Mastering Token Swapping on STON.fi: Your Comprehensive Guide to Seamless Crypto Exchanges

Imagine preparing for an international trip. You wouldn’t embark on your journey armed only with your home currency; you’d exchange some of it for the local money to ensure you can navigate your destination with ease. Similarly, in the world of cryptocurrency, token swapping is essential for ensuring you have the right digital assets to meet your financial goals. Whether you're looking to diversify your portfolio, participate in decentralized finance (DeFi), or simply optimize your holdings, understanding how to swap tokens on STON.fi can significantly enhance your crypto experience.

As someone deeply entrenched in the crypto landscape, I’ve navigated the complexities of token swapping and have gathered insights that can help you make informed and confident decisions. Let’s dive into a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to swap tokens on STON.fi, integrating simple analogies to make the process as clear as possible.

Why Token Swapping is Essential

Think of token swapping as changing gears while driving. Just as shifting gears allows you to adapt to different speeds and terrains, swapping tokens enables you to adjust your crypto portfolio to align with your evolving financial strategies. Whether you need to move from a high-risk asset to a more stable one or vice versa, swapping tokens provides the flexibility to manage your investments effectively.

STON.fi simplifies this process, offering a user-friendly platform built on the TON blockchain. It’s akin to having a reliable vehicle that smoothly transitions between gears, ensuring your journey through the crypto market is both efficient and enjoyable.

Step-by-Step Guide to Swapping Tokens on STON.fi

Step 1: Launch the STON.fi App

Begin by opening the STON.fi app on your device. Navigate to the Swap tab, which serves as your central hub for initiating token exchanges. Think of this tab as your digital currency exchange counter, where all the necessary tools are readily available to facilitate your swap.

Step 2: Select the Token You Want to Swap

In the “You Send” section, tap on All Assets and choose the token you wish to exchange. For instance, if you’re holding TON, the native token of the TON blockchain, select it here. This step is similar to deciding which currency you want to trade at a physical exchange booth. You’re essentially designating what you’re ready to offer in the swap.

Step 3: Choose the Token You Want to Receive

Next, move to the “You Receive” section and select the token you want in return. Let’s say you want to receive STON, the native token of STON.fi. This decision is like specifying that you want euros instead of dollars when exchanging currency for a trip to Europe. Choosing the right token ensures you’re prepared for your next financial move within the crypto ecosystem.

Step 4: Enter the Amount

Input the quantity of tokens you wish to swap in the “You Send” box. STON.fi’s algorithm will automatically calculate the equivalent amount of the token you’ll receive, factoring in current market rates and transaction fees. This process is much like checking the exchange rate before converting your money, ensuring you know exactly what you’re getting in return.

It’s important to note that you’ll need a small amount of TON in your wallet to cover transaction fees. Think of this as paying a service fee when exchanging currency at a physical booth—it’s a necessary step to facilitate the transaction smoothly.

Step 5: Confirm the Swap

Once you’re satisfied with the details, click the Swap button. This is your moment to review the transaction, akin to verifying your receipt at a store before leaving. Ensuring all details are correct prevents any costly mistakes, such as accidentally swapping a larger amount than intended.

After double-checking, press Confirm Swap to initiate the transaction. Transparency and accuracy are paramount, just as they are in any financial transaction.

Step 6: Approve the Transaction in Your Wallet

Finally, approve the transaction through your connected crypto wallet. This step is similar to signing a receipt after making a purchase—it authorizes the exchange and finalizes the swap. Within seconds, your newly acquired tokens will appear in your wallet, ready for use.

la baguette, etc.

EDIT: god damn this got longer than I expected

Listening: I almost exclusively listened to Against Me! during this trip for some reason. On Saturday night my metro got interrupted and I got kicked out a few kilometers from my hotel, and after watching a couple full busses skip my stop, I just walked back. I put on Black Crosses for the first time, which is a combination of demos and acoustic versions of the songs from White Crosses which is probably one of my favourite punk albums.

I can't listen to some of Against Me! without having a good bad time because of Memories but I do not have that issue with White Crosses. As far as the demo/acoustic versions go, they are much lighter than the mainline releases which is bad if you want something energetic but good if you kind of want to soak in the lyrics.

There's a lot of great ones on Black Crosses including the obvious ones like Spanish Moss and The Western World but the one that really got me while walking back was the acoustic version of Because of the Shame which is positively heartbreaking when given space like this.

Reading: I fell down a rabbit hole on delta-sigma conversion while doing simultaneous reading up on 32-bit float audio and what the hell DSD is. I will reverse explanations.

Delta-Sigma is a collection of techniques used, roughly, to convert between high-sample-rate, low-bit-depth data and low-sample-rate, high-bit-depth data. A delta-sigma audio analogue-digital converter might sample a low-pass-filtered version of incoming signal at 6MHz and 1-2 bits and use that to reconstruct a 16-bit 44kHz version of the signal. Thanks to nyquist and other various equivalences this works with basically zero quantization error if you chose your filters right.

I was familiar with this from class-D amplifiers, which are effectively delta-sigma digital-analogue conversion, which reproduces a low-frequency analogue signal by feeding a pulse-density encoded chain into an amplifier and a low pass filter.

Anyway, DSD is a silly audiophile brand name for an audio codec that stores the 1-bit pulse encoded form of an audio signal rather than storing traditional PCM audio. Fundamentally if your hardware is correct there's basically no difference in information content or density between them.

This led me to these two good articles on dithering and delta-sigma architecture, among others.

Watching: I stumbled across this ongoing good series on YouTube a few weeks ago discussing trends in marketing movies as being "no CGI" when they are absolutely the fuck not. The second part just came out, but here's part 1:

"No CGI" is always a ridiculous claim in basically any modern movie, but this is a really good breakdown of how a combination of irresponsible journalism and intentionally poor communication creates the impression that tons of incredibly effects heavy movies are actually "free of CGI".

Treating computer graphics and effects as some kind of scourge is a misled reflex. It reminds me a lot of backlash against pitch correction, because in most cases people do not realize how much pitch correction is used in basically all music you hear. Big artists playing live performances are even pitch corrected in real time these days.

It's just part of the business, and in a very parallel way, people expect the output of CGI/pitch correction even if they don't know that. If P!nk were to go out on stage and sing her music without pitch correction you'd hear the effects of her ridiculously energetic acts, and people would bitch about it because as evidenced by people who describe good sounding music systems as feeling "like live music", people don't know what live music sounds like! Live music sounds like crap compared to studio production, you're there to inhale six different kinds of cigarette and get hit in the chest by a drunk girl who isn't paying attention to where she's going.

Wow I have a lot of opinions about how people don't realize how much production is in things. This should probably be a post. Later. Hey this is like guys who talk about "no makeup" look-*I AM YANKED OFFSTAGE WITH A COMICALLY OVERSIZED SHEPHERD'S CROOK*.

Playing: Nothing really! Dark Souls stalled not because I'm stuck but because I was doing other things. Making block took up a lot of time.

Making: Hacked together a very basic proof of concept for inserting my own controller into an LED string. As encouraged by definitely unbiased user @compiler-specific I am going to try and write my own DSL for this, which will probably end up resembling a lisp just because that simplifies my life.

Also almost done with hambanner, an IRC ban management bot. I would have finished that if I was not. In Paris. over the weekend. Hopefully this week.

Tools and Equipment: Sometimes you will find that your phone is dead and you need to find your way back to your hotel in a bizzarely convoluted part of La Défense late at night. And at this time you will be grateful that you took the time to orient yourself relative to local streets and the river and the metro station so that you do not have to find a corner to charge your phone and can instead just get back to your hotel. It could happen to you.

[childoferebus]

time to get heated on an otherwise innocuous post, but wireless headphones are one of the worst, most insidious products to come out in recent times but because they had one of the best marketing pushes of all times they've been universally accepted and I HATE IT.

A small disclaimer here: if you like and use wireless headphones, more power to you! I'm glad you like them, really!

Don't get me wrong, I have a pair of wireless earbuds for work (Cambridge Audio Melomania Touches, 2/10, do not fucking buy these things, but that's a different rant for a different day that is only tangentially related to the fact that they're wireless bluetooth buds.) I do use wireless and I see the appeal. They're nice to have around so you don't get tangled on things, don't pull your headphones off (or out) at mach 3 speeds, you can put your phone somewhere safe so it's not in danger of water/dust/damage/etc. That's great! That's useful!

And in every other sense they're garbage, intended to be garbage, and that's exactly how big companies want it.

From a purely technical point of view, they're a downgrade in every sense. They lag, the latency is an issue, they have to be continuously charged or they won't work. The sound quality is horrendous because you can't fit a sizeable DAC (digital-analog converter) into such a small package and can't crib off of your device's DAC with a connected wire. Not only is the battery of your headphones a consideration, so is the battery of your music device, because bluetooth is a battery hog. The microphones are always crunchy and fizzly, to the point that a $300 pair of wireless headphones can't compete with a pair of $25 wired earbuds. These issues would be bad enough on their own in isolation, but then you bring in the Big Reason Companies Want You To Use Bluetooth:

You'll need to replace them consistently for the rest of your life, which means Apple/Samsung/Google/Whoever has one hand in your wallet and they hardly even have to work for it.

A good pair of wired headphones will last you decades, assuming you treat them with any amount of care. I've used headphones that were built in the 1970s and aside from some changes in speaker manufacturing, they worked fine.

You could baby a pair of wireless headphones, never drop them, never sweat on them, only use them for a few hours a day and somehow never misplace one (or the whole set, as is the case for a set of over-ears) and they are still nothing more than e-waste. The battery has a finite lifespan and once it's done, it's done. Then your expensive pair of headphones (because you paid more for bluetooth privileges) are wiped out and whoops, you gotta get a new pair. Thus the cycle continues. This doesn't even account for loss, damage, bugs, or defects. God save you if you blow them out.

This is GREAT for these big companies. Look at how many things can go wrong! Planned obsolescence is the name of the game and not only did they con consumers into buying this trash, they charged them extra and called it convenience! This doesn't even touch on what a nightmare these things are to the environment. (Yes, I know they can be recycled. How many people do you think are recycling them and not just throwing them in the trash?)

Yeah, wired headphones are kind of a pain in the ass. They've got built-in issues of their own, I'm not saying they're perfect. But goddamn, I'd take my Mezes over AirpodsMax every day of the week.

How was Mortal Kombat's Sprites made

They got small actors who also had talents in marshal arts and stuck them to only wearing one colour they filmed it in a storage space in the back of the pinball manufacturing plant which they converted into a simple studio.

The Footage was shot with a Hi8 camcorder a consumer analog 8 mm tape format that had just been brought into the market by Sony and Canon in 1989.

This had a 400 lines resolution in comparison to VHS tapes which had only 240 lines this made it better for the developers capture images for the big sprites they had envisioned with a limited budget.

Before putting all the characters through the workflow they did an initial test with marshal artist Daniel Pensina. The shot material was loaded in the Hi8 deck and connected to the TARGA board in the work station.

By using the WTARG software Tobias could capture paused frames to digital files. The software reduced them in colour with the newest colour reduction algorithm. Images were booted in contrast and saturation for a more vibrant look and the backgrounds were painstakingly removed frame by frame, the edges in particular required a lot of care, because arcade hardware didn't support transparency values per pixel at the time. Tobias had to make the edges work for both light

and dark background

The test shoot greatly helped to figure out which moves would translate well in low resolution sprites.

To do air attacks they tried to just do it (normally) but this would result in motion blur.

So to solve this they used a small wooden stair so they could keep their position.

Artist John Vogel began to work on the project for the game's background based on Tobias' sketches

He filmed statues and other models with an emphasis of care to where light was coming from and the shadows. The separate Digitized objects were composited in the software package TIPS. Most of the game was digitized to look like the real world art style they were going for.

Programmer Ed Boon

took the digitalized assets and started making the game. He had a good grasp of gameplay and envisioned a fast paced game, to do this reduced the number of frames to minimum to make gameplay responsive, and reduce the overall memory footprint.

To make the game feel impactful he used audio queues, blood that splatters and the shaking of the camera, giving that sense of impact to the player.

Adapting HX711 modules for 3.3V Operation

The HX711 is a versatile integrated circuit (IC) designed for precision analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion, particularly suited for strain gauge load cell applications. It features a 24-bit A/D converter with a differential input stage capable of handling both single-ended and differential input signals. Additionally, this device offers adjustable gain amplification to accommodate various load cell sensitivities.

A common module based on the HX711 available in the market, including on AliExpress, is shown below. This module utilizes its internal analog supply regulator, which ensures a stable analog supply (AVDD) for the ADC and other internal components. The output voltage of the regulator (AVDD) is calculated using the following formula: VAVDD = VBG × (R1 + R2) / R2.

According to the electrical characteristics listed in the datasheet, the reference bypass voltage (VBG) is 1.25V. For the modules mentioned, R1 is set at 8.2kΩ and R2 at 20kΩ. By substituting these values into the formula, we calculate AVDD to be approximately 4.29V.

The HX711 IC operates within a voltage range of 2.6V to 5.5V. However, many HX711 modules on the market come with an internal voltage regulator that outputs approximately 4.29V. This can pose challenges when using the module with 3.3V microcontrollers. Furthermore, the datasheet specifies that the output voltage of the regulator should be at least 100mV lower than the supply voltage (VSUP), making the current regulator's output voltage incompatible with 3.3V supply voltages.

To address this, we need to ensure that AVDD is within the 2.6V to 3.2V range to make the module compatible with both 3.3V and 5V systems. After conducting some calculations, we determined that replacing R1 with 10kΩ and R2 with either 15kΩ or 12kΩ would be ideal. Using a 15kΩ resistor gives an AVDD of 3.1V, while using a 12kΩ resistor reduces it to 2.75V. In one of our experimental boards, we opted to replace R2 with a 12kΩ resistor.

As a further test, we lowered the AVDD to approximately 1.6V, and at this voltage, the HX711 still produced the correct results in our test setup. Interestingly, we observed that swapping R1 and R2 allows us to achieve an AVDD of 1.76V. To test this, we swapped R1 (8.2kΩ) and R2 (20kΩ) in one of the modules, and after applying a 5V supply, we noted that the AVDD returned at 1.65V, with the HX711 still providing correct outputs.

To evaluate the boards, we created a quick prototype using the STM32F405 MCU. In this prototype, we powered the HX711 module with 3.3V and directly connected its I/O pins to the STM32 GPIO pins.

For interaction with the module, we utilized the HX711 library provided at https://github.com/PCov3r/HX711-STM32-Library. The source code for our test firmware is available here.

After making the above modifications, all modules produce a stable output at 3.3V. We tested these modules with both 3.3V and 5V MCUs, using 5kg, 10kg, and 20kg load cells, and it operated correctly across all these combinations.

Soundproofing: You don’t want unwanted noise sneaking into your recordings. Use soundproofing materials like foam panels or bass traps to create an acoustically clean environment.

Software: Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) like Pro Tools or Ableton Live will help you edit, mix, and produce your tracks with precision.

A solid dubbing studio setup ensures you capture the best version of your voice every time you hit record, whether you’re recording vocals solo or layering them with music.

Step 2: Vocal Practice for Beginners to Improve Your Sound

Next, even with the best equipment, you must take the time to improve your vocal abilities. Vocal practice for beginners should be a daily routine if you want to establish good vocal habits that support your long-term health and performance.

For beginners, focusing on the following key areas is crucial:

Breathing Techniques: Learning how to control your breath is foundational. Practice diaphragmatic breathing exercises to enhance your vocal power and endurance.

Pitch Control: Use exercises such as scales and intervals to help you develop pitch accuracy. This ensures your voice is on key and well-rounded.

Range Development: Gradually extend your vocal range through warm-ups and exercises. Avoid straining your voice, and give it proper time to rest after practice.

Remember that consistent vocal practice for beginners strengthens your ability to perform at your best, whether you���re working on solo tracks or preparing to record a cover.

Step 3: Create a Memorable Singer Logo Design

While technical aspects of recording are important, branding is equally crucial for your success as a musician. One way to make a lasting impression on your audience is through a strong singer logo design. Your logo serves as your musical identity and helps differentiate you in a crowded market. A well-crafted singer logo design should represent your genre, persona, and artistic style.

Consider these tips when designing your logo:

Keep it simple: A memorable logo is often a simple one. Think of recognizable logos like that of Adele, Taylor Swift, or Ed Sheeran. Choose clear, readable fonts and avoid unnecessary complexity.

Reflect your brand: Your logo should capture the essence of your music—whether you're edgy, soulful, or pop-driven. Incorporating elements related to your style of music can help solidify your identity.

Be versatile: Your logo will appear across various media, from music videos to social media and merchandise. Make sure it works in both black and white and color formats.

Once your singer logo design is in place, it can be a great marketing tool when promoting your songs, particularly as you start to distribute your music online.

Step 4: Distributing Your Music with Vevo Songs Download

When your music is ready, it’s time to get it heard. Vevo songs download offers an incredible opportunity for distribution, helping to make your songs available to millions of listeners worldwide. As a popular platform for music videos, Vevo songs download allows artists to showcase their tracks with accompanying videos. However, be sure that your music videos align with your singer logo design and reflect the branding you’ve worked hard to establish.

To maximize the effectiveness of Vevo songs download, consider these steps:

Optimize for SEO: Use proper keywords, tags, and descriptions for your video to enhance visibility on Vevo and other platforms.

Promote via social media: Share the video link on your social media channels, building anticipation among your followers before the release.

Step 5: How to Record a Song with Music

Now, it’s time to focus on how to record a song with music. Whether you’re recording a cover or an original track, the process remains the same. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Prepare Your Space: Before you begin, make sure your dubbing studio setup is ready. Check your equipment, set up your microphone, and adjust your audio interface for the best sound quality.

Practice First: Ensure that you’ve done your vocal practice for beginners beforehand. This will ensure you have warmed up and are ready to give your best performance.

Recording Your Vocals: Start by recording your vocals solo. Focus on delivering an emotional and powerful performance, capturing the true essence of your song.

Add Music: Once your vocals are laid down, it’s time to add instrumental tracks. Whether you’re using pre-recorded tracks or creating new ones, ensure that the music complements your vocal performance.

Mixing and Mastering: Finally, work on mixing the vocals and the music together. This is where your DAW and audio expertise come into play, as you balance levels, EQ, and effects.

By following these steps, you’ll know exactly how to record a song with music that showcases your skills and ensures your sound is polished and professional.

As technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, many computer components become obsolete and are replaced with newer, more efficient models. However, there is one piece of technology that has stood the test of time and continues to be a crucial part of our everyday lives – the modem. And interestingly enough, this seemingly mundane device shares a surprising connection with a once-mighty and now extinct animal – the direwolf.

Firstly, let’s understand what a modem is and its function. A modem, short for modulator-demodulator, is a device that enables computers to transmit data over a telephone or cable line. It converts digital signals from a computer into analog signals that can be transmitted over traditional phone lines and vice versa. In simpler terms, it allows our computers to connect to the internet.

Now, you might be wondering – what on earth does this have to do with direwolves? Well, to answer that, we have to take a trip back in time to the Ice Age. Direwolves were large, majestic creatures that roamed the Earth over 10,000 years ago. These magnificent animals were about 25% bigger than modern-day wolves and were known for their powerful build and hunting prowess.

So, how are modems connected to these fearsome predators? The answer lies in the names of some of the first modems ever invented. In the late 1950s, modems were just coming into the market and had names that reflected their capabilities. One of the most notable was the Modulator 1959-Direct Dialer. Its creators were fans of Game of Thrones (who isn’t?) and were particularly fond of the Stark family’s symbol – the direwolf. So they named their modem "the Dire Marsian" as an ode to both the direwolf and their own Marsian Electronics company.

Since then, many modem models have emerged with names influenced by the fierce and powerful image of direwolves. Some of these include Dire Wolf, Dire Thunder, and Dire Wildcat. This is a testament to the lasting impact these extinct animals have had on our collective imaginations.

But the connection between modems and direwolves doesn't just stop at names. Just like the formidable direwolves were essential for survival in the harsh environment of the Ice Age, modems have become an essential part of our modern-day lives. With the rise of the internet and the digital age, modems have become crucial for communication, business, and nearly every aspect of our daily routines. Without them, we would be cut off from the endless opportunities and resources that the online world offers.

In conclusion, while modems and direwolves may seem like a strange pairing, their connection goes much deeper than just names. Both have been and continue to be important components in their respective eras, showcasing the evolution of technology and the resilience of nature. So the next time you connect to the internet, take a moment to appreciate the unlikely link between your modem and the mighty direwolf.
