Back in the bull market, one of the many SoFi apps that was introduced was Noise.Cash. This was a kind of twitter-like social media platform that was backed with a pool of Bitcoin Cash, doled out to users who got or gave Likes and other basic social media activity. It was fun and I found out about many of the games I still play today through Noise.Cash users, though not all of those games have turned out to be wise financial investments haha!
Noise.Cash went through several iterations and then shut down. There was speculation that the original pool of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) had run out, or the founders had moved on to other projects. The original aim seemed to have been to build knowledge of and use cases for BCH, and at least with me it succeeded brilliantly! I really came to like BCH and it was the coin I used most often for moving assets around because it is FAST and it is CHEAP to use. As with any other fast and cheap coin, devs have been working on DeFi applications through the smart contracts extension of SmartBCH. This is not my area of expertise, but if you have used BSC, SOL, or MATIC DeFi, it felt more or less the same to me.
When I was using Noise.Cash, I would get regular microtransactions of BCH, which I - being the genius that I am - would send to Celsius so that I could earn interest on it until I was a Kajillionnaire. Of course, Celsius turns out not to have been a good place to send it at all, and a good chunk of my overall crypto "wealth" is locked up while Celsius stumbles through a depressing bankruptcy.
However, not only is Noise back in a different form, but it is also easy to have any BCH you might gain there automatically deposited to your Hive-Engine Wallet (go to Deposit, dropdown to Swap.BCH, copy address, paste as wallet in Noise). That is so cool! I love any project that helps me build my Hive Wallet.
It is early days for the new Noise app, but it has a nice, clean look and it pretty easy to post to. There is a twist of course. To defend against spam and general dreck, there are two twists, actually.
First, you need an invite to join Noise. Here is my referral if you are interested: https://noise.app/invite/o5p9yxuy
Second, you can like and follow anyone you want, but in order to comment, they need to follow you back. I think that happens when Noise users see you are there to share consistently. If you sign up with my referral and follow me, I will follow you back so that we can comment on each other's posts. Of course, you can find other referral links if you prefer and I will probably follow you back anyway :)
Just remember to make sure to put this -->
In this -->
Thanks for reading, maybe I will see you over on Noise!
I just created an account a few days ago, and am still getting my bearing and seeing how it works. I added my SWAP.BCH address as soon as I learned about it. Feel free to add me if you'd like, and I'll do the same. My username is the same. I love that what I do there can benefit me here on Hive!
All right I am on the lookout for you!
I think it gets better when you have honed in on your interests and have a big enough followership to be able to interact a bit. I'm not there at all yet but it was pretty fun in the previous incarnation, kind of like LEO threads but a bit easier to navigate
Marvelous, and ditto! I'm still getting used to how mutual following works, as I can't actually see who is following me other than through being able to comment on people's posts. I also have no idea how or when the monitization of engagement kicks in, but I'll just keep learning and growing there to see what's possible! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
Me neither! I have no idea even if anyone is following me haha
I also have not found a way to search for users. Maybe if you find me on my profile page you can follow me. Then I will let you know if I get a notification or anything, or maybe you can message? Or, if this works, you could send me yourprofile, too.
Here's mine https://noise.app/PopPopPrego
Exactly, LOL! The link you sent to your profile worked, and I followed you! Here's mine:

Great post! There is definitely a good synergy between Noise.app and Hive.
Hope we can get more noisers to Hive and hivians to Noise! 🙂
Thanks! We'll keep trying! :)
Yes! My sentiments exactly! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
This is interesting.
I will check it out.
I hope you enjoy it - it is pretty slow to start off with, but lots of Hivers over there, so hopefully you find out about cool opportunities. I think the best way I discovered to find specific people to follow (rather than scrolling through Explore) is to enter their username in the profile link if you have it. For example, you can follow me with this link
https://noise.app/PopPopPrego
and if you send me yours I will follow you back
Okay
I recently joined noise app too.
Still trying to understand how things work there.
I will try and follow you.
I think is more fun when you follow people and they follow you back.
With that you can freely like and comment on their post.
What I am still not clear on is the monitization aspect, because that is where the motivation comes.
I like it that a lot of people I know from hive are there.
Haha, I have all these same questions, still! :)
I am also not clear on monetization, I have gotten 1 transaction so far for .01 USD, but I have seen posts where others are getting more. It definitely does not seem as lucrative as the early days of the original noise.cash tho

Alright.
I just have to loosen up, since I wasn't the only one having the confusion.
I think it is an excellent application, I like this interface better than the previous one, let's see how it turns out, thanks for your post.
!BEER
I'll look for you and follow you if that hasn't happened alreadyThanks! Is your username the same on Noise as here? The only way I have found to search for people is to put their username in the profile address, like this https://noise.app/PopPopPrego
Like whaaat? -You are back there, too?!
Followed! As I used your invite link you were forced to follow me, too. haha! ;)
!PIZZA !PGM
Haha, getting the old gang back together again!
I have no idea if I was forced to follow you, because i saw you on explore and clicked follow. I think the tutorial for noise is pretty classic - no one has any idea again haha! :)
!PIZZA
!PGM
yes even the transition from old to new platform was not really communicated...
wait, they gave a statement on the new platform afterwards! really helpful for the users stuck on the old one ;)
!PIZZA think !PGM already empty for me
Haha, guess I don't know how to do gifs
I have some !CTP left I think?
like !MEME this one? -otherwise I am lost, too
very beautiful whatever that is haha
okay, that was really ... whatever
usually meme.bot would provide a !MEME meme ... not something coming from continental europe

This is lovely. I'll hop in and see how it goes. Thanks for sharing.
Good luck I hope you find followers and have fun!
(and make some BCH :)
Yes, I will. Thank you so much.
Thanks for sharing i connected it to my blocktrades so it gets turned right into Hive for me when it hits my wallet it is working out well.
@pregosauce
@tydynrain nominated you for a prize in the draw
!ALIVE
Thanks for pointing out blocktrades, too. Works great! Just in case others read this, you need to verify identity on blocktrades now I think.
Thanks @tydynrain !
You are welcome and yes that is right you have to verify now before you can trade with them now
!ALIVE
You got it brother, my pleasure! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
Thank you again so much, Ben! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
I joined Noise.app some weeks ago and I've been liking it there. My username is Mercury, you can follow me if you want😁
Awesome! The best way I have seen to find people over there is for them to paste their profile URLs. I will look for you under Mercury. If you want, you can follow me here:
https://noise.app/PopPopPrego
I just followed back. Thanks 😊
https://noise.app/Yoieuqudniram
That's my link in noise.App. See you there
Awesome, I followed you. Here's mine
https://noise.app/PopPopPrego
Love this new angle about noise-hive you just showed, never explored it before.
Here is my referral link, @McKane https://noise.app/invite/034zjzk5
Couldn't follow you because the referral link has been used. Share a new one.
yet another mystery about the noise operations revealed. We can only invite one person? So odd. I will try to find you over in Noise. you can find me at https://noise.app/poppopprego
Normally, yes, the link is only eligible for one invite. However, you can tweak it to invite around 25 people or so with the same link. It's on the link page. The one I lasted was set to invite 15 people.
Now following you.
thanks for the tip! noise has always been unique haha :)
I've been enjoying noise.app, I just have to remember to log in, i'm always glad I did.
Ain't that always the way...if it can get into the daily routine, no problem, but if it's extra I always forget :)
I'll look for you over there!
Wow, this is nice and another opportunity to diversify really
