getting a diamond

Publish0x is a diamond in the rough, which people ought to know about


This platform has independent value and draws intrinsic and sustainable value from the cryptocurrency aspect of its existence and focus; inherently offering intrinsic value through its utility and function.  It does not have any fake value, only what is real and lasting.  Not a lot of cryptocurrencies or crypto-related "communities" share this same quality, and there is going to be a sudden collapse of many ecosystems which currently look like they are thriving, but which are artificially inflated and which cannot sustain their "momentum."

 

When scams like the "Blankos Block Party" crash along with other "mindless grind-your-brains-out-for-nothing" push-button sites that promise NFTs or Satoshis for seemingly pointless tasks, the people who lose their money to them will be in a different category than people who lose their money when cryptocurrencies overall collapse altogether, because in these vanity systems like Blankos Block Party, where there is absolutely no intrinsic value aside from the hypnotized people who are spending time in it after being entrenched in the hype-machine that is Blankos Block Party, once the early investors cash out, there will be absolutely no long-term incentive for anybody to a) stay around to build up more capital, or b) stick around to own the system and run it and change how it operates to make it solvent.

 

 

It seems like there is an endless list of crypto-related schemes nowadays which thrive on one of two things, or both:

 

1) early-adopter hype that sways people with the allure of being "in on the ground level" investment stage, crafted so that legally the people who lead these companies feel confident that they can say that they never explicitly implied that buying into their product was an investment with a promise to increase in capital, which is what they seem to be skirting around very intentionally and obviously, yet they seem to think they're doing it clever in a way so that people don't realize it, and I guess they're probably right, by and large.

 

2) continuously dangling incentives like carrots to incentivize people into virality so that the "oh my it's a trainwreck but I can't look away nobody else is looking away oh my" mentality reigns supreme and keeps people addicted to keep coming back and pouring their lives and time and energy into empty systems.

 

Neither of these approaches is sustainable, and over and over and over again, systems have sprung up overnight with seemingly big-name support like sports teams, stadiums, or big-name recognition, or other "trust" stunts to shock the world into "going with" their new "disruptive momentum" in the places they roam, only to crash and burn and fade away into obscurity among a crowd of other scams that rise every new day.

 

 

Publish0x is one of the few places that are set up with a long-term approach in mind, so that there is just as much incentive for people to join this platform in 10 years as there is for people to join it today, and the only benefit to joining today is nothing different than being able to say that you've been saving cryptocurrency at about 1c per click when people send crypto your way for writing an article, and transposing today's 1c worth of ETH, AMPL, and SPOT towards 10 years into the future, which is the real benefit into getting into cryptocurrency at all, in that belief that cryptocurrency is going to increase in value.

 

In other words, joining Publish0x today doesn't give you some early-adopter bonus, and it doesn't reward garbage posts that are designed to get fake clicks because this system is designed with an organic feel and response mechanism that is directly correlated to what the actual users of this system like or dislike, and its algorithms are intentionally crafted in a way to reward what the community wants to reward, and only very lightly biases the results, it seems.  Every human-created system has a human bias, and anybody who promises a system without it is lying, and their system is an outright lie.  You should want humans to be moderating the systems they are creating and unleashing to the world.  Publish0x has made a system that unobtrusively allows its moderators to moderate, while letting the wheels and gears of community-moderation do their work to produce and procure the most recently interesting material.

 

Joining Publish0x gives people two abilities:

 

1) to be able to 'tip' publishers

and

2) to be able to become a publisher who may receive ~$0.01 tips from people in the form of cryptocurrency

 

People can read articles here without joining the platform.

 

 

It is extremely easy to indicate to the Pulish0x system that you're ready for a deposit of your funds into your bank account, and it's wonderful to see that $5 worth of crypto from the last time I cashed out is worth almost $10 now!

 

The name "Publish0x" is a strange oddity to me, and their explanation for it in their documentation seems to talk more about what it isn't than what it is or why it's called that, and it has an unfortunate shortened name of "P0X" as in "chickenpox" or "monkeypox", but aside from the name I think the creators of this system have put together a very well-thought-out system, and they have responded to the few service requests and inquiries that I've had within a day or so each time.  Even if the name is wonky, it goes to prove that this system is valuable for more than some token value or some sensational reason, but because it has real intrinsic value, and that's why I think of Publish0x as a sort of diamond in the rough among most other crypto-related systems that exist today.

 

Look back in a year and see which systems are thriving because they offer their communities something real and valuable, and try to remember the systems which have been deleted or are only barely operating because they're making money off of hordes of mindless drones who are quite literally wasting their lives performing endless repetitive tasks for no real worthwhile reward.

 

 

There are many intrinsic values to Publish0x and these values could be said to be shared with other systems which share similar features, but Publish0x stands out among any other similar entity in any given category, and for as many reasons as there are people here publishing and reading and tipping.

 

To say some plain base intrinsic values:

 

1) The ability to publish and store posts that have immediate exposure as well as the ability to be shared over time in a format that is plain and simple to access without ads that bother people. (the ads that are there aren't bothersome)

 

2) The ability to show some appreciation for publishers by tipping them with about a penny's worth of cryptocurrency.  That valuation is based on that day's value, and is naturally going to fluctuate and go up and down over time with the overall crypto markets, and is a great gift to receive in response for writing words and composing thoughts into words to share with others who value them.

 

3) The ability to receive crypto payments and to be able to seamlessly and effortlessly withdraw them directly to a private bank account, and to know that when I'm writing a post, I don't have to write it to convince people to give me some of their own money, because the tipping comes from the system pool, and nobody loses any money when they tip.

 

4) The system is set up in a way to encourage and reward authenticity, and to discourage bot and shill behavior.  Systems like Steem and Medium and Hive and other quasi-similar platforms seem to all have major problems with obvious bot-generated posts and posts that are there simply as clickbait.  Clickbait works in those other systems and that's why it thrives.  Here at Publish0x, there are clickbait posts, but they're quickly gone after a short period because nobody pays them any mind and the real content that people want to see gets preserved longer in the short-lived spotlight that shines on new posts. Nobody has a stronger tipping power because they have a more-funded account, and there is not much incentive to try to "game the system" here.

 

5) The system allows for an indefinite period of tipping, so someone could see this post in a year or five years from now and post a tip to it, whereas some other systems limit the tipping period to a week or two or so.

 

6) The cryptocurrencies used here are actually valuable and tradeable outside of this system.  Currently at the time of this writing, Publish0x rewards users with ETH, AMPL, and SPOT.  When I first signed up, they had recently stopped using a token for payments, and were only using ETH and had just added AMPL.  Recently they added SPOT.  Any of these coins can be sent out of the system to an external wallet without any complicated hoops to jump through or extra costly conversions.

 

7) The creators of this system were not creating a "social network" in the image of what people expect from social networks today.  They set out to create a publishing platform which selects and approves its authors, and which is profitable to all involved, and that's what they made, in a solid fashion.  It says in their own FAQ that they're not trying to become a social network.

 

8) The community so far is fairly eclectic, a good mix of people from many walks of life, though it seems obvious and appropriate that the majority of people who are publishing here have a connection to cryptocurrencies in their posts and interests, and most people here seem to be at least a little more on the above-average intelligence threshold.  This is very loose judgment, and of course I'm sure we can all point to the folks who would prove that last sentence way wrong.  So far, in the short time that Publish0x has existed, I have seen almost nothing to indicate that this platform has yet been heavily infiltrated by the racist hate groups like the BLM or KKK, although their posts do exist and their comments survive.  It seems like most of the posts here at Publish0x are people who are fairly new to publishing, and who are genuinely expressing interests that they have about things that personally interest them, and I think this is exactly how the creators of this place intended it to be when they set it up, based on their descriptions.

 

9) Publish0x appears to be regularly updated and fairly low-maintenance, from an outsider's point of view.  I'm not sure what their task list looks like on a daily basis, but it seems like this system should be fairly easy to maintain from a coding point of view, once the initial codebase has been established and tested and built out to spec.  I noticed a few very minor spelling errors or unexpected artifacts back when I first joined, and I pointed them out just to be friendly, and their support team responded and thanked me for letting them know, and they soon were fixed.  Also, I have noticed that they update their FAQ from time to time, and the overall structure and appearance of the site has undergone little and not-so-little changes, both for the improvement of the aesthetic form as well as the functional structure.  

 

 

 

 

The team behind this platform has put together an independent platform which is crypto-agnostic, which has an apparently self-sustaining business model that is at least partially funded by ads, and which has a curated community of authors who have found audiences who will read what they write.  All of this, and this community of authors and readers can reward each other with real money simply by clicking a little 'tip' button.  Nobody who signs up to this site signs up because they were duped into it, or because they are expecting some great thing that is never going to materialize.  Everyone who signs up here is signing up because they either want to:

 

1) tip someone else

 

or

 

2) publish their own posts

 

 

There are many platforms who pay shills to go out and sensationalize and lie to people about their products, in an attempt to drive up numbers and engagement and all, in an effort to make a shiny product full of people to sell to the highest stupid corporate buyer.  That's not Publish0x.

 

 

Publish0x is one of the quietest most valuable platforms on the internet today, and it solves a lot of the problems that a lot of the other platforms cannot.  Many people are flocking from Twitter to Mastodon to this or to that, they're looking for places where they can find real, good stuff, and where they can post real, good stuff, but there is a stark difference between this place and all those, and in each paragraph I've written here about it, it's like trying to describe something which is very plain yet remarkably valuable among many things which claim to be remarkably valuable, yet which are very vain.

 

 

This community is a new community in the cryptospheres, and most of the concepts that we discuss in cryptocurrency-related topics are all very new in and of themselves, and all of this is something which is developing into something else in the near and far future.  It will be an amazing ride, for sure.
