Blocklord is Ethereum's 1st Decentralized Planet Earth where every corner of the planet has been tokenised on the Ethereum Blockchain, and can be customised and traded.
ABOUT BLOCKLORD Blocklord subdivides and tokenises every corner of planet Earth. You can own, customise and trade blocks of land on the blockchain.
Each token, or block, can be personalised with image, text, a link to your personal or commercial website an so on.
You could own Times Square, the Tour Eiffel, your office or the place where you met your significant other, and customise each block to your liking, leaving your mark forever on the blockchain.
Blocks can be re-sold or rented out to tenants who might want to temporarily advertise on your blocks, generating real world income.
You can earn value in 4 different ways. 1) You can decide to resell a block for a price of your choice (e.g. you buy for 0.1 ETH and can sell it for 0.12ETH for 20% profit) 2) Other players can decide to buy you out without your consent, they would need to pay at least double what you paid for, this is to retain liquidity in case somebody bought, say the White House, and then decided not to play the game anymore. 3) You can rent your block, for a daily fee another player can decide to put their data on the block. Imagine a coffee chain would want to advertise a campaign on the blocks where their premises are.
What do you guys think? How would you use it? Any feedback would be great!
It's not particularly surprising given that, in a region without stable electricity for 10+ hours/day for 60% of the population, you're not going to rely on electronics to do the work for you.
Take for instance the numerous stories of people hovering around and sharing power strips when they are available just to charge whatever devices they do have. It's a scarce resource.
I used to love WordPress. Now is too feature heavy for a blog and not flexible enough as a CMS (without a lot of customisation)..I might give Ghost a try, feels a lot like Medium. How about the SEO though?
Interesting read. Last year I wrote a simple blogging platform in PHP myself, in about a week, rather than go through the trouble of integrating Wordpress with the rest of my PHP site. I sometimes wondered how SEO-optimized the result was compared to a full-blown WP install. Feels good to see that I hit all the recommendations in this article... I guess my effort is at least about as good as Ghost then, if not WP.
How does Ghost generate pages for web crawlers? This has always been my hesitation about this sort of platform. Does it pre-render static pages? Or is everything rendered on the server in NodeJS?
The MVP approach can allow you to build fewer features that are actually useful for your user base.
There are tons of product out there that are gaining market share against older/bigger companies, think about the CRM market for example.
The big players can't remove all the "wrong" features they built in the past because a portion of their user bases is attached to them, smaller players can iterate at a much higher pace.
http://www.zonino.co.uk is a platform for finding tech jobs in London startups. We scrape the jobs automatically parse them with a natural language processing system (GATE), index them and make them available to the public. For free! It gives me a nice fuzzy feeling :)
