We have raised the bar once again for dCity MobileMarket! By integrating sting chat, we connect deeper into HIVE-based technologies like Sting, featured in Open Peak, open source development, as well as solve some social and technical needs for our actual user base!

First I should back up, and talk about dCity perhaps. Its a great game, and over the years some discussion has been had and even efforts been made at "onboarding". The never seemed to work, for two reasons.
- A mobile first market was needed ✔️
- "Toxic discord" ✔️
Its not really toxic.
Its just culture!
Okay, sure many of us know. Even @gerber knows, and it was him telling me that I could make a channel or discord where he couldn't type, that lead me to thinking about "other channels".
Enter the Open Genie Community.
Open Peak is a great example to learn from in open source development. After learning more about the possibilities of Hive encryption, with multiple keys, I was fascinated to learn about the posting key encrypted, custom json communication channel developed by @peak.open and team.
Well I will trumpet more about them in another post after claiming the bounty.
A dedicated, Hive-native chat channel to answer questions related to our mobile-first game app. Perfect.
We will continue to clean up around the edges, but the next moves involve launching a "NFT training club" where we teach people to "buy low sell high" and earn 100%+ apr with 3 or 4 dollars in dCity, while learning about all the technology.
This is somewhat of an onboarding business plan - let's see if I can find some champions of low cost strategies for dCity to help me on the "inboarding" front. But I have plenty of cards and motivation to make it as easy as possible for interested parties to pay just a few dollars to get in and learn.
Next on the roadmap is to get the official announcement in the dCity discord that we are the "official" dCity Mobile-first market app, and then get listed in HIVE Keychain, instead of the (fully featured and wonderful but not mobile-friendly) main dCity.io site.
