A Case For Project Blank

A Case For Project Blank.png

Like most of us on the blockchain, we've been eagerly anticipating the release of #ProjectBlank - the microblogging platform that is being developed by the @LeoFinance team.

A lot of us feel, this could be the killer application that we've been waiting for and will help raise massive awareness to the community and blockchain. And while the project has been pushed back with the launch of Cub Finance, we're still waiting with baited breath....For an announcement...Of an announcement ;)

One of the reasons I'm personally bullish about this platform is because I know the power of Twitter and what it means for crypto as a whole but even with my online businesses. Twitter and the micro-blogging concept is powerful for getting people to know, like and trust you...Which again, plays big into my plans for using these platforms.

So I decided to do a little test...To show the world, how impactful #ProjectBlank will be, using some traditional and non-traditional social media sites. I took one post and shared it on 4 of the following platforms...

Facebook
Twitter
Torum
Noise.Cash

The post was announcing the little podcast project that @taskmaster4450 and myself have begun, and thought I would see what kind of results I got from each...As you are about to see, the need for a micro-blogging platform on the blockchain is not only needed...But the no-brainer killer application of the year!!!!

Decent engagement, but the comments were low and with 2500 plus friends, only 11 likes left much to be desired.

Facebook is only good for live streaming these days lol

Very good engagement, retweets and likes.

Twitter is amazing when it comes to crypto based content and of course, the Hive and LEO community on Twitter are second to none!

The 'crypto Facebook' that has a lot of people excited! I have to admit, I haven't been paying as much attention to this site as others, but still not bad....19 likes and 2 'shares'....What was low though, was the comments....With only 1 Torum member commenting!

And here's my point....

This is why something like #ProjectBlank is needed!!! Take a look at Noise.Cash and you will see, the MOST engagement. shares and likes across the 4 platforms I tested...

Why is that?

Noise does reward people for commenting, although it's not a guaranteed reward. But to me, it's their model....They are a true micro-blogging platform where crypto enthusiasts flock to discuss everything from NFT's to DeFi!

This type of platform is popular because you don't need to be a Pultizer Prize winning author to get seen, get engaging and get rewarded.

It's crazy simple too....Post to a community (chamber) and add a picture if you like...There's your post.

It embraces the DNA of Twitter but adds the crypto element to it with BCH rewards.

Now....

Imagine THAT same model, but right here! On the blockchain!

The simplicity of micro-blogging but with the power of Hive and LEO behind it....

I know, I know...We need to be patient, and I am...But the content creator and entrepreneur in me, just sees Project Blank and can't help but say to myself over and over again....

This is going to change how everyone looks at blockchain based social media forever!

Nugget: You may be asking, why didn't you test out Leo or Hive on this little experiment? I'm VERY confident, that this post will BLOW every other post I made about the podcast...Let's see if I'm right ;) Which is the big reason why, ProjectBlank on this blockchain will be the no brainer of no brainers!

One of the best posts of all time.

So for those who don't have time to read:

Khal hurry the hell up!!!!!

Someone had to say it...

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

ha ha ha ha ha Poor guy. Dudes just crushing it with CUB and we're bugging for Project Blank lol

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Did anyone expect us to be satisfied?

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

D.buzz already exists and is doing well. You can buzz directly to Twitter was well. Just saying...

I think Dbuzz is brilliant, and the team is awesome. I just don't want the buzz's showing up on my feed like a regular post. Which is the problem that we all hope Project Blank has fixed.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

We'll have to see the implementation and details but doesn't Hive already have a twitter-like app in d.buzz? I thought d.buzz was a lot better than noise.cash with the inbuilt gif searches and all.

It's very functional, the issue for me is how it displays on my feeds. I don't want 'tweets' let's say, show up on my timeline.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Good point. Yeah I don't like how it ends up on the feed either but I suppose there's no avoiding it unless they get off the Hive chain?

Biggest issues with Facebook and Twitter is they are publicly traded companies. They wont show your content to all of your followers anymore. Instead they make you pay for it now lol

So you do all the work, create all the content, tell people to follow you on these social networks just for them to slap ads all over your content, restrict how many people see your posts and profit off all of it. Talk about one ass backwards system lol It's time to replace the BS people! People need to be in power again and not corporations.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Preach!!!!

That's the kicker...You bust your butt, build a following only to get it slapped by the powers that be.

I'd much rather build here lol

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

If done right project blank won't even be in the same league as noise cash

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

And that's what has me so excited...Because I love Noise LOL

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I am patiently waiting for Project Blank. I just wish for a few sentences of updates from the team. I can't even guess a timeline for it to be released.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I'm guessing it'll be coming as soon as the CUB stuff evens out...Right now they are in hustle mode for sure!

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Nice one @jongolson, personally I love twitter(followed you a few mins ago) and always wishes for a tokenised twitter like application. #ProjectBlank is going to fill that gap. Twitter is an amazing app for clear cut real time communication. Just imagine you get to know about earthquakes on twitter before you even feel it. 😂

#PB will also bring in more users on LEO and HIVE. Which means more activity and inward investments. It's going to be a perfect fit for this platform.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Awesome, thanks so much for the follow :)

Oh yeah, without a doubt, it'll shake the earth!!

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Can't wait to see the announcement's announcement post.

At least to know how will this exactly be !

You showed exactly how bringing people here and it seem that I'm totally right to share only on noise.cash 😅

Noise has been brilliant. Such an awesome experience there so far!

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Do we even know what Project Blank is? Is there any official announcement?

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Do we know what it is?

Yes. It is a twitter-like application but on the blockchain.

Is there any official announcement?

For when it will be released? No there is not.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Yeah it's been official announcements, of announcements so far...But they have mentioned what it would be for sure.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

It's going to be great. I feel noise is slipping a bit but it will be up to use Leo's to make sure blank is a hit. I do feel like timing is key and people aren't as mad at Twitter and Facebook as they were a month ago but something will happen to push them away again and hopefully blank will be ready!

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

They do have a bunch of backing with deep pockets...But it has slowed a bit...Still an exciting program tho!

Another reason is

Saw the Coindesk article about it earlier lol

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Noise cash has a huge following already so this is not much of a surprise but hive will have more comments for sure, Votes are hard cause of auto vote so comments are the important thing here

Oh yeah, Hive and Leo win, 10 times out of 10 :)

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Thanks for doing this test and sharing the results. This is how we all learn together. !BBH

A little bit of marketing mayhem ;)

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I'm pretty sure Khal also wants to have bidirectional posting on Project Blank and Twitter when it launches to have a bang. I may be wrong about the 'wen', be he agreed to try to have that implemented.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Crazy the potential of that thing! Can't wait to play with it!

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Nobody knows that d.buzz is already here?

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Yup, and I think what they are doing is awesome. Just don't want my 'buzz's' showing up on my timeline. Which Blank has apparently solved.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

What can I say that you haven't said before - you're amazing! I totally share your thoughts on Project Blank and it's reality, the possibilities are endless when it comes to microblogging and being able to reward people who enjoy doing this, how many people wouldn't want to monetize their tweets? Especially those tweets that have had over 1000 likes and have reached over 10k people, it's crazy to think about.

I join the team of people who are looking forward to this super DApp that will be the future of our blockchain, let's keep growing!

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

LOL Appreciate that :)

I believe so too...Micro blogging and micro content is what fuels the social world. And when we cater to that market, we will win!

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I understand the hip because of LeoFinance but there is D.Buzz also as "like" Twitter app on the HIVE blockchain working since sometime now. People are talking about Projekt Blank as nothing like that exist already. And this last thing I really, really, do not understand.

How it's presented is the issue. Again, love the team and this the app is great. But it still shows on my time line and would love to have an app that is on the blockchain, but doesnt show on my feed every time I post.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Like with LeoFinace or any other comunity frontend you need to reblog the post for to appear on your HIVE blog. Sadly. And each comunity has its own tag so you need to use it in order to appear on their front end.

How often can you Buzz?

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

How often can you post on HIVE? 😉
Same same.

Then that isnt equivalent to Twitter.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

How often do you think you can post in the bolckchain of HIVE? Make a test. Enought for Twitter equivalence as far as I have seen. Anyway the limitations are on the blockchain not on the frontend. What is the difference with another project in the same blockchain?

Been waiting since it was announced. But I understand as CUB Finance launched. Still eagerly anticipating.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I'm looking forward to ProjectBlank and all it entails, but I feel like my head is spinning already. I am going to have to drop something else in order to utilize this new tool once it gets here.
