This is my Article to Blockpay Lets Businesses Accept 8 Major Cryptos.</p>\n<p>Let's Start...</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://img2.brain3.photobox.com/019159618c328d38e424f14b6494a5da09cf0c04fb1e703f0505960d26fc8d4f6358e59e.jpg\"/></p>\n<p>&nbsp;<a href=\"https://news.bitcoin.com/\"><strong>Bitcoin.com</strong></a> <strong>recently chatted with Christoph Hering of</strong> <a href=\"https://blockpay.ch/\"><strong>Blockpay</strong></a><strong>. Hering is an entrepreneur and the co-founder of</strong> <a href=\"https://news.bitcoin.com/10-exchanges-now-proving-solvency-on-bitshares-blockchain/\"><strong>Bitshares</strong></a> <strong>Munich. He shares with us his vision for Blockpay a new Point of Sale platform that allows merchants to accept a wide variety of cryptocurrencies at zero cost. The system will also have other features such as loyalty points that may entice people to use cryptocurrency for everyday transactions.</strong>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Blockpay: ‘Digital Payments For Free’</h2>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;BlockPay enables merchants to accept one or more digital currencies at&nbsp;zero cost. It’s an easy, fast and&nbsp;cost-efficient Point-of-Sale system that supports all of the most popular digital currencies (like Bitcoin, <a href=\"https://news.bitcoin.com/ethereum-fork-new-classic-coin/\">Ethereum</a>, Dash, Steem, Smartcoins (bitUSD, bitCNY, bitEUR, bitSilver), etc.) plus loyalty points and gift rewards cards. It is solving the security and business risks through modern Blockchain technology and helps businesses around the world to accept these digital payments at zero cost.BlockPay is a great tool for Bitcoin and crypto users too because it gives them the chance to use their desired coins in any store, vending machine, restaurant or another merchant around the world. Wait no more to pay your coffee with crypto fast, cheap and (soon) in total anonymity. BlockPay has already added an extra layer of privacy for Bitcoin users, mixed, crosschain and super fast.</p>\n<p>BlockPay is available as a free Standalone app, or Integrated (ie: Odoo, SAP, etc.) with merchants’ existing Point-of-Sale systems and working globally in 44 languages.BlockPay is uniting all of the Blockchain communities and gives crypto users the unique chance to even use exotic currencies like Dogecoin in their daily life.</p>\n<p><strong>Do you think BlockPay could help streamline cryptocurrencies together with merchant solutions?</strong>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://news.bitcoin.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/QmarKKWS9M9UXdajz8rTZ7R4hbKZJLGtzAd98AoQbbXMEd-300x98.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"98\"/></p>\n<p>&nbsp;BlockPay is the first Point-of-Sale system in the world that supports all of the leading digital currencies in one simple business solution. We are very confident that BlockPay will streamline cryptocurrencies with merchant solutions because we solved most of the merchant’s burning pains like fraud, fees, coin volatility, choosing the right coin, exchanges getting hacked, and chargebacks from the start.</p>\n<ul>\n  <li>BlockPay does not charge fees to the merchant, it´s free. Period;</li>\n  <li>BlockPay solves fraud, chargebacks, rolling reserves, and coin volatility;</li>\n  <li>BlockPay reduces transactions to 3 sec or less, even Bitcoin and altcoins in 3-15 seconds!</li>\n  <li>BlockPay manages multiple cryptocurrencies, and new currencies like DigixDGD are made available to merchants automatically;</li>\n  <li>BlockPay API is being integrated into multiple different Point-of-Sale platforms&nbsp;reaching millions at the OEM level.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>We learned that most merchants do not care if their customer uses Litecoin, Peercoin, Bitcoin or Dash…and they have no time to learn about them either. They just want to get paid fast, efficient and with the lowest fees possible – Simply BlockPay.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>https://youtu.be/bcuVSjR6gkk</p>\n<p>&nbsp;<strong>How does BlockPay support cryptocurrency payments with zero cost?</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;We thought about the best strategy how we could promote a new Blockchain-based Point-of-Sale solution to regular businesses without being the 10th guy asking to integrate. Access to the payment systems is like an open heart operation, complicated and death serious. That is why we decided to offer BlockPay at zero cost to merchants.With this new approach, we have had great success getting the “first foot in the door” and signing up new business partners on a weekly basis. We eliminated all merchant fees and charged a small flat network fee of 0.5% to the consumer instead.That BlockPay fee works like a mining fee that covers software updates, future Integrations and development of more cryptocurrencies with BlockPay. We also work close with our business partners so that they pay it forward and provide specific cash back, special discounts and other bonus plans to digital currency users. Some might think charging the customer is unfair, but how much are you willing to pay so that you can use your favorite coin at McDonalds,<a href=\"https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-block-space-starbucks-coffee/\">Starbucks</a> or Walmart?&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;<strong>How does the platform work with Loyalty Points?</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;BlockPay is connected to the decentralized digital asset exchange Bitshares, which allows us to generate loyalty point systems on the fly. We offer our business partners enterprise grade loyalty systems, for generating, distributing and managing bonus points, gift cards and coupon codes across several platforms.The beautiful thing is that every digital currency user can earn loyalty points when he purchases items at a BlockPay enabled merchant. You buy your groceries in bitcoin, and BlockPay sends you bonus points back, all documented with the BlockPay eReceipts.Together with our BlockPay Ambassadors, we have developed guidelines and learning materials for our business partners, teaching them how to set up their own loyalty points programs, show them how to generate coupon codes and how to offer blockchain based gift cards. Since they are all digital tokens, managed by a Blockchain wallet, all benefits of the Blockchain apply for these points too.In conclusion, BlockPay provides a full-service PoS solution that rewards crypto users to pay digital and give merchants the right tools to reward their most loyal customers for free.</p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;Can you tell our readers about the Echo wallet?</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;Echo is a next generation social messenger, with peer-to-peer encrypted messaging; completely decentralizing all of your messaging, audio/video conversations, and wallet operations through IPFS and the Graphene Blockchain to protect your data and privacy. Echo is a powerful WhatsApp/Wechat and Paypal hybrid that will change the way how we all use digital currencies forever.What is even more exciting about Echo is the marketing strategy. Following the success of Wechat and Steem, Echo will be a powerful social messenger for the non-Blockchain mainstream. We are cutting out all confusing <a href=\"https://news.bitcoin.com/verizon-blockchain-patent/\">Blockchain</a>aspects starting with a fresh new interface, easy payments, and a simple automated Brainkey backup mechanism.With Echo, all private keys are stored locally, and the user has the total control over his funds. Combined with encrypted and decentralized chat messages, Echo is a great tool to protect your privacy and financial freedom.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;What will the pre-ICO entail?</strong>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The public sale began on August 23rd, with a special pre-sale period starting on August 20th. Details and pricing are as follows.</p>\n<ul>\n  <li>An initial 3-day phase of this Pre-ICO will allow OPENPOS token holders to exchange their tokens for BlockPay tokens 1 to 1.20. BitShares Munich held a successful fundraiser in late 2015 for another cryptocurrency (OPENPOS), eventually integrated with Odoo, an open-source POS system used in over 50,000 businesses in Europe and Asia.</li>\n  <li>After this phase, up to 1.4 million BlockPay tokens will be available at .000288 BTC per token (approximately $X at the time of writing).</li>\n  <li>After this, another 3 million BlockPay tokens will be available at .000360 BTC per token (approximately $.X at the time of writing).</li>\n  <li>After this, the price for BlockPay tokens during the official ICO (to be scheduled) will be .0005 BTC per token.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Interested parties can participate at BlockPay.ch or on CCEDK.com after August 23rd.&nbsp;This final price implies a market capitalization of all BlockPay tokens at approximately $30 million.</p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;How will you allocate the crowdfunding funds?</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;We are using most of the funds for further development, marketing, and legal costs. We have finished multiple mobile Wallets, BlockPay “S,” BlockPay for Odoo, and getting ready to launch. The next steps are adding new features, currencies, a public API, a iOS version and much more.The Pre-ICO crowdfunding funds are securing the operation for the next 24 months and allow us to score major business partnerships with leading POS software providers, OEM, and merchants.</p>\n<ol>\n  <li>&nbsp; &nbsp;Launch of BlockPay “S” in Google Play and BlockPay for Odoo</li>\n  <li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Additional BlockPay integrations into leading Point Of Sale systems</li>\n  <li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Development of BlockPay open API</li>\n  <li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Adding more Fiat Gateways, Exchanges and Escrow Services</li>\n  <li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Development and introduction of Stealth transfers</li>\n  <li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Development and launch of ECHO for Android and iOS</li>\n  <li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Development of native iOS BlockPay “S”</li>\n  <li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Adding new features to BlockPay and ECHO</li>\n  <li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Building Digital Payment Infrastructure for the Future</li>\n</ol>\n<p><img src=\"https://news.bitcoin.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/QmdgeVaw9VG1RXbFieQFsb7DqS73gzU3BaAHnRyHnB87wT-640x219.png\" width=\"640\" height=\"219\"/></p>\n<p>&nbsp;<strong>Can you explain how you are working with CCEDK?</strong></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.ccedk.com/\">CCEDK</a> provides great ICO services for Blockchain companies like us. We were looking into all the technical details, marketing strategies, cold storage, etc. and decided that we need an experienced partner for a successful Crowdfunding. CCEDK is the best partner for us since they offer an all-in-one campaign and crowdfunding kit, whatever their needs – including escrow services, fiat gateway, token and asset creation and issuance, distribution, integration, marketing, pre-launch preparation and the ICO itself.In conclusion, BlockPay is delivering all the content, logos and vision, and CCEDK is handling the entire ICO. ICO´s will establish themselves as the new Crowdfunding standards… and if you think about it, raising six figures from a global crowd is completely unheard of for regular startups who sell 20-40% equity for the same deal.<strong>BC: What’s the overall mission with BlockPay?</strong></p>\n<p>BlockPay is now rolling out the digital payment infrastructure of the future. It is our mission to simplify mobile payments by magnitudes, save time with peer-to-peer payments, and reduce or eliminate all fees.Businesses around the world can now open a Blockchain account in 3 seconds or less, install the free app or module, advertise BlockPay and start accepting one or more digital currencies at zero cost. Faster and safer than cash, it’s another path to profits.At BlockPay, our vision is to use digital currencies and assets in our everyday lives. Our business idea supports this vision by offering a wide range of simple and secure tools that allow us to manage our new digital money even simpler than cash. Together we can build a more secure, more private and more efficient financial system for our next generation of digital money.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><br></p>\n</html>",

G.E. promises the Industrial Internet will bring a new wave of digital products, which combines “Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, industrial Big Data analytics, technology, cyber security and automation.” The Industrial Internet, if successful, will expand the IoT astronomically. This, in turn, will further exacerbate the already existing IoT challenges related to frictionless payments, security, reliability, resiliency, and stability.

By combining Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, industrial Big Data analytics, technology, cyber security and automation, it is driving new levels of efficiency and productivity.</p>\n<p>”To succeed in the Industrial Internet, G.E. is now entering the struggle for the software layer supremacy against Microsoft, Google, and IBM. As the <a href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/28/technology/ge-the-124-year-old-software-start-up.html?ref=business\"><em>New York Times</em></a>&nbsp;puts it, “It is the next battlefield as companies fight to develop the dominant software layer that connects the machines.”G.E. executives <a href=\"http://www.ge.com/sites/default/files/GE%20Digital%20Investor%20Meeting%20Transcript_0.pdf\">estimate</a> that the Industrial Internet market will reach $225 billion by the year 2020.</p>\n<p>The number of interconnected devices in the IoT continues to amaze observers. Last year, IDC forecast that by 2020, there will be more than 30 billion interconnected devices. Specifically, <a href=\"http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS25658015\">IDC research</a> estimates that “the Internet of Things money market will grow from $655.8 billion in 2014 to $1.7 trillion in 2020 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.9%.”</p>\n<h2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Internet of Things Challenges</h2>\n<p><img src=\"https://news.bitcoin.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/GE-industrial-3-300x149.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"149\"/></p>\n<p>&nbsp;The IoT already faces daunting challenges. Data management, security, privacy, and reliability are some of the main IoT issues.Indeed, the IoT explosion caught many business organizations unprepared. Most current infrastructures, protocols, and business processes were not conceived to confront the colossal challenges that the IoT presents.For example, the amount of data generated by this vast universe of interconnected devices will be massive, leading some to&nbsp;believe that corporations are not capable of extracting the benefits of IoT data.&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestechcouncil/2016/07/13/what-the-advent-of-iot-means-for-business-infrastructures/#137142ef29ef\">Adam Wray</a>, CEO, Basho Technologies, argues, “Internet of Things (IoT) data has the potential to generate insights that will enable corporations to offer superior products.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;However, most companies do not have the core infrastructure in place to start leveraging IoT data.”The unprecedented amount of data being generated and collected has even prompted the National Security Agency (NSA) to study the evolution of privacy in the IoT context and to publish a report entitled “<a href=\"https://www.nsa.gov/resources/everyone/digital-media-center/publications/the-next-wave/assets/files/TNW-21-2.pdf\">Privacy in the Internet of Things</a>.”Security and privacy IoT challenges also worry technology enterprises.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;According to <a href=\"https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/securing-iot-ground-up/\">Microsoft</a>, the converging of the cyber and the physical worlds makes security, privacy, and compliance challenges unique to businesses worldwide.Resilient and secure IoT infrastructures are crucial in a universe where billions of interconnected devices exchange data and services, unattended, without human intervention. “In this new world, the old thinking of disaster backup and manually executed recovery procedures does not apply,” says <a href=\"http://www.informationweek.com/partner-perspectives/ibm/where-resiliency-and-the-internet-of-things-intersect/a/d-id/1325246\">Michael Puldy</a>, Director of Global Business Continuity Management for Global Technology Services, IBM.</p>\n<h2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Blockchain Can Help the Industrial Internet of Things</h2>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>&nbsp;The challenges confronted by the IoT and now the Industrial Internet highlight the fact that existing approaches to deal with security, privacy, and resiliency issues are becoming obsolete. Consequently, we need <a href=\"https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-blockchain-case-new-reengineering-revolution/\">new ways of doing things</a>. Bitcoin and its powerful blockchain technology can help to implement a dramatic paradigm shift.Granted, Bitcoin’s <a href=\"https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-blocksize-debate-not-begun/\">blockchain challenges</a> are still being addressed.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, it is the strongest blockchain for IoT if we consider its&nbsp;decentralized and trustless nature, making it resilient and always accessible. It can reside in millions of devices or nodes distributed all over the planet. Each of these nodes keeps and maintains the entire blockchain. If one node fails, all the others continue to function, preserving the blockchain.The blockchain is transparent.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;Everybody can see all the transactions registered in the blockchain. Also, alterations in the <a href=\"https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-trusted-immutable-ledger/\">blockchain cannot occur</a> without being detectedBitcoin’s blockchain facilitates the <a href=\"http://www.pwc.com/us/en/technology-forecast/blockchain/digital-business.html\">automation of digital businesses</a> by allowing the execution, without depending on human intervention, of smart contracts. Smart contracts are “computer protocols that facilitate, verify, execute and enforce the terms of a commercial agreement,” as defined by Nick Szabo.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;Moreover, assets and documents can also be digitally expressed as “Smart Assets.”Thanks to its blockchain, <a href=\"http://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestechcouncil/2016/08/18/how-cryptocurrency-and-iot-will-work-together/#21e398ff4faa\">Bitcoin</a> is the ideal cryptocurrency for millions of smart devices performing frictionless financial transactions, such as micropayments, in the IoT universe.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>I hope you like my article to please up-vote it.

The company has revealed&nbsp;that over the course of its first month membership has grown by 1,600%, all the while using its&nbsp;</strong><a href=\"https://news.bitcoin.com/blockchain-stem-raises-4-5-million/\"><strong>blockchain-powered</strong></a> <strong>platform to pay&nbsp;users for posting content.</strong>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Steemit ‘Creating and Curating Good Content’</h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<img src=\"https://news.bitcoin.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/steemit-share-300x157.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"157\"/></p>\n<p>Steemit has seen an enormous amount of registrant’s over the past four weeks. The social media platform&nbsp;enables its user base to get paid in&nbsp;“Steem Power” for posting <a href=\"https://news.bitcoin.com/mediachain-shazam-media-content/\">content</a> and the using the voting mechanisms within the interface.</p>\n<p>The company says membership has doubled in size every single week since its launch and this has increased its market capitalization from $7 million to $17 million USD.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;The platform is powered by an open source blockchain called Steem. Additionally, users paid in the token Steem Power get more voting credentials, and receive half their payments in Steem Dollars, which the team says are worth about one US dollar.</p>\n<p>Steemit says there are currently over one hundred posts valued at $2,000 USD worth of Steem with the top 20 posts having an average payout of a combined $8,500 for posters and voters.The platform is similar to Reddit, and the team has recently announced that it is open sourcing its code for the Steem blockchain and social media interface. The reason they chose to do this is “due to the increased number of entrepreneurs building social media apps integrating with Steemit and the Steem blockchain,”&nbsp;</p>\n<p>said Scott.</p>\n<p>The project was also founded by Dan Larimer, founder of the blockchain-based financial exchange <a href=\"https://news.bitcoin.com/10-exchanges-now-proving-solvency-on-bitshares-blockchain/\">BitShares</a>. Scott says adopters of Steem are connecting various other social attributes to the technology as well.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;Since its launch, some of the most&nbsp;popular posted content have covered&nbsp;<a href=\"https://news.bitcoin.com/cryptocurrency-tech-advance-with-these-three-devices/\">cryptocurrency</a>, politics and technology&nbsp;as the platform has seen a&nbsp;“ten-fold increase” in voting every day.Scott adds that starting&nbsp;July 4, its blockchain will start distribution with 10% of its token supply total. Users of the new social media platform can also purchase Steem Power via the exchange <a href=\"https://blocktrades.us/\">BlockTrades</a> with Bitcoin.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>I hope you like my article.

      "body": "<html>\n<p><img src=\"https://img1.steemit.com/0x0/https://s8.postimg.org/vlf9i3mkl/image.png\" width=\"720\" height=\"576\"/></p>\n<p>&nbsp;Since the early days of the internet, there has been a constant movement of people, from mailing boards to Facebook and Reddit. Eternal September keeps chasing out the best who are then followed by the rest with the process now repeating.Although Facebook is one of the biggest companies on earth, few think it is cool – your mom is on it.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Reddit, itself a product of an exodus from Digg, has brought to the forefront a serious problem, private sector censorship of free speech.The duo of <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-larimer-0a367089\">Daniel Larimer</a> and <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/nedscott\">Ned Scott</a>, the former a techy, the latter from the world of finance, think they have a solution,&nbsp;<a href=\"https://steemit.com/\">Steemit</a>. The blockchain-powered platform is a mixture between medium and reddit where users are paid for voting and posting in a new currency called steem, currently valued at around $0.23 per unit. Steemit users just received the first payout, $1.3 million in total, but can this really work?</p>\n<h2>The incentives of steemit’s design</h2>\n<p>There has been much debate on the use of money to incentivise intrinsic behaviour, such as studying, donations, or healthy activity. The jury is still out with one&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www0.gsb.columbia.edu/mygsb/faculty/research/pubfiles/5133/GneezyMeierRey_JEP.pdf\">study</a> concluding that the effects of monetary incentivization on intrinsically motivated behaviour, basically, depends:&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Distributing the funds</h2>\n<p>The monetary aspects of the platform are somewhat complex. First of all, it all runs and is stored on a blockchain, so it has miners. Second, it uses a mixture of proof of work mining, proof of stake and delegated proof of stake. To make it a bit more fun, it has three currencies.</p>\n<p>The “core” currency is Steem, which is highly inflationary with steem units doubling every year. Many, therefore, convert it to Steem Power (SP) which locks the currency in a stake for two years. Then there is Steem Dollars which aims to be pegged to the US Dollar.There is an even more complex method of distributing the funds which constantly inflate. 90% of the inflated funds are given to SP holders, the other 10% is shared:&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;The 10% is allocated to four groups, “1% block producers, 1% liquidity, 6% authors and 2% curators,” according to Larimer’s estimate. There is no halving, so the currency continues to inflate at 10%, effectively, indefinitely.“It has really gained traction. New users are signing up every day. There is a constantly growing number of active users,” says Larimer with more than 700 active users yesterday and 20,000 pageviews a day.</p>\n<h2>Reddit’s heavy censorship vs. steem’s censorship resistance</h2>\n<p>One attraction, especially in light of reddit’s heavy censorship by both admins and moderators may be steem’s censorship resistance. As all is stored on a blockchain, unless 51% of node operators, miners and stakeholders agree, no content can be removed. That, of course, has two edges.After a terrorist shooting in Orlando,&nbsp;<a href=\"https://cointelegraph.com/news/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3639181/Facebook-Reddit-accused-censorship-pages-discussing-Orlando-carnage-deleted-wake-terrorist-attack.html\">heavy censorship</a> was implemented by reddit moderators, especially r/news which went so far as to remove a post giving information on blood donations.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>This brought the bubbling reddit censorship issue to mainstream attention, but only for just a day with no action taken.Reddit admins have taken a position that moderators can do whatever they wish in their own subreddits. The problem is of course that name domains are hot property as r/news retains a structural advantage over r/news2 due to most newcomers typing the former.</p>\n<p>That opens our great public spaces where we congregate to insidious overt and covert manipulation which may provide entities with powerful political or financial advantage at, perhaps, the expense of the common good.Many, therefore, think that reddit is ripe for disruption as new space seems to have opened to figure out a more equitable way of organizing our public discussions.</p>\n<h2>Is steemit the solution?</h2>\n<p>Whether steemit is the solution is not clear. The way it is currently organized seems to be limited to self-posts, rather than direct link sharing from the title. Moreover, the administrators of the website can, if they wish, remove content or comments, but they would remain on the blockchain and anyone can set up a website to reflect the blockchain just as there are a number of block explorers.</p>\n<p>This may be one way to address the other edge of free speech. Content that is fundamentally in breach of all or almost all values, although it may be on the backbone, stored on the blockchain, would not be displayed on the frontend.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;From the voting algorithm to funding distribution, token market price, monetary incitivization, the use of the blockchain itself, there are many complex interactions, combining an instant market reaction through price, financial carrots and sticks through voting, as well as monetary reward for product creation together with a digital currency element.Whether this will work in its current incarnation remains to be seen, but it is one of the more unique attempts to try and solve the decades long social media problem with the results of the experiment, whether failure or success, undoubtedly closely watched by many.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><br></p>\n</html>",

Scaling Bitcoin has become a hot button issue in the community. This is the process to increase block size from its current form in which the network can only support up to seven transactions per second to process more like Paypal achieves with about 100 transactions per second, and as Visa does with about 4,000 per second.</p>\n<h2>In the wake of the Steemit hack</h2>\n<p>Recently, Steemit was hacked, with about 260 accounts compromised.David Washsman responded to those who claim the hack was intentionally organised by Steemit itself as false.&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Overtaking the DAO</h2>\n<p>With Steemit being touted to be the bridge that has the ability to bring people who have no interest in cryptocurrency into its world, Steem overtook The DAO to be the world’s fifth most valuable cryptocurrency following its 1000% plus growth in the days following Steemit’s first cryptocurrency payout on July 4. &nbsp;After the $1.3 million giveaway, the number of transactions, posts, votes and new users signing up to Steemit’s decentralized Reddit-like platform tripled.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;Steemit is on track to become one of the largest and fastest growing cryptocurrency projects worldwide in less than three months of its inception. As Steem reaches millions of people in the next year, it could possibly choke Bitcoin's capacity if all the people were to use Bitcoin as a gateway to buy in and/or cash out each month.<a href=\"https://steemit.com/@eeks\">Eeks</a>, in a post&nbsp;on Steemit, wrote that Steemit is the killer app Bitcoin has been waiting for to bring fresh and diverse people into Bitcoin and into cryptocurrencies.</p>\n<p>The writer says Bitcoin companies and their products do nothing for people outside the one percent who know and use Bitcoin. He citesPurse.io as the closest thing to a Bitcoin killer app to convince those outside the cryptocurency community but, as yet, hasn’t had much luck. The same applies to open bazaar, Bitcoin gambling and P2P lending sites, who have not provided a reason for those people to care about Bitcoin or a need to have it, except for speculative purposes.In an analogy, the writer concluded, based on available figures, that the new social media site could acquire at least a million Bitcoin active onboard users in a year.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n</html>",

However, complaints from the Steemit’s <a href=\"https://steem.slack.com/archives/account-issues\">Slack chat</a> point to a lack of security features, specifically two-factor authentication, frustrating users.“A lot of chat traffic is going on in the Steemit slack of accounts being hacked,” one Steemit user wrote in a <a href=\"https://steemit.com/proposals/@thebatchman/supposedly-hacked-accounts-on-steemit-time-for-a-new-proposal\">post</a> earlier today. “Maybe It’s time for my newest proposal.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Two factor authentication!

A week ago, the platform had <a href=\"https://news.bitcoin.com/steemit-awards-1-3-m-users/\">announced</a> membership increases of 1600% and users rewarded with $1.3 million dollars through posting popular material.“The community and the blockchain together power a system that gets better and better every day,”</p>\n<p>&nbsp;Scott said at the time.</p>\n<p>I hope you like my article to please up-vote it.Thanks &nbsp;</p>\n<p><br></p>\n</html>",

We’ve been keeping an eye on Steem and the official Steemit user interface of the project for a while, but just about a month ago we actually started getting to know how everything works there. This has happened as one of our editors actually registered and started using the platform, as a result we have published <a href=\"http://cryptomining-blog.com/8168-a-quick-guide-on-how-to-mine-steem-on-windows/\">A Quick Guide on How to Mine Steem on Windows</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;That however was just about it as we have decided to leave our editor for a month to use Steemit and then to write a first-hand experience review of the platform based on his own personal experience using it. Since that month has already passed, it is time for him to share his thoughts and experience with you… and get back to writing more here and not only on Steemit!Do note that that our editor is using a personal account on the Steemit platform! This account is not an official Crypto Mining Blog account, nor it will become such, though if you are already using the platform or want to try it out now,<a href=\"https://steemit.com/@cryptos\"> </a>&nbsp;tips or even some help… just make sure you do that on Steemit and not here.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>We do like to support our authors and editors and this is exactly what we want to do now.You can think of Steemit as an ecosystem of multiple things all in one, though the main idea is to provide an alternative to popular social media platforms like Reddit or Facebook for example. The general idea is that people using the platform and thus contributing good quality content or helping by rating quality content from other users will get rewarded for that. Furthermore these rewards are also partly tied long term to the project, essentially becoming somewhat of a long term investment for the user (think along the lines of having shares in a company).&nbsp;</p>\n<p>This idea alone opens up huge potential for growth for the platform, but the big questions is if it will manage to actually take advantage and secure its place among the other big names. Currently Steemit is really small and is just making its first steps with a user base of just a bit over 75 thousand (total, not active users), the daily active users are currently at about 5K and that is precisely why it has such a big room for growth ahead of it.The first thing you need to start with is to register yourself an account on the Steemit website.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;Registering currently requires you to either have an account on Facebook or Reddit (with positive comment karma) as a means of verification for your registration (you can’t be completely anonymous, or can you). There is no other way to register like by just using regular email address or use your phone with SMS verification or whatever other option. Not everyone has or uses either one of these platforms, though many do, and there is also the idea that you might not want to reveal a lot of personal data just to try out the service.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Moving past the initial step of completing your registration process, in some way or another, make sure you keep your password safe and have a backup as it is something that cannot be recovered if lost. Then the real fun starts and a new learning process for many of you, even though you might have used other social media websites before.You start with a nice simple and clean interface, though you are not sure where to find things around and how everything works.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;There is a <a href=\"https://steem.io/SteemWhitePaper.pdf\">big and detailed whitepaper</a> describing how most of the things work in detail, but that is for the backend, and not for the frontend access that Steemit provides to the blockchain. So you start exploring and trying out things such as making your first post, looking around at the already published content, giving some votes and maybe leaving comments for content that has provoked you to do so.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Inevitably you are making some mistakes as you don’t yet know the rules, or how things work, normal users not into crypto don’t read large whitepapers full of things they don’t understand and the PDF does not tell you everything either. Remember, this is a social media platform that although powered by a blockchain and using crypto currency tokens is still intended for mass users and not only for the much more limited number of crypto users (thy are just a good starting point to build upon).</p>\n<p>Inevitably you start looking for tips and guides on how everything works, there are quite a few of these published by other people on Steemit, people that probably are already ahead with things. As you learn how to properly use the platform, what to do and what not to do, you may even decide to share some of what you have learned with others that are going to come after you and will be at the same position that you started from. You learn what the Steem token is, what are Steem Dollars (SBD) as well as what Steem Power and VESTS represent and how they all work together.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Then you start writing about other things, other things that you are interested in or you like doing – what you do for living, what are your hobbies, maybe post some photos you took, share some funny stuff you find online and so on…This is the point at which a lot of people simply expect to start seeing big rewards pouring their way thanks to the hundreds of people that like what they just posted. Unfortunately this is not what is going to happen, unless of course you are some celebrity or at least a well-known person in some field and you come crashing down on Steemit, bringing a lot of your followers along (this has happened quite a few times already). People like that make a big splash when they come on Steemit and start off with a big reward from their first post, gaining a lot of new followers and bringing quite a few along with them.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;So this is one way that you can ensure you a have good start, or maybe if you are a normal user and manage to write an interesting and attention grabbing first introductory post, you may as well get off very well, though probably not as good as some celebrity will. If you are just a regular user that has nothing special about yourself, then the bad news is that you will have to work hard for a while, a couple of weeks maybe, and not get discouraged or give up before you may start seeing some good returns of your efforts.</p>\n<p>When people tell you hard work is the key to success on Steemit for a regular user that is just starting up, they often mean that you should be able to get results in some time (more than just a few days), but only if you don’t get discouraged and give up before that. There is currently a bit of a problem on the Steemit platform and many of the other users of the platform have noticed it as well. The fact that even if you write or post something good it does not mean it will get a big reward, most likely it will not initially, but as you keep up posting good work it should start getting noticed and you will start building followers that like what you write about.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>People hope that somebody with a lot of voting power will just notice them immediately and they will get a couple of hundred or even thousand Steem Dollars as a reward for their first post. That does happen from time to time, but it takes a lot of good luck for the regular new user. People just get their high expectations by looking at the most popular posts made by successful celebrities or people with an established reputation on Steemit, people that have already worked hard to achieve their status.</p>\n<p>Getting started is hard and you might not get any rewards with your first posts, then maybe score some success with a few cents before actually getting something better, like in the single or even a double digit range… it could take even a week or a few for that to happen. There is of course always the chance of getting lucky and scoring a vote form a big Whale (you will quickly get used with the marine life references on Steemit), but that won’t help you much on the long term.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>A lot of efforts and persistence is the key, and of course posting about things that you write or create will be much more useful and rewarding than posting some content that is not yours such as linking to news articles and such. Copy/pasting without mentioning the original source or using others work and pretending it is your will get you nowhere as these things quickly get noticed and are not tolerated at all on Steemit!How much can you expect to earn in return for your contributions on the Steemit platform?</p>\n<p>&nbsp;Well, that depends on many factors. For example when you start you have only 3 Steem Power, that means you get just a fraction of a cent in terms of voting power and your vote does not account for much. So it is very hard to earn rewards with just voting for other good posts on the platform, as a result you are encouraged to invest into some STEEM tokens to increase your influence and possibly the rewards that you get for your curation efforts.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The alternative (what you should actually try to do) is to write some good and successful posts that will bring you some extra Steem Power and Steem Dollars as rewards, but for regular users this is quite hard to be achieved right from the start. You will need to spend some time learning and figuring things such as the Markdown formatting or basic HTML tags if you are not familiar with that as well as maybe polishing your writing skills a bit. Don’t worry if English is not your native language, there are a lot of people like you on Steemit already (good opportunity to improve your English), there are also local communities starting to form that write in different languages as well – Chinese, Korean, German, Russian and so on.</p>\n<p>Here comes another problem for the regular user that does not come from the crypto world and may not even know about Bitcoin or what crypto currencies are, and yes, there are still people like that. Remember that the long term goal of the Steemit platform and STEEM is to attract the average normal user that is currently using other social media platforms such as Facebook or Reddit. Having these people investing not only their time and efforts into making great content, but also buying some Steem tokens and that is what may be hard for the general public as they need to learn a lot of new things.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;There is some more work needed here if Steem and the Steemit platform want to become more accessible to the regular user, a lot more actually. The reason is that even if you don’t want to invest real money, when you get rewards, you still need to get them out to a crypto exchange in order to cash out real money…What can you expect to get in return for let’s say 1 month of hard work? Here are some numbers you can look at to answer this question: <a href=\"https://steemit.com/steemit/@cryptos/exactly-1-month-on-steemit-let-see-what-i-have-achieved-so-far\">Exactly 1 Month on Steemit, Let Me See What I Have Achieved So Far</a>. This is the achievement list of our editor, who has been using the Steemit platform for a month already and it can be a good reference on what to expect. Again this is his personal account and not an official one for this website, and he has not received any official support from this website prior to today. So the numbers represent only his own hard efforts for a month, starting as a regular new user with no followers to bring along, and not revealing that he is associated with this website at all. It may not be that much as some of you might expect in terms of rewards, especially for writing 120 blog posts on Steemit and contributing hundreds of comments, but these numbers should give you realistic expectations on what you can get as a regular user not giving up and working hard.If you decide to try Steemit as a social media platform with the intention to earn back some rewards in return, then what you need is to manage well your expectations and work hard in achieving your goals. Don’t expect to earn a lot of rewards in no time at all, in fact don’t go expecting to earn anything back when you start using Steemit and you will be pleasantly surprised when you start getting rewards for what you do. That would however take some time and efforts, unless you are somebody popular as already explained above. If you are a celebrity or a popular person, then Steemit is simply a must go to place. If you are just a regular user it is still worth checking out, but make sure you have reasonable expectations before you even start, The project has a lot of potential, but there is also a lot of uncertainty about the whole thing as a lot of additional work is still required to making it a successful and mass social media website, this will simply not happen overnight. Steemit is still very young and with very little users (note that it is currently in beta), so if you register now, you will be among the first users, though not among the earliest adopters that already had a head start. Regardless of that, it could still give you a good opportunity in the future if you start now and the whole project becomes hugely successful and mainstream, but then again that is not guaranteed at all. Enough blabbering about the good and the bad things of STEEM and the Steemit platform, it is not perfect and it does not give thousands of dollars as rewards on day 1 to just anybody who registers and starts using it. There is a fair dose of unfairness and advantages already for those that were among the first to join and be the pioneers, but then again they did put a lot of efforts into getting where they are today.Do we recommend you to try Steemit? Yes, we do encourage everyone to give it a try, there is nothing to lose, only possibilities ahead of you and maybe even some rewards waiting for you there. Do manage your expectations properly however and don’t go for the rewards and only for the rewards, do it to just give it a try and explore how things work and maybe you will like it, or maybe not. Give it a try and see for yourself what the hype is all about, you might be one of the lucky people, or one of the hard working ones, or you might quickly get discouraged and leave… that is up to you to decide. Again, there is nothing to lose in registering and trying Steemit, but there are no guarantees for success and big rewards… this is all up to you.&nbsp;</p>\n</html>",

In the attack, fewer than 260 accounts were compromised, and less than $85,000 worth of Steem Dollars and Steem may have been stolen.</blockquote>\n<blockquote>The hack has now been contained. User accounts and wallets are not at risk, and we hope to soon reactivate the Steemit website to normal order. Any users whose accounts were compromised will be completely reimbursed.Though only a relatively small amount of Steem was stolen, we take any form of criminal activity against our community extremely seriously. We have reported the hack to police and other cyber crime authorities, including the FBI. A full, internal investigation is currently being conducted and we are working on an immediate solution.</blockquote>\n<blockquote>Partner exchange Bittrex was informed of the compromise and is actively helping the investigation. As a precaution, they have temporarily suspended the ability to deposit or withdrawal Steem and Steem Dollars from their exchange. The suspension will be lifted as soon as possible.</blockquote>\n<p>A relatively new social media &nbsp;that has exploded over the past couple of months,&nbsp;has seen its token cryptocurrency Steem’s value&nbsp;rise tremendously&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.the-blockchain.com/2016/06/08/social-media-blockchain-platform-steemit-experiencing-growth-explosion/\">&nbsp;over the past weeks</a>.

The addition of private messaging, notifications and follow buttons will allow even more connectivity between community members, and also attract users of sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram who are well accustomed to the day-to-day functionality of such universal features.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;In the meantime, other entrepreneurs are answering the call, with over 60 third-party applications based off Steem (<a href=\"http://steemtools.com/\">steemtools.com</a>) built in the last two months. Promising applications running off the Steem Blockchain include&nbsp;<a href=\"https://steemit.com/steemit/@steemapp/introducing-steemy-fully-native-ios-android-apps-for-steem\">Steemy</a>, a mobile app in development for Android and iOS, and&nbsp;<a href=\"http://radiosteem.com/\">radiosteem.com</a>, a consensus-based online jukebox. Steemit is currently recording unprecedented levels of traffic, with over 70,000 votes and over 21,000 posts per day; as a result, the platform is already drawing comparisons to the early days of Facebook and Reddit.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;In July, Steemit implemented the first Partner Enabled Account Recovery security protocol across a decentralized network. Users can now choose an Account Recovery Partner on the Steem Blockchain who can vouch for a person’s rightful ownership of an account up to 30 days after the account’s ownership key is changed. Steem currently sits in fifth place on the most valuable list of cryptocurrencies behind Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple and Litecoin.&nbsp;</p>\n</html>",

Led by CEO Ned Scott, formerly in private equity, and CTO Dan Larimer, the creator of Bitshares&nbsp;–&nbsp;Steemit today released a publicly available beta version of a social media content aggregator designed to reward content creators and curators with cryptocurrency.</p>\n<p>CEO and Co-Founder Ned Scott said the reason he created this system was to build a community, incentivize them to contribute, and improve the quality of original content.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;Steemit, which is powered by Blockchain technology, uses forms of a new currency called Steem to reward users that upload articles, images, commentary and blogs, while rewarding users for sourcing and upvoting popular content. The earlier a person up-votes a post that becomes popular, the more they are rewarded.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;Users are paid half in “Steem Power,” a vesting currency that supercharges voting power, and half with Steem Dollars, which can be exchanged for USD.Steemit’s peer-to-peer social economy, is open to anyone around the world. Users can earn Steem, use it as voting power, and exchange it for USD. The technology behind Steemit is open source and available to be viewed and expanded upon by others.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;CTO Dan Larimer said: &nbsp;</p>\n<p>Steemit is a brand new way to recognize contributors online, especially those who join our community early and stay long term. New users will be given a portion of Steem when they sign up and those who initiate or improve the quality of discussions, through persuasiveness, clarity, grammar and formatting, will be upvoted faster and more appropriately rewarded.</p>\n<p>“Steemit is easy and fun to use, and is the best opportunity for the regular consumer to earn and accumulate cryptocurrency,” added Larimer.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;“The versatility of the Blockchain has allowed us to create an incentivized social media platform to exchange conversation, creativity, empowerment, and value. We want to promote dynamic, creative dialogue and debate with an opportunity to earn,”&nbsp;</p>\n<p>said Scott.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;Steemit expects significant user growth from May until their first major reward issuance on July 4. Steem is currently trading at the US based crypto-exchange, <a href=\"https://bittrex.com/\">Bittrex.com</a> and at the Blockchain based ledger, <a href=\"https://openledger.info/\">Openledger.info</a>. Steemit will also soon be available on mobile app. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n</html>",
