17 Mar Symbol blockchain news update – 17/03/22
Woohoo! Happy Birthday, Symbol! 🥳 🎉 I am still not 100% sure if it is today or was yesterday, I guess it will depend on your time zone. Anyway, congrats on reaching your first big milestone, I am sure that there will be many many more to come 😊 Congrats to the team who have built something special and grown a loyal and passionate community around it. As I always say, we are right at the beginning of this journey and we will continue to grow stronger – I am really excited to see what we will have achieved when we turn two 😁
Twitter is ablaze with stuff this morning…
…so I will be doing my research as I write and will try to keep you up to date!
Exciting news on the horizon?
I checked Discord this morning whilst I was half asleep and saw this message on The Deck which sounds particularly exciting. Apparently, a successful video games company are interested in integrating Symbol in one of their games. This could be really big news and has the potential to shine a light on Symbol – we already know that it’s great but we want the rest of the world to know this too! Their main user base is in the US and Korea so it would be awesome if this ends up happening.
This line made me very happy “They spent a lot of time watching our project and community and reached back out.” I think it demonstrates that we as a community have power and that our passion shines through. We are generally not a community of moon boys looking for the next pump waiting to dump our coins. We care about Symbol. we experiment and build stuff on Symbol, we write about Symbol, we have a lot of talented artists and most of all we show how passionate we are. The Japanese community have always led the way but I hope as we grow in the west the ethos and passion fostered in the east will be retained. Then we will be unstoppable.
Build your own NFT art gallery!
I spent a few minutes checking out some art in a Cluster gallery last week and was kind of blown away that this is even possible. Now it seems there are English instructions on how to set up your own gallery in the metaverse and it looks very straightforward! For those of you with a big NFT collection, why not showcase it!
The A-Team
I love @RookBl‘s work and this is no exception. It looks like Hatchet commissioned this artwork of the captains and I think that the sentiment is great – a strong team is essential and it looks like these three are BFFs 😁 Good work guys – if you look back at what you have achieved so far I think that you can be very proud.
Grab your anniversary token!
Make sure that you take this Symbol quiz and you can claim your limited edition anniversary token and show it off in 5 years to prove that you were there at the beginning of this voyage. I am not sure if you have to achieve a certain score as I got them all right 😛 but the questions are super easy if you have followed Symbol for a while. I have an unfair advantage as I write about Symbol every week – I would have been embarrassed if I got any wrong! 😂
Show some love
This is really sweet – @vqjakayulvfkzo2 set up this competition for the 1st anniversary and to win you have to quote retweet with a message of thanks to Hatchet including the hashtag which according to automatic translation means Symbol’s attraction or Symbol’s appeal.
We miss you on Twitter so hopefully, you will be back soon.
Safe hands
This is a picture I keep seeing and it is a picture that I love since it shows my son holding his @sakamotometal silver Symbol coin. He will also have a birthday soon (less than two weeks now) and will celebrate his second birthday. I may have to take a new picture, I guess his hands will be a lot bigger now 😁 He is also a proud Symbol holder – maybe I will add to his stash in addition to his regular birthday present, I am sure he will appreciate some XYM more than toys when he gets the keys to his wallet in 2038 😂
Sign securely online
So I don’t know a lot about this but have seen mention on Japanese Twitter for a while. It seems that SSS allows you to securely sign Symbol transactions online and has been released as a Google Chrome plugin.
Birthday commemorative NFT
Hope you have fully recovered from your illness Tresto. It looks like you were busy in your absence! It looks like there will be a 1st anniversary special commemorative NFT minted very soon and this really looks amazing – I am always astounded by the talent that’s out there in the community!
You can read more about this incredible project here – if like me you can’t read Japanese then Google Translate or DeepL will get you through it!
He has built an entire 3D model of XYM City 🤯 with different districts that you can zoom into and explore – this is fantastic and must have taken forever to do!
A special commemorative NFT will be created to celebrate the first anniversary and will be listed on COMSA on March 18th – keep your eyes peeled! 👀
Thanks!
OK, I will leave it there for today as I have to make a dent in my to-do list in the real world 😁 Thanks for reading, I know I will have missed a ton of stuff today but I will be back again soon with another update!
