Splinterlands - Splintershards SPS needs more use cases in order to capture real value
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/splinterlands-splintershards-sps-needs-more-use-cases-in-order-to-capture-real-value
In Splinterlands play2earn game on the Hive blockchain, the governance of its entire metaverse is ensured by the Splintershards (SPS) cryptocurrency. While I believe in its potential to gain or better said to regain value considering from where it has started from ($1.07 ATH on July 28, 2021 based on CoinGecko data), its price remains relatively low and even plummeted lately. The reasons behind this lack of appreciation are multifaceted and while I am trying to uncover them, for sure there is so much more needed to make SPS great once again.
New Hive blockchain communities created in March 2023
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/new-hive-blockchain-communities-created-in-march-2023
Communities are the backbone of the Hive blockchain and I think it is good to know what new communities are being created and the number of subscribers they are attracting through different strategies and common interests.
Golem Overlord - A game of survival where every move counts
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/golem-overlord-a-game-of-survival-where-every-move-counts
Golem Overlord is an idle-incremental game on Hive blockchain that aims to be a simple play2earn, but challenging to master. While it was inspired by Terracore and transparently stated, considering that it is being powered by Splex.GG and it has a bigger team behind, I assume that it can deliver features and adapt much faster. And even if I didn't jump on the game in the incipient phase where also promotions where running, I've joined it few weeks after and still had the chance to get and be competitive without the others advancing too much and giving no chance to new players like me.
Splinterlands - How to broadcast custom Json on the Hive blockchain from your browser
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/splinterlands-how-to-broadcast-custom-json-on-the-hive-blockchain-from-your-browser
Splinterlands is a full force on the Hive blockchain and it is just more than a play2earn crypto game through all the third parties and things built around it: content creation, conferences, intertwined additional games using its assets, video streaming and much more. I think it is the application that makes the most custom Json operations on the Hive blockchain and it keeps this entire ecosystem alive and kicking. And with that also some technical challenges come to the surface and sometimes to achieve different things you might need some knowledge here and there.
The fish types in the Hive blockchain sea
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/the-fish-types-in-the-hive-blockchain-sea
One thing that I like about the Hive blockchain is the representation of a sea where different fishes are swimming and try to find their way in this vast ecosystem. While I knew of different fish types that can be in the Hive blockchain sea like the red fish, the minnow, the dolphin, the orca or the whale, I never understood the math and calculation behind it. But finally I've decided to get a deeper look into that, go to the table and bring more clarity on it.
Latest Splinterlands hack reminds us of the risks and weak point of hot wallets
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/latest-splinterlands-hack-reminds-us-of-the-risks-and-weak-point-of-hot-wallets
Probably most involved in Splinterlands or being around it have already find out that the game recently experienced a security incident that resulted in the theft of approximately 6 million SPS and 8 million DEC tokens which in the current market conditions accounted for up to $200,000. The stolen tokens were dumped right away on the markets causing a drop in price for $SPS and also significant concern among the game's community, including myself. In an official announcement, Splinterlands revealed that the theft occurred from old, no longer used hot wallets deployed on a certain infrastructure that were previously used for bridges between the Splinterlands game and the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and Ethereum (ETH) chains before Terablock took over. With the new technology changes Splinterlands has moved to more secure solutions, but I think that was a good hit that it took.
Hive blockchain - The benefits of HBD Savings compared to Hive curation
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/hive-blockchain-the-benefits-of-hbd-savings-compared-to-hive-curation
We all know by now that the Hive blockchain is a web3 social media platform that allows users to earn rewards in the form of Hive tokens for their content contributions to the platform and other means of engagement through different communities and projects. While the governance token of the platform is Hive and through powering it up you can earn from curation, there is also an alternative for a more passive earning in the form of HBD Savings. Through this feature at Layer 1 level you can deposit HBD into a Savings account and earn 20% compounding interest as an incentive for holding HBD stablecoin rather than converting it to Hive and Hive Power and earning rewards through curation and commenting. And while I have moved all my HBD into HIVE in order to capture the governance token uptrend, I just realized that there are some important benefits for HBD Savings compared to Hive Power.
Genesis League Goals - Opening all my packs in the hunt for Gold Foils
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/genesis-league-goals-opening-all-my-packs-in-the-hunt-for-gold-foils
In Genesis League Goals the packs opening has been started for almost 2 weeks and with it a rush has started in order to see what you've got out of the 396 cards, both coaches and players. And in these times anyone that wants to increase the chances of reveling Gold Foils have the chance to buy Scout Passes that provide chance boosts to receive such extraordinary NFTs. These boosts start from 15% and last for 2 weeks (period almost over) and then reduce by 1% every week following until pack staking rewards are finished on June 6, 2023. In parallel to this one has the option to keep the packs staked and earn GLX tokens from that or to buy Scout Passes and have greater chances to find Gold Foils. Guess what I did? You are right, I went in and bought Scout Passes and opened all my packs in the first 2 weeks in order to maximize the chances for Gold Foils (15%).
Hold tight, HBD is pumping once again reaching $1.17
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/hold-tight-hbd-is-pumping-once-again-reaching-usd1-17
It is morning, I didn't have yet my coffee and I am browsing a little bit the crypto news before working from home. And looking at the prices of the crypto assets from my portfolio, there is a pleasant surprise and it seems that HBD is pumping once again and reached a height of $1.17. At the moment it is trading at $1.16 which offers some profits grabbing for those that have liquid assets.
2 Years of dCrops and I keep on farming | Writing Contest
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/2-years-of-dcrops-and-i-keep-on-farming-or-writing-contest
Time flies when you're having fun and it seems 2 years have passed since dCrops farming game was launched on the Hive blockchain. As I've spent much of my childhood in the country side with my grandparents, I've grown fond of agriculture since my early age and I simply love the life where the nature, humans and animals coexist together and build memories from a time where you didn't have to worry about anything. Thus, when dCrops came to life on the Hive blockchain, I had to give it a try and see if I can replicate the joy and routine from my childhood. As I got involved in different projects on the Hive blockchain for dCrops I have used one of my alt accounts - @photoark where I've gathered all my NFTs and assets from the game.
LPUD April 2023 - Building wealth, one LEO staked at a time
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/lpud-april-2023-building-wealth-one-leo-staked-at-a-time
It is 15th of April 2023 and the Leo Power Up Day #LPUD is upon us. As I have been harvesting $LEO tokens on LeoFinance from the last event through content creation, curation, engagement and mining, I have now a good stash that I will be powering up. Because in the end, each LEO token staked counts in order to provide more earnings from curation and this is how you are building wealth, slow and steady.
Splinterlands - Looking beyond the numbers governing the game activity
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/splinterlands-looking-beyond-the-numbers-governing-the-game-activity
The crypto market seems to be bullish at the moment and that should translate into some effervescent action also within Splinterlands. But instead of just spotting an uptrend or something alike, I think it is important to take a look beyond the numbers driving the game activity and try to see what these are telling us. That's because while some tokens or assets might be on an uptrend, that might not be the entire story they are telling us or the weight we might want to believe. And in order to have a broader view, the analytics on Splinterlands activity will be checked for a period of 6 Months. That should give us a good feeling of what's happening overall and not just now when we might be around some temporary hype.
Splinterlands - The idea of renting cards to stake on Praetoria land
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/splinterlands-the-idea-of-renting-cards-to-stake-on-praetoria-land
Splinterlands entered a new era with the Praetoria land which brought a new wave of energy within the game by opening so many possibilities for what you can do in this great metaverse. In order to have lucrative lands we'll have to stake NFT cards from different editions, rarities, gold foils or not and preferably for these to be maxed out. As I have several plots and it will be a stretch to work all of them, one idea would be the possibility of renting cards and stake them on surveyed land.
The advantages of being a curator on the Hive blockchain
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/the-advantages-of-being-a-curator-on-the-hive-blockchain
Many of us are spending quite a bit of time on the Hive blockchain and while our account grows in time, being a curator becomes a earning routine in this ecosystem. And while we start doing our things on a daily basis as a habit, we discover in time the benefits of curating content and engaging with the others. Thinking about that I've tried to outline some of the advantages of being a curator on the Hive blockchain and why I am doing this with more energy than ever (part of it because I am expecting a new bull run cycle, which these days seems knocking at the door; hopefully this will be confirmed with the market uprising in the following weeks and months).
Money, power or respect - what do you desire the most?
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/money-power-or-respect-what-do-you-desire-the-most
As I was watching a drama and crime TV series entitled The Company You Keep, one thing stuck into my head from the last episode on it - people are pursuing in life one of three things: money, power or respect. This got me thinking and it might be right that we are inclined based on our past experience to try and compensate, pursue and reach life goals from these three dimensions. And while these three things are often interconnected and can contribute to each other, the underlying motivation for each of them can be quite different.
RisingStar - I could fill up a stadium with my huge number of fans
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/risingstar-i-could-fill-up-a-stadium-with-my-huge-number-of-fans
I have joined and played it ever since RisingStar launched on the Hive blockchain and by doing that I have reach a point where I can say that I could fill up a stadium with my huge number of fans gained in the game. This idle, yet entertaining play2earn game follows the destiny of a musician, a singer from the challenges of getting into the world and being seen to the fame of singing of the big stages and gathering thousands of fans all over the world. The games keep on developing new use cases, keeps of expanding and coming up with smart additions in a domain that only brightens our day.
The math behind Vests and Hive Power on the Hive blockchain
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/the-math-behind-vests-and-hive-power-on-the-hive-blockchain
I have written this pots in order to bring a better understanding on what Vests and Hive Power represent on the Hive blockchain and also provide some math upon that. First of all you should know that Vests and Hive Power represent the same thing on the Hive blockchain. Vests is simply the unit of measurement used to represent a user's stake in the Hive network. When a user receives rewards on the Hive blockchain, those rewards are distributed in the form of Vests, which can then be converted to Hive Power for 1:1 approximation to Hive.
Splinterlands - Quarterly promo cards with a twist
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/splinterlands-quarterly-promo-cards-with-a-twist
I've been watching the latest Splinterlands AMA and I've listen carefully the questions part at the end of the show. And several inquiries and suggestions were made upon the Promo cards like Vruz which were a drop of rewarding and giving back to SPS holders. But while we all had our hopes on how this would move forward from now on, some clarifications were brought within the video stream which I think got us back on the ground from our dreamy thoughts. And it seems that next promo cards will come with a twist as those will mostly imply more revenue to Splinterlands rather than a big portion of revenue going towards the SPS stakers. But hopefully they will leave something on the table also for us in case we want to profit from such promotional events and cards.
The available payout options for post rewards on the Hive blockchain
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/the-available-payout-options-for-post-rewards-on-the-hive-blockchain
Hive blockchain is fueled by content creation, curation, and engagement while aiming to build communities around a common interest and ultimately create new projects which help with the growth and development of web3 technologies, but not limited to them. I see it as a technology and crypto finance hub where dreams can come true with the power of communities and a great user base from here. Most of us start as content creators on this platform and we can grow from here into real businesses and crypto projects with their own identities and even cryptocurrencies on the second layer.
Splinterlands - My Mythic Kingdom's Keep is much alike the Game of Thrones North Wall
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/splinterlands-my-mythic-kingdom-s-keep-is-much-alike-the-game-of-thrones-north-wall
Land survey is here and I had the chance to reveal what's hiding behind my 10 plots that I was holding in the Splinterlands realm. I couldn't be luckier than this as I got myself a Mythic Kingdom Keep, alongside some other good plots in my opinion. The graphics are amazing and when I saw this my mind travelled in the Games of Thrones to the North Wall that was protecting the empire. And now I believe that's my duty, to be brave and hold the line against any enemies that might want to come and invade Praetoria.
Genesis League Sports - Proof of progress by hitting the milestone of 20,000 GLX staked
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/genesis-league-sports-proof-of-progress-by-hitting-the-milestone-of-20-000-glx-staked
Genesis League Sports platform is making bigger steps in development and will start seeing more getting released on the Genesis League Goals which tackles the soccer angle. The first thing to come to life would be the packs opening, while the market for cards will be launched later on. And to tell you the truth I am not in a hurry to sell anything at the moment as the game is just starting and I need all my cards to combine in order to be able to compete better. But while that happens, I continued to stake all my GLX gained from SPS staking, GLX staking and packs staking. All these channels of tokens revenue helped me to reach a milestone that I've set my eyes on for quite a bit, the 20,000 GLX staked.
Terracore - Outlast, outsmart and outplay in an engaging, but yet an idle play2earn game
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/terracore-outlast-outsmart-and-outplay-in-an-engaging-but-yet-an-idle-play2earn-game
Terracore is a post-apocalyptic play2earn idle game on the Hive blockchain where players take on the role of citizens of a world on the binge of collapse. Resources are scarce and you can only survive by finding $SCRAP cryptocurrency, while danger lurks around every corner and everybody wants to rob you. As one of the last remaining citizens on this world (775 citizens at the writing of this post), it is up to you on what kind of destiny you want to forge in the game and if you survive at all cost or still keep some humanity in you. I was lucky enough to join the game in the early stage (or at least I think so) and I've succeeded to understand it pretty good and be able to survive one day at a time.
Hive blockchain - Doubled down on my dreams by powering up over 15,000 Hive
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/hive-blockchain-doubled-down-on-my-dreams-by-powering-up-over-15-000-hive
What a day in which I went all in and doubled down on my dreams to make it big on the Hive blockchain and I've staked more than 15,000 Hive tokens into Hive Power. This represents a shift in strategy as I think that Hive is still undervalued considering all that's happening in this ecosystem and because the crypto market is yet to be more bullish. The fight against inflation might soon reach a turning point and with that I hope to see a better sentiment on the financial and crypto markets, which should breath some fresh life into them. So now I thought it was the right time to make a move and see how it plays out.
Why the price of LEO is not mooning after the launch of Threads?
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/why-the-price-of-leo-is-not-mooning-after-the-launch-of-threads
The LeoFinance platform has been making headlines in the world of web3 for its innovative approach to finance and social media. With the recent launch of Threads, a microblogging platform on the Hive blockchain, many including me, were expecting the price of the LEO cryptocurrency to rise. However, this has not been the case, leaving many users and potential investors wondering why.
Splinterlands - DAO Treasury should be added as a new dashboard in the game
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/splinterlands-dao-treasury-should-be-added-as-a-new-dashboard-in-the-game
The DAO Treasury keeps on growing and a bull market might impress any investor or participant to the Splinterlands tokenomics. But with that, I think it brings great responsibility and it requires more transparency. A first step to address that would be to add a new Dashboard in Splinterlands to present the DAO Treasury assets in real-time (or near real-time) for SPS Holders to be able to see what assets and the amount they have available to use through DAO proposals.
Adapting my routine on the Hive blockchain in times of growing demands at work
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/adapting-my-routine-on-the-hive-blockchain-in-times-of-growing-demands-at-work
Crazy days are starting to become a common factor at work and I am starting to feel a burnout cycle getting to me. Usually getting into crypto and especially doing my things on the Hive blockchain, makes me relax and empty my mind from worries and overloaded thinking. In time crypto became for me a refuge from the hectic work schedules and duties that lately seem to be increasing. I hope that I can keep the flame burning in crypto and be present as much as I can while my work responsibility will be spawning by the end of the year. However, as with any endeavor, maintaining the same success on Hive requires dedication, consistency, and a well-organized routine. As my work period grows, adapting my routine becomes essential to keep my presence on the platform and ensure that I continue to recurrently earn rewards.
Splinterlands - The promo cards for SPS Holders becomes a culture of its own
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/splinterlands-the-promo-cards-for-sps-holders-becomes-a-culture-of-its-own
There is no doubt that the current Vruz promo card for SPS holders was a blast and for me, this signified a way that the Splinterland team gave back a little bit of value to all the investors and players from this great game. I was lucky enough to get almost 100 cards, of which 2 of them were Gold Foils. As I needed a solid investment to max them out, I decided to sell them on the open market. With regular cards going for around $0.50 and the 2 Gold Foils getting e $15, that translated into about $60 earnings from this promotion. I didn't count the value of the vouchers that I traded for them, but that shouldn't chip too much into the profits.
Topping 15,000 Hive Power staked on the Hive blockchain
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/topping-15-000-hive-power-staked-on-the-hive-blockchain
Steady growth is the name of the game on the Hive blockchain and being present here day after day (almost), I have succeeded just now to top over 15,000 Hive Power staked. I am still a Dolphin in the big sea from here, but I am swimming swiftly towards better waters as my staking power gives me more influence and better rewards from the reward pool. Through persistence and determination, I have reached a great number and I don't play to stop anytime soon. I've set a goal of 16,500 Hive Power by the end of the year and I think that it is quite reachable, although in my mind my next big threshold would be 20,000. I don't want to venture and hazard too much on that but will take it slowly and climb up toward my goals one step at a time.
On the Hive blockchain what you give is what you get
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/on-the-hive-blockchain-what-you-give-is-what-you-get
For those that don't know it yet, the Hive blockchain is a unique web3 platform that encourages user engagement and rewards content creators and curators at the same time for their contributions. One of the key features of the Hive blockchain resides in its rewarding system, which allows users to give recognition and support to content that they find valuable or interesting through a leveraged upvote. This is based on the user weight on the governance token $HIVE, which needs to be staked as $HivePower in order to cast a proportional upvote when curating.
Terracore - The newest play2earn game on the Hive blockchain
https://leofinance.io/@behiver/terracore-the-newest-play2earn-game-on-the-hive-blockchain
Terracore is the newest play2earn game that has recently launched on the Hive blockchain. It is developed by Crypt0Gnome and based on his statement, this will be a sole work of a post-apocalypse idle game on the HIVE blockchain by putting together all of the things he has learned throughout his development career and using AI to handle certain parts of the project. It is amazing how one day you can be a participant in the Hive blockchain ecosystem and the next day you can be a cryptopreneur. Hopefully, someday I can make this transition as well as my head is full of ideas and I have a little bit of technical knowledge as a QA engineer, just need to put that into practice and make it come true.
