    Introducing SteemData Notify

    July 05, 2017
    introducing-steemdata-notify

    ## Email and Telegram Notifications *SteemData Notify* is a free blockchain monitoring service, that sends you (the account owner) Email and Telegram notifications when Payments and critical Account Changes occur. ### Example use case Alice has $10,000 SBD in her savings wallet. Unfortunately, Alice trusted a 3rd party app with her Active key in the past, and this app got hacked recently. Alice is on her summer vacation, and doesn't monitor her Steemit web wallet on a daily basis. Meanwhile, the hacker triggers a 3 day process of withdrawing the $10,000 SBD from savings, with the intent of stealing it. Fortunately Alice uses *SteemData Notify*, sending her immediate notification, which alerts her to cancel the withdrawal, and change her keys, locking the hacker out. ## Dust payment based Authentication Every change of settings on your account in *SteemData Notify* is authenticated by a dust payment to @null, containing an unique hash as a memo. The memo hash is derived from a cryptographic signature of the serialized settings object. This ensures that the account owner has authorized a precise and verifiable change. Furthermore the integrity of settings in the *SteemData Notify* database can be verified at any time. Your private keys are never exposed to any 3rd party in this process. ![Screenshot from 2017-07-05 18-36-24.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTN6Fm68tynz7sqHDnjKFxMyTMBsCQSoBxaXWK38enXRY/Screenshot%20from%202017-07-05%2018-36-24.png) ## Try it: [notify.steemdata.com](https://notify.steemdata.com/) ------- *Please note that SteemData Notify is a free service, provided on an as-is basis, with no guarantees of uptime or correctness.

    Welcome to my daily analytical report about Steemit.

    All the information presented in this report are based on the data collected from the blockchain until 2017-07-04 midnight UTC time. The goal of this report is to provide you with a clear view on what is happening daily on Steemit. ### 1. New users https://arcange.eu/steem-images/2017-07-04-AccountsNew.png This chart shows the number of newly registered users on Steemit and how many of them became active. We see that a lot of accounts are registered, but never used. Warning: this graphic is kind of dynamic! A user can register one day and become a few days later. Therefore, the number of active users on a specific date may change from day to day. https://arcange.eu/steem-images/2017-07-04-Accounts.png In this graph, the orange line shows the total number of registered accounts. The green line shows how many of them have been active at least once (by active, I mean those who made at least one post, comment or upvote). They are included even if they become inactive later. ### 2.

    Why I Think Bitcoin is Still Undervalued

    July 05, 2017
    why-i-think-bitcoin-is-still-undervalued

    http://i.imgur.com/oT5nPHv.jpg ___

    Introduction

    ___

    In an interesting discussion with another user ( @pedrombraz ) I stated that I think Bitcoin at its current price of around 2.5K USD is undervalued.

    I thought this would be an interesting topic to discuss. **Before getting on to my personal thoughts on this, I have created a twitter poll to help gauge other people's opinions in addition to this post:**
    [![Screenshot 2017-07-05 16.33.03.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTsrnDgNmkShzW42J55kbdDsrBMfkaxYNuth7wNXTpbgk/Screenshot%202017-07-05%2016.33.03.png)](https://twitter.com/Soul_Eater_43/status/882611101938176000)
    https://twitter.com/Soul_Eater_43/status/882611101938176000 **Please click the link and vote - it is only for 24 hours.** _Right now it seems most people voting think that BTC is undervalued and should be worth more than $5K USD._ ___

    My Thoughts

    ___

    Here are my main thoughts on why I think the current price is low. Obviously these are subjective and you may disagree with them.

    1. Security:

    Despite it's problems bitcoin is the most secure blockchain. That makes it harder to attack and more trustworthy since it is almost impossible (or getting to be) to carry out attacks which falsify transactions, double spending etc.

    2. Real world effort:

    A considerable amount of real world money, energy and infrastructure goes into mining it. In a sense that creates a certain base level of value.
    ![ThinkstockPhotos-510795912 (1).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVobwBxChibuC17tbH2azpbLNfr5cH9etP8AY2w9JmcA1/ThinkstockPhotos-510795912%20(1).jpg)
    **Bitcoin is the primary gateway to other cryptocurrencies.**

    3. Branding:

    Bitcoin is arguably the only cryptocurrency "brand" that has recognition in the real world.

    4. Community:

    Bitcoin probably has the largest community backing - you would be hard pressed to find someone who is into cryptocurrencies who doesn't support it.

    5. Segwit 2X:

    It seems likely that Segwit 2X will now pass. This won't solve the scaling issues forever but will help.

    6. Gateway to the Crypto World:

    Bitcoin is the primary gateway to all other cryptocurrency tokens and investments - and it will likely stay that way for some time. If you have no other cryptocurrency and want to buy "Token X" you will in most cases need to buy Bitcoin first.

    7. Scarcity Without Some of the Disadvantages:

    Bitcoin is very scarce compared to most other cryptocurrencies and monetary systems. Yes you can divide it up into tiny units without problems but that does not take account of how people psychologically deal with numbers. Further even at it's slowest, bitcoin is infinitely easier and faster to transport than commodities like gold. You can also secure it and hide it more easily than physical money or gold - reducing (but not eliminating) the risk of being robbed. ___

    Conclusion

    ___
    ![ThinkstockPhotos-187725838.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZVsDRYEgniykyUr2LUGYTvX45EvgnJQMpCuf3QnXKLKt/ThinkstockPhotos-187725838.jpg)
    **IMO opinion the BTC value car has a long way to go!**

    It is very subjective as to whether you believe that the current valuation takes these factors into account or not (even assuming you do agree with them).

    Overall I think Bitcoin will be around for the foreseeable future. **From that perspective and with the limited total tokens (21m) simple demand will mean that valuations in the millions of dollars per token are feasible eventually.** That is pure speculation on my part but I believe that it is within the bounds of possibility and given that it is so, it should have an impact on the current price too. **Feel free to share your own thoughts below.** ___

    SHOCKING! Girl Pees On US Flag on Holy July 4th!

    July 05, 2017
    shocking-girl-pees-on-us-flag-on-holy-july-4th

    http://i.imgur.com/r3yHAnJ.jpg
    Yesterday I wrote, "Happy In Dependence Day: A Day To Celebrate Living in a Brainwashed Slave Cult." In it I discussed how most Americans are brainwashed slaves in a cult that worships false idols such as the flag. As I was doing that, Emily Lance was peeing on the flag on Facebook. And it got more than 1 million views and came with dozens, if not hundreds, of death threats. There is even a bounty on her head on Craigslist for $3,000 and her father, who is a statist, has been targeted at his workplace. If this doesn't prove my point that Americans are brainwashed slaves in a cult nothing does. If someone peeing on any piece of cloth makes you erupt in violent anger that is because you've been brainwashed. In this video I discuss what happened and how to deal with living amongst brainwashed slaves.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQ56a10uWt0
    I mention in the video that no matter what was printed on a piece of cloth, if someone peed on it, it would not upset me. If seeing this video of a girl peeing on a piece of cloth with colors on it made in China upsets you, you may be brainwashed. Seek help immediately.

    This is Satoshi.Fund and it's awesome.

    The plan was to just see what they offer, out of curiosity. [![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRpxvjWTzxjjuohHh5q8pwxGVR8KXLaASFPGfxaBtghk9/2017-07-05%2016_02_09-Satoshi%E2%80%A2Fund.png)](http://smarturl.it/spies?IQid=steemit.com) But then I learned that they offer the open end managed crypto fund **ON BITSHARES** # Sign-Up Registration is as consumer friendly as it can be in current BitShares Wallet. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQENBMeR3uRBddwNCB6TpXkspC72mFM7jDiBAnuzWzEhL/2017-07-05%2016_05_29-Satoshi%20Pie.png) * **[Click Here](http://smarturl.it/spies?IQid=steemit.com)** to Sign-Up (`Invest Now`) * Enter E-Mail, user name and Password * Backup Brain Key (important) # Investing ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaY7S4SYshiecbzrm4cSsuQYLRnsSJhR8kyXeWUmbFUHc/2017_07_05_16_09_47_Satoshi_Pie.png) The GUI is so simple and amazingly end user friendly. You literally just need to send Bitcoin, and 24 hours later you will receive SPIES Shares based on Coinmarketcap NAV ([Net Asset Value](http://www.investopedia.com/terms/n/nav.asp)) # Dashboard It's clean, and shows every data possible. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdngFBF5PJwVqAT8FZScrVF1j2K3gnSBgWm7peJFW57Qy/2017-07-05%2016_10_58-Satoshi%20Pie.png) # Exit ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeGD41h88yZ7zKy4K5Xd8qQAdduLfBPW2JUsikx8HyUt1/2017-07-05%2016_11_59-Satoshi%20Pie.png) Just select `Redeem` and enter your Bitcoin address, you'll receive Bitcoin based on NAV (same as Investing). You're free to move SPIES to your regular BitShares account, and you can trade them on their DEX Market, obviously. # Fees ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmd8QcW7TJtehvq76vDrUcdA5wKMqyXH4rCAMwxJZaQxgv/2017-07-05%2016_13_48-Satoshi%20Pie.png) The slice of the pie comes at a price. Entrance Fee: 5% Exit Fee: 5% so investing goal should be long term. This may sound expensive, but it's still much cheaper than conventional Managed Funds *or Prism*. # Conclusion This is the prime example for a specific and tailored product on BitShares DEX. It's very consumer friendly, and requires very limited knowledge of BitShares. New users won't even notice the Blockchain! ---------- [![](http://i.imgur.com/1mUxxrl.png)](https://rebrand.ly/steem) [Buy and Sell Steem & Steem Dollar at **best rates!**](https://rebrand.ly/steem) Blog: [FAVS dot PW](http://favs.pw) Contact: [btsfav @ twitter](https://twitter.com/btsfav) Steem: [ash @ steem](https://steemit.com/@ash?r=ash) ─ [Steemit How-To's](http://smarturl.it/howtosteem)

    Quick SteemFest² Update: Visiting Lisbon & Sponsorships

    July 05, 2017
    quick-steemfest-update-visiting-lisbon-and-sponsorships

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz2xRdAoTP8 I know I promised that my next post about SteemFest² would be the first names announcement and ticket launch. Promises are to keep, but I am breaking them, just to break the silence. Unfortunately last week one of my best friends mom passed away and a couple of days thereafter also my grandmom. Very unfortunate events, especially my friend's mom (too young) which naturally shifts priorities for the last & coming couple of days. However, my family was actually very kind and considered my already planned trip in regards to planning the cremation ceremony of my grandmom, thus as I am writing this I am sitting in a plane from Amsterdam to Lisbon. The coming days (until friday) I am in the city to meet about 15 (potential) locations and suppliers for the SteemFest² program. Not long after I return I will be able to finalise all locations and have a budget overview so I know what the minimum ticketprice will be for the event and can launch the site & ticketsale. In the meantime @cass (yeah!) has already offered to make a new look & feel to align SteemFest² with Lisbon's characteristics. Rest assured that I will do my utmost best to make the event (again) as inclusive as possible, by having a not-for-profit ticketprice. This is mainly possible thanks to sponsorships of (for now) mostly fellow Steemians and Steemit.inc!

    State of the Sponsorships

    Last year I only started sponsorship requests after most of the program was booked & reserved. This year however I felt with the _"June Bull Boom of the Cryptos"_ that it would be smart to reach out for support during that period as it would be easier for people and also relatively 'cheap' to support with some Steem. Sofar, the following people have supported the @SteemFest account and make your ticketprice of SteemFest² (way!) lower than the costprice per person: - @abit - @arhag - @blocktrades - @pharesim - @riverhead - @smooth - @wackou Thank you very much guys! Any additional sponsorship is very welcome, just donate to @SteemFest account for bigger personal donations and/or you can also support the @t-r-f account which is the Travel Reimbursement Fund, a generic fund which will pay out to SteemFest² attendees who apply (in Lisbon) for a travel support payout. FYI, Still want to sponsor some, but not in the big league? No problems... Wait for the ticketshop to open! Just like last year the ticket pricing will come in several 'support levels', so if Steem was good for you the past year, you are free to buy a more 'expensive' support ticket (which will still be lower than the costprice) which helps making the event great again!

    Great community initiatives on the way!

    - @jesta fwd'd comment_rewards from his wonderful @chainbb project to @steemfest - @joseph gave away 2 (!) all expenses paid trips to Lisbon! - @theprophet0 is gave away an airplane ticket as well! - @richardcrill's SteemFest Dreams initiative is going strong with a winner elected - Many people supported the @t-r-f Travel Reimbursement Fund so far: @knozaki2015 @ausbitbank @firepower @mariandavp @lichtblick @skapaneas @hitmeasap @kevinwong @ericvancewalton @walterj @edb @blueorgy @benjojo. If you want to know more about how the Travel Reimbursement Fund will work, and how payouts will be calculated, check the blogposts on @t-r-f account. @kyriacos is going bezerks with all these fancy designs as well :) For now, I'm signing off, and going to the taxi to my first meeting with the bus/coach/shuttle company and then I'm heading to HF Fenix Music as it has the swimmingpool on the roof and continue to meetings throughout the coming days. By the way.... did you already book a hotelroom in the official SteemFest² HF Hotels? If not check out the special package prices on the dedicated SteemFest² hotel booking site: steemfest.hfhotels.com I am (errr.... was) looking forward to that first Creamy & Delicious Pastel de Nata with my coffee! :P
    And yes: all liquid rewards of this post go straight to @steemfest to support the event. Stay updated through https://steemfest.com newsletter (2017 site up asap) and be sure to follow @steemfest

    Email Marketing VS Social Media Marketing

    July 05, 2017
    email-marketing-vs-social-media-marketing

    If we talk about conversions (that is converting your fans into customers), then email marketing always has a higher conversion rate than social media. It is because, in an email, you do not have any distractions like you have in social media. The only thing that your follower see on his screen is your message. That is why I always recommend my clients to start with email marketing before they think of social media marketing. Not only for selling, even if you are using email marketing to keep your readers updated about new articles on your blog or website. Chances are more that they will click on the link that they receive in their email rather than clicking on the link that they see in their Facebook news feed.

    https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/69/Udaipur_City_Palace.jpg/1280px-Udaipur_City_Palace.jpg City Palace, Udaipur, is a palace complex situated in the city of Udaipur, Rajasthan. It was built over a period of nearly 400 years, with contributions from several rulers of the Mewar dynasty. Construction began in 1553, started by Maharana Udai Singh II of the Sisodia Rajput family as he shifted his capital from the erstwhile Chittor to the new found city of Udaipur.The palace is located on the east bank of Lake Pichola and has several palaces built within its complex. The City Palace in Udaipur was built in a flamboyant style and is considered the largest of its type in the state of Rajasthan. It was built atop a hill, in a fusion of the Rajasthani and Mughal architectural styles, providing a panoramic view of the city and its surroundings. Overlooking Lake Pichola, several historic monuments like the Lake Palace, Jag Mandir, Jagdish Temple, Monsoon Palace, and Neemach Mata temple, are all in the vicinity of the palace complex. Nestled within the Aravali mountain range, these landmarks are associated in popular culture with the filming of the 1983 James Bond movie Octopussy.
