A koan is a type of riddle or paradoxical statement used in Zen Buddhism to provoke deep thought and insight and facilitate spiritual awakening. It's designed to challenge logical thinking and help practitioners break through mental barriers to achieve a higher understanding or enlightenment. Often, there's no straightforward answer, and the point is to meditate on the koan until a moment of clarity or realization occurs. It’s typically a short story, question, or statement that seems illogical or contradictory at first glance. The purpose of a koan is not to find a logical answer but to push the mind beyond conventional thinking.
Koans are often used by Zen masters as a teaching method. They present the koan to a student, who then contemplates it during meditation. The process of grappling with a koan can lead to a sudden, intuitive understanding known as "kensho" or "satori," which are moments of enlightenment.
Examples of well-known koans include "What is the sound of one hand clapping?" or "Does a dog have Buddha nature?" The responses to these koans are not about finding the right answer but about experiencing a shift in consciousness.
Koans also serve to demonstrate the limitations of language and logical reasoning in capturing the true nature of reality. By engaging with a koan, practitioners learn to see beyond the surface of words and concepts, aiming to reach a more profound understanding of existence.
Mu (Nothingness): A monk asked Master Zhaozhou, "Does a dog have Buddha nature?" Zhaozhou replied, "Mu" (which means "no" or "nothingness").
"The Sound of One Hand Clapping":
A famous koan from the Hakuin School of Zen that simply asks, "What is the sound of one hand clapping?"
"What was your original face before you were born?":
This koan invites the practitioner to reflect on their true nature, beyond birth and death.
"When both hands are clapped a sound is produced; listen to the sound of one hand clapping.":
Another version of the one-hand clapping koan, often attributed to Zen Master Hakuin.
"A monk asked Master Yunmen, 'What is Buddha?' Yunmen replied, 'A dried shit stick.'":
This koan challenges preconceived notions of sacredness and the idea of Buddha as something pure or holy.
"Out of nowhere, the mind comes forth.":
This koan is intended to provoke insight into the nature of the mind and consciousness.
"When you meet the Buddha, kill the Buddha.":
A provocative koan that suggests the importance of letting go of attachments, even to spiritual ideals or figures.
"A monk asked Zhaozhou, 'What is the Way?' Zhaozhou replied, 'Your everyday mind is the Way.'":
This koan emphasizes the idea that enlightenment is not something separate from daily life.
"Does a tree falling in the forest make a sound when no one is around to hear it?":
While this is more of a philosophical question than a traditional koan, it shares similarities in challenging assumptions about reality.
These koans are used to encourage deep contemplation, often leading to sudden, intuitive insights that transcend ordinary thinking.
The history of the koan is deeply rooted in the development of Zen Buddhism, particularly in China and later in Japan. Here’s a brief overview:
Origins of Koan in China
Zen Buddhism (Chan Buddhism in China) began to take shape in the 6th century with the arrival of the Indian monk Bodhidharma, who is traditionally credited with bringing Zen to China.
The use of "gong'an" (公案), the Chinese term for koan, emerged in the Tang Dynasty (618–907). These were records of sayings and actions of Zen masters, often involving dialogues between masters and students.
The "Five Houses of Zen" (Chan) developed during this period, and each school contributed to the tradition of using these enigmatic stories and questions.
One of the earliest collections of these teachings was the "Blue Cliff Record" (Biyan Lu), compiled in the 11th century by Yuanwu Keqin. It consists of 100 koans, each with a commentary and verse.
Zen Buddhism was introduced to Japan in the 12th century, where it evolved and flourished, particularly during the Kamakura period (1185–1333).
Eisai (1141–1215) and Dōgen (1200–1253) were among the early Japanese Zen masters who brought the teachings from China, but it was Hakuin Ekaku (1686–1769) who played a significant role in systematizing the koan practice in Japan.
Hakuin reemphasized the use of koans as a central part of Zen training, especially in the Rinzai school of Zen, where koan practice became a rigorous discipline aimed at provoking deep insight and enlightenment.
Role in Zen Training
In Zen monasteries, koans are used as part of sanzen or dokusan—private interviews between a Zen master and a student. The student presents their understanding of the koan, and the master evaluates their response.
The process often involves the student meditating on the koan for an extended period, sometimes for years, until they achieve a breakthrough or kensho—a direct experience of enlightenment.
Modern Usage
Today, koans are still used in Zen practice, particularly in the Rinzai school, though they are also studied in the Sōtō school in a different context.
Koans have also influenced western philosophy and literature, with their paradoxical nature attracting thinkers and writers interested in exploring the limits of logic and language.
Overall, the koan tradition has been a central part of Zen Buddhism for over a thousand years, serving as a powerful Tool for challenging and transcending ordinary thought to achieve a deeper understanding of reality.
Are there any parallels to the koan in other cultures?
Yes, there are several parallels to the koan in other cultures and spiritual traditions, where paradoxical statements, riddles, or questions are used to provoke deeper insight, challenge conventional thinking, or lead to spiritual awakening. Here are a few examples:
Sufi Mysticism (Islamic Tradition)
Sufi tales and poetry often use paradoxical language and stories to convey spiritual truths. The teachings of Sufi mystics like Rumi and Hafiz contain many examples of riddles and paradoxes that are meant to transcend ordinary logic and guide the seeker towards a direct experience of the divine.
An example is the teaching story of Nasreddin Hodja, a folk character known for his humorous and paradoxical anecdotes that often carry deeper spiritual lessons.
Hasidic Judaism
In Hasidic Judaism, particularly in the teachings of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, stories and parables are used to convey mystical ideas. These stories often involve paradoxes and challenges to conventional religious thought, encouraging followers to look beyond the literal meanings and seek deeper spiritual insights.
The Talmud also contains riddles and discussions that can be seen as similar to koans, where the purpose is to engage in deep reflection rather than arriving at a simple answer.
Christian Mysticism
Christian mystics, such as Meister Eckhart and St. John of the Cross, often used paradoxical language to describe the experience of God. Eckhart, for instance, spoke of the "God beyond God," a concept meant to push believers beyond their ordinary understanding of the divine.
The teachings of the Desert Fathers and Christian contemplatives sometimes include sayings and stories that challenge straightforward interpretation, much like koans.
Hindu Mysticism
In Hinduism, particularly within the Advaita Vedanta tradition, teachings often employ paradoxical statements to convey the non-dual nature of reality. For example, the idea that "You are That" (Tat Tvam Asi) points to the oneness of the individual self (Atman) and the universal self (Brahman).
The Upanishads contain numerous paradoxical teachings, such as the concept of the self being both everything and nothing.
Taoism
Taoist texts, especially the Tao Te Ching by Laozi, are filled with paradoxes and contradictions meant to convey the ineffable nature of the Tao (the Way). Statements like "The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao" challenge conventional understanding and encourage a more intuitive grasp of reality.
Zhuangzi's writings also include stories and dialogues that are rich in paradox, meant to shake the reader out of ordinary thinking and into a deeper awareness.
Western Philosophy
In Western philosophy, particularly in the works of Socrates and later existentialists like Søren Kierkegaard, we find the use of paradox as a tool for philosophical inquiry. Socratic dialogues often end in aporia, a state of puzzlement, which is meant to provoke deeper questioning.
Kierkegaard used paradox to explore the nature of faith, famously stating that "faith is the contradiction between the infinite passion of inwardness and objective uncertainty."
These examples show that many spiritual and philosophical traditions across cultures use paradoxical statements and stories to encourage deeper reflection, challenge conventional thinking, and lead to profound insights—similar to the function of koans in Zen Buddhism.
The development of the koan in Zen Buddhism was primarily influenced by the unique cultural and spiritual context of China, rather than direct influence from other religious or philosophical traditions. However, some indirect influences and parallels can be identified:
Taoism
Taoism had a significant influence on the development of Zen Buddhism in China. The Taoist emphasis on spontaneity, paradox, and the ineffable nature of the Tao aligns closely with the spirit of Zen. The paradoxical language found in Taoist texts like the Tao Te Ching and Zhuangzi resonates with the koan tradition. Zen’s focus on direct experience and the idea of going beyond conventional logic is akin to Taoist principles.
Mahayana Buddhism
Koans evolved within the broader framework of Mahayana Buddhism, which emphasizes the concept of emptiness (Shunyata) and the idea that all phenomena are interconnected and lack inherent existence. The Mahayana tradition also encourages the breaking down of dualistic thinking, a theme central to koan practice. Texts like the Prajnaparamita Sutras (Perfection of Wisdom Sutras) contain paradoxical teachings that challenge conventional views of reality, laying the groundwork for the koan tradition.
Indian Buddhist Philosophy
Indian Buddhist texts, especially those from the Madhyamaka and Yogacara Schools, influenced Chinese Chan Buddhism, the precursor to Zen. These texts often contain dialectical arguments that deconstruct ordinary views of existence and non-existence, similar in spirit to the koan’s challenge to logical reasoning.
The Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch (Huineng), a foundational text of Zen, reflects these influences, emphasizing sudden enlightenment and the direct experience of one’s true nature, concepts central to koan practice.
Confucianism
While Confucianism is more focused on social ethics and proper conduct, its emphasis on the importance of dialogue and questioning as a means of learning may have indirectly influenced the development of the koan. The Confucian tradition of using dialogue to explore moral and philosophical questions shares some similarities with the master-student interactions seen in koan practice.
Indirect or Parallels (Not Direct Influence)
Sufi Mysticism, Hasidic Judaism, Christian Mysticism, and Western Philosophy likely did not directly influence the development of the koan. These traditions developed independently in different cultural and religious contexts. However, the similarities in their use of paradox and challenging questions reflect a universal human approach to exploring deep spiritual and philosophical truths.
Conclusion
The koan tradition emerged primarily from the integration of Taoist principles and Mahayana Buddhist philosophy within the unique context of Chinese Chan Buddhism. While there are parallels in other spiritual traditions, the koan’s development was more an organic outcome of these indigenous influences rather than a result of direct borrowing from other cultures.

important in their eyes.There you go. No #proofofbrain and gets put at the top. Same bullshit as HIVE. Use AI and not original shit and you are put at the bottom and @inleo could give a care, unless you are someone
Same shit on another HIVE interface except you get to pay $10 bucks a month for a piss poor product. Tell me where WE are wrong? Your interface is for 💩. I can post for FREE on PEAKD.COM Ecency.com, etc. Tell me again why you get my $20.00 USD a month for anything else than loyalty?
INLEO AMA #threadcast | All-Time High MAUs in August
August MAUs are at an all-time high. We’ve launched shorts and they’re performing incredibly wellThe new LeoAds platform is under development as we speak
Yeah, for new users some things are not as attractive yet because they are fine with the non premium experience, and if they are looking at premium ONLY for curation that is not really good
There are days when it seems they combine all the payout for a few days and send them at once. Not knowing how to check payouts on Leo's front end doesn't help either.
!DOOK
Do you consider implementing something like the "floating FAQ" as it is in Ecency? Something that would explain a brand new user everything that may not look simple. Or something similar to gaming tutorials.
Yeah... $LEO being $0.03 gives me a lot of mixed signals, because unless the situation improves, (there's a high chance it will,) the price will keep dropping...
i dont understand the obession with the price of $LEO people have. I mean, sure we want it to be up. but the tech is just getting better and better. nothing has gotten worse, the community is great, app is fun, always being improved...buy buy buy lol
I signed up through InLeo and if you have zero Hive it restricts use of InLeo just the same. It used Hive RCs to edit profile and about 17 points per post/comment/thread
I guess you count a person with multiple accounts as multiple MAUs, right? I mean I have a dedicated Actifit account which only publishes reports. If it threaded once a month, it would count as a separated user.
*Oh, so it's tied to the person who created the blog-post? Makes sense, and I like that! ...but I think you'll get more links shared if you allowed people who share the links to benefit too.
Well, that answer got my gears turning! The FreeCompliments referral specialists can receive a share of rewards earned by publicly posting links that I write about FC. How's that for an incentive? @sabrinah@calebmarvel01@nabbas0786
As per Khal, no, but I can set this up privately for the referral specialists! It's not going to be exact, but I can send over little tips when I see there are people onboarded from you guys.
If I linked to the user @A's post, and then I linked to the user @B's post. Will the referral get overridden for the person who opened the first link then the second?
woaaahhh new referral system is solid! I love this. I’m gonna share shorts with a classmate who shares retro toys and 80s metal on fb, he showed some interest but got confused quickly
With all these things khal is explaining about ads I think it's much more bigger both in form than what we see literally. Ads approval seriously, that's cool.
Well, they don't yet understand that Hive is much more than just the rewards. We still talk about the rewards because that is what the people want to hear, only a few with like-mindset would accept to build without putting the rewards as the first priority. Hive extends far beyond its immediate financial gains.
The only thing that gives me deference about this is that InLeo links stopped appearing on Google searches after Adsense was removed. I was keeping track of this for certain links.
Losing visibility on Google can be rather painful.
(I believe less and less in $HIVE's price long-term every day... There's just too much sell pressure on it, and it seems like it'll never dissipate!!!!!*
I signed up thru InLeo, but Hive RCs did limit me. Costs 17pts per post/comment/thread. That's 5.88 posts, then you are out for 5 days editing profile costs too
Thanks, I have plenty of HP now, but it was an issue and am just thinking of newbies, because of my experience. I didn't know about your new system, but this account is newer than that system, I believe and I had issues with RCs
Awesome, now we need to find ways to get them to increase their engagement with everyone, get the Community to come together, find ways of retaining new users and help getting others involved. #buildingcommunity
With the coming through of the referral program and a new engagement feature called shorts, the number of monthly active users significantly increase..
Important question right here! If this is implemented, does the original author receive rewards for the link, or does the person who posted the link externally receive rewards (and how would this be tracked)?
I spent 2 years trying to solve the issue of posts becoming irrelevant after 7 days with the dead post initiative. You finally solved the problem 4 years later 🔥
I think millions of people rushing into crypto this time is going to be completely about hyperinflation and state control in certain places. We should put some resources into attracting people from those countries.
I'm not too happy about the prices of $LEO and $HIVE to be honest. Though I believe that if all the promises are delivered on, $LEO (at least) will sky rocket by next year.~
100 percent.
If they had been buying that Hive all along. I think they would be considered part of the community, but doing it now to try and secure funding from the DHF is my issue.
And @v4vapp should be back now following the seizure of one of my more important servers by Swedish Police. I hope they weren't after me and I was just collateral damage!

What is a koan?
A koan is a type of riddle or paradoxical statement used in Zen Buddhism to provoke deep thought and insight and facilitate spiritual awakening. It's designed to challenge logical thinking and help practitioners break through mental barriers to achieve a higher understanding or enlightenment. Often, there's no straightforward answer, and the point is to meditate on the koan until a moment of clarity or realization occurs. It’s typically a short story, question, or statement that seems illogical or contradictory at first glance. The purpose of a koan is not to find a logical answer but to push the mind beyond conventional thinking.
Koans are often used by Zen masters as a teaching method. They present the koan to a student, who then contemplates it during meditation. The process of grappling with a koan can lead to a sudden, intuitive understanding known as "kensho" or "satori," which are moments of enlightenment.
Examples of well-known koans include "What is the sound of one hand clapping?" or "Does a dog have Buddha nature?" The responses to these koans are not about finding the right answer but about experiencing a shift in consciousness.

"Out of nowhere, the mind comes forth.":

"When you meet the Buddha, kill the Buddha.":
A provocative koan that suggests the importance of letting go of attachments, even to spiritual ideals or figures.
"A monk asked Zhaozhou, 'What is the Way?' Zhaozhou replied, 'Your everyday mind is the Way.'":
This koan emphasizes the idea that enlightenment is not something separate from daily life.
"Does a tree falling in the forest make a sound when no one is around to hear it?":

INLEO AMA #threadcast | All-Time High MAUs in August
August MAUs are at an all-time high. We’ve launched shorts and they’re performing incredibly wellThe new LeoAds platform is under development as we speak
Engage2Earn 👇👇
Yeah, for new users some things are not as attractive yet because they are fine with the non premium experience, and if they are looking at premium ONLY for curation that is not really good
https://inleo.io/threads/view/taskmaster4450le/re-khaleelkazi-q95rbzw8
We need to stop the exclusive focus upon rewards.
so you are saying it's a good idea to buy $LEO regularly again? ok! sounds good.
No. Sell it all.
best price!!!
Cant wait to see the new LeoAds platform. We really need that external revenue no matter the what it it.
Like most things, other pieces that have to accompany it.
2389 shorts so far 🥳🥳. We are making a killing. 8k in the database is the goal for the month of September 🥰
https://inleo.io/threads/view/taskmaster4450le/re-khaleelkazi-299z5naj1
Progressing. Need to keep adding each day and getting more people involved.
I constantly upload shorts I see from my social media account and it's a whole lot of fun.
Keep at it. That is what we need to do.
Challenge accepted indeed 😂
Just like @taskmaster4450le said, it's time to out-contribute
Activity is crucial. We need to set a new record for threads, and by a wide margin.
We will need more activities and page views to make advertisers want to advertise with us
Exactly. Without that, they arent paying for a dead site.
seems to be a delay lately on the payout rewards for a post after an upvote.
longer than normal.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Yes, I do.
There are days when it seems they combine all the payout for a few days and send them at once. Not knowing how to check payouts on Leo's front end doesn't help either.
!DOOK
agreed.
it will be cool

I like the idea of Organization Accounts!
wow this September
Do you consider implementing something like the "floating FAQ" as it is in Ecency? Something that would explain a brand new user everything that may not look simple. Or something similar to gaming tutorials.
Yeah... $LEO being $0.03 gives me a lot of mixed signals, because unless the situation improves, (there's a high chance it will,) the price will keep dropping...
i dont understand the obession with the price of $LEO people have. I mean, sure we want it to be up. but the tech is just getting better and better. nothing has gotten worse, the community is great, app is fun, always being improved...buy buy buy lol
Money is cool, but leo as money is better
Facts!
great points. And to add another point jongo is hanging out more again on threads.
offline work took my time this year, but things are starting to smooth out, which hopefully means getting my butt back in gear here!
love to see it.
cool idea: we should automatically set rethreads to 50% or 70% beneficiary to the original author
I think we should stop all the focus on rewards and instead on building the platform.
Premium isnt really attractive for many at this time.
It will explode when LeoAI goes live.
So stop being selfish and help others out.
What a novel idea...
Helping other, the gift that has always given back my whole life LOL
Yep. It is why so many in Web3 fail. The only concern is "what do I get out it".
Amazing how far project BLANK has come ;)
Yeah I met it halfway and it's been going well.
I had to shut off the sound as I had customers :(
Even Amazon doesn't cater to everybody. There is things I cannot do there because of where I live so it has its limitations.
Here we go … 💪🏼🦁👍🏼
will there be a discount for ads for premiums?
BIG TUNE!!!!
Absolute classic!
The backstreet boys :D
What will be the most significant difference between the old leoads and the new?
good question!
Thank you. I have issues getting on X
Is there anyway we can know who has uploaded the more shorts since it came live.
Using the users poll system for approval is the democratic system of ad marketing and management.
Every users have power or right.
Its power in the hands of users
I’ve been out in the web2 blog space. I feel like if I can get even a tiny audience there I can convince a few people to come check it out here
thx guys … 💪🏼🦁👍🏼 … CY‘All
gorgeous gif
did task count every single post on the “New” tab by hand?
https://inleo.io/threads/view/taskmaster4450le/re-leothreads-2z5digs2u
can we share other peoples blog posts and get the referral? That would lead to crazy incentive to just share good articles and lead to better content
I'm pretty sure that would be possible, it'll be a waste if that wasn't the case.
That's a good idea. I'm always adding stuff in browser folders for later and assume others do the same
Onboarding keep taking a whole new dimension, that's cool to hear.
SUGGESTION
SHORTS in the tab on the profile page should display views and payout for a nice and easy overview right there!
Question
Is this feature of linking to posts and getting referrals ready yet?
We currently have an incentive to share our blog posts on our social media pages to drive referrals. Well done team
That was my concern too.~
https://inleo.io/threads/view/selfhelp4trolls/re-khaleelkazi-2xdaere4g
That is amazing. My post will now have a cookie attached 30 days. My affiliate link works for me without stress
Linking to any page for 30 days will be an amazing feature!!!!
oh damn! That is so cool! I hate sending a referral link that looks like a referral link!!! Everyone thinks it’s a pyramid scheme
The referral system is a key driver to increasing the number of monthly active users , that's right khal.
I was commenting on the wrong post for the past 7 minutes... !LOLZ
https://inleo.io/threads/view/khaleelkazi/re-leothreads-ftxqfqtb
Wen SHORTS Counter on Profile?
RCs severely restricts the ability of new users to become active
I disagree. We have a dynamic RC system
The users you're talking about must not be signing up through INLEO
I signed up through InLeo and if you have zero Hive it restricts use of InLeo just the same. It used Hive RCs to edit profile and about 17 points per post/comment/thread
With many bugs fixed and other features stable, rest assured we are getting to another all time high.
A feature complete stage platform is worth promoting. Let's tell our friends to join the conversation and our MAUs will grow
The referral program is really a key factor to both onboarding of new users and engagers.
the #referral #game is #intense
MAUs so important. How you getting to 3500? That’s a biiig jump
Double the usser? Damn
Any idea why the number of Premium subscriptions does not grow proportionally the the grow of MAU?
With users being more conversant with shorts, we would break another records of monthly active users.
What a technical analysis #bullish
Did you hear that? We started September on a good note. We are breaking the trend we had last year🥳
Good to see the Leoads coming up.
How many threads for the month of August?
I guess you count a person with multiple accounts as multiple MAUs, right? I mean I have a dedicated Actifit account which only publishes reports. If it threaded once a month, it would count as a separated user.
60 more users out of 3000 more signups? We need to find a way to get them active
Ya Eric got some feedback on X
We need all hands on deck. Tell a friend to tell a friend. 8k short is the goal and we won't hit it by merely talking about it. Let's do this!!!
https://inleo.io/threads/view/taskmaster4450le/re-sabrinah-vynulqy9
Hello everyone! You should turn on CC on youtube! Its gray! Thanks for all your work!
Los subtitulos en youtube no funcionan live, solo cuando termina el live
Chan! Eh visto lives con sub, capaz que eran de un video pre grabado!
A veces son estrenos pero no realmente lives
We had more than 80 threads even before the meeting started. That's great.
JFI: no to promote my own Tribe. But the SIGNUP button on it brings it to use the InLeo UI to sign up to Hive.
Asking for the advertisers
https://inleo.io/threads/view/guurry123/re-khaleelkazi-2bwzwx5dw
hahaha Khal this is why I believe in this project, you got me to say “I want to see ads”
Anyone working from #garage?
What do you say in a nutshell to people who think inleo is a Ponzi scheme without even looking at it?
Can't wait for this feature to finally become available... I was asking for it for a while!!!
which feature?
Private Dancer will be the theme song to OnlyTasks.
🕺
https://inleo.io/threads/view/vickvan/re-khaleelkazi-4tgvbjt9
Truly, it's possible and appreciated
Inleo Add will be good addition
I’ve been in recession for years 😢
99% for authors, 1% for the system. That's great actually.
ser....i failed!!! but back on it!!!
So glad to join today's AMA
https://inleo.io/threads/view/taskmaster4450le/re-leothreads-2lrguc616
Good for #newuser are the #threadcasts and #spaces
The incentive LEO gives for using the frontend is helping us grow
I think InLEO interface is offering what other interfaces on hive aren't.
I don't know why am being kicked out of the space often?
My premium finished today, will resubscribe today though.
With the good culture of engagement on shorts we would also draw the attention of hivers using other interface.
Question
Will linking to the Shorts and Threads make one a referral too?
All-time high MAUs is pretty impressive since the rest of the crypto space been pretty quit lately
There is some background noise on someone's mic.
You sure bud? Didnt hear nothing on youtube! I just max it just in case and nothing
Ways to increase the average time on page when people are scrolling InLeo???
We are live now, welcome everyone.
What's over time rates?
We can have 8k shorts for the month if all hands are on desk.
It is actually 6K for the month to give up 8K total.
switching to #youtube for a that #audiovisual #entertainment mean #engagement
wow, sharing of links and content will improve the brand of each user and their earnings f
Yes this new update is making sense but also shorts too.
https://inleo.io/threads/view/taskmaster4450le/re-leothreads-2lrguc616
It's great. We are growing in the amount of content creators and they come back. Repeat customers are great for a business 🥳
*Oh, so it's tied to the person who created the blog-post? Makes sense, and I like that! ...but I think you'll get more links shared if you allowed people who share the links to benefit too.
Still in development.
https://inleo.io/threads/view/ahmadmanga/re-khaleelkazi-2wakoh2yq
Oh no! That's a bummer 😞
I wish we could gain from sharing other people's posts 🥺
Help others out.
Share their posts and let them receive the referral bonus? Is that what you mean?
Yes. Why not?
Wouldnt you like if I shared one of your articles and you got a referral?
We can now extend confidently to social media with this update.
So glad to join today's AMA
with leoAds, every content including threads have high earning potential
Add to the number of threads by commenting on each short you see.
So, it's not live yet, huh?
This update will be a great game changer.
Nice update on referrals, I really like that.
The web 3 model should have the ads to be there.
I wanted to ask this question too. It would be crazy if that works out
https://inleo.io/threads/view/freecompliments/re-khaleelkazi-h43gmvp7
Resource credit isn't an issue once the newbie registered using Inleo referral link.
You can give us a prompt, 30%, 50%, 70%. I prefer to give more when I rethread other peoples stuff.
https://inleo.io/threads/view/selfhelp4trolls/re-khaleelkazi-7sozypqs
Premium subscription pays or itself.
Better to subscribe and enjoy all the premium services
Question
Can we Instead of uploading videos, we copy and paste the link of the video on short space and it immediately changes to video form.
Question
Can we please get notifications for when someone rethread our threads?
I was until like yesterday, and am gonna be again soon :)
Question
Is there a way we can know the user with the highest shorts uploaded in a week or month and can there be rewards for such user?
#freecompliments is amazing community, keep up the excellent work.
I think as its a beginning, almost every short should be curated.
so the SPL DAO used Binance instead of LeoDex.
SMH......
Question
When LeoAds comes to the picture, will Premium people see the ads too? As in, will "No Ads" ever be a Premium feature?
Well, that answer got my gears turning! The FreeCompliments referral specialists can receive a share of rewards earned by publicly posting links that I write about FC. How's that for an incentive? @sabrinah @calebmarvel01 @nabbas0786
Do we receive referral bonuses for sharing other people's posts when someone signs up?
As per Khal, no, but I can set this up privately for the referral specialists! It's not going to be exact, but I can send over little tips when I see there are people onboarded from you guys.
Hahaha 😂😂😂😂.
What's so funny, Caleb? I'm not kidding about this lol!
I don't say you are kidding, am just glad for everything...
Is there a way to not to have the footer "published from Inleo" in a long post?
#democratizcation of the #ads sounds promisisng
sure.
The number of content creators with their wonderful post published.
Best way to activate a community
Question
If I linked to the user @A's post, and then I linked to the user @B's post. Will the referral get overridden for the person who opened the first link then the second?
i Think there should be options to buy inleo premium subscription with other cryptos and not just HBD.
Yea, the referral is about onboarding, making them engage and retaining them.
the challenge is accepted.
Best referral system to encourage onboarding and retention of new users.
Best way to encourage and support new users.
There won't be a ceiling to sell our featured filled platform 🥳🥳
Wait for the time when millions of people rush into crypto again.
#inleo will create its own Web3 influencers 😎
I think sweetssj made that much on steem in 2017
Question
How can one withdraw or have access to referral rewards?
woaaahhh new referral system is solid! I love this. I’m gonna share shorts with a classmate who shares retro toys and 80s metal on fb, he showed some interest but got confused quickly
🦁
Wow. If threads referral works then I am good to go 🥳
with the updates and topics from @leogrowth post daily,
Long form posts are being encouraged and supported fully
Question
Would or can premium users upload shorts greater than a minute long?
Notifications for Re-threads would be cool... A better one is similar to X's Quote Retweets lists!
OnlyTasksWill Premium eventually include a special subscription to @taskmaster4450le's private poledancing videos?
Another layer to premium...have to cough up an extra 10 HBD.
Extra Premium! Layers to the subscriptions can be effective.
Question
Will there be a time when we could boost our threads for views? Or possibly get into the For You feed
!DOOK
Create lots of shorts then start sharing those out. We need to get those in front of people.
I am eaxited to create the leoshorts for the ama, today.
Inleo is different because the pre-version is as good as the premium for InLeo 🥳🥳
yeah that, can you make the free version as shitty as possible, I miss complaining about the platform I’m on for being lame
Already breaking uthe 200 comments milestone!!!
That will help to move us closer to the 125K users.
let premium opt into ads with some kind of benefit. I want to see ads
Yeah, I don't mind seeing them - as I recall, they were non-intrusive
WAIT, YOU NEED 2000 LEO to CLAIM?!!
That's a lot in my opinion...
i love you guys!!!!
Hello Jongo!
greetings!
love you too jongo!
Proposition: Premium subscribers get slightly higher referral rewards than non-Premium users
Who else noticed that uploading shorts is now easier, simple and fast.
add approval... cool
crushed 300 comments 💪🏼🦁👍🏼
Need 600
💪🏽😎👍🏽
Question
Will anyone be on the "quality assurance" on the pool system for ad approval?
Question
Who would be the ones to checkmate the approval of ads, all of us or a panel would be established?
Having active users and contents on the ecosystem will attract more ads and companies to use our platform for their products management and marketing
Question
Will our ads be discriminatory?
With all these things khal is explaining about ads I think it's much more bigger both in form than what we see literally. Ads approval seriously, that's cool.
How would you invoice the advertisers? A company needs invoice. And many of them cannot pay in crypto.
InLEO would be a great publisher of ads, let's build the momentum by having many users in here.
Love to hear all this
Hence we are back to page views, something we discussed for more than a year.
Page views is crucial.
Truly, every platform have their Ad manager that administer ads and it's management.
Soon LeoAds will improve too
Ad revenue we need it
sounds like very nice people though - not
Ad revenue and streams will be launched and live from Sept 15th.
Looking for more money from the traffic
With InLEO having many users and engagers, companies would want to have their ads run in here.
Will the ads appear as threads? If so, how will they appear on long-form content?
i think he meant ad discounts …
https://inleo.io/threads/view/guurry123/re-khaleelkazi-2bwzwx5dw
yup
This has been going on so far. So create more shorts and get rewarded
https://inleo.io/threads/view/vickvan/re-khaleelkazi-7oajv7bi
Taking the idea from Facebook is really smart decision... Their ads may be a bit annoying, but they're *perfect from balance perspective.
Hmm...that sounds good.
Maybe
Encouraging shorts with upvotes and having their curators active and working would be a great way to make more people upload shorts.
Do people get that on YouTube or TikTok?
Why is everything based upon votes on here. That is the cancer on Hive.
LOL. Oh, Task your comments like this one makes me laugh.
It feels like some people still don't understand that Hive is not like other social media platforms.
It isnt and it is.
People seem to think that Hive is only for rewards. Sadly everyone, even the team, talks only about that.
A huge part isn't.
Well, they don't yet understand that Hive is much more than just the rewards. We still talk about the rewards because that is what the people want to hear, only a few with like-mindset would accept to build without putting the rewards as the first priority. Hive extends far beyond its immediate financial gains.
Very true. And they do not realize that it is about having ownership stake in what value can be built.
LOLZ
September 15th already? this year? 👀👍🏽
September will be more exciting with new add dashboard
The only thing that gives me deference about this is that InLeo links stopped appearing on Google searches after Adsense was removed. I was keeping track of this for certain links.
Losing visibility on Google can be rather painful.
Lets build it
In house ad manager, that's my first time coming across to that, sha its Norma we learn everyday.
That was so bad
Build our own ad network!!!!
There's a lot of potential for LEOADS and LEOAI.... Speaking of....
Wen LeoAI?!!!
Understanding ads and it's revenue yielding is quite simple actually and we can't wait to see it functional here.
Wow. We need to get to work if that's the case.
https://inleo.io/threads/view/ahmadmanga/re-khaleelkazi-2emgmdp5h
It's getting late here. I have to get dinner. Great Space, LEO Team. I learned something. Till tomorrow. Bye 🥳🥳🥳
Bye dear, see ya later.
Enjoy your dinner Queen !DOOK.
Since we now have shorts as a feature maybe we would have a feature here on INLEO that makes us connect to a meeting here rather than X or YouTube.
Hello~
https://inleo.io/threads/view/guurry123/re-khaleelkazi-37ayvkrwk
hello all
I am late but guess not much
opt-in opt-out for #leoads on #premium sounds great
I have gotten more interested in shorts than normal threads nowadays, maybe am addicted.
and why the heck isn‘t $HIVE rising back up above $0.2 at least?
What's @khaleelkazi garage look like?
Oh just got here... late am I?
Yeah, but you can listen to the recording.
I always do.
That's good.
the experiments are good
The holy grail is entertainment!!!
Fact!
People wants to be entertained, not educated.
Ads should have best ways to sell their products.
This will be very interesting and fun too
I think HBD would be the best option, it's consistent!
https://inleo.io/threads/view/godfish/re-khaleelkazi-202493t192535764z
The mandatory …
Wen $LEO Moon? 🚀🌕👍🏽
keep experiments and bring more value to the platform
They could be scamming ads you know.
https://inleo.io/threads/view/sabrinah/re-khaleelkazi-2ifggkeuv
That's why I laughed 😂
!DOOK
Lol. Now imagine INLEO filled with scam ads... that would be a virus attack, lol.
shit! I got distracted by a feral woman. I will have to go back and listen on X
InLEO gets more interesting with new features rolled out.
Look behind you #threeheaded #ad

If it’s super cheap in the beginning I will run an ad for my book
Nice one, I'm working on something valuable as well.

Many earning objectives are just waiting for InLEO to grow it's user base. Lets all make it happen guys.
I think he meant discount on ads for yearly premium users.
Eat or get eaten
is it bad to receive cash? That’s new money into the ecosystem
It's true. We need to target a demographics
Is it possible to play shorts in a loop? Mine stop after the first play. Thank you!
its 400 now
Shorts keep getting me entertained, I do actually watch shorts.
Are there some Shorts stats? Like how many videos are watched per day, week, month? Which are the most viewed and so?
@taskmaster4450le
shorts are shorts let it be short
Will there be LeoAI first or OnlyLeos first?
more boost to the platform
#buyback #buyback #buyback

I am open to suggestions.

More people coming in for ads published more earnings, that's cool.
its new boost to the platform
another #gear in the #flywheel
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
We all await for ads, it's gonna be interesting though, most especially the earning aspect of it.
Nifty‘s got feet to sell! 👉🏽🤪👈🏽

why can’t we set our own options for onlyleos?
How would you pay these five bucks? In HBD? Leo? Hive? Any of them?
Wow 99% that's way more than I thought it would be.... I'm pretty sure it's 50% on Twitch!!!!
Could there be a way to add stickers and words to our shorts right in inleo one day
This is going to be an amazing experience
$LEO is at super discount price certainly a good time to buy
Finally, I see comments
So many lost so far in my portfolio, crypto should just change its direction.
waiting for the winter to go
Macro is still an effective factor
on hive-engine it $0.0265675
We just went stop seeing reds let all be green.
I need someone to blame if I bought $LEO and it continued to drop in the near future!! Any volunteer?
me
you can blame me
DONE!!! You're to Blame if this goes south!!!!!!!! @simplegame
crypto will always be crypto, without patience it's all gone.
Sale $LEO
khal is doing he crypto prayers like right now #longtime
August was good and September will be more awesome
Question
Will LeoAds offer any built-in tools or templates to help creators design and create ads more easily?
(I believe less and less in $HIVE's price long-term every day... There's just too much sell pressure on it, and it seems like it'll never dissipate!!!!!*
more power to the platform
I take the sell of lol. #michaelsaylor is waiting for it
We are just hoping for a good consolidation
Maybe soonest the market will change.
Sharing of InLEO link is gonna get new users flooded this place. Lets go.
Lets patiently wait, maybe khal has forgotten, lolz.
khal need to do something about that hall
why not give discount to year premium subscribers ?
I bet we start while I grab a coffee

I signed up thru InLeo, but Hive RCs did limit me. Costs 17pts per post/comment/thread. That's 5.88 posts, then you are out for 5 days editing profile costs too
You have 95.69% RCs available
I don't see any limitations on your account. If you come across a limitation, screenshot it and tag me
Thanks, I have plenty of HP now, but it was an issue and am just thinking of newbies, because of my experience. I didn't know about your new system, but this account is newer than that system, I believe and I had issues with RCs
we’ll start a few mins late. 12:10 because of a scheduling conflict

It's a premium subscription, you can buy monthly or a yearly one by clicking to the subscription or clicking on the premium icon.
Almost time
Awesome, now we need to find ways to get them to increase their engagement with everyone, get the Community to come together, find ways of retaining new users and help getting others involved. #buildingcommunity

Lolz, we are patiently waiting though maybe a couple of minutes from now.

The #referralprogram took off with a bang then fizzled. Are there plans to try and to hype that up more to make sure the momentum keeps going?

This #threadcast will significantly turn the #markets $LEO $HIVE $BTC $ETH $XMR $RUNE
With the coming through of the referral program and a new engagement feature called shorts, the number of monthly active users significantly increase..
We have a lot of shorts this month. I enjoy viewing them and engaging with the authors.
Hopefully the number of premium users increase too adding up to the more reason why engagement proceedings to increase.
have started yet!?
InLEO interface is becoming more interesting and many people are finding it more interesting because of the features constantly been added.
I am excited about the LeoAds platform. It means more revenue influenced project underway 🥳
Can see nor hear anything
LFG 💪🏼🦁👍🏼
More features mean more activities which equals more views. Soon, we will be able to monetize views 🦁
The views are going to require a recommend engine.
Where are those Lions?
@taskmaster4450le I thought that's what the FOR YOU does? Am I wrong?
https://inleo.io/threads/view/taskmaster4450le/re-sabrinah-dveqevzv
It does but it is pretty basic. The same is in operation at the end of posts, a thread is suggested.
However, we need threads to have the recommend engine and the shorts to have it too.
It should use LeoAI to drive that.
https://inleo.io/threads/view/taskmaster4450le/re-leothreads-fhpnfcuf
That's how it looks when you're the first one in Space ;)
Hitting that #f5 so #hard
I have received a prompt from X maybe khal is setting things up.
patiencedly waiting on #youtube stream to come up
There is a huge difference between an algorithmic recommend engine and one driven by #ai.
Can't hear anything on X yet.

Hello InLeo World
Glad you made it
What the heck is that?
Me saying Hello. What does it look like?
Happy to be here. Where are my friends @beauty197 @empressjay @ngobaby
Hello Fren!
Welcome to the show
We are here, let's go
We start 🔜 grabbing ☕
See i grab a coffee and @khaleelhaazi made it
Adding the link is really cool. It will make more users join.
Not only that peopled are compelled to onboard but also engage and earn.
Questions
Will our threads also have those referral cookies attached or it's just blog posts for now?
I see the new feature on referrals a win-win because both the referer and referee earns at same time.
What was the total for August?
https://inleo.io/threads/view/taskmaster4450le/re-khaleelkazi-2jp3wesxd
Get the referrals running, with this we are gonna hit a new level.
with leoAds, Inleo is the most thriving ecosystem with robust economic plan to boost the worth and earnings.
Important question right here! If this is implemented, does the original author receive rewards for the link, or does the person who posted the link externally receive rewards (and how would this be tracked)?
https://inleo.io/threads/view/selfhelp4trolls/re-khaleelkazi-2rcmcavfh
It's true we are going to have different ways to earn referral rewards.
Incentives are good way to bring more people to Inleo.
I spent 2 years trying to solve the issue of posts becoming irrelevant after 7 days with the dead post initiative. You finally solved the problem 4 years later 🔥
Yes that's true, more ways to earn khal.
That's true, the referral program is a stream of income that could bring in hundreds of dollars monthly.
Question
From where do the Referral rewards come from? From the Premium payments? From the rewards pool? From your own pocket?!!
LeoAI is gonna be a great turning around to premium subscription.
I think millions of people rushing into crypto this time is going to be completely about hyperinflation and state control in certain places. We should put some resources into attracting people from those countries.
Are the new MAUs mainly from Hive (existing accounts) or are they new registrations?
What's the retention rate of referred users compared to other newbies?
Why did they pay that bad? For the demographics of the viewers?
QUESTION: Will that include Boosted Content?
Wow! The LeoAds system will be launched 15th September, nice.
decentralize is the main moto
Question
Can't we have a system whereby the ads that are rejected elsewhere are approved here? Lol
I think this ad stuff is a whole topic of itself worthy to be discussed alone as an Ama topic.
Reasons for denying ads will be good... Hope this doesn't get abused.
that whole ad thing sounds almost too good to be true!
Humans gonna human
Experiments will be awesome and create value to the platform
So, would I see any NSFW ad in the process of approving/denying them? I don't want that!!!!
What's the budget for promoting LeoAds among potential advertisers?
Lolz, humans gonna be humans.
Stake weighted he said! Keep staking that LEO 🦁🦁
So having a lot of Leo power determines your say about ads? Wow, jus wow.
Inleo is truly community driven and highly democratic.
Web3 is truly decentralized platform and process.
$LEO gonna #vote their #revenue
Will the voting for ad approval be on chain?
Khal suggested it would be through polls
Okay thanks. I missed that one.
I am asking for add discount
Yea, tagging in the demographic, wow.
shorts made the platform more entertaining
*Ouch!!!!!!
https://inleo.io/threads/view/guurry123/re-khaleelkazi-2fz2mjomx
August was a good month for the community as more users got onboard. Saw lots of them.
will break previous records surely
Regardless of the losses, small gains am getting from InLEO is making me not to think much more about how the market is.
If you have the chance, burn it all done LOLZ
The consolidation should come faster.
#dao needs more $HIVE
more value to the platform mean value of token will increase
#chainchatter wu p wup wupwb
are we getting close?
Chain chatter tomorrow, let's wait.
Thanks for the show. See you around!
Thanks guys, have a good one
Great show, thanks guys.
Thanks for coming around guys.
thanks guys
Chain Chatter tomorrow? Hope I be there!
Cheers guys!
I was late but still it was amazing to listen to you guys
Thanks for that guys ✌️

Good Morning Khal.
Yes MAU is making upward revision, that's the best thing to take note of.
This is excellent news. We must continue to improve and grow. 🌟
Congratulations👏

LeoAI needs to be a priority. Too much going on to delay on this one.
That feeling when you get here late and still be on time.
Welcome everyone!!!
Great to know we're on a trend to break the record from last month...
I'm not too happy about the prices of $LEO and $HIVE to be honest. Though I believe that if all the promises are delivered on, $LEO (at least) will sky rocket by next year.~
Oops, just realized this is not the threadcast's post. !LOLZ
My investments have given a very good return on hive, whether with posts or dividends, every week that passes I grow a little more! #cent #hive
buying some more QUST items today for my account.
The large delegation will be ending very very soon.
I will be doing some FIAT buys to build us back up.
You can support us by buying QUST items or just upvoting our content
I will add a few to my stack.
awesome spread the word
cool you got that delegation.
I’ll keep upvoting and I’ll buy some more items as I get some more HBD. Been moving most my funds to cacao and leo to pool.
I’m still sold on the leodex getting more traffic. It could help us a lot.
agreed. LeoDex can be huge for us.
Notice that SPL DAO used binance instead of LeoDex.
yeah that’s too bad. Sure would have liked at least of portion of that to flow through Leo dex.
Love that they are buying hive. Don’t love the attitude. Should have had that hive the whole time.
100 percent.
If they had been buying that Hive all along. I think they would be considered part of the community, but doing it now to try and secure funding from the DHF is my issue.
Wen #pepe is between photographers and shorts #lolz
Pepe is moving forward 🥳

bout to turn up with some jellyfish #memes

In order to get to 3k #threads, I need some serious #threading #multitasking
Investors who adopt a long-term strategy and capitalize on the dips, inevitably secure their portfolio for future gains, regardless of current volatility and price action. I remember when BTC hit $3K in 2018, TradFi “geniuses” said it would take at least a decade to regain its all-time high of $20K. Well, within three years, it more than tripled its all-time high. #BTC #Investing #Finance #Crypto https://img.inleo.io/DQmWsZSe58B4ookQqqmCn2AN3tf1zoeNyXJXpFfD4u8AsVK/YouTube%20Channel%20Art%20(33).jpg
Jannik Sinner should be taking the US open this year. If he wins his quarter final match it’s a pretty easy road to win it all. #tennis #sports
make your next trade on LeoDex!
It makes the world a happier place.
2 Americans in the us open quarter finals. Been a bit since that happened. #tennis #sports

June 90K
July 103.9K
August 104.9K
We aim to hit 125K for the month of September.
good growth. At first I thought this was just you. 🤣
People are starting to get a bit more active.
love to see it! Records will be set this month.
We have to keep pushing it higher.
Over the next couple months, we will see how the trend goes. Shorts opens up a door for a lot more.
I played a little PVP tournament in Crypto Shots today. My aim sucks but I won some $Hive. It was fun playing with @caspermoeller89 & @zillionz
Thanks guys!
Glad you enjoyed it despite the terrible aim 😉
Some practice and you will know your way around the stages too 😆
The terrible aim is my signature in all games. I was never really good in these games. 😂
I still think you'll become good if you keep playing 😄👏🏼
That is the part I don't believe. I played Fortnite, H1Z1, Apex and others and I'm bad in all these.

The Splinterlands DAO is buying a ton of $HIVE
That is one way to make sure your DHF stays funded. That being said, do we know why they are buying so much Hive?
yes they are.
and bragging about it that with all this Hive they get as much money from the DHF as they want and no one can stop them.
And converting it later to $HBD and ride down in the #sunset
We’ll start at 12:10 today!

It would be great if INLEO processed votes a little faster, because there is a dilemma about re-voting when I don't see a red-painted heart.
Use the feedback tag in your thread if you want it to be seen by Khal.
Of course, if it will be systematic, but for now, it works fine, then. as it is today, it is annoying :) !BEER
