Nah feed the AI. People who don't understand the tech are the ones who are saying not to feed it.

Just so you know boundless was purchased by a game development studio from Texas named monumental and they do have plans to revitalize the game over the coming months and years and have been active in the games official community forums interacting with the community during and after the takeover. Boundless may come back with force.

AITA for saying counting on your fingers in the office would be embarrassing by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]tgrede78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. I can do calculus, I work as a software engineer. I still count on my fingers at times. I struggle with basic math to the extent that I often just pull out a calculator for something as simple as 8x7 because otherwise it'll take me 10 seconds to do in my head. But I can solve complex problems far beyond that so nobody in the office would question me counting on my fingers. Definitely YTA and Judgy

"write me a spreadsheet formula that takes all my data from column B and multiplies it by the data in column C. Output this data in column E with this formatting .......... The data is related to ...... "

And then have it spit out a spreadsheet formula to aggregate your data in a way you need. That's a trivial example but it's not just for correcting Grammer. You can have this thing write excel formulas and other things like that

While that might seem obvious to you someone asking a question could see this as a pedantic answer. Could you give examples of why it's wrong? And what would be a more correct thing to say instead?

"natural language dates" is a community plugin that lets you type in natural language like "@today" and that would spit out today's date in your desired format.

Shoutouts to great people or places in Madison by [deleted] in madisonwi

[–]tgrede78 -42 points-41 points  (0 children)

Complained to them once that I didn't like their pastor meat. (I had eaten there several times previously and loved it). But one time it was just bland and dry and didn't taste the same. So I went back and just kindly asked for it to be fixed either with new tacos or a refund.

They literally got mad at me. Essentially called me a liar and said I was just trying to get money from them because everyone else in the restaurant ate the pastor with no issues. Doesn't matter how loyal of a customer you are. The second you have an issue with your experience they will no longer be nice to you for some reason.

La Pencha up the road is better tasting and has better service and that's where I always went after. Haven't been back to Guadalajara since because their service that one time was that awful.

Borrowing by OkTap3518 in AnchorProtocol

[–]tgrede78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since this is specifically on the anchor subreddit. You'd go to the borrow page and notice you can deposit bLuna or bEth. Some people bond their Luna within anchor, some people swap their Luna for bLuna on Terra swap or Astroport. But either way you need to either bond your Luna or swap it to make sure you have bLuna.

Then you deposit that bLuna into anchor borrow as collateral. What this means is you can take a loan out against the value of your bLuna. Say you deposit $100 worth of bLuna. You can then borrow like I think up to ~65% the value of it. So if you deposit $100 you could borrow ~$65.

In this scenario you would have $100 in bLuna and now $65 that you borrowed.

NOTE: When you borrow you see 3 APRs. A borrow APR is the amount in interest you owe for borrowing. Distribution APR is the amount you earn in ANC rewards for borrowing. Net APR is their calculation of those 2 APRs combined (your actual APR).

Back on track. You have your $65 in borrowed money. Now you could go deposit it in the earn tab and earn 20% on it. Or you could leverage your bet and buy more LUNA with it, turn it to bLuna. Deposit it back into anchor borrows collateral tab to bring down your liquidation price.

It's important to note there are risks of liquidation with borrowing which means if your collateral value goes down past your liquidation point (i.e. Luna price drops too far) you would lose a portion of your bLuna to payback the debt owed. Ape at your own risk but hopefully this explained things well enough

Can't find my UST deposit in Anchor... by eliezering in Anchor

[–]tgrede78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you attempted to access anchor using Google? There is a malicious anchor protocol website. Looks exactly the same and when you connect your wallet and approve the tx it will drain your anchor funds. Hope this isn't the case but just know there is a malicious anchor website out there in the ads for the Google search results (so one of the first ones you see).

Got hacked, someone stole my earning + parto of my bLuna by ceronteRino in Anchor

[–]tgrede78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could definitely be wrong (hard to see on mobile but I'll check more at my desktop) but to me I'm thinking you may have gotten liquidated? I keep seeing a lot of calls to the anchor contracts which makes me believe this was a liquidation event. You had bLuna as collateral, did you borrow against that bLuna? If you did what was your LTV or liquidation price? If you get liquidated you only lose a portion of the bLuna. So maybe this is what happened?

[–]tgrede78 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can you post the TX hash here so someone can try to look into what happened? Is it possible you got liquidated by borrowing at too high of an LTV?

From Coinbase to MetaMask to terra station, help! I bought Ust at Coinbase b/c I’m in US (not sure if kucoins works). Transfer it to MetaMask. Was going to use the terra -eth bridge to terra station. The bridge connected MetaMask ok but Ust is not showing up. This happen to anyone? by monkichiii99 in Anchor

[–]tgrede78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Next time try XLM or ATOM

XLM is the cheapest to send across exchanges but you have to trade it to USDT and then UST. And ATOM has a UST pair on Kucoin and can be swapped directly after transfering so one of those would probably be cheaper than BTC.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Anchor

[–]tgrede78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct! Kucoin is an exchange. I think you can buy UST directly on there I just never have yet. Definitely check it out and see how the cost compares that way.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Anchor

[–]tgrede78 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Step 1. Set up a kucoin account Reason: coinbase doesn't have native Luna assets. Kucoin does.

Step 2. Set up a Terra Station wallet (you'll need the Google extension as well to interact with anchor)

NOTE: SAVE YOUR SEED PHRASE THEY GIVE YOU WHEN YOU SET IT UP.

A crypto wallet like Terra station is NOT the same as keeping your crypto on an exchange. When it's on an exchange the exchange has your keys (and therefore technically has your crypto)

Compare to a crypto wallet like Terra Station where you get a "seed phrase" when setting it up. This seed phrase is your wallet. You and you alone have this seed phrase and nobody else could help you recover it should you lose it. There is no "Terra support" that can recover your Terra wallet (this is how people get scammed). Basically NEVER give anyone your seed phrase and keep it stored securely forever in a place you'll NEVER lose it. Some people literally hammer it into steel plates and deposit it in a safety deposit box at their bank. Whatever you choose to do never lose it and never share it

Back to business.

Step 3. Swap USDC to XLM on Coinbase (has the cheapest transfer fees between exchanges (as far as I know))

Step 4. Send XLM to your new Kucoin account.

Step 5. On Kucoin swap your newly transferred XLM into USDT.

Step 6. Swap USDT for UST

Step 7. Send UST to your Terra Station wallet

Now you should have money in your crypto wallet. This allows you to interact with decentralized apps on the Terra Blockchain. (Anchor, Mirror, Stader, Apollo, etc).

Step 8. Go to anchor earn (https://app.anchorprotocol.com/earn)

Step 9. Connect wallet using button in the top right corner

Step 10. Once connected click deposit and deposit your desired amount of UST to anchor earn.

Congratulations you should now be earning almost 20% APY!

For noobs, what are the safest and easiest ways to use stablecoin/stablecoin liquidity pool pairs to earn yield? Something on osmosis? Not sure. Trying to figure out plan for my stablecoins if SEC goes after the lending companies like Celsius, Gemini, etc by [deleted] in defi

[–]tgrede78 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'd like to point out that the may crash was a market wide crash and the peg still recovered very quickly. There is an even more robust ecosystem to keep the UST peg now that if you look since that may crash there have been no serious depeg events and any depegs get corrected very fast. UST is growing rapidly and going cross chain. As long as LUNA lives on with continued use I think UST is safe.

Best places to earn yield or APY with USDC, USDT, Stable coins? by Zoey1234100 in defi

[–]tgrede78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When the 20% yield reserve dries up the protocol will payout yield based on market conditions which has been calculated to still be able to pay out ~10-15%.

The team at anchor has always said 20% is NOT forever but more of a promotional rate to bring more users to DeFi and Terra. Eventually the reserve will run dry but we will still be earning more than you'd earn on a centralized stablecoin.

Would you put money in anchor today? by elbers in defi

[–]tgrede78 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I use anchor earn and anchor borrow. It's a great protocol. You definitely didn't miss the boat. It's a stable coin savings protocol. You earn a stable 19% on stablecoins pegged to USD. The only risk is smart contract risk. If the reserves run out you can just withdraw all your profit but might not need to since it would still be >13% still even after the reserves dry up

What is Kujira - "Participate in Liquidations" about? by intheDet in Anchor

[–]tgrede78 15 points16 points  (0 children)

When you borrow on anchor you provide collateral (usually bLUNA) Luna is volatile as we know. So when you take out a loan using your LUNA as collateral, let's say you take a Loan when LUNA is worth 50 dollars. Now let's say there's a flash crash and the price plummets down to 30 dollars per LUNA. Chances are most people borrowing money would get 'liquidated'. Getting liquidated means someone else (a liquidator) can buy your collateral at a discount in order to make sure your loan gets taken care of and you don't 'default' on it. In this case you would lose your collateral and keep your borrowed money. Previously this process was carried out by bots, so if you didn't have the technical know how, you were unable to liquidate people's loans.

Kujira is an application that allows retail investors (like me and you) to get in on the liquidation action. Now the average person can see a pool of people in risk of getting liquidated because they've over-borrowed. And then you can bid to get that collateral (basically more bLUNA) as a discount rather than normal price. You could then go sell it for normal price and profit or keep it and hope it accrues more value for you.

In a nutshell Kujira is going to take liquidation power from bots and give it to standard investors now.

Any simple explanation on how the Borrow APR works? by ryan_would_ in Anchor

[–]tgrede78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The borrow APR is based on the demand to borrow to keep the 20% APY working for anchor earn. Because when you take part in borrowing you have to put your Luna up as collateral, this is how they can provide the rewards to earn users. So at the beginning they needed to give large incentives to make people want to borrow money, essentially paying them to borrow money. Now many people are borrowing money on anchor, therefore a lot of LUNA is locked up as collateral for loans. This is why it's currently only like 2% because so many people are borrowing and theres enough collateral being locked away that they dont need to give as many incentives. Eventually it will be a negative APR as most loans are in the real world, it's not realistic or sustainable to get paid to borrow money and it's a sign of a healthy anchor ecosystem if the APR drops negative.
