The JJM Chart is showing the following data. * Price : 0.135 Steem / JJM * Compared before day: -54 JJM (JJM tokens added to the total volume compared to the day before) * Total Qty: 1,448,208 JJM (Total Qty in Market holding without locked-up Qty and found Qty.) * JJM holders: 177 accounts (except the founders' accounts) * The current Market value (except founders Qty.) translates to a holders market cap of 195,508.08STEEM. * Details can be found under https://passionbull.github.io/jjm-list/ made by @jacobyu 

We can see a peak on the user number directly after the Steemmonsters tournament and also that the price dropped directly after the tournament. It means that JJM tokens are circulating in the market, which is a good part.


The daily overview of the DEX https://steem-engine.com/ is showing JJM with a low volume of about 80USd in the moment. The new Gamer token and Sometoken are now taking the rankings. It is great to see that more tokens on Steem-engine are traded on a daily base.

Upcoming Events

• Steemmonsters Tournament Event


The next tournament is coming soon and will be announced as soon as more information is available. Stay tuned~!

Hi, @jayplayco here.

The last IEO for Steemhunt has been sold out in 14 minutes and now we are waiting for the listing of Hunt tokens at the first exchange Daybit.

To get a better insight into Steemhunt I would like to summarize some milestones about the project. We will have a look at milestones and important moments about the project.

0. Repository

https://github.com/Steemhunt/web

1. Project History

 [Source: visme.co](https://my.visme.co/projects/31gxvjgx-the-history-of-steemhunt)

a. First announcement about Steemhunt: 31.10.2017 Source

This part had been where @project7 and @tabris created the @steemhunt account and decided to start with the project. It took about four months until the project was far enough to introduce it to the world.

b. Official start of Steemhunt: 05.03.2018 Source

The real and official start for Steemhunt. A lot of the current moderators have joined already at this time and supported Steemhunt. I think it is remarkable how this community has been evolved since then.

c. Introducing the first Incentives for sponsors. (Delegation reward): 18.04.2018 Source

At this time it was decided that the @steemhunt account will upvote the hunts and also the delegation payout was decided.

d. First 24K in delegation reached: 23.04.2018 Source

Investors who believed in Steemhunt and delegated from the earliest beginning were able to get a really big portion of HUNT tokens in a short period of time.

e. Announcing the 50% Airdrop for Steemhunt: 22.05.2018 Source

This date was the Big-Bang for Steemhunt. As the project did not reach the requested interest of the community, the team needed to rethink their strategy. A lot of projects were airdropping a part of their tokens as a marketing tool. In normal cases, it was required to join a telegram channel and leave an ERC-20 address, etc. The team behind Steemhunt thought out of the box and architectured a token economy where most of the holders are not investors but the users themselves. And the basic request was to involve and be active in the Steemhunt community. As history shows, this step was the first of its kind (as many other steps, that Steemhunt has done) and was very successful.

f. Reaching 250K SP in delegation: 23.05.2018 Source

Just in a day, the delegation amount reached 250K SP. Steem was at that time a high of 3.11USD per Steem, which translates to about 1.5 Million USD of Steem Power in a day. The 50% airdrop marketing event was a total hit.

g.Introducing the moderator system: 27.05.2018 Source

In the first two months after launching Steemhunt, @project7 and @tabris took care of the daily moderating. But after their 50% Airdrop introduction, the user number was increasing too fast to be able to take care of it on a daily base. This was the moment where the first community-based role as moderator was introduced. In total six moderators had been elected from the community and four of them are still daily modding and supporting Steemhunt. (@teamhumble, @urbangladiator, @dayleeo, @fknmayhem)

h. First reaction on abusing: 01.06.2018 Source

Every project will have the same issue, but especially with Blockchain projects and rewards, there is a long list of possible abusements. Steemhunt was not an exception and in the beginning, the upvote was based on the ranking. For a lean start, the ranking was decided by the upvote amount and this resulted that people started to send bit bots to their hunt to manipulate the ranking. The counteraction from Steemhunt was to exclude all upvotes from bidbots.

i. Delegation from Steemit Inc.: 02.06.2018

 As far as I know, the team reached out quite early to Steemit Inc. to ask for support. The answer from Steemit was that the project needed to show a reasonable DAU so that Steemit Inc. can decide to support the project. The final decision came with a 1M Steem delegation from Steemit Inc. at 2nd of June 2018. Steem was at that time at a high of 2.56USD per Steem, which made the delegation worth 2.5 Million USD. My personal involvement with Steemhunt was just a few days earlier at 30th of May 2018 [Source](https://steemit.com/steemit/@jayplayco/what-is-steemhunt-and-why-should-i-care). I just started with Steemit a few weeks ago and found out about Steemhunt. The article about Steemhunt I wrote at that time caught the attention from @tabris and he contacted me directly to ask if I would be willing for an offline meeting. I agreed and that was my personal start with Steemhunt and I enjoyed every single day with the team and community since. Just shortly before the big delegation from Steemit Inc. 

j. Introduction of Hunt token off-chain wallet: 06.06.2018 Source

Now that the airdrop was introduced, moderators working hard to manage the hunts and daily Hunt tokens distributed, the community needed a way to check how many Hunt tokens they have. The off-chain Hunt token wallet was introduced. Based on talks with the team, it was already clear at that time that the tokens will be issued in ERC-20 first and then be swapped to SMT tokens. The main concern was the cost (GAS) happening when transferring the coins from the off-chain wallet to the blockchain based ETH wallet. But the team mentioned that they will (at least in the beginning) bear the cost for the community and this decision from June 2018 is still valid.

k.ABV (Account based Voting) 1.0: 14.06.2018 Source

Shortly after the 1Million SP delegation from Steemit Inc., the hunted products skyrocket from daily 35 products to over 180 products daily. Unfortunately, it was also the timing when a lot of users saw the chance to abuse the upvoting pool from Steemhunt and tried different ways to cheat the system. I can review that time that @tabris was busy for more than 3 months to countermeasure different abusing methods. It delayed the project from the original time plan, but in the end, it was the start of creating one of the most advanced abusing measurement systems on blockchain projects with live users.

l.ABV 2.0: 22.06.2018 Source

The team had a high responsibility with over 1.5M SP on their shoulders and the abusing didn’t stop after the first ABV version. @project7 and @tabris worked day and night to create a fair version and countermeasure fake accounts, self-voting and group voters with a new score called Diversity score. As history shows, even this diversity score was not enough to handle all type of abusing but the team kept the effort high to adapt the system.

j. Community based Influencer system: 18.07.2018 Source

After running ABV 2.0 for more than 3 weeks, the team realized that with the current user pool it will be difficult to countermeasure targeted abusing. A larger user pool would decrease the effect of circle voting groups, but due to the limited pool of upvoters, the effects on the ranking board were too big to ignore it. The result was the introduction of influencers which would be selected based on specific rules and given a higher upvote power. The main goal was to make the ranking board attractive with cool products and not with irrelevant hunts that were just highlighted with highjacked upvotes. The effect was immediate, as the ranking board was showing more and more products that would match the DNA of Steemhunt.

k. Starting to get an audience outside the Steem economy: 10.09.2018 Source

At some point, the user numbers from Steemit have been declining, as the Steem price was falling deep. Additionally, not all Steemians would be actually interested to be Steemhunt hunters. The Geek capita needed to be increased and the answer was outside the Steem community. The team decided to increase the effort for exposure outside the Steem community and introduced bounty rewards for sharing content about Steemhunt on traditional social media channels. An interesting part was that after this measurement the user base changed mainly to US-based users. We can guess that is related to the fact that most social media channels promoted directly from Steemhunt (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest) have a lot of US-based users.

l. Witness initiative: 07.10.2018 Source

Steemhunt started in October a witness server to focus on bringing value based on companies for Steem and make the entrance for other interested Dapps easier. One of these initiatives was to create an API for blacklists to share these among other Dapps.

m. Steemhunt User Score: 17.11.2018 Source

The introduction of the HUNT user score was an important milestone, as it now matters how much Hunt tokens you have. Based on the staking of tokens in your wallet, the user score will be affected directly, which also has a direct impact on the user experience and rewards on Steemhunt. This staking system will have also an impact on how the holders will react after the tokens will be launched at the first exchange, as for an active Steemhunt user you will need a minimum amount of tokens to enjoy the community.

n. The announcement of IEO and listing at exchanges: 25.02.2019 Source

 The most recent and exciting news was the IEO for Hunt tokens. We now know that the listing for the first ever SMT based project on an exchange will be Daybit and that it is planned between April and May. The three IEO's at IDCM, Probit and Daybit were very successful and closed partly in seconds and mostly in a few minutes. It means that the request for a solid community-based project and tokens is out there and it gives also a bright picture for the project itself, as we are now waiting for the next pillars from Steemhunt, Reviewhunt and Ideahunt~!

2. Conclusion

 [Source:Karsten Würth](https://unsplash.com/photos/rafblRbne3o)

We can see the long and intense history (for a blockchain project) from Steemhunt to prepare the product and community first, before asking investors for money. It also proves that investors are willing to spend their time and money into a project where most of the holders of tokens are actual users of the community. At the moment where business are able to anchor their marketing needs at Reviewhunt and also sell their products directly at Ideahunt, we will see the whole token economy of Hunt tokens working as they supposed to be. Exciting moments are waiting for all Hunters, Steemians and Investors.

 The JJM Chart is showing the following data. * Price : 0.1 Steem / JJM * Compared before day: +20,040 JJM (JJM tokens added to the total volume compared to the day before) * Total Qty: 1,439,378 JJM (Total Qty in Market holding without locked-up Qty and found Qty.) * JJM holders: 150 accounts (+1 account) (except the founders' accounts) * The current Market value (except founders Qty.) translates to a holders market cap of 143,937STEEM. * Details can be found under https://passionbull.github.io/jjm-list/ made by @jacobyu 

We had yesterday a historic day where the JJM token had been reached the 0.1 STEEM level. The interesting part is that the 2nd of April was a bull day for BTC where the price increase was over 15%, but as you can see on JJM it does not directly react on effects of the crypto market. This is mainly driven because of the low Qty. available of JJM and additionally the low number of accounts holding JJM in the current moment. We will see a larger number of accounts holding JJM as soon as the JJM Steemmonsters tournaments are starting.


The daily overview of the DEX https://steem-engine.com/ is showing JJM as the highest volume in the last 24 hours with 716USD volume. It is compared to other tokens on Steem-Engine much higher, but on the other side compared to larger exchanges in the moment still a “not mentionable volume”. Steemmonsters BETA and ALPHA PACK tokens are moving on a similar level of around 10-20USD per day.

Upcoming Events

• Steemmonsters Tournament Event

 There is a Steemmonsters Tournament planned from JJM to increase the awareness of Steemmonsters and also for JJM. Key players from the KR Steemmonsters community like @bji1203, @glory7 have involved to architect the best possible tournament and @danbain, who had organized esports league in bigger formats has taken the lead to make this tournament not only a single event but a successful series and a win-win situation for @steemmonsters, JJM and Steem itself.

The name for the tournament has now been fixed, so we are a step closer to open the tournament.

안녕하세요, @jayplayco 입니다.

@steemhunt의 첫 IEO가 IDCM에서 성공적으로 끝나고 Probit에서 두번째 와 세번째 아요(IEO)도 매우 성공적이였습니다. (아요 11초 완판~) 현재 스팀헌트의 헌트 토큰을 가지고 있는 투자자분들이 늘어나고 있고, 특히 스팀 생태계 밖에서 투자자가 들어오는 좋은 현상이 발생하고 있습니다. 몇일전 Daybit에서 헌트토큰 상장이 공지되면서 SMT 기반의 첫 댑이 정식적으로 중앙화된 거래소에 상장될 예정입니다. 그동안 스팀헌트팀과 커뮤니티가 열심히 달려온 결과라고 볼 수 있겠습니다.

스팀헌트의 경우 여러채널에서 아요(IEO)에 관한 질문들을 받고 있습니다만 (디스코트, 텔레그램) 특히 한국 유저분들을 위해 카카오톡방을 운영중에 있습니다. (https://open.kakao.com/o/g1odiHhb 비번: 2019 ) 여러 채널을들을 운영하면서 투자자분들과 이야기를 하다보면 여러가지 질문들이 나오는데, 그중 한가지가 특히 자주 보이긴 했습니다.

왜 헌트토큰은 데이빗에 상장됩니까? 다른 큰 거래소에 상장하는게 더 좋지 않은가요?

이것 관련해서 좀 더 파보겠습니다.

1. 블록체인 프로젝트에게 거래소 상장 의미는?

 [Source: Chris Li](https://unsplash.com/photos/6Y6OnwBKk-o)

2017년은 무지막지하게 많은 ICO들이 펀딩을 했고 그 돈으로 제품을 만들겠다고 약속을 했습니다. 뒤돌아 보면 이것은 사실상 백서 한장 달랑 들고 투자를 받은것이고, 투자 “후”에 무엇인가를 만들어내겠다는 WWW의 춘추전국시대 이후 다시 불어온 “묻지마 투자”의 시대였다고 봐도 됩니다. 보통 ICO를 진행할때는 그 프로젝트 홈페이지에서 ETH나 BTC를 받고 자기 토큰을 발행해주는데, 보통은 prototype을 만들때 써야 할 돈을 블록체인 ICO는 마케팅에 다 부어서 펀딩을 받는데 주력했었죠. 또한 팀을 부풀리고 개발자를 포트폴리오에 넣고 수많은 유명 어드바이저들을 영입(광팔이)를 위해 추가적인 마케팅 비용을 지불하는 것이 일반적이였습니다. 각자의 프로젝트 신뢰를 가능한 올리기 위한 기본적인 작업이였던 것이죠.

 [Source: Coingecko.com](https://www.coingecko.com/en?view=developer)

약 1년 반정도를 뒤로 하고 @coingecko를 살펴보면 총 4290 프로젝트들 중에 현재 지난 4주간 코드가 업데이트되어 “살아있는” 프로젝트는 63개밖에 안됩니다. 이는 선별되어 리스팅된 코인게코의 프로젝트들 중 실제로 1.4%만 정말 개발에 돈을 쓰고 있다고 보셔도 되는 것입니다. 이게 쇼킹한것인가요? 네 그럼요! 그렇다고 놀랍나요? 그렇지는 않습니다. 예상할 수 있었던 일이니까요.

2017년 Bull시장때 “블록체인”이 언급만 되어있어도 투자자들이 너도나도 모여서 돈을 넣었고, 그 이후 수많은 흑우들을 낳게 되었습니다. 좋은 의도로 ICO를 시작했던 프로젝트들도 코인 가격들이 내려가면서 운영이 어려워졌고요. (예: 스팀잇…. .ㅠㅠ) 여러 군데 거래소에 상장을 하고 영향력을 넓혀도 어드바이져들, 초기 프라이빗 세일 고래나 ICO 고래들이 던진 물량에 코인 생태계는 망가지거나 가격 방어가 안되어서 무너지는 것도 자주 볼 수 있었습니다.

하지만 그래도 거래소 상장은 프로젝트 생태계에 중요한 Milestone 입니다. 일부 토큰들은 DEX형태의 거래소에 자동 등록되기도 하는데, 실제 DEX들은 지난 2017년의 호황기를 지나 현재는 90%넘게 거래량이 줄어 허덕이고 있는것도 사실입니다. 일부 TRON, EOS의 DEX들은 게임, 도박댑들을 중심으로 어느정도 거래량을 보이기도 하고, 스팀의 경우는 스팀엔진이 시작되면서 많은 토큰 프로젝트들이 생성되어 스팀 생태계의 바람을 넣어주고 있습니다. (@steemsc, @jjm13) 하지만 이도 실질적인 투자자층을 찾기 위해서는 중앙화된 거래소 상장이 불가피한 것도 사실입니다. 결국 많은 외부 투자자를 찾을 수 있는 곳은 중앙 거래소이기 때문입니다.

2. 어떻게 코인을 상장할 수 있는가?

 [Source: Jordan Rowland](https://unsplash.com/photos/WtllOYrN70E)

각 프로젝트와 거래소에 따라 조금씩 다르긴 합니다. 그러나 두가지 방법정도를 정의한다면 다음과 같습니다.

a. 프로젝트가 충분히 인지도가 있어서 거래소가 상장에 관심을 보임

이것은 일반적으로 이미 다른 거래소에 성공적으로 상장되어 활발하게 거래가 되고 있거나, 충분히 인지도가 있는 프로젝트이거나할 경우에 해당됩니다. 스팀의 경우가 비슷합니다. 가끔가다가 스팀의 피드를 보면 “어디어디 거래소에 상장을 위해 투표하고 있으니 참여해주세요~!” 라고 스팀 커뮤니티에 호소하는 글들을 볼 수 있습니다. (아, 그때 투표에서 이긴 거래소들은 도대체 어떻게 된거지?) 이는 스팀이라는 블록체인 프로젝트가 이미 인지도가 있어 투표와 같은 제도를 통해 상장을 결정하고 거래소가 상장에 관심을 갖는 경우입니다. 이럴때는 만약 프로젝트를 리딩하는 팀이 직접 거래소와 조금더 편하게 네고를 할 수 있는 상황이 만들어지고 마케팅 비용도 최소화할 수 있습니다.

b. 프로젝트가 거래소에 상장을 원할 경우

보통 이럴때는 상당히 높은 상장 비용이 들어가게 됩니다. 거래소측에서는 높은 %의 마케팅용 토큰을 요구하는 것이 보통이고 일부는 자체 프로젝트 토큰이 아닌 타 코인(BTC, ETH 등)을 추가로 마케팅/상장 비용으로 요구하는 경우도 있습니다. 보통 거래소 상장을 하게 되면 초기에 이벤트를 많이 하시는 것을 보실 수 있는데, 이 비용들도 보통은 그 프로젝트에서 마케팅 비용으로 지불하게 되는 비용들입니다.

이런식의 상장시 투자자들이 거래를 위해 더 많은 거래소가 생기는 장점이 있는 반면에 마케팅으로 풀리는 물량과 상장 비용 들어가서 프로젝트를 운영하는 입장에서는 비용대비 효율을 잘 따져야 합니다.

3. 왜 데이빗이 SMT 프로젝트인 스팀헌트를 상장하기에는 최적인가?


데이빗이 헌트 토큰을 최초로 상장하는 거래소로 선택된 것에는 전략적인 여러 이유가 있습니다. 데이빗 거래소에 대한 장단점을 보면서 분석을 해보겠습니다.

장점

• 데이빗은 스팀헌트를 상장하기 위해 STEEM/SBD 도 같이 상장했습니다.
• 데이빗은 ERC-20기반인 헌트 토큰을 추후 SMT 토큰으로 스와핑할 수 있는 자체 지갑 기술을 보유하고 있습니다.
• 데이빗은 곧 FIAT(원화) 거래를 제공할 예정입니다.
• 데이빗은 한국 뿐만 아니라 인터네셔널한 투자자들의 접근이 가능합니다.
• 데이빗은 스팀헌트와 같이 SMT 도입시 필요한 거래소측 개발을 할 준비가 되어 있고 능력이 있습니다.
• 스팀헌트를 마케팅하기 위해서 많은 마케팅 비용을 쓰기로 했습니다.
• 거래소 솔루션이 뛰어납니다.
• 데이빗의 API 를 공유함으로써 스팀헌트가 리뷰헌트 도입시 기업 트랜스액션을 데이빗을 통해 진행할 수 있습니다.
• 모기업인 체인파트너스가 오랜 기간동안 스팀헌트의 어드바이저와 파트너입니다.
• 모기업인 체인파트너스가 이런 개발을 지원할 수 있는 자금력이 있습니다.

단점

• 거래 볼륨이 크지 않다.
• 거래소 토큰인 데이가 과거 전략적으로 잘못 세팅되어 폭락함.
• 네임 밸류가 아직은 낮음

사실 여기서 단점중 가장 중요한 볼륨이 걱정되는 것은 사실입니다. 스팀헌트 프로젝트를 키우기 위해서는 거래량이 발생해야 하기 때문입니다. 만약 데이빗이 지금 현 상태에서 그냥 머물고 있다면 헌트토큰의 상장이 문제가 될 수 있습니다.

다행이 데이빗도 문제점을 인식하고 전반적인 전략 수정을 통해서 토자자들을 설득하고자 움직이고 있으며 이중에는

• 원화 거래 상장
• Day 토큰 전략 전면 수정
• 투자자들과 커뮤니케이션 강화

등이 있습니다. 또한 토큰 최초 상장을 위한 노력의 일환중 하나가 스팀헌트의 헌트 토큰 상장입니다.
사실상 스팀헌트 입장에서는 큰 거래소에 비싼 입장료를 지불하고 수많은 알트중 하나가 되어 자전거래외에는 거래가 없는 토큰이 되는 것 보다는, 데이빗과 함께 상장 및 성장하고 성공적인 모델을 만들어서 대형 거래소의 컨택을 먼저 받는 전략을 세우고 있는 것입니다.

4. 스팀헌트는 어디로 가고 있는 것인가?

 월 실 사용자수를 보면 많은 것을 답하는 것으로 생각됩니다. SMT를 지향하는 댑중 40만 월 유저와 일 3만 유저를 만들고 있는 것입니다. 외부 투자자들도 스팀헌트때문에 스팀에 대한 관심을 갖기 시작하며 스팀 생태계에 대한 이해를 하는 것을 볼 수 있습니다. 

또한 눈에 띄는 것은 이전에는 보이지 않던 네이버에서의 스팀헌트의 모습니다. 스팀이 구글에서는 SEO가 강하지만 네이버에서는 거의 무시를 당하는 수준입니다. 그러나 이제는 네이버에서도 잡히는 스팀헌트 관련 블로그와 기사들을 쉽게 접할 수 있습니다.

5. 결론

아직도 암호화폐는 겨울바람이 불고 있습니다. 그렇기 때문에 그러한 Bear 시장에서 IEO를 하는것이 쉽지 않은 것도 사실입니다. 그러나 스팀헌트 팀과 커뮤니티가 그동안 정말 잘 헤쳐나갔다고 생각하며 다음 리뷰헌트 런칭과 헌트 토큰 상장을 기대하고 있습니다.

6. 참고로..

스팀헌트 IEO가 오늘 오후 7시에 시작합니다. 데이빗 채널의 분위기를 보았을때 개인적으로는 비교적 빠르게 마무리가 될 것으로 예상됩니다. 관심있으신 분들은 미리 준비를 하시는 것을 권장드리며 PC에서 하셔야 하는 불편함이 있는 관계로 참고하시기 부탁드립니다.

스팀헌트 IEO 참여 - https://daybit.com/ieos

데이빗 IEO는 총 2개 차수로 다음과 같이 진행됩니다.

[1차 - DAY토큰 라운드]

• 일시: 2019년 4월 1일, 오후 7시 - 4월 5일, 24시 (한국시간 기준)
• 참여 가능 통화: DAY
• 가격: 0.02 USD per HUNT
• 보너스율: 20%
• 보너스 락업: 헌트 토큰 상장일로부터 60일

[2차 - STEEM 및 기타 라운드]

• 일시: 2019년 4월 8일, 오후 1시 - 4월 12일, 24시 (한국시간 기준)
• 참여 가능 통화: STEEM, BTC, ETH, EOS
• 가격: 0.02 USD per HUNT
• 보너스율: 14%
• 보너스 락업: 헌트 토큰 상장일로부터 90일

1차 데이토큰 라운드의 경우 특히 1) 보너스율이 20%라는 점, 2) 보너스 토큰 락업이 60일로 다른 보너스율 락업대비 짧다는 차별점이 있습니다.


Hi, @jayplayco here.

The first IEO at IDCM and the second and third IEO at Probit had been very successful. Steemhunt has now a lot of new HUNT token holders also outside of the Steem economy. Now that the first listing of HUNT tokens is fixed at Daybit it is now only a few weeks and the first Steem based Dapp Token is going to be launched at an exchange. This is really exciting.

As Steemhunt is running different channels to answer questions about IEO, there was various kind of communications and questions coming from potential investors about the listing. But one of the questions that I heard from time to time was the following.

Why are you listing your token at Daybit? Why not at a big exchange?

I would like to get into the details about it.

0. Repository

https://github.com/Steemhunt/web

1. What does a listing on an exchange mean?

 [Source: Chris Li](https://unsplash.com/photos/6Y6OnwBKk-o)

2017 was the year of ICO’s where a lot of projects gathered money to develop their products. This means that most of the projects were gathering the money for something they were supposed to make “after” the funding. The normal process was to secure money for marketing the ICO itself. Also, a lot of money was needed to secure a bigger team to show that the project is able to finish the promised work. Additionally, a lot of the tokens or coins were spread to so-called advisors who were giving their names for tokens. In the end, each project tried to generate as much “trust“ as possible.

 [Source: Coingecko.com](https://www.coingecko.com/en?view=developer)

Out of 4290 projects listed on @coingecko, only 63 projects had a code commit in the last 4 weeks. This means that only 1.4% of the projects listed on https://www.coingecko.com/ are currently developing their projects. Is this shocking? Yes. Is it surprising? Not really.

The rush on projects that had the world “Blockchain” somewhere included in their name was almost crazy in 2017 and investors from young to old through and mostly sunk their money into ghost projects. And even if these projects had good intentions to develop their products, the cost of keeping an ICO and the dumping later on, after listing a coin on an exchange made the life for crypto investors in this bear time really hard.

But a listing on an exchange is still a very important part of a coin/token economy. As most of the coins/tokens were meant as utility tokens (and yes, it could be debatable to define what a utility token is, but we will not go into detail here) you will need a place where investors and users can actually buy or exchange your token. Some tokens also come based on their blockchain economy with a DEX, as EOS or Tron does. But at the end, most of the investor money is moving on centralized exchanges, which is the reason that you will need your token/coin listed on such an exchange.

2. How do you get listed on an exchange?

 [Source: Jordan Rowland](https://unsplash.com/photos/WtllOYrN70E)

It depends on your project and the exchange itself, but we could define it in two ways.

a. The project is big enough that exchanges are interested

If we look into it as an example for Steem, there are from time to time different polls on exchanges to see if a certain user base would be interested in trading the cryptocurrency on their exchange. Mostly in those cases, the exchange itself is interested to bring a new cryptocurrency on board to increase the trading volume and user numbers. For a blockchain project, this would be the best way to get into additional exchanges, as the project would have a higher negotiation power than otherwise.

b. The project is approaching exchanges to be listed.

In this case, the listing comes in normal cases with a high price. Exchanges are asking for a relatively high % of tokens/coins of your project and partly also in other currencies to get your project listed. Also, another part where you need to invest in market making. So, the investing part is definitely much higher than the case a. listed above.

3. Why Daybit as first exchange listing an SMT project?


There are several strategic reasons why Daybit has been chosen as the first partner to list HUNT tokens. So let’s try to see the “Pro-Contra” list to make our own picture about it.

PRO

• Daybit was willing to implement STEEM/SBD as trading pair for this project.
• Daybit can swap HUNT tokens from ERC-20 later to SMT, as they have their own wallet solution.
• Daybit will start to offer FIAT on their exchange soon.
• Daybit is offering international access (not only for Korea)
• Daybit is working very closely with Steemhunt to match the needs for an SMT based project.
• High self-marketing efforts to push Steemhunt with Daybit. (Cost)
• Sophisticated Exchange solution
• API sharing with Steemhunt to link company demands directly with Daybit transactions.
• Mother company is a long advisor and partner for Steemhunt.
• Mother company is big enough to support the efforts.

CONTRA

• Current trading volume is not big
• Own DAY currency strategy was not clear in the past.
• Name value is still low.

We can see that one of the negative points is actually really important because you will need trading volume to get your project growing and your token traded. If we would look at the current status of Daybit, it would be the wrong decision to go based on the trading volume. But the problem is, that even on bigger exchanges you will have the problem that for smaller projects the trading volume is created either with cross trading or does not exist. As Daybit announced, they are currently in the middle of realigning their strategy to get back into the top 20 of exchanges. In addition to the launch of Reviewhunt at https://steemhunt.com/, we will see an additional boost of Daybit. Steemhunt is planning to connect the Daybit API for companies, so they can buy HUNT tokens for their Reviewhunt projects easily. As Daybit is also planning to introduce FIAT(KRW) pairs, it would make it much easier for bigger companies to issue and manage the financial part of a marketing project with Reviewhunt.

4. So where is Steemhunt leading Steem?

 I think this chart is showing the best effect for the Steem blockchain. We have now due to the IEO an MAU of over 400K for a Dapp based on SMT. A lot of investors also asking general questions about Steem itself and looking into details what Steem is about. 

If you search now for Steemhunt in Korean at the major search engine “Naver”, you will find a lot of content recently created about Steemhunt outside the Steem community and also more than 130 articles related to Steemhunt on the Korean News section.

Due to the marketing efforts from Steemhunt, the search result on Google also shows a lot of new articles about Steemhunt outside the Steem economy, which is in the end also positive for Steem and Steem holders.

5. Conclusion

We have at the moment a bear market. Launching an IEO in a bear market is not an easy decision nor an easy project to handle. I think the Steemhunt team and the community have done a great job until now and I am looking forward to the launch of Reviewhunt, the listing of HUNT tokens and the next steps this amazing community will show the world.

6. By the way.

By the way, the IEO for Daybit just starts with following details. Don’t miss it!

The first batch sales are performed only with the DAY token (the exchange’s own token), and it has differentiated benefits as below:

1. The bonus rate is 20% which is one of the two highest rates in our past rounds.
2. The bonus lock-up period is 60 days which is shorter than other bonus lock-ups.

Hi, @jayplayco here.
It is finally out and Daybit announced that it will list HUNT tokens on their exchange after the final IEO.

This would be the first listing of a Steem SMT based token on a regular exchange.

Daybit will start with two token sales.

<The 1st Token Sale>

Token Sale Dates: 2019.04.01 13:00:00 (UTC +9) ~ 2019.04.05 24:00:00 (UTC +9)
Accepted Cryptocurrency: DAY
Token Sale Price: 1 HUNT: 0.02 USD (Real-time quote will be reflected)
Bonuses: Buy HUNT with DAY, get 20% Bonus
Bonus lock-up Period: 60 days
Hard Cap: 4 Million HUNTs

<The 2nd Token Sale>

Token Sale Dates: 2019.04.08 13:00:00 (UTC +9) ~ 2019.04.12 24:00:00 (UTC +9)
Accepted Cryptocurrencies: BTC, ETH, EOS, STEEM
Token Sale Price: 1 HUNT: 0.02 USD (Real-time quote will be reflected)
Bonuses: Buy HUNT with DAY, get 14% Bonus
Bonus lock-up Period: 90 days
Hard Cap: 9 Million HUNTs

The Bonus rate is much higher when buying the internal DAY token (bonus rate of 20%) and also the lockup Period is shorter with 60 days compared to the second token sales for other currencies like Steem, EOS, ETH and BTC.

Getting STEEM as pair on Daybit.

The Steemhunt team managed to convince Probit to launch Steem as pair on their platform and also managed to get Daybit on the boat to accept Steem on their exchange. This is already two exchanges more accepting Steem than before the IEO from Steemhunt.

@coingecko is already showing the Probit as a new exchange under their menu and will implement Daybit also as trading pair for Steem.

Next Steps

Daybit is looking forward to launching the first-ever SMT based project on their exchange and it would be also one of the first projects and Dapps where we have real users already using the product for over a year. It is exciting to see the project grew from the first steps as a Dapp to a full-size exchange-listed Token.

The best part is, Steemhunt is just at the beginning. Reviewhunt and Ideahunt are under development and will make a token economy based on tech geeks and influencers.


Hi, @jayplayco here.

The first IEO from Steemhunt at IDCM was very successful and reached 100% of the target within the first 3 minutes. As IDCM was allowing to overachieve the target, the final result was almost 150% and more than 5 Million HUNT tokens sold. As many Steemians have waited for an IEO where you can buy yourself in with Steem, this event is coming near and I would like to prepare all interested Steemians for this.

1. What is an IEO?

IEO means “Initial Exchange Offering”. When an ICO is planned and executed from the project itself, an IEO is done from an exchange, which means that at least one party and layer more was involved to check if a project is legit and workable for an IEO or not. For Steemhunt the first IEO at IDCM was very successful and the second IEO with Probit is also really promising, as it is going to be the first ever IEO where you can buy the Tokens with Steem. I have talked with the Steemhunt team and it seems that they had long talks with Probit and managed to convince them to establish Steem also as trading pair for the IEO at Probit. Thanks to the @probit team!

2. Summary of Steemhunt x Probit IEO

a. Date : March 19(Fri) 12:00 KST - 26(Tue) 11:59 KST (In total 5 days)
b. Price : 0.02USD / HUNT
c. 1) Bonus: 15%
2) Additional Bonus: If you buy your HUNT tokens with PROB (internal Probit Token) there is an additional 5% bonus (In total bonus of 20% is possible)
d. Bonus Qty. Lockup : 3 month
e. Total available amount : 7,5 Million HUNTs
f. Steemhunt summary at Probit : https://www.probit.com/en-us/ieo/hunt-round1/0
g. Supported Currencies : STEEM, BTC, ETH, XRP, EOS, PROB


3. Prepare yourself for the IEO

I got some complaints from potential investors who didn’t know that they need to finish the KYC at the exchange to be able to participate at the IEO. Unfortunately, it takes normally up to 24 hours to finish the whole process for KYC, so it is recommended to start with the signup earlier and finish the KYC process before the IEO starts. The main reason for that is, that the available Qty. at Probit is not that big with 7,5 Million HUNTs and you need to be ready and fast if you want to be one of the first 30 persons who benefit additionally from the special sales event.

a. Preparation

 * Sign Up at Probit : [www.probit.com](https://www.probit.com/r/58160411) with your email. There is a verification of your email requested. (Please be aware that there is a referral link included. Please connect directly to https://www.probit.com to avoid the referral) * Verify your ID:  1) You are requested to input your full name, address, 2) You will be asked to identify yourself with your Passport, Identity Card or Driver's license (may vary based on your country) 3) The verification service is handled by [Netverify.com](https://portal.netverify.com/login) by Jumio 4) In my case, the service asked also for a photo from myself to identify that I am the holder of the identification. 5) After that, you will get back to probit.com and see a message that the verification can take up to 7 days. 6) I have asked Probit through Steemhunt and for the Korean KYC (which is even more strict with 4 steps) Probits answer was that it will normally take about a day to finish the KYC process.

4. IEO Event at Probit


Like at the first IEO, also Probit prepared a Sales event and from my experience at the first IEO, the investors did their best in the first minutes to grab that bonus. There is a bonus for the top 5 investors buying most of HUNT tokens and a 5000 HUNT token bonus for the first 30 buyers buying for more than 300USD (worth 100USD).

The top five people will get the following bonus.

• 1st place (1 person) : 50,000 HUNT (worth $1,000)
• 2nd place (1 person) : 40,000 HUNT (worth $800)
• 3rd place (1 person) : 30,000 HUNT (worth $600)
• 4th place (1 person) : 20,000 HUNT (worth $400)
• 5th place (1 person) : 10,000 HUNT (worth $200)

My personal strategy would be to manage to be as fast as possible (if you are anyhow interested in buying yourself into this IEO) to try to get into the first 30 investors. The international timeline for the start would be as followed.

• Los Angeles 21th March 08:00 PM
• Mexico City 21th March 09:00 PM
• New York 21th March 11:00 PM
• São Paulo 21th March 12:00 PM
• London 22th March 03:00 AM
• Berlin, Frankfurt, Paris, Madrid, Roma 22th March 04:00 AM
• Mumbai 22th March : 08:30 AM
• Hong Kong 22th March : 11:00 AM
• Tokyo 22th March : 12:00 AM
• Sydney 22th March : 14:00 PM

Strategically, the European continent is not in a good starting time, as it is in the middle of the night. But for the American continent and Asia, Australia it looks good.
Additionally, I would not wait too long, as the first IEO was not offering STEEM but achieved 100% within the first 3 minutes and overachieved up to 50%. Probit does not offer overachieving, so when the 7,5 Million HUNTs are gone, they are gone. I have already various information from different sources that the Korean Steem community is already preparing themselves for this IEO, as they were waiting for the possibility to buy in STEEM.

As mentioned above, not only STEEM but also EOS, BTC, ETH, and XRP are available.

The Probit own PROB coin is also available and offers the biggest bonus rate (additional 5%), but after looking in detail into the exchange be informed about the following fact. Probit offers only PROB/USDT on their exchange. They have also only USDT, BTC and ETH pairs. This means the only way to get PROBs is to transfer BTC or ETH to Probit, change it to USDT and then to PROB. This may payout when the transfer loss/win is manageable, as you will get a 5% Bonus.

5. Earn additional HUNTs with referral


I am sure that there are not that many users have signed up at Probit. Steemhunt x Probit is currently running a referral event where you get 1% of your friend’s purchase when they signup with your referral code. You can find your referral code under the menu “REFERRAL PROGRAM”.

The referral code would look like the following :
https://www.probit.com/r/58160411

So if you know somebody who is interested in joining the IEO, make sure that you forward your referral link. :)

6. Conclusion

It is really great to see the team that I have supported for almost a year getting their success on the IEO market. The Steemhunt x Probit IEO is really a great opportunity to join the IEO program without any hassle, as it can be bought also with Steem. There is a good summary from Probit how they explain Steemhunt. (https://medium.com/probit-exchange/steemhunt-provides-a-launchpad-for-tech-based-innovation-248a3ddc38a8) If you find the time, you should also have a quick look at the presentation of how Steemhunt is explaining themselves on the Probit platform.
The most important part for me mentioned here is also a core about Steem.

Most ICO projects hire dozens of “just-for-fame-filling-purpose” advisors and have large team members before they create a product or entice a single user. … …
We have formed a lean team that focuses on the product, and we have created a community-driven operating system that is optimized for the decentralized environment.
Source: Steemhunt presentation

I have to say that I am proud to be part of this movement. The community is the core of the product and the community is strong. Thanks for this great community.

The hunt is on!

안녕하세요, @jayplayco 입니다.

스팀헌트의 첫 IEO는 140% 이상의 달성율로 성공리에 마감되면서 5백만 토큰 이상이 판매가 되었습니다.
스티미언분들의 경우 많이 기다리셨을 첫 스팀 기반 IEO와 실제적으로 진짜 스팀으로 구매가 가능한 IEO가 이제 곧 열리게 됩니다.

첫 IEO때 어려움이 있었던 분들이 있어서 간단하게 정리를 드리겠습니다.

1. IEO란?

Initial Exchange Offering의 약자로, ICO는 각 프로젝트가 직접 하는 것이라면, IEO는 거래소를 통해서 판매를 하는 형태입니다. 스팀헌트의 경우는 이미 첫 IEO를 IDCM에서 성공적으로 마무리를 한 상황이며 두번째 IEO는 스팀이나 원화로 구매가 가능하기 때문에 매력이 있습니다.

2. 프로빗 스팀헌트 IEO 요약

a. 일시 : 2019년 3월 22일(금) 12:00 - 2019년 3월 26일(화) 11:59 => 총 5일
b. 보너스 : 15%
c. 추가보너스 : 원화입금후 PROB 코인구매해서 사면 추가 5% (총 맥스 20% 가능)
d. 보너스 락업 기간 : 3달
e. 프로빗 구매 가능 수량 : 750만개
f. 프로빗 스팀헌트 요약 사이트 : https://www.probit.kr/ko-kr/ieo/hunt-round1/0
g. 스팀헌트 IEO 관련 공식 톡방 : https://open.kakao.com/o/g1odiHhb


3. 프로빗 IEO 준비하기

a. 준비사항

• 프로빗 가입 : www.probit.kr첫 가입절차는 이메일과 이메일 인증으로만 가능합니다. (제 레퍼럴 들어있습니다. 하하^^)
• 추가 인증이 필요함 (KYC) : 1) 핸드폰 본인인증 => 여기까지만 해도 IEO는 참가 가능.

  2) 계좌인증 (은행계좌연동) 
  3) 증빙서류 인증 (주민증, 운전면허증, 여권) -> 증사진, 증 들고 있는 사진, 서약서 작성(증 첨부 사진). => 여기까지 하셔야지 원화 입금이 됩니다.

  

4. 주의사항

스팀헌트 공식 톡방 (https://open.kakao.com/o/g1odiHhb)에 프로빗측에서 나오신 소피아님이 현재 상주하고 계십니다. 궁금한것이 있으면 빠른 답변으로 응대해주십니다.

• 현재 원화로 입금후 구입을 할 경우 가장 높은 수익률을 기대할 수 있어서 프로빗의 원화 입금 => 프로브 코인 구매=> 스팀헌트 IEO 참가가 이익일것으로 예상됩니다. 하지만 원화 입금은 KYC를 사진까지 찍어서 보내야 하며 (이것도 비교적 귀찮긴 한데, 할만은 합니다…) 그리고 원화 입금후 강화된 입금 정책에 의해 3일후에 입금 처리가 되어서 정말 빨라야 23일이나 24일경에 구매가 가능할것 같긴 합니다. 이때 한가지 걱정되는것은 총 물량이 750만개밖에 안되어서 완판이 빨리 되면 원화 입금만 되고 물량이 없는 경우가 있다는 부담이 있긴 합니다.

• 암호화폐 입금의 경우는 입금후 곧바로 쓸 수 있기 때문에, 스팀, BTC, ETH, XRP, EOS까지 가능합니다.

5. 꿀 레퍼럴 이벤트

프로빗은 아직 가입 안하신 분들 많이 계실것이라고 생각됩니다. 이번에 프로빗에서 레퍼럴 이벤트까지 진행이 되어서 레퍼럴로 들어와서 IEO 참여시 구매의 1%를 지급을 해준다고 합니다.

프로빗 가입하시고, 마이페이지에서 추천인 제도의 링크를 복사하셔서 스팀헌트 IEO를 프로빗 링크와 널리 알리시면 구매 헌트 토큰의 1%까지 얻을 수 있는 방법입니다.

아직 가입 안하신 분들은 제 레퍼럴로 가입하셔도 환영입니다. ^^ ㅋㅋ
https://www.probit.kr/r/86635301

6. 결론

스팀으로 구매가 가능하기 때문에 기대가 큰 IEO 이며 KYC도 핸드폰 인증까지만 해서 귀찮은 것도 별로 없어서 좋은 것 같습니다. 한가지 걱정은 프로빗에서 제공하는 총 헌트 토큰이 750만개밖에 안되어서 지난 IDCM에서 봤을때 100%가 너무 빨리 되면 늦게 오시는 분들은 또 다음 IEO를 기다려야 한다는 것입니다. 프로빗의 경우는 100% 시 추가로 받는다는 것도 없는듯 하여, First come First get인것으로 판단됩니다.

안녕하세요, @jayplayco 입니다.

지금 스팀잇 재단이 ddos 공격을 받고 있다고 하네요.

https://steempeak.com/steemit/@steemitblog/intermittent-outages-due-to-ddos

주 공격 대상은 steemit.com 이라는 인터페이스구요, 블록체인 자체는 상관이 없다고 합니다. 현재 스팀잇 팀은 이를 방지하기 위해서 작업을 하고 있는 상황입니다만 아직도 스팀잇 사이트는 불안정한 상황입니다.

이는 최근에 실행한 steemit.com에 주었던 변화와는 무관하다고 합니다. 가장 빠른 소식통은 @steemitblog 가 될것으로 보입니다.

 안녕하세요, @jayplayco 입니다.

온라인 업체입장에서 절대 일어나면 안되는 일은 서비스가 불통인 경우입니다. 서비스의 대한 신뢰도와 접근성, 그리고 실질적으로 서비스를 통해 수익을 얻을 경우 직접적으로 cash flow에도 문제가 생깁니다.

현재 스팀잇 재단에서 운영하는 steemit.com 도메인이 이미 30분째 504 Gateway Time-Out을 보여주고 있습니다.


현재 텍사스 기준 (스팀잇 재단 본사) 시간 오후 7시정도입니다. 기술적 비상체계가 안갖춰진것인지, 아직 모르고 있는 것인지, 아니면 코드를 건들어서 생각보다 큰 사고인지는 두고봐야할 것 같습니다.

이럴때를 위해서 기본적으로 https://steempeak.com/ 와 같은 댑들을 알고 쓰는 현명한 KR 스티미언들이 되시길 ^^

업데이트, DDos공격 받고 있는 중이랍니다.
