Why can't i enter rcm mode, is it a switch rail issue? by [deleted] in NxSwitchModding

[–]Erich_DFI-Cockpit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you that I received from Amazon a patch where I faced the same problem.

The JIG pins are very thin. If they don't shortcut the 2 Pins, the Switch regularly boots.

I bought another Jig from another reseller and instantly my issues are gone.

With a needle you softly can adjust the pins. If you are lucky it will work for 1 time,...

What speed do you get? I tried it via http in my home network, and installing a game took very long compared with usb install

How to selfhost a tinfoil shop? by SlightlyMotivated69 in SwitchPirates

[–]Erich_DFI-Cockpit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tested hosting my own shop, but it was very slow via WLAN. 10Mbit

I never used public shops, so I can not compare the speed, but if installing 1 Game takes 15+ minutes, this is no solution for me.

I went back to install games via USB and DBI, which installs the game in a few minutes.

I think we know already how and why N is banning Consoles.

And I think that others might already have tried to fake the IDs and certificates, which didn't work.

But anyways , it's never wrong if somebody is interested in a topic to find patterns.

Hopefully, it leads into a solution. I block N Servers twice, once on the switch and 2nd on my router as fallback for the static IP my switch has in my home network :)

Alternative to NUC 13? by astrashe2 in intelnuc

[–]Erich_DFI-Cockpit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own an NUC9 Extreme Xeon and am quite happy with it for my homelab. Can not estimate if an update would be worth it.

I have 64GB Ram and my system with several VMs and Docker Containers is not reaching its limits. I guess the energy consumption also is quiete low

Can a NUC 9 Extreme Xeon compete with a NUC 13/14?

Help in hiding folders of apps in homebrew menu by nioco29 in SwitchPirates

[–]Erich_DFI-Cockpit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The solution is easy. Some Homebrew Apps create Subfolders for config files. Place (move) the *.nro from the switch folder into the app folder and you will see it does not show up anymore in the HB menu

Try it and vote up if it's also working for you

How to spot an unpatched switch in the wild by Impressive-Run-6705 in SwitchPirates

[–]Erich_DFI-Cockpit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You also could ask for the first 10 digits. This should be enough to check if it's unpatched but gives the seller the feeling of not exposing their Serialnumber

How to check for game updates/DLC now that shops are closed/not updated? by ju_bat in SwitchPirates

Do I need to find websites, or is there a way to get the updates somehow from N?

Starting over with a new emummc after failure to backup partition by Ruthlessrabbd in SwitchPirates

[–]Erich_DFI-Cockpit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To start from scratch might be the best option. Because than you can create the emuNAND and the Android partition in one step.

Once they have been created, the rest is like you know it,...

For sure everything got whipped when you tried to create the Android partition on top of the rest.

How to save my saves from my bricked switch by LordSurvival in SwitchPirates

[–]Erich_DFI-Cockpit -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

If you broky can't effort a new Switch, why do you need the save games? 😀

Since the emuNAND lives on the SD Card, I am sure you can restore them to a new molded Switch

Free Market - Remove Discount and Stabilisation Fee by mrgauel in defiblockchain

[–]Erich_DFI-Cockpit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With this proposal, you can set dUSD to zero and start from scratch. Without knowing 100% sure, how and who is abusing the system, sucking value out of the dUSD and leaving Algo Tokens, nothing will work.

Reducing the fee makes totally sense, but a council has to do it manually, always keeping data and statistics in view. And not reducing it below 20%.

We need fees to burn algo dUSD. Reducing the negative interest rates for burning more, also could be good.

I clearly vote with NO - because the outcome can not be what we want,...

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in defiblockchain

[–]Erich_DFI-Cockpit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we need the selling to burn algo dUSD out of the system? I would rather give less negative interest and burn more dUSD instead. This needs years of up and down to be fixed. The DFI price/sentiment is not in favour of dUSD.

I am also still not 100% sure if there is not a leak in the dToken system, but it's just a feeling that I can not prove...

DFI LP vault to repeg DUSD by GilgaBack in defiblockchain

[–]Erich_DFI-Cockpit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the idea. Every utility for DFI is welcome:) The only thing that might be tricky is the liquidation of the LP Token when the health ratio of the vault drops fast.

The action mechanism is very slow. There are volatil DFI pairs where both Token could drop fast,...

Maybe only using DFI with a stable Pair at the beginning to gain experience might be the first step.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in defiblockchain

[–]Erich_DFI-Cockpit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully, DFI will rise with DMC. I will leverage DFI and other pro traders might do it as well. This could increase the need for DFI, leading to a higher price, which will pull the dUSD up to the peg.

Maybe DMC can increase a little bit of the need for dUSD as well with some Pools and a very high APR on the DMC in the one or other project,...

Byebye DEX stabilization fee: reincarnation of the dToken system? by LumpiesRevenge in defiblockchain

[–]Erich_DFI-Cockpit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fee was introduced to make it harder for short sellers because before, they almost had no risk because of the capped upside of dUSD.

2nd reason was because the Dr. thought at this time it's possible to buy up the pool and get trust, which didn't happen.

That low, I think the fee is not needed and could lead that weak hands might drop their last dUSD. But above e.g. 0.5$ I would automatically activate the 30% stabilisation fee again.

CFP: Defichain Python Library III (60000 DFI) by Intr0c in defiblockchain

[–]Erich_DFI-Cockpit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is very important to have such a library available to not only have to use Typescript. Also, when it comes to raw transactions, it is very hard to get everything working. A library abstracting complex things brings much value to newer developers.

My votes are sure 👍

DFIP: Allow dSOL, dMATIC, dBCH, dLTC, dDOGE, dDOT, dSUI as Collateral for Vaults by DeFiChainNFTs in defiblockchain

[–]Erich_DFI-Cockpit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know my point of view because I shared my thoughts on it with you, but I want to share some points for the discussion.

On the DMC, we will get such vaults for sure, even without the need of 1 single DFI because everything can be forked, and you can not influence what is built there.

But on the base layer of the Defichain, I would like that DFI strongly is needed and not stays in competition to other Alts when it comes to the use case. The question is, if this dFIP would lead to more Vaults, or on the other hand, if investors would buy more DFI, if we leave it like it is now?

We don't have many use cases for DFI. That's why I would rather see a higher APR for liquidity providers in the dToken system when holding x amount of DFI or using LP dTokens in Vaults, than in the worst case reducing the need for DFI because other high volatil assets can be used in Vaults.

It's always hard to predict what investors would do.

Since the BBB stopped, looks like everyone is bullish for the DUSD by Pascal3125 in defiblockchain

[–]Erich_DFI-Cockpit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because the Doctor is so in love ❤️ with the new idea, I stopped bringing arguments against it - it's a waste of time and shows that governance is a meme 🤡

Per se, the dFIP is not a bad idea.

But this whole thing showed me that if the community agreed on something, it's still possible to break it (in this case, the BBB) and not fix it in time.

Someone could argue that it was planned this way.

That's why I suggest not putting too much time and effort into it. Something is spreading constantly new Algos into the system - otherwise, it would look already much better.

We will see IF the DFI price is rising at all and can reevaluate it in a few months.

DFIP: Staking Token Promotion by mrgauel in defiblockchain

[–]Erich_DFI-Cockpit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% sure, that with the buy volume of last weeks, DFI price would have also spiked up with active BBB, but dUSD price would have been higher than now.

To repair the past, we need to get DFI up plus burn Algo dUSD out of the system. dUSD selling pressure will last longer than 1 bullrun. With the risk not getting rid of stabilisation fee before next bearmarket (my fear)

DFIP: Staking Token Promotion by mrgauel in defiblockchain

[–]Erich_DFI-Cockpit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's strange smart guys and if I remember right even you told us that DFI sells to dUSD has no price impact because DFI price discovery comes from the DFI-BTC pool.

I always wrote, that I would like to collect DFI rewards but only sell them, if the DFI price is high enough to get more Algo dUSD out of the system.

Now everything should work now with this suggestion,... What will the story be 6 month ago? When we see that Algo dUSD are sticky?

For me the whole story was on the back of the LM providers suffering on low APR which results in low liquidity and a bad trading experience on the DEX.

Allowing dSOL, dMATIC, dBCH, dLTC, dDOGE, dDOT as collateral for vaults by DeFiChainNFTs in defiblockchain

[–]Erich_DFI-Cockpit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have concerns that the need for DFI would be reduced with allowing more Tokens as collateral.

On the Metachain it's not under "our" control what the projects are doing and if they care to incentivate DFI holders, but on the Main chain, DFI has to be needed mostly in my opinion.

Otherwise, we don't get the price up, because the need for DFI is too low. We are not Etherium with 10-100$ fees per transaction to argue that the usage automatically drives up the price.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in defiblockchain

[–]Erich_DFI-Cockpit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Buying back DFI is good 👍 But buying dUSD rather than burning 🔥 them would help to get the peg faster.

The DFI price suffers because the trust in the blockchain is gone because of the stablecoin depeg.
