This publication is a 'ulog'.
Story And history of Ulogs.
Once in the past, the concept of 'ulogs' began; a simple form of content where 'u' stands for 'you'. Upon blockchain, the concept of 'ulogging' was formed.
Like blogs or vlogs, ulogs will become known to the globe as a content-form.
Established as a word in the dictionaries, 'ulogs' will form the basis for a new internet, a dynamic internet filled with humans, whereupon 'content is queen'.
Uloggers will emanate globally, similar to how there are vloggers and bloggers. "Everyone can ulog, not everyone can blog or vlog."
To remove all barriers to entry from valuable 'human activities' like 'content-creation, content-curation, content-promotion', the concept of ulogging was born.
Words still rule the world; "let there be light" and there was light.
What exactly is a ulog?
A ulog is a form of content spanning across any topic or niche, that is created 'fresh' at every instance (i.e without resourcing from that internet), composed entirely of ‘excerpts of U’.
The word 'ulog' can also be used in terms of 'a web-space made up of ulogs'. Similar to how one would say, "i have a blog" or "i have a vlog"; one can say, "i have a ulog". However, a ulog possesses tenets that allows content-creators, content-curators and content-promoters to 'consciously evolve their human', while reshaping the internet.
The letter 'u' seen in the word 'ulog', is synonymous to 'you'. A ulog created today should not have existed anywhere on the internet yesterday.
e.g when creating a ulog about 'cryptocurrency', each excerpt of your ulog, whether 'meme, image, photograph, gif, text etc', should have been created 'fresh', by YOU, without resourcing from the internet, born solely out of events, experiences, feelings, sentiments, moments derived from a particular day or instance.
The art of creating 'ulogs' is called 'ulogging'. Underlyingly, the art of ulogging is based on 'mining the human'.
The internet is built on the basis of 'blog and vlogs', whereupon 'content is king'. We created 'ulogs' to compliment what of exists of the current internet, making for an internet whereupon 'content is queen'. This way the internet can begin to serve 'information' that is 'whole', tangible for the collective evolution of the globe.
'Ulogs' is a blockchain-based innovation. It was born on a blockchain-based social media platform called Steemit. As simplistic as it looks, it can form the content-base for a 'new internet'. Applying 'unconventional paradigms', now more feasible since the advent of blockchain technology, ulogs can play a giant role in highlighting the unconventional properties of blockchain, establishing blockchain as a tangible tool applicable towards stirring breakthrough in human.
Starting out as a simple hashtag on the Steem (now Hive) blockchain, '#ulog' went on to produce some '50,000 posts and 179,000 comments' after the first six months of its inception and was used by more than 5,000 people. See stats!
Even without much 'incentive' (financial rewards), people ulogged. Uloggers began to emanate gradually, so far creating an online community of more than 5000 people.
Modeled around 'mining the human', the primary reward from ulogging is 'real human growth'.
Understanding what 'Ulogs' are, how it was formulated and its history will instantly help you understand 'Cryptoulogs'.
Every innovation emanating from our ecosystem, 'the Teardrops ecosystem' will be 'very content-based'. Our content-base? 'Ulogs'!
A cryptoulog? 'A cryptocurrency-related ulog'!
Cryptoulogs? 'Cryptocurrency-related ulogs'!
In the broader scheme of things, Cryptoulogs is a side-project emanating from the 'Teardrops ecosystem'.
Cryptoulogs.com? 'A blockchain-based social media platform based on Cryptoulogs'.
Here are some blockchain-records capturing the evolution and formation of 'ulogs':

Some More Background
The content-base of the internet (i.e ‘blogs’ and ‘vlogs’) has a certain ‘perfection’ element to it. ‘Not everyone deem themselves capable of 'blogging or vlogging’. These tangible 'human activities' have 'barriers-to-entry', by today's internet-standards. It has not been for every(any)one.
On this basis, we have an internet whereupon many questions stay un-asked, whereupon so much information isn't documented, whereupon the same content stays relevant over the course of time. This suddenly means that we have evolved by virtue of an 'internet' (information) that isn't 'whole'.
Our internet, in the face of its advancement, has been underlyingly static.
If the internet today, serves you ‘the address to the nearest ATM’ for the search-query ‘money’, it may be labeled ‘a dumb internet’. By the current 'internet-standards' (based on 'blogs and vlogs'), 'content is king'.
Alas, where the internet can begin to provide such human-driven dynamic answers, i see ‘advancement’; an internet now made up of 'blogs, ulogs and vlogs', whereupon 'content can be queen' too.
While everyone should have a blog or vlog, not everyone does. By means of ulogging, every(any)one can now participate in the art of content-creation.
But how about 'content-curation and content-promotion'? Aren't these tangible human activities too? Do these activities have 'barriers to entry' today?
Then came 'blockchain technology'; an accessible public ledger with a reward-distribution mechanism and it began to reveal the value of 'content-curation and content-promotion', not only as 'tangible human activities' but also 'in the evolution of the internet' (information). Prior to its advent, much of the 'value' related to 'content' have been given to 'content-creation'.
Today's internet (based on 'blogs and vlogs') has been modeled to celebrates 'content-creators'; 'the perfect content-creator'.
Relegating the value of 'content-curation and content-promotion' in the evolution of 'content', blogs and vlogs have maintained a certain 'complex' nature; neither curate-able or promote-able by everyone.
For instance, not everyone can curate or promote a blog or vlog about 'cryptocurrency'. For many, 'cryptocurrency' is a complex topic; difficult to consume, let alone curate or promote.
On the other hand, a cryptocurrency-related 'ulog' (i.e a cryptoulog) is curate-able and promote-able by everyone. Possessing of a 'U' (You) element, a ulog is relatable to any human, regardless of its topic or niche.
In eventuality, people curate and promote 'content' that has been deemed 'popular' by 'millions' (people) as opposed to 'billions' and even algorithmically, we are left with an internet that is static, an internet filled with fewer humans; a complex ecosphere, whereupon humans can't relate and bots suddenly have more say.
It is not a coincidence either, that we have an internet, that constantly relegates 'humans' to the position of 'clients'; where 'blogs and vlogs' (information) constitute 'valuable product'. Alas, "an internet, where 'bots, rich cats, virtual babies, pokemon' dominate".
In turn, some can't find their place on today's internet, leaving it altogether or looking for outlets besides it.
Blockchain helped matters!
While blockchain technology can play a giant role in creating a dynamic internet, it is beginning to lose its potency in this regard.
Have we really managed to create a ‘new internet’ since the advent of blockchain, one without the ‘barriers-to-entry’ of our current internet?
One can quickly say “internet 3.0”, which is a great start but isn't ‘internet 3.0’ underlyingly static; curbed by the same underlying ‘barriers’ inherent to conventional internet. Isn't 'internet 3.0' based on 'blogs and vlogs', the basis for conventional internet?
Over the course of time, even in the presence of blockchain/cryptocurrency, we begin to return towards paradigms that the mainstream internet has deemed popular.
Yes, while we can now have an internet that is un-censorable by virtue of 'blockchain technology', we have maintained the content-base of the mainstream internet; that made up of ‘blogs and vlogs’, forms of content that is quite 'static'.
Our internet seems to recycle information, constantly referencing information that has grown popular over time.
In general, i have interacted with the internet in a bid to identify what truly exists of it e.g the barriers, the illusionary barriers, its depth etc. I did this to eventually affect the advancement of the internet, using some of my innovations. Amidst a large span of barriers that have limited my interaction with the internet over the years, one being 'my IP-location', i began to develop unconventional ways of interacting with the internet, in a bid to remove these barriers for me and others. Ulogging my way through, without even knowing the term 'blockchain', i found blockchain!
The first such blockchain that i had found was on 'steemit.com', a content-based social media platform.
Upon the Steem blockchain, my quest for a 'new internet' continued. According to me, 'a public-ledger, possessing of a reward-distribution mechanism, that rendezvous humans and incites them to evolve constitutes 'powerful things' than 'a revolutionary tech' or 'a comfort tool'.
Like i did with my internet-interactions, i began to interact with 'blockchain' in unconventional ways, using it too as 'CCTV into the true state of the world'.
Valuing the 'incessant evolution of humans' as documented on this bare, immutable 'blockchain', I began to see even spiritual revelations. By virtue of how i interacted with 'blockchain', blockchain was no longer 'just another tech'. More testimonial and un-ordinary it can become, if applied as a tool towards 'returning value to humans'.
I set into motion!
First, 'content' and its related activities, which is at the core of 'blockchain', must leave the ranks of 'ordinary' and be celebrated (rewarded), where 'content' is 'human data'.
That said, 'content' (mine and others') was 'un-ordinary' and i treated it as such.
Note that the Steem blockchain, rewards 'content' using a reward-distribution mechanism called 'proof of brain', where 'upvotes' (i.e 'likes') rewards 'quality content' and 'downvotes' (i.e 'dislikes') removes 'rewards' from 'content' deemed to be of 'low quality'.
While others may have assessed my content as 'ordinary' and measured its quality in terms of 'financial rewards', i measured my content in terms of 'real human growth' and applied my 'content-creation' to that effect.
'Content-creation' constituted a spiritual venture to me; 'me attempting to marvel myself, exerting my human virtues, exerting my human senses, tapping into my deep aspects, tapping into my shine etc', all in a bid to incite evolution in others, appealing to their soft-spot, attracting even their spirit.
Long before conceptualizing 'ulogs', i was ulogging. This affected how i interacted with content created by others and eventually, how i curated 'content' as i will highlight later.
You can't put a monetary-price on a 'ulog'! It is quite un-ordinary; it is quite human! A ulog is priced in terms of 'mining the human'.
As a result, you can't celebrate/reward a ulog sufficiently/efficiently, using a 'proof of brain' reward mechanism, for a ulog is designed to prove other aspects of human, besides 'just brain'. Besides, if you measure its value using the same fanciful perhaps superficial standards for 'blogs and vlogs', you may consider 'ulogs' as being of low quality.
Now, Steem's 'proof of brain' model is fit for 'blogs and vlogs' but not everyone could blog or vlog and this became more evident, as i undertook the art of curation.
If you look at some statistics here, you will notice that in the art of curation, i was able to reach thousands of people with 'upvotes' over the course of several years. However, 'curation' for me, wasn't simply a means to 'like' content, predict its quality or improve its visibility. It was a more powerful art!
Even as i participated in manual-curation, i began to evolve an unconventional style to curation called 'proof of tears'.
Considering 'human' content as 'un-ordinary'; interested more in 'the 'u' (i.e 'you') behind content', i looked for things beyond 'quality'. I would seek out, celebrate and reward, other facets of 'content', than just its 'proof of brain'.
Yes, before the advent and establishment of 'proof of tears' as a reward-distribution model, that which now powers all my projects, i had began to implement this model within my simple art of curation, allowing me to reward 'content' (that another may have deemed 'low quality') for human virtues like 'effort, passion, self-sacrifice, mentality etc'.
To me, 'humans are un-ordinary'. As a result, 'content', that created by humans, is 'un-ordinary'.
Based on my experience with curation, it became obvious that 'content-promotion' was an important aspect of content-evolution too. Besides, it was a tangible human activity!
In my conscious effort to 'mine my human' using the art of curation, i would go a step further into promoting these content that i have curated.
In my case, i could promote content, however 'complex' because i was looking past 'quality'. On this note, i could consume content, regardless of its niche or complexity, enabling me to promote it. This isn't the case for many others!
It became established that even with the luxury of 'blockchain', not everyone experienced the luxury of participating in 'content-creation, content-curation and content-promotion'. These are tangible 'human activities' that everyone should be capable of participating in, for 'knowledge' to be made whole.'Ulogs' started to formulate!
Too, tangible human activities like 'content-creation, content-curation, content-promotion', can constitute avenues for humans to consciously 'mine their human' ; ulogging!
While, 'proof of brain' (fit for blogging & vlogging) forms the basis for 'Steem's reward-distribution mechanism', it was obvious that even subconsciously, people who participated where 'mining their human', exerting other human virtues besides 'the brain'. These blockchain users where gradually becoming 'reputable great minds' too. To celebrate these tangible facets of 'content' consciously, the 'proof of tears' reward-model started to formulate, seeking to reward activities that 'mine the human'.
Many other things became clearer too as more history formed. To gain unadulterated feedback leading up to the establishment of '#ulog', I had started '#untalented', with an introductory contest called Who Are You and for among the first times in the history of the Steem blockchain, this contest received more than '1000 post-entries'.
Everyone could participate!
Without promise of 'financial rewards', people simply wanted to 'mine their human'.
'Less-complex and easy-to-consume', within a few days, i was able to curate these '1000 post-entries' too, reaching each of '1000 humans', with a timely heartfelt, even spiritual 'like' . The concept of 'ulogs' began to take form, with especial insight from above.
When 'ulogs' are involved, 'curation' had more 'directional' potency. Within that simple 'upvote' action, you can encode a directional message, caring about the 'u' (You) behind the content.
Caring to spark 'evolution' (i.e 'mining the human') among recipients of your upvote, you begin to care about how you deliver your vote, factoring other tangible elements into your 'vote' e.g 'timeliness', 'interaction' (i.e vote + comment), 'celebration' (vote + promotion) etc.
Note: By virtue of a 'proof of brain' reward-model (fit for 'blogs & vlogs'), one can further lock their 'human capabilities' into 'a boolean' (i.e 'vote/downvote'), in the art of 'curation', applying 'curation' as a 'comfort-tool' e.g 'find 'content', determine if it meets the 'proof of brain' criteria i.e 'quality' (e.g 'well-written blog or a glamorous-looking vlog), then upvote/downvote it'.
In the art of curating 'ulogs', the dynamics changes! A once 'ordinary' boolean/curation-action can become 'un-ordinary'. How so? The process of 'curation' using a 'proof of tears' reward-model (fit for 'blogs, ulogs & vlogs'); a boolean can't capture'. 'Proof of tears' factors into 'curation' many other facets of human, besides 'brain' (i.e 'quality/non-quality') e.g 'find 'content' > 'mine your human' in a bid to consume the content and assess its 'proof of tears' facets > if content-creator 'mined their human', (i.e 'proof of tears' ) celebrate them with a heartfelt, timely, even spiritual upvote (e.g vote + comment + promotion) > else, use a 'directional upvote' to incites them to ulog'.
As mentioned earlier, on the Steem blockchain, there is another 'vote' action; a 'downvote'! This is an important element of the 'proof of brain' reward-model. This was the conventional (popular) remedy for things like 'plagiarism, copyright infringement etc', even by 'blockchain' standards.
Even though i had this popular 'comfort' option on the Steem blockchain, 'an easy-to-use boolean-button', to counter 'plagiarism' for instance, i had decided to take the route of 'mining my human' as i formulated a solution; an approach that has led to the formulation of 'Ulogs'.
In eventuality, we have created a blockchain-born innovation called ‘Ulogs’, a content-form that can spearhead the basis for a 'new internet'. (Read more about my unconventional interaction with blockchain here!)
In the grand scheme of things, 'ulogging' is an entire paradigm, an entire culture, premised around 'mining the human'.
In the scheme of 'content-creation', in the art of ulogging, humans can tap into their 'shine' and emit the resulting light.
Then, we can reward the resulting 'breakthrough in human' with an eventual digital-currency called 'TEARDROPS', using a 'proof of tears' reward-distribution model.
Here is bonus verse drawn from the curriculum of 'legitimate illiteracy' created by @surpassinggoogle:
In general, systems of the world, have continued to capture 'human capabilities' into 'boolean' ('fit for bots'). In eventuality, 'bots can compete, humans can't'. It is scary where the world is headed! Let's return value towards humans!
What Are CryptoUlogs Then?
Cryptoulogs are cryptocurrency-related ulogs.
A cryptoulog is a form of content covering the topic or niche of 'cryptocurrency', that is created 'fresh' at every instance (i.e without resourcing from that internet), composed entirely of ‘excerpts of U’.
e.g when creating a ulog about 'cryptocurrency', each excerpt of your cryptoulog, whether 'meme, image, photograph, gif, text etc', should have been created 'fresh', by YOU, without resourcing from the internet, born solely out of events, experiences, feelings, sentiments, moments derived from a particular day or instance.
The art of creating 'ulogs' is called 'ulogging'. Underlyingly, the art of ulogging is based on 'mining the human'.
The word 'cryptoulog' can also be used in terms of 'a web-space made up of cryptoulogs'. Similar to how one would say, "i have a blog" or "i have a vlog"; one can say, "i have a ulog" or "i have a cryptoulog".
A cryptoulog possesses tenets that allows content-creators to 'consciously evolve their human', while reshaping the internet with ulogs about cryptocurrency.
The letter 'u' seen in the word 'cryptoulog', is synonymous to 'you'. A cryptoulog created today should not have existed anywhere on the internet yesterday.
'Cryptoulogs.com' is the home for cryptoulogs. It will constitute a blockchain-based social media platform, where users can rendezvous to create, curate and promote ulogs relating to cryptocurrency.
Cryptoulogs.com will focus on short-form content.
Where Are We Headed With CryptoUlogs?
'Cryptoulogs' is a side-project of the 'Teardrops ecosystem'.
Even so, it is a very important project in the life and success of our ecosystem. By it means, we can better formulate one grand ecosystem that focuses on 'returning value to humans'.
A successful 'cryptoulogs.com' project and we can begin to play a testimonial role in rewarding 'proof of tears'.
Via 'cryptoulogs.com', we can help the world know about 'Ulogs'.
Our eventual grand destination?
- Remove all barriers-to-entry from three important human activities; 'content-creation, content-curation and content-promotion'.
- Add a directional element to 'content-creation, content-curation, content-promotion, by creating a platform (i.e cryptoulogs.com) that incites humans to apply these 'content-related activities' towards 'mining their human'.
- Document the each resulting 'human shine'.
- Reward/celebrate the resulting 'human breakthrough' with a digital currency, using a 'proof of tears' reward-distribution model.
- Establish 'a proven blockchain-born innovation' (e.g 'cryptoulogs.com') that 'returns value to humans'.
- In eventuality, create a 'new internet', one based on 'ulogs'; one filled with humans, one filled with uloggers.
- Help uloggers globally build their noble dreams.
- Let the world know about 'Ulogs'.
- Redirect everyone to the Creator Jehovah.
Cryptoulogs will play a ginormous role in helping us reach our destination. Leading up to 'ulogs.org'; 'cryptoulogs.com' will help us create a clearer path.
Via 'cryptoulogs.com', we will be able to introduce and inculcate the art of ulogging into the world, by means of an entire curriculum.
In our approach to innovation and in general, we aren't 'disruptive'; we are 'beautiful disruptive'.
On it, we will identify and establish 'a grey-list of certified uloggers', who are 'true fans' of what we represent. These ones will in turn form the 'core' of each project emanating from the 'Teardrops ecosystem'.
Backed by 'humans' (uloggers), we can build an ecosystem, powered by a digital-currency; that succeeds whether 'bulls or bears' because 'humans' are involved.
Desiring to help uloggers build their noble dreams, the success of 'cryptoulogs.com' will also provide us 'an established grey-print' that everyone can replicate, in building their noble dreams. For instance, a 'certified ulogger' who wants to build his/her noble dream, may desire his own 'ulog-based enterprise'. Without seed-funding limitations, he/she can replicate 'cryptoulogs.com'.
Gradually, we can have an entire internet based on 'ulogs', whereupon 'humans' hold sway.
While 'cryptoulogs.com' will have its own digital-currency called 'ULOGS', our eventual primary digital-currency is called 'TEARDROPS'.
Recall that 'cryptoulogs.com is a side-project emanating from the Teardrops ecosystem?
That established, even though 'cryptoulogs.com' is a standalone project, with its own digital currency, it shares the same 'down-to-earth paradigms' as used by our primary projects such as 'ulogs.org, steemgigs.org and Macrohard'.
'Cryptoulogs.com' will focus primarily on the following:
- Create a platform that provides everyone with the capability of participating in the world of 'blockchain/cryptocurrency', via the art of ulogging. ("Let's reveal the unknown, beautiful, humanly aspects of crypto".)
- Use this platform to inculcate the 'art of ulogging' among users. (To effect this, 'cryptoulogs.com' will focus on short-form content, which is easier to manage.)
- Implement a native digital-currency called 'ULOGS' and explore various uses for our 'proof of tears' reward-distribution model, to help us better build 'TEARDROPS'.
- Create a tokenomy that focuses primarily on growing and empowering 'a grey-list of certified uloggers'. (i.e the scarce model is 'humans' as opposed to 'bulls or bears')
- Model the 'cryptoulogs.com' user-interface for the purpose of establishing and growing our 'grey-list of certified uloggers'. These ones will eventually form the base for every project emanating from the Teardrops ecosystem. ('Grey-list', is to indicate that while everyone can join this list; it is also a 'scarce' list.)
- Create a viable 'ulog-modeled application', which we will speed up the development of every other project/innovation emanating from the 'Teardrops ecosystem'; all of which will also make use of a 'ulog' content-base!
- Evolve a viable case-study (via 'cryptoulogs.com') to enhance our approach for building 'ulogs.org, steemgigs.org and Macrohard'.
- Generate revenue/funding to via 'cryptoulogs.com', to sustain internal-growth and contribute to the development other project, ours and those of our 'certified uloggers'.
- Evolve a well-formulated code-base that others, especially 'certified uloggers' can replicate.
Now, let's quickly discuss the 'Teardrops ecosystem', considering that 'Cryptoulogs.com' is a side-project emanating from the Teardrops ecosystem.
The Teardrops Ecosystem
While the Teardrops ecosystem has three primary down-to-earth projects, it will dynamically emanate down-to-earth innovations, geared towards ‘returning value to humans’. Altogether, the 'Teardrops ecosystem' will be powered by a digital currency called TEARDROPS.
Important Things To Note Regarding The Teardrops Ecosystem.
- We will not have a black or white paper. It will be a ColorlessPaper.
- Where we decide to make use of ‘an oracle’, it will be an 'un(dis)talented' oracle.
- Where we decide to make use of ‘lists’, we will have a grey/gray-list; not a black/white-list.
- We will not create disruption. We will create ‘beautiful disruption’.
- The grand mission? ‘Direct or re-direct each human to our Creator Jehovah’.
The Teardrops ecosystem will be composed primarily of 'three' blockchain-based social network platforms. All three of these platforms will have one digital-currency called 'TEARDROPS'.)
Here is a list:
- Ulogs.org — to propagate a form of content called 'Ulogs' into the world and emanate uloggers globally.
- SteemGigs.org — to create an ecosystem of freelancers & dream-builders, whereupon “everyone has something to offer”.
- Macrohard — to make everyone capable of participating in the world of programming, by creating a programming protocol in which everyone can suddenly code (with swag).
Each of the aforementioned enterprises has a ‘proof of tears’ reward-distribution model; a model that incites humans to ‘mine their human’, emanating more ‘human shine’ into the world.
By rewarding ‘human activities’ incited by these enterprises, we can celebrate the resulting ‘breakthrough in human’ with a ‘breakthrough digital currency’ called, 'TEARDROPS'.
The TEARDROPS digital-currency is an important part of our ecosystem. It is the currency that powers our economy. However, TEARDROPS isn’t just a digital-currency. It seeks to reward activities that ‘mine the human’. It will also reward past deeds. It is an ‘emblem of human’.
TEARDROPS will appeal to the soft-spot of every human, attaining global acceptance.
**footnote**
‘Mining the human’ is synonymous to ‘evolving the human’.
Ulogs.org
A blockchain-based social network platform created to propagate a form of content called ‘Ulogs’ into the world and emanate/rendezvous Uloggers globally. (See definition of Ulog here)
Development Status: Ulogs.org is reaching its ‘alpha-stage of development’. It has been functional/in-use for close to a year.
See related image:
**footnote**
A Ulog is a form of content spanning across any topic or niche, that is created ‘fresh’ at every instance (i.e without resourcing from that internet), composed entirely of ‘excerpts of U’.
A ulog possesses tenets that allows content creators/curators to consciously ‘evolve their human’.
The letter ‘u’ seen in the word ‘ulog’, is synonymous to ‘you’.
The concept of Ulogging was born to remove all 'barriers-to-entry' from human activities such as content-creation, content-curation, content-promotion.
With every(any)one capable of participating in these tangible human activities, we can incite each one to apply these activities also towards ‘consciously mining their human’.
Ulogs.org makes use of a ‘proof of tears’ reward-distribution model, rewarding ulogging activities with a digital currency called TEARDROPS.
‘Ulogs’ will form the content-base of all our enterprises.

SteemGigs.org
A blockchain-based social network platform that provides a 'dream-building' services marketplace, whereupon ‘everyone has something to offer’. It will allow and incentivize 'experts & non-experts' alike to offer gigs/services.
STEEMGIGS will look to celebrate dreamers and dream-builders with a digital currency called ‘TEARDROPS’.
Development Status: steemgigs.org has been functional/in-use for more than one year. It is still in its alpha-stage of development.
See image:
**footnote**
Allowing non-experts to participate in the ‘dream-building ecosystem’ removes barriers-to-entry from 'dream-building'; a testimonial human activity.
Talent is generic. There is a rarity in the ‘brother talent’ industry. steemgigs.org will focus on abating this rarity.
To further take cognizance of every(any)one, steemgigs.org will also offer these unique features:
- Allow users to exchange gig for gig.
- Collect and maintain a library of Ulogs, covering expert knowledge.
- Provide an open-access database of ‘brother talents’.
- Collect and maintain a resume-database made up of professionals/non-professionals.
- Innovate a search engine that is modeled to ‘mine humans’.
Further relegating the value of money in the art of dream-building, we can continuereturning value to human’.
Eliminating concepts like ‘average, bum, smart’ and suddenly ‘everyone has something to offer’.

MACROHARD
MACROHARD is an enterprise focused on enabling ‘every(any)one’ to participate in the world of programming. It intends to create a ‘programming protocol’ that every(any)one can code in.
It will eventually provide a blockchain-based social network platform modeled to emanate ‘brother programmers’ & a consultancy network focused on enabling ‘non-programmer project owners’ better build projects.
Being a product of the Teardrops ecosystem, MACROHARD will make use of the ‘proof of tears’ reward distribution model, powered by the TEARDROPS digital currency.
Development Status: Macrohard.pro hasn’t started building yet but its enterprise-model is complete. The intention is to start MACROHARD from a physical hub, located in the Philippines. (So far, we have rented the Macrohard hub but haven't fully set it up!)
**footnote**
While there are many programmers, there is a rarity in the ‘brother programmers’ industry. MACROHARD will focus on abating this rarity.
Read more about the MACROHARD enterprise.
The TEARDROPS Digital Currency
The TEARDROPS digital-currency will power each innovation stemming from the 'Teardrops ecosystem'. As a digital-currency, 'TEARDROPS' should succeed whether 'bulls or bears' because ‘humans are involved’.
**footnote**
“Fix the tears with the tears”. @surpassinggoogle
“En-route mining the human towards its awesomest version, there is bound to be many tears, whether happy, sad or un-fell.” @surpassinggoogle
“Dissociate tears from sadness, affiliate it with breakthrough, then we can reward each tear; where tears now constitutes a by-product of mining the human”. @surpassinggoogle
The Teardrops Ecosystem - 'Side-Projects'
Each innovation emanating from the Teardrops ecosystem, whether it is a primary-project or a side-project, share the same 'down-to-earth paradigms'.
'Cryptoulogs.com' is an important side-project emanating from the 'Teardrops ecosystem'. Leading up to one of our primary projects i.e 'ulogs.org', it is a very timely project. It start the motion of introducing the 'art of ulogging' into the world, starting with the niche of 'cryptocurrency'.
Now backed by 'Macrohard', a physical hub that we are setting up in the Philippines, we will become more effective with building 'cryptoulogs.com'.
'Macrohard' will gather a physical base of 'certified uloggers'. Among these ones, we will have 'brother-programmers, brother-enterpreneurs, brother-designers' etc. Together, we will build 'cryptoulogs.com' with greater impact.
The following paradigms applies also to 'cryptoulogs.com':
- Any 'digital-currency' we create (e.g ULOGS, TEARDROPS), will make use of a 'proof of tears' ('mining the human') reward-distribution model.
- All our platforms will be built around a 'grey-list of certified uloggers'.
- All our platforms will be 'social-based/content-based', with a content-base called 'ulogs'.
- Each list that we emanate is a 'grey-list'; neither black or white.
- Each paper is a 'colorlesspaper'.
- Instead of an airdrop, we will teardrop.
- Each algorithm we incorporate will apply a 'surpassinggoogle' paradigm, modeled to 'remove barriers-to-entry'.
- Any digital currency we create can reward 'past deeds'.
- In all our projects, we will make use of 'a variety of rewards'. ('Money' being secondary, our primary reward is 'real human growth'.)
- Where we make use of an oracle, it is an 'un(dis)talented' oracle.
- Where we seek 'talent', it will be 'un(dis)talent' ('brother talent').
- etc.
Another side-project that we will continue to work on as 'cryptoulogs.com' becomes more established is:
- Marlians.com - a traditional blockchain-based social media platform built on Steem that targets the masses, starting with Africa, in a bid to introduce the globe to our primary-projects ‘i.e ulogs.org, steemgigs.org and macrohard.pro’.
Marlians.com has up to 2,000 user-profiles)
CryptoUlogs.com
'Cryptoulogs.com' will constitute a social-media platform for 'cryptourrency-related ulogs'. It will build on the 'Hive blockchain' and focus on short-form content.
On 'cryptoulogs.com', users will be able to create, curate, consume and promote 'short-form ulogs' related to 'cryptocurrency'. Participants in its ecosystem, will be rewarded with a digital-currency called 'ULOGS', using a 'proof of tears' reward-distribution model. Users will also be able to earn rewards by 'staking' or randomly.
Besides, 'content-related' features, 'cryptoulogs.com' will also offer social-features, like DMs, d-commerce, native ads etc. It will also have a DEFI layer.
Having established that our content-base is one of 'ulogs', the very outlook of our user-interface will be modeled as such. Focusing on 'short-form content' will help us better maintain our 'content' according to a 'ulog-standard'.
We will have a 'grey-list of certified uloggers', empowered with exclusive UI-perks and tools who will take up the role of introducing and inculcating the 'art of ulogging' among our users. This is to reiterate that, a major focus of 'cryptoulogs.com' will be to 'grow our grey-list of certified uloggers'.
Those who are 'certified uloggers', will form the core of 'cryptoulogs.com' and every eventual project emanating from the 'Teardrops ecosystem', empowered with the tools and influence to shine.
Yes, our 'scarce model' is our 'grey-list of certified uloggers'. It is built on the basis of 'humans' rather than 'bulls or bears'. For instance, where we eventually have billions of users, our sole focus even in terms of autonomous growth is to maintain a grey-list of say '100,000 certified uloggers'.
Now, speaking of 'ulogging', everyone can participate! On 'cryptoulogs.com', you are allowed to ulog about cryptocurrency in a way that allows you to 'mine your human' (i.e 'evolve'), without the reservations that you may have, assuming you were blogging or vlogging about cryptocurrency.
Within your 'cryptoulogs', you can create an imaginary blockchain, relate your recent hassle with an exchange, talk about your holochain shower-thoughts, pose a weird crypto-related question, document your crypto-related drafts, create a caricature bitcoin-logo or sing off-key about uniswap in a video that isn't insta-worthy. You can even publish your unfinished crypto-art or show us your failed attempt at drawing Litecoin's logo. We will value your ulogs and celebrate the 'evolving version of u' contained in it as we seek to reward your ulogging.
Then, if we don't reward your ulogging today, we can reward it tomorrow. The 'ULOG' currency will also look to reward 'past deeds'!
Yes, your 'cryptoulogs' aren't measured in terms of 'proof of brain'. It is measured in terms of 'proof of tears'. Unlike a 'blog or vlog', a 'ulog' is priced in terms of 'real human growth', money being secondary.
You now have a home for your cryptocurrency-related ulogs on 'cryptoulogs.com'.
Being 'cryptoulogs', each aspect of your content, whether 'video, picture, meme, GIF, text' has to be created 'fresh', drawn solely from events, experiences, sentiments, ideas in a particular day or instance.
Note that a ulog can contain any form of media.
So, let us assume that your cryptoulog contains a 'Bitcoin' meme. The image behind the meme had to be created 'fresh' by you, instead of 'resourced from the internet'. The text-inscription on the meme should be yours as well! If your cryptoulog was to contain an 'Ethereum' logo, you will need to create the logo 'fresh' for your ulog, whether it is a photoshop-masterpiece or a caricature logo made with the 'paint' application. If you would like your cryptoulog to contain only 'text', let the your sentiments and thoughts be created 'fresh'.
Basically, every aspect of your cryptoulog should be made up of 'fresh excerpts of you'. It also means, that 'your ulog about 'bitcoin' created today', will be different from 'your ulog about 'bitcoin' created tomorrow' because 'each day and 'you' in it, carries its own freshness'.
In effect, a cryptoulog created created now, shouldn't have existed anywhere online prior. Evidently, a cryptoulog can't be an object of plagiarism and can't infringe on copyright.
Now, that everyone can participate in the 'art of content-creation' in relation to 'cryptocurrency, by ulogging, how about 'content-curation' and 'content-promotion'? Well, everyone can curate and promote 'cryptoulogs' too!
Carrying a 'u' (or 'human') element, cryptoulogs remove the 'complexity' from the niche of 'cryptocurrency', making it a subject relatable to every human, whether they are crypto-saavy or not.
Did you know that the first publication that i had found organically via the search engines, intimating me of the existence of 'blockchain technology' was a well-written cryptocurrency-related steemit-based 'blog'? Did you also know that i didn't sign up to the 'steemit platform' courtesy of that particular blog, then signed-up months later after finding a more relatable cryptocurrency-related steemit-based publication? The former was 'too complex' to consume and un-relatable to me, who wasn't 'crypto-savvy'. The latter was 'complex' too but i could relate to the 'human-side' of the content.
To curate or promote 'content', you are likely to have consumed it. 'Cryptocurrency' today, is a complex niche. It is not participate-able in by everyone.
We have created a more simplified, human, relatable version of it, in the form of 'cryptoulogs'.
Cryptoulogs are consumable by everyone, thus, are curate-able and promote-able by everyone.
Now that we have established that 'via the art of ulogging', everyone can participate in the world of 'cryptocurrency', in all capacities, regardless of whether they are crypto-savvy or not, why not join us on 'cryptoulogs.com' today; let's ulog about cryptocurrency.
Built on the Hive blockchain, 'cryptoulogs.com' will have an inherent 'reward pool' that rewards the native coin of the Hive blockchain called 'HIVE'. Nevertheless, we will have a primary 'reward pool' that distributes the 'Hive-based token' called 'ULOGS', our very own token.
Starting out as a simplistic platform that focuses on short-form ulogs, we will be able to introduce the art of ulogging gradually into the world, beginning with the 'crypto-world', in such a way that invites everyone into the 'world of crypto'.
Provisional - Here Are Some Of Our Platform Basics:
- A social media platform for 'short-form content'. People can post 'long-form' content by spending some 'ULOGS' tokens.
- 'Images, memes, GIFs etc' across 'cryptoulogs.com' need to be created by our users 'fresh', non-existent on the internet prior. Caricature-entries are welcomed. 'Images, memes, GIFs etc' seemingly resourced from the internet can be hidden from the user-interface but stays on the blockchain.
- To maintain a 'ulogging-standard', our platform will be built around 'a grey-list of certified uloggers'. Certified uloggers will be empowered with tools, UI-perks, extra influence etc, enabling them introduce and inculcate the art of ulogging across 'cryptoulogs.com'. Anyone can become 'certified'.
- On cryptoulogs.com, you can be a private or public figure. (Regardless, private figures will maintain their potential for garnering internet opportunities because their ulogs will reflect that 'you' element.)
- Posts are published to the Hive blockchain. Users can earn HIVE and our Hive-based token called 'ULOGS'.
- People can earn for 'staking, curation, content-creation, content-promotion, for exercising human virtues, for past deeds and even randomly'.
- Users will have to claim their staking-rewards, via a simple 'ulogging' ('mining the human') action. Unclaimed rewards, will be distributed randomly among active 'certified uloggers' or returned to the pool.
- Tokenomics-wise, we will like a 'small supply' and 'a low inflation-rate', targeted primarily at growing and celebrating our 'grey-list of certified uloggers'. (Assuming the quota of our 'grey-list' is '100,000 certified uloggers', we could start with a supply of '100,000 ULOG' i.e 'at least 1 ULOG per certified ulogger'. In effect, we can have an inflation-rate of 100,000 ULOG a year.)
- Our coin will have many utilities and underlying 'DEFI' attributes.
- We will explore other forms of 'rewards' besides 'money' e.g clout, UI-visibility, gig-donation, consultancy, project visibility etc.
- Certain tier of stakeholders will be 'certified uloggers' by default. However, anyone can become 'certified uloggers' irrespective of their stake-size.
- The user-interface should highlight 'certified uloggers' and modeled to invite users to get 'certified'.
- 'Certified' users get exclusive UI-perks and discounts compared to others.
- Projects can pay in 'ULOGS', to create their ulog-communities.
- The 'ULOGS' token will have cross-platform utilities e.g for DMs, peer-to-peer ads, subscriptions, marketplace etc.
- The user-interace should be modeled such that we can reach every 'certified ulogger' at least, with important updates. We can have 'chat-support, DM-features, special feeds, live feeds etc' accessible especially to 'certified uloggers'.
- We could develop our own unique 'ulog-based tagging system' e.g we can append 'ulog-' to every tag used on our user-interface. In effect, we have like '#ulog-rekt, #ulog-lambo, #ulog-btc etc'.
- Our user-interface will dynamically introduce 'ulog-related' initiatives, contests and trends to create buzz and build a solid community.
- We will not have 'airdrops', instead we will have 'teardrops', meaning that there will be a 'mining the human' element in how we dispense the ULOGS token via drops.
- We will have a DEFI layer that finances projects, especially for established 'certified uloggers'.
- We will be backed by a physical venture, courtesy of 'physical hubs' called 'Macrohard' that gathers 'brother-programmers, brother-enterpreneurs etc' across the globe. Our first 'Macrohard' hub is located in the Philippines!
- Holders or stakers of 'ULOGS', will have starting stake in 'TEARDROPS'.
- We will apply a ulogging-style referral system.
- We will grow a successful YouTube channel on 'UloggersTV', that will feature 'certified uloggers, help them build their own YouTube presence and grow ulogs globally.
- We will develop a DAO that empowers established 'certified uloggers' in building their projects, even in absence of seed-funding.
- 'cryptoulogs.com' will be developed with others in mind. We will create a grey-print 'code-base' that 'certified uloggers' can replicate to build their own 'ulog-based platforms'.
- Provide 'DEFI' tools that allows external trusted projects to distribute their tokens to our users in 'teardrops' fashion.
- Add 'd-commerce' features to incite, reward and celebrate 'certified uloggers' creations.
- Model the user-interface to generate 'revenue', sufficient also for developing 'steemgigs.org, marlians.com, ulogs.org'.
- There may be communities accessible primarily to 'certified uloggers' or on a 'pay-to-join' basis for others. On these exclusive communities, we can offer perks like 'teardrops, faucets, clout etc'.
- Users will carry labels of 'uloggers' or 'certified uloggers', to give 'cryptoulogs.com' that 'ulogs-outlook' and help users find help or answers from 'certified uloggers' instantly.
- etc.
Your boy Terry, whether bulls or bears.
