DEFI DEEP DIVE
November 9, 2021 Mike Leave a comment
HOW TO DO DEFI IN ~7 STEPS DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE
Over the past week around the start of November 2021, I have decided to learn a
little bit more about the current state of decentralized finance (DeFi), with a
focus on the various blockchain “features” to get a better pulse of the current
state of the market. I have been somewhat invested in a few cryptocurrencies
that I was not very familiar with but they SEEMED to have decent staking rewards
(more on this later) at more that what a bank would give – on Kraken up to 20%
for Kava as an example (and it was not required to claim any rewards; restaking
seemed to happen automatically with the exception of Ethereum, also more on this
later).
STEP 1: NEED A NEW WALLET
I had the same wallet(s) for up to 10 years and they were starting to look
outdated! At one point, I tried opening up my Ethereum Mist wallet and it was so
old that it couldn’t connect to the network, but I did at least claim some
bitcoin forks by exporting my private keys of a swept (IMPORTANT!) wallet about
a month ago, which meant I had a bit of extra crypto to play with.
After sorting out all these wallets and sending to various exchanges, getting
kicked off Binance, and doing some traditional CeFi (centralized Finance, i.e.
aforementioned exchanges such as Kraken, Binance, and others) trading, I started
to read about DeFi and pretty much watched every video on Finematics.
It was a prerequisite for me to get a new wallet that was DeFi friendly. So I
ended up trying Trust Wallet as I was interested in Kava, since I literally have
stake in it. The setup process was very straightforward and I was able to
transfer some coins from the various centralized exchanges to this multi-coin
wallet with very little effort (the only pain point being copying addresses from
mobile app to my desktop session – I used a Google Drive document for this).
STEP 2: PERUSE A PLATFORM (KAVA)
Once I had some Kava in my “Trust-y” new wallet, I was able use WalletConnect to
link to the Kava app in a very simple but new to me way, by scanning the QR code
on my desktop with my phone camera. I started by essentially loading up funds
from my wallet to the platform; its interesting how your Kava balance can still
reflect in the Trust Wallet app too. I tried the various platforms, Mint, Lend,
and Swap (specifically adding liquidity to a pool), and was so very impressed at
the transaction speed and low cost, but not so impressed about the reward
vesting period and deceiving APY numbers – you have to vest for 1 year to get
the displayed APY, otherwise 1 month vesting only gets you between 1/5th or
1/10th depending.
The mint feature I thought is a pretty clever way to not have to pay capital
gains tax, so thats what I did, minted some USDX using Kava as collateral to
play around with the Lend and Swap functionality.
I thought this was pretty cool, but what else is there?
STEP 3: DO A DAPP
I checked out a bunch…I don’t remember them all but the short of it is, in the
current state (November 2021), the ERC-20 (Ethereum based) ones are basically
unusable if you aren’t a whale. I mean that the gas fees were so high >$50 worth
of ETH per smart contract that it just isn’t worth it when I was spending less
than a penny worth of Kava in my previous experiment. Nonetheless, for
curiosity, I spent a small fortune on fees to try out pooling some AMPL
Ampleforth on AAVE as the APY numbers were insane. I don’t think I will be
seeing those returns but it was a YOLO bet that I allowed myself to do because I
found a few ETH in an old wallet the other day.
The only time I felt I could condone the use of any dApp using my Trust Wallet
was when they leveraged Binance Smart Chain. There the fees were much more
reasonable, but because I can’t use Binance, it is a relative pain to get BNB to
convert to Smart Chain so I ended it here. It seemed like Kava was the way to
go, but it also felt lacking. What made it so easy/fast? Turns out it was built
on Cosmos, so thats what I looked at next.
STEP 4: COVERING THE CHAIN (COSMOS)
So would you believe that I also was staking ATOM (Cosmos) on Kraken at a mere
7% reward rate (I thought this was pretty, pretty good before). A bit more
reading later and I found myself wanting to unstake my ATOM and play around with
the new-ish Emeris platform they have built…
STEP 1: NEED A NEW WALLET (AGAIN)
Nope not a typo. Emeris required Keplr wallet to integrate…I’ve come this far so
I unstaked some ATOM and deposited it into the Keplr wallet, lets see what this
can do.
Already able to stake directly in the wallet using validator of your choice at a
higher APY than the 7% I was getting on Kraken? Ok, lets try it – not sure how I
feel yet about having to claim the staking rewards. Time will tell on this one.
Looking through the various (all Cosmos chain? I mean Kava is on the list)
supported cryptocurrencies, I was shocked at some of the staking yields, again,
time will tell but I understand they payout at “epoch” daily which is 5PM UTC?
Please “Do Your Own Research” on this. It sounded like Osmosis was the one to
look at next.
STEP 5: CROSSING CHAINS (IBC TRANSFERS)
What I really like about Cosmos (Emeris) is that you can mostly intuitively move
assets between blockchains (pay close attention to which blockchain you have
selected as Akash seems to default and I may have mistaken sent to the wrong
chain once). The fee is pretty low at the lowest setting, ~9 cents, and it was
relatively fast ~9 seconds.
STEP 6: O! COSMOSIS!
It took me a while but I eventually realized the cleverness of the name! I will
leave this step with one simple image with the caveat that every transaction I
have done so far has been FREE!
STEP 7: CHECKING CRYPTO.COM
Let’s just say my deep dive ended with me getting a crypto backed Visa debit
card from crypto.com by staking some CRO. I feel as though this is rather
gimmicky (they have gamified missions that give you rewards), but decent
exchange that I may provide a more detailed write-up on once I receive my card.

AUTOMATED GREEN HOUSE
July 22, 2019 Mike Leave a comment
Purpose:
The greenhouse needs to be self sustaining and tolerant to drops in temperature
and light condition. It can be scaled up and/or out for larger and/or varied
environments.
Abstract:
A temperature/humidity sensor will monitor conditions polling every n minutes
and a minimum/maximum can be set. Upon trigger of a low temperature event, a
relay will trigger heat. A high threshold will trigger a fan, and optionally an
automatic window opener.
A moisture sensor (hydrometer) will be used to monitor the soil conditions once
or twice daily. The optimal moisture level will need to be calibrated by
watering plants to their ideal moisture conditions. If the moisture level drops
below the ideal threshold, a subroutine will run to trigger a pump to irrigate
the soil, monitoring the moisture level once per second until the ideal
threshold has been re-established. A rain catcher could be implemented for the
pump to draw water from, with the heat from the greenhouse melting snow in the
winter. Alternatively, a water source will need to be provided but is out of the
scope of this implementation.
A light sensor will be used to monitor the light levels at regular intervals.
The aim is to conserve energy usage while ensuring plants get the optimal amount
of light throughout a preset time window. If during the window, the light drops
below a set threshold (calibrated depending on required growing conditions). A
relay will trigger the lights to turn on. If using lighting that does not cycle
well, the light threshold should be calibrated to below the amount of light at
sunrise/sunset. Otherwise, shade/overcast lighting conditions should be used to
supplement available light throughout the light time window. Furthermore, this
can be expanded to multiple lighting channels to control color temperature for
encouraging vegetative growth or flowering (for example MH vs. HPS HID lights,
or blue vs. red LED). A simpler separate system can be used which would involve
a garden timer powering lights to produce the minimum light requirements to keep
the plants in their light cycle time requirements. If using a 16/8 light/dark
cycle, calculate the minimum day length of the winter solstice and power off the
lights between this day’s sunrise and sunset times. Adjust start/end times
accordingly as the light/dark cycle requirements change – note this will require
manual intervention if not integrating into the system as above.
A camera can be used to detect motion if required, or to track progress of plant
growth remotely. The sensors will also report near real-time data allowing
override of lighting, water, temperature ahead of the pre-determined action
intervals.
This system can be modified to aggregate data from multiple sensors to obtain an
actionable average value for any given parameter, or, could be multiplexed into
zones as required. A combination of these to methods could be used, for example,
having a single heat source, but multiple channel lighting and irrigation. Of
course, this would increase the complexity of the system and may exceed the IO
capabilities of the interface. Instead, multiple standalone systems could be
deployed, in a modular fashion, not leveraging all of the available capabilities
of the system, provided there is at least one system functioning for each of the
required parameters – temperature, moisture, and light.
Materials req’d (minimum)
Raspberry Pi – recommended Pi Zero WH ~$20
Temperature/Humidity sensor (1 GPIO) – ~$2
Heater – appropriate wattage to heat area to required temperature above frost at
<100% utilization Fan - USB fan could be modified to be used without requiring
relay Moisture sensor (1 GPIO?) - ~$3 each on Amazon
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07KPH1KLC Water pump - ~$4 each on Amazon for
low voltage https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07BKXJXK1 Tubing - Appropriate
size for pump and environment, optional irrigation kits can be used which
contain T-adapters an various nozzles such as:
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07M72H7YX Light sensor (1 GPIO?) - ~$10 or
build your own with a photo-resistor Lights - LED recommended, ideally able to
produce >25000 lux for all plants within the growing area. Wattage/lumen
calculations exist based on growing area and distance from light source but
expect at least 30W per sq. ft.
Relay x4 (4 GPIO) – ~$2+ per channel depending on number of channels
Technical details
We can re-use the 2-3 power GPIO pins (Ground, 3.3v, 5v) so we only require 1
pin for each sensor/relay.
It is possible to leverage low voltage pumps (3-5v) which would not require a
relay, assuming there is enough available current to power the pump(s). This
assumes we can default a 5v pin to OFF/DOWN. Otherwise, we are limited to
initializing a 3.3v pin and setting ON/UP for the duration of the watering
period. For simplicity, we will be using 3.3v power in a miniaturized proof of
concept which can be directly expanded to use any voltage pump(s) via a relay.
Automated Irrigation
The moisture sensor requires 3.3v and ground, plus an pin (IN) for DO (digital
output). The sensor is calibrated via a physical resistor to set the threshold.
Once the threshold is met it triggers an event on the pin. This would be
considered the trigger to stop the water flow. There need to be a fail-safe to
prevent the condition where the cable is disconnected and no voltage is present
on the line. This could be accomplished by leveraging the AO (analog output) on
the sensor and an ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) to determine there is a
valid reading. Alternatively, we can set a maximum water on duration to prevent
over watering in the case of a sensor issue.
The water pump can be triggered by an event listener which fires when the
moisture sensor reaches the low threshold. A maximum duration will be set to
prevent over watering, and in the event of the maximum duration being reached,
an alert should be generated for manual intervention due to the possibility of
one of the following: 1) moisture sensor or pump failure/disconnect, 2) water
reservoir out of water. For scenario 1, we can add some redundancy by adding
multiple sensors and pumps for each channel and aggregating the sensor data
using an !AND logic gate configuration where both sensors would be required to
be reporting below the threshold for the watering even to occur. In scenario 2,
we can mitigate this by either using a separate moisture sensor in the
reservoir, mounted above the pump where there is enough volume of water to
perform at least one watering cycle, or a water level sensor. Furthermore, the
maximum duration event should be logged an logic should be implemented to alter
watering behavior to prevent over-watering in the event of sensor configuration
issues. An alternative, would be to override to a scheduled duration in the
event of this type of issue. The water pump requires GROUND plus 1 OUT pin which
will supply 3.3v directly to the pump or to a relay if a higher volume pump is
required.
Heat and Fan
This is simply achieved by relays and polling withing appropriate intervals (~1
minute):
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import Adafruit_DHT
import time
heat=[PIN]
fan=[PIN]
mintemp = 10
maxtemp = 40
humidity, temperature = Adafruit_DHT.read_retry([PIN?], [PIN?])
if temperature < mintemp: GPIO.cleanup() GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(heat,GPIO.OUT) GPIO.output(heat,GPIO.HIGH) if temperature > maxtemp:
GPIO.cleanup()
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(fan,GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.output(fan,GPIO.HIGH)
else:
GPIO.cleanup()
NOTE: requires the Adafruit_DHT library
https://github.com/adafruit/DHT-sensor-library
Lighting
Similar to above except using light sensor. Since a light sensor has not been
obtained at this time, a start and end time will be used for the lights. This
requires some manipulation of the datetime string (import datetime) and could be
expanded to multiple morning/evening schedules. Ideally, once the light sensor
is obtained it will be calibrated to the minimum amount of light and a
not-before and not-after time of day will be configured. When the available
light drops below the threshold it would trigger the lights. To prevent the
lights from cycling too frequently, a longer polling interval should be used
since the lights will need to be turned off to meter the newly available light.
If the start time is 6AM and the light is below the threshold, the lights will
be turned on. If we check the light hourly, at 7AM the lights will turn off and
a metering will occur. At this time there may still not be enough light so the
lights will turn on again. At 8AM we may have enough light, so the lights would
turn off and stay off. Later in the day around sunset we may drop below the
threshold, perhaps 9PM the lights turn on again but at 10PM they need to turn
off. Once 10PM hits, it will be after the not-after time and the light will turn
off until the next day 6AM not-before time.
Real-time metrics and interaction
In addition to the less frequent polling, we will check all sensors at a regular
interval, likely once per minute. All data will be sent to a web service via
variables in a querystring such as
https://server/agh?temperature=20&light=1&water=1&reservoir=1&heat=0&fan=0&pump=0
This call will also allow for any variables to be updated, which can be done
using either a database or plain text file on the server. A web interface will
report the values as well. The text file might look something like agh.txt:
temperature=20
light=1
water=1
reservoir=1
heat=0
fan=0
pump=0
mintemp=10
maxtemp=40
notbefore=6:00:00
notafter=22:00:00
lastupdated=2019-07-22 16:00:00
This can be accomplished using urllib2:
import urllib2
url =
https://server/agh?temperature=20&light=1&water=1&reservoir=1&heat=0&fan=0&pump=0
response = urllib2.urlopen(url)
The response can be parsed for the appropriate values and previous/default
values can be used in event of a loss of connectivity to the server (the server
can also be localhost if no network connectivity is available, however variables
could only be modified upon restoration of connectivity).
Power Considerations
In addition to the materials costs, there may be a significant cost to operate a
large scale setup due to power consumption requirements. The main factors
contributing to this are heat and lights. We also need to consider the
limitations of a typical 15A circuit. If heat and lights are required on the
same circuit we are limited to approximately a 5×5 ft. (25 sq. ft.) growing
area. This would allow for the required ~750 watts of lighting and a ~1000w
heater which should be enough to heat a slightly larger than 25 sq ft room with
moderate insulation. If heat can be supplemented from another source, and we
only require lighting, we could potentially expand to 8×8 (64 sq. ft.) area or
more, depending on supplemental light from the sun, and other factors related to
the light requirements of the plants.
In the worst case scenario, it would cost up to 8 dollars per day in energy
costs for only 25 sq. ft. if you had to run 1000 watts of heat around the clock
and 750 watts of lights for 16 hours per day assuming 20 cents per KWh
electricity cost. This is not feasible, but on the other hand, if heat is not a
consideration, and there is a sufficient amount of light, a 64 sq. ft. growing
area could be operated at 12+ hours of light per day by running up to 1800 watts
of lights for around 4 hours each day during the winter months where the day
light is only ~8 hours for under $2 per day. Using similar numbers for the 5×5
area would be well under $1 per day. An average setup could expect to cost
between $1-8 per day in power costs meaning anywhere from $300 to $3000+ per
year. The absolute lowest cost could be achieved by only using this solution to
keep plants alive through the winter and not try to flower, meaning less heat
and light requirements (above frost, and supplemental light to keep vegetative
growth, at least 12+ hours per day).

COOKING WITH AN ITALIENNIUM: PASTA AL FORNO CON ANIMALE
April 29, 2019 Mike Leave a comment
A recipe.
Why? Because my Nonna doesn’t cook anymore and my parents don’t understand the
internet. So, I decided to take what I learned on Sundays and make it my
own/bring it into the 21st (but pre-millennial) century.
The ingredients.
~1 can diced tomato
Favorite pasta sauce (store bought or home made)
~1 pound ricotta cheese
a few pounds of assorted cheeses (mozzarella, and similar)
as much hard cheese as you can afford (parmasean, reggiano, asiago, or similar –
to taste)
a lot of ground animal meats (beef, veal, and similar)
(Spicy) Italian sausages
Cubed stewing meats (optional)
Eggs (optional)
1-2 pounds elicodali, rigatoni, pennoni, or other large cylindrical pasta
olives/sundried tomato (optional – to taste)
oil/spices to taste (black pepper, various “Italian” herbs)
onion/garlic/zucchini or similar vegetable (optional – to taste)
The scientific method (the recipe).
In a very large saucepan or stock pot, heat oil and lightly brown and spice
onion/garlic/zucchini, ground meats, sausage, and cubed meats, optionally
draining excess water/fats if not lean.
Add favorite pasta sauce and diced tomato (and optionally eggs, olives/sundried
tomato), simmering for many hours uncovered until the cubed meat is tender and
sauce is cooked down to optimal flavor and texture.
Remove sausages and cut into ~1 inch slices, adding back into sauce.
Preheat oven to ~400F and begin boiling water.
While waiting for the oven to preheat and water to boil, grate all but the hard
cheese into a multi-cheese blend.
Lightly salt boiling water (or heavily if you are not using olives), adding
chosen pasta.
Add ricotta cheese to the sauce mix and stir until the chunks are at a desired
size, distributed evenly throughout, you may turn off the heat at this time.
Coat a very large/deep ‘metal oval oven roaster’ or casserole dish with some oil
to prevent pasta from sticking to the sides.
IMPORTANT: Deliberately undercook pasta, draining before it has reached al
dente, you will need to work quickly to perform the next step so that the pasta
does not dry out/stick. Optionally, you could drain approximately 1/n of the
pasta at a time (where n is equal to the number of layers of alternating
pasta/cheese/sauce you choose dependent on how deep your oven container is) 2-4
is an acceptable range for n.
For each layer n:
Distribute 1/n pasta in container, covering with approximately 1/n of the sauce
mixture, followed by approximately 1/(n+1) of the multi-cheese blend, then grate
a small amount of hard cheeses for additional flavor. Ensure the pasta is fully
covered with sauce. Repeat for the remaining layers.
Add the remaining ~1/n cheese so that there is approximately double the amount
of cheese on the top compared to each of the layers, then grate some more of the
remaining hard cheese before placing uncovered in the oven.
Bake for at least 20 minutes, until cheese begins to brown, optionally changing
to broil during the last few minutes of cooking.
Remove from oven and use a metal serving utensil to cut through the layers
without disturbing the baked cheese and serve. This dish can be very flavorful
(see salty) so you may want to serve with only a small amount of fresh ground
pepper and additional grated hard cheese.
Serves many meat lovers.

March 8, 2015 Mike Leave a comment
While it may seem like a long time, the 3 year validity period for the new MCSE
