“Weird NFT” collective ARTBAD challenges Bored Ape Yacht Club with TOAD.PNG NFT Drop, and a Squid Game-themed Exotic NFT

Toronto, Canada / January 3, 2022 / SEAPRWire /- TOAD.PNG, a new collectible series of NFTs, is minting in late December through early January, created by ARTBAD, a trans-national brother/sister coding/artist duo that designs and creates “weird NFT” projects. A direct competitor to NFT series such as Bored Ape Yacht Club, Cryptokitties, and SupDucks, TOAD.PNGs “are down to have a chill time, love being a little weird, and can’t help vibing so hard, even if they wanted to,” according to a statement by the creators. The members of ARTBAD itself have interesting pedigree; at the center is a team of two siblings – “John” and “Z”. John is an engineer who has worked at Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and Protocol Labs; and Z is an award-winning artist whose clients include NBC. So what does TOAD.PNG have over its competitors? No Gas Fees: TOAD.PNG NFTs do not require any gas fees for buyers and resellers as they are built with the Polygon blockchain. Because of network congestion, gas fees can cost buyers $40-$180 per transaction, so skipping those fees passes on some huge savings for potential buyers.Decentralized: All TOAD.PNG data is “frozen” – i.e. written directly on the blockchain, wi...

Do We Need to Change NovationWire’s Expectations for Issuing News Releases?

HONG KONG – Ultimately when Users purchase advertising or send a press release, Users want people to view customers’ ad or news release. To put valuations into perspective, we will use the example of ad words. When someone uses ad words, they pay for the number of times that an ad is clicked on. The amount of information Users placed within an ad was extremely restrictive up until reigns were loosened not too long ago. For example, Users are now allowed two headlines of 30 characters each and a description line of 80 characters. According to Practical Ecommerce, this is a recent increase) we must remind you, this is characters and not words. With an average word length of 5 characters (according to Quora, this means Users would have 16 words for a complete description of customers’ ad. In the world of AdWords, the cost per click can vary quite significantly. Variations can range from $2 – $50 per click of customers’ ad. An article over at Forbes.com mentions that new businesses are dropping $5 or more per click, with some up to $60 per click. That can add up fast. Where the concern lies is that because Users have only been provided with average 16 words in customers’ description, t...

Youth molested niece as he was addicted to hentai – a manga genre that has sexually explicit images

SINGAPORE - A youth who molested his young niece three times last year told police investigators that he committed the offences as he was addicted to hentai - a genre of Japanese manga and anime characterised by sexually explicit images. The Malaysian offender, who turned 20 in August this year, targeted the girl who was between six and seven years old at the time. The court heard that her mother is his older sister. The youth, who pleaded guilty to three counts of molestation on Friday (Dec 17), cannot be named due to a gag order to protect the victim's identity. Deputy Public Prosecutor Grace Teo said the offender moved to Singapore in March last year to live with his older sister and the victim. He later molested the child on two occasions while she was sitting on his lap. The youth, the victim and her mother were at a friend's home on June 27 last year when the mother saw her daughter sitting on the offender's lap, watching an anime show on his tablet. The woman thought that they looked as though they were "hiding something" from her and confronted her brother who admitted to molesting the girl. The mother alerted the police two days later and he told them that he molested his ...

SINGAPORE - A 46-year-old foreigner was found on Wednesday (Dec 15) to be in possession of undeclared Singapore and foreign currencies totalling $31,023. He was among 23 travellers who arrived at Changi Airport that day and were hauled up for failing to declare cash of more than $20,000, or failing to pay taxes on cigarettes, liquor and other items. The police, Immigration and Checkpoints Authority and Singapore Customs said on Friday (Dec 17) that the travellers were caught following a seven-hour operation at Terminals 1 and 3. The agencies added that they will be conducting more operations with the easing of travel restrictions. "All travellers are reminded that the authorities will not tolerate any illegal activities as we strive to safeguard our land, air and sea borders against crime and security threats, including smuggling activities and non-compliance with our regulations," they said. The 23 travellers detained include a 57-year-old foreigner who failed to declare the $25,000 of Singapore and foreign currencies he had on him.

Celebrity Spacs leave famous winners looking more like losers

elean

NEW YORK (BLOOMBERG) - Betting on flashy names like Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter, Shaquille O'Neal and Martha Stewart to boost blank-cheque companies this year left investors mostly in the red. Just about the nicest thing you could say about celebrity-backed special-purchase acquisition companies (Spacs) and the firms they brought public is that they've lost less for investors than benchmarks for the whole Spac category. After that, things get ugly: 21 out of 33 Spacs tied to famous public figures have posted negative returns for 2021. Not counting the Spac tied to former US President Donald Trump, which minted a phenomenal gain of more than 400 per cent, the rest of the group averaged an 11 per cent drop through Dec 13, with rapper Jay-Z's 84 per cent plunge the worst of the bunch. Only two managed gains of more than 10 per cent, trailing far behind the S&P 500's 24 per cent rally. It's a stark and expensive lesson: While an A-list person can attract attention for a blank cheque company amid a US$155 billion glut of new offerings, it hardly ensures superior returns. "Celebrities are eye candy, unless there's really good reasoning to have them on board," said Matt Tuttle, whose Tuttle Capi...

Omicron is an economic threat, but inflation is worse, central bankers say

NEW YORK (NYTIMES) - There is still a lot scientists do not know about omicron. There is cautious optimism - but no certainty - about the effectiveness of vaccines against this fast-spreading variant of the coronavirus, and experts do not fully understand what it means for public health or the economy. But central banks have concluded that they don't have the luxury of waiting to find out. Facing surging inflation, three of the world's most influential central banks - the Federal Reserve, Bank of England and European Central Bank - took decisive steps within 24 hours of each other to look past omicron's economic uncertainty. On Thursday (Dec 16), Britain's central bank unexpectedly raised interest rates for the first time in more than three years as a way to curb inflation that has reached a 10-year high. The eurozone's central bank confirmed it would stop purchases under a bond-buying programme in March. The day before, the Fed projected three interest rate increases next year and said it would accelerate the winding down of its own bond-buying programme. The perception that the Bank of England would "view the outbreak of the omicron variant with greater concern than it actually d...

NEW YORK (AFP) - Weakening tech shares led a retreat in US equities on Thursday (Dec 16), with major indices closing lower and undercutting the prior day's rally sparked by the Federal Reserve's renewed inflation-fighting efforts. Investors also had to digest a flurry of other central bank announcements including the Bank of England's rate increase and the European Central Bank's decision to follow the Fed down the taper path and end its stimulus asset-purchase programme. The moves highlighted the growing concern among policymakers about price increases in major economies, but did not assuage markets' fears that central banks may have moved too late. "It is still astonishing that (Fed chairman Jerome) Powell did not notice that inflation was not transitory until November, when it had been a topic in every conversation since the spring," said Gregori Volokhine of Meeschaert Financial Services. The tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 2.5 per cent to finish the day at 15,180.43. The benchmark Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 0.1 per cent to end at 35,897.64, while the broad-based S&P 500 fell 0.9 per cent to 4,668.67.
