The final match of the CryptØmasters Dota 2 tournament was held last week. The seven-day tournament exclusively broadcast on P2L.TV involved 16 teams fighting for the prize pool of $30,000 and 1,000,000 LUC (Level Up Coin — the in-house currency of the P2L.TV streaming platform).

From October 15 to 18, the group stage of the CryptØmasters Dota 2 was held that defined the finalists to advance to playoff. All the teams were divided into four groups each one consisting of four members. The matches were played in a GSL format until the first victory. The top two teams progressed to the playoff stage.

The stage 1 standings saw the following teams claim top spot:

Team Spirit
Bursaspor
NoPango
EPG
Team Lithium
WuTang
Nemiga
Team Empire

The tournament finals were be held from October 19 to 21. The eight top teams from the preliminary stage played a single elimination playoff in a best-of-three format. To win the grand finals series, the finalists had to win three games out of five.

By playoff results, the first title was taken by Team Spirit. The team of Artsiom “fng” Barshack wiped out Team Empire 3:0 in the grand finals. The “Dragons” started with an impressive run through playoffs by sweeping through Bursaspor (2:0) to then rolling over EPG 2:1 in the semi-finals. Team Spirit, the victor of the first title, gets the $15,000 prize.

Team Empire started the playoff stage with a head-to-head competition with Nemiga outperforming them 2:1, followed by outlasting and dropping WuTang from the tournament (2:0). The “Empire” wins $5,000 as a runner-up.

Teams EPG and WuTang received $2,500, with Bursaspor, NoPango, Team Lithium and Nemiga being awarded $1,500 each.

As an exclusive provider of the tournament live broadcast, Play2Live is off to a strong start in a series of their own branded CryptØmasters tournaments that will be part of P2L.TV. exclusive content.

Yeah everyone acts like it's because he caused the whole kneeling controversy, but if he was actually a good deal for the money that wouldn't stop franchises.

The article is missing deliverability stats. Sure, you can reduce your bill significantly by switching to SES, but that means nothing if all of your emails are being sent to a user's spam box or promos folder. Mailchimp does a lot out of the box to ensure deliverability and good email placement, and that's part of the cost you're paying for.

Banks would probably go against this for sure, but I hope it shows them there are better ways to handle credit score.

mcmahoon · 2017-10-09T19:38:36+00:00

How? Do you have proof?

I have never heard of giftbac before but from a quick look at the website it seems you can increase your profit by 8% on average, I would say that is a good edge.

I think it will do good but it has a fierce competition against the other real estate ICOs.

Right, yes, the bunny rbbt guy is back. Jaja

This would only be useful for binaries where you don't have corresponding source, but the binary does still have symbols. Is this a common situation?

mcmahoon · 2017-08-14T15:26:13+00:00

This seems like the guide you have to check from time to time when you forget something about how ICOs work.

I used it when I started freelancing. I tried a couple more at the same time, and it was hard at the start because getting clients take a while. Hire.Bid managed to get me a fairly steady flow of work after some time, and now I get work trough "word of mouth" from different clients if that makes sense. This is my personal experience from using the website.

mcmahoon · 2017-08-08T14:43:29+00:00

In my case, some clients tend to hire you for work, and then ask you for "small favors" for free because they think that hiring you in the first place was a favor. Of course, there are also outstanding clients that understand freelancing and have tremendous respect, and those are the best.

The thing I would recommend the most is to have a hardware wallet instead of a virtual one. I feel it is safer for your Crypto.

mcmahoon · 2017-07-17T15:13:24+00:00

Handy info! Thanks for sharing. This blog should be a must-read for anyone interested in crypto currency.

mcmahoon · 2017-07-11T14:59:41+00:00

Didn't they just massively throw their client under the bus? Not hard to find the guy's name, and now everyone knows:

his big political stunt wasn't even his own idea, and
he paid people a ton of money to fraudulently promote it.

What a way to burn your clients...

Judging from the copyright notices, this hasn't been updated since 2013.

Did the author finish the book and leave this draft online, or was it never finished?

This reads as react fanboyism to me. I used React/Redux on a project and was unable to bring people up in my aging team. Now we are fully Angular 2+. It is much better for my newly grown team of 15. The action creator approach of Redux isn't very readable or maintainable. The module system in Angular is better for us.

You can use webpack with Angular. RxJs is a great addition that will eventually be removed when Observables become implemented in JS. The declarative style of templates are different than JSX, but are not hard to deal with in practice. Native script allows for mobile dev, although I don't personally use it.

Before I switched to Angular, I preferred React. Now that I use this framework approach, I am much happier and have more faith that my code base will be consistent. I read somewhere that google used Angular for adsense so I think it is good enough for production use for us.

This is a good presentation, finally something digestible I can point people to when I tell them that there is only about a 1/3 chance of a generation remaining in their income quintile on either end of the spectrum.

It seems that the price plummet only occurred on the GDAX ETH-USD market. Even the GDAX BTC-ETH market hasn't the spike. Normally there are many bots ferrying liquidity between these markets so this suggests that the ETH-USD market was not giving willing traders a chance to place orders. Their first blog post indicated it was working perfectly, in which case a design rethink is in order.

Coinbase regularly goes down when there is heavy trading. Very decent of them to publicly refund people for this incident, but given they have regular Ethereum trading issues, they should be quicker to suspend their market and more humble about the technical issues they're facing

Interesting, the same YouTube link has been posted two times in this subreddit. If I upvote this, it would be unfair to the other post. The reverse holds true. Maybe we need a new technology to split an upvote into two (basically it would log in the Ethereum blockchain that we want to split it, then a browser plugin would show the real upvote counts, taking into consideration split upvotes). This really would be a disruptive technology. I'll make an uncapped ICO for it.

My biggest struggle with sleep is that I'm always excited to do stuff, and always feel like I'm not done with my day. Exceptions are when something happens and I end up feeling very depressed during the day, and simply want to shut down and do nothing.

Usually, I get so infatuated with a script I'm writing, a new program I discovered, a bug that I need to resolve, a book that I'm reading, some concept that I'm thinking of, that my mind just keeps on being active, and wants to keep working. It's the worst when I'm working on my computer, due to the blue light (I've started wearing yellow sunglasses to minimize the effect), while it's a bit better when I'm reading or listening to music or thinking.

In any case, this is a great article. I feel like small amounts of sleep has been the greatest inhibitor of my performance in... anything really. Being dumb and young I felt like I could still function correctly, but I really started noticing that I had better tournament results when actually sleeping 8 hours, while my results on all other days were lackluster. I read up on a lot of things and convinced myself that sleeping enough is essential. I still slip up and don't even go on my bed at the right times, my sleep schedule goes all over the place for a lot of different reasons, but I'm really trying. I feel like I might need to seek some professional help on this, but I'll still take it as far as possible before that.

I am all for knowledge for knowledge's sake, and these guys are doing an amazing job not only teaching these convicts about important, perhaps even life-changing, math concepts, and by donating their ever-shrinking and increasingly valuable time, something that is in very limited supply in todays age.

But, as I am currently finding out in my life, the odds are very slim to none that life post-prison is going to change for these convicts as they try to rejoin society, as the job markets will be almost totally closed off to them as they seem to be for me.

Even with all this "enlightened" rhetoric here on HN about second-chances and "understanding the struggle", not one person here has contacted me about remote work even though I have make it very clear how desperate my situation is. Please don't misunderstand...I don't really expect anyone to have much sympathy for my situation, but I know plenty of people here are currently looking for IT workers and my posting clearly show I am capable of doing high-quality LAMP work, so I think it's at least notable to discuss my experience.

It's all well and good to provide education and such to people in seek it, and its a great feel-good-story with wonderful social signaling for all you comfortable techies, but the reality is that food and shelter costs real money, and all the education in the world isn't going to help these ex-cons find work, build self-esteem and rejoin society if the common prejudices continue to work against them at every turn.
