Tokenizing The Internet With Hive.
PRE HF PARTIAL SUBMISSION
Introduction
What’s better than getting Hive into the mainstream of things? "Nothing" you say. Well, FullALT has some good news for you.
We are creating the tools to help make that a reality all over the internet. Including some of the sites and platforms that many thought are "impossible" to tackle.
Furthermore, let's add to that the marketing potentials for HIVE.
The best marketing for any currency is utilization. If currencies are seen in use, that is the most effective means of ensuring they are known of and accepted, all over the internet (world).
This can only be achieved if there are tools built for real world use cases in existing real world markets. In a user friendly means, which the lack of is often the biggest drawback in the crypto scene.
Our two native currencies HIVE & HBD have the potential to achieve this, if we concentrate our efforts on the diversity of their utilization (use cases), particularly those that tap into the existing markets out there.

All listed on our website:
https://www.fullalt.com/the-team/
Note:
This proposal has been submitted in accordance with the general guidelines presented to the community.
& within the general criteria expected from a transparent, clear cut, definitive business/DHF proposal.
While FullALT has been referred to as a ‘tip bot’ by some, we actually offer a wide-ranging roster of flexible cross-medium interaction services that reach far beyond tips or bots.
2020 - Phase 1 (Completed)
HIVE and HBD can now be utilized as currencies for real world market uses, on the following protocols and platforms:
Email:
Gmail
All other emails
Social Media and Messaging:
Twitter
Youtube
Telegram
Browsers:
Google Chrome
Chromium
FireFox
Our vision is to prove that the internet can be tokenized with HIVE and HBD. We have made gains on this vision not only in theory but in practice, within real world use cases in existing real world markets. i.e. gratuities markets.
2021 - Phase 2
Expansion on the above lists of sites, platforms and relevant services to get Hive available out on the mainstream markets with the goal of helping to ensure both HIVE and HBD can be utilized as currencies in any part of this world in user friendly ways, on any phone or computer.
Building bridges and synergy with other platforms and services, such as Telegram and expanding the overall possibilities for any and all apps and people that wish to easily and effectively utilize HIVE and HBD.
When the full 62 days of DHF funding are completed, the funds from the 2020 portion that were all paid for by @jackmiller (from his personal savings) shall be utilized in the following manner:
- 80% powered up (HP) and utilized within the ecosystem to promote Hive marketing activities by members of the broader community.
- 20% kept in liquid HBD for unforeseen ‘incidentals’ that may arise. I.e. API costs which can scale unpredictably.
Actively partake in the activities and work to help empower the newly emerging Hive Marketing collaborative team-working initiative.
Expand on SEO recognition and other relevant efforts currently worked on.

The Next Hive HF & FullAlt - PART #2 - Resubmitting Proposal in Accordance With The Upcoming HF.
Opportunity to Empower
We are considering a couple strategically-placed press releases that would focus on Hive itself far more so than this project. For this, we will collaborate and coordinate with the individuals who have organized Hive communication to-date; ie. the individuals who manage the @hiveio account and the newly emerging Hive Marketing Team.
We will source these opportunities and obtain them where possible for free.
To give everyone an idea of the market prices for the services that we will be resourcing on our own and in cooperation with the new Hive marketing team which is in the makings, we have done the following research to obtain outlet pricing:
Notes
All timesheets and invoices are reviewed and audited prior to any payment being made. Only the hours invested and actually worked are paid, all at a fixed hourly rate. We believe in paying a fair rate for our developer hours and we do not attempt to milk the rewards pool for this with upvotes.
If you choose to support this proposal, we kindly ask that you inform us, so that we can add you to our DM list for sending out a reminder when the above defined funding goal (amount) is achieved.
This is our obligation to ensure that you are directly informed on time.
As stated the general scope of work and objectives remain unchanged.
Proposal Link on PeakD: # TBD
This is proposal - #160 is a partial re-submission of what was Proposal #128.
As detailed earlier, this is a partial re-submission of the original proposal so as to comply with the following:
The needs and requirements of the upcoming HF. (please refer to the earlier description and links)
&
So as to ensure a 100% trustless approach.
This proposal is for a duration of 36 days at 2000 per day and is exclusively for co-funding of the works and cash invested into the listed projects.
Major Unforeseen Changes
All unforeseen additional options can be submitted as new proposals, if necessary.
I.e. as new sites are added, most of them have a fee for using their API, these costs were originally included in the Incidentals, but are now omitted. Most platforms state very clearly, that they have a unilateral right to determine costs, based on their own criteria, i.e. number of API calls. If these exceed the current proposals planned budget then we have the right to submit those as new proposals. In short, if (once) Hive becomes amazingly popular (which will be awesome!) and our API costs go through the roof, then we'll need your help! Any such situations shall be transparently defined, with proof from the relevant platforms prior to submitting any such Proposal(s).
Explanation of proposal costs
The aim is to be a ‘fee-less’ project wherever possible on the internet. This is in line with the Hive ecosystem which offers Fast & ‘Fee-less’ transactions.
However, as we all know, there is no free lunch. Tokenizing the internet with HIVE via Hive is no easy task and we have the potential to achieve a good chunk of the work for Hive.
This proposal does not cover all the work hours invested. (as detailed earlier)
Our contracted developer/coder for this project has given a discounted FIXED rate of only $45/hrs.
He too sees the real potential this project has to offer everyone on Hive.
Likewise, his integrity to date has been impeccable. To the point that during the course of the works so far, we were faced with an unforeseen issue with one of the platforms. He offered to not charge a single cent for the seven days of work needed to remedy those issues caused by the third party platform.
He shared the responsibility as only a professional and dedicated contributor would.
˙No member of FULLALT is getting funded or compensated for any work invested into HiveTips.
Hours invested by the FullALT team and friends supporting us = $0.
We are looking at Hive as a long term blockchain endeavor which is worth the invested time and effort.

Progress reporting
By milestone:
Note: Weekly timesheets and invoices from the coder shall be given to FULLALT reviewed, processed-paid accordingly & made public via the chain no less than once a month.
Accountability & Auditing
All coding costs, weekly reports, time sheets, and invoices shall be reviewed and audited by @guiltyparties and @jackmiller prior to payments being made.
Sample of submitted timesheets/invoices:
This is an added level of accountability that the funds being invested are handled in a professional and responsible manner.
As stated earlier, all transactions will be transparently executed on Hive.

FullAlt: 2020 Checks & Balances
Posted on the 23rd of December 2020.
@fullalt.dhf
This will be the account that will be utilized for any and all funds from the DHF. It will serve as the account for transparency, easy tracking, auditing and managing those funds. The proposal will be open until the 62 days of funding are fulfilled in its entirety. After which it will be removed.
The project goal is to expand Hive, HIVE & HBD all over the internet.
Literally making the dream of tokenizing the internet with HIVE come to life.
Benefits
“It is the use case scenarios where HiveTips, HivePatron & MyAltWallet are required all over the internet. No, not just in some niche spaces, but all over the internet. Where there are people in the services markets, there is a potential need for rewarding those people with HIVE and other applicable use cases for these tools. Which brings us to the benefits HiveTips, HivePatron & MyAltWallet have to offer to Hive in the segment of outreach. “
Benefits of HiveTips, HivePatron & MyAltWallet:
“These services aim to be a major factor in the expansion and adoption of Hive across the web as all of the above listed will increase exponentially. The current number of people on the internet is over 4.8 billion and that number will only grow and HiveTips is a great vehicle to reach this audience. HiveTips is solely dedicated to giving a well known and utilized use case 'Fast and Fee-less' in which the existing circa 400 million HIVE out there can be put to good use. Unlike many other ventures that came before, these services don’t rely on upvoting or otherwise extracting rewards from the “rewards-pool”. Instead, they champions investment.
It is investors creating investors.
By providing use cases, we will help build a demand for HIVE. “
What happens if the proposal becomes unfunded?
In the event that the project is not funded, we will continue forward with our plans, however we will be limited in the dynamics of where and how our HIVE can be used. To date all costs incurred have been covered by @jackmiler and @guiltyparties (ref: Annex A)
In the event that funding gets cut off, we will re-evaluate what can and cannot be done in accordance with our capabilities and financial resources. The plan is to stick to the goal of promoting our ecosystem and the main economical features of Hive, which is ‘Fast and Fee-less’.
We have no intentions of abandoning this project as we see that it has way too much to offer Hive presently and moving forward. It isn’t all about the money. If it was, we wouldn’t have been ready to risk all our personal savings to prove that a working product and use case of Hive & HIVE can be expanded to a diverse range of platforms on the internet.
As per the earlier listed facts and stats, HiveTips, HivePatron & MyAltWallet will be utilized on not only the listed platforms out there, but on others too, hence being seen sooner or later by well over 30% of internet users, which is HiveTips’ current potential outreach.
“Hive is ALIVE” because so many of us in the community believe in everything Hive can become. HiveTips, HivePatron and MyAltWallet are some of the premiere tools that will help make all of these dreams come to life. If we fail to capitalize on this potential, then it is highly likely that our competitors on other blockchains will seize this opportunity instead of Hive.
Final Statements:
We have successfully integrated HIVE and Hive with the internet giants via a fully operational Beta products that tokenizes the world wide web. This is no small feat, and we feel our accomplishment should not be taken lightly or shrugged off.
"Why did we submit a proposal only after fully knowing that the idea is tangible and functional?"
We believe in this project. We know what the potential benefits are for Hive so to put a proposal in without a provable working product, would be like selling an idea with nothing to prove its tangibility. We have proven that it is possible to present a complete project and product.
This project is taking HIVE directly to the mainstream, where the vast majority of the 4.8 billion people on the internet hang out!
These tools and services are being built for the best interests of Hive. The blockchain scene, and even more so, the cryptocurrency atmosphere, is extremely competitive. We are here to ensure the integrity of this project.
Finally, we would like to ask that you support this proposal with your vote. We all want to see Hive, HIVE and HBD go mainstream. HiveTips can be a major game changer in that process. Your support will be a testament that everyone can be a part of tokenizing the web with HIVE.
Thank you.

We at FullALT would like to take this opportunity to thank all the 400+ voters who supported/voted on the original proposal.
WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT!
As you can see, there have been changes made. Not to the proposal (so to say) but to the chain, or should be say, there are coming changes in the next HF. (Details listed above).
So, we now have had to break our proposal up into two proposals.
This one, which is Pre HF and the other, when the HF is all over and done with.
Again, keeping 100% in line with the original proposal.
We have tagged everyone who voted on the original proposal to make sure you get notified of the fact that we really do appreciate all your support to date and for those of you who may have not yet conveyed that support to this proposal, please take a moment or two to vote on it and lets get things happening.

Thanks again.
Let's Tokenizing The Internet With Hive.
I'll be using HiveTips very often with Twitter.
Voted for the proposal
It cofunds the work on HiveTips, HivePatron and MyAltWallet, covering the coders hrs, severs and domain names.
As per the current Pre-HF proposal (above) you are 100% correct. All line items are paid for prior to them being paid from the DHF.
Note: Financially speaking, with the accountability, the auditing and transparency of all financial dealing to date, along with the fact that payments are only "after the fact" and not "in advance", this proposal is what we could classify as 100% trustless.
Hi @jackmiller and the @fullalt team!
Thanks for taking the time to detail your proposal. I looked through what you have written and taken a closer look at the website and HiveTips Chrome Application. It looks to me like you are busy taking Hive places and I, of course, would like to do my part to help support more of that.
Could you guys fill me in though... I downloaded HiveTips for Chrome and wasn't actually able to make use of it. I got stuck at the Agreement Terms. It wouldn't let me check the box and move on to trying out the app. I would really like to give things a test run before voting for your proposal!
My finger is hovering over the vote button. Can someone help me out?
You need to scroll down to the end of the agreement (that's how we know you've read it) and once you get to the very bottom you will be able to click the checkbox and submit.
Strange @jackmiller & @fullalt... I just tried again with the same exact result. Scrolled right to the bottom and tried to click on the agree check box. No luck! Perhaps if I close my Chrome browser and attempt again? I'll try that next.
Hello mate, please if you find further issues with the T&S agreement I will be glad to help in our Discord channel.
Thanks @lightproject. I'll do just that. Hopefully we can figure this out. 👍
If you are on Chrome/Chromium, we just released a new User Interface.
& it is all working.
Can you please try now, each step has been made as userfirendly as possible, all the way.
Yeah it's Jack here, sorry for not signing my name at the bottom. Will try to get into that habit of things when using this account.
Thank's for taking the time to reply Jack! @jackmiller
I'm actually still having trouble... But I'm going to bounce over to the @fullalt discord and see if I can't get things figured out!
I noticed the Hive Icon in my Twitter Feed... I believe that has to do with the @fullalt service right! (cool by the way!) but when I click on the icon it pulls up the same terms of service bit where I'm stuck. Anyways!
I'll be over to the discord to chat. Hope I get to talk with you a bit there about the project! 🙌
Did you manage to solve?
I have exactly the same problem... and I scroll all the way down in both windows, but the box to accept the terms and conditions is not activated. I thought it was Chrome old version, so I updated, but nothing. When I opened Chrome again, I had the same result.
Ok. I’m not the only one then!
I still have to find a spare moment to go the the @fullalt Discord. Once I get ahold of someone I’ll report back here. (Unless you get there ahead of me, that is!)
I really do want to try the tip on Twitter feature! That would be super cool!
I will read this full article later after my work!!!
I really need to do a better job of keeping up with proposals. Just saw this proposal update and voted in support of it.
Congratulations on getting the funding. As you know, I am a long term supporter of the @fullalt's projects.
This is really great. I remember I had a tipping campaign pre-fork some 3 or so years ago and it went really well. I still have some SBD leftover from it and could possibly give it away after moving it over here. I'm still powering down though. Is this tipper working right now without any hitches. I want to learn more about it.
Why U stop posting?
