Microtasking Meets Crypto: JumpTask Review

Microtasking is gaining traction all over the world. Knowing that it is a great source of extra income, more and more people tend to join various websites and services that provide them income for doing small tasks. One of the newcomers in this field, JumpTask, provides numerous short tasks and rewards users with crypto for completing them. Could it be the next big thing in the microtasking market?

What is JumpTask?

According to their website, JumpTask provides a way for companies to make the most of a globally distributed workforce by providing micro task solutions. That is, companies need to complete certain big tasks, whereas JumpTask spreads those huge tasks into a bunch of small ones and lets the users complete them for rewards.

At first sight, it does not offer anything too different from other websites in the ever-growing microtasking market. However, the interesting thing about JumpTask is that the rewards the users receive for completing tasks are provided using a cryptocurrency called JumpToken (JMPT) instead of, say, points or fiat currencies.

This cryptocurrency was created by the JumpTask team, and it has been there since the launch of JumpTask as a platform. The use of it for paying users makes JumpTask stand out compared to other similar services.

Considering that the payments are made using a cryptocurrency, needless to say, you need a crypto wallet in order to use JumpTask fully. Though it should not scare you if you are not familiar with how crypto works, as certain login options on JumpTask allow you to log in using your social media accounts, and the wallet is created for you automatically when you do so.

Earning on JumpTask

Similar to other websites that offer users rewards for completing small tasks, JumpTask has various different task types available, creating a wide array of choices for the user.

The task types are spread into different categories: offers, games, surveys, staking, and Honeygain. The offers category gives you a list of various microtasks to do. A lot of them involve downloading a certain app, registering for a certain website, or doing some sort of quiz. You can sort these offers out by the reward they give out, making your search easier. Needless to say, more difficult offers that require more effort are worth way more. After all, installing an application takes more time and effort than completing a simple quiz.

The games category is somewhat similar to a lot of offers available in the offers category. Here, all the tasks involve games. The most common instruction to get rewarded is to install a game and reach a certain level in the said game. The surveys category is about as self-explanatory as it can be. As it is a true staple of microtasking platforms, no wonder it is available on JumpTask too.

The remaining two earning options/task types are, surprisingly, based on passive income. The Honeygain option lets you earn JMPT for sharing your internet bandwidth. You would need to install a separate application in order to do so, but it would bring you income completely passively.

The other option is staking. There you would put some of your JMPT into so-called staking pools, and as time goes by, your JMPT would start growing. It uses the same principle as any other cryptocurrency (that can be staked) uses. You get rewarded for locking in your crypto, sort of like gaining interest payments on the money you keep in your bank.

Safe entry to crypto

Considering that JumpTask is completely free to use and it pays you in crypto for completing tasks, it can be considered a great entry point for those not familiar with the crypto world.

Using cryptocurrencies pretty much always involves purchasing some cryptocurrency, in other words, spending money. As the prices of crypto are very volatile, this could potentially mean big losses. This is true for both newcomers to the crypto world as well as veterans. You may never know how it will go.

Now, as JumpTask gives you free crypto for completing simple tasks, this eliminates the notion of investment. You do not have to spend money in order to get JMPT, yet you can use it as you will. You can trade it on PancakeSwap, you can sell it, you can buy some more – it is all up to you.

However, the key point remains – with JumpTask, you can safely try out cryptocurrency trading and check if it is for you or not. With no investment, you would not have any losses.

All in all, JumpTask brings some fresh winds into the microtasking market. Having a unique approach of paying out in crypto as well as providing passive income options makes it a versatile way to make some extra money. Also, as you gain crypto for completing tasks, it makes JumpTask a great entry into the crypto world as a whole.

 

 

 

Five steps to become a data-driven business using technology

Every organisation and industry has had to transform in recent years. All are striving to move faster, become smarter with data and innovate more with technology. The main message I’ve been hearing from business leaders in every corner of Ireland is that digital transformation is a must-have. As organisations navigate this journey of change and transformation, they manage increasingly complex data and tasks. And while data is considered critical for any efficient operation, it also has the potential to become the number one barrier to transformation. Jason Ward Vice President and Managing Director, Dell Technologies Ireland tells us more. 

According to the recent Breakthrough study of 10,500 knowledge workers, business decision-makers, and IT decision-makers undertaken by Dell Technologies, 42% of organisations in Ireland believe the opportunity to become a data-driven business will pass them by. Another way to put this is that at every business conference you attend, there is a chance more than half your peers are worrying about data.

Going deeper, 30% of Irish respondents believe their people won’t be able to keep up with technological change. It is an interesting paradox. While technology is an enabler to human potential and it has significant business benefits, the number of solutions and settings to navigate can overwhelm workers with too many choices. From my interactions with customers facing the same challenges, I noticed the path out of the data labyrinth is often a mix of the right set of tools with a human perspective. Here are five steps to help Irish businesses navigate their digital transformation:

1. Have a clear shared vision of how digital transformation can help you realize your business goals.

Every IT problem starts with a business problem. Before laying down the foundation on how to deal with your data, think about the challenges you are trying to solve as a company. Once you have that vision, you can articulate the right technology solution and partner with the IT experts on your team to build a plan. You don’t have to build an aggressive timeline. A phased approach accounts for your most important asset – your people. Give them enough time to understand the strategy and align to it.

2. Invest in appropriate edge and as-a-Service Strategies that can scale.

As-a-service experiences help ease or drop the infrastructure management burden on your teams. When working with a flexible IT consumption model, you can operate with agility. But you can also control and scale your environment, adapting to different dynamics. And then there is an opportunity in the edge – where you can act on data near its point of creation to generate. With real-time data analysis, you can act faster and reduce the cost concerns associated with sending large amounts of data to a central location. This is especially true in industries like retail, healthcare, and even public transportation.

3. Automate mundane tasks.

The research shows that people would be willing to partner more with technology if the personal benefits are clear. In fact, 66% of respondents in Ireland would look forward to having more time to develop their skills and elevate their roles. By automating work, people are available to focus on what inspires them and on uncovering business opportunities. The curiosity mindset is a valuable skill for data analytics. And once your teams have enough time to look at the data with a strategic approach, you start to pave the way for insights-driven decisions.

4. Start with small-scale pilots.

The sandbox environment is perfect for the test-and-learn method. People feel safe, and you have control over the impact. It is one of the best tactics to gain insights from analytics while stimulating people to adopt and publicize the successes. At this point, you go back to the number one step in this framework. Look at the initial business problem. Combine your newly added technology with your team’s recent gains in time to generate a positive outcome. Then assess your pilot. Replicate. Scale.

5. Provide adequate coaching, mentoring, and reassurance. 

Real breakthrough happens at the intersection of people and technology. Thus, it is paramount to recognise that while consumption-based IT models provide the necessary breathing room to your teams, you must deploy them in ways that are sensitive to human behaviour. Make sure that everyone is accessing the necessary tools and has enough training and resources to use them to their fullest. Communicate and establish a platform to contribute ideas and be heard. Lack of communication is one of the areas where respondents say their teams struggle the most.

At Dell Technologies Ireland, we have been helping leading companies leverage data in order to enhance business performance. Through our partnership with Ronan Daly Jermyn (RDJ), we’re enabling one of Ireland’s top law forms to harness the power of data to transform its legal services and adopt a hybrid working model running on Dell Technologies infrastructure.

Outpacing competitors also requires organisations to embrace new technologies. The Dell Technologies Ireland team is well positioned to help businesses realise this goal. Thanks to the work being undertaken at our 5G Edge Labs, led from Cork and Limerick, we are bringing together 5G, Edge Computing and Machine Learning to prototype next generation products and services for the global and Irish markets.

I am optimistic about the role that technology plays a role in unlocking a company culture shift toward data-driven decisions. Once organisations augment human capabilities with automation and consumption-based IT, they create new opportunities and experiences that excite their team, while delivering incredible business outcomes.

How Tech Can Streamline Hotel Operations

Are you looking for ways to streamline your hotel’s operations and make your guests’ stays more enjoyable? The hotel industry is always looking for new ways to improve its guests’ experience. To keep up with the competition, hotels are turning to technology to help them streamline their operations. From check-in and checkout to room service and housekeeping, there are several ways that technology can help your hotel run more smoothly. This article will discuss ways that tech can help you improve your hotel operations. Let’s get to the list.

Manage the Front Desk

Technology can help you manage the front desk more efficiently. You can use it to track guest information, manage reservations, and process payments. You can also use it to create a digital concierge that can help your guests with their needs. However, you need reliable front desk software for hotels that can handle all these tasks without problems. You can get such a system from reputable companies with experience in providing software to the hospitality industry.

When choosing technology to manage your front desk, it is important to consider its features, ease of use, and price. You also must ensure that it is compatible with your hotel’s existing systems. Besides this, ensure that it’s cost-effective to use in the long run and will not require much maintenance.

Improves Housekeeping Operations

Another way that technology can help you streamline your hotel’s operations is by improving your business operations. You can use it to track room status, manage guest requests, and communicate with Housekeeping staff. You can also use tech to create an automated housekeeping system that can help you save time and money.

Ensure that the technology you choose is user-friendly and can be integrated into your existing systems. For instance, if you are running a huge hotel, you will need a system that can handle a lot of data. You can choose a simpler system if you are running a smaller hotel. You can also use tech to create an automated housekeeping system that can help you save time and money.

Smart Energy Management

Technology can also help you save money on energy costs. You can use smart energy management systems to monitor and control your energy usage. These systems can help you adjust your settings based on occupancy levels and weather conditions. They can also help you track your energy usage over time so that you can make changes to reduce your costs.

To get the most out of these systems, it is important to choose ones that are user-friendly and can be easily integrated into your existing systems. You should also look for systems that offer data analysis to make informed decisions about your energy usage. For instance, if your energy usage increases during the summer, you might want to change your cooling system.

Better Communication with Guests

Technology can also help you improve communication with guests. You can use it to send automated messages, manage reservations, and keep track of guest preferences. You can also use tech to create a mobile app for your hotel that guests can use to book rooms, check in, and request services.

When choosing technology for communication, it is important to choose systems that are easy to use and offer various features. For instance, you might want a system that allows you to send automatic messages to guests when their room is ready or when special amenities are available. You might also want a mobile app system so guests can easily access your hotel’s services from their smartphones.

Smart guest experience

Technology can also help you create a more seamless and personalized guest experience. You can use it to track guest preferences, send automated messages, and manage reservations. You can also use tech to create a mobile app for your hotel that guests can use to book rooms, check in, and request services. In addition, hotel distribution software plays a crucial role in enhancing the overall guest experience. This software allows you to manage room availability and rates across various online distribution channels efficiently.

When choosing such technology for your guests, focusing on those that will truly improve their experience is important. For instance, you can consider installing digital check-in kiosks to make the process more efficient. If you want to focus on creating a more personalized experience, you can integrate guest data from various channels into one CRM system, and this integrated approach offers a comprehensive understanding of guests, allowing you to provide them with highly tailored services.

Predictive Maintenance

Hotels have a lot of machinery, and keeping them running smoothly is essential to streamlining your operations. Technology can help you do just that. This technology uses data to predict when equipment will need maintenance or repairs. This can help you avoid costly downtime and keep your hotel running smoothly.

When choosing predictive maintenance technology, it is important to look for systems that offer data analysis, and that can be easily integrated into your existing systems. You should also look for user-friendly systems so you can easily manage your maintenance schedule.

Big Data and Big Data Protection

As a hotelier, you are probably aware of the importance of data. You use data to track guest preferences, manage reservations, and keep track of your energy usage. You can also use data to create a more personalized guest experience.

Nowadays, so much data is available that it can be difficult to know what to do with it all. That’s where big data comes in. Big data is a term used to describe businesses’ large volume of data. This data can be used to improve your hotel operations in several ways.

When it comes to big data, one of the most important things to consider is data protection. With all of this data comes the risk of data breaches. That’s why it’s important to choose technology that offers data protection. When looking for such technology, you should look for systems that offer encryption and secure storage.

Remote Check-In/Check-Out

Another way to streamline your hotel operations is to offer remote check-in/check-out. This service allows guests to check in and out of your hotel without coming to the front desk. Guests can use their smartphones or other devices to do this. For instance, they can book a hotel while at home or in their car.

When offering remote check-in/check-out, it is important to choose secure and user-friendly technology. You should also consider how this service will fit into your overall operations. For instance, you will need to have a way to manage keys and keep track of guest preferences. Besides this, be mindful of security features and those that will improve the guest experience.

Overall, technology can help streamline hotel operations in several ways. It can create a more efficient check-in process, track guest preferences, and even predict when equipment will need maintenance. When choosing technology for your hotel, it is important to focus on systems that will benefit your guests and staff the most.

Tech Review – Soocas W1 White Cordless Portable Water Flosser

The dental industry is huge money and there is thousands of products on the market today to help keep your delph clean not only that other areas in the dental industry is huge and when it comes to getting certain procedures done people will pay big bucks to have their teeth shine and often go abroad to do so, there is no need to have a set of teeth that requires sunglasses to look at but some do it but there is products available that are affordable too and this brand that sent us over this kit to check out is one of them.

Brand Story
Founded in 2015 by Even Meng, Soocas is a company that focuses on R&D and design of electrical personal care products. Some of the product categories Soocas has to offer are electric toothbrushes, water flossers, shavers, and hair dryers.

Regarding the R&D, there are 850m² or about 9,150 ft2, 18 individual testing labs, 320+ technology patents granted, 200+ inspection equipment in Soocas lab, and the certification of FDA, CFCC etc. Regarding the Design, they have won Germany’s iF World Design Award 4 times, Germany’s Reddot Design Award 3 times, Japan’s Good Design Design Award 2 times, China’s AWE Design Award once

Headquartered in Shenzhen, Soocas team specialises in designing and producing elegant and premium products with innovative technologies to improve customers’ quality of life.

In recent years, the electric toothbrush has reached a wide spread of audience. However, one of the most common things that electric toothbrushes share is the tradeoff between size and motor. This leads us to ponder if we are capable of finding the perfect balance between the two components and creating an electric toothbrush that is a compromise of size and power.

Soocas W1 White Cordless Portable Water Flosser

What is it all about then, You get a well presented package to start with and an easy to use product with several heads that are interchangeable and easy to do so on the container there is settings to adjust the speed for the desired head in use, now for me it was a simple product to use and after two weeks of use I could see and feel a difference in my teeth and the clean feeling you get from a dentists visit after a polish and scale which is advisable every six months.

What is great with this it is portable but do ensure there is no water inside when travelling and I have carried it on recent trips out of the country so for plane travel it is fine.

5 Ways Technology Can Improve Business Operations

Humans have engaged in commercial activities since the dawn of time. This concept of exchanging goods or services developed into modern businesses. The business model has evolved and taken different shapes. As the world progresses, businesses improve their operations to become more efficient and appealing to customers. 

These days, businesses are heavily reliant on modern technology, especially the internet. By understanding how technology influences commerce, you can formulate efficient business strategies. An efficient company completes its goals in the least possible time and resources. Here are a few ways technology can make a business more efficient. 

1. Improved Communication

Effective communication is essential for every business. It allows multiple company branches to work together effectively by minimising delays. Efficient communication ensures no communication gap occurs between employees and managers. It also considers consumer opinion and integrates it into the producer’s production process. 

Emails make business inbound communication efficient. Emails are quick and relay important information. You can connect a company’s email addresses and prioritise inbound ones through email analytics software. This program allows company problems to be quickly detected and fixed through effective communication. The software also provides a report on the communication process that the business can utilise to improve communication further. 

Establish a good customer service system to reduce the communication gap with customers. Customer service software can help you prioritise customer queries, so none remain unanswered. You can also use the program to send customised automatic messages. Instant replies increase customer satisfaction and raise brand loyalty. 

2. Reduced Operating Costs

Technology simplifies the job for many workers in businesses. For example, accounting software can scan entire budgets and compile them in one place. They no longer require bookkeeping. The software reports are always accurate, so accountants do not have to spend hours ensuring there is no mistake.

Businesses frequently take advantage of accounting and payroll software for accountants to reduce the likelihood of errors and streamline their financial operations. These tools also provide valuable insights into the company’s financial health, making it easier to track expenses, income, and forecast future budgets.

Instead, accountants can use that time to analyse the budget reports and make crucial decisions about where to make budget cuts and provide more funding. The software reduces operating costs by automating some jobs. Accounting software directs finance employees to work efficiently. It also ensures that other company departments have the correct funding to work optimally and reduce company resources. Another way to reduce operating costs is to upgrade to a leave request software to eliminate the need for any printed paperwork for your team’s time off management. 

3. Enabling Remote Working

Technology has opened businesses to remote work possibilities, which the companies heavily practiced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Remote working is also used to connect employees from around the world. The technology ensures that remote work is efficient and effective. 

Team managers could communicate with employees through video conferencing platforms and set expectations. The latest 5G mobile network ensures robust communication, reducing the chances of a poor internet connection. Cloud storage not only stores a vast amount of data but also makes sharing work quick and reliable. Team managers can assess employee work and make changes directly. Similarly, scheduling software can keep workers on top of their work. Remote working also ensures a better work-life balance – says Slava Vaniukov, expert and CEO of Softermii.

4. Digital Advertising

As technology evolves, our reliance on it grows. Because of its addictive algorithm, many are beginning to use social media as their primary form of entertainment: 81% of American adults have social media accounts. Businesses can also create appealing social media accounts to increase their reach. A specific theme can help your product stand out. Social media also lets consumers post paid advertising campaigns that utilize their algorithm. The algorithm has user preference information and matches advertisements to users according to their internet history. This ensures that marketing resources are not wasted on uninterested people. 

Similarly, users look toward an online digital magazine for information. These magazines have easy-to-understand information on a wide variety of topics. Due to advertisements, they are free to read and only take up space inside your phone’s memory. These digital magazines are SEO optimised, so by placing an advertisement in a related digital magazine article, you enable genuinely interested customers to view your product. These advertisements are also cost-effective as there are no physical copies to print.

5. Improved Security

Heavy reliance on technology for functioning also puts the business at risk. Malware and viruses can corrupt the entire system, causing vital information to be deleted. Thankfully, technology also provides us with a solution. A converged security and information management (CSIM) platform serves as a defence against unauthorised access.

A security system sets up a firewall on the company’s software so no external source can access it. It also has spyware detection and anti-virus features that ensure no software programs installed on the system contain viruses and malware that can corrupt files. They also have a password protection application against internal threats. If the system cannot operate against an intrusion, it will immediately inform the business manager so that they can take the proper steps. A security system is becoming necessary to protect vital research and development data as security breaches become more prevalent.

Endnote

Technology has changed the way businesses operate. It is present in every sector of industry. A company that does not integrate a technological mechanism into its work can not hope to compete in saturated markets. Researching new ways to integrate technology into your business can give you an upper hand against your competitors. The strategies will be more efficient, and you will be able to attract new customers. 

Bolt upcycles retired scooters to create first jewellery collection

Bolt has partnered with award-winning Estonian designer Tanel Veenre to upcycle its old scooter models into earrings, bracelets and pendants.

The collection, called Hardwear, includes over 100 hand-crafted pieces that have been made from the same ultra-lightweight, ultra-durable aircraft-grade aluminium used in Bolt’s fleet of over 230,000 scooters.

The collection includes pieces that have been finished with reflective coating for extra visibility at night, keeping wearers safe as they move around their city at night during the darker hours.

Bolt’s creative lead on the project, Kerttu Keermaa, said: “The Hardwear collection is built on the same guiding principles as Bolt scooters: sustainability and safety. The upcycling process follows a zero-waste approach, with any leftover material undergoing our regular recycling process. We believe that road safety is a shared responsibility and wearing reflective items can make pedestrians and cyclists more visible at night.”

Bolt currently operates in 500 cities across 45 countries in Europe and Africa, including Dublin. The European mobility champion operates ride hailing services in Dublin and Cork, as well as electric bike schemes in Sligo and Kilkenny.

The jewellery has been created in collaboration with award-winning Estonian designer Tanel Veenre. Tanel’s signature whimsical style has been exhibited in over 300 solo and group exhibitions around the world. He has been awarded at London Fashion Week and is the recipient of the several international and local design contests including the Estonian Cultural Awards.

To create each piece, Tanel began by removing the distinctive green paint from Bolt scooters before cutting and shaping the metal and anodizing and painting the jewellery by hand.

Following this first collection, Tanel will continue to create jewellery from Bolt’s old scooter models. These will be available for sale on his website from Thursday 27th October.

Designer Tanel Veenre said: “Scooters are becoming increasingly popular across Europe and as newer generations are created older models become outdated. These old models are always recycled but it was great to use the quality materials that make up a Bolt scooter for this unique project. It was something completely out of the ordinary for me and I learned so much about working with aluminum – something I’d never done – and worked with geometric forms which is unusual for me.” 

Bolt operates scooters and e-bikes in more than 230 cities across 25 countries in Europe. It is the largest scooter provider on the continent with over 230,000 scooters in operation
