Ripple Says Final Guidance’ From UK Regulator Hands XRP Long-Awaited Regulatory Clarity

Ripple Says ‘Final Guidance’ From UK Regulator Hands XRP Long-Awaited Regulatory Clarity

                                

Ripple’s global head of government relations says a “final guidance”

issued by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority is offering long-awaited regulatory clarity for XRP in the country.On July 31st the FCA published its final guidance defining which crypto asset activities it regulates. It lists XRP alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum, which have both been declared by the agency as exchange tokens – not securities.

“The FCA is therefore publishing the Final Guidance as consulted on with some amendments to provide greater clarity on what is and isn’t regulated. This includes making the important distinction as to which cryptoassets fall inside the regulatory perimeter clearer. Consumers should be mindful of the absence of certain regulatory protections when considering purchasing unregulated cryptoassets. Unregulated cryptoassets (e.g. Bitcoin, Ether, XRP etc.) are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme and consumers do not have recourse to the Financial Ombudsman Service.”

Ripple’s Michelle Bond first brought the new document to light on Twitter.

“The FCA now lists XRP in the company of BTC and ETH, both of which were previously classified as exchange and/or utility tokens (and not a security token). This is exactly the kind of regulatory clarity the industry needs.” Ripple is battling a federal court case filed by a number of XRP investors who accuse the company of selling the digital asset as an unregistered security. he investors recently filed an amended complaint against the fintech company, claiming that the development of the XRP ledger and the success of XRP are dependent on Ripple’s efforts. Ripple has until September 19th to file its response.

How To Determine Actual Unique Visitors Via Alexa

How To Determine Actual Unique Visitors Via Alexa

What Is A Unique Visitor?

Unique visitors is a fundamental metric of web analytics that is traditionally used to measure the overall level of traffic to a site. Because it counts the number of unique people that visit a site in a given time, it gives a better sense of a site’s true audience size. That means unique visitors is an excellent tool for market share analysis and benchmarking to evaluate how a site can improve. It also demonstrates merit when securing potential advertisers and investors, as a representation of a site’s impressionable audience size. Finally, it’s a great indicator for determining sales leads. In all, unique visitors is a universal metric that rounds out the total competitive analytics suite.

 

How Is A Unique Visitor Determined?

In order to understand why Alexa ranking is important, you need to know how it is calculated in the first place. Alexa uses two metrics while deciding the ranking of a website – the number of page views and the number of unique visitors – over a period of three months. Page views refer to the number of times your website’s URL is viewed by users. 

Alexa calculates your website’s ranking based on the traffic received from a particular subset of users – those who have Alexa toolbar installed and those who have browser extensions and plug-ins installed. Each time a user visits your website, the toolbar, extension, or plug-in sends the information to the Alexa server, which records the user’s IP and the pages he or she visits. The information collected over a span of three months is then analyzed to determine your website’s ranking.

 

What's The Difference Between Unique Visitors And Visits?

Unique visitors refers to the number of distinct individuals requesting pages from the website during a given period, regardless of how often they visit. Visits refer to the number of times a site is visited, no matter how many visitors make up those visits.

Is Alexa Rank Important?

It is one of the factors that determine your Google page rank. Higher ranked websites are indexed by Google bots regularly, which makes search engine optimization easier. Alexa ranking is considered a relevant and important metric by many webmasters as well as users. It is not uncommon for users to take a look at your Alexa ranking and rating before deciding if your website is safe and trustworthy enough to buy from. 

 It serves as a valuable metric to indicate your website’s popularity. It also serves a comparative tool, as you can compare your website with that of your competitors and see how well you are doing in terms of traffic and popularity as it allows the user to view links to external, relevant websites

It is also one of the factors that advertisers consider to determine the marketing potential of your website. Websites with high Alexa ranking generally tend to be more profitable and attract more advertisers. It also helps to assess your website’s total monetary value.

 

What Is A good Alexa Rank?

With Alexa, the smaller the number, the more popular your website is. Websites that are relatively popular and get a decent amount of traffic regularly have an Alexa ranking of 50,000 to 100,000. If your website’s ranking is higher than 100,000, you need to optimize and market it better to bring it down as much as possible. If your ranking is lower than 50,000, it means your website attracts a large amount of traffic regularly.

 

How To Increase Alexa Rank Quickly?

Alexa Ranking has been in operation for over 2 decades now and is the best-known metric for ranking websites. This is the first thing I look at when I visit a site. Alexa tracks stats for everyone who has the Alexa toolbar installed on their browser. 

 

  • You can download Alexa toolbar from their website. It is one of the baby steps which needs to be taken to increase Alexa page rank. The Alexa toolbar works by sending data to the Alexa server for each website when someone visits. If you’re regularly visiting your blog you’ll instantly see your website go higher up in Alexa rankings

  • Embed the Alexa rank widget on your website and watch how people start clicking on it. Every time a click is registered, your website goes higher and higher in the rankings. The more visitors your website has, increases the number of hits it will get. 

 

How to install Alexa Widget – Copy below HTML code and paste your website. All you need to do is replace markethive.com with your website domain name and put the complete code at the place on your blog where you want to show your Alexa widget.

<center><a href="http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/markethive.com"><script type="text/javascript" src="https://xslt.alexa.com/site_stats/js/s/a?url=markethive.com"></script></a></center>
 

  • Publishing unique and quality content is a crucial part of retaining visitors on your blog. It’s not only important to get new visitors. Giving people a reason to come back and visit your website is what is going to give you a good boost in increasing Alexa rank. Also, share your content on Social Media. Just about everyone is active on the internet through social media. Also, submit to other sites such as Dig, Reddit, Delicious, Stumbleupon, and Tumbler, etc. 

  • Build more Backlinks to your site. At Markethive, there is a Backlinking tool with which you can very easily increase Alexa ranking. When a webpage links to any other page, it’s called a backlink. Backlinks are a major metric for the ranking of a webpage. A page with a lot of backlinks tends to rank higher on all major search engines.

 

 

  • Build Backlinking through guest posts. Guest posts create more backlinks which will in turn work as an Alexa rank booster. The one non-negotiable thing you should have for guest-posting is this. The host blogger must include a link to your blog in the post somewhere (usually at the beginning or end). Over time, these backlinks will raise the value of your blog to search engines, making your content easier to find via Google, Yahoo, Bing, and others.

 

It is good practice to know why Alexa ranking is important, how to determine unique visitors and why your website needs it. The tips above will ultimately help you to achieve a lower Alexa ranking to your website. Start by downloading the toolbar, find out your ranking, and display it on your home page proudly.

MarketHive an Amazing Opportunity To Earn Money
 

Markethive was born out of Veretekk, one of the few businesses where I have made money online by Introducing others. You do not need to have business yourself but can use the business tools and share them with others.

So how do you earn money, the answer is simple by using the system for an hour or so every day, you can earn MHV, as an Entrepreneur (free members need to introduce 3 others membersbefore the faucet earning are switched on)

At the moment everyone who joins earn 500MHV and the mentor who introduces them earns a matching bonus of 500 MHV.

It is money for nothing and the first question free members ask is how can I withdraw the coins, so they can cut and run. The answer at the moment is you need to wait until the Markethive Exchange is completed.

Once the exchange is completed coins will be able to be brought and sold and also used to fund upgrades and pay for addition tools and services.

So rather than do nothing whilst you wait why not follow the tutorial system and find out amongst other thing how to earn additional coins.

Here is a Tutorial to guide you in setting up your profile

There is a link to more videos on your home page.

Now if you have your own business, you will find that by upgrading to Entrepreneur will actually cost you nothing because at the end of 12 months your $100 monthly subscription will provide you with 10% share of an ILP worth around $1,500.

Binance Says KYC Data Leak Fake’ but Is Investigating Blackmail Demand Source

Binance Says KYC Data Leak ‘Fake’, but Is Investigating Blackmail Demand Source

                            

Digital asset exchange Binance has spoken out about a so-called “leak”

of its know-your-customer (KYC) data, posted earlier today in a Telegram group. In a statement, the company said the information posted was from February 2018, and hinted a bad actor had been blackmailing the company and demanding a 300 BTC ransom to withhold 10,000 registered user photos.

Telegram Channel Posts Binance User Data, Gets Taken Down

The information reportedly appeared in a Telegram channel called “kycisimportant”. On Twitter, Binance encouraged people to report the group and at press time, it is no longer accessible. Binance Global PR representative Leah Li told Bitsonline the Telegram team had taken down the group after multiple reports. Telegram regularly removes channels and users that attract complaints of spam, harassment, or other wrongdoing.

CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao called reports of the leak “FUD” (which generally means “untrue”) and “old news”, Binance’s online statement referred to a “false KYC leak”. Binance is offering a bounty of 25 BTC to anyone who can offer useful information in tracking down the blackmailer — which suggests the data did in fact contain real customer information.

Leaked Data ‘Bears Similarity’ to Binance User Info

In a company blog post explaining the situation, Binance said the posts on Telegram “bear similarity to Binance KYC data”. The company added there “are inconsistencies when comparing this data to the data in our system” as they did not bear the digital watermark it imprints on the customer data it keeps. However, the statement also noted Binance’s security team was investigating the incident with law enforcement agencies, and the third-party vendor it had contracted in 2018. Reports of a leaked KYC data haul from Binance and fellow exchange Kraken had circulated as far back as January 2019. A hacker had previously contacted the company with demands for 300 BTC to keep the information private, but had been unable to prove the data they held was genuine.

It also noted that it had previously hired a third-party vendor to provide KYC verification services in February 2018, to handle the high volume of applications it had received. At the time, Binance had become wildly popular and many users had been unable to sign up for new accounts. There were reports of potential users offering money to those already signed up to transfer their accounts, as eager investors queued to gain access to the broad range of cryptocurrencies and ICO tokens Binance was trading.

What Is KYC Data and Why Is it Vulnerable?

KYC data collection is an international legal requirement for all banks and online exchanges to prevent money laundering, tax evasion and other financial crimes. Typically, it involves name and current address information, and a recognized photo identity document such as a passport or driver’s license. Many exchanges often require additional ID in the form of a selfie showing the user holding the document, to prevent anyone signing up with someone else’s information.

The requirement for so many companies to hold this data is often criticized, given the tendency of organizations both large and small to suffer breaches. Companies storing this data find themselves constantly under attack, as identity documents coupled with financial information like credit cards and bank account numbers can be lucrative for data thieves. This data is particularly vulnerable for that reason, and the fact that even organizations with (supposedly) rock solid storage security are still vulnerable to leaks via third-party contractors or inside sources — both past and present.

Large, well-known corporations such as Target, Equifax and (more recently) Capital One have all experienced massive customer data breaches in past years. The hacks exposed the personal data of millions of mainly American customers, most of which likely ended up for sale on darknet markets and led to large-scale identity theft. Some have proposed blockchain-based systems for an internationally-recognized KYC and identity network, where data is encrypted and owners retain the private keys to this information. However there’s still the problem of who could access this data and how, with governments and companies always looking for faster and more convenient (for them) access to information about people’s lives and economic habits.

ABBC Releases Major Platform Update Steps Closer to Crypto eCommerce Vision

ABBC Releases Major Platform Update, Steps Closer to Crypto eCommerce Vision

Dubai, UAE, August 12th, 2019 –

The ABBC Foundation, in partnership with New York-based custom blockchain development firm, DeepDive.Tech, is proud to announce the production release of ABBC’s new blockchain and multi-platform/multi-crypto wallet. ABBC Foundation, the company behind Buyaladdin, has just announced the release of a major platform update to the ABBC ecosystem. This update includes a multitude of features that make ABBC a “world class transactional blockchain overnight” according to their CEO, Mr. Jason Daniel Paul Philip.

Aside from the Buyaladdin platform which is slated to launch in October, Mr. Philip shared something that ABBC supporters can get excited about — a whole new blockchain ecosystem and wallet overhaul. Additionally, the ABBC Team will be releasing an updated ABBC whitepaper soon, but prior to that, the team announced a few sneak peeks for their users. With the new mainnet now in place, ABBC customers will experience transactions speeds that are an order of magnitude faster than the previous mainnet, a hassle-free migration between the old and new ABBC blockchain, as well as benefit from a globally distributed, high availability and responsive enterprise-grade network, just to name a few.

Major Wallet Upgrades

The new ABBC mobile wallet has been completely re-designed by DeepDive.tech from the ground up and offers many new capabilities which have been developed with the “everyday” end-user in mind. With the newly designed ABBC wallet, users will now be able to easily transact with not just their ABBC coins, but with a significant amount of existing tokens, all while using the ABBC wallet on any of the supported major operating system platforms (Android, iOS and desktop). The new ABBC wallet also offers full support for other major cryptocurrencies, and currently supports all ERC-20 tokens (1,600 tokens to be exact), with additional token types to be supported in the near future. Simply put, the ABBC wallet platform enables users to transact across multiple wallet addresses supporting multiple accounts and cryptocurrencies, all from the end-user computing platform of your choice.

With upgrades comes the topic of migration, and typically migrating is a big hassle for users, but not with this update. According to the DeepDive.tech, the development partner of ABBC, the upgraded wallet only requires users to click twice to migrate from the former ABBC MC Wallet or Aladdin Wallet to the new Gen 2 ABBC wallet and blockchain. The wallet migration process is so simple and straightforward that users simply need to enter the email address that was used when configuring their previous wallet, and then click on a one-time use link which will confirm ownership of their email address. From there, the wallet and funds migration process will happen instantly.

From Hybrid to DPoS: Faster and More Secure

In addition to the deployment of the new ABBC mainnet and wallet, the ABBC blockchain has updated their consensus algorithm from a hybrid combination of Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS) to Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) which delivers enhanced network security, integrity, scalability, and speed. According to the ABBC Development Team, the new ABBC mainnet already supports 5,000 transactions per second, making the blockchain arguably one of the top performers in the industry today.

Tad Einstein, CTO of development partner DeepDive.tech, mentioned that “5,000 transactions per second is just the start and you can expect to see these numbers increase significantly over time. What makes ABBC’s next-gen blockchain ecosystem unique is that we have implemented several disruptive blockchain technologies within the mainnet which will ensure the project’s current and future performance requirements are met.” Boris Heismann, CIO of DeepDive.tech, also stated that “The new ABBC ecosystem has been created with special features which make it the most efficient blockchain for broad FinTech adoption. Implementing these design considerations were instrumental when you consider Buyaladdin’s global 100-million customer user base.” Another item that came up in conversation was that each block is being generated every half a second, providing a seamless user experience when transacting.

Distributed Global Infrastructure

The mainnet has been architected to be highly available and globally distributed to ensure a predictable quality of experience for end-users. The global infrastructure supporting the mainnet leverages a hybrid deployment model, with ABBC nodes being strategically distributed across Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and privately-owned data centers. This deployment model affords the ABBC blockchain with enterprise-grade reliability and resiliency while delivering a low latency transactional experience for consumers

RISE Aims To Take the B2B Blockchain Space By Storm

RISE Aims To Take the B2B Blockchain Space By Storm

                                

2019 will be known as the enterprise-to-enterprise boom in blockchain.

Business-to-Business (B2B) Blockchain companies will out-perform the market because they provide the tools that other businesses need in order to survive. 82% of Fortune 100 companies are researching how they can implement blockchain technology into their current business model. IBM is leading the charge in this field, however their cost of implementation is sky-high which leaves a lot of smaller businesses in the cold. This is where RISE comes in. RISE offers a low-cost, robust and flexible B2B blockchain to businesses of all sizes. There’s a lot that makes RISE stand out from the competition. Here’s an overview of some of the unique characteristics, benefits and features that make RISE the ideal choice for B2B Blockchains:

  • Blazing fast turn-arounds, RISE’s Blockchain technology offers same-day turn-key rollout of a new blockchain. 
  • Highly configurable. RISE is programmed in a fully modular way which makes changes to the core code a breeze. Transaction fee structures (dynamic or passive), level of decentralization, token supply, and much more can be adjusted with a few keystrokes. 

Even the consensus mechanism is fully modular, which means RISE is not bound to just one consensus mechanism (such as Delegated Proof-of-Stake) but the consensus module can be swapped out for one that implements Proof-of-Work, Proof-of-Stake, and any other consensus mechanism imaginable. This is unique in the blockchain space. 

  • RISE is built 100% using web technologies. The core is programmed in Typescript, a subset of JavaScript. Since there is a massive supply of web developers in the world, companies will have no problem finding developers to maintain or build out their new B2B Blockchain based on RISE. 
  • A blockchain based on RISE can handle very high transaction volumes which provides more than enough bandwidth for most use cases. Network tests have shown RISE to be capable of up to 1000 transactions per second (TPS). Compare this to Bitcoin with a median TPS of just 7. 
  • RISE Blockchain Technology has built-in data storage features, which enables developers to permanently store data on the blockchain. This makes many use cases possible, think of payment processors, a notary system, an eternity wall, supply chain management and much more.  

Aside from this list of benefits especially geared to cater to B2B, RISE has many attractive features for the general user. Let’s touch on a few of them below. The RISE wallet is universal, created using Google’s battle-tested Material UI components, making it extremely easy and intuitive to use. One wallet manages multiple accounts, is highly configurable, and fully supports the Nano Ledger hardware for optimal security. The wallet runs on all major operating systems (MacOS, Windows and Linux), a web version is available as well and is optimized for mobile use. The new RISE address system is based on bech32, which provides checksum, is very secure and QR code efficient. RISE offers an efficient TS/JS code library that makes it easy for developers to integrate RISE transactions in their own applications. 

Decentralization

The decentralized nature of blockchain technology means that it doesn't rely on a central point of control. A lack of a single authority makes the system fairer and considerably more secure. Out of the box RISE is already highly decentralized among the blockchain projects currently in existence. However, what makes RISE unique is that its level of decentralization can be scaled in a virtually unlimited fashion and fine-tuned to the specific requirements of each use case.

Markethive’s ILP what is it?

Markethive's ILP, What Is It?
Incentivized Loan Program

Think ICO or IEO type of crowd funding. ICOs have come under the scrutiny and attention of Government regulators for their speculative nature and many ICOs have turned out to be total scams. IEOs have sprung up to find a bypass to avoid the regulators scrutiny.Think ICO or IEO type of crowd funding. ICOs have come under the scrutiny and attention of Government regulators for their speculative nature and many ICOs have turned out to be total scams. IEOs have sprung up to find a bypass to avoid the regulators scrutiny.

 

ICO: Initial Coin Offering often in tandem with a crowd funding or MLM offering. Basically you put up some money and in return you are given tokens which are promised to become coins you can trade on the exchanges. The promoters will publish all their plans as white papers and the reason for the funding is to build out the plan, the dream the construct the technology.

But…

New study says 80 percent of ICOs conducted in 2017 were scams. With 50% of them failing to this day within 4 months and because of this overwhelming failure rate the SEC is hammering down and investors are fleeing from them.

And to make it even worse, 86% of all surviving ICOs their coins are worth far less than the investors paid initially.

Simply put ICOs were a good idea ruined by unethical shysters preying on innocent people.

 

IEO: What is an IEO? An Initial Exchange Offering, as its name suggests, is conducted on the platform of a cryptocurrency exchange. Contrary to Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), an IEO is administered by a crypto exchange on behalf of the startup that seeks to raise funds with its newly issued tokens.

IEO participants do not send contributions to a smart contract, such as governs an ICO. Instead, they have to create an account on the exchange’s platform where the IEO is conducted. The contributors then fund their exchange wallets with coins and use those funds to buy the fundraising company’s tokens.

The biggest problem of an IEO is the core problem of too few people owning a majority of the token circulation. This happens mainly because an IEO is limited to one or several exchanges. People that don’t own an account at these exchanges are excluded from the sale, resulting in a small number of people getting their hands on the tokens. Accounts at exchanges need background checks, identity verifications, Know-Your-Customer procedures, all of which takes time. So, if you don’t have an account a day or few days before the IEO, you probably don’t have a chance at participating.

The above reason’s risk is associated to price manipulation. But constricting a coin’s circulation to a single or few exchanges opens up more possibilities for price manipulations, because no one can stop the whales. This also increases the risk of pump and dump schemes. This vulnerability will sway off many investors, because of the risks it poses. That’s why when researching the projects that you want to invest in, you have to take notice of the total token circulation. If the token supply is small and/or is distributed uneven and unfair, it’s highly susceptible to price manipulation and token hoarding.

Exchanges do their due diligence when they list a new token. Risking their reputation if they fail to do so, exchanges are very precise when they list a token, examining and researching the project’s whitepaper, product, team and more so they don’t list a scam project. The shear abundance of scam projects stays in the way of exchanges pursuing to do an IEO. If an exchange makes an IEO, then the token will be listed easier at the exchange, which opens up a vulnerability and strips the project of their obligations to deliver a good product.

Centralized exchanges like most of the big exchanges own the private keys of all wallets and making a trade or a transaction only happens on the exchange and not on the blockchain. That way, investors do not truly own their tokens and most of them don’t trust centralized exchanges. This also opens up the possibility of a failure on the exchange’s part.

When an IEO ends, the token trading starts. But because of the nature of IEO crowdfunding, people that want to invest in the project have to wait for the price to drop. Because of the fact that some investors got a big piece of the pie, these whales can choose to sell for immediate profits, destroying the price of the coin and/or profiting on the expense of small-time investors, removing the incentive to trade the token.

ILP

Not based on speculation but based on performance

Markethive’s ILP means Incentivized Loan Program. Operated independently from or in tandem with crowd funding, the ILPs comparison to the speculative nature of the ICO and IEO ends there. Simply put the ILP means you are lending Markethive money via terms within a smart contract. With attractive interest and loan repayments based on Markethive growth milestones, the ILP also offers and incentive a perk as it is, of a token. This token is based on 1 full token equals one share of about 1000 assigned shares. These shares “share” 20% of the company’s revenue. Revenue projections are based on 4 years of operations with established growth rates in membership signups, revenue upgrades and Alexa growth. In other words, traction.

1 full share is available at $25,000 or fractions of those shares to the single unit 100,000,000th called the BIT.  1 BIT would then be valued at .00025. $100 would acquire 400,000 BITs.

These shares can be traded but more important they will pay out their share of the 20% of the revenue for 20 years based on the ILP token and these tokens will be renewable at term. These shares are also tradeable, assignable and will act similar to a promissory note.

Although Markethive is a global company and will have mining hives and crypto exchanges worldwide, its headquarters reside in Wyoming. Notably, as published in Forbes, Wyoming is the only US state that provides a comprehensive, welcoming legal framework that enables blockchain technology, both for individuals and companies. This is good news for Markethive and its community.

Matthew D. Kaufman of Hathaway & Kunz, LLP, The Wyoming Law Firm™ that was key in the afore mentioned Wyoming legislation is also the Lawyer retained by Markethive, states that “…Wyoming is one of the most blockchain-friendly states in the United States…”

What Are The Benefits Of An ILP?

One of the key benefits of ILPs is the fact they are a form of a loan. These kinds of funds are not taxed as is the case with ICO funding in some jurisdictions where it can be up to 40% as it is seen as income. Due to the crowdfunding aspect of the ILP, it is considered as a loan hence it is completely and totally compliant to the regulatory and UCC code which means it is not a security. The Incentivized Loan Program ™ is within the legal parameters (UCC) that govern the mainstream credit market. Markethive Members who decide to take part in this program are assured that their funds are well protected and cannot dissolve without a trace as seen by some ICO’s (Initial Coin Offering Projects) in the past.

ILPs are also regulatory friendly, in that they can be compliant even with the most stringent regulatory frameworks around the world when it comes to fraud and money laundering. Participants are required to submit identification to show who they are. This solves one of the biggest issues that have seen regulators criticize ICOs severely.

There is no limit to the amount you choose to loan Markethive. The best part is even the small investor can participate by way of the Entrepreneur program at $100 per month. Not only does it unlock the advertising and commerce portals, it earns you a 1/10th share of an ILP for every 12 months that you continuously contribute to the program (limited to the first 1000 Entrepreneur upgrades).  That is significant as the ILP will be like a Bitcoin in that it will be able to be broken down into “satoshis” ie: 1 millionth of a coin. So 1 full ILP equals 1 million ILP “satoshis”. This enables Markethive to conduct bounties, rewards, and trading on the ILP. This simply turns the ILP into a cash cow.

SUMMARY ILP:

  1. It's a debt instrument and not subject to tax and it compliant with the USA UCC code governing debt instruments.
  2. The company doesn't need to create tokens that are speculative and actually have no use.
  3. It is open to individuals around the world as loans are allowed almost everywhere.
  4. After the principal is paid you earn interest and will share in the success of the company.

Very Easy to Participate

Sign up at Markethive.com for a FREE membership and then upgrade to the Entrepreneur level (availability is limited and can end at any given time).

After every continuous year you will receive an additional  1/10 of a full ILP and after 10 years you can accommodate a full ILP token.

Purchase an ILP outright (priorities are given to ILP purchasers)

Reddit Co-Founder to Stream Blockchain Game Skyweaver Face-Off

Reddit Co-Founder to Stream Blockchain Game Skyweaver Face-Off

                                                Alexis Ohanian

Reddit Co-Founder Alexis Ohanian will live stream a face-off match
of the latest blockchain collectible card game he's invested in, SkyWeaver.

Reddit co-founder, Alexis Ohanian, will be live-streaming a face-off match between himself and the lead developer of the latest collectible card game to hit the blockchain, SkyWeaver. Ohanian, also known as kn0thing to Redditors, has famously invested in numerous successful startups. He is now playing his hand in the crypto space thanks to his latest investment. Horizon Blockchain Games last month received $3.75 million in seed funding from Ohanian and other investors. SkyWeaver is an Ethereum-based title that hopes to take on the kingpin of all digital card games, Hearthstone. In its five year foray, Hearthstone has attracted more than 100 million players to its franchise and it’s this drawcard, so to speak, that the Reddit co-founder is banking on.

So What’s SkyWeaver’s Value Proposition Then?

That’s a good question and one that basically all boils down to asset ownership. In Hearthstone and other digital equivalents, cards are not freely transferrable. If, as a player, you move on to other gaming pastures, your years of hard work collecting prized fighters will mean jack. You can’t sell them, you can’t take them with you, and you certainly can’t give them to anyone else – unless they take control of your account, of course. This limitation has been the bane of many online card collectible players who’ve put in the time only to see very little in the way of monetary reward. Gameplay From a SkyWeaver Community Stream. | Source: Horizon Blockchain Games YouTube Channel. Then there’s the problem that experienced players face by frequently unlocking duplicate cards. The result is a frustrated fanbase with limited or zero exchange options.

As one Horizon employee puts it:

“With Skyweaver using Ethereum, it means you can send your cards to your friends, trade them with other players on our platform, trade them on another website, buy/sell them on Reddit, burn them, lend them to people that want to play with your cards while you are on vacation, etc. Basically, we can’t prevent you from doing whatever you want with these cards, just like physical cards.”

Last month, Hearthstone fans ripped into developer Blizzard for censoring the game’s long-standing art by dumbing down certain violent and sexual aspects of the cards. Could blockchain’s immutability preserve the evolution of a game’s art? It’s possible. What’s clear is the potential value of rare digital card collection. Ten years from now, hardcore SkyWeaver players may have built up an impressive set that could pocket them some serious change.

SkyWeaver Livestream Face-Off Details

SkyWeaver is currently still in private beta and is expected to launch later this year. In the meantime, Horizon is inviting new players to try out the game every week thanks to a random selection process for registered players. The game is free to play, and players will be able to build decks for free up to a point. Additional cards can be bought or traded with other players or from Horizon itself. The showmatch with Jon Loucks was initially scheduled for go-live on Aug. 8 but has since been postponed. Ohanian is the clear underdog here but will probably be more interested in evaluating his massive investment before anything else.
