Proud to Announce the Acquisition of @swap.app Into the KLYE.net Service Offerings Roster
⚠️NOTE: @swap.app is Currently OFFLINE. Please DO NOT Send any Crypto to the Service Yet
(any crypto sent currently will be considered a donation to the development team towards float)
After what feels like a long while ago (~2 Months) after a fire in France destroyed the datacenter in which the original @swap.app hosted it's service upon, the original creator @cardboard had mentioned that he was looking to retire the @swap.app due to having lost some of it's software and data to fires. Perhaps one of those "right place at the right time" things but knowing that services like @swap.app are absolutely imperative for the quality of life and success of the HIVE network, took this as an opportunity to ask if I could effectively take over the service running's to keep it alive.
As I believe that the @swap.app functionality is absolutely vital to the community in terms of a means of onboarding not only users but capital into our ecosystem I offered to take over the hosting and running operations of the @swap.app service if @cardboard was interested on passing the torch off to me to run day-to-day operations for @swap.app.
After some time of thought he got back to me and expressed that he'd entertain the idea to step down and allow me to run it, over having shut down forever and then took me by surprise by offering to stay on the dev team to help with code and stuff. With his help to get things going again the hope is to have the @swap.app service and it's website back online and operational within a week or so.
So from here on forth officially and as of yesterday when the permissions keys for the @Swap.App account were relinquished to myself and I'm now the developer / operator of the @swap.app service. While a ton of things still need moved around, tested, and relaunched... I have yet to change the keys over to completely secure the account and get the application up and running again, the goal is to while simultaneously working on @Hive.Loans get the @swap.app source code audited and prepped to come back online within the next week or so. @cardboard will be giving me a hand to set things up and to start working on a huge future update planned for the @swap.app Service.
Incoming Changes to @swap.app Service & Operations
This still facilitates those wishing to defect from STEEM to easily dump their STEEM for HIVE, but will prevent the opposite, @swap.app from here on out will not support any activity that serve to increase the market cap of the STEEM network. Other crypto will still be supported wit the exception of anything to do with TR0N, anything Sun Yuchen / Justin Sun related will not be supported.
Liquidity Pool Investing on the Horizon for Future Update
Not only will this allow you to invest your crypto within the service to help it facilitate larger trades, but will also provide another potentially lucrative investment vehicle for the HIVE ecosystem.
The @swap.app is one of those services I always took for granted until it wasn't there anymore.. But now that I've gotten the go ahead to take over and acquired it everyone rest assured I'll do everything within my power to restore the service to working order and get it operational for the community.
When everything is going again I'll get the @swap.app links re-added to PeakD.com wallet page as it was before and business will continue as it did. Give us till the end of week to get it going. Cheers!

No dyslexic words typed in and a beautiful announcement. Are you really @klye?
There has to be a typo or grammar fail somewhere in there.. lol
It was the only way this could be operated honestly.
Darn. I still have something like 5 ST**M to liquidate.
edit knee-jerk reaction. Looks like you'll be leaving that open! Yay! I might even accept my half a TRON from my goodbye post to SteemPeak if I can swap it straight to HIVE at this point.
Maybe I can leave TRON enabled to facilitate this.. But plan is to phase it out
Very cool and I really love the idea of making it easy to swap out steem for hive but not the other way around. claps
Some might view it as a bad decision.. I view it as the only acceptable decision
This is fantastic news! @cardboard was always on-top of things and quick-to-respond, so you have some big shoes to fill. I'm sure you're up for the task, though, and THANK YOU for keeping a fabulous service alive! 😃
Yeah, cardboard is awesome and I'm glad to have them around still helping me with stuff on the swap.app. No worries or need to thank me.. This is something HIVE needs as a whole and when given the chance to keep it alive arose I was all over that.
HIVE!D
Well done and congrats on the new venture ( old new ) and the fact you kept the gem for our beloved platform.
Not a dev but let me know when it’s up and running again. I was a frequent user of swap so I will for sure make a blog an promote it. Good luck on the job
Highly appreciated! I'm terrible at marketing, so the more enthusiastic users that take that responsibility and run with it the better. Thank you for helping and insuring swap.app will continue to be known about.
Is that the same project that has the SWAP.SWIFT token on Hive-Engine?
No I'm pretty sure that asset you speak of is something else.. Like a wrapped "swift" token or something? Not sure.
I used the swap.app once and they sent me a SWAP token or something small like that, not sure I guess it is unaffiliated. Just checking.
Can't wait for you to get this swap app going again, we need more options for sure!
I think @theycallmedan is trying to stomp out @hive.loans right before launch?? Why are they so impatient??
https://peakd.com/powerdown/@theycallmedan/power-down-time#@coininstant/qt5zgy
I think this inst power down would be the death of hive.loans! yikes!!
Nah. This is why we diversify and offer other stuff.
He's not doing it to harm my business. He's simply trying to make us competitive (HIVE) same as I am.. Not a big deal. HL will be more than it's namesake. :)
OK good, I doubt they will get those changes anyway, charging a tax to power up, I would just cut powering up out of my normal routine.
Will there be an investment option? Id be interested in that.
Yessir!
Going to allow for folks to invest in the liquidity of the site to supply capital to facilitate swaps. With 80% - 95% of the fee charged routed to the bankroll / capital supplier.
Or are you talking in buying company equity like HLSHARE for Hive.Loans?
Oh.. Yeah if you want to invest in swap.app you will be able to via supplying bankroll and possibly share in the future if enough of a demand exists.
No for swap.app
I'd at least delegate some HIVE if it will help keep some resource credit buffer in place.
I might even power down for a week if you want some of the resultant liquid HIVE.
<3
Yeah I'll try and get the thing running again here today.
Appreciate the support
Congrats! It'll be great to have @swap.app back up and running!
Not running yet. But soon. :)
Looking forward to the return of @swap.app!
I know this may be premature in addition to asking for you to work for free on some niche interest, but do you plan to add any more coins? I am especially interested in support for ARRR (PirateCoin), and it seems to be just the sort of token you might support anyway.
☠
Will have to look at the wallet. Might consider listing fees to get coins added.
More coins will coome eventually though.. It's on the roadmap

I hope this SWAP project does not delay hive.loans! How are you going to balance the work load between the two projects. Is there a clear roadmap to hive.loans?
Eh, A few hours on it is worth it honestly. Going to roll in the swap stuff into HL.
Sounds swift!
Super glad to hear this will be coming back online - it's something that was a blow to lose. I'm also jazzed to see that you'll be heading the operation. Good on ya buddy!
It would be heresy to just let the service die. I'm glad Cardboard was willing to let me take it over. :)
Is there a way to reach out to you on discord or another way for a project idea if you're interested.
