Elon Musk shares Super Important Proposal about how Dogecoin can grow

The billionaire, Founder - CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk opens up on how Dogecoin can grow and become a viable source of payment for the consumers - the general public. 

We already know from the past that Elon Musk has a great interest in Dogecoin and other cryptocurrencies. His tweets are known to create volatility in the cryptocurrencies market. His new take on the Dogecoin use states that it is important for the Dogecoin fees to fall for it to become more widely used in retail while responding to a tweet by Dogecoin co-creator Billy Markus who tweets with the handle Shibetoshi Nakamaoto. 

 Markus took to the microblogging site, responding to Chief Executive of U.S. cinema chain AMC, Adam Aron tweet.  Markus tweets - , "Robinhood announcing wallets, AMC CEO not only talking about accepting dogecoin but saying it was the single most interacted with tweet he has ever made, the crypto market finally seeing some green."  And shortly, Musk responded, "Super important for Doge fees to drop to make things like buying movie tix viable."

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 22, 2021 AMC CEO Adam polls over accepting Dogecoin 

AMC Entertainment Holdings is  the largest movie exhibition company in the US, Europe, and the world. AMC CEO  has earlier announced that they will accept Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, and Ether for payments. CEO Adam Aron set up a poll on Twitter to ask the crypto community if his company should also accept the popular meme cryptocurrency dogecoin (DOGE).

I never thought I would see this day. @ElonMusk liked my Dogecoin Twitter Poll tweet. If you happen to see this tweet too Mr. Musk, congratulations on Tesla and SpaceX. I have strived to be an innovator my entire career, but you sir are the epitome of innovation above all others. pic.twitter.com/rIW6OpOnYL

— Adam Aron (@CEOAdam) September 22, 2021

“I sincerely want to hear your opinion, via this Twitter Poll. By year-end 2021, AMC will take Bitcoin, Etherum, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash for online payments. I hear from many on my Twitter feed that we should accept Dogecoin too. Do you think AMC should explore accepting Dogecoin?"Adam Aron said in a tweet, which was liked by Musk.  And commenting on Musk's reaction to the tweet, Aron wrote, "I never thought I would see this day. @ElonMusk liked my Dogecoin Twitter Poll tweet. If you happen to see this tweet too Mr. Musk, congratulations on Tesla and SpaceX. I have strived to be an innovator my entire career, but you sir are the epitome of innovation above all others," he said in another tweet."

According to the poll results, 68% of the 140,388 voters said, “Yes, for sure do it." A further 9% supported the addition of dogecoin as a payment method but said they “won’t use it." Only 23% said “no" to the company accepting DOGE. The AMC CEO was overwhelmed by the results and enthusiasm of the dogecoin community.

Meanwhile, dogecoin rose 8% to $0.22, as per CoinDesk. Earlier in May, Dogecoin rallied after Musk announced that he is working to improve system transaction efficiency. On the other hand, Bitcoin had slumped after the Tesla chief tweeted that his car making company has decided not to accept payments in BTC

High Transaction Cost  

This tweet has come from Musk despite Dogecoin having  low transaction cost as compared to other cryptocurrencies. Dogecoin has an average transaction cost of USD 0.593 against USD 46.31 of Etherum and  USD 2.156 of Bitcoin. These transaction costs are still on a much higher side for retail transactions as, according to the reports, the average value of a transaction is USD 53.98 for a SMB retailer which reduced to USD 22.88 for a food retailer. The lower cost of transaction will help in greater adoption of cryptocurrencies. A responsive graph shows us the difference between the transaction costs of three different cryptocurrencies.

Texting Friends Just Got Easier with BSNLs Reduced SMS Tarffis

Bharat Sancham Nigam Limited (BSNL) has now slashed SMS rates by 66.67% for the existing BSNL eSIM customers. There are different reductions that will apply to on-net and off-net SMSs that go beyond the subscription plan. The company has now changed the SMS base tariff to 5 paise per SMS for on-net SMS and 10 paise per SMSs sent from your BSNL network to another network. What this basically means is that after you’ve used up the SMS freebies in the subscribed eSIM or M2M plan, you need to pay 5 paise or 10 paise per SMS for on-net and off-net messages respectively.

“In the M2M tariff, different plans are designed where a limited data and limited number of free on-net SMS are provided. The tariff for on-net (after free SMS limit) and off-net SMS was 15 Paise per SMS. It was conveyed by some field units that this SMS tariff becomes very high when there is a requirement of fallback to SMS in areas of no data connectivity. To cater to this requirement, different Add-on On-Net SMS Packs have been introduced and tariff for On-Net SMS beyond the Plan/Package rate and Off-Net SMS has been revised,” the telco in an official statement noted.

Other BSNL SMS packages and rates

BSNL now also offers three other add-on SMS packs priced at Rs 12, Rs 20 and Rs 25. These packages offer a total of 500, 1000 and 2000 on-net SMSes respectively. Additionally, BSNL also slashed its tariff for their Bulk Push SMS Service. In view of TRAI’s newest guidelines, the company has also done-away with the deposits that customers had to first pay in order to use these services. The BSNL Web Portal can also be used by enterprises to send Bulk Push SMSs for promotional or transactional messages.

Ola Electric Scooters: You Can Now See Their Estimated Delivery on the Ola App

Launched in August this year, Ola Electric Scooters sold out shortly after being made available, clocking sales worth over 1,100 Crore. It’s clear that many Indians want to adopt a greener lifestyle, and an affordable offering within the clean tech space is certainly a great way to meet that need. To reassure customers of their purchase, Ola now lets buyers see the delivery status of their Ola bikes right on the Ola App itself. As the pandemic saw fewer people relying on on-demand cab services, this is a move that should help re-integrate the app and its usage into our lives once more.

What is the expected date of delivery for Ola Scooters?

Ola claims that all deliveries will happen in October itself, with the next round of sales opening on 1st November. This should give most green tech enthusiasts enough time to gauge the scooter’s performance and make purchase decisions accordingly. 

The estimated delivery dates for individual orders are listed on the Ola app for customers to see. 

 

Ola Electric Scooters: What do we know?

Ola offered its first two offerings, S1 and S1 Pro earlier this year, with the former priced at Rs 85,099 - 1.10 Lakh, and the latter being priced at Rs 1,29,999. The vanilla Ola S1 model is priced Rs 30,000 higher than most scooters available in the market, but this vehicle offers a range of features like a large screen interface, short charging time (claimed to be just over four hours), remote boot opening, proximity lock/unlock, navigation and more. The Ola S1 Pro, on the other hand, has all this and also features a voice assistant, hill mode and cruise control.

Widespread adoption of electric scooters, coupled with the government’s target to replace all buses with electric ones by 2025, should help cut down on the pollution levels in India.

Twitter: Bunch of privacy and other updates, working on NFT and Crypto Integration

The micro-blogging giant, Twitter has announced the  release of some new exciting features to its platform in the next few months. The company has said that it will soon support NFT authentication for creators. Artists and creators will be able to connect their crypto wallets and take payments from other users directly. The most awaited update is the Tips Feature. The company tested the Tips feature in the US, where the users could tip others not only using real currencies, but also using cryptocurrencies. The company is also preparing its own creator fund to provide audio creators with financial, technical and marketing support. 

Twitter Tips: Tip others in Crypto

Twitter earlier in May had rolled out its Tips in the US for a few users for testing purposes, and soon is rolling it out worldwide on Android and iOS. Tips uses the help of third party apps such as Razorpay to tip the creators off on Twitter. Initially called Tips Jar, it is now available globally as Tips. The users will now be able to Tip others using the Digital currencies and also using Bitcoin. The payment service is based on the Bitcoin  Lightning Network based application - Strike. Strike is available to people in El Salvador and the US (excluding Hawaii and New York). Users for receiving Bitcoins need to have a Strike account but other Twitter users will be able to use any Bitcoin Lightning wallet to send tips to someone’s Strike account. This feature is being rolled out to iOS and Android users will get it over the coming weeks.

Also, Twitter said that it is adding more supported third-party platforms to process the tipping feature. The company has added support for GoFundMe and PicPay, which join Bandcamp, Cash App, Chipper, Patreon, Razorpay, Wealthsimple Cash, and Venmo. Twitter is also planning to add support for authenticating NFTs (non-fungible tokens) by letting people connect their crypto wallets. By connecting the wallets, they will be able to track and showcase their NFTs on the platform. The NFT authentication functionality will be available in the form of a badge that is shown on users' profile pictures, which in turn would mark the owner’s NFT as authentic. This feature of NFT Authentication is still in development and the company is trying to figure out different ways of deploying it.  The Super Follows feature which provides Subscription based content is also ready to be rolled up all over the globe.

Twitter Expands its Space Platform

Twitter had recently launched its in-app voice based social network platform, the Spaces, and is also bringing new updates to that. The company is working on improving the discovery of ongoing Spaces conversations. With the launch of Ticketed Space, where an entry ticket is required, the monetisation from these Spaces will help the Creator and they can set the prices and audience sizes.  

The hosts of the Spaces will now be able to record and even replay their programs. This feature is set to launch in the coming few months. 

The company is also testing a new feature known as “Communities”- a feature similar to Facebook Groups, wherein people with similar interests can join and interact. This feature is still in its testing phase. 

Twitter’s new Features for improved protection of user’s privacy 

Twitter announced a host of new features that are aimed at making the platform safer for its users. 

Twitter had launched a new feature called “Safety Mode”, earlier this year, and is now in the testing phase in the beta mode, with a small group on iOS, Android, and Twitter.com. It started with the accounts that have English-language settings enabled. The Safety Mode offers an automated level of protection against online harassment and cyberbullying on the platform. People can quietly remove followers. 

Further, Twitter said it is experimenting with a feature to give people a “heads up" when they are about to join a heated discussion on Spaces. This will give users a context about the “conversation vibe" before they join the room.

Recently, Twitter has also started labelling bot accounts clearly. According to sources, the company said it will start labelling more accounts, based on their type including businesses, brands and memorialized accounts.

For users who are frequently involved in the platform and interact a lot, as mentioned by others in their tweets, Twitter will be adding a feature that allows users to remove themselves from such conversations. 

Lastly, Word filters will allow users to filter out “unwanted speech" and bad words in their replies. Users will be able to choose specific words and emojis, which will be blocked on their replies. The feature is still in the concept phase right now and the company will provide more updates at appropriate time.
