Hello Everyone I hope your all having fun here on this amazing blockchain, I've been relatively quiet online this past week simply taking in and learning as much of this network as possible, Iv'e still got a long way to go yet but every day I can piece together what i need to do here and i am learning more and more as i go.
I thought id write up the first blog here with some things I have learned and managed to do successfully this week.
First all I managed to read, comment and up-vote some of you guys excellent content on CTP Talk and the first thing I noticed was that my up votes was not worth anything. After some studying i realized that i had to stake some CTP tokens in order to achieve this. This was fairly easy to work out and after staking I could see that my votes and comments were starting to show some CTP value, very cool :)
I managed to send some BTC to hive from an external BTC wallet and I then traded for Hive and then into CTPM in order to mine some CTP Tokens.. I also managed to stake these CTPM tokens but i am yet to see anything else, I am still learning and will be looking into this part a little further to see if I have done this correctly. :)
This one I am excited about and the more i think about this and various ideas that have flew through my mind Its been a huge eye opener at the potential of how powerful this is going to be for Traffic Exchanges's and Mailer's that decide to use and accept the CTP token at their sites. Whilst testing out an idea I very easily managed to setup a couple of small CTP Token competitions at CT4u. Awarding the 5 top surfers and we managed to easily send the CTP tokens to the winners the next day. I will be looking to build on this idea and have think about how this could maybe be implemented in a more automated way.
SO.. ill leave this for now and would greatly welcome your help and suggestions moving forward!
Thanks for reading.
