Hi guys, I hope you are enjoying this Sunday. It is the only day I get to relax, take a nap, and enjoy the silence. Sunday is purely a resting day.
Yet the newsletter continues. Three weeks ago, I started this with a promise to send out a newsletter every Sunday.
So here is an update along with 13 bite-sized news.

This week, once again, we have 13 bite-sized updates. Let’s get started:
#1: Update: HardFork 24 has several major improvements. It is codenamed Eclipse. Goes without saying: HF24 will continue to create hype.
#2: Steem Chat is no longer active. It is now replaced by Open Hive — with 4 simple default channels and multiple new channels created regularly. Low on users though.
Check out OpenHive.
#3: After the biggest Indonesian exchange listing Hive, we have a Nigerian exchange (Bitfxt) listing Hive on July 1st. Bitfxt isn’t hugely popular but was funded recently with $15 million. [Details]
#4: Want to try something new? Check out Hyperion. It is a minimalistic front-end to discover new Hive articles. You can also sort by tag, category, and author. Very simple and clean. [See image] [More Details]
#5: Good news: Quidax is another African-based exchange that created this poll to vote for your favourite tokens. Among the 4 tokens listed, Hive won.
#6: Ever wondered what is the average payout per post? Answer: ~30 cents. Arcange reveals a bunch of charts too. [Details]
#7: Now you can get your own token, a website, and a tribe through Hive-Engine. Basically, any business can be on blockchain. [Details]
#8: SteemGyft has moved to Hive. They are offering gift cards at a 15% premium price. One can pay through Hive or HBD. Link: HiveGiftCards.com — only offers Amazon gift cards. [Details]
#9: @Steem.leo's LEO (Hive-based token) is now listed on Cryptex24. This move adds value to the entire Hive ecosystem. [Listing details]
#10: @Swap.app deserves a shoutout. In one simple click, you can trade your Steem, Hive, and HBD. Send the token from your Hive wallet to Swap. It is that simple. Check out how it works here.
#11: For those who play dCity, the game rolled out its first presidential elections. The deadline for voting is 7 days. Elected president will set city taxes.
#12: Ever seen a “Hive” tweet with 5000+ likes? We have one here from a Steem whale who is moving to Hive. Show your support. 🔥
#13: Did you know: Hive has completed 100 days today! YES! 100 wonderful days. Here’s to the next 100! Cheers! 🥂🎊
