I recently came across an exciting development for those of you who have been wondering whether or not to diversify some of your STEEM and/or BTC holdings and purchase some ARK tokens.
First of all, what is ARK?
ARK provides users, developers, and startups with innovative blockchain technologies. We aim to create an entire ecosystem of linked chains and a virtual spiderweb of endless use-cases that make ARK highly flexible, adaptable, and scalable. ARK is a secure platform designed for mass adoption and will deliver the services that consumers want and developers need.
You can get a little taste of ARK by checking out the faucet at delegate (think Witness) biz_classic 's website.
First I downloaded the desktop ARK Wallet from the official website. I quickly and easity created an account and copied my address.
I then purchased 6 ARK on Bittrex as a test, which I sent to my wallet for a 0.1 ARK fee. I then voted for biz_classic as my delegate, which cost 1 ARK.
The top 51 delegates on the ARK Blockchain "forge" tokens, similar to Witnesses on the Steemit blockchain. This delegate has chosen to give back up to 90% of their earned tokens to their voters, plus give back even more through their faucet. Your rewards are tripled on the faucet if you verify your account as a voter for their delegate.
The faucet itself is available on our official website, as well via a link on the main header bar. Anyone can visit the page and will be eligible to earn money from the faucet, but as a special thank you for our voters and their continued support to biz_classic, all voters will permanently receive triple the ARK from the faucet, including those who vote for us after the faucet is launched. The faucet will serve as a nice bonus and your earnings from it will accumulate into your pending balance along with your staked earnings.
If you like sites like Free Bitcoin (Referral Link), this one is a can't miss for a very promising technology.
