Two years ago: we presented SteemPress at the London Crypto currency show - some memories and ideas for Hive

in #hive4 years ago (edited)

One thing that I still like about Facebook is its occasional reminders, or "memories" as it calls it, of events that happened on this day X number of year(s) ago.

Today was another such day, as I was reminded of it being 2 years since howo and I presented @steempress at the London Crypto currency show together with Appics, promo-steem, utopian and a few other dApps.

It's quite funny now to look back at that time, which was very different. STEEM was around 3$, many new apps were joining the ecosystem, and people were still learning about blockchains and crypto currency.

I think the standout-memory was the badass promo steem stand that we had. I really hope we can get designers together to produce an "event kit", with stuff we can have to promote Hive, as that was really well done.

Having a community film-maker in @ashtv to both record the presentations, as well as us giving pitches of our projects afterwards in front of the banner was even more dope.

In any case, I thought it was both a cool memory to share, as well as a source of inspiration for what we could build for Hive. I'll probably do a more in depth post later, but what I would really like to see us have is something like this:

  • A dedicated proposal to search for and a list of potential events where Hive could have a presence, as well as contacting and arranging Hive participation.
  • Another proposal to fund up-to-date design elements and promotion material both to be used online and on local events.
  • A third proposal to fund ambassadors and promoters to take opportunities provided by the first to present and market Hive.

I hope we can get there with this amazing momentum we're having these days!

Astounding it’s been two years! 😮
Thanks for the tag and shout out.
It was a real whirl wind that day, so many brilliant and passionate people - Steem blew that event away.

I was introduced to @adetorrent, @redrica, @rod.crisafulli (rip ❤️) and @cryptocurator to name a few, as well as you and @howo. You guys along with @anarcotech and @starkerz all laid the foundation for my journey on these platforms. You are all very inspiring people.

I hope for another Hive promo opportunity - and I’ll be all over it with my video :)
Maybe one day we can meet up again and enjoy a beer 🍻

No problem buddy! I really appreciated the opportunity to have it filmed, and think we should have guys like you funded by the DHF to accompany Hive speakers and stands to make the most of events, as well as for our own things like "HiveFests".

I hope we won't have to wait too long for the next opportunity;)

We had such a great time ! It was my first time speaking in public about steempress. It was fun seeing how we got a super small booth and yet attracted so many steemians to the conference.

"Super small booth"? Your memory must be pretty shit 😛. It was above average in size

Naah, it was in a small corner all the way to the back, I remember how we were all on the way and squatting other people's booths because we couldn't fit there

Wrong. Most stands you will find at conferences are one third of the size we had.

at conferences, not this conference. Please don't force me to dig up videos from the event to prove my point

Please don't force me to dig up videos from the event to prove my point

You absolutely have to do that.

FFS. Not only did you make me go back, but your are also right, it is massive.

Take your upvote and go away

For me the updated design elements are must, I really struggled getting the Hive logo and everything when writing my article. You should really put out something like a press kit where people can download all the needed assets. 😄

The logo files are available, as Howo already shared.

I was thinking more about banners, backgrounds and illustrations for social media use and blogs, templates for content etc. As well as graphics for video content and materials for live events.

Should make it as easy as possible for anyone wanting to promote Hive to 1. Get their hands on resources to do so and 2. To have as good and professional looking material as possible.

Look forward to seeing your action plans coming to fruition and benefiting HIVE in all parts of the world.

Thanks! There sure as hell is a lot more to come! The chain always had tremendous unrealized potential, and we can finally make that happen for ourselves.

it's time for hivepress :P on another note, 2 years passed so quickly

We have a much cooler name and brand coming up;)

That looks like it was great fun! Amazing what can happen in two years really (or 5 days even)! Cool memory to share... Fb is good for at least that 1 thing... Kinda 😁

Solid. You've come a long ways since then. Good job all!

Thanks! I think we're still just getting started
