Welcome dear HIVE-Community!
We have already introduced ourselves to the German-speaking community and would now like to do the same for all English-speaking readers.
As you would expect from the title, we have named our company Druckado and as such we have specialized in many areas of 3D printing.
On our website we offer many services, hardware and accessories in this area, but this article will be more about the combination of all this with the Hive blockchain.
As mentioned to our german readers before, there are of course reasons why we as a company have chosen HIVE as our main focus when it comes to social media technologies. Today we would like to explain them to you in a little more detail.
For our needs, the HIVE blockchain natively offers almost everything we consider necessary to build a large, mutually supportive community in the best possible way!
The vision
Imagine you have a 3D printer at home, print out something great, make a few good pictures or a video with a corresponding text article and then publish this as a post on HIVE, which is already massively operated in this style on platforms such as Instagram etc..
But now on Hive you have the possibility to be rewarded for these posts by upvotes in Crypto (HIVE/HBD)!
This could for example relativize the costs for the filament of your last print or you even might be able to buy a new roll of filament for your future prints.
In the best case, this is not only you, but thousands of other people who support each other in this "cycle" - and at the latest then it becomes really interesting for each individual here!
Exactly this bridge is what we are going to build.
Just the fact to unite Blockchain and 3D printing, 2 of the most groundbreaking future technologies under one roof with this direct social media connection based on Crypto.... Simply a dreamlike picture with countless possibilities for each individual among the participants!
The basic keystone is already established with the implementation of Hivepay on our homepage, where currently any services and products can be paid in HIVE/HBD.
The preparations regarding the distribution and reseller deals are almost finished, for example we now got a direct line to the main distributor of Raise3D in Germany, which offers us some nice advantages, which we can pass on directly to you - but more about this elsewhere or via PM ;).
Unfortunately, our website is presently only available in German, so we kindly ask you to use a translation tool at the moment.
>>>We currently only ship Europe-wide, but we are working on expanding our range.<<<
Onboarding
was of course an important topic in this process, which we also took care of! By clicking on the following banner, readers from outside the chain can easily and quickly create their own Hive account!
Many thanks to @Roomservice at this point :)!
We fundamentally recommend the "KeyChain" browser extension to new users! Please follow the instructions on the website.
Save your keys multiple times, never enter your owner key!
It is also recommended to use the Peakd.com frontend.
Discord
is a great place to talk to each other - here you can talk about everything, but especially about 3D printing and the HIVE blockchain.
(English Area @ next update!)
We hope that this article has clarified our vision in this context and of course it would be helpful to hear from you if you have any suggestions or ideas in this regard - if so, feel free to leave a comment ;).
