The Shortest Way to OpenLedger DEX, Apptrade News, Live with RonnyB...

For more than 1 year and a half we have been using bitshares.openledger.info as a direct link to OpenLedger DEX, it has generally seemed too long for anyone to really feel at ease in sharing especially worth of mouth a bit complicated, so we have arranged for this road to be even shorter! From now on you have an alternative version and server for the decentralized exchange OpenLedger also known as the DEX which is OpenLedger.io - very simple and straightforward as it should be. This is the official URL for the DEX of OpenLedger and will be the domain used in official statements etc.

In general you have available the following url's all of them supporting a direct path to the DEX and supported by 3 servers: www.openledger.io; www.openledger.co; www.openledger.hk; www.dex.openledger.info; www.bitshares.openledger.info and www.eu.openledger.info.

The official information site giving the visitor an overall view of OpenLedger DC (decentralized conglomerate) is then to be used the URL www.openledger.info now and in future. A fully updated website will follow shortly.

All of the above links including the information site can be used in connection with your referral link, so that https://bitshares.openledger.info?r=obits or https://openledger.io?r=obits and so forth "?r=" for all domains will be all valid. With your own account all you do is substitute obits account name with your own and you have your very own active referral code if upgraded to lifetime member.

As a new partner with OpenLedger and its crowdfunding solutions, we welcome BraveNewCoin and their first article on OpenLedger news, introducing Apptrade and its stockmarket of apps, the "Kickstarter" on the blockchain.

No app is an island

Smartphones have quickly become an integral part of everyday life, for communication to remotely managing our finances and consuming online media. Statista estimates that more than two billion people, a quarter of the world’s population, are smartphone users, and predicts that number will rise to 2.8b by 2020.

Alongside the adoption of smartphones is an increase in application (app) adoption around the globe. The mobile app industry is estimated to have generated over US$88b in 2016, and is predicted to be worth as much as US$188b by 2020. Revenue is typically generated through in-app purchases, ads and big data accumulation.

According to a Vserv.mobi survey, 82 percent of game and app development companies cited monetization as a key challenge. 100 percent of developers with a single application said that they make less than US$1000 per month.

Daniel Pineda is one of many to launch an app and experience the frustrations of app distribution. “It was an obsession to answer the question of ‘what makes an app go viral?’,” Pineda says.
The Founder of Apptrade then stumbled across a Business to Business digital goods market, where developers were “flipping apps” like investors flip homes. “We realized that sometimes small app publishers don't have the resource to push a game forward. Developers would sell off portfolios, not as licenses, but the total rights to new buyers with better resources.”
