We all know, some of these applications built on the Hive blockchain are not quite what they seem... Or they may be exactly what they seem, especially if they look sort of unfinished, unused, and barely visited. So it may be understandable, that folks like me, who check out one of these sites for a while, soon abandon it again, even if it clearly has potential.
Take HiveList for Example
Ever since I first started blogging back on the old chain, having a well working online store built on the blockchain was the most incredible thing I could imagine. There were various attempts, many very exciting ones, but none that actually remained to become the go-to place for online shopping. Too bad! So I was understandably psyched when I found HiveList.
You may remember my post from seven months ago. That's when I posted the leather bags for sale on HiveList, as well as FB Marketplace. To make a long story short, no one on HiveList tried to scam me (but feel free to read the details of my experience the other shopping site). However, at the same time it seems like there was not too much traffic on HiveList, as I didn't manage to sell anything.
One Last Bag Still Up For Grabs
If you were wondering, the only bag that's still available to buy is the small shoulder bag, where I reduced the price to healthy $100. Which is just about €100. Or of course 100 HBD, why else would I advertise it on the blockchain? So let me know if it sparks your interest!
NFT Market
Though in the end it was not my unsold bags that got me to revisit HiveList, but something completely different: its incredible NFT Market. Okay, the Punks on Hive and Hive Folks gave me a sufficient taste of weird, pixelly images that may (or may not) increase in value. But now, , a fellow Hivean has started minting NFTs of herself. And the images are actually quite pretty, a bit artistic, and though I'm again not sure about how much they may go up in value, I know for a fact that it does provide an incentive to share her posts. So share them I will, and hope to start a collection.
If you are also interested, go ahead and visit HiveList NFTs and definitely check out her blog. For each re-share of her recent posts (the ones that still haven't gotten a payout) you will be given an NFT, as long as supply lasts. She also explains it herself how it works in this post. And as for HiveList, let's try to make it the most kick-ass online store around! Maybe then it will start moving a bit faster!
