✨ Building on Community Support - Celebrating My 45th Week on Steemit!

steempowerpics (69)in #whaleshares • 7 years ago

Time seems to be something we never have enough of lately.There is a lot going on behind the scenes as the dev team works together to coordinate several projects currently in developemnt. In the coming days and weeks you will see more and more community outreach initiatives designed to build synergy between the large number of projects scheduled to launch this year.

Join us in the Whaleshares
Discord as more and more details are released about the upcoming projects and changes coming within the BeyondBitcoin and Whaleshares Communities. Opportunities are all around us in the cryptospace, blockchain technology is in it's infancy and everyone here today has a chance to get in on the ground floor.

The Whaleshares BETA platform continues to evolve as new features and functionality is built-in. We are giving everyone a chance to preview the new platform we are putting together and provide a channel for feedback in our Discord. Currently, this is a "closed beta", meaning that only team leaders and support groups from the Whaleshares, Bitshares, and EOS Communities are being given access the beta to test posting and other features as they get added on. However, we welcome you to start the sign-up process to reserve your username and be ready for the official launch.

There are so many new platforms in development that will be launching this year that will find synergy with the new Whaleshares platform. When we asked everyone to think about what they would do if they had their
own "Whale Token" we wanted to emphasize the fact that cross-platform sharing and support will be encouraged and rewarded by a large community of whales working together to help others. Leveraging the synergies between chains to help large communities of people, while earning decent rewards for your efforts and involvement is a win-win for everyone.

At this time I have 2 different "Whale Tokens" planned myself. These tokens will be used in a similar way to the current Whaleshare and BeyondBit upvote tokens to reward community involvement and initiatives,
but they will not be a part of the Steemit ecosystem. One token will work only on Smoke Network, and the other one will work on Whaleshares and VICE.

As I have been saying for a while now, 2018 will be a great year for all of us willing to keep our eyes and options open. Thank you to everyone who helped make it another great week, my 45th here on Steemit.

BeyondBitcoin / Whaleshares

As the official Community Coordinator for BeyondBitcoin / Whaleshares, I continue my efforts to prepare everyone the new projects and cross-chain partnerships beginning to take shape, oversee the weekly initiatives, contests and challenges, as well as the weekly live events and shows produced by our community. There is a lot going on behind the scenes and this flurry of hectic activity has one goal - to bring positive change and opportunities to everyone who is looking to be part of a vibrant, cooperative and friendly community.

We joking refer to this process as "Building Voltron".

You will here us reference Mutual Aide Societies (MAS) with regard to future chains and platforms as we go along because that is what the team is building. Open and connected societies of people from around he world coming together with the mutual goal of helping one another.

EOSTalk Live is Growing Fast

_{Recording
of this week's EOSTalk Live.}

Our LIVE show has moved to Saturday Night.
In the last show we had a discussion about EOSindex.io and Daniel Larimer recent presentation at Virginia Tech, we had an update on the MASDACS.io cross-posting platform, and gave an update on our weekly community initiatives.

We announced the upcoming format change to the show. We will introduce a weekly guest speaker RSVP post to allow DApp developers, DACs, Block Producers, and others working in the EOSIO space a chance to signup for a spot on the weekly show and earn EOSBits for their participation.

Check out the EOSTalk Live RSVP here:

DApp/Project Announcements

📢Whaleshares/BitsharesTalk.io

The Whaleshares BETA is up and running smoothly this week. Accounts access is currently limited to team leaders and support groups from the Whaleshares, Bitshares, and EOS Communities. Early access into the beta is to help test site functionality and features as they get added on.

The BitsharesTalk Forum BETA which works on the new Whaleshares chain was also launched this week. The forums give the Bitshares Community a place to post information on worker proposals, DEX updates, and
bitshares compatible projects and tokens.

Please note: Both platforms are still in early "CLOSED BETA" testing and certain features/functionalities will be missing or turned on/off at various times for testing and upgrades.

You are welcome to start the sign-up process to reserve your username and be ready for the official launch.

📢Smoke Network

The new Smoke Network TESTNet website has been launched and is available for everyone to check out. Account approval will be selective to those active in the Smoke Telegram, and all data/usernames/earnings are temporary for testing purposes and will be cleared before the official platform launch.

The OFFICIAL ICO Started on 4.20 (April 20th) and a big announcement was made regarding a change to the initial token distribution when the mainnet launches. Check out the website for more details.

📢Poject Milkbox

The dev team has been working hard to structure the Project Milkbox and, now, we want to know your ideas and opinions, that's why we decided to start our first open forum in which everyone can participate. Let us
know your doubts about the program, as well as your suggestions, everything is welcome!

📢 VICE Network

VICE continues on schedule pushing towards it's release date on June 28
with a rapid series of announcements over the last 3 week. Following
partnership announcements with Playboy Entertainment and Penthouse, VICE
has announced a rapid series of exchange listings for the pre-launch
Vice Industry Token (ERC-20).

There is an official call for witnesses to help launch the VIT Network
which has been posted on their website. Simply fill out the form to get
an invite to the discord for more information. As a long time supporter
of original NSFW content here on Steemit and of the VICE project, as
well as coordinator of the upcoming VIT Show we will be hosting on the
Whaleshares server starting next week... I have decided to go all in and
apply for an initial witness spot as well. Hopefully a team of
cooperative initial witnesses who plan to put the success of the
platform ahead of personal gains will come together in the coming weeks
to help launch the new chain. I will keep everyone up-to-date as I learn
more.

REMINDER: You have to keep your crowdfund tokens in your same ETH wallet
in order to receive the 50% bonus. So if you move out tokens to sell in
the pre-markets you will lose that bonus.

📢 DPORN.CO

DPorn is moving along with its development schedule according to the
latest posts on the official @DPorn blog and the first videos are being
upload using the new platform interface. It is great to see things
coming together with this project and in my opinion there is plenty of
room for both VICE and DPorn to coexist peacefully as a win-win to
original content creators and those who support them.

PORND token rewards are starting to payout now, but you have to register
your bitshares account wit hDPon in orde to receive benefits.

Only Verified transfers will be made. Please, send a min. of 1 PornD
, Or BitShares to sorenman1 on Bitshares . In the memo field, write your
discord name and SteemIt handle. We'll start the process manually, but
move to an automated bot in discord at a later date.

The active community in their discord continues to grow with members
launching NSFW contests to help bring people together before the
platform is launched which is really awesome! Weekly NSFW challenges by
@persefone and supported by @fucktime continue to promote ORIGINAL NSFW
Content, and is currently finishing week 3.

Be sure to follow and join the discord for the latest updates, and get
in on some FREE Token Giveaways.
