ProjectBlank Q&A: How Will the Airdrop & Snapshot Work?

in LeoFinance4 years ago (edited)

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


ProjectBlank is one of our most anticipated new releases. The LeoFinance team has been working on a number of different projects but this one is by far the largest in terms of scope and scale.

There are a lot of intricacies with this new project. Many of these are backend infrastructure developments that we've spent a lot of time on to get right. We've seen microblogging projects come and go on Hive but with the advent of new apps like Noise.Cash which purport to be microblogging on Web3, we believe that Hive is missing out on a massive opportunity.

Microcontent is the new wave in social media. From instagram to snapshot to Tik Tok, the world is moving further and further away from the middle. Some people like very long-form content - i.e. the popularity of 2-3 hour podcasts exploding - but most people like short-form content. The quick 15 second video or 240 character tweet.

Microcontent needs a home on Hive and we believe that there are certain key structural pieces that this needs. In addition to connecting directly to Twitter and serving as a sort of "interface" for Web2 (alongside the Web3 Hive features), we also believe that tokenization plays a key role in a properly rewarded community that doesn't pull on the HIVE tokenomics.

With a new token comes the need for a good initial distribution. LeoFinance has more than 78% of all tokens staked (with only about 2.5% held liquid in Hive wallets). ProjectBlank's new token will be airdropped exclusively to LEO token holders and users who engage actively on the site.

We've been hush hush about many different aspects of ProjectBlank. The token airdrop is not the core focus of the project, but it is one topic that gets brought up a lot. In this clip from the LEO Roundtable, I answer a few questions about how it's going to work. Going into some of the specifics (but not all of them).

Throughout this week and next, there will be a slow drip of content about ProjectBlank as we slowly unveil what we've built leading up to the official launch.

Damn. Thought it was another round-table. Put the cat out, got comfy. Made a fresh coffee; not even 6 mins.

Just a clip on this one ;)

We've got a healthy mix of people who like the long-form 2hr podcasts and those who keep asking for clips. The quick way to check is either on a podcast app (where we only post the longer ones) or in the title on posts here on LeoFinance.io - if it says "LEO Roundtable #__" then it's the full episode 🦁

After watching the roundtable I had a couple of questions about Project Blank. I was thinking about the various social media platforms and Twitter in particular since you're basing Project Blank mostly on that and was wondering if there will be an optimum image size.

It's been a while since I've posted on the main stream platforms but when I did I had to redo my images to make them fit each platform, Instagram being square and twitter being oblong for example. I don't know if this is still the case but it got me to wondering what will be optimum for Project Blank.

The image is important to me since I will be posting art amongst other things.

It depends a lot on the UI. We'll likely have a very similar optimization style to Twitter - which allows our users to take advantage of one of the main features of the UI: use ProjectBlank.io as a dual interface for Twitter and the Hive blockchain simultaneously.

Creat news we hope people come un mass yo here AND enjoy the microblogging.

I've always wanted to microblog on Hive but there has never been a viable use case that allows us to do it without "spamming" our feeds (spamming in Hive terms since most want to see content pulling on the HIVE rewards pool with x minimum amount of words).

I am Very Excited for What This Means for The LEO Community. Thank You @khaleelkazi for the Information and for all you do in making Hive Better and Better

I've cheated yesterday and jumped directly to the details of #projectblank at the end. :)

It will be definitely a breakthrough point for Leo and Hive to have this microblogging as most people love to interact but have a very short attention span.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

While everyone of course want's in on the air drop and it's a hot topic. What's really going to blow them away is just how powerful this new system is going to be and why you should be using it constantly every day for HOURS lol

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Very exciting. I know that myself and many other people will be very happy when this finally launches. I can only imagine the amount of work that needs to happen on the back end to get everything just about perfect!

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I'm glad we;re not getting announcements announcing the announcement anymore. We're getting closer and closer. As I said, this will be my birthday present and looks like my dream is going to come true.

This is definitely a game changer and a much needed one. Great job Leo team! Can't wait to see the engagement and the onboarding.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I'm very excited about the upcoming "ProjectBlanc", but I'm wondering now ... does one need to have a Twitter account? My Twitter account got suspended, and so far I haven't been able to get access back into my account.

Besides that ... Keep up the good job!

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Thanks for this information, the last week has been extremely exciting. I can't believe I didn't know much about LeoFinance until recently, but I can see the hard work going into this community. I am excited for the airdrop! Thanks for the heads up. Time to pack our bags!

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Great to have you in the community. #ProjectBlank has been a lot of work and the airdrop is obviously one of the more anticipated ideas from the community. I'm excited to unveil the tech that's working behind the scenes. True microblogging on Hive is going to change the game

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Interesting to hear that #ProjectBlank is still on cue for February 2021. Just two more weeks and it's an exciting news.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Interesting stuff. I'm accumulating some more Leo in anticipation of this airdrop.
Looking forward to seeing how the micro-blogging will work out :)

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Time to accumulate more Leo and powerup. Excited about ProjectBlank.

Godspeed guys! Great job

Nice and useful update, @khaleelkazi.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I am new to leo finance, in fact I am new to the crypto world and with the short time I have been here I feel comfortable, I will try to enter the airdrop and the platform's projects in order to support growth. Thanks.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I just clicked on play, hopefully to find out that Miner HODLers get some tokes as well.

🙂 Very well described.

Exciting times. Will patiently wait for the upcoming launch. Keep up the good work :<)

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

It would be great to see a video or blog on Tokenomics for this :-)

I've really been looking forward to projectblank. Can't wait. Hope my smallish stake is enough to get the airdrop.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Some people like very long-form content - i.e. the popularity of 2-3 hour podcasts exploding - but most people like short-form content. The quick 15 second video or 240 character tweet.

Couldn't agree more, people have a very short attention span nowadays because there is a plethora of information regarding anything and everything. Microcontent is the future, and ProjectBlank will take network activity to the next level.

Looking forward to it!

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

True words.

It took me a while to accept this reality but I finally did. I've always praised myself for being a scholar and for studying in detail every subject or piece of information that I'd get my hands on but with the current inflow of information nowadays, that's just not efficient. Now I'm very selective about the things I want to understand in profundity. For everything else, microcontent is good enough.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Same here, I always consume as much information as I can get my hands on when I'm interested in something, but I've realized that this is not the case for every single one of us. Some people are just too lazy to read long articles, and prefer to just move on without getting the answers to their questions.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

AgreeD

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Wow, I am considering selling my $pool tokens to get onto this airdrop, a lot of thinking to do.

It has been exciting to follow along and watch this project develop @khaleelkazi, but maybe I've been asleep under a rock, with respect to one very specific aspect of ProjectBlank: Is this coming to market as a LeoFinance (Crypto/finance niche) microblogging venue, or a all-subjects venue? You often mention HIVE needing to be in this content format, and yet all the dialogue seems to be happening through the niche lens of LeoFinance. On the other hand, the fact that it will have its own token (rather than LEO) suggests an entity adjunct to, but separate from LeoFinance... but the airdrop is to LEO holders...

Just curious what the scope is likely to be.

=^..^=

I truly believe you it's been a lot of work, but what you're doing is amazing. Hive has never had anything similar, dbuzz doesn't even come close to this microblogging app, and the need for such an app was pretty clear. I am excited to put this to work. Taking the consideration the speed to which everything happens in crypto there will definitely be a demand for microblogging. My only fear is regarding spam. So far Leofinance has been quite clear of spam and I wouldn't want project blank to be the other way.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I can't wait for this! Project Blank is the project I'm most excited about. Hope you don't run out of account creation tokens though. That would be good problem to have but I wonder what the solution would be if it ever came to that. Hmmm....

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Much respect guys. Excited for the launch later this month. Will there be a mobile app? I mean, like application on playstore etc.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

It's good to see things are working on schedule. I like the approach your taking by airdropping the new tokens for Leo Power, WLeo Holders, and users who actively engaged on LeoFinance. Now's a great time than ever to power up more Leo as the price will probably increase with the upcoming announcements. Only good things ahead. Keep it up!

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

This amazing thing is about to kick off. I can't wait to post on ProjectBlank. The ability to interface with twitter, i think, is a massive plus. It means that content that normally do not appear here will not only find their way to hive but twitter users who are also blockchain and crypto enthusiasts will find reason to utilize the new platform.

One of the beauties of this time for me is that i have had three years to build my understanding and value of the blockchain space and i believe that though i am not as grounded as others on what obtains on a blockchain based platform, i have the requisite knowledge to utilise the opportunity. I hope other persons take advantage of how the Hive chain is opening up and not only build their crypto portfolio but also create amazing projects such as what @leofinance is doing with ProjectBlank

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

This is welcoming news. It's actually got me thinking about powering down Hive and going straight Leo finance.

I have a mixture of different things I like to blog about and micro blogging looks like it will expand beyond finance meaning I'm going to be able to upload my snaps.

I've invested hard over the past few days picking up more Leo in anticipation for project blank launch.

I'm at a 0.1 upvote which is welcoming for my curation of bloggers.

Let's do this!

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Thanks for sharing @khaleelkazi
Exciting times! Looking forward to Blanking (instead of Buzzing)finance related stuff.

I've just undelegated the LEO i had delegated to leo.voter so i can power them up. Does undelegating work the same as for Hive, so i can stake it in ?4 days time?

If you are delegating LEO it should already be staked. So it should count

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Really, that would be great as i'm earning several LEO per day with delegation.

A question-
Will we have Project Blank mobile app? It would be lot easier to share, comment and reply using your phone when we are microblogging.
A comment -
It would be great if users can bring the engagement from Discord to Project Blank. It would be a huge boost.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Nice interactive session as @rollandthomas had the right questions to ask. I think this settles it. So basically the token goes live, the UI goes live and the airdrop is released too? I was thinking there would be a pre-token sale really. This is food to know. Hopefully I can buy some token when it goes live.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Time to stake some Leo....im anticipating the launch of project blank. It has been talked about so much these past few weeks an d I can't wait to see things materialise. Cheers!

Any bullet points for those not able to watch long form content videos? ;)

This is going to be really awesome! I feel really sad because I didn't made more content for Leo to stake a little bit more in the time it was born, but I was kindly affraid of not have the content that people bring here, then I understand that anyone can post on Leo, you just have to investigate, read a lot and then prepare a great opinion about everything within the crypto world.

I feel happy for the work that you're doing because you're making a lot of noise within Twitter, people is excited to post in Leo and I'm excited too for the same reason, I feel it's like a fever that makes you want to grow up in here and become a powerful lion.

PS: One of my favorite animals IRL is Lion, lol, even my baseball team here in Venezuela it's called "Los Leones del Caracas" (The Caracas's Lions).

I really wish a lot of success for everyone that's involved within this awesome project and I can't wait to see Project Blank live! I'll be making a lot of content to celebrate this changes!

Good vibes and blessings from Caracas, Venezuela.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Very excited about the launch! I think this project will be a game-changer!

Great video too, helped me with some of my questions

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Maybe this is a dumb question which has been answered before - Does LEOMM staked gets 4 times more tokens airdropped than LEOM ?

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I’m curious to know the distribution model.

How many projectblank tokens do we get per Leo power, per wleo in the lp etc
