We are all very excited about the potential of ProjectBlank. Many of us feel it will be a true breakthrough for blockchain applications with the potential to attract more mainstream users. In other words, people will use that, not exclusively because of crypto, but because of other factors such as security of account and immutable posts.
The introduction of ProjectBlank will also upgrade Leofinance.io.

It is no secret that most people are not bloggers or excel at writing long form content. For this reason, most of their activities belong on ProjectHope. This will help to remove some of the more questionable content from Leofinance.
While this might seem like a bad thing at first glance, this actually will elevate the quality of Leofinance. That is not to say that the short form posts aren't quality, they just are not a great mixture with long form content. Separating the content will help both applications since they target different types of readers/users/
Also, this opens up the door for so much more on Leofinance.io.
In the past, there was an effort to attract well known bloggers and users from sites like SeekingAlpha. This was met with mixed results, at best. Nevertheless, the idea was leading them on the right path.
Perhaps it is a means of finally achieving this end.
If we see the short form type of posts move to ProjectBlank, we can see those who are more focused upon the long form standing out. This will help the authors who are getting lost in all the different posts. So the step back in total posts will help those who are serious about blogging on financial and crypto topics.
This actually offers the best of both worlds. The short form people will benefit from a thriving, successful application while the bloggers can really make a name for themselves.
As an aside, my prediction is that the value of ProjectBlank, in terms of market cap, will surpass LEO in the short term. Since LEO is being established as the umbrella which different projects are built under, it will take some time for other applications to roll out. For that reason, I could see the microblogging app having more value if it achieves some early success.
Over time, we can Leofinance.io moving to another levels. We even can see additional features added such as subscription services. This would bring another layer of professionalism to the site. Perhaps that will be appealing to those who are in the financial industry who write posts as a means of promoting their businesses. Heck, at this level, another token could even be developed for that to payout to those writers while also giving access to existing Lions.
The umbrella idea holds real possibility. We are rapidly moving towards a world where there is a token for every occasion. Each application/feature could be tokenized, especially if it appeals to different target markets.
Using a tier concept, we can appeal to most any user. At the same time, we can enrich the different users at each level, fulfilling the needs that all have.
Ultimately, all of this can feed into a marketplace (Leoshop) which will create a circular economy which provides the tokens and a place to spend them. In fact, this could be a situation where the Leoshop is complimented by an Etsy type store. The Leoshop could focus upon financial products/services while the other is open to a wider audience with any products people want to host there.
We could see all of this taken to another level if these sites become data aggregators similar to Coingecko or Coinmarketcap. For the rest of finance, we could look to add stock to become similar to Yahoo Finance.
From the beginner to the expert, Leofinance would have the potential to fulfill the needs of the entire spectrum. This would lift the entire ecosystem to a level beyond what most are considering right now. At one end, we could offer what the big boys do while also catering to those who simply want to toss a few charts up for others to see.
This all starts with ProjectBlank. It is the first step in a long process of advancement of this ecosystem.
Leofinance is going to provide a great deal for all involved. Hang on gang, the fun is just getting started.

This 💯
Exclusivity is a great way to cultivate the high quality crypto & finance content that we all want to see on LeoFinance.
When people go to Instagram, they expect pictures/videos and not very much text. When people go to Facebook, they expect longer form written content and videos.
When you go to https://leofinance.io, you should expect to read/watch longer form content that is curated for quality and relevance in the crypto and finance industries. Web3 Seeking Alpha.
When you go to ProjectBlank, you should expect to see a melting pot of ideas and perspectives culminated in a short-form style of communication. Tokenized Twitter on the blockchain.
The cross-over here is massive as we can use ProjectBlank to drive new users into this ecosystem from outside of Hive and even the crypto space. Selling people on this platform will be far easier than any other application on Hive because the purpose (and UI) is very straightforward: Twitter with Web3 properties (immutability, decentralized data storage, tokenized rewards ... - depending on who your audience is at the time).
From there, we cultivate our new users and teach them about ProjectBlank and how it works to their advantage. Over time, we filter these users for the ones who also like longer form content relevant to crypto and finance.
"oh, I can sign in with the same account and post/read high quality crypto content on LeoFinance's other application?"
The mission of LeoFinance has always been to bring in new users from outside of the current ecosystem. We've already managed to create a steady stream of growing sign ups via LeoInfra (which is growing by a factor of 2x + per month since we started it), but there is a potential for so much more.
I agree with the entire idea of your article. ProjectBlank will elevate LeoFinance.io to the next level. Continuous stream of new users who are later filtered into the more "hardcore" application for high quality crypto/finance content.
Exciting times. The more I play with ProjectBlank in the dev environment, the more excited I get 🚀

Hi.
We have been trying to contact you for months in Slack and Discord but we have never received any reply.
Lots of good things happening. I dont know if you are aware but people are excited for Projectblank.
They hide it well.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am quite excited about the development of ProjectBlank. The only thing that bothers me is whether the short posts, that's if they'd appear on the Hive front end, will not be downvoted as spams. How will @hivewatchers, for instance, respond to an account that "tweets" ten times a day and earn a reward of up to $10 per post? I will really love you to share your thoughts on this.

@taskmaster4450le @gandhibaba @khaleelkazi
If it will post an effortless copy of Tweets or copypasta of content from around the internet, these posts are very likely going to end up on our blacklist. And they are very likely to be downvoted to zero by the community.
"Right now Hive is in a state where we're moving away from the remnant of the damage Steemit Inc contributed to on Steem. We're taking a versatile blockchain and ensuring it's not a toxic dump for scammers. This will support investment and result in profits for users and dapps.
This is why we're all placing so much emphasis on:
Unfortunately, this means that every project needs to take measures to prevent exploitation."
Please try to avoid ending up with Project Blank as dbuzz did. DBuzz is now improving its app so the ecosystem is not spammed with low quality, junk posting. They will introduce a mandatory text field with minimum character input (which has to be original content, not copypasta/plagiarism). Taking an example from Actifit. As they explained in a recent dev update:
https://hive.blog/hive-139531/@dbuzz/d-buzz-bi-weekly-development-update-report-vol-30
Thanks for the clarification regarding your stand/policy regarding this, very much appreciated.
Unfortunately I'm in the category of mediocre writer and I would feel more comfortable creating short content on the new platform.
Funnily enough I'm enjoying much more reading long finance posts like I can find here (or SeekingAlpha as you mentioned).
That's great to know that LeoFinance will step up even more ! Looking forward to the next announcement of announcement.

That is okay you make up for it with your commenting.
And the new app will really be up your alley.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Fully agree with the shorter form content moving over on to ProjectBlank and I instead see LeoFinance becoming like the quality news beacon of crypto, stocks and investment news on a higher level. (Which means I need to step up my own game!) Overall very excited for this simply because I love when a plan is in action instead of a stagnate blockchain like so many others are. It's time to innovate, grow and thrive!

This is true . We are often talking like this is the peak / saturation point of hive but in reality this is the beginning of a new era . 2021 is the start of Hive era.

I definitely do agree that most people prefer short-term content. In fact, I prefer short form content more usually to promote something and a link to a long term content for more information. There is only so much time in the day so I prefer a summary and if I am truly interested, I will look into finding more information.

Today all over the world for all the globalization and technology in our favor, time is something very valuable.
The "free" time for example that we had 20 years ago does not compare with just current days. That is why everything we can do quickly and save time becomes very advantageous.
Short messages will be a real success and many people here will benefit from this new social networking format. Of course, there will also be people who will be able to manage both modalities.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I subscribe to all of that. Although my content mostly consists in blog posts, I will definitely appreciate microblogging for the ease of use and speed of spreading the word. Sometimes you just gotta be there and put out a few phrases. I don't know if you noticed as well, but Leofinance doesn't have much spam. Spammers don't survive in here because they're not rewarded. A whole world is being created on Leofinance and it feels great to be a part of it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I definitely welcome ProjectBlank - been looking forward to it all this while!
This way if I wish to post Twitter-like content, I won't feel judged in any way because the entire platform facilitates that. Right now, I still do so but am slightly hesitant lest others take offence (if they have an internal standard of a post needing to have a XXX minimum word limit).
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
ProjectBlank is going to eliminate that. It is why it will be such a breakthrough application. We will see things moving to an entirely different mindset.
It is going to be wonderful to see what you post.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I feel the same way. Well said.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hmm, it's not the first post you mix ProjectBlank and ProjectHope names. :)
Are you suggesting this name or this is going to be it?
To me it makes sense, as this path is the hope for social media's future. Not what centralized social media offer.
There was / is a ProjectHope on Steem / Hive though.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No as I stated in another post, ProjectHope was one of my customers for years in my old life and I just something absentmindedly type it.
If it is, that is an awful name for an app. What we would be doing when posting...hoping? lol

Missed that.
Great point... for a microblogging app. Didn't think that far, lol.

I dont know a lot but I can offer an educated guess and claim that Khal isnt going to name it projecthope.
At least I really really hope not.
It will be a major letdown if it is. lol

Actually, I'd rather have a name that has no "project" in it. But I guess we'll have to wait and see. And not even so long already.

It has a short name, that's for sure as the guys doing the round table discussions have mentioned it, then Khal edited the whole video, beeped out the name, but it seemed short, like 4 or 5 letters :)

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
From what I have seen, all the projects release by Leo have been well done.
No reason to think this will be different.
It is great to give separate platforms to different types of folks, and
some us may like both.
Each platform can attract their own crowd, that may be where the challenge lies.
I tend to be a short talker, so I am certainly looking forward to the release
I also have this view that ProjectBlank will be able to meet all possible tastes. It will change the way we can see a social network of short messages where there would be no censorship and freedom would be the main priority. The world needs this and LeoFinance will present us with this new project.
I wonder when we will be able to have significant membership in the future ... Who knows if at least 1% of the people who stay directly on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube could migrate here. The impact would be truly enormous.
I am very excited to see how this microblog can work, I know that Noise.Cash has its own mechanics and system, but I believe that the LEO team will bring us something much better.
The coming weeks promise to be fun and exciting here. 😉👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I'm looking forward to the new platform project blank. I am hoping it has traction. It will be an addition to the Leo ecosystem.
By the way, there is an issue with branding I just want to touch. Leo and even hive share the same mine with other existing projects, is this not conflicting in a way? Is it something we can change?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
There is some conflict that is why on twitter it is best to refer to wleo for the LEO token.
As for Hive that is conflicted with a private company, so it is a bit different. Yes it is called hive blockchain and is a mining company but too late there.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's true, the quaility will improve and content discovery will be easier and more intuitive.
Can't fucking wait.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is right that not everyone can write long farm content but microblogging will give such people an opportunity to share their thoughts in limited words. I don't know whether it will be called quality content but what I can say is that it will certainly bring more people here on the blockchain and we will have two forms of content one will be the same that we have been doing here another will be microblogging with the limited number of words.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am interrsted in leoshop. If it can be etsy like, there will be benefit to leo and hive users. I think making transaction using cc and paypal will be difficult for some countries. Verified paypal and cc are complicated payment system in my country. With leo and hive payment make transaction easier.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
projectblank will be a gate that will bring more people to Leofinance and Hive in general. From there some people will start playing some games that built on Hive and others will join other Hive communities. Only good will come out of this if ofc it is carefully implemented.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Is it something like microblogging sir? I am not a blogger, and I prefer short form contents, thus I'm only posting on D.buzz.

Yes it is. But there are advantages to what is being developed as opposed to Dbuzz.

My guess is that ProjectBlank will probably be the most untimidating (to those new to crypto) of all the apps using the Hive blockchain and maybe the one with the most users eventually because of this. I'm so used to Hive and crypto now that I forget sometimes how deep the learning curve is to normal people. The idea of sorting out short form and long form content makes complete sense. It will remove most of the drama regarding what people consider to be "good" content and "bad" content.

Low learning curve.

Not only that Project Blank will improve Leo Finance, but it will improve Hive blockchain as well. It will be like a wave affecting positively in this case everything that is related to it. Thus, we should take our surfing boards and ride the wave as much as we can! :)

I think project blank is the "beginning" of all the good stuff. And by that I mean "mass adoption". It will be the first step but I think it will hard for people to come up with an excuse not to join.

I'm excited. You guys don't really ever miss with what you're doing here. I'm looking forward to the other platform. I, like many others, think it will be a great fit for me.

I must say that I am quite excited about being able to start bringing some of my sculpture community to the exciting world of tokenised content creation. I like the long form content that Hive and LeoFinance allow but I don't know of others that would suit. I see Projectbalnk as a nice gateway drug to the world of crypto. At the start, I am sure it will be very crypto-centric but I hope we can bring in those of other interests and support them to stay.

I am very much looking forward to ProjectBlank. I won't be shooting blanks. My goal will be to create conversations to sink information into fertile grounds.

I think it will be a good starting point for rookie crypto people like myself. I still don't have much knowledge or experience to write a long, in-depth post on finance and/or crypto but I'd definitely like to start small and build my way up as I learn.

Microblogging will be awesome.
I think my only concern (so far) is that some people want to write anything good just to try to earn "easy money".
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
So I was thinking about maybe putting some ideas for WarzonePolitics into ProjectBlank. Twitter is the place to be for politics and it is microblogging as well.
I'm not sure how to implement the politics so it is not annoying the users who don't want to do politics. Maybe as another theme/mode you can activate
