Cat raising in Ethereum
[picture]
Ethereum is a blockchain smart contract. Now Ethereum ranks 2-3 in the market value ranking, with a market value of 25% of bitcoin. However, Ethereum also has some problems, such as slow trading, high fuel costs and the mining mechanism that has been criticized repeatedly. Familiar? All of bitcoin's problems are with Ethereum. Some time ago, the Ethereum cloud cat game developed on Ethereum went online in the first week, directly blocking Ethereum's trading network. I tried to pay a high gas fee of nearly 100 yuan, but I still couldn't transfer it successfully. This can't help but lower my expectation of Ethereum. Ethereum is a great idea of V God, but after all, it is a pioneer, and there is a long way to go from perfection.
Dragons are commonly portrayed as serpentine or reptilian, hatching from eggs and possessing long, typically scaly, bodies; they are sometimes portrayed as having large eyes, a feature that is the origin for the word for dragon in many cultures, and are often (but not always) portrayed with wings and a fiery breath. Some dragons do not have wings at all, but look more like long snakes.
Although dragons (or dragon-like creatures) occur commonly in legends around the world, different cultures have perceived them differently. Chinese dragons (Simplified Chinese: 龙; Traditional Chinese: 龙; pinyin: lóng), and Eastern dragons generally, are usually seen as benevolent, whereas European dragons are usually malevolent (there are of course exceptions to these rules). Malevolent dragons also occur in Persian mythology (see A Dahaka) and other cultures.
Dragons are often held to have major spiritual significance in various religions and cultures around the world. In many Eastern and Native American cultures dragons were, and in some cultures still are, revered as representative of the primal forces of nature and the universe. They are associated with wisdom—often said to be wiser than humans—and longevity. They are commonly said to possess some form of magic or other supernormal power, and are often associated with wells, rain, and rivers. In some cultures, they are said to be capable of human speech.
Dragons are very popular characters in fantasy literature, role-playing games and video games today.
The term dragoon, for infantry that move around by horse, yet still fight as foot soldiers, is derived from their early firearm, the "dragon", a wide-bore musket that spat flame when it fired, and was thus named for the mythical beast.

[edit] Symbolism
In medieval symbolism, dragons were often symbolic of apostasy and treachery, but also of anger and envy, and eventually symbolised great calamity. Several heads were symbolic of decadence and oppression, and also of heresy. They also served as symbols for independence, leadership and strength. Many dragons also represent wisdom; slaying a dragon not only gave access to its treasure hoard, but meant the hero had bested the most cunning of all creatures. In some cultures, especially Chinese, or around the Himalayas, dragons are considered to represent good luck.
Joseph Campbell in the The Power of Myth viewed the dragon as a symbol of divinity or transcendence because it represents the unity of Heaven and Earth by combining the serpent form (earthbound) with the bat/bird form (airborne).
Dragons embody both male and female traits as in the example from Aboriginal myth that raises baby humans to althood training them for survival in the world (Littleton, 2002, p. 646). Another contrast in the way dragons are portrayed is their ability to breathe fire but live in the ocean--water and fire together. And like in the quote from Joseph Campbell above, they also include the opposing elements of earth and sky. Dragons represent the joining of the opposing forces of the cosmos.
Yet another symbolic view of dragons is the Ouroborus, or the dragon encircling and eating its own tail. When shaped like this the dragon becomes a symbol of eternity, natural cycles, and completion.
[edit] In Christianity
The Latin word for a dragon, draco (genitive: draconis), actually means snake or serpent, emphasizing the European association of dragons with snakes. The Medieval Biblical interpretation of the Devil being associated with the serpent who tempted Adam and Eve, thus gave a snake-like dragon connotations of evil. Generally speaking, Biblical literature itself did not portray this association (save for the Book of Revelation, whose treatment of dragons is detailed below). The demonic opponents of God, Christ, or good Christians have commonly been portrayed as reptilian or chimeric.
In the Book of Job Chapter 41, the sea monster Leviathan, which has some dragon-like characteristics.
In Revelation 12:3, an enormous red beast with seven heads is described, whose tail sweeps one third of the stars from heaven down to earth (held to be symbolic of the fall of the angels, though not commonly held among biblical scholars). In most translations, the word "dragon" is used to describe the beast, since in the original Greek the word used is drakon (δράκον).
In iconography, some Catholic saints are depicted in the act of killing a dragon. This is one of the common aspects of Saint George in Egyptian Coptic iconography [1], on the coat of arms of Moscow, and in English and Catalan legend. In Italy, Saint Mercurialis, first bishop of the city of Forlì, is also depicted slaying a dragon.[2] Saint Julian of Le Mans, Saint Veran, Saint Crescentinus, and Saint Leonard of Noblac were also venerated as dragon-slayers.
However, some say that dragons were good, before they fell, as humans did. Also contributing to the good dragon argument in Christianity is the fact that, if they did exist, they were created as were any other creature, as seen in Dragons In Our Midst, a contemporary Christian book series by author Bryan Davis.
[edit] Chinese zodiac
The years 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024, 2036, 2048, 2060 are considered the Year of the Dragon in the Chinese zodiac.
The Chinese zodiac purports that people born in the Year of the Dragon are healthy, energetic, excitable, short-tempered, and stubborn. They are also supposedly honest, sensitive, brave, and inspire confidence and trust. The Chinese zodiac purports that Dragon people are the most eccentric of any in the eastern zodiac. They supposedly neither borrow money nor make flowery speeches, but tend to be soft-hearted which sometimes gives others an advantage over them. They are purported to be compatible with Rats, Snakes, Monkeys, and Roosters.
[edit] In East Asia
Main article: Chinese dragon
Main article: Vietnamese dragon
Dragons are commonly symbols of good luck/health in some parts of Asia, and are also sometimes worshipped. Asian dragons are considered as mythical rulers of weather, specifically rain and water, and are usually depicted as the guardians of flaming pearls.
In China, as well as in Japan and Korea, the Azure Dragon is one of the Four Symbols of the Chinese constellation, representing spring (season), the element of Wood and the east. Chinese dragons are often shown with large pearls in their grasp, though some say that it is really the dragon's egg. The chinese believed that the dragons lived under water most of the time, and would sometimes offer rice as a gift to the dragons. The dragons were not shown with wings like the European dragons because it was believed they could fly using magic.
A Yellow dragon (Huang long) with five claws on each foot, on the other hand, symbolize imperial authority in China, and indirectly the Chinese people as well. Chinese people often use the term "Descendants of the Dragon" as a sign of ethnic identity. The dragon is also the symbol of royalty in Bhutan (whose sovereign is known as Druk Gyalpo, or Dragon King).
In Vietnam, the dragon (Vietnamese: rồng) is the most important and sacred symbol. According to the ancient creation myth of the Kinh people, all Vietnamese people are descended from dragons through Lạc Long Quân, who married Âu Cơ, a fairy. The eldest of their 100 sons founded the first dynasty of Hùng Vương Emperors.

A naga guarding the Temple of Wat Sisaket in Viang Chan, LaosWhere the original concept of a dragon came from is unknown, as there is no accepted scientific theory or any evidence to support that dragons actually exist or have existed.
Some believe that the dragon may have had a real-life counterpart from which the legends around the world arose — typically dinosaurs or other archosaurs are mentioned as a possibility — but there is no physical evidence to support this claim, only alleged sightings collected by cryptozoologists. In a common variation of this hypothesis, giant lizards such as Megalania are substituted for the living dinosaurs. Some Creationists hold that dragons are just an exaggerated depiction of what we now call dinosaurs and that humans and dinosaurs (dragons) did co-exist.[1] All of these hypotheses are widely considered to be pseudoscience or myth.
Dinosaur fossils were once thought of as "dragon bones" — a discovery in 300 BC in Wucheng, Sichuan, China, was labeled as such by Chang Qu.[2] It is unlikely, however, that these finds alone prompted the legends of flying monsters, but may have served to reinforce them.
Herodotus, often called the "father of history", visited Judea c.450 BC and wrote that he heard of caged dragons in nearby Arabia, near Petra, Jordan. Curious, he travelled to the area and found many skeletal remains of serpents and mentioned reports of flying serpents flying from Arabia into Egypt but being fought off by Ibises Histories. Histories (Greek). Retrieved on 2006-06-14..
According to Marco Polo's journals, Polo was walking through Anatolia into Persia and came upon real live flying
on cryptokitties, you can buy virtual cats. By 17:00 Beijing time on December 6, 2017, the cheapest kitten had reached 0.037eth. Equivalent to 110 yuan per piece
then the kittens have some opinions about the generation. For example, Gen 12 indicates that it is the 12th generation, while Gen 20 indicates that it is the 20th generation. Generally speaking, the smaller the algebra, the more valuable it is. And you can make your kittens slap each other. For example, a Gen 1 kitten and a Gen 1 kitten will give birth to a Gen 2 kitten
you can sell your kittens and their offspring for money
but what if you don't have two kittens? If you only buy one kitten, you can use your kitten to have fun with other people's high-quality kittens. The fee also depends on the kittens (to be honest, this mechanism is very evil, similar to... Borrowing chickens to have children?) The quality of the proct. If your kitten is of high quality, you can also use your kitten to mate other people's kittens, and then you get Ethereum income
but kittens also have special fertility rates
every time a kitten gives birth to one generation, it will have a certain cooling time, and it can't regenerate kittens within the cooling time,
the cooling time is divided into several grades
fast: 1 minute
swift: 2 – 5 minutes
snappy: 10 – 30 minutes
brisk: 1 – 2 minutes
plodding: 4 – 8 minutes
slow: 16 – 24 minutes
sluggi Sh (lazy kitten): 2 – 4 days
catatonic (nervous kitten): 1 week
so the price of your cat also depends on its birth time
and generally speaking, the larger the algebra is, the higher the gen value is, and the slower their growth rate is
but I want to make complaints about it because CryptoKitties is too hot! Ethereum network has a little bit of a crash, the official recommended that every time you buy a cat, the minimum handling charge is 21000. 400000 fuel = 0.01eth. However, it is irritating that I raised the procere to 1.6 million fuel, which is 0.04, and Ethereum still failed. 0.04 Ethereum. That's more than 120 yuan. It's too dark.
”How to sell a Leitz: click on "my kennel" to enter the Leitz I own. You can see the "sell" button! The selling price is set by yourself. At present, we need to know the price of the corresponding level of Leitz dog. It is suggested that we can refer to the price in the dog market for sale! When the price of pet dog rises to a certain extent, users can sell it
Therefore, it is obvious that the driving force for supporting users to become dog slaves on the blockchain is the appreciation potential of each Leitz dog. In the official definition, a dog is not a virtual currency, but more like a virtual collectible, a real-world art collectiongenerally speaking, from proct design to game mode, "leitzer dog" is quite similar to the cat raising game cryptokitties which was popular in Ethereum some time ago. Even embarrassment is similar. It is reported that the solution of network financial blockchain is based on hyperledger, which has always boasted of its high performance
the development team behind "leitzdog" is the network financial blockchain laboratory, which is mainly engaged in enterprise level blockchain solutions and user oriented application level blockchain solutions. The person in charge of the network responded that the digital dog of the network financial blockchain laboratory is only in the internal test stage, which is an attempt in the application field of blockchain technology
the digital dog of leitzer dog does not have the function of cash transaction, and it can get calculus when receiving. In the future, users can get calculus by using the internal procts of the network. Calculus can only be used to purchase the corresponding digital dog in the dog market, and it does not have any other functions
When the price of pet dog rises to a certain extent, users can sell it01. After clicking free collection, the system will distribute your dog and calculus to your account through the blockchain. When the number of recipients is large, it may take a long time to write to the blockchain. Please wait patiently
02. When you submit a purchase order, it will take a period of transaction confirmation time because the order needs to be written into the blockchain. Only after the transaction is confirmed can you see the Leitz you bought in my kennel
03. When you buy a Leitz dog, you need to dect a handling charge of about 5 calculus to pay for the consumption of computing resources needed to write into the blockchain. Therefore, your calculus balance must be greater than [the sum of dog selling price and handling fee] to successfully initiate the purchase. The actual charge will be determined by the specific consumption of computing power. After the transaction is successful, you can view it in my order
" in the fire, between Rembrandt and a cat, I chose to save the cat. " Even 50 years after the death of the artist Giacometti, his words still resonate with countless cat slaves. For many people, loving a cat is far more fun than loving a person
"white paper on China's pet instry in 2017" (hereinafter referred to as "white paper") shows that as of this year, the number of pet cats and dogs in China has reached 87.46 million, and the market scale has reached 134 billion yuan, which will increase by 40% in the next three years. This means that almost one in 10 people has a cat or a dog
compared with dog's stickiness, cat's independence is more and more favored by urban new middle class. In the past two years, "sucking cats" and "sucking cats" have spread like a virus to the whole society. Nearly 100000 netizens mourned the death of the online red cat loulou on Weibo, which is enough to imagine the impact of cats on people
Why are more and more people willing to be slaves of cats? Are those who are keen on "sucking cats" short of cats or lovewho are keeping cats
since 2016, the group of "empty nest youth" has been widely concerned. The data show that this group is mainly distributed in the first tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and the age groups are all post-80s and post-90s. They are usually far away from their hometown, working alone, unmarried, single and living alone. Coincidentally, these characteristics are more than 95% consistent with the pet owners mentioned in the China pet consumer behavior report
Jiang Yu is a typical "empty nest youth". Since 2015, she has bought a cat every year, and the existence of three cats has enriched her life“ When I first came to Shanghai, I lived in a shared house. There were six rooms in a house less than 100 square meters. " "The number of people sharing doesn't mean it's busy. Because the working hours are not fixed, we can't see roommates at ordinary times, let alone sit together and chat," she said
"I've lived there for about five months. I don't know what my roommate does. Everyone goes back to their rooms after work and won't open the door if they have nothing to do." Jiang Yu said. After her internship, she moved closer to the company and started living alone. As the work began, she had more personal time. When a person stays at home, Jiang Yu is often "too empty to feel his own existence"“ To tell you the truth, Shanghai is a place with little humanity, and it's hard to make friends. If there is no intersection in work, there will be no communication between colleagues. "
so when Jiang Yu happened to see a kitten on Douban, she resolutely took it home. She said: "I have a lot of negative emotions at work. I feel that the cat has its own healing function. I feel comfortable when I see it after work." After having a cat, Jiang Yu stayed at home almost every weekend, watching movies and reading books with her cat in her arms. She found it more interesting to chat with someone she didn't know
like Jiang Yu, the vast majority of "empty nesters" raise cats because they feel confused and lonely when they first come to society and want to find emotional sustenance. With the development of economy, on the one hand, their disposable income increases enough to bear the cost of living alone. On the other hand, the accelerated pace of life makes them tired of devoting energy to maintain interpersonal relationship. At this time, the independent, calm, soft and mysterious cat gives emotional comfort to the urban people who are afraid of trouble but eager to accompany, greatly meeting their emotional needs
"I was on a business trip two days ago, and I didn't have a cat around me. I felt that something was wrong." Liang Le said. Liang Le, who just graated last year, raised two cats in Beijing. As a media person who often deals with people, she thinks that "cat raising" is not equal to "social phobia"“ I have to go out for interviews every day. How can I be socially afraid? At the beginning, I really wanted to have a partner, but later, it was more because people like cats in many details of life. I like cats from the bottom of my heart. "
in Liang Le's view, the economic cost of raising a cat is getting lower and lower. In addition, people themselves have no resistance to lovely creatures, so raising a cat has become a matter of course. At the same time, compared with a lot of time and energy required to raise a dog, the time cost of raising a cat is also very cost-effective. She believes that there will be more cat owners in the future
"but now many people don't really like cats. They always impose their own aesthetic on cats to satisfy their vanity." Liang Le said. She refers to some pet owners who often take their cats to pet shops for bath and beauty. With the development of Internet social platform, the circle of friends and microblog "Sun cat" have become a kind of show off and talk. Many cat owners dress, beautify and even dye their cats in order to make them look better. The trend of purebred cats is becoming more and more popular
however, Liang Le also found that even though she firmly believes that cats should be loved by themselves, there are more and more instries serving cats
In 2015, Japanese economists invented a new word: "cat economics"“ "Cat economics" means that no matter how difficult the economy is, the public's enthusiasm for cats and related procts will always be high. As long as businesses use cats, they can attract attention and benefit from themthe survey shows that more than 80% of Chinese cat owners regard cats as children and family members. This means that cats are playing an increasingly important role in people's lives. In this context, in addition to the traditional cat food, cat supplies, cat coffee shop, cat foster care, cat funeral services, cloud cat app and so on have become emerging hot instries
aiming at this trend, at the beginning of this year, Bob and his friends opened a cat coffee shop in Shenzhen. He said: "Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are all immigrant cities. Many people like cats, but they don't have the conditions to keep them. For example, landlords don't allow them, roommates don't like them, and so on. So if this instry does well, there will be a lot of room for development."
to this end, Bobby and his friends went back and forth to more than a dozen cat cafes for investigation and research, and worked out the operation plan while selecting the site. As the partner originally runs a cat house, has experience in cat care and has a supply channel for cats, Bob is full of expectations for the future of this store. As one of the biggest cat caf é s in Shenzhen, Bobby's store has more than 30 cats, mainly engaged in catering and helping the cat house to sell cats and their peripheral procts. Driven by the trend of raising cats, in the first half of this year, his net profit of cat cafe was more than 20000 yuan per month
in fact, like Bob, there are not many people who want to gain a share in the cat instry market through cat cafe. However, since the birth of cat caf é, in addition to the issue of profit, the health of cat caf é and the health of cat are controversial. Even so, Bob is still optimistic about the instry: "everything has a development process, and problems represent a new stage." At present, there are nearly a thousand cat cafes in China, and they are still increasing
compared with the offline "sucking cat", the development of "cloud cat" is very vigorous. The early "cat raising in the cloud" originated from the fact that some bloggers shared their cat's daily life on social platforms such as wechat and microblog, so as to attract the onlookers of cat slaves@ Recall special vest, @ melon skin ID sauce and other micro blog big V is to use their pets to attract tens of millions of fans. Among them, @ recollect special vest has become a leader in marketing by advertising and writing soft articles with a Scottish Fold eared cat and a samoyer dog. The number of tweets about these two pets' lucky draw is up to 500000. The price of a microblog advertisement in xiaomajia is about 20000 yuan, with an annual income of more than 8 million yuan
with the development of Internet technology, all kinds of cat related apps are also online Cat backyard is a cat nurturing game. Users can buy toys and build houses for cats in the app. As of July this year, the number of downloads of "cat's backyard" has exceeded 19 million. Now, the game not only promotes the VR version of "cat backyard VR" with the times, but also adapts it into a live action movie, which makes the majority of "cloud sucking cat patients" addicted
in November this year, cryptokitties, a virtual cat game, logged into the Ethereum blockchain. Attracted by cute cats and virtual digital coins, cryptokitties has become the most popular project on the Ethereum blockchain since it was launched. Players can buy, sell and breed different kinds of electronic pet kittens on it. This project once accounted for 15% of the traffic of Ethereum. According to official data, the total sales of cryptokitties has reached $7.9 million, with a total of more than 70000 virtual cats sold, and the most expensive one has sold to 260 million yuan. It can be seen that the cold sounding blockchain, once added with the element of cat, can add a lot of points
with the increasing number of cat owners, various cat related instries will continue to develop, bringing forth new models. Relevant data show that in 2010? In 2020, the scale of China's pet instry will maintain an average annual growth rate of 30.9%. By 2020, the scale will reach 188.5 billion yuan. In the future, this number will continue to grow
Why do cats occupy the world Hemingway said: "a man cannot be defeated, but he can be destroyed by a cat." The destruction here means that a tough man like Hemingway will be tamed by a cat. According to historical data, the history of cat keeping is 5300 years. In the Internet age, cats are everywhere. So, why does this little creature occupy the human world
when it comes to cats, many people think of Japan. Japan is the country with the most developed cat culture. They even set up "Cat Day" in 1987 to thank the cats who accompany human beings. In Japan, cats contribute more than 2.3 trillion yen to Japan's GDP than AKB48, the idol group. The emergence of this phenomenon is inseparable from their economic culture
as a developed country, the pace of life in Japan is very fast. Even when people in Tokyo wait for the bus for a while, they will read books, send messages or close their eyes for a nap. Their streets are always full of traffic. As a result, those lazy lying on the side of the road stretching cats, attracted the attention of the Japanese. Cats' secluded quiet state seems to be incompatible with the fast-paced Japan, but it is what they want most in their busy daily life. At this time, lazy cats become their spiritual sustenance. This sustenance extends to the culture, growing a series of economic instries such as cat animation, Cat Island and cat grocery store, forming a good cycle of culture and economy
To some extent, the reasons for the rise of cat culture in China are similar to those in Japan. Since 2010, the change of China's population structure has become more and more obvious, the demographic dividend has faded, and the "empty nest youth" has become the same group of concern as the "empty nest elderly"? 39 years old, working hard in a big city "is the label of the times
