Crypto Academy / S5W3 - Homework Summary [Advanced Level] - BitTorrent Speed Wallet

It's my pleasure to be writing again at our dear academy. Last week, a lecture was presented by professor @sapwood which was titled BitTorrent Speed Wallet, this article would be used to give the summary of the lecture including the performance of the participants.

Before we can talk about BitTorrent Speed Wallet, we have to trace it back to what must have been its origin, which is the BitTorrent network and what gave birth to the renovation of BitTorrent network, knowing that it's integrated to the Tron Blockchain. Let's go back on talking briefly about the Tron blockchain, this is a digital platform that is aimed at making sharing of entertainment products through its peer-peer (P2P) protocol easy, which comes with no involvement of third parties. In addition, the Tron network is known for its improved scalability, low transaction fee, and compatibility with Smart Contracts, amongst other features.

BitTorrent has been an existing peer-peer file-sharing protocol since its inception until it was integrated with the Tron blockchain to bring about decentralization in file sharing. Now to torrenting, files available on a torrent network are regarded as torrents which are bits of data from different connected devices/users, and that makes torrenting the process that involves downloading/uploading torrents from the distributed system on the torrent network. These bits of torrents are gathered from several devices/users to make it whole and downloadable for the user in need of it.

Seeding is another thing to talk about as far as BitTorrent is concerned, this is what I termed liquidity for the torrents, but in this case, seeding is aimed at making torrent files available for others to take advantage of. As such, on the network a user chose to make a torrent available by seeding it to enable it to be downloadable for other users, it could be bits of file or complete files. In return for seeding, users get rewarded in BTT (BitTorrent Token) and note that the more the seeds on a torrent the faster the speed of download of the torrent.

And BitTorrent Speed Wallet makes the accessibility of torrent files easy, also allowing users that enabled seeding on downloaded files to earn BTT rewards. In addition, users that want to enhance the speed of the download of torrents can pay BTT to have access to enhanced download speed. Let's take a look at the observations in last week's entries.

In this section of the summary, we would be looking at the observations in the last week's homework task entries received. Let's take a walk through it.

Clarity of language does not always have to be the use of words or how conversant you are when it comes to using correct grammar in your content but encompasses how you were able to clarify your point about a context. I've seen users writing two paragraphs without being able to explain what the question seeks to hear from the participants. It's not about lengthy articles, it's about how you have clarified what was asked, as such, I will advise participants to work on proper clarification of their answers.

In this section, we can also talk briefly about the presentation. The structure of your content is one of the things that would interest your audience. What does it profit a student with a good article that lacks proper structuring? It disrupts a good read. Endeavor to use proper formatting for your content, make your images sizeable such that it's not too big to occupy the full screen of your readers. If you have used any HTML syntax, be sure that you have not left any opened which can dent your content, and always proofread to take care of some typo errors. Kindly take note.

All tasks given are meant to be attended to as long as the teacher didn't give options to choose from certain available questions. If a student chooses to do things his/her way as regards the questions given, it would affect the marks, take note of that. In the homework task, some students encountered issues while transacting, you could have queried what has happened and put it into writing, likewise, I have seen users with enough resources but chose to leave certain parts of a task. That's not a good practice, it takes away your marks, always aim to complete every task given. Some of the transactions that failed during the In-App to On-Chain in the Speed wallet is as a result of low resources, depositing some TRX into the Speed wallet would have addressed that, while some failed due to other technical issues.

It's important to properly analyze your answers, giving the precise response to each question and supporting it with examples as experienced from the task given, as such, this would add up to the quality of analysis, and you'd earn the mark for that.

For the week that just ended in the crypto Academy, the homework task on "BitTorrent Speed Wallet", a total of 25 entries was received for the homework task, and not all was reviewed within 48hrs, apologies for such an occurrence. We would be showing the performance of participation in this section, see the performance table below:

Excellent represents grades within 9 - 10, Very Good for grades within 8 - 8.9, Good for grades within 6 - 7.9, Average for grades within 5 - 5.9, Below Average for grades below 5, Plagiarized are the contents that are found to have been copied from another source without proper reference and Invalid are incomplete articles/Users Powering down/Insufficient SP for the Advanced level. For this week, there are no records of below-average content, plagiarism, or invalid entries. Take a look at the charts below.

In conclusion, the performance of the students that participated in BitTorrent Speed Wallet homework task is quite great. That said, some entries were on the verge of taking over but unfortunately, a few inconsistencies cost them and I hope they learn from their mistakes and apply the corrections to come back stronger in the next homework tasks in the Academy. Like I've highlighted, students can make use of Grammarly to improve the delivery of their content as far as the grammatical aspect is concerned. Thank you.
