Introduction to FanChain's Blogger Account - Why Blogger

Community. Decentralization. Transparency. The bulwarks of the blockchain and crypto movements direct emphasis towards the principles of liberating technologies. Many of the communication tools that support the social structure of these communities harken back to the bygone chatroom era: 4chan, Reddit, Telegram and Discord retain (relatively - looking at you, Reddit) open environments where people can share ideas, content and information in spaces not regulated by custodians. Custodians have points of views, political leanings and agendas. Custodians are gatekeepers. 

And at the heart of the blockchain and crypto movement is the dissolution of gatekeepers.

Unfortunately, one of the most popular platforms for discussions about and around cryptocurrency was Medium. But Medium has recently converted into just another thought regulator, more protective of their own acquirability than of the free expressions of their users. Medium has become a censor. 

So we are reviving a classic! At least insofar as we can tell Blogger has not instituted any barriers to the free and open discussion of blockchain and crypto. And so on this blog, with the old school headers and limited, early-oughts style themes, we hope we have found a haven where we can safely and freely let interested people know about a project very near and dear to our hearts; a project into which we pour ourselves day in and day out; a project we call FanChain.

FANZ in the Wild | Ep. V - "Ledger Hedger: Sports Betting in the FanChain Ecosystem"

FANZ in the Wild In the FanChain ecosystem, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the Mints, who stamp and distribute the tokens, and the fanz, who put them to use. These are their stories. IN THIS EPISODE Ledger Hedger: Sports Betting in the FanChain Ecosystem Dig if you will the picture: You get a notification from your go-to sports betting application that a has posted a bet that he thinks your favorite team is going to lose by 4 points tonight, and he is willing to wager 1,000 FanChain tokens that he’s right. The poster of the bet could be in Beijing, he could be in Rio or in London or New York. (Part of the beauty of a unified and decentralized system is that there is no requirement to cross regulatory or conversional barriers.) Accepting the bet is as simple as clicking Accept, as your FanWallet is linked to your account. At this point the participants in the bet have 1,000 FanChain tokens staked, ostensibly locked in e...

FANZ in the Wild | Ep. II - "FanChain Fantasy"

FANZ in the Wild In the FanChain ecosystem, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the Mints, who stamp and distribute the tokens, and the fanz, who put them to use. These are their stories. IN THIS EPISODE FanChain Fantasy A popular type of fantasy draft is an auction draft. Each member of a league starts out with the same amount of fictional money with which to bid on players. A top-tier player might cost 40% or nearly 50% of a draft budget, so owners have to develop strategies to ensure a competitive roster. Imagine if this auction budget is not fictional currency, but real currency. Imagine it is comprised of FanChain tokens. In a fantasy league built on the FanChain ecosystem members could stake equal quantities of tokens and then draw down on their totals in order to place bids on players. The tokens bid could go into a pot, which becomes the winner’s prize at the end of the season, or at least a portion of it. This would ...

FANZ in the Wild | Ep. III - "Staking FANZ Replaces Sneaky, Out-Dated Fiat-based Subscription Models"

FANZ in the Wild In the FanChain ecosystem, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the Mints, who stamp and distribute the tokens, and the fanz, who put them to use. These are their stories. IN THIS EPISODE Staking FANZ Replaces Sneaky, Out-Dated Fiat-based Subscription Models This is a true story. My wife recently got accepted to graduate school. Included in her education are discounts to platforms like Amazon, Hulu, Spotify and, auspiciously for us, a cacophony of other content providers and streaming services. This prompted me to cancel all of my subscriptions so that we could save cash by utilizing her discounts. What seemed simple enough turned into an anxiety storm. Admitting to my wife that I was, essentially, throwing over $200 a month away was not exactly the sort of picture of myself I wanted to paint. I consider life to be a series of transitions from stupidity to clarity, but at my age such a confession could only se...
