Moonly weekly progress update #65 - Karamendos WL Flow

Little Feather — Fri, 06 Oct 2023 10:19:22 GMT

I was also working with Automatio, our father project that funded Moonly pre-mint and even now. Keep in mind that since Moonly doesn't produce any revenue for a long time (except royalties that ended up last year for us), Automatio is the project that funds us now. And a bit of money from our pockets.

Also, keep in mind, that in a couple of months, actually November, it will be 2 years for how long we are working on Moonly.

Karamendos is important because it's gonna accelerate the project that is already built, has users, making money, and has huge potential. It will keep us alive, while Moonly grows the user base, clients, and projects using our tools, and when the bull run hits, we will be ready for it.

I mentioned before, that Moonly holders will benefit from the Karamendos in multiple ways, and one will be the airdrop

Moonly weekly progress update #64 - Announcement Catcher and Staking V2

Little Feather — Fri, 22 Sep 2023 10:00:02 GMT

Summer is always slow for business for both the NFT ecosystem and regular business, so I decided to take a break from Discord and Twitter for a while. However, I still needed to be present in our development server, with a core team. I know, it looked pretty dead here, especially when the founder itself is not active, but sometimes just get lost, and let everything go.

Also, keep in mind, that in a couple of months, actually November, it will be 2 years for how long we are working on Moonly.

I mentioned before, that Moonly holders will benefit from the Karamendos in multiple ways, and one will be the airdrop. I will write about this in detail in the next announcement.

Added new feature Announcement Catcher, that will automatically pick up new announcements and display them on the Moonly website, under the proper NFT collection. This will give more exposure to the projects in the future. 98% work is done, we just need to display the data on the website itself.

Probably around 80% of work is done for Staking V2. To remind you, Staking v2, will be far more flexible with its missions, multiple rewards, integration with our Raffle platform, etc. I am excited about it honestly.

You Can now Sell Your Crypto for Fiat on MetaMask

Idowu Omisola — Wed, 06 Sep 2023 15:47:35 GMT

In MetaMask's recent update, you can now sell your crypto for fiat directly on the app and cash out as soon as you want. While you could previously buy crypto instantly via your MetaMask wallet, selling crypto was impossible. This new update eliminates the need to send your crypto to exchanges like Binance or Coinbase before you can sell it. The "Sell" feature "allows you to cash out your crypto for fiat currency easily," says MetaMask's Twitter (X) handler.

We are beyond thrilled to announce our latest feature: Sell.

Yes, you read that right. Available on MetaMask Portfolio, ‘Sell’ allows you to cash out your crypto for fiat currency easily.

🔗 Discover more at https://t.co/aaSgTswEMo pic.twitter.com/pJa1ZndLQA
— MetaMask 🦊💙 (@MetaMask) September 5, 2023

The update enables you to swap your cryptocurrency for fiat without intermediaries. Although this is not a regular peer-to-peer transaction, MetaMask allows you to patronize many of its vetted partners. Thus, the "Sell" feature is a transparent feature that involves converting your crypto into the fiat equivalence, which you'll see instantly before selling.

You can switch to another if one partner does not work for you. Most of these partners are already in the "Buy" flow. So you will already be familiar with most if you buy via MetaMask. When you sell your crypto via MetaMask, you can send its fiat equivalent straight into your bank account or add it to your PayPal balance.

Can You Sell Your Crypto Directly on MetaMask?

At the time of writing, MetaMask's "Sell" feature is only available in the UK, parts of Europe, and the US (with state restrictions). But the firm says there are "plans to expand to more regions to cater to our worldwide community." You might want to wait for this feature to be available in your region.

What Crypto Can You Sell on MetaMask?

You can only sell Ethereum directly via the MetaMask wallet as of writing. "We’re initially supporting ETH on Ethereum Mainnet, with plans to expand to native gas tokens on layer 2 networks soon and fiat currency USD, EUR, and GBP," says the firm via its blog.

How Can You Sell Your Crypto on MetaMask?

Selling your Ethereum on MetaMask is as straightforward as buying crypto. Hop into your Wallet and ensure you switch accounts to the Ethereum mainnet. You'll click the Sell tab if available and select your region. Then select the token you want to sell—this might be Ethereum by default.

The next step is to select the fiat destination; this is your bank account or PayPal. Enter the crypto amount in the provided field. Then click one of the listed providers. Different providers have different quotes—you want to pick the one that works best for you. Once redirected to the provider's website, follow the onscreen instructions to conclude your transaction.

Moonly weekly progress update #61 - Automatio FAQ/2

Little Feather — Fri, 18 Aug 2023 17:23:37 GMT

Where is the extracted data stored?

The extracted data can be viewed within the Automatio dashboard and is stored on a dedicated cloud server. It is available in various file formats (such as CSV, JSON, RSS and API) allowing for immediate access and use.

Can Automatio automate repetitive tasks?

Yes, Automatio features a "looping system" that allows actions to automatically repeat within the parameters defined by the user. This feature simplifies and automates repetitive tasks.

How are the actions performed within Automatio priced?

Each action performed with the Automatio bot requires credits, with some actions consuming more credits than others. Packages containing different credit amounts can be purchased on a monthly or yearly basis. Credits can also be directly purchased from the Automatio website.

PayPal Launches Dollar-Backed Stablecoin

Moonly — Tue, 08 Aug 2023 21:04:23 GMT

The leading trans-border payment service, PayPal, has revealed through its X (formerly Twitter) handle that it is launching a stablecoin called PayPal USD or PYUSD backed by a liquid asset. This makes it the first payment platform to adopt cryptocurrency transactions, raising its shares by 2.66% on August 7, 2023. According to the firm, there is one dollar reserve for every available PYUSD. Thus, 1$PYUSD is equivalent to $1.

Today, we’re unveiling a new stablecoin, PayPal USD (PYUSD). It’s designed for payments and is backed by highly liquid and secure assets. Starting today and rolling out in the next few weeks, you’ll be able to buy, sell, hold and transfer PYUSD. Learn more https://t.co/53RRBhmNHx pic.twitter.com/53ur2KmjU7
— PayPal (@PayPal) August 7, 2023

Starting with customers in the US, PayPal's crypto support for transactions rolled out on August 7, 2023, and will extend to more regions with time. Like its fiat counterpart, PayPal says you will be able to buy, sell, hold, and transfer PYUSD on its app or website through the web. PayPal is not alone in the new deal, it partnered with Paxos, a leading blockchain and digital asset solutions company.

Paxos 🤝 PayPal

Thrilled to be partnering with @PayPal to bring PYUSD, the world’s safest dollar-backed digital asset, to hundreds of millions of consumers and merchants worldwide.

PYUSD is the first of its kind, representing the next phase of US dollars on the blockchain. This…
— Paxos (@Paxos) August 7, 2023

PayPal's transaction fee is typically high due in part to operation expenses and majorly because it's a profit-driven company. But there will be a turnaround with the introduction of cryptocurrency. Besides being transferrable to an Ethereum wallet, PayPal says transactions involving $PYUSD are free except for gas fees that may apply.

While PayPal's fiat transactions may be high, the crypto introduction allows you to explore the different ways to withdraw or receive money or buy goods through PayPal. For instance, if you prefer to transact in crypto, you can purchase PayPal-supported cryptocurrencies using the USD in your account and get its crypto equivalent instantly.

PayPal's Crypto Adoption May Raise Eyeballs

It's not surprising that PayPal has fully adopted cryptocurrency. In 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the company began to allow users to purchase, sell, and hold a variety of cryptocurrencies. Despite this, they did not introduce their own cryptocurrency until August 7. This recent move provides a glimmer of hope for the struggling cryptocurrency market in light of strict sanctions and preemptive regulations.

Notwithstanding, PayPal might be drawing attention from regulatory bodies, including the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Federal Reserve, which have been deeply engaged with crypto firms on matters related to cryptocurrency regulations. However, the committee's Republican chair, Representative Patrick McHenry, says that if properly regulated, PayPal's crypto adoption is promising for the 21st-century payment system.

Moonly weekly progress update #60 - Automatio FAQ

Little Feather — Mon, 07 Aug 2023 16:46:18 GMT

Why was Automatio created?
Automatio was created to solve some of the problems its creator, Stefan Smiljkovic, faced when coding. The aim of Automatio was to streamline and automate repetitive coding tasks in order to save time and facilitate the completion of other tasks whilst eliminating the need to endure the process of hiring developers to carry out the necessary work.

Do I need coding knowledge to use Automatio effectively?
No, Automatio does not require any prior coding knowledge. The actions performed by the automation bot are controlled through a series of prompts, making it accessible to users without coding expertise.

How does the browser extension of Automatio work?
The browser extension contains a pre-built “actions” that, once it’s built, can execute specified tasks on any website without additional user input. The bot operates in the background and doesn't need to remain open during the processes.
