New Launch CTPX and How Small Businesses Can Help Hive

avatar

We all want more businesses connected to Hive, right? The more they are, the deeper our ecosystem grows and, if we keep our high degree of decentralization and censorship resistance at the base layer, the most resilient Hive will continue to be.

When we talk about businesses connected to Hive, we have to keep our minds open for all kinds and shapes. Not all businesses will have the potential to boost worldwide adoption of Hive significantly. Not all businesses will make Hive penetrate a geographical area with a high degree of success and bring serious publicity to Hive in that area.

But 1000 small businesses all over the world connected to Hive can bring equal value to the ecosystem over time than one frontline big business getting all (most) the attention.

I know one of those small businesses that keep growing on Hive at its own pace is the one by the CTP team (@jongolson, @blainjones, @elianaicgomes).

They are quite entrenched in the Hive ecosystem by now with:

  • a Hive witness
  • I think more than one Hive-Engine witnesses
  • a CTP Tribe (community, token, interface)
  • a Hive-Engine index token
  • not one, but three content discovery websites
    • first (only?) viral mailer on a blockchain - ListNerds - I still use it every day
    • Veews - the type of content you prefer is presented to you as the machine learning algorithm narrows down your preferences
    • newly launched website CTPX

If Listnerds was linked to one type of product that was very popular (viral mailer), CTPX wants to upgrade another type of product to these days (traffic exchange).

The principle by which such a website works is "you view my site, I view yours". Or more exactly, you view 3 websites and your website is viewed once (for free members).

It is more oriented toward marketers who used them, instead of people on Hive, like Listnerds turned out to be.

Jon said their goal is to bring these marketers to Hive through CTPX. To earn, new users will need Hive accounts and CTP tokens can be won hourly (lottery style). If I understood correctly, some of the income they make with this website will be used to create a market maker for the CTP token, while another portion will be burned.

Another link to Hive that CTPX has is HBD, which can be used, alongside Paypal, to subscribe for upgrades.

Check out their own launch announcement:

I know the modern-day curse is a very short attention span. I am suffering from it too, and I have to make sure I stay focused on my main interests, or distraction will take over.

So we have to pick and choose. We also have a problem with content discovery on Hive. And the CTP team has created not one but 3 options to help with that.

Yep, you should be familiar with the business model of this new website, although the team added some new interesting things to it.

Appreciate you man, thanks for sharing X with the blockchain :)

Yeah we learned a lot from our experiences both off chain and on chain so we think content discovery is vital. Building these kind of applications is a passion of ours for sure.

Hope people enjoy it!

You provide now 3 different ways to improve content discovery and promotion on Hive (and not only), and that can only be to the benefit of the ecosystem.

I saw that video yesterday but I also think it's a lottery type of system. Only time will tell if things are successful but I do think it's quite nice to see something different and I hope that more of them show up at hive.

Yes, it is a lottery. Those who "explore" receive lottery tickets and one winner is picked every hour who receives a prize in CTP.

I know the modern-day curse is a very short attention span.

But somehow the "Listen to Post" tab on PeakD helps me solve such inattention. It works for me.

The "Listen to Post" button isn't an app, but a feature within an app (a dapp that is #PeakD). 🤓😏

What is a feature?

A feature is something that makes something distinct from others with a similar function to it. 🤓

For example, #PeakD is a Hive frontend (that is very similar to #Ecency and #HiveBlog) whose primary function is to present to you content (posts and comments) on the Hive blockchain. 🤔 Being able to present the content as text on the screen to you is hardly a feature, since without it, it isn't supposed to be called a "frontend". 🤓 Since only PeakD (right now) allows its users to listen on the text (that other frontends currently don't have), it is definitely a feature. 😏

It most likely uses a 3rd party service, but yes, it's something integrated into PeakD.

Yes, CTP owners have done it again. It would be great to see more businesses on Hive, but like you said there is so much that you have to pick and choose. I try to keep up with CTP & all they offer but I have to admit there are so many other things I want to be a part of on Hive that I often get overwhelmed cause there's just not enough time to do it all.

Like they prefer... slow and steady, but they keep adding more things to the ecosystem. And time is always a constraint, unfortunately.

Thanks for your comment!

That is a very nice summary of the CTPX, Adrian.
I am interested in how many new people it can bring over from the traditional affiliate space—mostly current TE users.

Thanks, John! I heard Jon in Friday's CryptoManiacs podcast that CTPX started to pique the interest of many users they had in the TE space.

I think it is an excellent site and the best thing is that it is connected with HIVE, I think it will be a great success, always the CTP team innovating, a round of applause for them.

Cool! I wasn't that lucky, but when I have time I'll put in some exploring and maybe I'll win some CTP myself.

Thanks! I often try to share when I learn about something new or updated. The ecosystem is too big to keep track of everything that's going on, so we rely on others to share news so they will reach us too.
