no matter what I did, the bug happily persisted. An African on Youtube had a solution, a friend of his had mentioned that to him. According to his friend, the bug comes from the Solidity plugin of VS Code. If you install the v0. 0. 135 version (it is now at v0. 0. 163) the bug is gone. Just find the plugin through the sidebar plugin menu, click the uninstall button and it drops down : you can choose to uninstall, or install a previous version. Pick the latter and install v0. 0. 135. Reload the environment (ctrl-shift-p, reload window) and you're good to go.

It is said that in ancient days, a great civilization flourished within its walls, but its people were cursed by the wrath of the gods and the city was swallowed up by the desert, its people lost to the ages. Many have sought to uncover the secrets of this lost city, drawn by the lure of its vast treasures and ancient wisdom. But they have all met with madness or worse, for the city holds secrets that should never be uncovered by mortal man. Among the seekers of this city was a young archaeologist named Edward Danforth. He had long been fascinated by the mysteries of the ancient world and was determined to uncover the secrets of this lost city. He gathered a team of like-minded adventurers and set out across the desert, guided by ancient maps and forgotten legends. Days turned to weeks as they journeyed deeper into the desert, beset by sandstorms and scorching sun. They were driven by an obsession that bordered on madness, and as they drew closer to the lost city, they began to feel a sense of foreboding that chilled them to the bone. At last, they came upon the ruins of the ancient city, rising up from the desert like a ghostly apparition.

Worse, it is going back up. "Well", you say, "Everyone else says it is coming down... ". Okay, I'll explain this train-of-thought : The CPI YoY chart indicates inflation is going down. If you look at the data : we were at 8. 20% inflation last month, and now 7. 75%. That is 0. 45% less inflation. Hurrah, we're doing great ! But... that 7. 75% is from this october, compared to october last year. And from september to october last year, we had a 0. 83% increase in inflation. So your 'basis of comparison' is 0. 83% higher from september 21 to october 21. So october 22 will automatically show a 0. 83% improvement if prices remained the same. But CPI yoy only shows 0,45% improvement. 20212022combinedsep5,398,213,59oct6,22 (+0,83)7,75 (-0,45)13,97 (+0,38) Thus, if you take 2020 as 'zero/baseline', and add the yoy per month inflation, where it seems inflation came down in october 2022 by 0. 45%, the comined inflation compared to 2020, is actually going up 0. 38%. This is the US CPI yoy per month : You can take 2020 as baseline, "zero". There was a slight inflation throughout the year, but it is mostly around 1%, 2%. That means you can use the year as a baseline. You can add 2021 and 2022, month to month. January plus january, february plus february, and so on.

Mijn voorlopige voorspelling (zonder glazen bol) Ik denk steeds meer dat we pas tegen eind 2024, begin 2025 weer een bullmarket krijgen. Ten eerste vanwege de Bitcoin halving cyclus, ten tweede vanwege de macro-economische omstandigheden. Het viel mij op dat Bitcoin heel regelmatig om de 4 jaar een ATH (all time high) heeft: bodemtopPrijs_bPrijs_tROI2009 (creatie BTC)201311200120. 000%1200x2014201720020. 00010. 000%100x/1220182021300069. 0002. 100%21x/520222025(? )20. 000120. 000600%6x/3. 5 De ROI return per cyclus neemt af. De dagen van Crazy Bitcoin Profits zijn aan hun einde. Er komt wel steeds meer kapitaal op Bitcoin af, maar er blijft ook steeds meer kapitaal steken in Bitcoin. Ook vaak vanwege 'ongerealiseerd verlies' : hodlers die richting ATH kochten en de volgende bullmarket moeten afwachten om zonder verlies uit te cashen. Hoe meer kapitaal er in Bitcoin blijft, hoe meer nieuw kapitaal (relatief) nodig is om x100 te gaan. En er is niet genoeg adoptie om nog x100 te gaan in een cyclus. Ik denk dat je beter uit kan gaan van x6 naar 120K. Dat zou ook al 2 triljoen market cap zijn, met 40% BTC dominatie zou de hele markt richting 5 triljoen gaan. De vorige ATH wass 3 triljoen marktcap. Die 5 triljoen zou nog wel haalbaar zijn, tegen 2025. Onderstaande video legt de link naar de 4 jaars halving.

' : ik heb in 1999 de energie administratie van NS Stations overgenomen voor Nuon Groot Zakelijke Markt. Ik programmeerde daar een compleet accounting-pakket met EDI-koppeling, een automatische data-koppeling. Drie cijfers achter de komma voor de BTW, overheidsstandaards (NS is semi-overheid). Dan verwerk je maandelijks een miljoen aan voorschotten en afrekeningen, met controle tegen contractprijzen, controle op extreme verbruikswaarden. 1850 voorschotten en facturen per maand. Met de financial controlllers van zowel NS als Nuon die dat (scherp) in de gaten houden. Dan weet je wel aardig hoe dat in zijn werk gaat, als je al die software hebt geprogrammeerd. Mevrouw Flipsen zegt "het valt mee, er is maar 20% inflatie" Sandra Phlippen ("mevrouw Flipsen") van ABN AMRO liep te beweren dat CBS er naast zaten met hun schatting van 150% energiekosten inflatie. Er was volgens Sandra en ABN AMRO maar 20% inflatie. Hoe kwam ze daarbij ? ABN zitten bankafschriften te lezen van klanten, en zien betalingen van maandvoorschotten. Dan gaan ABN de maandvoorschot van augustus 21 met augustus 22 vergelijken, 133 euro versus 168 euro, en ze zeggen 'dat is 35 euro verschil, dus dat is 20% inflatie'. (pwweeeep-'fout'-buzzer) Die 133 euro was een jaargemiddelde, een voorschot termijn van een jaar-contract, op basis van gemiddeld jaarverbruik.

Er zijn wat van die eenvoudige dingetjes die je zo kan doen dat aardig kan besparen. Ik zat zelf 3 jaar geleden in januari op 180 kuub en de laatste twee jaar op 80 kuub. En daar kan ik nog 25% afhalen als ik flink ga kneteren. Ik heb even de afgelopen weken goed daarover nagedacht en een en ander even geregeld, uitzoeken is altijd het meeste werk. Maar als je niks doet dan, dan ben je aan de goden overgeleverd. Het is deels net als Dokter Vogel, of het nou werkt of niet, je kan tenminste wat doen, dan heb je dat gevoel van controle, dat je ook wat eraan gedaan hebt.

It isn't very practical or even interesting in itself, but the mere fact that the G7 are talking about it and publish their views, indicates they are seriously working on it, indicating it as 'strategic'. Well, there is gonna be a lot of demand for blockchain programmers if we get a CBDC. In short : the main principles : Principle 1: Monetary and financial stability Any CBDC should be designed such that it supports the fulfillment of public policy objectives, does not impede the central bank’s ability to fulfill its mandate and ‘does no harm’ to monetary and financial stability. Principle 2: Legal and governance frameworks G7 values for the International Monetary and Financial System should guide the design and operation of any CBDC, namely observance of the rule of law, sound economic governance and appropriate transparency. Principle 3 : Data privacy Rigorous standards of privacy, accountability for the protection of users’ data, and transparency on how information will be secured and used is essential for any CBDC to command trust and confidence. The rule of law in each jurisdiction establishes and underpins suchconsiderations. Principle 4 : Operational Resilience and Cyber Security To achieve trusted, durable, and adaptable digital payments; any CBDC ecosystem must be secure and resilient to cyber, fraud and other operational risks. Principle 5: Competition CBDCs should coexist with existing means of payment and should operate in an open, secure, resilient,... --- - Published: 2022-05-05 - Modified: 2022-05-05 - URL: https://www.juust.org/index.php/fomc-mini-surge/2022/05/ - Categories: cryptocurrency, DeFi, trends - Tags: cryptocurrency, DEFI Bearish outlooks, let's just make a steady stable bit of money for now and meanwhile do a bit of developing and coding I checked the effect of past FED rate hikes on the Bitcoin price, it didn't immediately affect the price. It caused a minor surge 3 out of 4 times but nothing major, no trend reversals within two weeks. You can get historic Bitcoin price data at CoinMarketCap. The Bitcoin price went up by 4. 5% to $39. 700. Nothing earth shattering there. I was about to launch my own token but I reconsidered. Mainly because the token had no actual utility :) and apart from that, I am not sure what the macro economic direction of the market will be. We have a rather high inflation throughout the West, we have supply chain problems, we have an emerging Russian gas and oil problem in Europe, an angry Russian Bear on the loose babbling about World War III and throwing nukes around the place. In the USA marketplace, the FED are cutting back their bond buyback and liquidity support program and raising interest to rein in inflation. That all reduces the liquidity in the stock market and also crypto market. Which seems to have been factored in already. Last month saw a 20-30% drop in the prices of the main tokens and coins. The NFT volume is down 92% from its ATH, the hype is over. The stock market had their worst three months in 50 years.

Programming is also about compliance. Keeping up with the development of IT and the overall socio economic system. I switched a bit two months ago from the Telegram BSC startup groups to the coder groups, and I love it. These people are all learning Solidity, ReactJS, they all want to get a job and a spot in a team. I love the enthousiasm. And they are more my kind of people than the "investor" crowd. I have been into crypto trading since 2014, but I have been coding since 1983. Back around 1983, a teacher in elementary brought a little turtle robot on wheels with an engine on batteries and a simple keypad, and you could instruct the little bot '10 meters straight ahead, right turn, 2 meters ahead, left turn' and make it drive through school. I was immediately sold on programming. My parents had bought a ZX Spectrum around that time, a very simple thing with 1K memory and a tape deck, you hooked it up to the television. Wow ! There were one or two books at the warehouse downtown and I got one of the books and programmed my first game, ski racing a few pixels downslope through 'the forrest'. There was an IT club in the neighboring city but that was too far fetched. After 5 years the little machine just fell apart. In 1991 I picked up coding again on an XT (and later a 286), with dBaseIII+ and Lotus spreadsheets. I fell madly in love with databases as well as spreadsheets.

What is fair in accounting terms is not always fair in business terms. In my preparations to launch my own token I researched the startup market and detected a number of problems. Honesty lasts longests, and if you want to develop a token as financial instrument to finance a business venture, you willl have to offer the market a fair deal. The problem : acquiring starting capital The current crypto market for projects has problems aquiring starting capital. Banks and family (traditionally the main sources of startup capital) won't finance the rather risky crypto startups. Crypto is considered the Wild West : scams, rugpulls, corrupt team members running off with the marketing wallet. Apart from that, it is an emerging market. What is hip and cool today is obsolete and old tomorrow. And where in the normal economy 80% of startups go belly up in three years, in crypto 80% goes belly up in three months. All in all it is considered to risky by the conventional source of starting capital, and as Jack Dorsey said (correctly) "VC owns crypto". VC and private investors (mostly speculants). The competition for capital is fierce It can be very cheap to start a token project : 25 dollars to put a copy contract online with 25 dollars for a website, 1000 dollars in the liquidity pool (which you can retrieve later on), and there you go... the 50 dollar scam market.

How about getting fresh cryptocurrency token price quotes in your Excel spreadsheet ? I built a spreadsheet to track the development of the value of an investment in a liquidity pool. I had to register the numbers and prices of each token, the numbers and prices at the start, and the current numbers and prices. I was updating the current price data manually. That gets tiresome, constantly switching screens, typing prices. Clumsy. I wondered if I could use some crypto API to get some of the data. I figured I could use the CoinMarketCap API to get the price updates of the two pool tokens. I thought I would have to program a routine in VBA to get the data from the CoinMarketCap API.

This is not about programming. I have been out of the game for a while and only recently started to get back on track. A few years ago, I got ill. Cramps in the gut. I went to the docter and he told me it was IBS, irritable bowel syndrome. He told me it was incurable, not fatal or anything, 10% of the people have IBS. He didn't pay any further attention to it, and sent me home telling me to read up on IBS. So I went home, read up on IBS on the web, and well, that was it, there was nothing more I could do. A friend of mine also has a slight case of IBS. He had some plant medicine he always used, and recommended. So I decided to give that a try. I do not particularly believe in homeopathy. But sometimes I am willing to try anything. Hey, if it works for my friend, it might work for me, too. I just didn't notice any improvement. Downward spiral I figured I must be a pussy. Because 1 in 10 people has that disease and they are not bothered by it. And I was severely bothered by it. I had constant pain in my gut. Paracetamol and ibuprofen didn't do any good.

What are the main characteristics of smart contracts ? We have answers to your questions about smart contracts. The interactions between men in society are governed by laws and norms whose non-respect is punishable. For this purpose, legal documents are established and promulgated according to the target they aim at. Contracts are a perfect example, which correspond to a written or unwritten agreement between two or more people and which creates an obligation. It involves two main parties, the debtors and the creditors. The concept has undergone adjustments over time to give more advanced versions such as the smart contract. What does a smart contract really mean? How does it work? Which advantages and disadvantages does it have? What are its applications? Get the answers to all these questions in the following. What is a smart contract? The earliest origins of the term "smart contract" can be traced back to 1994 in the writings of then cyberpunk legend Nick Szabo. A smart contract is a computer program that is irrevocable in nature and programmed to perform predefined instructions. The aim of this concept is to replace the legal guarantee of contracts by a computer code. Thus, the smart contract is an alternative to the classic paper contract. Indeed, all the steps whose validation contributes to the execution of the central project in the case of a smart contract are automatically recorded in the blockchain. This makes it possible to secure all the data to avoid possible inconveniences (deletion or modification). How does a smart contract function? In reality, the smart contract is essentially used to make the exchange... --- - Published: 2021-11-26 - Modified: 2021-11-27 - URL: https://www.juust.org/index.php/the-rise-of-decentralized-finance-defi-which-use-cases/2021/11/ - Categories: blockchain, cryptocurrency, DeFi, programming - Tags: blockchain, cryptocurrency, Decentralized Finance, DEFI DEFI is hot. What are the use cases for DEFI ? A short primer on decentralized finance. Normal 0 21 false false false FR X-NONE AR-SA "it is necessary for any bank that wants to be competitive in the future to make sure that it has the ability to interact and interoperate with DeFi systems as they emerge. This will indeed happen, but the question on everyone's mind is how and in what order. We don't know the answer to those questions. " Paul Maley CEO of Deutsche Bank While such a statement demonstrates the traditional banking industry's interest in decentralized finance (DeFi), it also perfectly illustrates the potential for innovation that this ecosystem represents. DeFi or open finance is likened to an alternative to the traditional banking and financial system developed on open and decentralized blockchain networks (such as Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Terra, Solana, Avalanche, etc. ). The goal of DeFi is to enable greater access to financial services traditionally offered by banking and financial institutions without a trusted third party. The total value locked in decentralized finance (DeFi) grew with 350% over the past year. Since the emergence of DeFi, approximately $106 billion in assets have been placed in decentralized finance protocols, of which 83 billion in 2021. Decentralized finance protocols necessarily rely on a decentralized infrastructure. Indeed, programmable blockchain networks provide a supporting role for the development of these decentralized applications (DApps).

Bitcoin fans proudly boast Bitcoin's 1 trillion dollar market cap. And a 3 trillion dollar market capitalisation for all registered coins. Impressive numbers. The market capitalisation (market cap) metric is widely used in technical analysis and on cryptocurrency news sites. It is the market's choice, you can calculate it very easily for any coin, and it often gives a good enough impression of the popularity of the coin with the overall public. The market capitalisation of a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin is calculated as the number of issued coins times the most recent average price at the exchanges. Bitcoin with 56. 000 dollars times 18 million Bitcoin, has a 1. 05 trillion market cap today. You can check a lot of the current cryptocurrrency data over at coinmarketcap. Bitcoin market cap is the total you get from multiplying the number of mined Bitcoins with the most recent average spot price on the exchanges. Juust Out Economist Market cap for size That is the idea in the market, the coin with the highest market cap is the 'biggest' coin. On the coinmarketcap site, everything is calculated compared to market cap. I never cared much about the market cap metric. I am more interested in the cashflow, and the actual invested capital of a coin. The actual invested capital is to my opinion a better indication of the size of a coin. How 'big' is Bitcoin ?

I made some money on exchange-coins, mining, anything. Beginners luck, often. I tinkered with the exchange apis, just having fun and scouting the scene. I stumbled on a shitcoin pump-and-dump group working on Bittrex. I decided to tag along. Most traders abhor pump-and-dump groups. But it is the best training ground for traders. The entire market is an endless series of bubbles, it is all basically pump-and-dump. Shitcoin pump-and-dumps are relative low risk, everyone puts 100 to 500 dollars in a fast pump, and you hope others take the bait and get FOMO and also start buying. And once the group runs out of funds, then comes the dump. I learned a lot from it. You learn to estimate the support, how long is the pump going to last, and learn not to wait too long, don't get greedy, because once the support is gone the dump comes and you end as bagholder, be very antisocial and dump on the pumpers. I am amoral. You could be my best buddy, but I am still going to dump on you. I don't cherish any sentiments when it comes to trading and making money. That is something you have to learn.

Normally I am not wild about coins with a large maximum supply (in this case 100 billion, with 17 billion in the market place) because it takes a lot of money to move the market, and you never make much money on them (like Ripple, that is endlessly stuck around 20 cents). But CRO does seem interesting. It has been bouncing between 5 and 10 cents over the past year, and is now at 10 cents. The CRO coin gives you discounted trading fees at the crypto. com exchange, that is always good. That means the coin has 'added value', so it will always retain some value and never drop to 0. Apart from that, you can stake it (180 days minimum stake), for 20% APR on a yearly basis. Added to that, the CRO-coin is one of the central trading-pair coins of crypto. com. They offer BTC, USDT and CRO trading pairs. That is good, that means the coin has an extra use. At the moment the exchange is running a number of promotions where you can buy specific coins (ADA currently and in two weeks BTC - bitcoin) for half price. That makes the coin even more attractive. In terms of risk, the resistance level seems sturdy at 5 cents, with the current price at 10 cents, that would imply a risk at a 50% loss, but... --- - Published: 2020-03-25 - Modified: 2020-03-25 - URL: https://www.juust.org/index.php/herd-immunity-is-not-going-to-work/2020/03/ - Categories: juust, trends That was part the talk of the town last week, 'herd immunity'. Most countries hit by Corona opted for a lockdown to get the Corona outbreak under control, with 'harsh' measures with a massive impact on the economy. The dutch government chose a different approach, with some 'soft' constraining measures like 'don't shake hands, wash your hands often, keep 1. 5 meters distance' and initially mentionned 'herd immunity' as part of their strategy. Later they part retracted that stating 'herd immunity' would be a side-effect of their chosen strategy. What is 'herd immunity'? The idea with 'herd immunity' is to slow the outbreak to a controlled spread, and when 50 to 60% of the people have been infected with corona, they should be immune and do not spread corona anymore. That way the immune people in time should form a protective shield for the people that are not infected and not immune, especially the elderly. One constraint is that the government do not want to overload the health care system. We have roughly 1000 intensive care beds, and that is the main constraint. That all sounds wonderful, until you do the math. Let's do the math Given the constraint that we do not overload the health care system, how long would it take before we reach 'herd immunity' ? We have over 17 million people in the Netherlands, and if 50% are to be infected, we have 8. 500. 000 infected of which 80% only have minor symptoms and 20%... --- - Published: 2019-09-15 - Modified: 2019-09-15 - URL: https://www.juust.org/index.php/5-threats-to-bitcoin/2019/09/ - Categories: bitcoin, blockchain, cryptocurrency, juust - Tags: Bitcoin, cryptocurrency Are there any actual threats to Bitcoin ? A short list with some ideas about that. I was talking to a friend, the past year, about what would be a good time to get back into the market. Bitcoin hit 3500 dollars, some miners were forced to quit, and I figured that meant 3500 dollars was the production price and hence the bottom price of Bitcoin. The bottom is always the best moment to enter the market. With the upcoming halving next year, the production price of Bitcoin is going to double as the reward is halved, so the price is going to go above 7000 dollars. A sure shot. I didn't get back into the market. For some reason I had my doubts about Bitcoin, mainly the stance of a number of governments on cryptocurrencies. Donald Trump for instance isn't very fond of cryptocurrencies : "I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air. Unregulated Crypto Assets can facilitate unlawful behavior, including drug trade and other illegal activity... . " That did make me wonder, am I just being (mildly) paranoid or are their any actual threats to Bitcoin ? I had my own ideas about that, but I also did a search on Google to see what other people think of it.

I cannot help but fantasize what would happen if the Chinese discovered Ethereum. --- - Published: 2014-04-15 - Modified: 2014-04-15 - URL: https://www.juust.org/index.php/is-evil-2/2014/04/ - Categories: juust - Tags: php I ran into a funny problem last week with a url from the api of a payment gateway that contained ... ¤cyCode=... . . I adopted an orphaned codebase and am reprogramming it as Wordpress plugin and it contains some really weird bugs. The two previous coders that worked on the codebase opted for an iframe solution through an intermediate page. Problem is SimpleXml recognizing ¤ and converting to ¤ (unicode U+000A4) with ¤cycode= as result, if you tried to relocate the page to that url the gateway rejects the url. str_replace does not recognize ¤, the solution I found is first running htmlentities that replaces ¤ with ¤ but also converts & to & which the gateway also rejects, so after using htmlentities you use str_replace to replace & with &, and then it works fine. I am open to suggestions on that one, for now, conclusion is that SimpleXML does not handle ¤ in a url correctly, you might run into the same problem with ¤t_user, ¤t_time, et cetera. --- - Published: 2013-12-19 - Modified: 2013-12-19 - URL: https://www.juust.org/index.php/accessing-the-kiva-api-with-visual-basic/2013/12/ - Categories: juust - Tags: microfinance, visual basic Kiva list a Dot Net Api class in C# so writing your own in Visual Basic is a tat obsolete were it not that I already had a complete database to process the data dump and I wanted a basic API class that only consumes XML and exposes it as a DataSet to update the main database, and add more user-oriented functionality, so I wrote a quick basic API-client.

I haven't responded to some questions yet, sorry, and to be frank I doubt I'll be having much time to dig into scripting the coming months, we'll be sailing full-time till september. Sailing season started at the end of march and we've been cruising around the lakes and islands with groups of guests. Yes, that is far better than working in finance or IT :) Yesterday we set new records with an 8bft wind in our back sailing to the islands, but for today we decided to give it a rest after two clippers collided in the harbor. Quite spectacular, the sound of 3 inch cables snapping and beams breaking. Clippers are roughly twice the size of a barge, weighing in at 150 tons and measuring 120ft. As today there is apparently a bit too much wind today even for the bigger ships to handle, we had a word with our guests and decided to stay docked for today. Sometimes a 60ft barge is really very small :) So we just hang around on one of the islands (23c sunny warm weather, wish you were here). --- - Published: 2010-07-28 - Modified: 2020-06-12 - URL: https://www.juust.org/index.php/pagerank-sculpting-session/2010/07/ - Categories: juust In the series 'how to manipulate google' : pagerank sculpting 101. If I build a site about "LCD television" and want to promote three specific brands/offers, I want Google to index the product/offer-pages as most important in the site, and not the index page. How do I achieve that ? Some basic theory : I have two rings of pages, one with four pages (B), and one with three (A), linked over one page (AB), ... . after running that through a pagerank simulation, I get these results : item importance b 0. 97 ab 1. 60 a 0. 73 ... the linking page (AB) sheds its juice to two rings, 3/5 vs 2/5, and by doing so drains the smaller ring. Being the only page that gets links and juice from all other pages, the ab-page itself scores the highest 'importance' in the website. Conclusion : adding some subpages in a smaller ring to a page makes it relatively more important in the website. item importance home, prod1, prod3 0. 97 prod2 1. 60 sub 0. 73 Let's add some more subrings : item importance I, Prod1 0. 96 Prod2, 3 1. 58 sub 0. 72 item importance home 0. 94 Prod 1,2,3 1. 56 sub 0. 72 The importance of the product pages seems to drop, but the ratio prod-n/home improves, so it works out better.

I put the text source on the server. It works, to a point. You can take a Word document, run the PostToWordpress macro (with your own blogs settings) and it puts the content in Wordpress. I haven't worked with Word for a few years, you'd have to ask someone with up-to-date Word vba skills how to grab the document title, and sanitize and format the document text into proper html-output. For the tests I grabbed a snippet off the net, it does not do a perfect job but the basic idea is kosher. metaWeblog. newPost Most sites (including blogger) have skipped from blogger. newPost to newer formats. I prefer using the metaWeblog. newPost rpc method, it is a bit more versatile, and supported by Wordpress as well. (ref. msdn library article on metaWeblog. newPost) The methodcall is structured like this : methodname : metaWeblog. newPost blogid blog user name blog password the post struct with it's members categories array description (the doc text) title date created publish (0=save as draft, 1=publish immediately) So let's build that step by step as vba routine : Sub PostToWordpress 'the basic blog settings txtURL = "http://www. blog. com/xmlrpc. php" txtBlogId = "1" txtUserName = "MyUserName" txtPassWord = "MyPassword" 'the document settings txtTitle = "MyTitle" 'note : you can use the documents creation date here txtDateCreated = Format(Now, "yyyyMMdd") & "T" & Format(Now, "hh:mm:ss") 'Categories is an array in the post, 'you can use... --- - Published: 2009-10-25 - Modified: 2020-06-12 - URL: https://www.juust.org/index.php/gone-sailing/2009/10/ - Categories: juust - Tags: sailing Went sailing today, made a vid.

This page covers most of it : dynamically add functions to php classes @ www. gen-x-design. com. The class construct at the end of the comment thread, Martin Pietschmann's contribution, is rather useful. This pattern revolves around importing functionality from pluggable classes and exposing it through one object instance (the 'decorator' pattern mentioned is mostly used for writing extended classes, different objects with the same base data and functionality, 'views' sort of). I can include the file with base, import and user class into function. php, and on making a user object have it read the directory and import functions modules (or load functionality conditional based on user role/authorization). For this example I used the wordpress options table. I write a new functions class class UserBogusPlugin extends MI_Importable { public function the_anchor { //user_url and user_nicename are exposed through the user class //I plug the functions class into, i can use the $this reference //as if i am writing code in the user class if($this->user_url'') { return ''. $this->user_nicename . ', ' . $this->first_name; } //no url, no anchor... . return $this->user_nicename; } } ... store the added class name in the options table... //load $arr from options table $modules = get_option('usermodules'); if($modules) $usermodules = json_decode($modules); //add module $usermodules = 'UserBogusPlugin'; //store back in options add_option('usermodules', json_encode($usermodules)); ... and load the plugin classes when instantiating the user object... --- - Published: 2009-07-18 - Modified: 2020-06-12 - URL: https://www.juust.org/index.php/wagner/2009/07/ - Categories: juust - Tags: juust I found a wagner drill :) I worked at a steel structure firm a few years ago. One day the drill operator went on vacation and his backup decided the last day he was also going on vacation, so there was no one to operate the drill. These things are triple axis 12 by 15 ft machines, up to 1. 5 inch diameter steel drills, 5 drills per axis, either manual or network fed nc. It handled up to 60 ft beams, but most were about 12 foot, for malls and plants. Not having a working drill meant 30 people without work and three weeks delay in delivery, that's a 100K++ loss. Sysop was part of my job, and the drill is mainly a computer so i said 'If you don't mind, I'll take the drill'. I got an hour instruction on what all the little buttons do and how the transports worked and spent two or three weeks drilling holes. That was actually fun, working in the factory for a change. --- - Published: 2009-03-25 - Modified: 2020-06-12 - URL: https://www.juust.org/index.php/curl-trackbacks/2009/03/ - Categories: php - Tags: links, php, seo tips and tricks, trackback I figure i'd blog a post on trackback linkbuilding. A trackback is ... (post a few and you'll get it). The trackback protocol isn't that interesting, but the implementation of it by blog-platforms and cms'es makes it an excellent means for network development, because it uses a simple http-post. cUrl makes that easy). To post a succesful link proposal I need some basic data : about my page url (must exist) blog owner (free) blog name (free) about the other page url (must exist) excerpt (should be proper normal text) my page : this is preferably a php routine that hacks some text, pictures and video's, PLR or articles together, with a url rewrite. I prefer using xml textfiles in stead of a database, works faster when you set stuff up. other page : don't use "I liked your article so much... ", use text that maches text on target pages, preferably get some proper excerpts from xml-feeds like blogsearch, msn and yahoo (excerpts contain the keywords I searched for, as anchor text it works better for search engine visibility and link value). Let's get some stuff from the MSN rss feed : //a generic query = 5% success //add "(powered by) wordpress" $query=urlencode('keywords+wordpress+trackback'); $xml = @simplexml_load_file("http://search. live. com/results. aspx? q=$query&count=50&first=1&format=rss"); $count=0; foreach($xml->channel->item as $i) { $count++; //the data from msn $target = (string) $i->link; $target = (string) $i->title; $target = (string) $i->description; //some variables I'll need later on $target = $count; $target = ''; $target = 0; $trackbacks=$target; }... --- - Published: 2009-03-02 - Modified: 2020-06-12 - URL: https://www.juust.org/index.php/trackbacks/2009/03/ - Categories: trends - Tags: trackback, trends Trackbacks are brilliant stuff. I programmed a trackback module into the trends script yesterday just to see what it yields. As long as you don't use it to spam and stick to common standards, it's the fastest deep link building method available. I noticed another trends script is also using trackbacks. GTrends lists an average 600 different searches per day, that makes 200K pages a year. If you put five blog excerpts with a link on a page you have 1000K backlink opportunities a year, automated, if you use trackbacks. I got 50% success rate in the first tests, so I put it on a cronjob and it seems to level out at 30% successful links. That seemed a bit much, so I checked the PingCrawl plugin Eli (bluehatseo) and joshteam put together for Wordpress. They claim a 80% success rate using Eli's result scraper, I guess 30% is not aberrant. For trends, I can't narrow my search down too much. I need the most recent blogs for the trends buzz. Too narrow searches might exclude the recent news and the script would lose it's usability. Besides, I figure 10% trackbacks would already be more than enough, a few hundred lines of code with a css template for 100K backlinks a year ain't bad. I don't actually have anything to blog about today, so that's it. ****ing brilliant, 65% trackbacks are accepted, increasing traffic, bots come crawling, finally something that works.

Expects to be called with a query param 'rss_url=http://(some rss file)' ... . * magpie_debug. php * Displays all the information available from a parsed feed. Note : magpie_debug. php is the one to watch for, you can do a google search on : site:. edu magpie_debug. php and you get a number of educational facilities that kindly demonstrate the use of the magpie rss parser. These demo pages have a textbox where you can enter an rss feed url, the magpie demo parses your feed and outputs it as an html-page. You have to be careful with these programs, though : I actually found one domain (www. scripps. edu) with this remark under the 'parse rss' button : Security Note: This is a simple example script. If this was a real script we probably wouldn't allow strangers to submit random URLs, and we certainly wouldn't simply echo anything passed in the URL.
