Voice Social Media Launches On The EOS Blockchain

Voice Social Media Launches On The EOS Blockchain

On Saturday, June 1st, Block.one announced the creation of Voice Social Media. The new social platform will run on the EOS blockchain.

Voice social media hopes to help the users reap more rewards (instead of the platform). Voice will also be open since all the data will be stored using the public chain. This is in contrast to networks like Facebook. Facebook recently announced they are moving in a more privacy-focused direction.

Voice Social Media on EOS

Voice social media is the new exciting blockchain social platform of 2019. But how does it stack up against platforms like Steemit? Steemit is the blockchain based social media platform launched in 2016 by Ned Scott and Dan Larimer. Steemit reached 1 million accounts in two years and exposed new demographics to blockchain technology. Hopefully, Voice social media will have a similar impact and bring even more people to the blockchain life.

From Coindesk:

“[Block.one CEO Brendan Blumer] promised that Voice will do a better job of keeping out bots and trolls than previous social networks, without really going into the mechanics of doing so. Previously, though, Block.one brought on stage a product lead from Yubico, the makers of YubiKey, to talk about ways in which EOS would integrate with WebAuthn, a password-less standard recently approved by the W3C, which governs the worldwide web.

All attendees at the event were given a new YubiKey.At the end of Blumer’s talk, the massive screen behind him exhorted viewers to “Unlike shady algorithms” and “Unfollow being followed.” Then it was Block.one CTO Dan Larimer’s turn.“Social media was intended for good,” said Larimer, who previously co-founded a blockchain-based social media site, Steemit, before leaving for Block.one in 2017. He came on stage to announce a new token, the Voice token. “Everyone who signs up for Voice will get an EOS account,” he said.

The chief mechanic Larimer showed off was one in which users could stake Voice tokens to move to the top of a chain of comments. If someone else staked tokens to go above them, the first user would get their tokens back and then some. This additional pressure on the EOS blockchain should be partially offset by another announcement Larimer made: EOSVM. “This is a WebAssembly engine designed specifically for blockchain,” Larimer said, promising it would run 12-times faster than the original EOSIO software, which was released on June 1, 2018.

 

You can sign up for beta access to Voice social media on their website voice.com. We have signed up for beta access and will post an article with details and feedback on the Voice platform user experience. We will also include the latest info on the Voice Token Distribution. So stay tuned.

STEEM Monsters Is An Epic Blockchain Trading Card Game

STEEM Monsters Is An Epic Blockchain Trading Card Game

STEEM Monsters is a badass new game on the STEEM blockchain! The digital, role-playing, trading card game was created by Jesse Reich.

“Collect and trade cards on the blockchain! Level them up and then compete in individual and Guild PvP Tournaments and EPIC BOSS FIGHTS!”

You can buy cards now on steemmonsters.com! Previously users could only purchase cards with the STEEM cryptocurrency, but now STEEM Monsters is accepting both credit cards and PayPal.

STEEM users are buying these cards up like crazy as they could be worth a pretty penny in the future. We think the card game is pretty revolutionary. We have yet to see someone else create this type of game on a blockchain.

How To Play STEEM Monsters:

A cataclysmic event, known as The Splintering, violently reshaped a once peaceful landscape into six separate kingdoms.

The world was thrust into chaos and war as the inhabitants of the six known Splinters fought for control of what became known as the Splinterlands.

An ancient prophecy foretells of a hero who will reunite the Splinters against the Greater Enemy, saving the world from a near inevitable doom.

Could that hero be you? Choose your Summoner, choose your Monsters, and prepare for battle! The player who builds the best team will find glory on the Battlegrounds, fame on the leaderboards, and fortune in the Grand Tournament!

 

Why Blockchain?

FAST AND FREE

The Steem blockchain has transaction speeds of about 3 seconds, can handle thousands of transactions per second, and zero transaction fees! Unlike other blockchain platforms, that means the only cost is the cards themselves. You can play, buy, sell, and trade at lightning speeds and…for free!

PROVABLE SCARCITY

Thanks to the full transparency of the blockchain’s distributed ledger, it’s easy to see how many of each different card exist in the entire game. So unlike in games like Hearthstone, you can see exactly how rare, and valuable your cards actually are!

TRUE ASSET OWNERSHIP

With the blockchain, your cards are actually yours, and they can only be transfered with your private keys. This means that even the creators of the game cannot take them away from you and you are free to buy, sell, or trade them just like physical trading cards!

VERIFIABLE RESULTS

All of the battle results, and the cards contained in Booster packs, are generated by a published algorithm based on unpredictable data from the blockchain itself. This means that no one, even the creators, can tamper with battle results, or give certain players better cards in packs.
