Splinterlands blew up hive today! This is what I like seeing and the projects I support. This crazy influencer marketing pitching for 100k has proved worthless so far IMO. Let me just say I hope I don't see another one of those proposals pass.
I'd love to instead see proposals for...
By creating useful and powerful applications like this they naturally bring in investors and people. Your existing userbase promotes it. I legit just hate seeing so much get wasted let's be better!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's so cool. Splinterlands is bringing so much value to the Hive Ecosystem!
We need a referral rewards system in these apps that would automatically incentivize existing users to invite their friends and family.
I am sure many users will promote these awesome apps and earn a full-time income doing it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
There is a built in reward system. If you are hodling Hive, the growth is a payoff to you.
The same is true for Leofinance or any other application.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's true. But I think people should be incentivised to bring in more people and be there to mentor them for months. Learning curve is huge although it gets a lot easier once you understand everything.
Just imagine if a big influencers promotes his referral link and make a video about it. We do not need to reach them and pay them for marketing. They can get rewarded using the referral system in place.

There are other dApps or services on Hive which deserve love, too. Hive List and xCx Music are examples I encountered recently while working on anothe project. Hive List is a good idea as an e-commerce platform, but it needs more buzz and love. xCx Music seemd to be doing better, but word needs to get out.
If Hive is the gateway to Web 3.0, we need as many replacements for Big Tech apps as possible and we should market the hell out of them in our own ways.

What's the token or site like for xCx Music first time hearing of that one thanks

The promotion of Hive was stupid from the beginning. Why are you trying to promote a backend which is what Hive blockchain truly is. Yes there is blogging but that is of little interest to most internet users.
It was always going to be the layer 2 that was going to get the attention, not the promotion of Hive.
A total waste of money as you said.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's true... Hive as a backend might be appealing to developers, but for the general public, it doesn't mean much. It's the applications built on it that are going to bring them over
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Correct. For developers it could be a great marketing piece but for the average person, he or she could care less.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thank you. That is exactly what I was thinking when I read That!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thats true. We've seen how Leo made it happen and is still getting more people to hive everyday through different project and also the ones thats coming in the future.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Leofinance, Splinterlands, and a host of others can really draw some attention. We just need to see things promoted.

Was this the reason why the chain was so slow in the morning? I got tired of seeing the errors and stuff for things to get working.

Yep, I always question how much Hive can really scale because whenever something blows up we seem to have the same error issues at other block chains.
I'm still experiencing it being slower than usual with errors popping up now only once and a while.

Really interesting dynamic has formed between banks and Apple.
For context, Australia has 4 big banks that after surviving the GFC, now pretty much own every smaller bank in the market.
Commonwealth Bank is the biggest of the 4.
Just find it a little ironic that they're talking about keeping a market competitive.
But this quote still shocked me and made me lol at the same time:
'ugeeee!
Neither the banks or Apple want whats best for society.
They have an obligation to their shareholders and that's it.

@splinterlands has been an absolute blessing to the entire HIVE Blockchain! No one can deny that fact.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The demand for game is so high servers are barely keeping up. I had to write a rant on how well Splinterlands is doing. I din't think Hive Dapps are even ready for real success. When people discover value of Hive - there's going to be million coming aboard.
that is a huge move. what is the reason for this huge jump if I may ask?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hype! Splinterlands ranks #1 in so many metrics for blockchain games. This is the biggest expansion from the game yet. There's staking rewards & tons of other stuff at work. Traders see potential. You can read my post https://leofinance.io/@d-zero/it-s-only-day-1-of-dao-airdrop-and-splinterlands-is-worth-2x-hive-i-m-making-almost-usd200-day
When Yahtzee! and UNO come to Hive (or some other blockchain), I'll start playing blockchain games.
Having said that, Splinterlands can take the NFT craze to a higher level, or NFTs can bring Splinterlands to a higer level. Either way, it's looking good for both Splinterlands and NFTs.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Do we think the SPS hype is going to last for a while or fizzle out? What is your estimate? Weeks? Days? Months?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I can't really say because I don't know the first thing about Splinterlands... but blockchain gaming is really hyped right now and I hear that Splinterlands is actually a nice game so maybe it can last for a while
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is a pretty cool game. I has kept my interest for 3+ years which is saying something I think!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Definitely! I believe a lot of games don't make it past the first year or so, so that says something indeed
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
@splinterlands has a pretty good track record so far. I know that @jongolsen is bullish on the investment aspect of the game, and he is a pretty smart guy. He talked about it for some time on yesterdays Crypto Maniacs Podcast.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Very cool!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well I think it might take weeks or months to fizzle out. Right now the DEC you earn per match is kind of high.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The airdrop itself is set to last close to a year I think. I am not sure it will sustain that long though.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Anyone get their SPS drop?
Where is it dropped? Does it go to one's Splinterland account or on Hive-Engine?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I did, I claimed mine by logging into the game and clicking on the SPS icon in the top menu just right of the DEC count. This opens a new popup which will show you how much you earned. You can then claim it.
Holding off myself on pushing it to stake till Aug 1st since it wont earn in staking till Aug. 2nd
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh I didn't realize that. I staked yesterday's airdrop.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No worries it's going to be here soon enough :)
Q3 will also introduce earning some SPS for playing daily battles, brawls and more it's pretty involved but the biggest earns are Airdrop and Staking so you'll do well. White paper on that is here > https://sps.splinterlands.com/rewards looks like monthly amounts as well.
I got mine. I bought some DEC and SPT about a month ago. With the run up in price I pulled out my initial investment but am still left with a nice stake, of both.
Now I just have to take the time to read the "How to Play" guide so I can figure out how to pay the damn game.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That will be a great idea. Am also presently in the learning phase after fighting few battles
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You claim in on your Splinterlands account.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Not me, didn't get involved before... might do it now thou
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I just did it. And, of course, I played the damn game!!! Unbelievable. I raced through the daily quest by going 5 for 5 without having much clue what I was doing but...I better not get hooked!!! Or I'm blaming you!! lol
I did manage to get 7.533 of the SPS tokens dropped to me. Do I have to claim them daily or will they just stack up and I can claim them whenever? Anybody know?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Do you use another Hive account to play #Splinterlands? 🤔 I could not see your cards at https://peakmonsters.com/@dagger212/collection. 🕵️♂️😅
All I have are the ones they gave me at the beginning so....don't know what to tell you. I'm a complete newbie as far as anything dealing with that game goes. I lost my first two "practice" battles because I couldn't figure out how to start. lol
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Many things are difficult when you do them the first time. 😂
Do you mean those that they let you use (not necessarily transfer ownership to you)? 🤔😀
I will say I was lucky/smart enough to buy about 33000 DEC a month ago for a total of 133 HIVE and I just checked and could sell it today for 655 HIVE. So about a 5x over the last month not factoring in the price of HIVE. Plus I'm now getting the airdrop so...I managed to hop on the train before it got moving too fast. Would have been even smarter to buy some of those packs but...oh well. Live and learn.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You got 7+ SPS tokens, but I got only 4+ of them, even after I played more than 8 months and collected hundreds of cards. 🤯
How much DEC do you have? I got most of my SPS for having 33k DEC and 33k SPT. In fact, I got ALL of my SPS for owning those since I don't have any extra cards or NFTs or land or whatever....
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't stack DEC right now, since I trade them for HIVE right away since its value is way above its pegged price of $0.001 per 1 DEC. 😅
It goes to one's #Splinterlands account, though they have to be manually claimed first in-game. 😀
Maybe this has the potential for us to recommend for newbie investors to follow? I don't know for sure, but I'll try to keep watching it to see.

You're absolutely right, go there and create an account I'll give you all the support. If you want I can send you some cards to help you in the beginning.
I thought so too and at the time I joined after the Alpha cards and today they are worth hundreds of dollars. But the Legion of Chaos is coming.

I was wondering when it makes sense for someone to set voting power to a small percentage (say, 5%).
One situation would be when someone has a large amount of Hive Power (or Leo Power here) and needs to scale down voting power to make sure the upvote is still a good amount. The veterans here know what I'm talking about.
Another situation would be if voting power is close to being depleted. That would be more common for someone in my situation where my HP/LP is in 3 digits.
I'm asking because I've been seeing a large number of upvotes set at 5% yet the HP over the voters is barely at dust threshold or beneath it. Most of these upvotes come from new Hivers, but some come from Steemian-era Hivers who haven't been active on the blog side in a long time.
Once day I want to adjust my voting percentage to a small number because my HP is large; I'm not there yet, so I still keep at at 100%.
There could be some curation trails I picked up in recent weeks, in which case people may not even know about their voting power percentages.
What other situations make it understandable to set voting power to 5%?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Good point. It's like you get 200 votes and have like 0.43 as payout. It's kind of like as good as no vote.
i think i have a similar goal with my pob stake since it is growing a lot faster than I expect and hopefully on leo. since I get my pob stake to the point I want I follow most of my resources on leo.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Stay consistent with your posting at LeoFinance and PoB, and your overall earnings will increase and you can stake more.
My Layer 1 earnings are good enough for a day on the town, but may Layer 2 earnings (mostly LEO and POB) are 5 times my Layer 1 earnings. Now it feels strange when I post or comment using Ecency/PeakD/Hive.Blog.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You might want to split up your comments into several smaller comments! 😏
Specifically, set your main comment as the top-level comment, then break down your paragraphs into separate comments below the top one. 🤓 That way, you would promote more engagement because users here on #LeoMarketTalk would find it easy to read your statements and choose which ones to reply to. 😅
For comments that turn out to be epic I already turn those into their own posts.
Different topics get their own comments.
If everything in the comment is intertwined, the comment has to stay whole. No one likes to read 20-line paragraphs (especially on mobile), so I break up paragraphs into smaller pieces.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
For example, perhaps you want to separate the "I'm asking because..." as a comment under your top-level comment. 🤔🤓
Regarding your recommended voting power percentage, I have a unique way of voting. 😅 For my favorite authors, I often vote at 100%; for posts or comments that are not bad, I normally vote at 1% (now at 5% so that @dustsweeper will pick up my dust votes and sweep them for me and let the recipient of my vote get at least $0.013 total author rewards), usually to indicate that I have read the comment and I find it okay or better. 😀
Since I said that it is better to split a comment into multiple ones, I have separated my replies to your (top-level) comment into two (or probably more). 😅
Very good question. Never really thought about it as I just vote the way I want to vote. 🐬
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
In your case, you know what you're doing. You're controlling not only what to reward the author but also the curation reward you earn for your upvote.
Many people, mostly new Hivers but not necessarily, are just going on autopilot and in the process cheating themselves of earnings. It's leaving money on the table, and in the case of new Hivers trying to get themselves established it's taking longer than necessary to pass the dust threshold.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

That's not an issue as far as it goes, but the bug could cause a cascade which would indirectly affect the privacy functionality of Monero. That, or something could piggyback off that bug to wreak havoc.

Perhaps using #HivePay (https://hivepay.io) to sell (unneeded) game NFTs - like #RisingStar
and #Splinterlands (not right now)- is a good idea, because you can set the prices of your NFTs pegged to the U.S. dollar, and the buyer can choose HIVE, HBD, or any Hive Engine tokens you allow as payments, whose amount is set depending on how much they are in terms of USD. 🤔HivePay is a neat plugin that can work with any website.
I am glad you are posting some about it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
My biggest problem using #HivePay is about choosing what to sell! 😅
That would still mean you have to manually transfer the NFTs to the buyers.
I am not familiar with Hive Pay. I heard something about them but since I am not looking to buy or sell anything, I have never had reason to see what they offer.
Will have to check out @hivepay-io at some point.

Question.
Do you play any good blockchain game?
Is there any good game on HIVE or any other blockchain that does not have much learning curve?
The very simple ones in my opinion are Rabona and Rising Star.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Rabona is another one people seem to really like. Same with Cryptobrewmaster.
Both are easy to get started.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think Rising Star is a good place to start. Its free and there are quite a bit of free giveaways going on each day. Its basically clicking every once in a while when you have energy.
Splinterlands is a good game but I think the learning curve might be a bit hard to get use to. You might lose a bunch of fights and you need to buy a spellbook to get started.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I agree - Rising Star is the easier bet.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Rising Star is pretty straightforward.

I am glad I live near a nuke plant.

That's a good thing right? I mean global warming means heat so a cold world has to be a good thing.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Not really. Humanity does better with heat, it doesnt fare so well with cold. People do not realize the implications of this cooling that could be on its way. If it rivals the Maunder Minimum from a few hundred years ago, things will be bad.
Energy and food will be a problem.

Are you sure that nuke plant isn't on top of a burial ground?
Within the last few years sunspot activity has been minimal, more so than at other such periods. Usually things get active on Earth at those times.
Regarding climate, historically civilizations tend to flourish during warmer climates. When the temperatures drop, it gets more difficult for people reliant on that warmer climate. During the 8 centuries of the Roman Republic then Empire, Rome was on thhe upswing when it was warmer and on the decline when it was cooler. It may have been the same with Ancient Egypt, but I don't know enough to say either way.
As much impact as humanity has on the climate, forces far greater than humanity influence climate in ways we can't even begin to imagine.

I wonder how much profit they'll generate from stealing data that way and how they'll go about it? Ads are going to take a totally new dimension.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Speaking of stealing data, don't forget about those companies which analyze people's DNA to determine their ancestry. Who owns that data? Web 3.0 needs to solve that problem.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am a white boy raised by Puerto Ricans and White folks. I know my ancestry (Norwegian, Irish and a little Anglo-Saxon, German with a smattering of Dutch) but what does it matter?
My 2d cousin was the President of the USA (John Adams) and I have a pretty impressive pedigree. Does not really matter. I am still white trailer park trash and don't care who knows it! 🤣
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
But can you monetize the DNA data for your own purposes? Web 2.0 won't allow for that.
Then there are other data contained in your DNA such as recessive genes and any mutations which took place along the way to your creation as a human being.
Finding out details about your ancestry in the way those companies advertise sounds cool, but at what cost? What do you have to give up to get that data? What do those companies get from that data apart from what they advertise? What else can they do with that data without your knowledge and without your permission?
It reminds me of that episode from Star Trek: The Next Generation where Worf finds himself face to face with the spiritual leader of his people in the flesh. He had promised a return to the Klingons just as we have The Second Coming here. It turns out that the spiritual leader Worf met was cloned from genetic material left behind by the original. Technically, the promise to return had been kept-- but knowledge of how that was done would be distasteful to the population.
What would these "DNA companies" do with the DNA we gleefully submit, and what would it cost us apart from local currency?

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Short answer? Yes. A former Colonel of Marines who is now a rancher. Another Officer of Marines, a retired Lieutenant General who later became the CEO of Colt Firearms, and loads of my fellow enlisted folks who I loved like an older brother loves his younger brothers.
I may make a post about all of these phenomenal people that so left an imprint on my life. Currently they work in so many different fields of endeavor. Not surprising. We often said in the Corps, Adapt and overcome. Difficult, but these folks I mentioned above, for the most part, have done just that!
From the rank of Private to a Staff Sergeant of Marines, I am no more than those that have influenced me. Just as all of you gals and guys influence me now!

Shopify allows merchants to sell NFTs directly through their storefronts. I believe people would be better off learning how to do stuff directly on the blockchain, but this could be a gateway.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well...I don't really like Shopify and I also prefer a transparent block chain.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is cool. If Shopify can provide multiple blockchain options, it will be a game-changer for them. They do provide a better user experience and lots of flexibility to set up a quick online store and operate it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea that's the key point. Blockchain still lacks a good user experience so many services capitalize on that
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I also see it as a kind of bridge for new people to start learning about NFTs, but certainly as we know, the best way would be on the blockchain.

@forexbrokr
Dane:
I was thinking (I know, scary thing). And I figured I better throw this your way before I forget (I'm getting older, you know).
Anyway, with all the talk about CBDC's, would it not be wise for the guide to publish something on stablecoins - at least on the two bigger ones (Tether and USDC)? Plus there is always the more interesting one - Ampleforth.
Just my two cents by way of suggestion for maybe the near future. I already started working on LINK Pros and Cons.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The only reason I've avoided them, is because I thought they'd be lame.
But your pitch with CBDCs in the news makes sense so I guess that's next.
I was also thinking we can add some more layers to our guides now that we have some content.
For example all of our individual coin guides are layer 3.
But we could also add a layer for what type of coin they are.
Something like this:
There is literally endless content potential for the @crypto-guides account.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'm now fixated with thinking about an interesting, non-boring (and non-lame) way to approach stablecoins.
The meat is in the first subsection and the specifics are short - maybe two or three paragraphs about the specific coin.
Just throwing it out there. Think about it- its your decision.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is all good stuff.
I've saved this one in my notes and It'll help figure out the structure when the time comes :)

I'm glad it wil be of some help. I thought I was just being a pain in your ass. (LOL)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I see your point. That could also get us into another big area that's been avoided. - DeFi Platforms. I mean we covered Binance and Ethereum (I know, they are Exchanges, but you know what I mean, I hope), but what about the bigger ones like: PANCAKESWAP, SUSHISWAP, QUICKSWAP, POLYCAT, and separately THORSWAP?
Just brining up the possibilities boss.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yep, a few more:
Again, endless content potential.
How we're building out all this content slowly and naturally (in Google's eyes) is perfect.
It's always going to be a long term play and it's going exactly how it should be :)

Just a detail on Ampleforth...
Starting July 2021, Publish0x switched from paying authors in ETH to Ampleforth. The first posting I make on Publish0x (I have no idea when) will get me Ampleforth; I would need to go elsewhere to get my ETH fix.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
For a long time both Eth and Ampleforth were offered by Publish0x. Then they added Farm (now iFarm) and there were three available payments. Not only did they stop Eth rewards they cut the amount of all the remaining rewards in half.
Ampleforth was NOT substituted in place of Ethereum as you state!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I forgot about iFarm. Good catch.
I must have misread these two paragraphs from the notice Publish0x made to its members:
(Emphasis in original post)
For anyone who left ETH in their wallet after the date mentioned, ETH was converted into AMPL. Before that date, there was no problem.
