Reviewhunt: A Platform that provide a win-win situation for Bounty Hunters and Makers

September 10, 2019 (updated September 10, 2019) Published by

New products and services keep unfolding day by day as they are brought into existence by various companies and developers. However, only a few of those products get the required hype to reach a wider audience and this may be due to poor digital marketing and so on. The entire team of Hunt Platform took note of this particular challenge and they decided to come up with Reviewhunt.

Reviewhunt create the avenue for Hunters to get rewarded for accomplishing some certain task listed by the makers on the reviewhunt platform, thereby creating the buzz and fostering the hype Makers (such as companies and developers) need for their products and services to get to a wider audience.

With Reviewhunt, it is a win-win situation for both the hunters and the makers. Another important you should note is that hunters get paid in form of the Hunt Platform native utility token known as HUNT token.

Final Thought

Reviewhunt is a platform that has come to offer a win-win situation for both the hunters and the makers. The hunters get rewarded for their actions while the makers get the hype they need for their products. Thereby, making it a profitable one for both sides.

Understanding the new rewarding curve…

September 10, 2019 (updated September 10, 2019) Published by

I have been observing for a while how the new HF21/22 is affecting my Voting Power at steemworld… Actually, I have seen some weird numbers regarding the worth of the very same percentage of Voting Power produces depending on which post I am upvoting on…

For instance, a couple of hours ago I saw that one follower (@kokoliso) decided to upvote with the very same VOTING POWER on two of my posts written yesterday.

According to steemworld, the two actions were done at the same moment or at the same minute… @kokoliso upvoted me with the same voting weight, first on a post that was earning 1.01$ and then on a post that was earning $4.94

What is weird here is that seems that the effect on the post rewards was different. As you can see in the previous image, same Voting Power seems that produced $0.01 on the first and less rewarded post and $0.02 on the second that was more rewarded…

So, I have done the same action myself upvoting 2 posts of equal earned amounts applying the same voting weight:

As expected here, 35% of my maximum Voting weight produced the same effect on two posts of equal earned value…The value of my upvote on both of them is worth $0.02 (Curation: 0.048 SP)

But what happens in case I use the same voting weight on an already high rewarded post?

Simply my upvote impact on the post is double in this case, $0.04 for the same 35% Weight Upvote !!! (Curation: 0.058 SP)

And why is it possible?

It is possible because the famous new rewarding curve which has a chart similar to the following:

If you use STEEMNOW from @penguinpablo you can find another useful tool to understand this point. There you can get the following chart:

Essentially, in that tool you can play with the MIN and MAX SP values, by default it shows the rewarding curve depending on the accumulated shares produced by the upvoters , so, for instance, if your post is voted 100% weight by one only account with 80000 SP, or the equivalem sum of upvotes with smaller SP, the chart will be the following:

In grey is drafted the old rewarding curve, in blue the new rewarding curve…

As you can see 80000 SP voting at 100% would worth $1.061 in the old curve and $0.955 in the current rewarding curve… 80K SP vote is still losing rewards…

How much should worth the post to be upvoted in order to be profitable for the upvoter without losing or, even better, getting further more than the expected linear rewarding voting system?

The post starts to be “profitable” starting if the sum of SP of the upvoters reaches 150K SP or, at the current STEEM internal price around $1.98 as you can see below…

From that value of $1.99, your UPVOTE IS WORTH HIGHER and so, it also multiplies the author and curation rewards of upvoters…

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is image-9.png

I think this example demonstrates who is winning now, Big Stakers, some shy Bid-Bot users and a few succeed authors…

Now the question is… How do we solve the problem of becoming visible in order to be considered a good author to support?

Should they buy 150000 STEEM and power up?

Should they buy Bid-Bot upvotes?

I frankly do not know… I am happy with the downvote effect over abusers and also glad with the Steem Proposal System and 50/50 author and curators rewards… But this rewarding curve is really too aggressive…

Wall Street Secrets Revealed #4 – The Inverted Yield Curve…The Greatest Recession Predictor (Remix)

September 10, 2019 Published by

The financial theme in 2019
has been the inverted yield curve.  Why
is it so important…it’s only predicted the 5 or 6 recessions, meaning it has
given no false signals going back 50 years. 
Another signal of a pending recession came last week when the US purchasing-managers
index contracted to 49.9 in August from 50.4 in July, the first such shrinkage
in almost 10 years.

The discussion of inverted yield curves is so important that I decided to repost my post on the topic from more than a year ago…withouth further ado.

A bond is like an IOU given to you by a bank. When you lend the bank money, they’ll give you back that same amount at a later time along with a fixed amount of interest. For example, if you bought a two-year bond for $100 with a 2% annual return on it, you get $104.04 back after two years. Bonds have a number of benefits that justify the small rate of return. Government bonds are stable investments and bonds issued by the US government have never defaulted…YET.

The term yield curve refers to the relationship between the short- and long-term interest rates of fixed-income securities issued by the U.S. Treasury. Typically, short-term interest rates are lower than long-term rates reflecting higher yields for longer-term investments due to the higher risks associated with long dated maturities. Also, in a growing economy, investors demand higher yields at the long end of the curve to compensate for the opportunity cost of investing in bonds versus other asset classes.

As the economic cycle begins to slow, the upward slope of the yield curve tends to flatten as short-term rates increase and longer yields stay stable or decline slightly. As concerns of an impending recession increase, investors tend to buy long Treasury bonds as a safe harbor from falling equities markets. As more and more investors begin to buy long-term bonds, the Federal Reserve lowers the yield rates. Since investors aren’t buying a lot of short-term U.S. Treasury bonds, the Fed will make those yields higher to attract them. Eventually, the yield on short-term bills rises higher than the yield on long-term bonds, and the yield curve inverts.

The inverted yield curve is the single greatest indicator of a coming bear market. The inverted yield curve has predicted the past 5 recessions going back to the late 1970’s. Every time the yield curve turns negative, a recession has occurred in the near future. Since 1956, equities have peaked six times after the start of an inversion in the yield curve and the economy has fallen into recession within seven to 24 months.

The most recent inverted yield curve first appeared in August 2006, as the Fed raised short-term interest rates in response to overheating equity, real estate and mortgage markets. The inversion of the yield curve preceded the peak of the S& P 500 in October 2007 by 14 months and the official start of the recession in December 2007 by 16 months, eventually leading to the Great Recession in which the S&P 500 dropped 50%.

This next inversion is upon us right now. Based on history, I’m predicting the yield curve will invert by the end of the year, the Markets will peak in 2019 and we will be in a recession in 2020 (a period of temporary economic decline during which trade and industrial activity are reduced, generally identified by a fall in GDP in two successive quarters).

However, this time around balance sheets of the Fed and Treasury extremely over leveraged right from the start. Our national debt over $20 trillion dollars and the Fed’s balance sheet at $4.5 trillion. Thus, when the yield curve inverts for the third time this century, you can expect unprecedented chaos in markets and the economy to follow shortly after because the yield curve will not only invert at a much lower starting point than at any other time in history. This represents a huge opportunity for those that can identify these inflection points and know where to invest. Be sure I will be here to tell you those opportunities and how to protect your capital.

Patients seem willing, but few taking part in telehealth, poll finds

September 10, 2019 (updated September 10, 2019) Published by

Patients seem willing, but few taking part in telehealth, poll finds (HealthcareDive)

  • According to a survey from Telehealth vendor American Well, 66% of consumers are willing to try telehealth, but only 8% have actually done it and 17% of those interested in virtual care were unsure whether the service was covered by their insurance.
  • Another study (from health system Intermountain Healthcare) found that only 20% of people had heard of telehealth, which American Well called “a tremendous opportunity”.
  • Additionally, two thirds of Americans are using devices that help them monitor their personal health and 50% use health apps.

Berenberg view

  • Telehealth is clearly increasing in popularity – the number of physicians reporting telemedicine as a skill rose 20% per year over the past three years according to a study from professional medical network Doximity – with younger generations the most likely to make use of the new virtual care services (surprise).
  • According to a 2018 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), virtually conducted doctor-patient visits increased by 261% yearly between 2015 and 2017.  
  • However, the article also highlights the well-known gap between people saying they are willing to try something new and people actually then trying it – as well as the continued efforts required in consumer education.
  • The two key groups telemedicine providers have to convince are mothers (since they still handle the majority of their childrens’ doctor visits) and seniors (a tricky one, given the inherent reluctance to use the tech, but a lucrative and growing market which could probably be accessed by targeting the younger relatives who look after their care rather than the seniors themselves).

? Stellar to Airdrop 2 Billion XLM Crypto Tokens Worth $120 Million

Chat with your friends – and get paid to do it.


The Stellar Development Foundation and messaging service Keybase announced Monday a 2 billion XLM airdrop, the largest in Stellar’s five-year history, worth roughly $120 million. Over the next 20 months, Keybase users can expect monthly airdrops of 100 million XLM.


Keybase currently has 300,000 active users across its various services, according to the company.
“All you have to do is have an authenticated Keybase account, and your XLM will appear in your wallet – automatically, every month, for as long as the airdrop continues,” according to a draft blog post shared with CoinDesk.

?Decentralized Brave Browser Tops Chrome in Google Play Rankings in Japan

The popularity of the decentralized blockchain-enabled web browser Brave continues to grow as it has outranked other browsers in Google Play rankings in Japan.


Brave beats rival browsers


According to a Reddit post on Sept. 8, this is the first time that the privacy-focused Brave browser has overtaken its rival browsers such as Firefox, Opera and Chrome in Japan. The most recent ranking data from Google Play shows that Brave sits comfortably at number 10 on the list, while its closest competitor Firefox lags behind, occupying 14th place.


A Google Play ranking is determined by how well apps perform against several key metrics such as crash rates, app-not-responding rates, excessive WiFi, location or processing in the background. 

? IBM Now Holds 6 of 11 Seats on Hyperledger Blockchain Steering Board

IBM has doubled the number of its employees on the technical steering committee (TSC) of Hyperledger, stoking concerns about the tech giant’s influence on the enterprise blockchain consortium.


Six out of the 11 2019-2020 TSC members announced last week are IBM employees. Five work at Big Blue itself and one, Mark Wagner, is a senior principal engineer at Red Hat, an IBM subsidiary. By comparison, the previous year’s TSC had only two IBM representatives and the same number of total seats (Wagner served on the committee, but IBM’s acquisition of Red Hat did not close until July 2019).


The new committee will begin governing after the new TSC chair is elected next week.

? VanEck’s New Bitcoin Trust Assets Total Just $41K in First Week

Investment management firm VanEck has issued just 4 bitcoins (BTC) via its new trust focused on institutional investors. 
VanEck: one week, one Bitcoin basket


Data from the company, spotted by economist and cryptocurrency commentator Alex Krüger on Sept. 10, showed that since its launch at the start of the month, VanEck SolidX Bitcoin Trust 144A Shares total net assets are only $41,400.


The product, which caused a buzz after VanEck described it as being akin to an exchange-traded fund (ETF), caters strictly to so-called qualified institutional buyers, or QIBs.


“VanEck SolidX Bitcoin Trust 144A Shares… looks and feels like a traditional ETF,” its official description reads.

? Japan: Bitcoin Surpasses XRP in Yen-Denominated Crypto Holdings

Fresh data from the Japan Virtual Currency Exchange Association (JVCEA) has revealed that as of April 2019, the value of yen-denominated Bitcoin (BTC) holdings has outstripped those in XRP on domestic exchanges. 


As Cointelegraph Japan reported on Sept. 10, the surge in the value of exchanges’ Bitcoin holdings coincides with the beginning of Bitcoin’s 2019 bullish uptrend, which saw the top cryptocurrency hit close to $14,000 by late June. 

More XRP is being accumulated, but value declining

My adventures with Exclusive Coin (EXCL)

September 10, 2019 (updated September 10, 2019) Published by

https://btcpop.co/Home/82381/

It was June of 2017, I was new to crypto (still new today but thats another story) and I saw a coin mentioned in a chat room somewhere, thought it might be a good tip so I grabbed some at the price of 8322 satoshi’s.

They were tumultuous times as the coin got pumped and dumped a few times. Fortunately fo me I managed to take advantage of some of the pumps.

Then came an end to the altcoin season and pretty much all altcoins entered the downward spiral that we hopefully are near the bottom of now. I thought it was just a dip, so used some of my profits to buy more EXCL, then more, then more, until I had no BTC left to plough back into the coin. It kept dropping in price though…

So I walked away, for almost a year.

When I logged back into the exchange my coins were worthless, what to do, liquidate and get back a fraction in BTC terms? At this point I actually did some reading about the coin, better late than never I guess.

So, turns out it is a proof of stake coin, now I am not keen on running a wallet locally so turned to BTCPOP (affiliate link) as I had made use of their staking service before with some RDD.

As luck would have it, they had an EXCL wallet and staking was as simple as depositing the coins and waiting. In the end it was a good choice dropping the coins off there instead of doing my own wallet because EXCL did a swap, which I would not say went well, BTCPOP handled the swap and I did not have to do anything, staking was just disabled while their wallet caught up.

Obviously there is the saying ‘not your keys, not you coins’ and the same applies to BTCPOP as it does with any other exchange.

As of right now I am still down to a fraction of the value in BTC that I put in, but who knows, maybe the next rally is right around the corner?

No EXCL? That’s ok BTCPOP also has a faucet, that you can claim from after you register on the site! https://btcpop.co/Faucet/?ref=82381

Crypto Contest September 10: Cosmo Coin

September 10, 2019 Published by

Cosmo Coin (Bittrex: COSMBTC) has broken out of the triangle pattern in the four-hour chart.

(Chart courtesy of Tradingview.com (log scale))

Elliott Wave Analysis

In Elliott Wave terms, Cosmo Coin began a wave one advance on September 3. The red wave one (blue sub-waves i-ii-iii-iv-v) finished on September 6, and the red wave two (blue sub-waves a-b-c) correction ended on September 9. If this wave count is correct, Cosmo Coin should be heading next towards the September 6 peak in the red wave three.
