A new startup called Revealer is on a mission to create sound backup solutions for cryptocurrency mnemonic phrases and seeds. Just recently the company launched its first product dubbed ‘Revealer Zero’ – a small card system that visually encrypts and decrypts digital currency seed phrases or any alpha-numerical secret.
Revealer Zero Visually Encrypts a Cryptocurrency Seed Phrase
Revealer Zero is a new product created by Tiago Romagnani Silveira that allows users to print and store cryptocurrency backups in a visually encrypted manner. The secret can be decrypted optically “without a computer or any special knowledge,” explains the company. Basically, each Revealer has a unique code with 128 bits of entropy encoded in hex format, while the last three digits represent a checksum. Entropy is the ‘randomness’ found in a computer’s operating system which is utilized in many types of computational cryptography like creating public and private key pairs.
“The version number indicates the dimension of the revealer, the 128 bits of entropy are used as random seed to generate the noise that is encoded on the card — The checksum offers some protection against a typing mistake,” explains the company’s website.
Decrypt the Secrets Without a Computer
Essentially the product offers a deep cold, two factor backup for any random alpha-numerical secret or cryptocurrency seed. Revealer is a one-time pad that offers 128 bits of entropy that’s based on a cryptographic scheme developed by the well-known cryptographers Moni Shamir and Adi Naor. The user simply uses the platform’s encryption dialogue box to encrypt a cryptocurrency seed with the ‘randomness’ derived from the host computer. Then the program visually obfuscates the secret with cryptographic scheme called ‘noise’ which can then be printed. The seed or special secret can be decrypted with the Revealer card and the protocol will also be able to be used with an Electrum Wallet plugin.
Revealer says ‘aezeeds’ and ‘BIP 39 seeds’ that use more words, do fit on the cards, but font size is smaller and the software will adjust for character length. The product is a one-time solution meant to be used only once for the most optimal security, but the product does ship with two cards. The Revealer Zero encryption card sets costs €19.90 and the startup’s shop accepts BTC for payments.
Raw Noise
The company also says that the firm’s product allows the user to encode the cards and the startup has virtually no access to the cryptographic paired secrets. In the frequently asked questions section, a question states: “But why should I trust you?”
“You shouldn’t, please don’t — Even if we were malicious, or compromised, we don’t know your secrets,” Revealer emphasizes.
We send you raw noise, encoded in a card. You generate your secret and encrypt it for the card on your own computer. Ultimately you add noise to your otherwise exposed backup with a Revealer.
Revealer Zero is an interesting concept for those looking to secure their cryptocurrency-based mnemonic phrases. News.Bitcoin.com also recently reportedon another product called Safewords; a distributed backup system that secures digital asset seeds in a unique fashion.

Russian crypto-media have asked a meaningful question – why World Cup tickets can’t be bought with cryptocurrency. Credit card payments and bank transfers are currently accepted, but are they an option for every fan who wants to go to the stadium? And, is it really impossible to get a ticket with your bitcoin?
Despite the growing popularity of both cryptocurrencies and football, in Russia and around the world, it’s been said that it’s currently impossible to buy a ticket for the Mundial with bitcoin… or is it? Less than two months before the start of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, crypto/football fans want to know if spending digital coins is something they can do in the host country, the Russian Federation.
Almost 1.7 million tickets have been sold so far, the Organizing Committee announced a couple of weeks ago, after completing the second stage of the ticket sale. Tickets will be available again on April 18, when the last phase of the online sale is scheduled to start. From May 1, the remaining tickets will also be available at designated FIFA Venue Ticketing Centers.
Football fans from dozens of countries will visit Russia for the 21st FIFA World Cup which will take place from June 14 to July 15. They all need to buy a ticket if they want to enjoy the atmosphere on any of the 12 stadiums that will host the matches. Officially tickets can be purchased online with a Visa, the official partner of the World Cup, with other payment cards, and through a bank transfer.
Non-Russian residents can send international wires after they fill out a “ticket application form” that can be downloaded from FIFA.com. Spectators are also required to obtain a special Fan ID to get access to the stadiums. According to the organizers, the document guarantees “comfort and safety” at the football venues and “free public transport” in the Russian cities.
A growing number of people around the world now prefer using cryptocurrencies for payments and cross-border money transfers. In countries with high inflation rates or under international sanctions, using bitcoin or another digital currency has become business as usual. For other nations, dealing with strict government control over bank transactions, international transfers may not be an option at all.
Generally speaking, “why not pay with crypto?” is a good question for mostly practical reasons. That’s why the Russian outlet Bitcrypto News recently asked both the Organizing Committee and FIFA why cryptocurrencies are not among the available payment options for the World Cup tickets. Of course, they never got an answer from the organizers. There is an answer, though, and, here it is…
When There’s a Will, There’s a Way
Rest assured, football fans and bitcoin enthusiasts! Your coins will be accepted in the Russian Federation, one way or another. When there is a will, there is a way, as the saying goes! Tickets, accommodation, exchange – there are plenty of opportunities to spend your cryptos!
If you are looking for a place to stay, a hotel chain in Kaliningrad takes bitcoin. Malina Apartments in the western Russian exclave will be happy to accept your cryptos. Need some Russian cash? No problem – a crypto change is now open in Moscow. Its rates are not what you’d get online, but hey, it’s a crypto exchange in the heart of a capital city. You’ll find the bureau close to one of Moscow’s main railroad stations, “Kursky Vokzal”. Certainly, these are not merely exceptions.
Want to get a football game ticket with bitcoin? Well, there is a solution, although FIFA doesn’t know about it yet. At least two companies are now offering services through cards issued by the leading international payment providers. Both can be used in Russia and on FIFA’s website, actually pretty much anywhere else, too.
If you want to respect FIFA’s choice of sponsors, try Wirex. After a short veto, new Visa debit cards, with multiple currency accounts in GBP, EUR, USD, and of course BTC, are again available in Europe. Plastics have been issued already to customers in select countries, like the UK, as news.Bitcoin.comreported. Virtual cards are available in other markets, for example – Sweden.
“We are going to issue plastic cards in Europe in 4 weeks”, Wirex told one of the applicants a couple of days ago. Check availability on their website, but in any case you should be able to order and receive your prepaid Visa debit card in time for the Mundial.
And if you prefer the competition, check the Epayments website. They offer a Mastercard that you can fill up with your bitcoins. Bitcoin cash (BCH) is also accepted in their wallet, along with litecoin and ethereum. You can also load your card with fiat – dollars, euros, and even rubles are accepted through Yandex money and Qiwi accounts.
Epayments cards are also prepaid. By the way, the company does not hold custody of your cryptos, they are exchanged immediately. There is no service fee, if you spend 300 euros a month. For the World Cup trip, at least, that sounds like nothing. Check out the other fees before you order your card by signing up with your email. You can have it shipped for free. Delivery times for most countries are between 2 and 8 weeks, but there is also an express delivery option.
So, if you want to enjoy football and bitcoin at the same time, there you have it!

E enviei um anúncio para meus assinantes de email:
O que levou a um aumento significativo no tráfego (incluindo quase 5 mil visitantes em um dia):
9. Crie conteúdo que agrade aos influenciadores
Aqui está a verdade:
Se você deseja que pessoas influentes compartilhem seu conteúdo, você precisa escrever coisas que interessam diretamente a esse grupo.
Exemplo:
Há alguns anos, criei um infográfico para um cliente no nicho de investimento.
Mesmo que esse nicho esteja longe de ser “interessante”, nosso infográfico se tornou viral. Estamos falando de milhares de visitas direcionadas nos dois primeiros dias.
Aqui está o infográfico:
Now there are dozens of reasons this infographic did so well… from the design to the content promotion campaign.
But a good chunk of its success was due to one simple thing:
It appealed to the influencers in the personal finance space.
I’ll explain.
I noticed that, at the time, a lot of high-powered financial bloggers were up in arms about inflation:
So I decided to create an infographic that highlighted the problem they cared so much about.
And this led to shares and mentions on several authority sites…
…and a boatload of traffic.
10. Share Videos On LinkedIn
LinkedIn is growing FAST.
In fact, a recent study found that the number of people sharing stuff on LinkedIn has increased significantly in 2018:
That’s great and all. But HOW do you use LinkedIn to increase traffic to your website?
Post video content.
Por exemplo, aqui está um vídeo que eu postei recentemente no LinkedIn:
2 semanas depois, meu vídeo tem:
634 gostos
106 comentários
31 mil visualizações
Tente fazer esse tipo de engajamento no Facebook 🙂
E agora é hora de eu mostrar outra maneira legal para as pessoas visitarem seu site …
11. Organize um Concurso de Doação
As pessoas adoram coisas grátis.
(Nenhuma surpresa lá)
Mas o que pode surpreendê-lo é: você pode usar material gratuito para obter mais tráfego.
Como?
Organize um concurso de brindes.
Aqui está um exemplo de um concurso que meu amigo Noah Kaganreuniu recentemente:
Veja como isso funciona?
Para participar do concurso, as pessoas precisam fornecer seu endereço de e-mail (você as adiciona à sua lista de e-mail).
Fica melhor:
Você pode incentivar as pessoas a compartilhar seu concurso com os amigos:
(E esses compartilhamentos direcionarão mais tráfego para seu site e aumentarão sua lista de e-mails)
Agora:
This contest was done with KingSumo. But if you have the technical know-how, you can set this up yourself.
12. Add “Share Triggers” To Your Content
In my experience, content largely succeeds or fails based on one factor:
Whether or not the content has Share Triggers.
What are Share Triggers?
They’re things you include in your content that push people to share it on social media.
A lot of these principles were first discovered by behavioral scientists like Dr. Jonah Berger, Dr. Katherine Milkman and Jure Leskovec.
And they’ve proven in the lab what I discovered through trial-and-error:
When you include Share Triggers in your content, people are significantly more likely to link and share it.
For example:
One of the most powerful Share Triggers is Social Currency.
Social Currency is the idea that we share things that make us look good. And this Share Trigger is a large part of the reason that The Shrinking Dollar infographic I mentioned earlier did so well.
Specifically, this infographic confirmed what influencers were already saying: inflation is a big problem.
And my content backed up their rants with meaty data:
Every time an influencer shared my infographic with their audience, it boosted their Social Currency.
So they shared it… again and again.
It even got included in Google News thanks to a feature in The Christian Post.
All because I strategically added the “Social Currency” Share Trigger into my content.
Very cool.
13. Retarget Visitors With Facebook Ads
Let’s face it:
Facebook ads can be EXPENSIVE.
Fortunately, I found a little “loophole” that’s helped me get laser-targeted visitors for pennies:
Retargeting.
Here’s how it works:
First, create a Facebook ad that sends people to a blog post.
Here’s a real-life example:
Next, target people that have visited your site in the last month or two:
Finally, run the ad.
And you’ll probably find that your CPC is dirt cheap vs. most other types of advertising (like Google Adwords).
Nice.
14. Reduce Your Bounce Rate
A high bounce rate damages your site’s pageviews, conversions… and it can even hurt your SEO.
(In fact, thanks to Google’s RankBrain algorithm, bounce rate is now a super important ranking signal).
That’s the bad news.
The good news is that improving your bounce rate is insanely easy.
Getting an influential person on Instagram, YouTube or Facebook to endorse your product can lead to a flood of traffic.
(And sales)
Fortunately, this approach doesn’t require as much gruntwork as it used to.
Instead, you can use “Influencer Marketplaces” like FameBit to connect with influencers that are interested in promoting your stuff.
Sweet.
23. Improve Your Organic Click-Though-Rate
I have some good news:
If you want more traffic from Google, you DON’T need higher rankings.
(Seriously)
Instead, you can focus on improving your click-through-rate (CTR).
For example, let’s say you rank #3 for your target keyword. And your CTR is 4%.
And let’s say that you double that CTR to 8%.
Well, you just doubled your organic traffic… without improving your rankings.
But wait, there’s more 🙂
CTR is now an important ranking signal in Google’s algorithm.
So when you get a higher CTR, you’ll ALSO improve your rankings.
That’s great. But HOW do you improve your CTR?
Here are a few tips that work great:
Add a number to your title (like “17” or “58%”)
Write an intriguing meta description
Test different titles and see which one gets the best CTR
Use titles that are highly emotional
Include your keyword in your URL
Let’s dive right into our next tip…
24. Publish More List Posts
Não há maneira de contornar isso:
Quando se trata de direcionar o tráfego para o seu site, as mensagens da lista funcionam EXCELENTE.
E há provas para sustentar isso.
(Além do fato de que você está lendo um post da lista agora mesmo)
Como mencionei na estratégia # 15, o BuzzSumo analisou recentemente um milhão de artigos.
Bem, nesse mesmo estudo eles descobriram que as mensagens da lista CRUSHED todos os outros formatos de conteúdo:
Como você pode ver o gráfico, as postagens da lista obtiveram 6x mais compartilhamentos do que as postagens práticas (e 40x mais compartilhamentos que os infográficos).
E quando olho para o meu próprio conteúdo, percebo a mesma coisa.

O Brasil foi contaminado por um forte surto de empreendedorismo. Nos últimos anos, com a crise econômica, milhões de brasileiros optaram por ter seus próprios negócios, movidos por necessidade e falta de alternativas, mas o crescimento do empreendedorismo no país começoumuito antes.
De acordo com a OCDE, de 2005 a 2014 – portanto antes da crise – enquanto o número de empresas em atividade em Portugal caiu 1,3% a.a., na Espanha caiu 1% a.a., nos EUA cresceu apenas 0,4% a.a., no Brasil ele cresceu 5% a.a. Só em 2018, cerca de 2,5 milhões de novas empresas devem ser abertas no país. Isto aumenta a produtividade da economia, à medida que as novas empresas substituem e eliminam do mercado empresas menos produtivas. Enquanto na OCDE, em média 18% das empresas existentes foram criadas nos últimos dois anos, no Brasil 35% delas têm menos de dois anos.
Considerando-se o ambiente de negócios particularmente desafiador a novas empresas que existe no Brasil, com muita burocracia, impostos elevados, baixa disponibilidade e alto custo de financiamento, estes dados surpreendem. Ocorreu uma mudança comportamental da população brasileira, que está reconfigurando o mercado de trabalho no país.
A criação de novas empresas neste ano deve ser maior do que a criação de novos empregos formais e informais, que deve ficar próxima de 2 milhões. Deles, dois de cada três novos empregos, 1,3 milhão no total, devem ser de novos empregadores, trabalhadores por conta própria e em micro e pequenas empresas.
No ano passado, foi parecido. Enquanto o número de empregadores, funcionários por conta própria e trabalhadores sem carteira cresceu mais de 5%, o número de trabalhadores com carteira caiu 2%.
O Brasil juntou-se aos países desenvolvidos, onde há algum tempo tem aumentado o trabalho por conta própria, em função de novas tecnologias e contratos de trabalho mais flexíveis. Aqui, a Reforma Trabalhista deve impulsionar ainda mais esta tendência.
Por outro lado, se a vontade e coragem de empreender no Brasil cresceram, as ambições são, em geral, ainda muito baixas. De acordo com o Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, no Brasil só 4% dos empreendedores esperam criar 6 ou mais empregos nos próximos 5 anos. No México 10% deles têm esta ambição, nos EUA 34% e na Romênia, 40%.
Para piorar, nosso empreendedorismo é pouco inovador. Só 12% dos empreendedores brasileiros oferecem um produto novo ou pouco comum a seus clientes, contra 18% dos mexicanos, 37% dos americanos e 41% dos canadenses.
Isso sugere que, no Brasil, muitos empreendem por falta de oportunidades em empresas grandes, que exigem mão de obra mais qualificada. O fato de um em cada três trabalhadores brasileiros trabalhar por conta própria, o dobro que nos países desenvolvidos, reforça esta hipótese.
O crescimento do empreendedorismo no Brasil é uma boa notícia, mas a qualidade dos novos empreendimentos ainda precisa melhorar. Seria ótimo elegermos candidatos com projetos para qualificar a força de trabalho, que invistam mais e melhor em pesquisa e desenvolvimento, reduzam a burocracia – em particular a regulamentação ambiental e trabalhista e o código do consumidor – que aperfeiçoem a segurança jurídica e as leis de propriedade intelectual, de concorrência e falências, que reduzam a complexidade e a carga tributária e que facilitem o acesso a novos mercados, abrindo a economia brasileira. Aí, ninguém segura o Brasil.
Quando você está em uma entrevista, você pode não estar ciente disso, mas seu entrevistador está observando sua linguagem corporal com muito cuidado.
Quando você está em uma entrevista, você pode não estar ciente disso, mas seu entrevistador está observando sua linguagem corporal com muito cuidado. Sua linguagem corporal diz muito sobre você, então você precisa controlar os movimentos negativos do corpo e incentivar movimentos e hábitos do corpo. Os humanos naturalmente enviam e recebem comunicação não verbal; eles têm feito isso desde o começo dos tempos. Quando sua namorada dobra os braços, mas tem um sorriso no rosto, você não está se perguntando o que ela está perturbada ou preocupada. Em uma entrevista, você nunca quer que sua linguagem corporal contradiga suas palavras, isso faz você parecer um mentiroso. A primeira impressão ou os primeiros minutos de sua entrevista são os mais duradouros.
O aperto de mão: suas mãos devem estar limpas e bem cuidadas e sem transpiração. Você quer permitir que o entrevistador inicie o aperto de mão, que deve corresponder ao entrevistador com firmeza, não dê um aperto de mão mais firme do que eles. Sorria para o entrevistador e olhe-o nos olhos. Deve durar entre dois a cinco segundos. Ao sair da entrevista, o aperto de mão pode durar mais tempo, sorrir e inclinar-se para frente ao balançar.
Aqui estão algumas coisas que você vai querer evitar em uma entrevista:
Segurando as mãos atrás da cabeça
Ajustando sua gravata constantemente
Slouching em sua cadeira
Puxando o seu colarinho
Escolhendo seu rosto ou roupa
Sorrisos apertados ou tensão no rosto
Pouco contato visual
Franzindo as sobrancelhas
Rapidamente balançando a cabeça
Qualquer tique nervoso
Cruzando os tornozelos – significa reter informações
Cruzando as pernas para longe do entrevistador, é ok
Cruzando um tornozelo sobre o outro joelho
Cruzando seu espaço pessoal de entrevistadores
Evite sorrir idioticamente
Roendo nos seus lábios distraidamente
“Fingindo” uma tosse durante uma pergunta difícil
Dobrando ou cruzando seus braços
Evite compulsivamente espetar o chão ou a mesa com o pé
