What's New Today
This section will always contain something new so if you have read previous updates you may not want to read anything after the big update logo below. Everything after that contains updated statistics on the various platforms that we use to support independent music and other pertinent information that we think everyone should be aware of so will always be present.If this is the first time you have read one of these updates then we recommend you read it all and decide what may be of benefit to you.
Cryptopia Attack Update
You are probably aware that the crypto currency exchange Cryptopia was hacked earlier this week. As this is the main exchange that a lot of us use to trade Musicoin it is concerning. Thhe only other exchange you can currently trade Musicoin on is Bittrex according to CoinMarketCap We are unable to access the exchange for the foreseeable future and the matter is in the hands of the New Zealand Police (where the exchange is located). Keep an eye on Cryptopia's Twitter account for the latest information.

The more people that join us the more we can help and the quicker we grow.And remember that I will sponsor those who delegate regularly (via

The catch up for last Sunday's show is now available here.

AIRPLAY Token Automation
AIRPLAY is now set up on Whaleshares and is listed on the Whaletoken Info Page.
So if you send AIRPLAY to the-jukebox via Btshares you should get the reward automatically now.
Please read the introduction post to find out more about AIRPLAY.
EasyDEX / EasySocial
I recently found out about EasyDEX and have been investigating it as they have some pretty ambitious goals!
I am not going to go into lots of detail here as I'd rather continue learning and then do a separate post and video when I feel I understand it all enough.
However there is one piece of information I felt it was worth mentioning now so you can all benefit - Portfolio Builder Tokens
What Are Portfolio Builder Tokens?
In their own words:
So by holding these tokens you will get distributions of other tokens into your portfolio.EasyDex Portfolio Builder tokens (EASYDEX.PB on the DEX) were designed for investors who want to maintain an ever-expanding portfolio of a variety of crypto tokens. Holders of EasyDex Portfolio Builder tokens receive regular sharedrops of all of the crypto assets for which EasyDex runs bridge services in the amount of 50% of the market fees collected on the decentralized exchange. Since we are constantly adding new tokens on our bridge services, these tokens will allow holders to quickly grow a large, diverse portfolio.
Since each token added to the bridge services requires an investment on the part of EasyDex in terms of both back-end infrastructure and development, we will only add tokens that our research has shown will have a future and maintain or increase their value.
EasyDex Portfolio Builder tokens have a maximum supply of 1 million tokens. We will have an initial token presale of 100 thousand tokens available on the decentralized exchange for a cost of 40 BTS each. Following the initial presale there will be an EOS-style token campaign in which tokens will be distributed each day to people who donated to the pool based on their donation level. 800 thousand tokens will be distributed in the campaign. The remaining 100 thousand tokens will be distributed through contests, bounties, and as rewards to people that have helped EasyDex.
EasySocial
The main reason I got interested in the PB token was the fact that they are also launching a STEEMIT fork called "EasySocial" and they will be doing a share drop in a similar way to the one that was done on Whaleshares when it launched. So we have an opportunity to get in early and hit the ground running when the platform launches!
If you hold PB and/or BTS in your Bitshares account then you will be eligible for the share drop. Obviously holding PB is more beneficial for the reasons mentioned above.
How To Buy PB Tokens on Bitshares
- Firstly you will need a free Bitshares account.
- Next watch this video I created recently on using SBD (from Steemit) to buy WLS but simply use the EASYDEX.PB_BTS trading pair instead.
- Join the EasyDEX Discord to learn more.
Once I learn more about when the share drop is going to take place I'll update you in once of these daily updates so make sure you read them every day.
Get Sponsored For Delegating And Receive UPVOTES FOR LIFE!
To encourage regular delegations we use STEEM rewards earned by @MusicVoter to sponsor recent delegators via the awesome @SteemBasicIncome.
You will not automatically get a sponsorship if you delegate but if you delegate frequently (the amount does not influence our decision) then you are more likely to get sponsored.
