DEVELOPER SPOTLIGHT

Username: @torrey.blog
Role: Developer
BIO URL

I want to take a moment to recognize one of our core developers and our Gourmet Chef, @torrey.blog.

This person has been around the community for quite some time and after recently returning from focusing on other aspects of life, has jumped right back into the swing of things by joining the team and helping create our wonderful $PIZZA token. Torrey is bringing a lot of the vision to life. Torrey has been spending time in the kitchen baking up some new recipes for the bot, increasing the awareness of our systems and the flavor of our $PIZZA and has more ideas on the way! If you are interested in learning more about Blockchain development, Python, or how the two compliment one another, drop @torrey.blog a follow and say hello! Thank you for all you do for the $PIZZA community and for HIVE, Torrey!

CORE DEV & BOT UPDATES

PizzaBot is now even more self-aware and it hanging out with us in our Discord.
- PizzaBot & Helpers are now assisting us in the Discord with various tasks.
Signature overhaul
- Originally, we were using a placeholder licensed image that I threw together to let folks know they received $PIZZA from someone. Along the way, we also collaborated with the wonderful @stickupboys (check them out, seriously...go!) to generate some $PIZZA related gifs which dominated the comment sections for a few days! After receiving some feedback, we now have a new and much sleeker signature available.

New Automated Workflows
- In-order to process rewards, I had to manually pull a ton of data from various locations each day and week. Now, we have automated workflows in the kitchen that will help us identify winners much easier and will speed up the process, allowing us more time to work on our delicious $PIZZA token! More is on the way!
New Functionality
- PizzaBot is now talking to both CoinGecko and Hive-Engine to bring us fast and accurate market data for those who like to keep an eye on market movement. This works for all tokens available on Hive Engine as well as HIVE.
New Commands
- !help - print this list
- !price - print the price of $PIZZA
- !price (token) - print the price of that specific token on Hive-Engine
- !top10 - print the top 10 holders list from the richlist
- !tokenomics - print details information regarding wallets
- !gif - @stickupboys gifs!
- !info - learn more about $PIZZA
- !source - github sourcecode

STORE UPDATES

We are so extremely close to being finished here. I ran into some issues right before posting this article with the SMTP server which will prevent users from receiving their keys. Once we get these initial bugs sorted (the testing that has been completed has been overall great) we will be super excited to start processing our first $PIZZA purchases through the website for PC game keys!
I will have more updates on this in the next few days. Expect a mid-week update if not sooner!

WEBSITE UPDATES

I've added a few additional buttons. I really need to find some more time to clean this up in the next couple of days but we now have raw feeds for the Market Stream, the bot Gift Stream (when users gifts pizza slices), and the HE Explorer Richlist for $PIZZA integrated. The goal will be to clean this raw data up so that it can be easily read and digested as needed. All numbers public, always.

OTHER UPDATES

EMOJI LIFE
- @creodas has been brushing up on his pixel art skills and is starting to pump out some real saucy emojis over in the Discord.

REWARDS TOKEN SPOTLIGHT

This week, we've selected the #STARBITS token to distribute out for rewards. #STARBITS is the utility token used by the Rising Star game over at risingstargame.com. I am a top 100 ranked player and heavily endorse @risingstargame if you are into music, blockchain gaming, or collecting (like myself) cards like myself.

In Rising Star, you work from the ground up to grow not only your personal and band skills, but the number of fans you have along the way. As you progress through each zone, you will unlock more and more features of thea game. Some of things features include the ability to piece together the band of your dreams and even record them live, producing cool tracks that you can share with other players or your friends! Rising Star has crafting system for rare instruments and a solid trading economy behind it.

#STARBITS are used for various things across Rising Star such as certain mission types (like the coveted Millionaire Mission), buying boosters or cards from other players on the in-game market, doing crafting missions, or even bidding to be venue promoter for a piece of the pie and for #STARPRO tokens, which are coming in the next day or so and will open up a brand new playstyle for the game. I personally plan on purchasing more #STARBITS to participate and personally speculate that the price will continue going up as more and more people get into the game or bid for promotion spots in the new system.

Those of you not familiar, they also host Radio Evolved on Sunday where they showcase local HIVE musicians and talk Rising Star. You can even win some great cards for the game just by hanging out and listening to some great tunes. You'll also find us in there handing out slices of hot and freshly baked 'za!

Check out the show from earlier today!
