This week the LEO token market price surged on news of an upcoming wrapped LEO Ethereum token. Wrapped LEO (wLEO) would allow LEO token holders to transact on the ever-popular Uniswap DEX.

Also this week, BarterTrade.io publicly announced plans to build a Hive-based social platform. A portion of fees collected for Hive trading pairs will be donated to the Hive DAO. And an upcoming AMA session is planned and will be lead by @theycallmedan. This announcement was made on Twitter here.

A great initiative to start something like this! There are a lot of things going on the Hive, and having all in one place is a great idea!

Maybe you can create part named: "TRIBE news" or something similar...

This is Awesome Content, and it will be manually curated with an upvote of 65% from @thisisawesome (will be done today), and it will also be included in our Awesome Daily Curation report in category Awesome CTP Curation for more visibility.

The goal of this project is to "highlight Awesome Content, and growing the Hive ecosystem and the CTPtalk tribe by rewarding it".

It will take time for word to spread, I hope you are able to keep the project going. I have added you to one of the list I keep for my own interest, so don't be overly concerned about a lack of followers, I am sure many other than myself have taken advantage of the peakd list function.

Like stevec I will re-blog the post so that perhaps a few of my followers will find it also.

Additions: perhaps upcoming meet-ups for people, a section that parents can get their kids involved in like contest designed for homeschoolers, or kid activity type post. Book of the month from Hive Authors.

Thanks for the feedback! Agree consistency and longevity are key. Aiming to keep this light-weight and sustainable as well as recruit 1-2 volunteers to help out when I'm unable to publish.

I need a way to crowd source tips because I'm certain I'm unaware of many events and contests. I'm thinking to ask folks to use the "news" tag to get my attention to be included in this digest.

A lot of it is going to be just hunting and pecking through post. If you do not use the list function of peakd I would suggest it so as to try and keep a list of know content producers, it will make it easier in the long run to find things.

Example would be one list for contest creators, (I have one for them), you simply add people who do contest on a regular basis to it. Then as you find more contest people you can add them with out getting your primary feed overloaded with post.

Creating and maintaining a list is pretty easy on peakd, you simply click the action box and then add to list, type in the name for the list. Make a list for each news section. By the time you get to edition ten of your posts you will have a pretty solid list setup and then putting the post together will be easier.

This is great initiative, indeed. Sometimes we get overwhelm for so much happening on this space. Hope you can go through with this right track

This comes at a really important time and is needed to help hold cohesion. With a small section of the community over on twitter communicating at the speed of light, where a tweet 30 mins ago is old news, the rest of the chain often has little idea what's going on. Really NICE work @hivetrending - hope everyone who votes and comments also Reblogs and Follows this account. And @HiveLift too. Shameless plug. 😆

I've seen a few people producing 'Newsletters' on Hive. I like your style; Subject, brief description, links. Perfect.


"If you don't have enough power or Crypto to upvote me; reshare me instead. Reshares are worth their weight in gold!"

Don't forget, you can upvote peoples comments too!

This kind of newsletter is what we have needed on Hive! Thanks for putting it together. Clear follow! And once I'm back from the desert, I will send some delegation your way, should you need it.

Thanks for the offer, no delegation needed. Posting once per week is possible with 0HP. I'm actually going to start burning and/or giving away the post rewards.
