Splinterlands - Splintershards Delegation market is live and growing
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/splinterlands-splintershards-delegation-market-is-live-and-growing
Splinterlands play2earn game on the Hive blockchain is evolving sprint after sprint and new features are releases along with them. And one that captured my attention on the last release is the in-game Splintershards (SPS) Rental Market. As now SPS is used for the battle rewards in the form of a multiplier based on the amount of staked tokens, it was normal to have also a market for delegation considering that this will ultimately determine a growing demand for those unprepared for it or new players. While the SPS requirements for the ranked battle rewards are not negligible - SPS Staking Multiplier for Ranked Battle Rewards - I believe that the new Delegation Rental market will only increase over time.
Splinterlands - A tester's view on the latest changes on the Inventory Items page
https://leofinance.io/posts/behiver/splinterlands-a-testers-view-on-the-latest-changes-on-the-inventory-items-page
When you spent most of your professional life as a software tester, it is easy to spot out usability issues and improvements that could be done in a piece of software or game. Having an analytical thinking is something that you build up in time through experience and through letting your imagination push boundaries and see things as end users and try to act as they would with the app. And one thing that my eyes stopped on these days is the New Inventory Items page and through some exploratory testing while knowing the old UI by hearth, I couldn't but see small issues or ways to improve the experience of the player.
How to avoid getting distracted by time consuming and low revenue activities in the crypto space
https://leofinance.io/posts/behiver/how-to-avoid-getting-distracted-by-time-consuming-and-low-revenue-activities-in-the-crypto-space
Regardless if we are navigating a bear or bull crypto market, there are numerous opportunities around us almost at any step and it is up to us if to get involved in them or not. While we are receiving a stream of information about many crypto projects and gigs around them, I think that it is important to analyze them and to avoid falling into time consuming and low revenue schemes that may hinder the overall outcome and financial success. Going the wrong way will simply eat your energy, enthusiasm and motivation even if things may come in a free form in our way, but with so little revenue that we only realize at some point on the way that it simply is not worth our time. So if we want to achieve financial freedom in crypto in our lifetime, we need to pick and chose in what we are getting involved.
Splinterlands - Use Generative AI for gameplay and experience improvements
https://leofinance.io/posts/behiver/splinterlands-use-generative-ai-for-gameplay-and-experience-improvements
Generative AI cannot be ignored nowadays regardless of the domain of applicability or the industry we find ourselves. Its positive impact in elevating work, routine, but also bring innovation and new pathways is simply exponential. And it will continue reverberate everything that it touches and with the help of people in a good way. While we all are attracted by the Splinterlands captivating and immersive gaming experience through all the metaverse built, there is so much more space for growth and exploring. And I think that by leveraging the power of generative AI, Splinterlands can introduce new exciting and dynamic gameplay elements, enhance the visual aesthetics of the game, and provide players with a more personalized and engaging experience. But let's see how this can happen through smaller steps in the beginning in order to make a slow transition and get acceptance from the player's base.
CoinGecko NFT Portfolio - An useful tracker for multi-blockchain assets
https://leofinance.io/posts/behiver/coingecko-nft-portfolio-an-useful-tracker-for-multiblockchain-assets
CoinGecko added for a bit of time a NFT portfolio feature that allows anyone to track multi-blockchain assets from a single point of origin. This way you can have a glimpse of your NFT assets value at any point in time and take your decisions based on the market movements. As the space of NFTs (non-fungible tokens) continues to increase, users are seeking efficient ways to manage their growing NFT portfolios across different blockchain. CoinGecko comes to respond to this need and brings a bunch of benefits through using their NFT portfolio tracker, a powerful yet simple tool that simplifies the management and tracking of your NFT assets.
What would you tell your younger self about crypto?
https://leofinance.io/posts/behiver/what-would-you-tell-your-younger-self-about-crypto
If we only could turn time back, but unfortunately we cannot. Still, remembering the mistakes from our past should lead us not to repeat them again. With that in mind I want to ask you what would you tell your younger self about crypto?
Splinterlands - The use cases for the Splintershards governance token
https://leofinance.io/posts/behiver/splinterlands-the-use-cases-for-the-splintershards-governance-token
While the crypto market is bleeding, the Splinterlands is blossoming through its developments and through the things that are being built and which provide more use cases for the game tokens. And one of them that we all had big hopes on since its ATH of $1.07 – Splintershards – is getting new use cases which can only strengthen its value. That will not happen overnight, don’t think of a get rich quick scheme, but the ripple effect of capturing more value will be seen in time. While in the beginning its only case was for governance voting on the DAO Treasury, now we see more and more use cases popping up or on the pipeline. So within this post, I intend to try to check all the usages for Splintershards $SPS asset.
New Hive blockchain communities created in May 2023
https://leofinance.io/posts/behiver/new-hive-blockchain-communities-created-in-may-2023
As we've all experienced it, communities are the lifeblood of the thriving Hive blockchain ecosystem. The collective knowledge, user adoption efforts, initiative and support for members growth and development make communities have the right ingredients for any new user in this vast crypto environment. To reach our full potential on Hive, we all sooner or later find a place and community that we are joining with which we share common interest, passions and the will to thrive. And it is amazing to see that life on the Hive blockchain never stops, and new communities are being created to capture new domains and interest. And for now we'll see what other communities popped up in the previous month, May 2023.
Splinterlands - Burn DEC to the ground and build it all again
https://leofinance.io/posts/behiver/splinterlands-burn-dec-to-the-ground-and-build-it-all-again
In Splinterlands play to earn game on the Hive blockchain, The Great Burning event is live and is running for about a month. As a means to celebrate the 5 year anniversary of Splinterlands, the team is giving away a giant heap of prizes in the form of Land Tracts, Land Plots, Legendary/Epic/Rare Titles and a lot of other rewards to players who burn DEC or DEC-B. On top of that it seems that those who burn DEC will also get Guild Power to level the guild buildings. This is a monster event and I think that adapting the phrase "Burn DEC to the ground and build it all again" fits like a glove to it. A huge effort to try to peg DEC in the ratio of 1,000 DEC:$1 and bring more health to the tokenomics from this awesome game.
Hive HPUD - Harnessing the power of staking while growing the crypto holdings
https://leofinance.io/posts/behiver/hive-hpud-harnessing-the-power-of-staking-while-growing-the-crypto-holdings
Time passes fast when you're having fun and where more than in crypto space you can enjoy financial freedom? With that in mind we are already on 1st of June 2023 and I think you all know what event it is: Hive Power Up Day. Beside earning symbolic badges for powering up in this day as many Hive users are doing it, we all have the opportunity to harness the power of staking while our crypto holdings are growing, both passively and actively. How? Well, by simply having Hive powered up you are earning 2.99% APR, while through curation you can push that towards 10% or more. And that besides the fact that Hive is the ingredient of everything that happens on the Hive blockchain through its governance flavor and that it has the potential to increase ten fold and maybe retrace the ATH of $3.41 from Nov 26, 2021. So much potential, while already making quick returns with a bit of effort.
Splinterlands - Increase your earnings by playing and reinvesting SPS
https://leofinance.io/posts/behiver/splinterlands-increase-your-earnings-by-playing-and-reinvesting-sps
In Splinterlands there is a lot of controversy on the published decision to make SPS staking a factor on the rewards earnings. While this was anyhow part of the whitepaper and quite long overdue, now that the Splinterlands team finally took decision to take action on it and implement it, it seems that those milking the game for SPS rewards and selling them right away have started to voice themselves as an opposition to this decision. Myself I am positioning on the other side of things as I have been gathering SPS tokens since they've started being airdropped and I am continuing to do so. Why? Simply because at its core the governance tokens are the most powerful assets that one could hold if they have use cases within the game. And with the SPS staking requirement to be factored into the earnings, I think we are starting to finally see real SPS use cases.
LeoFinance - Reblog feature is one I'm missing more and more
https://leofinance.io/posts/behiver/leofinance-reblog-feature-is-one-im-missing-more-and-more
The Hive blockchain is a true decentralized social media platform where users can share the content in multiple forms: blogs, posts and comments or threads. While some are more specific to long form content and other to the short form microblogging, I will focus in this post on the long form publishing on the Leo Finance app and community. While the new UI kicked on the market for quite some time, things are continuously being built up through iterative cycles. But as we got used to the old interface or other interfaces exposing content from the Hive blockchain, it is easy to compare and find out the features that are yet to be release and that we miss the most. And in my case that's the "Reblog" functionality.
Terracore - The referral system is a gold mine
https://leofinance.io/posts/behiver/terracore-the-referral-system-is-a-gold-mine
Terracore play2earn game on the Hive blockchain appeared from nowhere and in a fraction of a second it pushed with the force of a wave and brought excitement and energy to the entire ecosystem from here. Without much buzz around it as after a cataclysmic event, this post-apocalypse science fiction blockchain game filled a void from Hive that the players were missing on. And once it appeared and with a lot entry point, many of the hivers from here joined it and tried to survive a scarce world where you can only search for $SCRAP and try to make the most of it.
Splinterlands - The DAO Treasury is expected to increase with the unclaimed airdropped SPS tokens
https://leofinance.io/posts/behiver/dao-treasury-unclaimed-sps-airdrop
Splintershards (SPS) is the governance cryptocurrency in the Splinterlands play2earn game on the Hive blockchain which provides increasing levels of decision-making ability and control over the product evolution and the DAO Treasury to the player-base, asset owners, and other stakeholders. About 400M SPS tokens, or 13.33% of the total token supply, were airdropped on a daily basis over a 1-year period to players based upon the amount and type of Splinterlands assets held in their account. This event completed quite a long time ago, but even so it seems that there are unclaimed SPS tokens which remained in the air.
Splinterlands - Staked Splintershards will determine the rewards caps
https://leofinance.io/posts/behiver/staked-splintershards-rewards-caps
Splinterlands continue to build and keep the players engaged, but besides the gameplay itself also the tokenomics are important for user retention and even new onboardings. Play2earn blockchain games are appealing to a new kind of players especially because of the earnings angle as besides having fun, some of us also want to earn from it. GameFi for sure found a good place within the Splinterlands realm and lately there are some announcements that are intended to improve the space. And one of them is adding a new use case for Splintershards $SPS in the form of being a requirement to have it staked in order to maximize one's possible earnings in the game. And I think this is something that we all have been waiting for a long time.
Leo Finance - Comments and thread replies should be time lined descendant
https://leofinance.io/posts/behiver/leo-finance-comments-and-thread-replies-should-be-time-lined-descendant
Leo Finance revolutionized the blogging and micro blogging on the Hive blockchain through a Twitter Crypto approach and in the same time envisioning an everything app. While others might only speak about it, we see here a daring do it now strategy by going live with a new UI for the Leo Finance that brings together long form articles and micro posts in the form of threads. We are in the incipient phases of a metamorphosis from what we got cozy and accustomed with it, but while we are using the new UI more and more, we start finding our way with it. And by adding it to our daily crypto routine, we discover things that could be done better and can submit improvement proposals. And through this post I intend to do just that.
Splinterlands - Building in the await of the flywheel effect
https://leofinance.io/posts/behiver/splinterlands-building-in-the-await-of-the-flywheel-effect-
Splinterlands continues to develop new dimensions of the game and Land is a big portion of it. As I see it, is expected to be a sink for NFT cards and DEC in order to put the Land at work and be able to harvest different rewards from it. And from that is expected to result NFT cards appreciation, DEC pegging and a flywheel effect on the Splintershards SPS token as well. This is what should ensure the rejuvenation of the entire ecosystem if everything plays out right.
Navigating the crypto market: neither bull nor bear
https://leofinance.io/posts/behiver/navigating-the-crypto-market-neither-bull-nor-bear
The cryptocurrency market has been a subject of intense speculation and volatility, leaving us uncertain about its current state and the direction is going towards. While we can argue either that we are experiencing a bull market or we are contend that we are on the brink of a bear market, it is clear that we cannot tell for sure one or the other. From my point of view the crypto market is straddling between these two extremes without taking a stance on one or the other, even if I think there is a slow uptrend from what we experienced in 2022.
Leo Power Up Day: Let's make it rain LEO!
https://leofinance.io/posts/behiver/leo-power-up-day-lets-make-it-rain-leo
We are on 15th of May 2023 and the Leo Power Up Day day is here and with it I just have one thing to say: Let's make it rain LEO! We are living exciting times as the entire platform tokenomics was revamped by bringing value back into the ecosystem through LeoAds and other mechanics. This created a positive waive on the market and the effects have started to see in the price appreciation, even if it is a slow and steady growth. But if we are talking about sustainability, I think this is the way to go with it. And having this model already look like a success, probably other communities from the Hive blockchain could mimic it and bring more value in this great ecosystem which simply deserves so much more. But enough with the excitement from the market and let me return to continue building up my stash of $LEO $0.045 as today is Leo Power Up Dat and it might come with additional perks.
Splinterlands - Did we hit the rock bottom after today's All Time Low?
https://leofinance.io/posts/behiver/splinterlands-did-we-hit-the-rock-bottom-after-todays-all-time-low
The entire crypto market was these days in full bleeding mode and Splinterlands governance token was pulled down with it reaching a new All Time Low. As Splintershards (SPS) fall down as low as $0.0203, the sentiment surrounding this once top blockchain game is starting to erode the trust of existing and also any potential investors. Don't get me wrong, the game is evolving, things are moving forward at a good pace, but as a play2earn crypto game it needs much more than that.
Leo Finance - LEO token is riding the waves of success even in a stormy market
https://leofinance.io/posts/behiver/leo-finance-leo-token-is-riding-the-waves-of-success-even-in-a-stormy-market
The crypto market is tumultuous right now and it gives us downs and ups and simply doesn't show a clear trend. But one project that shows positive signs in all this uncertain times, is the Leo Finance Everything app in the form of new UI that embedded both short form and long form of content creation. Some are naming it the Crypto Twitter others know it under the codename Project Blank, but I see it as an evolution of Leo Finance platform itself which metamorphized in something better and aggregated, rather than keeping different components separated. To put it simple - the one stop shop for web3 social media, for both fast finger and thinkers social media consumers and well established, written and article posting content creators.
Splinterlands - Reaching my target of 100k SPS stake is just the beginning of the next journey
https://leofinance.io/posts/behiver/splinterlands-reaching-my-target-of-100k-sps-stake-is-just-the-beginning-of-the-next-journey
Since Splinterlands introduced Splintershards SPS quite a long time ago, I have set myself a goal of reaching 100,000 SPS staked. That happened during the previous bull run and I was dreaming of not having to work anymore and strike it big out if this amazing play2earn game. Many say that a goal without a plan is just a wish and to tell you the truth I had a plan and even executed it with perseverance. But while I reached my goal, the market turned around to 180 degrees and the bear season hit us as hard as it could. And while now I celebrate this great achievement, the dollar value for my accumulation doesn't compare at all with the market value from when I've started staking SPS. The plan was great, it succeeded, but the timing was just not right.
Hive free marketing in TechCrunch publication
https://leofinance.io/posts/behiver/hive-free-marketing-in-techcrunch-publication
We all know that the Hive blockchain doesn't have a CEO and it doesn't have centralized funds dedicated for marketing and other such activities that a commercial business would make use. This has its downsides, but in the same time has some advantage as the growth and expansion of the blockchain is ensure through users and community initiatives, thus is pure organically. But as we continue to build infrastructure and have successful projects launched within this ecosystem, sometimes we capture the attention of bigger publications and spread the word out about this blockchain.
Terracore - Positive network effect through the referral system
https://leofinance.io/posts/behiver/terracore-positive-network-effect-through-the-referral-system
Terracore energized the gaming space on the Hive blockchain and it even created a wave and inspiration for others to follow and launch an idle play2earn adventure to become the king of the hill in a post apocalypse environment. I have joined the game since incipient phases, had a strategy in mind and executed it step by step while also climbing the ladder and growing my account. But one thing that surprised me pleasantly was the power of the implemented referral system which drops some sweet Hive rewards from time to time by simply spreading the word.
New Hive blockchain communities created in April 2023
https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@behiver/new-hive-blockchain-communities-created-in-april-2023
Without communities on the Hive blockchain we would be lost and we would feel the solitude of trying to make something into a vast universe. Not only that they offer the perfect playground for sharing our hobbies and interest, but communities also empower their members and try to lift them up through curation and different engagement challenges, contests and other alike. I felt the power of joining a community like LeoFinance back in the days, and I am sure that you can find that too by choosing the right community for you.
Splinterlands - Delegate and Undelegate brawl rewards to Guilds or other players
https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@behiver/splinterlands-delegate-and-undelegate-brawl-rewards-to-guilds-or-other-players
Splinterlands is the game to be on the Hive blockchain and beyond and its intertwining with the blockchain technology distinguishes it clearly in the gaming and crypto space. While being innovators and opening new roads in an uncharted domain, Splinterlands shapes how blockchain games can look like and how their tokenomics can work both in the favor of the founders, but also as players. And when you see that you get also a piece of the cake by participating to the game economy, you simply feel more empowered and motivated. And what I like about it is that besides the game itself, one can earn new things on how to interact with the blockchain technology.
Splinterlands - Splintershards Delegation is preparing us for more use cases for the governance token
https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@behiver/splinterlands-splintershards-delegation-is-preparing-us-for-more-use-cases-for-the-governance-token
Splintershards is the governance token from Splinterlands and for the moment it doesn't have many use cases, which might be also the reason why this asset is priced so low at $0.024. Of course there are many other reasons contributing negatively to that like the huge supply and others, but I am not going into that as I've already voiced my concerns in other posts covering this. But one thing Splintershards $SPS is lacking is the use cases that it has in the game. Basically it is mostly used for Governance Voting on the DAO Treasury funds, but also that is limited and even if it is a driving force into a direction that the community can express itself, it is just not enough to give it value and demand.
If I am crashing down, I'll take my crypto with me
https://peakd.com/leofinance/@behiver/if-i-am-crashing-down-ill-take-my-crypto-with-me
I am travelling quite a lot these days and while I am overloaded with a lot of things at work, my mind flies to the crypto realm from time to time and tries to relax. This is the life of a new generation not by age, but by openness to a decentralized revolution in the form of blockchain technology that takes place beneath our eyes. And I am quite happy that I am part of it and that I am on the groundfloor of many blockchain and crypto projects, while dreaming to put my mark as well in this space.
Hive HPUD May 2023 - Staking more Hive on my way to being an Orca
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/hive-hpud-may-2023-staking-more-hive-on-my-way-to-being-an-orca
Just few days ago I have posted about the Hive Power thresholds for each fish specie that is swimming within the Hive blockchain waters - The fish types in the Hive blockchain sea. And while I am currently a happy Dolphin, my goal is to become an Orca and make some splashes in the communities that I am being involved in and amongst the content creators that I follow on a daily basis. While I did not plan for this, but having some investments in the new gaming projects from the Hive blockchain like Genesis League Goals, Terracore or Golem Overlord, they've already become a source of steady revenue streams which I am exchanging for Hive. These are most of the projects that offered me liquid Hive that I will be using today, 1st of May 2023 to stake them and actively participate in the Hive Power Up Day #HPUD event with the goal of becoming an Orca (56k HP) someday.
Splinterlands - Entertainment gets boosted with the new rules of combat allowing the use of Gladiator cards
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/splinterlands-entertainment-gets-boosted-with-the-new-rules-of-combat-allowing-the-use-of-gladiator-cards
Splinterlands has become a complex metaverse of battling with different NFT cards sets, foils and elements. And now we see also the rules of combat expand and provide new battle excitement by allowing the use of Gladiators within daily clashes. We got used to throw Gladiators in the ring in Guild Wars as these can be obtained by buying Guild packs, so having the possibility to use them in regular battling is an exciting new entertainment that we can enjoy on a daily basis.
