This survey showed a “stunning increase in mobile broadband usage.”  And, with an increase in the internet usage coming from mobile devices, it follows that more applications will be developed for mobile devices – e.g., dApps, decentralized applications.

This type of internet usage is growing and bodes well for the application developers in the mobile and decentralized application space.  For example, Blockstack, Ethereum, EOS and many other platforms are being built to provide an ecosystem for not only regular internet use but for use on mobile devices. Blockstack recently released a platform to help developers build applications for use on mobile devices.  See Blockstack iOS SDK.

The post Mobile Device – Recent survey on U.S. Census site reveals that Two-Thirds Access internet on Mobile Device appeared first on The Stack Cafe™.

In the creators own words: a “dead simple decentralized microblogging application.”

Some of the features/ideals of Fupio include:

• Fupio uses tags to categorize the posts
• Social networking communities should be free when sharing their thoughts.
• The platform should be democratic, and the community itself should decide on the unwanted content.
• Platform data should be public and private information should not be requested from the user.
• The user can not be forced to export any data that can not be published publicly.
• Ads can not run on the platform.
• Tools that attempt to skew user behavior can not be added to the platform.
• Everything is public
• Fupio running own blockchain and there is no economy yet
• Blockchains keep all data forever
  • But we can hide on UI of course
    • Will be added next version.

Please find some screenshots from the website for Fupio.

The post Fupio – a new decentralized microblogging dApp appeared first on The Stack Cafe™.

This website is yet another innovation from the group at Blockstack.  Like the new website from Blockstack released (re-focused for the developer/technical audience) last week:

Blockstack Website – Updated to Focus on the Developer

this website is for the decentralized application (dApp) user.  With the release of the App.co website, Blockstack has not forgotten about the consumer or user of decentralized applications (dApp(s)).

Blockstack has designed the App.co website to be inclusive of any and all dApps built not only on Blockstack’s ecosystem, but dApps built on many other platforms for dApps like ethereum, ipfs, steam, eos, zeronet and others.

Some additional screenshots for the new Blockstack website are shown below.

If you are a user of decentralized applications, whether on Blockstack, Ethereum, Steem, Eos to others, this new website is for you. This website is a good place to start if you are an experienced dApp user or just beginning.

If you are a developer, and interested in developing decentralized applications (app(s)) for the Blockstack ecosystem, try this website:

Misthos is a decentralised app for collaborative management of finances. Individuals collaborating on a project can use Misthos to manage and distribute their bitcoin income as a team.

Some of the features of Misthos include:

• users can create Ventures
• dynamically add and remove Partners that share and control a multisig Bitcoin wallet
• ventures can receive Bitcoin
• payouts can be proposed that require endorsement from the other Partners before they are submitted to the Bitcoin network.

Misthos hopes to become the complete solution for collaboratively managing your cash flow with bitcoin.

Straight from Blockstack: “We want to enable developers to build high-quality decentralized apps and learn about our tools for decentralized auth and decentralized storage. … Blockstack is a developer-centric community and platform; we believe the new website better represents the mission of the project.” 

Some of the featured changes include:

• Easy to find tutorials for how to get started
• Short feature comparison between Firebase and Blockstack
• Links to various technical details and components of the Blockstack network
• Information for developers to get funding
• Featured apps built on Blockstack

A new website with a clear focus.  Blockstack is trying to position the ecosystem for the upcoming Stacks token and blockchain deployment.  But, in order to enable the app economy Blockstack envisions, it needs to provide the technical and developer community the most support and tools necessary to make the Blockstack vision come to fruition.  Well, the re-focused website is a start in what it believes to be in the right direction.  

Some additional screenshots for the new Blockstack website are shown below.

The post Blockstack Vietnam is preparing for another meetup On August 12, 2018, in Vietnam appeared first on The Stack Cafe™.

Well, Blockstack Portland is busy preparing for its next Meetup on July 25, 2018.  The guest speaker is Thomas Cox.  Mr. Cox is a blockchain governance expert active in the EOS ecosystem. He worked previously for Oracle Corporation and IBM and lives in Beaverton, Oregon.

Per Blockstack Portland, the meetup will discuss:  “Somewhere between the Law of the Jungle of the Bitcoin blockchain, and the King’s Castle of a Hyperledger style private blockchain, lies the Swiss Village model of a blockchain governed by the consent of the members. Why will this blockchain approach be the friendliest for businesses, and how might it work? How can you tell if your business should be on a Governed Blockchain?” 

Looks very interesting and appears that the Team at Blockstack Portland is working together to bring this to the Blockstack ecosystem.

Well, Blockstack Portland is busy preparing for its next Meetup tonight – May 16, 2018.  And, tonight will feature an upcoming platform being built for Blockstack – Superchain. 

Per Blockstack Portland, “Superchain is a Blockchain platform that aims to fuse Blockchain with Cloud Computing. With Superchain, you get a interface similar to AWS or Google Cloud: a cli, web console, services like identity, storage, functions, pubsub, etc.” 

Looks very interesting and appears that the Team at Blockstack Portland is working together to bring this to the Blockstack ecosystem.

As we mentioned in an earlier post here, the Blockstack Community Rewards Program is a way to reward community members for the value they bring to the ecosystem.

It looks like the ways to contribute has grown and the list of contributors and rewards has grown too.  Let’s take a look at what is new to the world of Blockstack contributions and stacks rewards.

For example, it appears that Blockstack PBC has upped the ante and is offering a $1,000,000 in grants of $100,000 each to ten teams to create a new Social Network.  Blockstack PBC puts it this way:

“No single entity should have unilateral say over how 2 billion people connect and communicate. The current centralized model of social networking has created a stranglehold on our collective consciousness, communication, and friend network. But we’re at an inflection point — a moment where people can reclaim control of the way they network.”

Blockstack PBC will even award stacks to the person that pushes out a tweet or post about the same initiative – Request for a Social Network” –

“Sometimes the best founders can be hidden, that’s why we want your help in getting the message out to extraordinary founders looking to build decentralized social networks using Blockstack.  Click ahead to learn more!”

The initiative promoted by Blockstack PBC for the $1,000,000 grants for a new social network can be found here.

So, if you are up to the task or have the team up to the task, follow the links above and build the social network for the decentralized internet on Blockstack.

Some of the other tasks that one might be able to contribute to include feedback on tutorials, writing a blog post, signing up for Blockstack, unit testing, de-lint(ing), and many others.
