While the satire in this post highlights some of the absurdities surrounding the college experience, it's also crucial to have resources that can aid you academically. I recently came across a <a href=\"https://medium.com/@george.kv/paperial-a-comprehensive-review-2024-9bc26e767186\">read https://medium.com/@george.kv/paperial-a-comprehensive-review-2024-9bc26e767186</a> of a helpful college tool that might be of interest. Balancing humor with practical advice, this post underscores the importance of making informed decisions about higher education. Thanks for sharing, Alex!",

      "body": "The most intelligent way to start making a lot of money is to find a way to get at least $100,000 in debt before you even begin making money, so this is why you should go to college.\n#\nCollege isn't for most people it's for all people. If you don't get a degree then you're declaring you want to be homeless, unhappy and a failure for the rest of your life. \n#\nHaving a college degree has now been the standard for so long that everyone in the workforce has one. So, you having one makes you just like everyone else and at the same time somehow your degree sets you apart from everyone else. If you don't see the brilliance and how this helps you then you're not very intelligent and you clearly didn't go to college.\n#\nYour college degree is social validation that your are someone. You earned it and you earned it by paying for it, there's no other ways to verify that you’re an intelligent person capable of success in doing big things in the world. \n#\nImagine that people were born with brilliance, potential, vision, creativity and ability then we wouldn't need college. But that's not the fantasy world that we live in from what I’am told. So, I think, it's important to acknowledge that those qualities are only found in university education.\n#\nIf you don't go to college there's no chance that you'll have a successful career. Success isn't dependent on hard work, vision and creativity, it's solely dependent on the degree you achieve before you even start achieving in your career. I can't think of anyone who's successful who doesn't have a degree not a single person especially not anybody that inspires me what excites me. \n#\nEven more than $100,000 of tuition costs for a degree and all the interests that you have the opportunity to pay on that loan, this has even more value to your college education because it means you pay more for your education than what your education costs… because you can't afford your education.  \n#\nTeachers, who only teach a subject rather than actually doing the subject out in the world, are the true purveyors of wisdom. They're, basically, like the wise elders in our society and they're, definitely, the wise sages that you’re willing to go into debt for half  of your life for so you can learn from them.\n#\nFrom early elementary school you were taught to think that you need to do well in school so that you can get accepted into college, so that you can have a successful career. Since that's what you was taught to think, that's what you should actually think, therefore, getting a degree is not only a guarantee that you'll have a successful future, but you would think that it's the only way you can have a successful future. That's a fact because there isn't a way to get free information about anything anytime you want it. \n#\nI think, universities are completely justified in charging the prices that they do because 30 years ago a college degree would set you apart, it means it still does today. It's just like once upon a time a horse and buggy was the most effective form of transportation. Then came cars then came, airplanes, but even still to this day a horse and buggy is the most effective form of transportation.\n#\nWhat kind of job would you have now that you are out of college? You, probably, would be unemployed, but don’t worry, you can always get a job at the local McDonalds restaurant!!!\n\n![college people.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSm13JujWhWtYxxJBT9TnLozGWiALMZe8cWsr9B3YzKG1/college%20people.jpg)\n\n_____________________________________\nPlease up-vote, share and follow  😊😊😊\n\nCheers!!!\n~Alex!",

Also some folks don't care about the technology and the idea behind the cryptos, all they care is getting returns.

      "title": "Cryptocurrencies in financial world, are the cryptos going to explode?",
      "body": "Back in 2009 when we first heard about Bitcoins, thanks to Satoshi Nakamoto, no one could've predicted what bitcoins would've become in the last 8 years. It was even harder to imagine the wave of innovation and financialization what will follow the digital assets.\n![Wall_Street_Sign.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmV2VusTmqnnr1ByYtGAFghqrqeYjszoJu8pRtzmfBhU3L/Wall_Street_Sign.jpg)\nOriginally, Bitcoins, Litecoins and alike were considered as the instruments of wealth preservation - aka digital gold, as well as medium of transaction - aka digital currency. As the realm of cryptospace evolved, so did the uses and types of crypto tokens. As adoption of cryptocurrency technology continues to increase, a number of crypto products have emerged to support investments, raising of venture capital and even preparing for retirement.\n#\nTwo most common crypto products used by financial institution  are ICOs (initial coin offering) and crypto currencies ETFs (Exchange-traded fund) or trusts.\n#\n## Crypto currencies ETFs\n#\nA new [Bitcoin ETF proposed by Winklevoss twins](http://www.businessinsider.com/bitcoin-price-crashes-after-the-sec-rejects-the-wiklevoss-twins-etf-2017-3) in March this  year, was infamously rejected. Another Bitcoins ETF that was proposed a few days later was also rejected. Yet, another institution - [Grayscale’s Bitcoin Investment Trust (GBTC)](https://grayscale.co/bitcoin-investment-trust/)  - is seeking approval of its newly proposed ETF. The decision should be made by September of this year. I would like to point out that Grayscale already lunched [Ethereum classic ETF](http://www.coindesk.com/grayscale-ethereum-classic-vehicle/) earlier this year.\n#\n> The Ethereum Classic Investment Trust enables investors to gain exposure to the price movement of ETC through a traditional investment vehicle, without the challenges of buying, storing, and safekeeping ETC.\n> -- [Grayscale](https://grayscale.co/ethereum-classic-investment-trust/)\n#\nYou might think, why would you buy Bitcoin or Ethereum ETF when you can simply buy Bitcoins and Ethereum token directly? There are a couple of reasons from investor prospective. Investors do not necessarily want to go thru the process of buying and storing the crypto tokens. While some of us take certain aspects of cryptocurrencies for granted, many investors are not educated about cryptocurrencies and not willing to take risks of buying and storing it safely.\n#\nAnother reason to use ETFs is that most insurance companies are hesitant to get involved into cryptocurrency space due to security concerns and issues with custodial rights of the crypto. Also, some institutions are restricted to invest only in certain financial instruments in which ETFs would come handy.\n#\nThis would lead to crypto price explosion if ETFs get approval as the majority of the money has yet to enter the sector.\n## ICOs\n#\nICOs are somewhat similar to Initial Public Offering (IPO), but significantly less regulated and rigorous. ICOs are primarily used by startups to raise capital from venture capitalists or banks. ICOs are good news for entrepreneurs as they can raise fund by going directly to the investors or target audience.  Also, ICOs offer great flexibility on the return on the investments, for instance, ICOs my issue buybacks of their shares when the company hits a certain benchmark. Also, ICO tokens can be traded on open market, potentially at much higher price.\n#\nOK then, how much do startup raise and how quickly you would ask? [One of  the Mozilla co-founders startup - Brave - has recently raised $35mln in 30 seconds](http://www.coindesk.com/35-million-30-seconds-token-sale-internet-browser-brave-sells/).\n\nThere seems to me an endless list of ICOs nowadays. \n## BTC IRAs\n#\nHave you ever though of retiring on Bitcoins? Not a problem. Here is your [Bitcoin IRA](https://bitcoinira.com/), the company created and managed by the former US Mint Director, Ed Moy, who offers investments in BTC as well as upcoming Ethereum IRA in ETH.\n#\nBitcoint IRA is no different from regular IRA. You can choose between Roth IRA (invest your after tax dollars) or traditional IRA (invest with pretax dollars). You can start withdrawing funds (without penalty) at the age of 59 1/2. \n#\nIf you still have doubts whether crypto currencies can work as retirement vehicles, here is a quote from [Fidelity Investments CEO, Abigail Johnson](https://www.financemagnates.com/cryptocurrency/news/bitcoin-litecoin-ethereum-coming-soon-fidelity-investments-website/)\n>I love this stuff – bitcoin, ethereum, blockchain technology – and what the future holds\n\n_____________________________________________________________\nPlease share, upvote and follow if you like the content.\n\nCheers!!!\n~Alex.",

      "title": "What Are You Really Eating? Fake foods we eat every day.",
      "body": "Do you know what you are eating? I mean, do you really know? Because you may think you do, but you’ve been lied to. We are going to be looking at ten fake foods you eat.  Although, your food might be labeled something like lobster rice or sushi, well what you're eating probably isn't that.\n\n## Lobster\n#\n![langostino.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbb1jQckuDV5CkDvZCp5JEKZnfPF1KCsS9rf7Hpp93bFj/langostino.jpg)\nSo, we all know lobster is seen as a luxurious food which is eaten by some of the richest people or by regular Joe's on special occasions and I'm sure most of you are familiar with the lobster restaurant chains such as Red Lobster and Long John Silvers who offer lobster at a discount price. Well, the reason those prices are at discount is because it isn't lobster. The things those restaurants serve is actually Langostino which is a type of shrimp. Even though it might taste and look like lobster, it's not the same and there are differences in looks and flavor. Many supermarkets also sell Langostino labeled as lobster. So, next time you're in a store or a restaurant ask the staff is the lobster real or is it Langostino 😊.\n\n## Rice\n#\n![fake rice.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZzNyFMc89Xqm1d23HYCH4W4Rr8QhWupCZNKKg6u8HqXM/fake%20rice.jpg)\nThis is a shocking news story! You probably already know that China is the world's largest distributor of rice. But did you know that China has factories that make rice of toxic plastic? They create rice grains and then pack them up like regular rice then ship them out to markets in China. Also, companies outside of China distribute them all over the world. Eating just two bowls of this rice would be equal to consuming an entire plastic bag which is dangerous for your health and terrible for your digestive system. It could even be potentially fatal. The fake rice has been found being sold in China, Nigeria, Mexico, the United Kingdom and the United States.\n\n## Coffee\n#\n![fake cofee.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSQwpUBiJFp8MCKYbtorH6eVpMjmu6NmdZfuodLaTbudP/fake%20cofee.jpg)\nLot of you probably start your morning with a refreshing cup of coffee and even though some companies will put labels like 100% pure coffee on their containers a lot of these companies don't just sell coffee in these containers. Well, what exactly is in the coffee? Coffee is often ground and grounding means mixing it with other fillers to make the price of making it cheaper because the company doesn't have to use as much of actual coffee beans. Some companies grind coffee and mix it with roasted corn, ground roasted barley and even roasted animal skins. So, next time you buy a cup of coffee just know you're drinking this stuff - and the only reason is so that companies don't have to use as much coffee in the production process which can save them millions of dollars every year.\n\n## Fruit Juices \n#\n![fake juice.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmepfdfvuMhqs8wiABYBxaMHGqMk5hqnbCDdtDLdYKuMV1/fake%20juice.jpeg)\nWe all know that fruit juices can come in a lot of different flavors and some of these can be quite exotic and others not so much. But one thing that all of these flavors have in common is that juice companies are being cheap while making them. Apples are the cheapest fruit because there's so many of them and because of this fruit juice companies will dilute their juices with apple juice. This is why if you check the label on the back of almost any fruit juice it will say that it contains apple juice. Juice companies sometimes make up to 60% of their fruit juices with apple and if you're thinking, well, at least apple juice isn't fake, know, most apple juice isn't made entirely of apples. Even when it says made with 100 percent apples most companies use apple concentrate from China which has been found many times to contain banned pesticides and other chemicals.\n\n## Champagne\n#\n![fake wine.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcFNuLGhGXHCVxmmHhXg2kGSG23eysBuwjaKv1zXuKMWP/fake%20wine.JPG)\nJust like lobster, champagne is a luxury food which is enjoyed by people who are willing to spend a buck or two on this fancy drink and most people have probably heard that it's illegal to call sparkling wines that aren't from the Champagne region of France champagne. But this is a myth and only applies in France. More than half of wine labeled champagne sold in the United States isn't real and there are many producers from places like Long Island and California who market their sparkling white wines as champagne when really it's not from the official France province location and therefore doesn't have the same soil, sun or other conditions. So, you're paying a lot more just for a name.\n\n## Tea\n#\n![tea.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdTziYtUDuzeQcy8XfMZr6a7SJzNsBMdWaGAgiMQSGQgt/tea.jpg)\nYou already know that coffee manufacturers put weird things into their product to make it seem like coffee. I bet, when you were reading that, some of you were thinking that's fine, I only drink tea any way. Well, it turns out that tea manufacturers do the exact same thing as coffee a manufacturer, but what they put in tea is even worse. A report to [Congress in 2014](https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R43358.pdf) found that manufacturers added sawdust and leaves from other plants into their teas. But the reason for this isn't the same as the coffee manufacturers. Instead of not having to use more of the product like with coffee, the reason that tea manufacturers do this is to make teas last, increasing the tea’s shelf life. \n\n## Spices\n#\n![oregano.marijuana.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQMYaxAg9mCLcenTY4Md1tzswQERRZT1MSKqHuyWMV69U/oregano.marijuana.jpg)\nCertain dry spices are another food that's subject to being ground in the manufacturing process and the ones that are ground and what spice manufacturers add to the mix might surprise you. Nuts are often ground with pepper to make it way cheaper because there's so much of it and turmeric has been found to sometimes contain corn. Oregano is often cut with weeds from the farms that have been dried up and crushed and then mixed in with a bit of the spice to make it seem like you're getting more for your money when in reality you're paying for things that you'd probably throw out.\n\n## Honey\n#\n![fake honey.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRXNv7Bs7PFj7uTGoEeDDeWQ4FeQgdUGvnNwhtBkqJtKg/fake%20honey.jpg)\nEveryone knows that honey comes from bees, but despite companies saying the honey is natural and only contains honey made by bees, it's been found that a lot of honey is heavily diluted with high fructose corn syrup which is a nasty sugary syrup banned in a lot of countries. \n\n## Parmesan Cheese\n#\n![cheese or not.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaYCUMpWMdjFMHinSuVyszmrrATJ4QmcJv6W3ZPZhaVgr/cheese%20or%20not.jpg)\nJust like Champagne, Parmesan cheese can only be called that if it's from Parma in Italy. Well, as you can probably guess by now, most companies sell Parmesan cheese that's not from Parma.  It's a lot cheaper for them to manufacture the cheese locally if they don't have to import it all the way from Italy. And while it may be cheaper for them, it's not cheaper for you. In fact, the product markup and Parmesan cheese is higher than any other cheese. So, you're not only being sold lies you're also paying a lot more just for a word that's been written on the label of your cheese. These cheaper non-Italian ones are often mixed with wood pulp to make it look like there's a lot more cheese than there actually is. Make sure your Parmesan cheese is made in Italy or it's probably an impostor.\n\n## Sushi\n#\n![fake tuna.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWNJmRd7jjVGpcYVj6fbnrqazxsc4jS4bE25bnW7bzS4V/fake%20tuna.jpg)\nThis cold Japanese food is loved by many all around the world and the most popular piece of sushi is the tuna roll but in a test carried out in 2016 where thousands of sushi restaurants in the US were tested, it was found that 84% of them served fake fish. The white tuna in tuna rolls was always a completely different animal. What you're really eating is probably something called [Escolar]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escolar) which is very cheap and it's also known as lax  fish and that's because it can be used as a laxative and can give people diarrhea.",

And we’re accepting applications starting today.](https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2017/06/21/2-million-prize-decentralize-web-apply-today/)\n\nMozilla believes the Internet is a global public resource that must be open and accessible to all.  In the 21st century, a lack of Internet access is far more than an inconvenience — it’s a staggering disadvantage. Without access, individuals miss out on substantial economic and educational opportunities, government services and the ability to communicate with friends, family and peers.\n\nCurrently, [34 million people](https://www.fcc.gov/reports-research/reports/broadband-progress-reports/2016-broadband-progress-report) in the U.S. — 10% of the country’s population — lack access to high-quality Internet connectivity. This number jumps to 39% in rural communities and 41% on Tribal lands. And when disasters strike, millions more can lose vital connectivity right when it’s needed most.\n\nTo connect the unconnected and disconnected across the U.S., Mozilla today is accepting applications for the Wireless Innovation for a Networked Society (WINS) challenges. Sponsored by NSF, a total of $2 million in prize money is available for wireless solutions that get people online after disasters, or that connect communities lacking reliable Internet access.",

      "title": "Blockchain Address Explained: What Are Addresses on Blockchains?",
      "body": "Blockchain Addresses are an important concept in cryptocurrencies and blockchains. In my guide, i explain what addresses are, how they are created and what the differences between different kind of addresses on different blockchains are.\n![What-Are-Addresses-on-Blockchains-Blockchain-Address-101.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmb4MW8WwjZHPJqin2EyGAK577yEETdwwoMPdq8XGesQ3N/What-Are-Addresses-on-Blockchains-Blockchain-Address-101.png)\n## What Are Addresses on Blockchains?\n\nIn the early days of Bitcoin, it was possible to send payments to an IP-address like 52.206.89.4 (which is steemit.com). This was planned to be a convenient method to use Bitcoins without dealing with unhandy public keys and addresses. However, after the Bitcoin developers realized that this way of sending coins could be subject to serious man- in-the-middle-attacks, the option was disabled and did never come back.\n\nThis anecdote of Bitcoin’s early days seems to have mostly historic values. But it demonstrates what an address is: It is not something special or something set in stone. It is just a placeholder to accept and send blockchain transactions. Like an IBAN or SWIFT address.\n\nThe address itself doesn’t matter, nor does its format. The only thing matters are that the address serves its purpose – to enable payments to an entity which has a unique information. Usually, a private key, to exclusively access the funds. The address is nothing but a secure identifier.\n\nHowever, while SWIFT or IBAN numbers are assigned by central authorities like banks, blockchain addresses exist. Every blockchain address possible already existed, long before a wallet found it. The reason is that blockchain addresses are the result of a mathematical operation.\n## The Public Key: Where the Blockchain Address Generation begins\n\nAfter Pay to IP had been abandoned in Bitcoin, P2PKH became the new standard format for Bitcoin addresses. You might know it; it looks like this: **1K31KZXjcochXpRhjH9g5MxTHPi123zEXb**\n\nA standard P2PKH address has something like 34 signs and starts with a 1. P2PKH is the abbreviation of \"Pay To Public Key Hash.\" This means that you Pay to a hash of a public key. For beginners, this might sound intimidating complex, so let’s wait through the process of building such an address to learn what it is.\n\nEvery wallet software you use can easily create a P2PKH address, or, to be more precise: find as many of it as you want. It is no rocket science, but a combination of several non-exceptional cryptographic operations.\n\nFirst, your wallet collects entropy and uses it to generate an ECDSA private key. ECDSA is the cryptographic algorithm in the core of Bitcoin addresses. It is an asymmetric signature algorithm, which means that you can sign messages with the PRIVATE key and verify the signature with the PUBLIC key. With ECDSA you can give the world easily the information to prove that you – and only you – are the author of a message by signing it. It’s very similar to physically signing a letter.\n\nSo, after creating the private key with entropy, the wallet derives the public key from it. It does so by picking some random coordinates on a certain elliptic curve and doing some calculations. Details are not important. What matters ist, which this public key is all you need to send and collect payments. In the early days, the public key was used to receive funds.\n\nBut very soon the concept was extended. The public key is not only very long and unhandy – around 65 characters – but can also be subject to typing errors. Further, exposing it can also set you on risks if ECDSA is ever broken, for example by quantum computing. This is why the Bitcoin developers created a method to derive an address from the public key.\n## Creating the Bitcoin Blockchain address\n\nTo create the address your wallet pushes the public key through a series of cryptographic algorithms. Roughly speaking this is what happens:\n\nThe software hashes the public key with SHA 256 and the result with RIPEMD-160. Then it adds the bytes 00 as a prefix in the beginning of the resulting string – this is the reason why P2PKH addresses start with a \"1\" – and four checksum-bytes at the end. The four checksum bytes are generated by hashing the result twice with SHA 256 and taking the first four bytes. Then your wallet converts the result into a base58 string. And voilá: we have the Bitcoin address we know and we love.\n\nYou don’t need to understand the cryptographic details. What’s important is that the address represents a public key in a better readable way and adds a checksum which prevents that you fall victim to a typing error. Whenever you paste an address in your Bitcoin wallet, it checks the prefix and calculates the checksum. If it doesn’t match, it rejects the address. This makes it impossible to send funds to a wrong address due to a typing error.\n\nIf you have the private key for an address, only you can sign a transaction with cryptocurrency token assigned to this address – while everybody who knows your address can verify the validity of your signature. This simple process – signing a transaction, verifying the signature – is more or less everything a cryptocurrency transaction does.\n\n \n\nBut Bitcoin has more advanced addresses: the so-called P2SH addresses. This abbreviation stands for \"Pay to Script Hash.\" It means that you don’t pay to the hash of a public key, but to the hash of a script. To sign a transaction you don’t have to provide the signature matching a certain public key, but a script matching a certain hash. This kind of addresses enable more flexible methods to verify yourself, for example, those that are used in multisig-addresses, in which two parties provide information which sums up to the needed script. These addresses use the prefix 05, which is the reason why they start with a \"3\".\n\nHowever, it needs another guide to completely describe the magic of P2SH addresses. Here we focus on addresses itself and leave Bitcoin to have a look, how other cryptocurrencies create addresses.\n![address-1.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVgkUndkXaiCsq4QmYr4skFeJByCApwdSnbmJJC8u5Quq/address-1.jpg)\n## Addresses in other Cryptocoins \n\nA lot of cryptocurrencies use nearly the same address format as Bitcoin. For example, Litecoin, Dash, and Dogecoin deploy the same cryptographic procedures to generate an address: ECDSA, SHA 256 and RIPEMD 160.\n\nThe only difference is the prefix of the RIPEMD-160 hash. While Bitcoin’s prefix 00 results in addresses starting with a \"1\", Altcoins like Dash, Litecoin or Dogecoin use other prefixes so that the addresses start with \"L\" (Litecoin), \"X\" (Dash) or \"D\" (Dogecoin).\n\nAs these coins use the same cryptographic algorithm, you can use the same private and public keys to save coins in all these cryptocurrencies. Partly you can even store them on the same addresses. For example, Litecoin and Bitcoin use the same prefix for P2SH addresses – 05 – so that it is possible to store both Bitcoin as Litecoin at the same address.\n\nOther cryptocurrencies, however, use other schemes to generate the address. For example, Monero is based on the Cryptonote algorithm. This algorithm deploys another cryptographic signature algorithm to generate the public key, EdDSA. Cryptonote currencies have so-called ring signatures, which provide more privacy, as you can't determine which key a transaction was signed. For this reason, Cryptonote addresses must contain two public keys, a view, and a spend key.\n\nLike with Bitcoin addresses, Cryptonote adds a prefix byte and hashes the result. However, it uses Keccak-256 instead of double SHA 256 to generate four checksum bytes, which are added at the end of the string. After converting the result to base58, you get the final address, which is longer than in Bitcoin. It looks like this:\n**43ZZViHQKd42X7cajEtc6NUoxG4AvyMu3ZqpGTBP85uhEfYoPVAuGHxJcomMHEPp3NWiKJRUMnuAJ7dfBrPTcfjYMPJzz2a**\n\nThis variety of addresses demonstrates, again, that addresses are just a mean to accept a payment which is assigned to a certain public key. For this base function, it does not matter what you do with the public key, what cryptographic algorithm you apply to convert it to an address, and how the address looks.\n\nThe building procedure of an address, however, can have an important implication on security, privacy, and usability. Without the checksum integration, Bitcoin address could be mistyped, and without the integration of the view key in the address, Monero would be not as private as it is. A look at Ethereum's addresses further establishes this insight.\n## Ethereum Addresses\n\nLike many things in cryptocurrency, the topic of addresses starts to get really intriguing when it comes to Ethereum. Many people who started with Bitcoin and then trying Ethereum are puzzled with the address format, which is a long, hexadecimal string starting with 0x, for example, **0x0eb81892540747ec60f1389ec734a2c0e5f9f735.\"\n\nTechnically, Ethereum's address generation is similar to Bitcoin's, but does not take the whole way. You start with a private key and use ECDSA to generate a 64-byte public key. Like we know from Bitcoin. Then you hash this key with Keccak-256. The result is a 32-byte string. The first 12 of these bytes are dropped, the remaining 20 bytes are a 40 character address, to which usually the prefix 0x is added. That's it. Other than Bitcoin or Cryptonote, Ethereum does not transform the address to base58, so it is in hexadecimal (0-F).\n\nAnother difference between Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies is that Ethereum addresses have no checksum. Any hexadecimal 40 character string can be an Ethereum address, which is the reason why Ethereum developers heavily dissuade users to manually type such an address, as a single typing error can result in the loss of funds.\n\nCompared with the addresses of other cryptocurrencies, Ethereum addresses seem to be unfinished, gross and recklessly dangerous for the user. For a cryptocurrency which has the second largest market value and is promoted as the most innovative cryptocurrency at all, this seems to be surprisingly low level.\n\nThe initial reason for this was that, when Ethereum’s first version, Frontier, was released, nobody really cared. What we today use as addresses were never intended to be permanently used as such. From the beginning, Ethereum developers aim to build a smart contract based name register, with which payments can be easily sent to names or domains and so on. In the long term, with Ethereum, cryptocurrency can close the circle and come back to the easy to use payment Satoshi intended when implementing Pay to IP.\n\nHowever, as [Jeff Coleman points out](https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/267/why-dont-ethereum-addresses-have-checksums), there is another, a maybe more important reason that Ethereum does not use crafted addresses like Bitcoin: The developers think it can be done better. Remember, an address is just a cryptographic method to represent the needed information to assign funds to a private key. This can be done with contracts that assign this information to names, but this can also be done with more sophisticated address formats than Bitcoin uses.\n\nThe favorite format for Ethereum developers is currently the [ICAP format](https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/ICAP:-Inter-exchange-Client-Address-Protocol), which looks like this:\n**E7338O073KYGTWWZN0F2WZ0R8PX5ZPPZS**\n\nLike Bitcoin addresses, it uses base58 characters and includes a checksum.\n\n\"But that’s not all, folks! For one thing, the ICAP is a fully valid [International Bank Account Number](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Bank_Account_Number) (or IBAN),\" Coleman explains, \"That means that existing bank software can understand it and interact with it.\" IBAN is the international identifier of client accounts in the banking industry. It consists of 32 case insensitive alphanumeric characters, containing a country code, a checksum, the bank number as well as the account number. ICAP uses an XE as a country identifier and string of 16 to 30 alphanumerical characters which includes information like account, asset, checksum or institution.\n\nColemen goes on: \"For another, the ICAP doesn’t have to use hexadecimal addresses. Instead, once we all do switch over to using name reg contracts it can just use your actual human readable string to end up with something like \"XE81ETHXREGJEFFCOLEMAN\", which still matches bank formats but might be possible actually to remember!\". In the long run, Ethereum addresses could become memorable and compatible with the existing banking system.\n\nThe support for ICAP addresses is currently growing. The usual clients already enable the generation of ICAP addresses, but still, use the legacy address as a standard. To make this more secure, Vitalik Buterin developed a little improvement to add checksums in the form of capitalization. With [EIP55 generated addresses](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/55), upper cases serve as a checksum. So if an address has at least one capital letter, it will be invalid, if you make a typing error.\n\n## STEEM – where your username is your address\n\nThe cryptocurrency STEEM already implemented a system similar to what Ethereum aims to achieve. In STEEM your username is your wallet address.\n\nSTEEM is a cryptocurrency based on the BitShares concept. It is interlinked with the social platform Steemit, where users can \"mine\" Steem-coins by collecting upvotes for posts. This \"subjective proof of work\" is a clever combination of Proof of Stake and Proof of Work. The system as a whole is relatively complex, as it contains \"delegates\", which are elected to do the proof, and three forms of token, STEEM, STEEM power and STEEM Dollar; also it is hard to assess if STEEM is as decentralized as Bitcoin and Ethereum, as large parts of it are based on the privately hosted platform Steemit, which is the main client of Steem. There seem to be no other wallets available.\n\nHowever, the address concept is intriguing. In a more centralized way, STEEM implemented what Ethereum aims to build with smart contract name registrars: The users gets a private key, which he can use to sign his transaction, like with any other cryptocurrency. Addresses, however, are no cryptographic derivation of the private key, but just the usernames on Steemit. Probably these usernames are connected to the public key in a public database on Steemit, so that, at least, it is possible for every user to validate a transaction. But still, the most important part of the validation – the connection between public key and address – is not based on math, but on trust to the platform Steemit.\n\nThe username based address scheme of STEEM is interesting because it provides an ideal usability. But its centralized and trusted nature makes it inadequate for most blockchain use cases, which aim to decentralize verification and substitute trust with math. At least, the system lacks transparency.\n\nA smart contract based name registrar, like Ethereum, aims to build on top of its blockchain, however, could combine the best of both worlds: the decentralized, trustless nature of Bitcoin – and the ease of use of STEEMs name based addresses.",
