    Defluenced Ep004 - Platform Review:Hive

    Today we do our first platform review and it is what we consider to be the best Cryptosocial platform currently available.

    Description from Hive.io:

    Hive is an innovative and forward-looking decentralized blockchain and ecosystem, designed to scale with widespread adoption of the currency and platforms in mind. By combining the lightning-fast processing times and fee-less transactions, Hive is positioned to become one of the leading Web3 blockchains used by people around the world.

    What I like about Hive

    Allen:

    1. Decentralization of access. Different interfaces for publishing. Hive.blog, ecency, Leo Finance
    2. More than 100 dapps. There are games, social applications, NFTs, decentralized finance, block explorers and other tools, sports and video apps.
    3. Hive also has a robust Hive Engine where users can create their own tokens and exchange tokens. These add a lot of value and utility to Hive.
    4. I also like that you can stake your Hive and save your HBD. 20% APR on HBD savings.
    5. Users also vote on witnesses and proposals. Through the Hive fund, proposals that get winning votes can be funded and executed.

      6. Unkle Bonehead:

      1. Also the decentralization. Most if not all dapps are using IPFS for image and video hosting.
      2. Also the plethora of dapps of all kinds
      3. Immutability. You can self host one of several frontends or develop your own.
      4. You can purchase NFT’s and services with Hive. Including web hosting through Privex.
      5. The people. Hive is social media and the vast majority of people using it are real  people who engage with others. Not a bunch of bots just trying to make quick money.
      6. A content creators dream ecosystem

      7. Ep003 What is Decentralization and Why is it Needed - Setting SomeGoals

        In this episode Allan and I talk about what decentralization means to us. What we think it should be and how it empowers the individual.

        We also talk about these news stories.

      8. Ep002 Why Cryptosocial Networks are Needed - Setting Some Goals

        In this episode we are going to go over the criteria and expectations that we think should be included in a Cryptosocial media platform. What we think you should look for in a social media home.

        The Criteria:
        1. Is it decentralized?
          • How is it decentralized? Blockchain or federated?
          • Can you “trust” the platform to be there or can it disappear? This is the problem I (UB) have with the Fediverse. Most people cant self host so therefore they must put their trust in someone else to maintain an instance. Which means if that person runs out of money that instance can be shutdown without notification to the users of it.

            • 3. Can it delete, ban or block you from access to your account?

            4. If it’s a blockchain can you power down/unstake, convert and/or withdraw your crypto you earned on it?

            5. How vibrant is the ecosystem that is being built around it? Is there more than one frontend to it?

            6. How easy is it to get on board? Does it require any kind of KYC?

            7. How is the platform funded? Venture capital? Private funding? Who is paying for the infrastructure?

            8. Is there a company behind the blockchain? (This is important to me UB) I am not a fan of a company funded blockchain because that typically means they hold the lion's share of the crypto and most likely fold up and move on if there isn’t a decent ROI.

            9. Do the witnesses, founders, and other power brokers earn rewards and follow the same rules as everyone else or do they have a different set of rules for themselves?

          • Ep 001 An Interview With Us

            People get banned from social media. Because they dont tow the line and big tech answers to no one. They are in control. Whether it’s left or right. If the platform has a TOS that states they can delete your account. Then you should expect it to happen at any time for any reason. Those kinds of terms means you are only ok with the current operators of the service. Until you do or say something that reflects bad on their real customers, the advertisers. Because you know they cant sell bad product (you)  to their customers.
