Concentration gradient method: characterizing diffusion

Here is a movie showing the displacement due to diffusive motion of the oxygen molecules in the simulation system that I'm using to develop the "concentration gradient method."

It will be interesting to see the oxygen diffuse across the membrane, which begins at around Z=25.

The first exchange

 "Change is coming and we need to break free.  We must become independent." Her eyes reflected skepticism and uncertainty. "You have the means of production and the expertise.  Food is necessity and yours is good.  We need you",  reasoned Edmund. "What am I going to do with gold coins?  I can't pay my bills or buy anything with it," she finally replied. "Ok, how about I pay half in gold and half in money.  Then if you need anything, you can always trade the coins back to me.  Consider it a promise, a record of debt.  Alternatively, you can also sell it at the Gold Nugget in town if you really need." "You know you're not being very convincing, but ok.  Let's do it.  What do you need?" "Today, leaf lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes, 20 pounds of each.  And then 20 pounds more every week this month.  Can you do that?" "Yes."   Edmund walked away with Summer and Alex, the gravel crunching with each step. ...

Chi fall anticipates EIP-1559?

Wednesday, 2021-08-04 11:04 AM CT.  The last transaction of Chi Gas on Uniswap V2 traded at a price of 1.6173e-4 Eth/Chi, paying a gas price of 76 gwei on the Ethereum network. The price of Chi continues to fall against elevated gas prices and contracting supply (2,031,988 CHI).      Chi may be falling in anticipation of the upcoming EIP-1559 upgrade, which changes the transaction fee mechanism on the Ethereum network.  Uncertainty about the continued usability of Chi after the upgrade may have users waiting to see what will happen once the upgrade launches.  The planned should occur in about 20 hours.

Chi Gas falls as supply contracts

Image
Monday, 2021-08-02 11:05 AM CT. The last transaction of Chi Gas on Uniswap V2 traded at a price of 1.9664e-4 Eth/Chi, paying a gas price of 42 gwei on the Ethereum network. The price of Chi has fallen in spite of seemingly elevated gas prices and contracting supply (2,101,973 CHI).      To make a transaction on the Ethereum network, users must pay a fee denominated in "gas". The amount of gas that is paid is dependent upon the complexity of the transaction. A transaction that simply transfers tokens from one address to another will require less gas than a transaction that utilizes smart contracts deployed on the Ethereum block chain.
