Actifit : Let's Move-to-Earn!
The Move-to-Earn hype is on top right now and that's why I am here again to introduce y'all a move to earn app named as Actifit. https://actifit.io/
Introduction
Move to earn apps are basically apps which rewards you for walking! I mean yeah, you walk daily right? Why not earn something too while walking. Wait, wait, hold on, don't start thinking about getting rich just by walking. Lol. But atleast you will stay fit right?
Let's get to our point, Actifit is a move to earn project but on hive blockchain. And not to mention It isn't new one because it has been there since almost 4 years! I guess that's enough for a project to get trustworthy for their users and to create a nice goodwill among it's community members. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/hive-blockchain/
The above image is from their official hive account, showing the date it was created which goes back in 2018, and now (the year this post is being written) it's 2022 making it almost 4 years! And this is just beginning, still many more to come. https://hive.blog/@actifit
Getting Started
To start your journey on hive, you will need to create an account on hive first. Since Actifit in available on hive blockchain, it is kinda necessary to have an account on hive. https://hive.blog
There are many ways to create account on hive but most of them requires you to pay some amount. If you are ready to invest you can try creating account directly on Actifit or else you can just try creating it for free on 3speak where I created mine too. But remember it was months ago I did that so there can be some changes in their policy or anything else, make sure to DYOR (Do your own research) before giving it a try. https://actifit.io/ https://3speak.tv/
After successfully creating account on hive make sure to ask for your keys. Keys are just like we have seeds in our crypto. You can only login into your Hive/Actifit account with your keys only, so make sure to backup it at safe place and do no share it with anyone else.
Downloading Their App
So after creating account on hive and getting your keys, you need to download their app which is available on playstore and on Appstore too https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.actifit.fitnesstracker.actifitfitnesstracker https://bit.ly/actifit-ios
As you can see, the app requires just 5 MB so you don't have to get worried about your phone storage.
How it works
So now that we have created our hive account and also have downloaded their app it's time to start walking!
Let me give you a bit introduction how their app looks like.
So this is how your main page will look like, other than that date and those charts. Those charts represent how much you have walked. There is one for your that ongoing day and one chart showing your ongoing months report.
Your screen will look something like this after you have walked enough steps.
Remember, **The Minimum to get rewarded is 5k steps and Maximum is 10k.** That means you need to walk minimum 5k steps to get qualified for their rewards.
How to get rewarded
So now since you have already walked enough steps (Min 5k) but what now? So if you scroll a bit down on their app you will see an option “Send Post" using that option you can post your steps on hive blockchain/Actifit.
Don't worry it's a simple process, when it's your first time you will need to enter your hive username and your posting key so that you can post your steps directly from the app. Their UI isn't that confusing so you can manage it without any worries. But even if you got any, just drop a comment and I will try to help you solving it.
So now you have posted your steps now what? Now all you need to do is wait for the admin of Actifit to visit your post, upvote it and reward you their native token, AFIT. Also along with AFIT, you will get hive tokens since you have posted and being upvoted. let me give you a short recap - walk, post, and get rewarded! https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/actifit/
Conclusion
*First of all I would like to remind you all that my only motive to post about Actifit was to create awareness about it. Also do your own research before listening to some random guy like me.*
*And secondly, Actifit surely looks a great project among all those move to earn ones, here you don't have to buy some super expensive NFT or do some kind of KYC to get rewarded, make sure to take a look at them if you find them interesting, just like I do!*

APR v/s APY : What are those and their difference
If you are in cryptoverse you must have definitely heard about APY or APR but ever wondered what it is or what's the difference in those two? If you don't know, make sure to read this article to know about them.
*What is APY?*
APY stands for **Annual Percentage Yield**. In other words it is the percentage of how much interest you will get on your staked crypto/assets within a whole a year.
You must have even heard about this on traditional banks specially on savings account where they provide interest on your money which you kept in your account. Normally it's less then 2% but in cryptoverse you can even get an APY upto 3 digits number!
As you can see in the above screenshot, if you stake your crypto known as $GLMR you will get around 510% APY and if you stake $AXS you will get 104% APY!
Now just imagine the difference between 2% AYP and 100% APY, That's how amazing cryptoverse is!
In APY, if you earn any interest on your staked crypto, that extra crypto (Interest) you get won't be counted in the upcoming interest.
For example, suppose if I have staked 0.1 BTC and getting 0.005 BTC everyday, those extra 0.005 BTC won't be counted on my next interest only those 0.1 BTC is the value I will get staked rewards on.
`The formula of calculating APY is : APY= (1 + r/n )n – 1`
Where,
r stands for Annual interest rate
n stands for number of compounding periods
***What is APR?***
APR stands for **Annual Percentage Rate**. Mostly, you can see APR when you are about to take a loan other than cryptoverse.
In APR, The total interest you got is also calculated on your next payout AKA when you will get your next interest.
For example, Suppose if I have staked my 0.1 BTC and I'm getting around 0.003 BTC everyday (or on every payout) so on my next payout I will be getting interest on 0.103 BTC not only 0.1 BTC. That's the advantage of APR, It keeps getting compounded!
As you can see in the above image, I am getting APR of approx. 80% on my $OSMO and 32% on $KAVA.
If we convert that 80.15% APR into APY, It's around 122% APY!
The above screenshot is from this site which can be used to convert the percentage of APR into APY. https://www.aprtoapy.com
`The formula of getting APR is, APR = [(Fees + Interest)/Principal] x (Number of Years) x 100`
***Difference between APR and APY***
So now we know what's APR and what's APY but what are the difference between them? So the answer to this question is “Compounding”
Compounding? How? Well let me explain it, in APY we only get interest on the initial amount invested but in APR we get interest on initial amount invested plus the previous interest we got, hence it keeps on compounding itself and we get more interest compared to last one! Isn't it great?!
Conclusion
*In the end of this post I would just like to say that my only motive to write this post was to create an awareness regarding what is APR and what is APY. I didn't meant to say this is good then another one. This isn't any financial advice and Please DYOR before doing or investing anything or anywhere*

Introducing a Play-To-Earn game : JobTribes
We all know the craze going around about Free-To-Play games AKA blockchain based games, but most of them requires some kind of initial investment so I decided to introduce y'all a free to play game which doesn't requires any kind of investment (AFAIK) and it is kinda easy to play so what are we wating for let's dive in, shall we?
So this game starts with a long introduction type story (which you can skip cause it is too big) where you are born as a reincarnation and are jobless (ouch!) And then you find a Joblord who gives you direction regarding how to play this game and earn their ingame currency.
Basically, This game is a card based game, usually containing 6 amulets (cards) where players fight with their deck of cards with other players or system to win their ingame currency which is later on converted into their native token at the time of withdrawal
THE STARTING PAGE
Before starting the game you need to create a wallet first and a playmining ID, you can read the steps regarding how to create a wallet here https://pprct.net/jobtribes-how-to-start-en/
The game, JobTribes, begins with this homepage, but you will find some other character cause It gets changed according to your first player in your deck, which in mine is Professor! https://jobtribes.playmining.com/en/?utm_source=PlayToEarn.net&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=gamepage
As you can see at the bottom there are 3 options, first one is for PvP (Player V/s Player) which is kinda inactive now cause the tournament hasn't started.
Second is Deap check, this is where you can convert your ingame currency named as Leapcoin into Deapcoin for the withdrawal.
And the third is Quest, here you can play the main game which is further divided into free quest and daily quest.
Just click on any one of them to being your first game and win it!
Clicking on it bring you to your enemies deck where you can see their cards, their level and also you can choose if you want the game to be normal or hard one, just click on “challenge” to begin it.
After clicking on challenge, your main game will begin and after winning that game you will get the ingame currency, leapcoin and some more bonus items which are helpful for levelling up your cards.
Also, don't get worried if you lost the game, you won't loose anything but neither you will get anything so make sure to use your best strategy for winning. You can read more about this game and their rules into their FAQ https://jobtribes.playmining.com/en/faq/
GAMEPLAY
The strategy to play this game is kinda simple if you understand the basics, which is important cause winning and loosing depends on this.
So the Amulets (cards) in this game are divided into 6 attribute as following :
Fire (Red) : Which is strong against nature but weak against water
Nature (Green) : which is strong against water but weak against fire
Water (Blue) : which is strong against fire but weak against nature
Thunder (Yellow) : Which is strong against poison but weak against earth
Poison (Purple) : Which is strong against earth but weak against thunder
Earth (Orange) : Which is strong against thunder but weak against poison.
Sounds too confusing right? Check this picture for better understanding
I hope this picture makes more sense now, even if it doesn't don't worry much cause the above picture is available every time you start the game so that you can adjust your deck as per your enemy has adjusted their deck.
Now you know the different attributes available but what's the point in this? Well just like I told above each amulet has a weakness, so you just have to arrange your deck accordingly!
As you can see above, the card is from purple attribute. So if your enemy has this card in their deck, don't forget to add a card which is from yellow attribute cause they are their weakness. Also don't add any orange one's cause this card and defeat orange card easily making you lose your one player.
As you can see this one is a blue card known as University Professor, isn't she cute? Lol. So you need a green card to defeat this one but don't add any red card, you know the reason why, don't you? Also there are four types of rarity In the amulets as Legendary, Epic, Rare and Common.
**NATIVE TOKEN - DEAPCOIN**
Before moving ahead make sure to read this 2 points about this game and token :
This game requires KYC to withdraw their native token, Deapcoin.
This coin, Deapcoin, is ERC-20 token
At the time of withdrawing your ingame currency, palecoin gets converted into Deapcoin depending the market rates and conversion rates. Also, the withdrawing only happens bi-weekly, you can see the upcoming date on the deapcheck option.
At the time of writing this post (February, 2022) this coins price is $0.0409 and it is available on OKEX and BitTrex exchange only for buying and selling.
**Conclusion**
*At the end of this post I would like to remind you all that my only reason writing this article is to create an awareness about this game named as Jobtribes, I do not advice you all to invest in it without any information, Please exercise due diligence and do your research*
