Hey guys shape our 1,000 here today. I want to show you how To put this accordion style door Back up on this closet keeps wanting to fall off somebody's going to get hurt and There's one reason right there So stay tuned. Let's see if we can fix this for monkey. Okay guys. Okay guys. Here's one issue right here See this thing right here Get a different angle. This is supposed to be straight across here. It keeps bending down Okay, so When that happens these are adjustable Okay, when that happens it's letting The piece that goes in here it goes inside here. It's letting that pop out. You know Let them pop out like that so and when it does that Makes this loose And as you can see it split up through there. All right So what we're going to have to do is try to tighten this up Okay now You can try to just glue that in there, but I don't know how well that would work The right way is to get a dowel rod a wooden dowel rod Glue it in there and re-drill it now. I don't have a wooden dowel rod, but I've got this Little paintbrush that I have used so it's all real hard and brittle there now I didn't throw it away. I've got a couple of these and I didn't throw it away for this reason See that but see this does not quite fit. I have another one. That's a little bit too small So what what I'm going to do is I'm going to go ahead and drill this out a little bit more Okay, and I'm going to try to get some glue up into this crack You know, I'm going to try to spread it a little bit and get some glue up in this crack And I'll stick this up in there cut it off and Then re-drill it with the right size drill bit because see it should actually fit snug Like that see how snug that is right there Well now again It's just I don't trust it and then we'll work on the part that's down there on the floor That this goes into and I like I said, I don't know why it keeps bending, but I've got a quick fix for that. So All right, let me get you set up in the stand and we'll get started on this. Let's drill this out. I Don't I'm not quite need one size Bigger bit, but I'm gonna try to kind of Of course, if you have a right size drill bit it'd be much nicer. Okay, there we go. There we go. All right So let's try I'm gonna spread that open a little bit like that. I'm just using some Monkey glue there real glue. I'm gonna spread that open and Close cap when you see it squeeze out like that. You know, you've got enough in there Now let's glue this in there And it's gonna take take a bit of glue. This is the right way to do it. So Well kind of if you got the right drill bit, it's the right way to do it I want to make sure That hole is all filled up. Now you don't have to go in Super far because this only goes in so far this way Okay What you can do Is you can take one of your deals and measure it just like that, you know about how far to go in That's kind of what I did there. So I'm gonna make sure I got Plenty This wood glue in here cuz I don't want this happening again Now I'm gonna go around here and put some more and then what we'll do is we're gonna let this set up for a while And if you have the problem This is the bottom if you have a problem with the top go ahead and do the same thing to the top I won't hurt it, but the top I did check on this one and It's snug. So it's the top is good to go. All right Now this don't have to be perfect as it is directly on bottom. You'll never see it Okay, but if you want to sand it go right ahead as you can see someone didn't paint this But that's okay because you can't see it which I never know until the door came off So and this one won't be used because there's not a track on the bottom But they they're drilled like that in case you you know want to flip them or whatever now I couldn't just flip this one and use the good ones because It's one two panels one and a half panels up on top and one down on the bottom So it wouldn't match the other side. It would have worked, but I mean worst-case scenario. Yeah, you can do that but I figure Let's go ahead and do it this way Now I'm gonna let this glue dry up Okay, and I'll get back with you as soon as it's dry Stay nice and snug Now let's get ready to put it back up on the door Okay, now we've got a straighten this thing.  I went ahead and tighten them now This has to kind of slide back and forth. That's when it closes up against each other slides back and It puts pressure on against the doors so they stay closed So we're gonna try to bend that up. There's a spring right here. You have to watch it spring And make sure it doesn't pop out on you. I'm just using this cigarette pack to keep from damaging the floor And I'm gonna pull this up It's like that Make sure it's straight Make sure that spring Is down in there or it should be should be down a little bit more than that. It shouldn't be up on that screw There we go. Now it should move back and forth. Okay. See that? All right now Yeah, okay Let's move this up a little bit Okay, what I've done So I've cut me a little piece of wood that kind of matches up to that And I come out a little bit because there's a hole right there That I'm gonna drill I'm gonna put a screw in it. I know this is not a wood screw but It's just just gonna keep this from sliding out all the times Now this is really hard wood. It's tiger wood. I think it may be cherry, but I was told it was tiger wood But it looks like cherry to me. So I'm gonna use This to screw it in so I don't split the wood Now there's that Let's get the door on. Okay. There it is Shuts up nice. This one's adjusted pretty good The other one's down just a smidgen So I may have to adjust that a little bit but This one on this side is working fine so Little bit adjustment on that one and I think we'll be good guys So it's kind of a half-hearted quick way to do it The right thing would be to buy new hardware if you can get the hardware Put it on there instead of putting that block of wood under there But it's not that noticeable So I mean the other side might maybe a little loose But I'm gonna check that out and see and just make sure but that's kind of how you do something like that. So Just a quick fix to go one in the closet. I got to do It's not quite the same problem. The problem is the L bracket That screws up to the door jam is actually pulled out so I don't know if they had the wrong screws in it, so I'm gonna put more screws in it and We'll go from there, but I'll show you what it's doing I'm gonna get a light on here for you. Okay, see it doesn't It doesn't want to close all the way And that's because the bottom down here So if I can zoom in on that Has pulled out see that so I don't know I don't know what's going on there So I'm not sure if that's gonna be an easy fix or if I'm gonna have to You know once I get them screws out of there you know reposition the holes or You know fill it in with wood putty and try something like that or just drill it out and put another dowel in it Like I did on the door side in there in the bedroom. So anyway guys, that's pretty much it So at least it's not gonna fall down anymore. I've seen it almost fall on her Because it had been down one time. I've been it back up and I thought okay a fluke thing There wasn't a fluke thing. It just kept mending down. It's gotten weak. So but it is working properly now I just want to make sure she stays safe. So She'll be safe now. It's good to go.  So That I'm gonna go ahead and sign off say she barely met the man a legend. I'm gone for now. Bye. Bye guys


What's good charge Bulldogs back again with another video. So we're gonna check out 10 weirdest things WWE wrestlers did before their matches Thumbnail alone is already kind of wild man It'll be interesting to know that Rikishi was out there using the restroom before His matches man, you know, sometimes you got to let it out before you go out there and beat somebody's ass So that that would be interesting if that's on this list We're gonna check out some of these moments where you know wrestlers did some interesting things before they had their matches Man shout out to tap out corner. Make sure you go subscribe to him been subscribed to him one for a while original video Will be down below in the description. Let's check out see what's going on here One of the most disgusting pre-match rituals of all time before the big man went out to the ring Rikishi would go to the bathroom and get out all of his flatulence before his match Wow Oh Rikishi did this. Oh, he was he was serious. Oh, well, there we go Damn, he wouldn't accidentally fart on his opponents when he gave a stink face Whoa, however, this pre-match ritual didn't always work out as visit man learned the hard way Rikishi's pre-match ritual makes sense, but the Hurricanes is kind of weird when you first hear it So he just releases the toxic fumes into your face now you got pink after the rest of the week The former KT champion always ate two Reese's peanut butter cups before every match No, it wasn't because he wanted to eat something sweet Hurricanes said he saw Lex Luger eating the candy once before a photo shoot According to Lex the little sugar helped his veins pop out Hurricanes thought so too and adopted it as his pre-match Before Something for the referee. What was it a cell phone? Why exactly did flair do this in case any women try to call the nature boy during the match? Like a customer support center calls from female fans really very important to flair if you've ever Flair he had the ultimate reason wrestling bro. He had the ultimate reason in wrestling. Hey, man Rick flair. He probably got some stories And we're gonna leave it at that Besides giving yourself a unique look there was actually a reason why AJ did this Concentrating on cutting your shirt allowed AJ to relax and clear her mind before locking up in the ring Person the Bella twins pre-match ritual was the complete opposite and 100% before a match Nikki and Brie would kiss each other on the cheeks and also spank one another Come on. That's one ritual. We all wish we could have seen That's a ritual definitely a lot of y'all would have paid good money just to see it Just just to fantasize just to watch it. You probably would have tried to join in too What Sasha Banks did as her pre-match ritual is way different But it has some serious meaning the saying goes put yourself in someone else's shoes Well Sasha took that kind of literally the boss revealed that before having an important match She would wear her opponent's t-shirt the reason banks did this was to keep yourself focused on what she was about to do and the person She's about to wrestle with maybe you don't get Sasha Banks's ritual That's gonna definitely agree. I just yonka Belair does before a big match The EST of WWE will eat pizza Belair shared in an interview for the night before the 2021 row rumble She ate pizza while sewing her gear athletes usually have their cheat mail after the event But Bianca does it before to help her relax She didn't win the rumble, so I guess it worked Goldberg Imagine a yo give me that That large pizza with everything on it man all the toppings give it to me.  They gave himself a concussion at from slamming into the door Thankfully, he wasn't about to compete in a first blood match After this incident Goldberg decided to leave the doors and walls alone and retired from his pre-match ritual Yeah, what would John Cena always do before a match? Well, he would eat Goldberg was Super intense. He was just all about intensity and explosion power Yeah, man, I don't know how many concussions. He probably got from just Just headbutting the door or wherever before he goes out to his match Tic-tacs the reason was that his breath went smell bad when he got into close contact with his opponent Which is this pre-match ritual is kind of creepy and I'll explain why so before dealer Brown had a match He will a small piece of tape and put it in his sock. Okay, that's unusual But here's what makes it so eerie on October 5th 1989 Brown had a match against a wrestler named draws for whatever reason dealer broke his ritual and did place the tape In his sock that night later on Brown went out for his match and everything seemed normal at first He went for a signature ring powerbomb But something went wrong and draws landed on his head the impact fracture to vertebrates and draws his neck Oh, yeah, the footage of the instant does exist. Yeah Babe, I've seen the video talking about that. So dang that one time he didn't put Do his little, you know before pre-match ritual He accidentally, you know in the injuring the guy I'm sure it obviously wasn't on purpose and they've had their conversations and I believe they've made the amends Or what not it's just you know, that's just unfortunate man like damn bro That's so unfortunate, but is not allowed to be viewed by anyone WWE has other instance like this that are hidden away in their video library to find out about those Watch the video. That's man. That's crazy. That is super super duper crazy, bro. Like that is insane The fact that that happened and he didn't have his pre-match ritual in place And once again, you got to show respect and love to these guys, you know that operating a ring I know he didn't try to intentionally injure him You know, just it was unfortunate and it's you know, it's the price they pay to once again Entertain us. That's why I may not like a storyline I may not even be the biggest fan of a wrestler, but I will always appreciate what they've done for the ring I'll never be one of those people that go out their way to You know harass them and talk trash all this is jokes and entertainment But at the end of that I'm never that person to be like wishing harm upon them because these are still human beings They're doing something that most of us would never do but we have all the opinions about it You know I'm saying so, but yeah, this was a crazy crazy list of things That wrestlers did before their matches if you know any more outside of this video comment down below Let me know if you've heard of any rumors or any pre-match rituals that you always thought was interesting or funny or Quite weird. Let me know down below, but I appreciate all love and support guys shown on channel road to 150k and I'm still getting speedy YouTube wrestling champ of the world. Appreciate your kicking me. See you next time. Peace


G'day, May 40 here. So I went for a dip in the Koojee Beach and They're like these four beauty queens wearing their tiaras And they were mucking around in the surf and taking selfies But their iphone's out in the surf Not a good time. So refreshing. Anyway, point of etiquette So I know that my audience is particularly attuned to questions of courtesy and etiquette What's you know, what's the right thing to do? So someone asked you to go for a walk Right, and then they take an incoming call Like how long? What's the etiquette for how long can you? Can you talk on your on your phone just to someone else when when you're on a walk with another person? All right, so I think it's like five minutes All right, so let's say you're going on a two-hour walk if you take one call for five minutes Not a big deal, but ten minutes I think it's too much. That's where I put my foot down so Yeah, I was the recipient of that the other day and I really didn't like it, right? It's no fun walking along with someone who's on a phone call All right, where you only hear one white part of the conversation so on the other hand like I've gone for a walk and I wanted to sit down and Read the Wikipedia entry on Garth Whitlam Right to me that's a different thing Because you may be disengaging from the other person, but you're not on the phone So you're not subjecting them to a one-way conversation so I I've been on dates like a first date and the woman was taking calls Like she probably took like three calls on our first date and That was it All right, 40s got stand as I made up my mind right there I'm gonna put out with this. I never wanted to go out with her again, but then Whatever reason she became hyper interested in me. I kept tracking me down But all I could think about was you disrespected me taking all those calls on our first date Like why why would I want to go out with you? So what's when you're when you invite someone to hang out go for a walk Now what's the appropriate amount of time that you can get on your phone to someone else like? Obviously a matter of life and death, but there's a lot of money at stake then I can understand Taking the phone call But if it's not urgent and if it's not a lot of money at stake There's not a lot of money at stake then I think like five minutes should be the max


Hello everyone another video for you today, so the narcissist discarded you Or maybe you got fed up and you left them behind And now they've moved on and It looks like They're doing so much better without you. They're happier without you Maybe they've got their new supply They've got all of these things going on now.  There's so much happier now You might assume that even if they don't tell you anything Even if you don't see any pictures That's going to be your natural Assumption because they have brainwashed and indoctrinated you They've made you believe in these lies and stories And you've just got a look back When you first met them When they first targeted you remember how they came to you with this false character They made you believe that they were about all of these things They lied to you. They manipulated you the future faked and then time went by and None of this ever actually came into fruition You never experienced the results or the effects of what they were trained to you in the beginning They made you believe that they were on your level Well, in fact, they were at a higher level than you And they were there to help you to make your life better But then you got with them and you ended up doing all of the work You were doing everything for them and you were getting little or nothing back in return And yet many of us because we've been indoctrinated the entire relationship We actually believe that they have moved on. I know they're happier with someone else and they're doing better without us Well, that's actually nothing more than just another part of the illusion Just look back at the love bombing That you experienced with them. It was just all talk all words. They never actually did anything So what makes you think that they're gonna do something great with someone else if you want to know How great someone can build something With a person Just look at back at their past Look back at their past experiences and relationships How they have interacted with other people in the past Were they the type of person to just go in and use and abuse someone and then just leave them behind and forget about them or Have they been in relationships where? They're doing 50% of the work or all of the work They're doing everything they can to help the other person and to improve their life That's what you've got to look at this pattern of behavior from their past with their exes Were they at least doing 50-50? Were they improving the other person's life? If not, then whoever they're dealing with is likely going to get rid of them or they're going to end up leaving them Just as it happened with you Because relationships they need to be 50-50 or they have to be somewhat even for them to work It can't just be one person doing everything and the other person is sitting back Relationships do not work that way They won't last for long So this is what we've got to look at I mean, I'm sure yourself if you are an empath or maybe you're codependent You've got a very consistent pattern of behavior and relationships You're doing everything you possibly can you're giving all of your love and devotion To the person that you're with you're doing all of the work. You're always there for them and You're thinking long-term you're thinking about marriage children a future. So that shows The next person that you get involved with It's likely to be a much better experience for you than what you experienced with the narcissist If you do heal and you look for the signs the red flags That let you know what you're dealing with But as for the narcissist They are not going to do better without you It's just going to get worse They will experience a downward spiral as their lives begin to deteriorate Because they're just not willing to put in the work and as I said about the pattern of behavior and their past relationships They have a history of using abusing and discarding people So that's what they're going to continue to do And the more that they do that is just going to get even worse for them Because the more that they do it they have these expectations They become even more impatient And it makes it so much easier for people to catch on Because then they gain more confidence or arrogance rather and they become more overt They think they can get away with certain things a lot easier When it just reveals exactly who they are So now people are starting to leave these relationships a lot earlier Or even if they get involved with them They don't desire to go back to them and I know a lot of you who are watching this video right now The last thing you want is to go back to the narcissist When if this was a few years ago, it would have been very different You may still have desire to go back to them But now that you've had these experiences you've gained this knowledge You don't feel that desire anymore And it's not just for you. This is they're going to be the same for everyone else as well Because this information is widespread now A lot of people are aware of it So This narcissistic behaviour it's not going to lead them anywhere good It may look like that initially Short-term And it may look like for us Imparsed, maybe we're naive, we're innocent We're foolish at times It may look like our empathy just leads us to constant failures in the beginning But over time it will begin to level out Empathy does lead to success long-term Narcissism As we know there are studies about this It can lead to short-term success But then long-term it always leads to self-destruction And it's not that easy for them to just engage in narcissistic behaviour And then just leave it alone Because there is a reward and incentive for them to continue with it and it becomes habitual So they get stuck in that cycle of repeating the same behaviours And ultimately it leads to failure and self-destruction Well as for us When we go through this It just makes us have more sympathy and compassion for other people who have gone through it And we can see that in the comments on so many different YouTube channels Once you've been through this it's like you understand You know what other people are going through You have this ability to relate to this empathy It really just leads to our success long-term And I genuinely believe that When I've seen people who are empaths in their old age They're very happy They're at peace with themselves They're not so driven by their egos Or this need to be important They can be satisfied They're often in healthy relationships They don't surround themselves with too many people But as for narcissists It's the opposite I've never seen a narcissist in old age who is happy They're very bitter and resentful They hold grudges They can't let things go And they're just very unhappy They look back at their life of failures and disappointments Where they took advantage of people They exploited them And it haunts them It just fills them full of shame which they carry with them throughout their lives They try to deflect it under other people But it doesn't work that way It stays with them Remember narcissists are shame-based people They're doing everything they can to avoid reflecting on their shame But it stays with them their entire lives And it actually gets a lot worse with age The more that they manipulate and abuse other people So to answer the question of why it looks like they're doing better without you It really is just an illusion It's all manipulation and orchestration It's something where they can show you A snapshot, this image of something good In a specific moment They can orchestrate it They can arrange the elements They can coordinate it Of course they're very good at that You've got to think, narcissists, they've been living This lie their entire lives It's just a fake life You ask a narcissist, they will tell you Their relationship is fine, it's perfect There's nothing wrong with it They're happy And they will show it off on social media They may even have told you their childhood was perfect Their parents were fine But then just look at them and how they behave They're always miserable They can't sustain a relationship Or even then they're not happy being alone In their own company These are all clear signs That yes, their entire life They have lived in denial They have lived in an alternate reality They don't accept the truth And that the truth is that yes They have actually lived quite a miserable life I mean no one's life is perfect, of course That's what narcissists do They try to portray this perfect image Of how their life is so much better than yours Or another person's But as soon as they do that That's how we should know that they are full of shit Because most people, they're not going to describe their lives in that way Our lives have ups and downs And so does our happiness as well We have good moments and we have bad moments There's things you can take out of your life And say that was good There's other things you could say that was bad But for the narcissists it's like everything is perfect There's nothing wrong They never did anything wrong to anyone Nothing was done wrong to them and their childhood It's all just a facade And so you should know that even when it looks like they've moved on They appear to be happy That is a facade as well And honestly I look back With some of my narcissistic exes And how miserable they were I can honestly say that I don't hold a grudge Despite everything that they did to me How they abused me for so many years Honestly I look back at them And I wish that They did just move on And find someone And have a healthy relationship And things just got better for them And they could have been happy I wish it could have been that way for them But from what I know as I've mentioned In other videos It wasn't that way for them And it never will be Narcissists, these people who manipulate and abuse you They're never just going to move on and be happy It's never going to be that way for them They're always going to be miserable And that's just the way that it is That's just the way that it's going to be for them And I know it may be the same for some of you Maybe some of you actually wish that yes If only the narcissist could move on And find someone And just have a happy healthy relationship And maybe just forget about you for real Instead of just pretending to forget about you And at times These things that you see You may see these pictures on social media With these fake smiles Where it looks like they're so happy without you You see that and it may make you Quite angry and upset And not because you're envious or jealous Of their Supposed new relationship But actually because Maybe you already know deep down That yes it is fake It's not even real And it angers you because You're just thinking Yes I've just been manipulated Again I've just been fooled again By thinking that this person Could actually be real Could actually be genuine I could actually find A healthy relationship with someone else Because I don't know about you But that's what makes me angry That's what upsets me When I see things like that In my past when I've seen These ex-narcissists portray this Relationship after they just Discarded me I'm just thinking Do you really think that I'm that stupid That I'm that foolish to believe in this Illusion again That you've just moved on And you've found someone else That's what angers and upsets me Not because I'm envious or jealous Of a narcissist new relationship If it's someone Where it's actually real Or they have a healthy happy relationship With someone that's great That's what I support That's what I like to see I wish there was more of that In the world instead of all of this Fake stuff Where people are pretending to be Something that they're not And of course we should already know By how they've treated us They treated us badly They abused us They manipulated us They lied to us They future faked And it's like How can someone even have the audacity And the arrogance To act like they've moved on And then portray This happy relationship with someone else After what they've just gone And done to you I mean you've got to think How delusional can someone be How detached from reality Because it just doesn't make any sense Someone with that type of character With those traits where they're capable Of deliberately and intentionally Hurting and mistreating someone And feeling no remorse How can someone be so audacious and arrogant To move on and act like They're actually happy And in a healthy relationship with someone else In the real world That never happens If that was ever going to happen Even if they miraculously Just had this epiphany And suddenly managed to change Which as we know is extremely rare For a narcissist person Even if that did happen The first thing they're going to do Is re-initiate some form of contact with you The person that they mistreated and abused And then they're going to try and Correct things with you They're going to try and make things Better with you Because of course they're going to feel very guilty But as we know Narcissistic people do not do that So that's how you know straight away That they have not moved on And they are not happy with someone else They do not have a healthy relationship And in fact they are never Going to be happy in their lives They are always going to be miserable And they're always going to be envious And jealous of you They're always going to try to Try to portray this illusion of superiority And that's all that it's ever going to be It's never going to be real It's always going to be fake Their entire life is fake It's all a lie It's all manipulation and deception As I've said before The best you will ever get from them Is an illusion And it's like while we're with them It gets to a point where that's the best They will ever get from us Because we can't even be ourselves around them So the best that we can give to them Is an illusion as well Because anytime that we try to show Any empathy or compassion What do they do? They try to break us down They try to prevent us from doing that But we can take that And share it with someone Who cares Someone who will love us for who we are Someone who will accept us Someone who appreciates our kindness and compassion Instead of just taking it for granted So I just wanted to share this message With you tonight Of how They are not doing better without you And in fact typically they are doing a lot worse Because you've got to think They really had the best with you You are an empath Some of you may be co-dependents It's like we value ourselves By what we can give to people All we care about is making other people feel good And you just got to think what are the odds That they are going to find that again With someone else Knowing that empaths Are extremely rare in this world While narcissistic people are very common Just being aware of that That should tell you all that you need to know They are not doing better without you So I hope this video comforts you I hope it's helpful And if it is, you can show your support By giving it a thumbs up down below Let me know your thoughts as well In the comments section I do read your comments every day And as always, I look forward to talking with you In another video very soon You all have a...


Imagine you are trying to explain something to someone, but a group of people show up and start talking over you. Their noise builds up so much you can't be heard anymore. This method of silencing is also used in the digital world. Information online can be blocked behind digital noise. We call this a distributed denial of service attack, or in short, a DDoS attack. This method is frequently used to silence journalists, bloggers and activists, and to block messages from institutions and governments. The attacker sends repeated requests to a website so that it no longer has the capacity to answer your request or even prevent the administrator from accessing the site. The attack is a digital form of censorship, and it is easy to deploy and very effective. If you don't want to be silenced, if you want to be heard, there are two simple things you can do to be prepared for a DDoS attack and keep the site content accessible. Mirror and backup.


Obviously the major discourse about the Oscars has been about Margot Robbie not being nominated for Best Actress and then Greta Gerwig not being nominated for Best Director. Some see those as snubs especially with Ken being nominated and that whole meme that's been going around where it's all about women, blah blah blah, and of course a man is the only one who's nominated. Yes, it is a little bit of a sour kind of eh by the Academy to do that, a little bit tone deaf. However, they are not wrong with why they didn't choose those two for those categories and it's not like they aren't nominated for other aspects. Greta is nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay. Yes, it is a little weird that it's adapted because it's based on a toy. I can't think of another circumstance where something like this is so bizarrely attached to adapted. Yeah, I will say I thought it was a little weird that it was put in adapted, but I don't know if it would have one for original either because it's not going to win in adapted, but it's not going to win in original either. There's too many to contend with past lives. Another female director writer, Celine Song. That I've heard is a very big frontrunner. I love the holdovers and I've also heard that Anatomy of a Fall written by Justine Trait and Arthur Harry. That's probably those two past lives in Anatomy of a Fall are the ones that are in the running for it. And then for Adapted Screenplay you've got Oppenheim and you've got poor things in American fiction. So I don't think that it stands a chance against those ones. I did not enjoy Barbie. I thought it was all right. I laughed. I thought it was a good movie. The thing that I think that's kind of bothering me a little bit is that the other accolades that have been garnered by other female filmmakers in these denominations are not really being talked about at all. If not, it's all of the vitriol because the vitriol is what everyone clicks on. Everyone wants to click on a negative thing rather than a positive. It's a common thing. I see that with my own videos. I see that more people will watch my worst of movies of the year than my best of.  But there are certain things that they should. I'm just amazed that it's not being talked about. For best picture you've got three female lead movies with past lives, Anatomy of a Fall and Barbie. Barbie's got Margot Robbie in there. Some people might not see that as big as Best Actress. But I do have to mention who would you replace of the five who are here, Annette Benning, Lily Godstone, who is a very frontrunner for it. Sandra Huller from Anatomy of a Fall, Carrie Mulligan, who has deserved an Oscar for a long time at this point, or Emma Stone, who is also a frontrunner. She was good, but she's not as good as those five. If there were six or seven nominations, sure, I would have put her in there. This is not Eitania level of acting that Margot has shown. It was a funny movie, but Margot was done far better work with other movies. Eitania still to this day is her best performance, in my opinion, and one of my favorite biopics in the last decade. And then in terms of Greta Gerwig, who you go on for to direct her, who would you have her remove? You got Justine Trait with Anatomy of a Fall, the film that won the Pandora, one of the most highly accolated awards in film culture. It's held in much higher regard than Best Picture amongst the film making community. It just doesn't generate as much buzz. For example, Parasite won that award and then just swept, but that was because Parasite was very, very, very good. But out of the five here, you've got Justine Trait with Anatomy of a Fall, Martin Scorsese with Killers of a Flower Moon. He spent literally years on this film. Oppenheimer with Christopher Nolan, this is admittedly Nolan's best movie in years. Poor things with Yagos Lanthimos. I'm probably butchering that name, but I have not seen this film, but I have just seen some bits of it and it is vividly crazy. Like it's kind of like Barbie, but on acid almost in terms of how the film is constructed. And then you have the Zone of Interest, which that film is not just how the film is shown to the audience, but it is also an audio experience because of the subject matter of the movie. So which one of those would you replace with Greta? Again, same situation. I couldn't. Barbie is not a bad movie. It is a good movie, but it is not good as these. It's just a little bit of a reality. But at the same time, why is there not as much Woo for Celine song from Past Lives not being nominated? Don't see a lot about that. It's just because a lot of people wouldn't saw Barbie. Just because your movie is a massive box office success does not mean it's going to warrant it. Like look at Endgame. I know that's a Marvel movie. I'm making a very basic ape-like comparison, but that is commonplace. Dark Knight wasn't even nominated for Best Picture, yet somehow Black Panther was, but that was because Oscar bait. Like for the most part, Oscars are usually about the politics. As much as I love Brandon Frazier in the whale, I really do think that Austin Butler deserved that award. But because of the track record, everyone loves an underdog story in the Oscars. Brandon Frazier got it. And you know what? I bet he's not going to get anything for a while. While Austin Butler is going to get more and more work for quite some time. I do understand the about the fact that Ryan Gosling got nominated for Barbie. Admittedly, he is the best performance in that movie. I'm not denying it. He is the best performance in the movie. I'm still kind of amazed that American Ferrera got her nomination. Not to say that her monologue isn't probably one of the most important parts of the movie, but aside from that monologue, what else is she in that movie? Kind of for just being this side character that goes along with.  But that scene was heart wrenching.  I can't say that for American Ferrera. I went and saw it at a drive-in and there was also these light issues.  The lights kept on going on. They're amazing. It's kind of amazing how many people do not understand how car batteries work, but I guess we are in that age. But going back to the best supporting actress role, Divine Joy Randolph has that in the bag. Some of the best parts of that movie were certain scenes with her that were just so, so, so crushing. Yes, I understand the discourse about Ken being nominated, but then again, going back to the nominations in the best actress role, I dare someone to pick a good one to remove because all you're doing is you're just removing one person who won't win unless you're choosing Lily. And same with Emma too. Yes, Margo and Greta were not nominated for actress or director, but they were also nominated for so many other things and there were so many other female filmmakers who were nominated for other things. Celine Song, Justine Crate, Sandra Holler. No one's talking about them. That's because it doesn't get you clicks. It doesn't get you any kind of things and a lot of people didn't watch Anatomy of a Fall. I am one of those people. I have yet to see it, but because it's French, not a lot of people when saw it. I find that when this kind of discourse happens, I would like to also focus on the positives of it because there are. There are some in this situation and I feel that those should be getting some attention because I have heard nothing but exceedingly excellent things about Anatomy of a Fall as well as past lives. Both of those movies are apparently phenomenal. Those are my thoughts. Interested to see what you guys have to say? I would love to see what you guys have to say in the comments if I can have one ask. Just make it, you know, as civil as we can be. Yes, you can have your opinion and you can have your reason as to why. Well, let's try and make it civil. Let's make it a discourse. That's what I like to see. I like to see a back and forth about why and kind of a mutual understanding. I feel it's something that people are so afraid to try and have anymore. That if you voice anything in any kind of opposition to what the mass is that you're going to be, that's not just about film, it's about politics, it's about everything, but I wish we could have civil discourse again. That's what the discourse of film is meant to be. Sure, you can be passionate. Sure, you can be like fueled about your opinion of the movie, but you also should be willing to listen to outside forces. That's something that the Zack Snyder fans do not seem to understand at all. Anyways, guys, that's all from me. I hope you liked the video. If you did, leave a like and if you're interested in more subscribe. And like I said, please give me your comments down below. I'm very interested to see what you guys have to say. Otherwise, that's all from me. See you guys next time.


With trillions of stimulus, with money printing everywhere, is hyperinflation something we should expect over the next decade? I actually lived through hyperinflation and when I was eight years old, you needed seven of these to buy a loaf of bread. You needed 5,000 of these to buy a loaf of bread. So everybody was a millionaire, this is 10,000. It went to 100,000, so from the highest note being 100,000, quickly it went to 100,000. That's hyperinflation. The yearly rate was about 1,000% of inflation over two years, about 40% per month. That is hyperinflation. Will we see the same for our euros and dollars and will we all be millionaires or even billionaires? That's a topic we will discuss in today's stock market news. So if you are an investor, if you want to protect your wealth, I was a collector already at eight years old, so if you're a collector, you need to protect your wealth and you need to know what to do if there will be a paradigm shift over the next decade and how to protect yourself and how to take advantage of that. If you like that mindset, please click that like button for the algorithm, it helps a lot even better if you subscribe to the channel. Let's dig into the content. We're going to discuss the economy. First the market, how is it possible that the economy is collapsing and stocks go up? Then the economy, what's actually going on with the economy? What will be going on? What are the forecasts that will always be wrong? Then we are going to discuss the medicine. Everybody is applying always the same medicine, so more and more money, more printing. So that works until it doesn't work. We'll talk about that. Then we're going to discuss the different scenarios, inflation, deflation, hyperinflation, whatever happens so that we can be ready as we'll finish in an investment overview. So stick to this video, you'll learn a lot and it might make a big difference over your lifetime. Let's start. So we are seeing what we are seeing. Millions of jobless claims, economy, what economy? Everything is paralyzed but stocks have fallen entered into a bear market and now rebounded so that over the last years the market is just down 13%. That's normal for a stock market. So like nothing has happened but a lot has happened and many prognosticate a depression or recession or the mother of all recessions. Now how can that be that the market is down 3% over a year, 13% year to date? So the market is even over the last 12 months. Can you believe that? How can that be despite the fact that there are millions of jobless claims just in the US every week and the mother of all recessions has arrived? How can that be? Well, there is trillions of stimulus, real assets go up no matter what the economy does. So inflation is already here in the form of higher financial assets thanks to financial stimulus, thanks to the huge amount of money that is being printed that lifts real assets stocks up. So people are looking for safety into stocks not anymore into money. And we have made many discussions on Ray Dalio who has discussed over the last years that there is a lot of money on the sidelines parked on bank accounts everywhere because of the printing with low interest rates. And now that there is even more printing that money is entering the market and those that haven't been in the market because they thought it was overvalued they also might enter. So that's pushing the market higher currently. But then let's look at the economy. So annual macroeconomics forecast. I just took this from Unicredit, their macro view. Forecasts will always be wrong. Don't worry about that. But it's a good way to think about and see what they are expecting. So they are expecting US GDP down 10.8%. In 2020, Germany 10%. France 14. Italy 15. Spain 15. Portugal 15. Greece almost 20%. UK 10. Sweden 6%. And those are really, really terrible numbers. Inflation on the other hand is expected to be close to 0% not to worry and then picking up again to the normal target at 2% in 2021. If we look however at something important government budget balances those are going to be big, big in the red. So 13% budget deficits for the US, 10% budget deficit in 2021, similar situations all over Europe and the world, 12% China, which means that the governments are going to increase their debt. The US in 2019 from 107% of GDP to 143% of GDP and probably even higher if it shows that the current measures will not be enough. So debt to GDP ratios will skyrocket. However, even more important, the forecast for US analyzed GDP growth or decline rate is 65% in the second quarter of 2020. Eurozone 20%. Now we don't know when will things stabilize but if you go down 65% in one quarter hoping that it will stabilize next quarter and it will go up 65% annualized, you still don't reach the previous level. So it will take a long time to reach the previous level and probably governments are going to spend a lot of money, go into deficits, borrow as much as they can and central banks are going to print their money. So when governments have such high debt levels above 100% to GDP, what's the solution? The solution is always inflation. You take debt, you have to repay it in six years, you borrow one million, inflation 2%, the return in real money should be 1.12 million but you are only returning one million thanks to inflation. Then you have higher revenues due to inflation as a government, higher taxes which makes it easier to repay the debt. This is the average maturity of treasury notes of the United States, so 70 months and you see how they borrow now, they pay back later and paying back later is easier or refinancing should be easier thanks to inflation. That's why everybody's goal is to have a little bit of inflation. However, this is really crazy. The Fed's balance sheet was $1 trillion in 2008. Then financial crisis, okay, went to $2 trillion but it wasn't enough so it went to $4.5 trillion. Then they started, okay, let's try to lower that balance sheet and it hit a low of $3.7 billion, $3 trillion, sorry, trillion, billion, million, $3.7 trillion in August 28, 2019 only to skyrocket to the current $5.8 trillion just in a few months and expectations are that it will go to $10 trillion. So in just 12 years, the balance sheet will go from $1 trillion to $10 trillion, so that's 10x, 10x and it's logically that the value of money will go down. Now when you discuss inflation, you will not see that as everywhere. It will not be linearly spread everywhere. It will be somewhere, yes, somewhere, absolutely not and that's something you have to be very, very careful about. Plus if the measures that they are implementing now don't work, don't bring back unemployment to 3% as it was the case, they will do whatever it takes. They've started buying junk bonds, they'll be lending to states and do whatever it takes and if we read Powell's interview the Fed is committed to using all its powers forcefully, proactively and aggressively to help the US. So if the US's problem is not only economic activity but also debt, the Fed will do whatever it can to help it repay its debt and the best way to do is to print money, allow for more inflation and we are likely heading into a paradigm shift. After 10 years of interest rates at zero, now we are seeing economic issues due to the situation but the economic issues were already there. People were feeling that we are at the end of the cycle and the Fed will do whatever it takes over the next 10 years. When you start giving money to people, do you think there is a way back? Yes, of course. Oh yes, the Fed is still in fairy tales. I don't know, maybe when you're older than 70, like all the politicians around, you still believe in fairy tales, like when you are younger than 7. But that's something we have to take advantage of, not be scared of. Similarly, the ECB's 750 billion pandemic emergency purchase program on top of all the other purchasing programs and on top of the next purchasing programs coming and then if we listen to Lagar to her interview, she says we have more options available to respond to a worst case scenario. She's not going to tell us which options but the impact will also be linked to the element of surprise. She added that there was no limit to our commitment to serving the euro area. So printing, printing at will, that is pump it to the max, like the Saudis and Russians did with the oil. Just pump it, baby. However, this will and has led to inflation. Now, don't look at inflation from a statistical perspective. Statistics is for suckers. The important thing is what does it mean for you? If we look at Japan, everybody is saying, okay, Japan has huge debt, but it doesn't show inflation. Well, yes, it doesn't show inflation in the general statistical form, but this is statistic. If you look at the average net worth in the United States is 300K, but if you are the average US citizen, do you have 300K on your net worth? Unlikely, the median net worth, which is if you are the median citizen, so 50% of those are poorer than you and 50% are richer, the median net worth is 45K. This is statistics averages can be very confusing. Just to put this into perspective, 1% owns what? 40% of the wealth in the United States, 40% own practically nothing. So forget about statistics and averages. The same on inflation. Further, inflation, as I said, is about you. So what are the largest purchases in your life?   And if we look at your retirement nest, it depends on the value of what can you buy on the dividends, on the yield, on the asset prices you are buying for retirement. The SAP 500 index went up 28, 27 times over the last 40 years. So it's much more expensive to buy now your retirement nest. So your retirement, you need much more money to retire with a good yield. And if we look at the price earnings ratio, it was 7 in the 1980s, now it's 21. This means that on an earnings basis, on a business yield, the SAP 500 is three times more expensive than what it was in the 1980s. So your grandfather could retire at 30% of your cost. That's the environment that is for me inflation. If we look at home prices over the last 50 years, those went up 20 times, wages went up 9 times. Again, this is inflation above what you're making. So you have to think about that too. Healthcare costs just 50 times in the period when wages went up 9 times. So if you wanna live, be ready to pay for it.  Keep that in mind, stay healthy, eat broccoli. Then on monetary policy and inflation, we are now in incredible money printing and against the money printing, against the inflation, we have technology, we have oversupply thanks to a lot of money and Powell says monetary policy is just in the right place. However, how can it be in the right place when we have this coming? Nobody knows what will be the repercussions of this. It never happened, so we cannot know and just saying something is in the right place, of course, he would lose his job if he would say we don't know what we are doing, but you can't know what you are doing. Therefore, we as investors have to be prepared for anything. Will we have a hyperinflation scenario, like in Germany, will we have stagflation? Well, it's questionable. We don't know what will happen. The key here is to know that the Fed thinks everything is under control, the ECB too, but those things are under control, under control, under control, under control, until those aren't anymore and when they lose their control, it will all happen. Bam, bam, bam, very fast because they can keep things under control until they have their control, but it's all uncharted territory, so it's important to think it can happen and be ready for it as an investor, as a person, not think statistically, think about yourself in these times and prepare for anything. The world does not change slowly, the world changes in big jumps, so that paradigm shift that Ray Dalio has been discussing will happen quickly, will not happen or it's starting to happen. No, once the world understands it's happening, it will happen extremely fast. So we can have inflation, we can have stagflation, we can have hyperinflation, we can have deflation. Also, if there is less demand possible, we can have deflation, if there is less demand, especially temporarily, but one thing is certain, the value of money, currencies will go down over time, faster or slower, who knows. There has been situations where actual currencies went up in value, some currencies, etc. But the thing is that governments and everybody wants their currencies to go down to ease the debt repayments and refinancing. If there is inflation, everything is easier. Italy, just look at the inflation rates in history, now it has been lowered due to the implementation of the euro, but we were always at 5, 6, 7, 8%, with peaks of above 15% for a long period in the 70s and the 80s. Further, development of beer prices in Europe, look at what happened from the 1970s up 7 times, respective to gold. So, that is inflation, 14 times since the 1950s and that is something you have to expect. Whether it will be faster or slower, nobody knows. Will we see deflation over the coming months? Well, that depends on the supply chains. If there is disruption in the supply chains, we might see prices going up. With an economic depression, that's stagflation. And if they print more money, they cannot move something that's blocked with money. So, I would love to go to spend now a weekend with my wife in a five-star hotel on the coast, but we can't go there. So, if they push money towards that hotel, they will not create economic activity. So, that's something that also can happen. We are going to see what scenarios will happen. The likely long-term scenario is inflation higher or lower with high jumps when the paradigm shifts actually happens. So, inflation is likely to come. They will be solving their issues with the same medicine that probably also created those issues, not the temporary issues, the long-term issues that are key when it comes to such situations, because people are indebted and then problems arise. And in such a scenario of whatever it takes, I made a video, I think it was a year ago, about how the SAP500 will probably be at 5,000 points by 2030, but not everybody might be happy about it. With the Marni printing, with what's going on, I think that is a more likely and likely scenario that we see the SAP500 at 5,000 points in 10 years. Mark my words and I'll be really interested to come back to this video and that one in 10 years. Subscribe and stick to this channel for the next 10 years. So, if financial assets are real assets that give you protection on inflation because they have pricing power, then it's smarter to be invested in real assets than to save your money for a rainy day, because, yes, I was picking this up on the street because everybody was throwing money. Banknotes, for me, are always banknotes, so I'm still keeping them. But that's something we have to think. Okay, how can I protect what I'm having, what the wealth I'm having, not to lose it and how can I, let's say, take advantage of this? Stocks, businesses, good businesses, especially those with real assets, even those that have a little bit of debt because if refinancing gets cheaper and cheaper with inflation and they produce, have pricing power, that will be even more leverage on the bonus side. But they have to survive the current volatility. Then, what am I doing? We are now looking for real estate. We've been discussing with the bank a little bit, informing myself. They are giving me a mortgage for 25 years for 3% with the euro. I think that the dollar may be not, but the euro in 10, 20 years will be having nodes like this of hundreds of euros. And that's something that is possible that can happen. So I want to lock in that mortgage. My wife has found a nice real estate property. We'll probably make an offer and then we'll see how it goes over the coming weeks. It's a little bit difficult to look for real estate in this lockdown. But that's what we are doing. So financial assets, stocks, real businesses, real estate with leverage, and then we'll see how it goes. But I think it's a good preparation for what is about to come. And I know it's going to be volatile, but long-term is what I'm investing in. I just need to survive the short-term volatility. We have seen it with stocks. It's volatile. It has been volatile over the next last three months and it will remain volatile. But long-term, thanks to inflation, home prices in the US, $3,000 in 1940, $120,000 in 2000 and $217,000 in 2020. So up almost a hundred times. This is the long-term investing. Similarly with stocks, $1 from 1801 till now would be $11 million. This is investing in businesses. This is inflation protection. So this is what I'm going to do. This is what I'm doing. But I remind you, it will be volatile, but you need to buy value. When you find it, if the value goes down in price, you simply buy more, you reinvest the dividends. And long-term, it will be the best because the best investments are made in crisis times. Keep that in mind. Now we can discuss statistics, Japan, macroeconomics, still judgment day. However, the key is investing through thick and especially thin is what emphasizes your long-term investing. Returns gives you wealth, it's great businesses and accumulating real assets.

Invenidos and welcome, everybody. How's everyone doing today? All right. I'm Jacob Kwantomski. I'm a developer on the BLS Wallet Project. And here with me today is James Zaki, who is our project lead. And we're going to talk about BLS Wallet. Anyways, what we're going to cover today, when the next slide pops up, is we're going to go over at a high level the team and project outcomes, a little bit on the basics and a high-level overview of BLS signatures and aggregation. We're then going to cover where BLS Wallet is today with some examples and some of the features we have built in. And then we're going to cover where we're going next with the project. And finally, we should have ample time for questions. So we'll kind of go over the team and some project outcomes to start. This is our wonderful team. I'll move over here. Off of it. Off a little. That's OK. We're scattered all across the globe. We're part of the Privacy and Scaling Explorations Group, which is a subgroup of the Ethereum Foundation. We work mainly with zero-knowledge proofs and layer 2 scaling technology. Our goal is to bring more privacy and scalability to the Ethereum blockchain system. So some of the outcomes we want to try to reach with our project and the primary one, our North Star, or here in the Southern Hemisphere, the Southern Cross, is going to be to reduce the cost of L2 transactions, primarily by reducing the amount of data that is rolled up into L1s by reducing transaction size. Currently, with some initial numbers, which are a little difficult to see right now, we've essentially simulated running 150 ERC20 transfers, both regularly, normally on a rollup, as well as bundling them all together into a single L2 transaction using BLS wallet. And we've gotten it down the transaction data size by about a quarter. We're hoping that we can go even further than that. We still need to measure the impact that we're going to have on layer 1 gas costs to see how the transactions are actually going to be reduced. But our team likes to limbo, and we want to see how low can we go with using some things involving address books, as well as some other indexing things to reduce that call data even lower than where it's at. We'll get into how we reduce that size in a moment. So another outcome we're looking for is to be able to improve wallets. One of the features with that is going to be account recovery. Sometimes people talk about a social recovery. So if your private keys are compromised, is there a way you can swap to a more secure set of private keys? And what kind of features, functionalities, and security that will enable? And then we also want to have upgradeable functionality for wallets so you can change what features and things it has over time so that wallets can serve a more diverse set of users across the entire ecosystem. And finally, we want to make de-apps a lot easier to use. And so part of that is by having a baked-in multi-call, or we call it multi-actions, where you can take multiple transactions and put them into one. And then also having sponsored transactions where the user does not have to pay gas on their end and the de-app sponsors it instead. So that way, when users first come in to try to de-app for the first time, they don't have to go stay to an exchange to buy Ethereum so they can pay gas for transactions. So to start off, we're going to cover BLS signatures and aggregations at kind of a high level. BLS stands for Bonelin Sachem, is a pairing cryptography-based signature scheme used in the Ethereum consensus layer, Zcash, and a number of other projects. It is deterministic for a given public key and message. Validators currently are using BLS signatures, specifically on the BLS-12381 curve, to sign messages on the consensus layer. And then inside of the EVM execution layer, we have access to the BN-254 curve via EIP-197 that allows us to, which we use in BLS wallet, for both signing and then verifying on-chain the transactions. We're hoping in the future, via newer EIP, that we will be able to actually move to the beacon chain curve for more security and for better access to frameworks that the beacon chain is using to improve the signatures. But the most important thing for us is signature aggregation. And what we're able to do with the BLS signature scheme is take multiple signatures, let's work, yeah, and merge them into one signature. So normally with the signature space you'd have taking up, we can shrink it into just one. And this is really good for reducing the data that we roll up into an L1, because normally when a roll-up goes in, it takes all the transaction data, as well as the signatures for each of those transactions, specifically the RS and V components of that signature. Instead, we can use one BLS signature across all of those transactions, plus one ECDSA signature, and save on that data that we roll up. And that's in the example we saw before, why the actual transaction data payload is much smaller. If you're interested in learning a bit more about the underlying, oh, pairing cryptography, there's a really good visual guide at cryptology, which will go into the actual aggregation and more about the actual BLS signatures. So let's get into where we are today with BLS wallet. So at a high level, as per most normal DF usage, you're going to have a browser that's going to have an extension usually in the wallet, and that's going to be communicating to some RPC node. And we have the same setup in our example prototype extension. We're then going to, in our case though, have a set of user operations that we forward to an aggregator service, which is going to take many de-separate operations and merge them all together into one and submit them to an L2 node, which then will execute against our contracts for the verification of the signatures and then through the smart contract wallet. To dive into that a little bit more, at a high level, we're going to have a DF starting out by generating the operations, which contain a set of actions and we'll go into what that format looks like in a second. The wallet extension will then use the BLS client module to sign all of those with those BLS signatures. Those are then submitted into this aggregator service to create a single bundle of operations with one aggregated signature. Then the bundler aggregator will take that set of transactions and we'll submit them into the Layer 2 EVM where we can do some work with expansion to expand the call data parameters into more advanced or more verbose data. We do the BLS signature verification across those and then finally for each of those operations and actions, we submit it to the actual contract wallet and that is then executed against the actual underlying DF code. So the first feature we're going to dive into is the multicoller action for this. So this is a library that our teammate, Andrew, helped write. If you want to try it out, you can MPM install BLS dash wallets dash clients. Still keeping that edge of that stage. In there, we're going to have a bundle that we're generating and the wallet's going to sign it. That operation is going to have a nonce, which is going to be the current wallet nonce. For if the wallet hasn't been created yet and it's going to be lazily created, it'll just be zero. We then have an array of actions where those actions are atomic. So if any one of these actions were to fail, then they all would fail. Inside of that, you can specify an F value as part of that, the contract you're targeting and then finally the encoded function that you'll send over. In the case of the example we have up here, we're doing an approve and a swap on a simulated DEX. And instead of it having to be two separate transactions, we can just merge it into one via that format. Using, building on top of this, we've built a prototype browser extension wallet called Quill. And, whoop, too fast, cool. Called Quill with Andrew and Katuk. And, whoop, and as you can see here in an example, we have a standard transaction confirmation which contains three actions inside of it, one of them in the middle being an approve. So instead of a user having to go in and separately run the transaction for approve and say transfer and something else, we can do it all in one and have just one confirmation dialogue pop up to them. If you wanna learn more about how we have this set up and how you can integrate the DApp into it right now, you can find out more at the link below in our GitHub repo on how to integrate that in. So, next we'll get into sponsored transactions. So, right now the pattern we're using to have these sponsored transactions is to have our normal flow, but in the middle we're injecting in this top center portion an aggregator proxy, which essentially is taking those operations we would normally submit to an aggregator and is instead sending them to it where it qualifies to see if they can be funded for free gas basically. And so then that aggregator proxy will add that payment bundle in there and then submit it to the normal aggregator which requires a fee. And this allows for us to have those gasless transactions. Our teammate John has built a very cool demo using a scaffoldeth for the scaffoldeth community which is a single pool dex. And as you can see here, it's a single pool dex with a swap. It does use the multi-action as well to do the approve and the swap inside of it. And then it all runs inside of the browser with no need for like upfront gas because the aggregator proxy is going to subsidize it. And so that allows for a free transaction. You can find out more at the GitHub repo below and it also is deployed at single pool dex reactapp.versil.app. We're also looking into doing this directly via a contract. The way the aggregator currently works is when it receives a bundle, it's going to actually introspect and look at whether when it simulates executing that transaction if it gets paid either in F or we also allow ERC20 tokens. If it sees that it happens, it will include it in the bundle that's going to submit to layer two. So one of the ways you can take advantage of this inside of a contract is just have it pay transaction origin and then the aggregator will get paid. You can also do things potentially like gate this payment via an allow list ownership of an NFT or potentially even something like a ZKP proof so that you can only allow certain people to have access to that. This also allows anyone potentially to be a bundler and submitter potentially even MEV bots that are looking for profit and be able to submit those in so that you don't have to go through a specific aggregator and you could submit to say just a general say bundle mem pool going on top. We still have more research to be done to figure this out but we believe it should be pretty feasible and possible to do. All right, and now I'm going to hand things over to my teammate James. James? Thank you. Yeah, you've done pretty well given the slides have been a bit often we've just lost our speaking notes, but okay. Yep, so with recovery, it's kind of catastrophic with an EOA if your private key is compromised. You're basically racing against an attacker to secure your assets but with a smart contract wallet we've implemented a recover function that requires basically setting a recovery hash from that hash. Yep, we've got the notes now. Behind the timer. Yeah, so with a recovery hash it just consists of the address that you're going to trust to call the recovery function and the hash of the wallet, the wallet's public key that you're addressing and some salt so that an attacker can't actually deduce your recovery address or the wallet that we'll call that. So when you do call recover, you pass in those parameters and you are the caller itself then you can immediately reset your BLS key and yes, basically stop the attacker who may have attempted to take some of your assets or set some of the other functions. So if an attacker steals your key and tries to reset your key they can't do that because there's a one week delay in setting that parameter. With your recovery, you can do that straight away. So as soon as you see a problem in that someone's trying to set something that you didn't, you can intercept it with this. Take advantage of the fact that when you first set your recovery hash it will set it immediately but otherwise it's a secure function so it will have a delay and in doing that you can do something quite fun with that in that if you want to onboard your users you can put a wallet inside the browser and have them use that. You can send them some assets like give them basically a Web2 usability experience but they actually have Web3 assets in their browser wallet but then at some point they may say they may wish to secure those assets further so you have the smart contract deployed you have the key inside the browser but that's not very secure so you can do something like suggest to the user that they set the recovery hash of their browser wallet and you can do that via the DAP and then from the secure wallet that you've prompted them to install like if it's our prototype extension Quill you can then recover the wallet that was in the browser and what you've done is effectively set the private key to the extension key rather than the one in the browser so that one's lost and you've secured it. We find that's just a smooth way to onboard people. So where to next? So let's sort of start with where we began. So we were looking primarily at aggregating signatures obviously to reduce the call data towards layer one on rollups and we wanted to I don't know the slides here so yeah I wanted to leverage account abstraction which was at the protocol layer first so that was EIP 2938 with that we realized it could be some delay for that and also that seems to have paused since then so we decided at that time to focus on a BLS only signature scheme because that's what we needed and that would be a contract wallet. We did some preliminary optimizations like parameter deduplication so if you have a bundle with a lot of common parameters you can effectively like factorization you take it once out the front and fill in the gaps so something like an airdrop is really valuable so if someone wants to do an airdrop they can send a bundle of transactions they pass in one contract they're interacting with it's one sender, it's one address, it's calling it and then some of the parameters are the same except for the recipient and in that case you can effectively yeah, deduplicate parameters there you've got to ignore that screen there we go yeah some of the wallet features we then focused on were as Jake described sponsored transactions, multi-action recoverability and upgradeability and then we heard about EIP 4337 to start to gain some interest and popularity and at that time our contracts were going for audit so we're trying to figure out do we just finish what we're doing or look at that so then we decided to look towards being compatible with 4337 so that's where we are now where to next, we still focusing on aggregating signatures for the lowest cost transactions on layer 2 we will be focusing oh, my slide's moving around yeah, still focusing on aggregating signatures and then we are working on being 4337 compatible one of our colleagues is almost there with that and I noticed that drawer in the background so he's working on 4337 what I should explain, yeah, 4337 is doing account abstraction on-chain so they've got a basically a smart contract template for that and a structure for how that will work regarding paying gas as well the way we originally did as Jake described is putting in a reward to the TX origin so that MEV bots can process the transactions but there's also the way using the alt mem pool that 4337 proposes so we can do either of those depending on what the DAP wants further optimizations the 4337 user operation contains more gas parameters to take care of the way they do that but for when we want to do it the direct payment way we can again optimize those parameters out by not passing them in having a preceding function that then populates them with zeros and then from there we can do public key mapping so we have smaller data sent in for the larger public keys and also doing things like floating points if a bundle has a lot of variables that are actually within a specific range we don't need to pass in a UN 256-bit number for each of them we can actually have some smaller range for those so saving bytes wherever we can there's a lot of things we want to do there some of it just almost like a say a refactored phase we want to bring some of the stuff we have in our current wallet basically into modules so we may consider using save for that and some of the examples in 4337 and then we will inherently benefit from 4844 which is yet towards dank charting so when we take a step back what we're doing is lowering the transaction costs on layer 2 and when you do that it increases the number of viable applications that can be built or viable solutions that can be put out there to solve problems and I like to sort of visualize it like this on the x-axis we've got transaction costs and we have a lot of DeFi things going on and that works on layer 1 even if it's during a busy time and there's high gas costs a high value asset transfer is worth it you will pay $100 a transaction to move something of significant value similar if there's a hyped up NFT drop people will spend the gas to do it but that's not everyone that's kind of I would say a very small set of the population with rollups you can get cheaper transactions towards tens of cents or less and then you can casual gaming it warrants that you can spend tens of cents for a certain type of interaction and that works there but what we want to do is go towards this with EVM rollups adding the BLS signature scheme gives you some savings and obviously all the other things that reduce the layer 2 transaction cost will open up the applications towards microfinancing developing economies so this is where we are now we're live on Arbitrum Nitro Geoli testnet and we're going to be deploying to Arbitrum and Optimism after some order fixes and other layer 2s that EVM compatible or equivalent we'll seek to do wallet basically get this into wallets currently and to encourage dApps to use it so we'll first target applications where this will have a direct benefit to help price out users and of course support regular web 3 wallets with integration via 4337 because that seems to be where the attention is with wallets and further optimization will just be ongoing we'll look to do those other optimizations to make transactions cheaper for the wallets that already haven't integrated and of course things just get even better when 4844 drops so this is how it feels to me that we've got on the one hand a lot of real world problems that kind of a cut out from the web 3 solutions due to the cost per transaction but we hope that once that joins in that we will get these real world problems being solved by web 3 solutions and yeah we're just sort of looking forward to that time because I think that's when we'll get again a resurgence of a lot of activity we'll have a lot of users we'll actually be able to benefit from the primitives that we're building that everyone's building in the community so this is us with a web BLS wallet if you want to learn more check it out in browser demo it's at BLSwallet.org maybe don't hit it all at once in case it crashes but it'll be fine check it out Github, there's a Discord web 3 well and yeah are there any questions? OK I just have a question yeah OK again congratulations for the project it's going to be very useful to the community my question is when you create the wallet and make these changes you're proposing that is great you need also to update the clients because for instance to support the multiple transactions you want to sign it it's an amazing idea are you talking to the I don't know with an execution layer clients to help them to adapt their clients yeah how are being those conversations absolutely yeah so quite a while ago we started that journey we started contacting I think there was even end of last year started contacting some wallets just to see which ones might be interested how to begin that conversation and so it's a very good question we had some interest from wallets certain wallets are saying yes we want to do this it's quite interesting but with what we had it just seemed to not get integrated so there was a bit of a delay I think from wallets but we were also not live yet so I think once we're live that will be helpful when 4337 came about which is the on-chain account abstraction there was a lot of conversation interest around that standard and so maybe the wallets will integrate that standard sooner and then we can have those conversations again and to say look here is an implementation and these are the features of this one and I'm sure there'll be other implementations for other signature schemes so there will be a change on the wallet side so that they have to sign with a different signature scheme and then obviously in the UI and all that apart from the quill extension which is the basically a reference browser wallet we've also gone through a large design I guess yeah a large design a set of design to look at what future wallets can look like so these can form a bit of a you know a bit of design helpful wallets as well oh yeah okay yeah with the clients like a geth or nibbles are you talking to those teams sorry for a question no no that's okay no the diagram maybe shows it better well this is a bit slow yeah so the the nodes don't need to change so the clients that they say the aggregators here we go this one so at the moment we have a dedicated server that will do the bundling we've already had conversations with one particular layer 2 about this to say that they would want to integrate this so for us that's been not been the barrier we've heard great enthusiasm from the layer 2 networks to say as soon as wallets are doing this they're gonna put it in like the nodes have a vested interest to reduce their costs so like for us that's been a like that was I did an early litmus test in a sense to talk to them and they're like if this is in the wallets we'll put it in the next day almost like that was the the signal I got from them but as it stands this is one solution the 457 solution is a little different because I think it's an alternative mempool but yeah maybe check out their talk for more information on that we've got a couple of questions over oh sorry over here yep hey Jesse from Coinbase two questions one is if we're exploring kind of EIP3 437 is there anything specific we should be keeping in mind with BLS to make sure that there's like compatibility there just on the Coinbase side and then the second question is how does the atomicity actually work in the user operation transactions how's that actually implemented and like executed on the actual layer yeah I can cover for the BLS signatures both the current I think it's eth infantilism is the repo and our wallet under the covers are using the same BLS verification and solidity and also the same client libraries so they should be largely compatible for that yeah and regarding what's required on your side it would just be the signing like the client side would just need to sign the BLS signature for that part and then depending on which way you go directly or via 437 it would just be interacting with the contract wallets that it deploys the second question sorry what was the second one again the oh yeah sorry that's right so for the multi-actions we have a set of it's basically an array of actions inside a user operation and I think 437's done the same thing it's the same format that you can specify a set of actions I use a so yeah it's kind of a cascaded function so that I can call a try on one of them and so if one of the actions fails then it reverts and then so all of them revert within that try and then I catch and then I go into the next user operation so each user operation is in a loop and within there it calls the set of actions to the wallet and if one of the actions fails only the user operation is reverted not the rest of it because of the try catch which is nice that Solidity has that now yep who do you anticipate running these aggregator proxies? we hope that that gets merged into the nodes into the layer two nodes yeah to start out we would expect like a DApp would probably run its own aggregator proxy just to kind of like boost trap the process eventually it could potentially be like a larger swath of say like nodes having compatibility with that we also think that if we're able to kind of move more towards that like contract funding for the gas that will make it so it does not matter kind of where you submit it when it eventually is executed on chain that's when the actual like payment substitution will happen and so then it's less important but just to start out we're having that kind of more like centralized service just kind of get things going thanks for this presentation, appreciate it does Quilt have any sort of priority on test automation for end-to-end testing usability testing? seems like wallets right now don't pay very much attention to the user experience yeah good question what are users seeing, what are they clicking on? yeah definitely that's a very good question so firstly that Quilt isn't we don't want to release Quilt as a wallet it's meant to be like a reference implementation to show how other wallets can integrate the client we had considered spending more effort making the UI match the designs that have come about so the designs we have are there so if you go to our Discord I think in the design channel we have a link to the design brief that was done or does it, I forget what we call it as a whole but there's just been a large design process done to look at what wallets of the future can look like, multi-chain, multi-wallet and all of that being very usable so we've done that as more of an exercise to say this is what wallets can do but again we had considered putting that into Quilt but because we don't want to necessarily launch it we leave them there as reference implementations Quilt being the technical one and the design being for other wallets to learn from if that's a value so there was some user research done with that as well and yeah I think we still have some time for questions we've got another, yeah we've got a question at the front thank you so much this is amazing I'm just learning about BLS so don't mind if my question is too naive but with developments like ZK EVM on layer twos for signature aggregations and atomicity like I can basically do like as you showed like approve and then transfer like a bunch of things what do you think about like recursive proofs so if I have like multiple transactions I have each proof and I take them and just submit recursive proofs so in that case how like how do we think about developments in ZK EVM and BLS are going to get yeah I think and you might have a thought on this too James I think we haven't really fully looked into what it's going to look like but we think this wallet BLS wallet ecosystem would work in any EVM compatible system and so we might be able to even reduce some of the data that needs to be proved or run over in those ZK EVM setups but we haven't done a ton of experimentation yet to see that I think but there is the possibility that it will help I think that's our time that's our time thank you thanks everyone alright thank you so much for that next up is a talk by Patrick who claims to be an intern at Infura and in the past has been an assistant professor at many universities please welcome Patrick for his talk on validating bridges, roll-ups and plasmas


in this discussion we will discuss the discussion question of describe depreciation and what is needed to calculate it. So depreciation is going to be something that will be related to property plants and equipment. So if we see an essay question like this we may want to have a quick start in terms of what is property plant and equipment so that we can then talk about the depreciation related to it. So property plants and equipment is going to be something that is going to be a fixed asset, typically a tangible asset. It's typically something that's going to have a useful life more than a year and therefore we put it on the books as an asset rather than expensing it at the point of purchase and then we need to allocate that cost to the useful life in which it will be used. That will be the process of depreciation. When we think about depreciation we might want to start off with a journal entry because that can really help us to jog our memory as to what is going on. If nothing else if we don't know anything else about depreciation just saying what the debit and credit are and then what the effect is on the account equation could pick up points from there. So depreciation the journal entry for is the debit depreciation expense credit accumulated depreciation. So we pretty much just want to memorize that and then you can kind of think through that what is that doing. Depreciation expense is an expense account which is going to increase the expense with a debit expense is always pretty much go up and that'll bring net income down. So when we record depreciation what are we doing? We're allocating a cost of the equipment and we're decreasing the net income or increasing an expense and decreasing net income. The other side of it is a little bit more confusing because it doesn't have the word expense in it so it's called accumulated depreciation. It also has a credit balance which is confusing because it's actually an asset account and assets typically have a debit balance. So the accumulated depreciation is our contra asset account and that means that it's an asset account with a account balance contra to the norm a credit balance rather than a debit balance and that is going to actually be reducing the assets. So it's reducing the value of the assets that are still on the books. So depreciation is the recording of the expense. It's the allocation of the expense for the cost of the equipment over that equipment's useful life and what we're going to do is record the expense and the other side will be accumulated depreciation and the accumulated depreciation will help us to record the book value and show our reader a couple different things. One it'll show them what the cost is because we didn't write down the actual property plans and equipment. It'll show how much we think the estimated accumulated depreciation the accumulated decline in value is and then it'll show us the book value by subtracting the two. To calculate depreciation we're going to need a few different factors. We're going to need to know the cost of the equipment the useful life of the equipment and the salvage value. We could use a few different ways to calculate depreciation straight line method. We could use some accelerated method like double decline in balance method. We can use a units of production type method in order to calculate the depreciation.


I think 18 days out to come out the way you did. How were you able to do that? Yeah, I stayed prepared throughout my rehab, through with three innings last Saturday in Tampa. And both in and between that outing and today and felt pretty good. I was going to say, did everything feel OK physically for you out there? Yeah, yeah, everything felt great. Like I said, last Saturday was pretty good. Hit a lot of points I wanted to hit. And today was just about commanding and giving my team the best shot to win. Not the end result you guys would have liked as a team, but do you leave this in courage? Personally, just not what you felt. Yeah, yeah, I mean, obviously, we wanted to ruin that game. But as far as for me, going forward, I think my pitch count is going to be built up. And body-wise, I feel good.  No, no. I spoke to Boone before the game. I was on a pitch count, obviously. He told me about it. So I was in a good spot. But that pitch count came up and I had to get out of the game.
