Steem – Brian of London https://brianoflondon.me The collected works of Brian of London Thu, 20 Feb 2020 12:00:19 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5 https://i0.wp.com/brianoflondon.me/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/cropped-Brian-of-London-with-sig-600x600.png?fit=32%2C32&ssl=1 Steem – Brian of London https://brianoflondon.me 32 32 156832491 Podcast is talking Tron and Steemit from the north of Israel https://brianoflondon.me/2020/02/podcast-is-talking-tron-and-steemit-from-the-north-of-israel/ https://brianoflondon.me/2020/02/podcast-is-talking-tron-and-steemit-from-the-north-of-israel/#comments Thu, 20 Feb 2020 12:00:12 +0000 https://brianoflondon.me/?p=1729 I was up in the north of Israel, just a few kms from the border with Lebanon. I have no idea what the two explosions I heard were. They may well have been from somewhere up on the Golan Heights. I’m talking about the purchase of Steemit by Justin Sun of Tron. I’ll have more to say on that in the coming days.

Podcast talks Tommy Robinson released, crazy Israeli politics, Web 3.0 and 3speak vs YouTube https://brianoflondon.me/2019/09/podcast-talks-tommy-robinson-released-crazy-israeli-politics-web-3-0-and-3speak-vs-youtube/ https://brianoflondon.me/2019/09/podcast-talks-tommy-robinson-released-crazy-israeli-politics-web-3-0-and-3speak-vs-youtube/#respond Sun, 22 Sep 2019 06:22:59 +0000 https://brianoflondon.me/?p=1483 Tommy Robinson was finally released from his super max, isolation prison. Insanity. Good to seem him out and very good to hear his voice again. I give a bit of a run down on Web 3.0, the decentralisation of applications and web sites. This is the next generation on from using monolithic sites like Facebook and Google. It’s no wonder that these Goliaths tried to crush this nascent tech with their illegal crypto advertising ban.

Once again I’m explaining why 3speak.online is different and why I’m posting my material there instead of YouTube. One announcement: on the 6th of October I’ll have $50 to hand out for great comments on my videos. This is rotating promotion from 3speak giving me the power of their account to award upvotes on comments. I’ll be upvoting comments left within the last week on 6th October!

Here’s another little bonus that won’t make it as a full podcast on its own: I flew around Beit Shemesh the other day and talked about Pewdiepie and the ADL.

I recorded this over a week ago, the video went up quickly on 3speak but it’s taken me a while to get back into the grove with updating my own website. I’ve got to say that I’m increasingly of the opinion that Steem provides a better blogging platform than my own site. I will explore the reasons why in the future but for now I’m still updating here.

You can see my Sicily drone video here on 3speak.

My travelfeed post about the hotel in Rome is here.

I’m pushing 3speak and Steem because I believe in them https://brianoflondon.me/2019/09/im-pushing-3speak-and-steem-because-i-believe-in-them/ https://brianoflondon.me/2019/09/im-pushing-3speak-and-steem-because-i-believe-in-them/#respond Wed, 04 Sep 2019 06:43:15 +0000 https://brianoflondon.me/?p=1455 It’s been quiet here. Videos and podcasts will return soon. Meanwhile I’m now very much more involved in promoting the 3speak video site (follow them on twitter, hint hint). I’ve been uploading my videos there for a while and earning from them. But not just 3speak. I’m focusing a lot of energy on the move from old, centralised Web 2.0 toward decentralised Web 3.0. I’ll explain this better in the coming weeks.

I have written, over on a Web 3.0 Travel Site called Travelfeed, a review of the HT6 Boutique hotel I stayed at in Rome (HT6 is really the name of the hotel). It ranks amongst the highest in Rome I’d say! Travelfeed is another site based on the Steem blockchain. That makes it de-centralised: the database of information into which my post goes is stored on multiple computers owned by many different people.

Unlike writing a review on TripAdvisor, when people like and share my review, I am rewarded with a small amount of the cryptocurrency Steem. That’s easily exchangeable for real money if I want. Here’s the start of the review:

I’ve just finished a four night stay in Rome at the HT6 Boutique Hotel in Rome with my two kids and my parents. I found this hotel on Hotels.com and reserved the rooms without a cancelation penalty.

The hotel has around 30 rooms and is located in the heart of Rome’s Jewish Quarter and right next to the impressive Rome Synagogue. The hotel is about 100m from a security barrier so technically taxis can’t drive right up to the door. On arrival in a big minibus for 6 people, the Italian Military Police (Carabinieri) allowed us to drive right up to the door. When we left, the bell boys carried our luggage out for us.

Travelfeed.io Read the rest.

There’s also been a huge amount of work done and progress made on our Crypto Class Action against the Tech Goliaths, but not all of it can be spoken of yet.

And here’s my latest video, a quick edit of drone footage (done on my phone, not my proper editing software on the computer.

Persecution of the entire Crypto industry in legacy social media: Twitter https://brianoflondon.me/2019/03/persecution-of-the-entire-crypto-industry-in-legacy-social-media-twitter/ https://brianoflondon.me/2019/03/persecution-of-the-entire-crypto-industry-in-legacy-social-media-twitter/#respond Tue, 12 Mar 2019 10:38:42 +0000 https://brianoflondon.me/?p=919 I hadn’t quite realised the extent to which legacy social media like Twitter forbids references to Crypto based businesses. I tried to share a Steem Ninja sign up link on Twitter yesterday and noticed this morning that clicking on it gives this result.

I spent more than 30 minutes yesterday talking to the two people behind the company that runs Steem Ninja which provides a simple way to get onto the blockchain based Steem social media and blogging site for the payment of a small fee. Steem can be joined for free but that can take a few days. They’re real people running a real business. There’s no scam here that I can see, you give them something of value they give you something of value.

If you pay $2.50 you can get on immediately and you’ll have some crypto credit to get you started. It’s not a scam, it’s an alternative to the free to use social media that makes its money by selling YOUR work and information and YOUR attention to others while they show you adverts to pay for the “free” service. Remember, if you’re not paying for something, you are the product that is being sold!

I get a small bonus if someone signs up from the link. Either way, for Twitter to brand this business as potentially fraudulent when it is a direct competitor to its business model is exactly the kind of sneaky behaviour we now expect from these legacy social media sites.

If you do sign up to Steem, please be absolutely sure to note down the rather over complicated list of passwords and encryption keys that pop up just after you chose a user name and before you pay. Do not lose these. Steem is decentralised: that means nobody fully controls it and there simply is no reset system to get an account back if you lose your password.
