CARMEN SANDIEGO (2019): Becoming Carmen Sandiego + Julia’s tablet

An App Does Not a Master Naturalist Make

Originally posted on my website at https://rebeccalexa.com/app-not-master-naturalist/ - I had written this as an op-ed and sent it to WaPo, but they had no interest, so you get to read it here instead!

I have mixed feelings about Michael Coren’s April 25 Washington Post article, “These 4 free apps can help you identify every flower, plant and tree around you.” His ebullience at exploring some of the diverse ecological community around him made me grin, because I know exactly what it feels like. There’s nothing like that sense of wonder and belonging when you go outside and are surrounded by neighbors of many species, instead of a monotonous wall of green, and that is a big part of what led me to become a Master Naturalist.

When I moved from the Midwest to the Pacific Northwest in 2006, I felt lost because I didn’t recognize many of the animals or plants in my new home. So I set about systematically learning every species that crossed my path. Later, I began teaching community-level classes on nature identification to help other people learn skills and tools for exploring their local flora, fauna, and fungi.

Threeleaf foamflower (Tiarella trifoliata)

Let me be clear: I love apps. I use Merlin routinely to identify unknown bird songs, and iNaturalist is my absolute favorite ID app, period. But these tools are not 100% flawless.

For one thing, they’re only as good as the data you provide them. iNaturalist’s algorithms, for example, rely on a combination of photos (visual data), date and time (seasonal data), and GPS coordinates (location data) to make initial identification suggestions. These algorithms sift through the 135-million-plus observations uploaded to date, finding observations that have similar visual, seasonal, and location data to yours.

There have been many times over the years where iNaturalist isn’t so sure. Take this photo of a rather nondescript clump of grass. Without seed heads to provide extra clues, the algorithms offer an unrelated assortment of species, with only one grass. I’ve gotten that “We’re not confident enough to make a recommendation” message countless times over my years of using the app, often suggesting species that are clearly not what I’m looking at in real life.

Because iNaturalist usually offers up multiple options, you have to decide which one is the best fit. Sometimes it’s the first species listed, but sometimes it’s not. This becomes trickier if all the species that are suggested look alike. Tree-of-Heaven (Ailanthus altissima), smooth sumac (Rhus glabra) and eastern black walnut (Juglans nigra) all have pinnately compound, lanceolate leaves, and young plants of these three species can appear quite similar. If all you know how to do is point and click your phone’s camera, you aren’t going to be able to confidently choose which of the three plants is the right one.

Coren correctly points out that both iNaturalist and Pl@ntNet do offer more information on suggested species—if people are willing to take the time to look. Too many assume ID apps will give an easy, instant answer. In watching my students use the app in person almost everyone just picks the first species in the list. It’s not until I demonstrate how to access the additional content for each species offered that anyone thinks to question the algorithms’ suggestions.

While iNaturalist is one of the tools I incorporate into my classes, I emphasize that apps in general are not to be used alone, but in conjunction with field guides, websites, and other resources. Nature identification, even on a casual level, requires critical thinking and observation skills if you want to make sure you’re correct. Coren’s assertion that you only need a few apps demonstrates a misunderstanding of a skill that takes time and practice to develop properly—and accurately.

Speaking of oversimplification, apps are not a Master Naturalist in your pocket, and that statement —while meant as a compliment–does a disservice to the thousands of Master Naturalists across the country. While the training curricula vary from state to state, they are generally based in learning how organisms interact within habitats and ecosystems, often drawing on a synthesis of biology, geology, hydrology, climatology, and other natural sciences. A Master Naturalist could tell you not only what species you’re looking at, but how it fits into this ecosystem, how its adaptations are different from a related species in another ecoregion, and so forth.

In spite of my criticisms, I do think that Coren was absolutely onto something when he described the effects of using the apps. Seeing the landscape around you turn from a green background to a vibrant community of living beings makes going outside a more exciting, personal experience. I and my fellow nature nerds share an intense curiosity about the world around us. And that passion, more than any app or other tool, is fundamental to becoming a citizen naturalist, Master or otherwise.

―  STEP ONE:  PREPARING YOUR MUSIC

if you want to have music play on your carrd, the most important thing is, of course, the music. just make sure you have whatever song you want to have played in your files, and if you don't already have it, make sure to download it. now, the next step is to share your file so you'll get a direct file link you can later use in your music player code. personally i'm gonna be using and explaining the dropbox method for this, but there are other ways to do it as well. upload the music file to your dropbox ( either directly or to a special folder, whatever you prefer ) and then click the share button. then create link and copy link and you'll end up with a link that should look something like this: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/j904wa1i2e229tdfa4rkb/ok-3.gif?rlkey=jy7822s2rrgaszj3jduggxn9k&dl=0 to create a direct download link out of this one, take out the 'www' and instead replace it with 'dl' so you'll have something like this: https://dl.dropbox.com/scl/fi/j904wa1i2e229tdfa4rkb/ok-3.gif?rlkey=jy7822s2rrgaszj3jduggxn9k&dl=0 save this link somewhere or keep it handy because we're gonna need it again a little later once we actually start working on the carrd.

―  STEP TWO:  GET THE MUSIC PLAYER ON YOUR CARRD

for the next step, we're gonna be looking at different music player codes. there are a wide variety of ready-to-use ones already available ( for example here ) or if you are good at coding, you can always create your own as well. whatever you prefer and feel more comfortable with. once you've found something you like, copy the code because it's finally time to actually put it all on your carrd. if you have multiple sections and want your music to be played in all of them, either use a header or a footer and if you only want it in one, put it in the one you want to use for this. click on the little '+' to add an embed element to your carrd ( it's the one with this symbol: '</>' ). scroll down to the 'code' section and paste the code of the music player you've previously copied there. next thing you need to do to make sure it plays the song you want is to locate the '<audio id="audio" src="link here"audio"></audio>' and replace the link with the direct file link of your music. to see if you've been successful, you either need to publish your site or save it as a template ( in case you aren't ready to publish it yet but still wanna check if everything worked as planned ) and it should display the music player and play your music once clicked.

―  STEP THREE:  CUSTOMIZE IT ( optional )

the last, and optional, thing you can do is customize it to your preferences. this is best done if you have a little knowledge and understanding of html coding, but minor things like changing colors can totally be done without it. for example, if you want to change colors just locate those within the code ( titled 'color' or 'background-color' and they should have a hexcode number right beside it ) and change the hexcode to whatever you want to use. or if it includes text, you can change the font size ( aptly titled 'font-size' ). you can just play around with different settings to see if you'll get something you like ― most of it within the '<style></style>' section of the code is pretty self-explanatory.

i don't know if anyone is interested in this but i wrote a little guide for how to get the facegen params from elden ring, both of the NPCs actually used in the game and all the others, whatever their purpose might've been

it's a little long so i'm putting it under a cut

for this, you need two things: Elden Ring the game for the PC, and the program DSMapStudio.

so first thing in order: get DSMapStudio here. download the .zip from the github and extract it wherever you want. inside are two version of the program - the regular version (DSMapStudio.exe), and the low requirements version (DSMapStudio_LowRequirements.exe) that only has the param and text editing functions and not the map viewing/editing function. if your computer can handle it, i would still recommend using the regular version as it shows the names of the known NPCs when you look at the faceparams.

open the program, and in the file menu, pick "New project". in the window that opens, give the project a name of your choosing in Project Name; click the icon of a paper next to the Project Directory box to pick where to save that project (do not make it the same folder as the game executable is in, the program will warn you about it if you do); and finally click on the icon of a paper next to Game Executable box to locate your eldenring.exe. then press create. you will only have to do this once, and the program will remember and automatically open whatever project you had open last.

now, immediately below the task bar are four tabs: Map Editor, Model Editor, Param Editor, and Text Editor. go to the Param Editor tab, and in the list that appears on the left, go to FaceParam. you now get a long list of numbers in the middle, and these are the faces and characters. if you're using the regular version of the program, you'll see names of the games NPCs if you scroll down to the 23000 range of entries.

click on any entry, and in the right window you will see the parameters. for the most part these are self-explanatory and the values can be put into the game's character creator as they are, but there are a few tricky bits:

EDIT: first of all, the value for Nose Ridge - Nose Protrusion (faceGeoData60) - is incorrect! the actual value for Nose Protrusion is in faceGeoData53, which you will find after the Alter Body values:

all the other slider values are correct as far as i know.

the information for the character's age, musculature and bone structure are all contained in the fourth entry from the top, Adjust Face Template - Bone Structure (Parts ID) (face_partsId). it basically goes like this:

0 in param editor = in-game bone structure 1 10 in param editor = in-game bone structure 2 20 in param editor = in-game bone structure 3 30 in param editor = in-game bone structure 4 40 in param editor = in-game bone structure 5 50 in param editor = in-game bone structure 6

+100 = muscular +1 = mature +2 = aged

in other words, if the parameter is, say, 152, then that means that the character is muscular, aged, and uses the bone structure 6. if the parameter is 1, that means the character is mature and uses the bone structure 1, and has standard musculature. if the parameter is 0, the character is young with standard musculature and uses the bone structure 1.

(to my knowledge whether the character is type A or B is not stored in the faceparams, you're just going to have to guess)

the character's eyebrows and eyelashes are the number in the param editor plus 1. so if the params say that their eyebrows are 0, that correlates to in-game eyebrows preset 1; if the params say the eyebrows are 5, then the eyebrows in-game are preset 6. same with the eyelashes.

the hair style numbers do not follow any kind of formula, they're just random, so i made myself a cheat sheet - the red number is the number in param editor, the white number is the number in character creator:

tattoos/marks work with the same formula as the eyebrows and eyelashes - param editor number +1 = number in character creator - up to 18 (19 in charactor creator). from 20 onwards the number is the same in both the param editor and character creator, so if the params say the tattoo/mark is 22, then it is 22 in the character creator as well. the Tweak Tattoo/Mark - Flip (decal_mirror) being 0 means the tattoo/mark is mirrored, while 1 means that it is not (to my knowledge).

eyepatches work with teh same formula as eyebrows and eyelashes: param editor number +1 = number in character creator.

here are some guys and gals i've found so far (going through them is very slow because you have to input every slider value manually):

I've recently learned how to scrape websites that require a login. This took a lot of work and seemed to have very little documentation online so I decided to go ahead and write my own tutorial on how to do it.

We're using HTTrack as I think that Cyotek does basically the same thing but it's just more complicated. Plus, I'm more familiar with HTTrack and I like the way it works.

So first thing you'll do is give your project a name. This name is what the file that stores your scrape information will be called. If you need to come back to this later, you'll find that file.

Also, be sure to pick a good file-location for your scrape. It's a pain to have to restart a scrape (even if it's not from scratch) because you ran out of room on a drive. I have a secondary drive, so I'll put my scrape data there.

Next you'll put in your WEBSITE NAME and you'll hit "SET OPTIONS..."

This is where things get a little bit complicated. So when the window pops up you'll hit 'browser ID' in the tabs menu up top. You'll see this screen.

What you're doing here is giving the program the cookies that you're using to log in. You'll need two things. You'll need your cookie and the ID of your browser. To do this you'll need to go to the website you plan to scrape and log in.

Once you're logged in press F12. You'll see a page pop up at the bottom of your screen on Firefox. I believe that for chrome it's on the side. I'll be using Firefox for this demonstration but everything is located in basically the same place so if you don't have Firefox don't worry.

So you'll need to click on some link within the website. You should see the area below be populated by items. Click on one and then click 'header' and then scroll down until  you see cookies and browser id. Just copy those and put those into the corresponding text boxes in HTTrack! Be sure to add "Cookies: " before you paste your cookie text. Also make sure you have ONE space between the colon and the cookie.

Next we're going to make two stops and make sure that we hit a few more smaller options before we add the rule set. First, we'll make a stop at LINKS and click GET NON-HTML LINKS and next we'll go and find the page where we turn on "TOLERANT REQUESTS", turn on "ACCEPT COOKIES"  and select "DO NOT FOLLOW ROBOTS.TXT"

This will make sure that you're not overloading the servers, that you're getting everything from the scrape and NOT just pages, and that you're not following the websites indexing bot rules for Googlebots. Basically you want to get the pages that the website tells Google not to index!

Okay, last section. This part is a little difficult so be sure to read carefully!

So when I first started trying to do this, I kept having an issue where I kept getting logged out. I worked for hours until I realized that it's because the scraper was clicking "log out' to scrape the information and logging itself out! I tried to exclude the link by simply adding it to an exclude list but then I realized that wasn't enough.

So instead, I decided to only download certain files.  So I'm going to show you how to do that. First I want to show you the two buttons over to the side. These will help you add rules. However, once you get good at this you'll be able to write your own by hand or copy and past a rule set that you like from a text file. That's what I did!

Here is my pre-written rule set. Basically this just tells the downloader that I want ALL images, I want any item that includes the following keyword, and the -* means that I want NOTHING ELSE. The 'attach' means that I'll get all .zip files and images that are attached since the website that I'm scraping has attachments with the word 'attach' in the URL.

It would probably be a good time to look at your website and find out what key words are important if you haven't already. You can base your rule set off of mine if you want!

WARNING: It is VERY important that you add -* at the END of the list or else it will basically ignore ALL of your rules. And anything added AFTER it will ALSO be ignored.

Good to go!

And you're scraping! I was using INSIMADULT as my test.

There are a few notes to keep in mind: This may take up to several days. You'll want to leave your computer on. Also, if you need to restart a scrape from a saved file, it still has to re-verify ALL of those links that it already downloaded. It's faster that starting from scratch but it still takes a while. It's better to just let it do it's thing all in one go.

Also, if you need to cancel a scrape but want all the data that is in the process of being added already then ONLY press cancel ONCE. If you press it twice it keeps all the temp files. Like I said, it's better to let it do its thing but if you need to stop it, only press cancel once. That way it can finish up the URLs already scanned before it closes.

Chicken Feed Chapter 1

Enemies to lovers/fake marriage (Spy!)Bradley Bradshaw x (Spy!) Reader

Summary: Bradley is on a mission with you, a russian spy, to collect information on the Chinese government. His identity is changed to Miles Teller, yours Jane Teller. Just an all-American newlywed couple on a honeymoon to China.

⚠️- violence, gore, death, smut, smut-ual situations throughout. Government inaccuracies

Next Chapter. Masterlist

The offices were blank windowless underground. The overhead building was an abandoned school house. Bradley went through a tunnel entrance in an old phone booth clicking buttons in a sequence being lowered to the tunnel.

He strided down the long reinforced concrete hall. He stepped into one of the many offices. "Bradshaw." He stood straighter in the presence of the commander.

"Yes, sir." His body tense preparing for his new mission.

"You have been selected for a very important mission. The Chinese government has information. They are planning a crash of all economies. Their downfall with Russia has become a pissing contest between the two."

Rooster nodded. It had become quite the dick size contest.

The commander continued. "Russia is the least of our worries at the moment. Putin has decided to join our side, for now at least, to put China back in their place."

Bradley's eyes lifted from their place on the floor up to the commanders eyes. "They must have come to desperate measures."

"They dont like to admit our power, We have worked on an operation plan. One agent from both sides will be put in the field to find out what exactly their plan is. You were our pick for your experience."

"Thank you, sir." He bowed slightly, acknowledging the huge honor and trust this bestowed. "Is there anything we know?"

"No, Bradshaw, I'm afraid that's all I have besides your location. It's a diner hall in Beijing. There is a party with high target government agents at the party. You will be taking on a new moniker to hide your identity from the Russian agent. We must rush you in now to change your identity. Your ID and social will be printed after. Go down to the chief of disguise. She will be the one to handle your case. Do not trust the Russians with any information. You feed this woman Chicken Feed, nothing else, and do not kill her, Mr. President doesn't want to piss off Russia this close to a war. That is an order."

"Yes, sir." Bradley stepped out after being dismissed walking to the disguise department.

You walked down a lighted hallway. The sun was no longer visible through the windows. In the night sky, the only light was provided by a sliver of the moon.

You walk through the threshold of the commanders office. "Commander, Sir."

"We have a mission for you." He leaned back in his chair. "There is a problem with China. Those double crossing dicks are trying to mess with our country."

"They must be dumb to fuck with Russia." Your form motionless in the standing position, your face still.

"Idiots. Putin decided it might be time to join forces with the stupid Americans. They are the real dumbasses, but China does have a thing against them, so it seems like a good way to put them back down. Spank them with the bitches of the world, yeah?"

"Yes, sir. Putin has the right idea." You smirked at the attitude President Putin always had towards putting people down.

"You will be given a new identity. You are going to be the Americans wife. You're a newly wed couple that is on your honeymoon until you are at the location. He has the location information. You have the identification of the man you will be stalking down. His name is Kim Jang Kai. You need information on the where, when, and how of the economic attack from China. Don't trust that American and keep the American alive. We don't want to start a war with America. They are not our friend, but it's better not to make another enemy this close to a war since we have decided to work together. Plus it will be more fun to hold up America like a child and say we kicked your ass with the bitch country." He chuckled lowly.

You were dismissed to the department of disguise. You sat in a chair and the disguise operator began her work.

She sized your head for a long black long straight wig to stick out less in a sea of china. She cut bangs and placed a pair of glasses over your eyes. You looked like an everyday American woman who blended in with Chinese cultural norms.

"Your name is Jane Teller. You are the new wife to Miles Teller. Your credentials are in this bag. Here it is and your luggage." She handed you a brandless canvas black purse and black worn luggage.

"Your gear is in the luggage. This is your manual for the items. Read over it on the way to the airport, and destroy it in the car before you get there. Miles will be waiting for you at gate 34 in Colorado with a sign that says welcome home, Mrs. Teller. He will escort you to a car, and you both will receive further instructions there."

"Yes, ma'am." You got up grabbing your items quickly, walking out to the car. You sat back, opening the manual.

Miles sat back in his seat on the way to an airport in Denver, Colorado. His hair was a jet black color cut shorter, his mustache was shaven, and he had a pair of chunky glasses on his face.

He was reading over manuals, then he was given the five minute warning. He read the last bit of information and then folded it into the small incinerator. The officer in the back burned the contents.

He got out of the old beat up car and walked into the airport carrying his sign. A smile plastered all over his face. He blended well in a group of Johns.

The civilians all stood around, waiting for their loved ones, completely unaware of their surrounding danger. Miles' peripheral vision filed through the personnel. He saw a man who looked suspiciously at the crowd. A damn agent, fucking great.

The flight started releasing passengers. He just prayed you were a good actress and could catch on. He couldn't use any of the normal codes for emergency situations with your lack of American knowledge.

You stood scanning the crowd. You spotted his sign for Mrs. Teller. It's go time. "Honey, love!" You called in an American accent just like briefing called for in the manual.

Miles head jerked towards you, not missing a smile. He wrapped his arms around you, dipping you and kissing your lips softly.

You kissed back, a smile plastered on your face now. You both collected the sign, and he led you to an older car with your hand in his. You both sat in the back. Miles is holding the door open for you, then getting in himself. The people up front disclosed that it was a safe location. The windows tinted black. The smell of weed surrounding the air around the car gave off a different thought to the couple that just entered the vehicle. The car starts moving.

You instantly grabbed the switch blade hidden in your jeans on your hip. Quickly, you hopped into this Miles' lap. You hold the knife pushing it over his jugular. Russian accent falling naturally on your tongue. "If you ever pull some shit like that again, I will drain your blood like the American pig you are. You will be in my Russian slaughter house prepped to be served to Vladimir Putin's lunch. You Do Not Ever kiss me. Do you understand me?" Your words not puncturing his thick skin.

Miles took out his gun and pointed it to your head. Very nonchalant in his facial structure. "I suggest you get off of me in front of our company, honey. Wouldn't want to spoil our honeymoon." He teased, knowing he only did what he had to.

"You think this is funny..." You pressed your knife into the skin on his collar bone, leaving just a small incision trickling blood. Your teeth gritting on your smooth words. Your nerves are being pressed by this American man.

"There was an intell in there. He spotted me and looked straight at me. I had to sell it." He said calmly. "I mean, it seems like you liked it with you climbing in my lap as soon as we get in the car." He spoke as if he were spitting facts. Chuckling at his words.

Your eyes squinted. "You warn me next time." You sat back down in your seat watching out the darkened window.

"I will need a code." He said eyeing the weapon he had pulled on you. He knew you wouldn't kill him. He wasn't intimidated in the slightest. He sat relaxed inspecting his gun for flaws. He wouldn't turn his back but also knew you wouldn't be dumb enough to kill him on American grounds in front of two other agents. He only pulled his gun to send a message.

You read the message loud and clear. This would be no easy mission. "Button. We will call each other button if something is off or if something is going wrong." You cringed as the thoughts ran through your mind of having to be involved with the likes of him. "Disgusting." You muttered from your lips barely audible to anyone in the car.

"Agents if you two are done bickering, I have a briefing you both need to attend to."

"Taking orders from Americans." You muttered but turned your attention to the agent in front of you.

"You both will be in the Hilton hotel for two days. You will act like a newly wed couple waiting for the bellman to get to your room on Thursday he will say, 'Shall we go?' You both will put your luggage on the cart. You will follow him to a gray sedan. Then they will take you to the airport in Colorado Springs. You will board flight 232 and land an hour from the location."

Taglist:

Hi there. First, I love your blog and have been finding it very helpful lately. Second, I just wanted some insight on what I'm currently going through. A traumatic event happened to me recently and I'm still dealing with the aftermath, it feels like it's made all my symptoms get worse and caused some old ones to resurface again, and I'm scared of things getting worse. The most convenient counseling available to me (in terms of the location and price) doesn't deal with more severe mental health conditions. They told me not to go back to them because they could only handle things like mild circumstantial depression and stress. So now I am trying to get back into long term therapy with a professional who'd be more equipped to handle cases like mine, but in the meantime, what coping mechanisms do you suggest just to keep me afloat for a while until I can access a professional again?

I don't want to get too detailed and unintentionally trigger anyone, but basically my intrusive thoughts have gotten especially bad (in all senses - frequency, intensity, how graphic/detailed they get), my "unhealthy beliefs" are becoming more obvious to the people around me and it's been interfering with my daily functioning, some other stuff has been going on that's hard to put into words tbh and overall it feels like my brain never gets a break from itself since it's so damn "loud" and it feels like the thoughts won't shut off. Sorry since I realize this is kind of a heavy topic, please don't feel pressured but if you have any resources or just advice from your own experience about how to cope with this for a while, I'd appreciate it a lot, please. I'm currently not a danger to myself or others because I do have family with me and they watch after me (check in on me, monitor my meds, etc.) but there is still that "divide" between me and them where they don't fully grasp what I'm going through and it just feels like hell inside of my own brain. Thank you.

first off im really sorry you went through something traumatic recently. you didnt deserve that or the after effects you got from it. i went through something traumatic earlier this year and it also made my symptoms worse, so youre not alone in that.

heres one resrouce, you can click on "what should i do if i experienced a traumatic event?"

as for dealing with intrusive thoughts, one thing i do is right after they happen i think to myself "obviously thats not what im thinking" or "clearly thats not my real conscious thoughts" as a way to dismess them as just intrusive thoughts and not anything to do with how i really feel. to discredit them and not give them any deeper meaning.

id also encourage you to talk more to your family and friends, to really open up and tell them the truth and how youre feeling and what youre thinking. most people want to know whats really going on with their loved ones. plus you never know what kind of advice and support they could offer until you open up. and maybe if talking isnt an easy way to show your emotions maybe do it through drawings or poetry, or even showing them a song or movie you relate to right now.

i wish you luck on getting the professional help you deserve. and if its possible, dont settle for someone you dont feel comfortable talking to or someone that isnt equipted to handle your problems. you wont offend a therapist/counselor/psychiatrist by changing to a different one, its their job to help you and if they cant its totatally normal and appropraite to switch to someone else, they dont take it personally.

Changes to MITA Withdrawals; Important Information To Know.

Dear MITA Community,

We're reaching out to keep you informed about some recent adjustments regarding crypto withdrawals on the MITA app. Your safety and seamless experience are our utmost priorities, so please take a moment to review this information carefully to ensure a smooth withdrawal process.

Previously, MITA facilitated crypto withdrawals using both the Klaytn Network and Binance Smart Chain (BSC). We used to automatically convert MITA tokens from Klaytn to BEP-20 tokens on the BSC network for trading on Pancakeswap.

However, as we strive to streamline operations on MITA, we've made a decision to implement a change. MITA will no longer handle token conversion on your behalf. If you wish to proceed with crypto withdrawals, you'll now need to perform the conversion yourself. Alternatively, we offer other withdrawal options such as "Direct Bank or Momo withdrawals."

Here's what you need to do:

Access Your MITA Tokens: If you've transferred tokens to a Trust Wallet BEP-20 address, you may not see them there anymore because we no longer automatically convert them. Rest assured, your tokens are safe, and we'll guide you to locate them.

Add MITA Klaytn Token: Open your Trust Wallet and use the token search feature to look for "Klay." Add it to your wallet.

Custom Smart Contract: Click the plus ➕ button and paste this address into the smart contract section: "0x341523ad0bA079d50CeC513751316178D587cf26."

If you're unsure about these steps, we've prepared a detailed guide with visuals to assist you. Please follow this link: How to Add MITA Token to Trust Wallet Klaytn and BEP20

Once you've completed these steps, you should be able to see your tokens. However, converting them back to BEP-20 MITA tokens poses some limitations. But don't worry; we're here to guide you through the process.

Adding Klaytn Network And MITA Token On Metamask:

Get MetaMask: Download either the MetaMask wallet or the MetaMask Chrome extension (Chrome extension is recommended).

Configure Your Wallet: If you don’t already have a wallet, create a new wallet and add the KLAY network to it with the following details:

Network Name: Klaytn Mainnet Network URL: https://public-node-api.klaytnapi.com/v1/cypress Chain ID: 8217 Currency Symbol: KLAY Block Explorer URL: https://scope.klaytn.com

For further instructions, please follow this link: Steps to Add Klaytn ( KLAY ) to MetaMask — MITA — Medium

We understand that these changes may seem complex, but we're here to support you every step of the way. Your MITA tokens are secure, and you can continue to enjoy the features of the MITA app.

Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the MITA community. Should you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] or on our Telegram group t.me/JoinMitaChat.

Warm regards, MITA Community Support Team
