I haven't even minted an NFT. Part of the reason is because I look at the business model and feel it's old fashioned/outdated. Consumers going back to throwing that money away on entertainment and supporting their favs. The way content is created and consumed has changed. We don't wait years between albums now. We got fresh shit coming in weekly, sometimes daily. So that requires a new support system. You're one of the rare few who can kinda see what I see in that regard.
I understand and respect the fact all play some sort of pivotal role in this. Of course it's unwise to alienate the customers.
LOL. I've become a bit alienated. Not interested much in crypto anymore, but absolutely adore this project here. But not everything, like most people.
My content is a product found on Hive. Those NFT's; products. Your SPK network; product on Hive. All these second layer tokens are products found on Hive. And so on. I like how this list is getting long, offering more and more to potential consumers/investors of Hive. Meaning at some point attracting new money in the door should be a given.
A lot of confusion though. Holding all this Hive, making sacrifices, for years. I see you have more but we both know the feeling of sacrifice remains the same, regardless. It is, what it is. I'll admit your project with all the tokens and tokenomics confused the living fuck out of me to the point where I nearly lost interest. Other projects requiring I own tokens I've not even heard of in order receive an airdrop to be able to support a community I would have been interested in, making it impossible for me to support it, unless I sell HIVE to buy something else that is literally the same thing, but a different name. Then I have other tokens in my wallet and I don't even know how the fuck they got there or what they're for. And one human, in a day, with all these different little tokens and communities; it's impossible to support them all and get a reasonable amount in return, unless I delegate it away to a curation bot of sorts, meaning that community just lost a customer yet the customer still earns benefits.
So when we're done fiddling with knobs and twisting dials, again, let's sit down and try to sort this shit out, for the consumer/investor. That hackmd link up there. Is that a Hive product? Been here nearly five years and don't have the first clue about what's what anymore. Wrote this post last year for a reason. The problem I tried to highlight has only gotten far worse since then. It's now all turning into a consumer's nightmare and that will never sit well with me.
Ya, that post of yours was a home run. I remember when I first read it. It sparked the idea to fork a browser and have a Hive browser with all apps accessible on some right hand menu, as you said in your post. To create a synergy, a home, a entry point that leads people down various rabbit trails.
The SPK Network will bring a lot of cool back end stuff to Hive, oracles, cross chain decentralised gateways, just cool stuff. But what's cool stuff without connecting it all together. It's like having a cool looking puzzle piece that's separated from the rest.
I'll try and build something cool that displays all you can do on Hive. We have some many unknown projects that may or may not be awesome. Such a waste if we dont curate them
See, I'm not a developer but I'm creative and if I had chosen that path earlier on in life, I'd be able to offer more in that department, rather than just ideas and concepts. But I reveal my thoughts, even though they can be scattered at times, because I feel that's being a team player. So if I was developing an app or something/anything, I'd include code that plugs in somehow to popular front ends, rather than making a new one entirely to serve one purpose. Then whoever is calling the shots for whichever front end could review the product or whatever, add it to this section of their front end that is easily accessible and right under the noses of folks browsing around. Then they don't need to focus on creating awareness within the community or suffering from being a great project that somehow flew under the radar.
Still, your take on it would work. But then what if that particular front end/project suffers the same problem. It's off to the side and away from the social setting many seem to frequent. As a consumer of video content on Hive from time to time for instance, I need to tell you I've only visited the official 3speak site maybe five times in my entire life. If I want to browse content found in specific tribes, I simply click the tags commonly used, then browse on PeakD. And this isn't out of laziness, it's because it's simple and convenient.
So if you do work on that project that attempts to sort things out I'd suggest making damn sure there's a massive button that one can't miss sitting nicely at the top or side or somewhere in a place like PeakD, Hive.blog, whatever. It could come standard with the tribe sites as well. Damn near everything should have that button, somewhere, obvious. All it really is a simple link leading to more links and back.
Man. I talk too much and I apologize for being all off topic here while the community is busy trying wrap their heads around some new concepts. I'm 99% sure I suggested dispersing fees in this fashion at some point in the past, you saw it, and your response was something about me playing 4D chess, but at the same time, it's possible I'm blending a few memories and that never happened. Just seems so damn familiar like I been here before.
