Bi-weekly Development Updates for D.Buzz - Today: Growing Awareness for HIVE and D.Buzz!
Hello, fans and friends of D.Buzz!
For the last few months, we have been working on getting HIVE, along with D.Buzz promoted and more well-known, not only to the people who are already interested in the game but to the general population as well.
This blog post will be about the progress we have made so far, and what we are going to do next.
As the month of April approaches, we, D.Buzz, are excited to say that we are slowly but surely, making progress towards the goal of promotion and growing awareness for #HIVE.
This month, we have developed a plan to reach out and make connections with influencers, have increased our social media and blog post publications, and have already had a couple of guest appearances online.
One recent example of this is this podcast with D.Buzz co-founder Nathan Senn (@nathansenn), you can listen to it on The Survival Podcast here :

This style of outreach has Proven to be a great tool, and we are seeing the daily users keep increasing, and new members joining every day. We are continuing to line up more of these interviews going forward.
For Example...
Live Interview Tonight (2/21/2021 - 6:00 AM ECT)
Tonight, in fact, you can listen to a live Q&A with Nathan right here :

In this interview, Nathan will be discussing how D.Buzz is a competitor to another larger microblog (that will not be named, but has a bird logo), how to get started on Hive, what's new with D.Buzz, and how you can get up and running with D.Buzz as well.
A History and Our Talking Points.
We also like to clarify and layout our talking points and ideologies to better keep the community informed as to where we are going and what we are developing. Here are some larger topics and points we discussed.
For those who don't know who Nathan Seen is (@nathansenn):
Nathan is an active blockchain developer and has been since 2015. Some of his contributions include but are not limited to Cryptonote/Monero,
Helixchain, Dataloft Cloud & D.Buzz. He is continually pushing the envelope on what can be done on the blockchain.
Wearing this hat he is very much qualified to talk on behalf of our community about various blockchain-related projects and D.Buzz.
What is D.Buzz?
D.Buzz is a decentralized DApp built for social media and micro-blogging, the team behind D.Buzz is composed of developers and authors from around the world who are committed to free speech, and protecting this fundamental human right.
The underlying technology of D.Buzz stems from Bitcoin (a POW chain), but we have built our application on HIVE (A DPOS Chain), which offers a censorship-resistant experience for authors.
Moderating content in a free-speech environment is tricky, our strategy is to develop tools for the community that they can use to judge for themselves what to view and what not to view.
No two people are alike, and the subjective nature of freedom of speech is a complex subject. By allowing each user to justify what is quality content and what is spam, we empower users to make decisions for themselves.
We do reserve the right however to reduce visibility by means of our front end system for content involving:
Phishing
Child Porn
Blatant Scams
Spam-bot-attacks
All this is still viewable to users who choose to view it, with the exception of Child Pornography, this is one topic that will be banned from our front-end completely.
What is Blockchain?
We use the HIVE Blockchain. Along with its immutable distributed ledger (similar to a database, but decentralized) which means the content recorded can not be altered or changed.
What does Decentralization mean?
In a nutshell, decentralization is a system of processes that are outside the control of a central authority, our decentralization comes from having a network of computers around the world that anyone can run (a Decentralized Proof of State system DPOS). The system is transparent with audit abilities and accountability.
Why is Decentralization important?
Decentralization provides ownership to people and their content while preventing their voices from being taken away by centralized powers.
Why is Blockchain important?
Blockchain enables us to make use of trust-less ledger technology, making it nearly impossible for the information to be forged or altered. This creates an environment where history will not be altered and allows for more permanent records.
Why is Free Speech important?
Tyranny reigns when people cannot speak their minds. We believe that freedom of speech is a fundamental human right that everyone should have, no matter what.
What is D.Buzz doing to preserve and expand Free Speech?
Currently, our main efforts are directed towards the development of D.Buzz, and further pushing that as a platform for censorship-resistant content. In addition, we are working to raise awareness about the importance of freedom of speech through other online media.
What is our agenda?
We do not have a political agenda, nor do we wish to take sides in other social or controversial issues. We simply wish to provide a neutral platform for anyone to share their ideas and voice their opinions upon.
We know this was a rather large article but, thank you for reading, and stay tuned next week for more development updates from D.Buzz! :D
