We take a break from discussing Hive5 while we wait to hear from Kencode. So we took a look at FUTO and what they are trying to accomplish. We strongly encourage you to check them out.

Especially if you are Hive developer.

Today, Unkle Bonehead & Allen Taylor continue the discussion of Hive5. Mostly how income is effected by up votes & down votes.

Next week's episode is going to probably be twice as long as normal when we discuss how much the income is effected by up votes & down votes.

You can always find the latest post about Hive5 at http://hive5.info

We do these episodes live on https://defluence.org and https://cast.garden/c/defluence

We will soon be hosting them in our discord server where you can ask your questions live or voice your own opinions & thoughts on Hive5.

Not a member of our discord server? Well, you are in luck. I have an invite link for you below.

https://discord.gg/unhuufUYEV

Important note on this episode Unkle Bonehead forgot to turn his mic on for the recording so only Ken & Allen could hear him and the recording software could not. As much of the blank spaces where he was talking is edited out so it does still sound like a coherent conversation between Allen & Ken.

In this episode we had Kencode on to help us explain what exactly Hive5 is. This will end up being a series of episodes because there is a lot to cover.

We invite & encourage any and all Hive users to comment with their thoughts and ideas. This is an open discussion that has to be done. So please, weigh in with thoughtful ideas and concerns. Whether you are a former, current or prospective Hive user.

In this episode Allen & Unkle Bonehead talk about the Decentralized Hive Fund (DHF). What it is, why it's needed and what it's supposed to accomplish.

Some important things to remember:

- Read the proposal before voting on it.

- Make sure you agree that it will benefit the blockchain and isn't just a paycheck to the people making it.

- Not all proposals are funded because of the whales. It is possible to for a proposal to be funded without any whale votes.

The thing we are trying to raise awareness here is that most new users and many veteran Hive users dont even know that the DHF exists and it is an integral part of the ecosystem.

All users should read and understand the proposals. It's part of the way we control the blockchain and not some VC capital company.

How RSS frees us from Ads & Centralization

Today kencode from Agorise joined us to discuss how RSS feeds, while a somewhat old technology that was shut out of small and independent content creators' toolboxes is making a rather quick comeback.

And it's coming back in a big way that the big tech walled gardens of Web2 dont like. We get a sneak preview of some new features coming to CastGarden and even find time to talk about the HiveCast propsal.

Today Allen & Unkle Bonehead discus Social Tokens.

What they are, who they are for, how to create them & why someone would want one.

A big take away from this is that when considering Social Tokens is to not look at it as an investment opportunity. As with most things in Web3 one of the core fundamental priciples is the content creator.

Remember in Web3 you support the creator and not the content. Web3 should be about people not investments.

Ecency released a major update earlier this week and it's probably the best they've ever done. They gave us Decks 2.0 and introduced Ecency.Waves. A new short form competitor to Dbuzz & Leothreads. But rather than stop the competition they welcomed them in. You can post to Dbuzz, LeoThreads AND Waves all from the same place!

Our minds are blown!

This is now officially our favorite app for Hive! Very highly recommend you check it out.

Today Allen & Unkle Bonehead discuss the pros & cons of NFT's vs Voting rewards as a #Web3 monetization model.

Hive upvotes

PROS

1) If you build a solid network of supporters, you can sustain a long-term income

2) There are multiple ways to earn on the blockchain

3) Participants can monetize from post creation, curation, and comments

4) Beyond comment monetization, participants can earn by developing new dapps

5) The highest earning content is not about crypto

6) The more you earn, the more potential you have to earn

7) You can take your earnings and put it into savings with a 20% APY

8) You can buy HIVE and increase your earning power more quickly

9) No fees

10) On Hive, you can have ongoing income as long as you remain active

CONS

1) Comment creators and curators are limited to 7 days for payouts

2) Whales and downvote cabals can drive away good content creators using bully tactics

3) There is a learning curve

4) It's hard work to find an audience for your content because you don't have algorithms helping you

5) There's no mechanism for choosing how much you earn

--- NFT monetization

PROS

1) NFTs give you the power to earn on a secondary market

2) You set the price for your NFTs, which gives you the ability to influence how much you earn

3) There's no limit to how many NFTs you can create

4) There are multiple blockchains that allow you to create NFTs (Polygon, Solana, Ethereum, Optimism, Hive, etc.)

5) It's fun to create NFTs

6) NFTs can be created in a variety of formats (music, video, literary, visual, podcast, etc.)

7) NFTs allow creators to assign ownership of assets to other parties

8) NFTs can also have utility, which makes them more valuable to the people holding them

CONS

1) NFTs must be visual or they are not likely to sell

2) NFTs are still a nascent market and not altogether doing well in the downcycle

3) NFTs do produce ongoing income whereas; rather, creators must rely on selling NFTs and those purchased appreciating in value and selling on a secondary market, none of which are guaranteed

4) Network fees can be profit prohibitive

Today's episode was spurred, as usual, by the Cryptocracy newsletter. One of the stories Allen reported on was about what is the perfect internet?
So that's what Allen & I riffed about. Thinking it would be a short 15 minute conversation.
We were wrong. The conversation went on for nearly 45 minutes.
As you will see, the answer to that question is not easily answered.

In case you've been living under a rock. Elon Musk completed the deal and now owns Twitter. There has been, what appears to be, a massive amount of people having a meltdown about this and it's creating a mass exodus to the #Fediverse alternative to Mastodon. 

Unkle Bonehead & Allen Taylor dive into this topic and discuss:

The pro's & con's of the Fediverse

Is it really better as in decentralized and secure?

Is it any more Free Speech than what Twitter's offering? Both before & after Elon-gate (?) Musk-over(?)
