HIVE NEWS @ 23 May 2020 - Rebooting the News

avatar
(Edited)

The News is back.

Corona related issues have been an over distraction for the past couple of months. Now with some degree of normality returning, it's time to post again.

This first reboot issue will be a little catch-up, and a little mind the gaps, but a full service should be returning in two or three days.

This edition includes news and updates about Spinterlands, Upbit Exchange, D.Buzz, HiveOnboard, LeoPedia.io, Cryptobrewmaster, BUILDTEAM and the Block Party.



HIVE NEWS aims to primarily cover news about new developments and activities on the Hive blockchain that might interest and attract people to Hive.

The developments on another blocktrain currently affecting the funds of 60+ Hivians will not therefore be reported here in depth. They have already been covered at great length by others.

Reference to recent posts by @apshamilton will provide ample information for anyone wanting to know more about the situation.



1. Splinterlands moving to Hive on 1 June

Due to recent changes on Steem, @splinterlands have announced that they will be moving the entire operation of the game to Hive on 1 June.

There should be no disruptions for players...



2. Upbit Exchange lists HIVE and HBD

@jrcornel reports that HIVE and HBD are now being listed on the Upbit exchange with BTC trading pairs...

@therealwolf has done some work to list all the exchanges that list Hive or HBD on the hive.io website...



3. D.Buzz takes off

D.Buzz, a new microblogging platform for Hive that links with Twitter, has now launched.

The development of @dbuzz is led by @nathansenn, and the project is coordinated by @chrisrice...

There have been some concerns that D.Buzz might produce large amounts of 'spam' postings on Hive. The @dbuzz team have addressed those concerns in this post...



4. Hiveonboarding features for Developers

The @hiveonboard team has posted an update on the onboarding features it offers to dApp developers...

@hiveonboard, run by @roomservice, recently launched their free HIVE account creation service - hiveonboard.com...



5. LeoPedia.io launched

LeoFinance has launched LeoPedia.io as an open-format educational resource "to inform non-crypto and crypto users-alike about the blockchain and cryptocurrency space".

The aim is that LeoPedia.io can provide an onramp to Hive and LeoFinance for the 'crypto-curious'...



6. Cryptobrewmaster launch delayed

The soft launch of the Cryptobrewmaster game has been delayed for another week to allow for further testing...

@cryptobrewmaster has also this week launched a witness.



7. BUILDTEAM moves to Hive-Engine

@buildteam are migrating their BUILDTEAM tokens from Bitshares to Hive-Engine...



8. Block Party Cancelled

Because of the ongoing Covid-19 situation @enginewitty and @thealliance have reluctantly announced that this year's Block Party planned for June has been cancelled...



Decentralized Hive Fund

The Decentralized Hive Fund (DHF) today has a daily funding budget available of approximately 5082 HBD.

There are now 8 proposals receiving funding from the DHF - @anyx (API infrastructure), @justineh (exchange listings & PR), @themarkymark (Global Blacklist API), @netuoso (Vessel Desktop Wallet), @blocktrades (image server cluster), @howo (core blockchain development), @netuoso (Hive chain development), and @good-karma (Hivesigner).

These successful proposals are currently receiving a total of 2305 HBD per day from the SPS...

@oflyhigh's Hive Secondary Airdrop proposal is also above @gtg's return proposal...


@good-karma has submitted a proposal to the DHF to support development work and server costs for the Open Search Engine that is already used on hive.blog, peakd.com and esteem.app. The proposal is requesting a total of 1350 HBD per month...


@howo reports that some that some changes are being added to the forthcoming Hardfork 24 regarding the Decentralized Hive Fund, and the Core Dev Team are canvassing opinions from the community...

Even after all the destruction done by corona, I'm glad that it has given more time for the nature to heal itself as all the human monsters are in lock down and quarantine. I'm glad that the number of population of many animals is increasing. The air and water pollution is decreasing as well. I believe that there should be voluntary lock down throughout the world once a year at least.
I hope everyone around the world is safe with their family. Good luck to everyone who is reading this.
Have a good day !

Nice to see your news roundups again. I particularly appreciate the summaries of the DHF. At the risk of becoming unwieldy, it would also be nice to see those same website stats for PeakD in addition to Hive.blog.

Well, we are still doing our monthly Top 3 contest where we look to ask the Hive community what their Top 3 favourite things are about a specific topic. Always loads of engagement on the entries and HBD prizes always available with quarterly and yearly leagues running on @yourtop3 - next round starts on 1st.

Might be nice to have something else to think about other than all of life's dramas 🙂

Hi Steve, yes plenty to fill the news each day!

The garden is producing well. Just got some leeks and kale for lunch, and I think the lettuces will be ready for tea.

After some necessitated changes in work, life here is sorting out and settling down again here. Hope all going good over your way.

We're starting to get lots of strawberries. I like things that don't need too much work, but I have been weeding them a fair bit.
