It has been quite the adventure and I'm just glad that we have gotten as far as we have. We're only two days away from our trip and as expected, there's a bit of jitters.
In any case, I'm really excited about the next phase and I intend to make the most of the opportunity. We'll spend the next years of our lives working to prove ourselves and I hope for the best.
Everything hasn't been sorted out and every bit of support is highly appreciated. In any case, all I have now is gratitude for everything that we have been through.

First slide:
Conversations about privacy often leads to adverse reactions from the public. People often attribute the need for privacy to nefarious activities when in reality, it is far from the case. The persistent question is, why do you want privacy so much, what do you want to hide?
The funny thing about this reaction is how hypocritical it is. First of all, privacy is a fundamental human need and it is the reason we're all wearing clothes and not walking around like animals.
On a less shallow view, privacy is something that we all desire and is evident in how we live as humans. It doesn't matter how much of a public figure you are, you don't want everyone in your business and we strive to ensure as much privacy as we can.
When it comes to our finances, it is pretty much the same. It's not a case of having anything to hide but more of a self preservatory move to keep your cards close to your chests. Why should everyone be in my business and why should everyone know the contents of my bank account? It's hardly an ideal situation and financial institutions are very aware of this, and that's why there are stringent rules put in place to ensure their customer's privacy.
Second slide Most cryptocurrency projects pride themselves in their transparency and public access networks. In fact, this is one of the selling points of most Blockchains and in an ideal world, this would be perfect. However, we don't live in an ideal world and simply having it all in the open is as dangerous as it is important.
Ironically, the bad actors often take advantage of this transparency to create phishing scams that target certain wallet addresses because it is all public. So, you see, at the end of the day, the real threat lies in the lack of privacy and not the other way around.
Third Slide This is lack of privacy prompted the creation of a number of privacy coins that achieve their underlying features through a variety of ways.
Some of the more popular privacy coins making rounds on the internet today include Zcash, Monero and Dash. For the most part, these assets focus on providing privacy for transferring and holding assets but considering where the crypto industry is right now, I feel like there's need for more.
Fourth Slide The Defi scene is a byproduct of the crypto industry. Through the use of open-source smart contracts, a variety of decentralized applications have created liquidity pools that enable crypto enthusiasts create their own unique financial ecosystem.
Just like most things in crypto, Defi is as transparent as they come, so there's public access to everything going on with the contract. This basically means that any criminal could simply query the smart contract, see the wallets involved and target any address of choice. It's far from ideal but those are the downsides.
What if there was a way to anonymously use Defi applications without fear of the underlying risk?
Fifth Slide According to the whitepaper,RAILGUN is a collection of smart contracts that verify zero-knowledge proofs, allowing users to make, send or receive transactions without revealing any assets, amounts, or identities. In much the same way, it also allows users to interact with smart contracts, such as those used for DEX trading, yield farming and other dApps (decentralisedApps). Layered on top of this on-chain system is a suite of adapters called Adapt Modules for existing applications on Ethereum, Binance smart chain and Polygon that anyone can deploy.
I'll leave a link to the whitepaper.
Interestingly, the Railgun project goes a step further and could also be used to hold your NFTs. In essence, this means that you can encrypt your digital assets on Ethereum, Binance network and Polygon from the public.
At first glance, using Railway might seem overwhelming but what you need to understand is that it is just a wallet like any other wallet. However, it is a wallet with two sides; the public address and the private address.
The public address functions of your Railway wallet functions like any other public address, so it is important you protect your keys. With this public address, you can receive tokens across Ethereum, Binance Chain and Polygon, and those assets will remain public.
Sixth Slide Now, the private address is where things start to get interesting. In your private 0ZK address, you can shield your assets, including NFTs and effectively make them invisie to the public. Now, when your asset is shielded you can use them to interact with the defi applications that have been onboarded into the Railway wallet.
To make the asset public, you simply unshield it. However, prior to unshielding, you can specify the public address you want it sent to and this way, you can send assets anonymously to any address you want. Alternatively, you can simply send it to other Railway wallet users' 0ZK address anonymously. The point is, you have complete control.
Last slide In the next video I'll do a simple tutorial showing how to shield, unshield and anonymously interact with Polygon network. Until then, if you enjoyed this little presentation, please follow us on Twitter, please share the video, and help spread the word. Thank you for watching.

I decided to use this chaotic Beach Coral blueprint of light machine gun Fox for this shipment battle and I must say, it turned out to be very fruitful.
At one point, I was on a 10 kill streak but I still managed to get to 12 thanks to the dead drop class that I often use.
I generally prefer sub machine guns but this time, I felt like trying something more chaotic. It is made a lot easier by the fact that I'm very conversant with the shipment stage and since targets are within close range, I can easily run up on them and shoot their ass like I did a couple of times in this clip.

At the end of the first season of the new reward system, I ended up with 70 chests and the quality of reward was not so bad.
All things considered, this new reward system is a lot better than the older system and I think Splinterlands is going to be one of the most addictive blockchain game around. Anyway, here's what I got at the end of the season

Venari Crystalsmith and Divine healer are two of the cheapest tank healers in the Life Splinter on Splinterlands. They are "low hanging fruits" in the healing department and I recommend you buy both of them.
Due to certain constraints, it might not be possible to get both Venrai Crystalsmith and Divine Healer into your deck. Thanks to this nifty tool called Summoner lab, you can now make a more informed decision about which one you'd like to add to your deck..

I've not been able to play any other mode since Arms Race came around. It is a big-ish map that combines battle royale and death battle pacing.
I started poorly but grew into the game and ended up getting the 'Play of the game", even though I wasn't one of the MVPs.
I hope you enjoy this video.

Today, I decided to combine my daily quest with the weekly share your battle challenge. I was able to create a video that you can watch below.
The first battle was one with the Scavo dude and it went well. Actually, it was a lot better than I anticipated.
In the video, I explained why I setup my team the way I did and I think there's a couple of things that new Splinterlands players could learn there.
I really enjoyed making this clip and I intend to continue making more of them, moving forward.

Prototype 2 follows the story of Alex Mercer, a dude that was wrongly accused of crimes that he didn't commit. Alex was a test subject of a virus that gave him all kinds of crazy powers.
The story continues from there with a different character that was also infected by the virus. After being captured by the real villains, the protagonist unfolds the truth behind what is known as the "Mercer Virus".
I got thebgame for like $9 based on some discount on the playstation store. The original price is about $16 or so.
Impression I played the game first in Playstation 3 and it is one of those games that made a strong impression.
It is an open world game where you get to do all sorts of crazy shit.
Naturally, the game dynamics is much better than what you'd find on PlayStation 3. However, it still retained most of the quirky craziness that endeared the game to me in the first place.
Think of the game as a sick and demented version of the amazing Spider-Man.
Overall, it is what I expected of the game and I look forward to exploring it a bit more.
Heres a 28 minutes recording of how the game. Have you played it before or does it look like something you'd like to try?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=belemo/oxyvagpe
I got this game from @moquero some weeks ago and I must say, it is very addictive. Tom Clancy's the Division was developed by Ubisoft many years ago but it's still pretty
The plot is setup in a post apocalyptic scenario in New York. Some virus ravaged the city and turned everything on its ass.
The Division is an elite unit of individuals that are in the society. They have "normal" lives but in the event if some crazy occurrence, like a crazy virus killing millions, they are activated to keep the peace.
Gameplay Gameplay is kind of repetitive but aren't they all. It's a third person shooter type stuff with players moving like they're soldiers.
At the beginning, you customise your character and along the way, you can make some tweaks in hairstyle, clothes and stuff like that.
You also get to explore the city, shoot up bad guys and bring some sanity to the city. You do missions, upgrade your gear and generally just be a badass.
The city is split up into different zones and the bad guys you meet in them are in different levels. As your level increases, you get to explore more parts of the city.
You can also decide to explore the city with other players that you meet in the game. There are safe houses that are basically meeting point for players to link up and make upgrades as well.
Opinion Warning: be very careful if you to intend to start this game because it will take over your life.
It is a fun and simple game to play, especially if you enjoy shoot em up games.
The only downside is that it is 100% online, so if you're living somewhere with crappy internet, you might experience lagging and shit, like I did.
Overall though, it's a fun game that I reccomend.

In this part of the game, you'll use three different players to navigate the game.
The switch between the characters was silky smooth and I loved it.

multiplayer mode is the reason I decided to get Vanguard and so far so good, it hasnt disappointed.
One mode I really enjoy is Shipmas because it is a battle stage that I know around.
Here's a video of one of my numerous battles.
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=belemo/sserswpo
So after doing my PlayStation plus subscription that I honestly did just so I can enjoy multiplayer mode in COD, I decided to check out the free games that I get for doing the subscription.
Every month PS plus subscribers get three free games and I decided to check one of them out. The one I picked is Godfall:Challenger Edition.
I have read some rumours about how the free games you get on the PS plus subscription are usually ass. Well, I figured I'd try one out for myself to know if it's true.
Impression The game felt a little bit too raw for my liking. It felt like I was playing something that I could easily play on my Android phone.
I felt like the game dynamics was a little bit too reminiscent of what I've seen in God if war. Well, a watered down version of God if war, of course.
There's so much that could be done with the graphics but considering it's a $14 game, I guess we could say it's value for money.
The story telling also feels a bit off. Unlike Ghost of Tsushima and God of war where you instantly feel connected to the journey of the main character, this one just seems a bit bleh.
From the beginning, you're just plunged into a mystical world with no background knowledge of how things got here. I guess because this is the challenger edition and the other version tells a better story? Who knows.
Overall, I can't complain because it's a free game. However, I don't think this is a game I'm going to get hooked on.
I'll play it from time to time but I reckon it'll take a really long time before I finish it.
If you have a Playstation Plus subscription, then you should add it to your library. However, if you don't, I don't recommend you buy it.

When I decided to get COD Vanguard, my plan was just to enjoy the multiplayer mode. I had seen a lot of videos online and some from @daltono that made me very interested in the game.
Anyway, before going into the multiplayer mode, I decided to give the campaign a shot. The plan was that I'd be able gather some XP and stuff like that for multiplayer mode.
I honestly didn't even know there's was such an elaborate campaign mode. I must say, it was highly entertaining.
My favourite part was the flashbacks that were used to highlight the level of badassery that each character imprisoned by the Nazi villain.
It is a game that I'm absolutely loving and I highly recommend.
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=belemo/jbxahmxr
Here's a videos of me opening 59 Chaos Legion packs.
I picked up some awesome monsters, including a gold foil legendary and epic card.
I'd probably sell one of them if the opportunity presents itself.
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=belemo/rxqogbkw
Somewhere in my mind, I always knew that this battle would happen. I really didn't want it but looking at how things went with Jin, I saw it coming.
I know it's a video game but I got very emotional and a part of me didn't want to even play it.
I ended up besting Lord Shimura, who has pretty much raised Jin through out his life but I couldn't bring myself to kill him. Again, I know it's a game but I honestly don't think I'll ever be able to pick the mode where I kill Shimura.
This is the most emotional battle of the lot and easily tops the emotions I had when I had to kill Ryuzo. Ryuzo wasn't easy on my hear t by the way because my dude pleaded for his life and even offered to rejoin Tsushima's team
At the end of the day, it was an amazing experience and I don't even know how I'm going to proceed from here because I don't know how I'm going to play a game that's as awesome as this one.
I highly reccomend Ghost of Tsushima, if you've not played it. Once again, thank you @daltono, this was an amazing experience.
The next step is to download the direcotr's cut and explore Iki Island, but that's only going to be when internet is better here to download the update and also when I've completed everything in this game.
I also can't play Legends mode because of the crappy internet, so there's still more to come.
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=belemo/sqxfzlyp
Thank you @daltono for telling me about this game. It is easily the best game I've played on Playstation 4 so far.
In this clip, I battle one of Ryuzo's men trying to claim the bounty on my head.
If you recall, Ryuzo betrayed us and joined the Mongols. In the process, he became an enemy and now I have to kill straw hats and Mongols alike.
It was such an intnse battle, with the opponent showing some level of admiration for Jin Sakai and even admiting that it was nothing personal.

I was watching a video by @the-bitcoin-dood where he was talking about cameras and it had me thinking about cameras for myself.
I am very dissatisfied with my laptop's webcam, so I was also considering buying a Webcam. However, I'm not in the position to spend anywhere between $150-200 on a webcam.
So I figured that with all the technological advancements happening in the world, there has to be a way to connect my phone camera to my laptop.
My hunch was correct and after doing a little search, I ran into this nifty tool that enables you to use your phone as a webcam.
Requirements: * Wifi Network * Android Phone * Windows PC/ * Be sexy
Steps * Download PC app here * Download mobile app on playstore * Connect * Open app on both devices * Manually copy and paste the IP address generated from the Droidcam app in your phone to the Droidcam app in your laptop
- Click start on your PC/laptop Droidcam app to use your phone as a webcam.
That's just about it really. Now you can just use your phone as a webcam. So Skype, Zoom and other Webcam stuff don't have be lame anymore because of your PC's shitty web cam.
Also, you don't have to spend that extra money on purchasing a webcam, especially if you're just more about recording your face and every day stuff.

After waiting for two weeks and one failed transaction in between, I finally got my headphones. It's an experience that I've been craving for quite some time now, so getting it is super exciting.
I got the headphones for about 70, 000 Naira and that's like $120 in today's exchange rate. However, the word on the streets of the internet is that it trades for about $100 on most markets.
These sorts of gadgets aren't commonplace around here, so we generally pay a little bit extra to get them.
First impression Well, for one, it looks exactly how I expected it to look. I've seen a lot of cool video clips by @daltono and since he always wears them, I already knew what to expect.
It basically comes with three main accessories;
- A Type C USB charger
- An audio jack for wired use
- A Bluetooth dongle for wireless use.
Does it work on a PlayStation 4? Yes it works on a PlayStation 4 and I'm not just saying this because it worked on my game, it's clearly written on the box.
I had zero stress using it. All I did was plug in the dongle and started using it immediately.
Totally an upgrade It's such a relief to finally have quality headphones for gaming. My previous headphones made an annoying buzzing sound in the background of my recordings.
With this one, I get crystal clear sound and noise cancellation. In this video, you can't even hear the sound of a standing fan that's literally right beside me blowing. It'spretty awesome.
There's a lot of reviews about it and many people saying that it's kind of expensive and the mic doesn't work well but I don't know, it seems pretty efficient to me.
The absence of a dedicated microphone hanging out of your mouth is an added bonus to me. I find that mic thing to be distracting.
I've not used in on a chat yet, so I don't know how that will sound like. However, based on this recording, I reckon it'll work well.
I read it also works on PCs as well, in case you're into PC gaming. I plugged the Bluetooth dongle into my Laptop and it worked exactly as the PS4. You can also use the wired connection if you prefer that approach.
If you're looking for a headset for gaming that gives you solid sound quality that will enhance your gaming experience, then I suggest you Sony Pulse 3D headphone.

I've had a lot of school experiences but I reckon the most outstanding of the lot is the first time a gun was pointed at me.
It's a weird story, especially when you consider the circumstance behind it but I survived.
