This crypto being called CryptoRuble and being rushed to market. In this article he breaks down the characteristics, or possible ones at that, and some details. This was something I didnt know and am now learning more about because of @joseluismejia. Thanks :) -=- ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSvZ8U2mh6H3emq3ne9HqQ76Ds6wanpztm1a8ZdPHqSaB/SponsoredCuration_Bottom.png) _____

________ ## An MSP/Steemit member needs our help! Join Yusaymon appreciation month to contribute! ## https://steemit.com/charity/@minnowsupport/an-msp-steemit-member-needs-our-help-join-yusaymon-appreciation-month-to-contribute Author: @minnowsupport Curator: @bethalea ![U5dthQZCdA3qE9p4nbUAZhdrkh1AGsc_1680x8400.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcJdmdFKDf3Kvvp1rRCiRimp7wf2akdMNFn4aJ6nWfvTD/U5dthQZCdA3qE9p4nbUAZhdrkh1AGsc_1680x8400.png) -=- This is a post about a fellow Steemian, @yusaymon. @yusaymon needs our help to stay afloat in the Dominican Republic, where he is living in order to make money for his family in Venezuela. This isn’t a post about *poor* @yusaymon, however. This is a post about the community that surrounds him and the depths of appreciation they have for their friend. He has inspired this community to come together and create art to benefit him, in the form of a contest. This is exactly the thing about Steemit that is glorious and good; the part that deserves our time and attention in order to save it, no matter how difficult we find the day to day operations. We rally around our community members, around our friends in their time of need and celebrate the beauty each one of us brings to this platform. Thank you, @minnowsupport; thank you @msp, thank you @inquiringtimes for showing each one of us how to be good friends and community members. And thank you, @yusaymon, for inspiring so many. All of my good thoughts are with you in your journey. Good luck, and keep Steeming. -=- -----

______________ ## The road to a bright future. ## https://steemit.com/nature/@voronchihin/the-road-to-a-bright-future Author: @voronchihin Curator: @bethalea ![](https://steemitimages.com/0x0/http://s019.radikal.ru/i606/1710/3d/20c830d8a074.jpg) -=- This really caught my eye. I love photography, as I’ve told y’all before. And I love a great black and white sometimes more than anything. This post is short, but I invite you to look, and let yourself see what you see. The author tells us what they see, which I appreciate, and I see something totally different. Which is what I think great art is all about, don’t you? To help us all see something a little different, but engaging us in the same discussion? To see not only our differences but our similarities? This is what this photo brought me, @voronchihin, thank you! I hope to see more from you! -=- -----

_______________ ## Differential Approach to The Solubility of Salts in Water ## https://steemit.com/science/@kedi/differential-approach-to-the-solubility-of-salts-in-water-20171016t17919165z Author: @kedi Curator: @nicnas ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmV8T1q34vwDrp3Cqo7869RcYskjDCvpGktzTv24qfa9uz/asdasdasd.jpg) -=- Science. Not too much for me to understand on this post. It kind of goes over my head. But if you like science or want to learn more about the Solubility of Salts in water than this is a good read. @kedi breaks down the formulas and the science behind this process. Definitely worth checking out, even if you do not understand the equations as well. -=- -----

___________ ## Top 10 Foods of Malaysia ## https://steemit.com/food/@inseasia/top-10-foods-of-malaysia Author: @inseasia Curator: @nicnas ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNvcCV7XcVAFCadM3XqjFHPudXhrkexPwyq5CKDsutgDv/Roti-Canai.jpg) -=- This is one of those articles that makes you hungry. Reader beware. Do not check this article out if you dont like to eat. But in all seriousness this article by @inseasia is one of those that would make you want to cook something different. I love the top 10 Malaysian meals and am really craving to try a few of them right now. -=- -----
