# Skate Hype, Skateboarders Social Network (DHF proposal post for phase 2)

# Project Summary
Skate Hype is a Skateboarders Social Network platform available as [Web](https://www.skatehype.com/), [Android app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skatehype) and [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id1600965598?platform=iphone) compatible with Chromecast and Airplay.

Our team is trying to move best skateboarders and filmers from Instagram to our Skate Hype platform offering:
- Rewards through our new custom [Hive Curation Trail](https://www.skatehype.com/hive/vote).
- Rewards through contests (Like [Cash For Tricks](https://www.skatehype.com/p/cash-for-tricks-the-single-trick-section-of-skate-hype/13210.htm), now out of funding)
- Rewards to filmers through [Extra filmer rewards](https://www.skatehype.com/p/how-crypto-rewards-to-filmers-works/13061.htm) system.
- No cookies, no data tracking.
- PAL/NSTC video suppport (widely used in skateboarding filming)


Skateboarders have a door to the Hive network through our platform that do Hive account creation, 5 HP delegation, auto set profile image and subscribe to the recently created [Skate Hype](https://peakd.com/c/hive-106687/created) community, all at once in a friendly integrated interface. This service is developed, widely tested and now is out of funding to pay for new Hive accounts.

# Hive accounts
@skatehype.com is the platform account with posting key in server wallet that has authority of all Hive users: Used for post, comment and upvote.
@hypeuser is the platform account with active key in server wallet: Used for user creation, hp delegation and [Extra filmer rewards](https://www.skatehype.com/p/how-crypto-rewards-to-filmers-works/13061.htm).
@miguelurbina is the person who owns both above mentioned accounts. Senior developer, platform founder and [skateboarder](https://www.skatehype.com/miguelurbina).

# Development
- **Phase 1**: Build custom [Hive Curation Trail](https://www.skatehype.com/hive/vote) for automatize rewards for best content. **Done!**
- **Phase 2**: Promote platform through skateboarding online contests and offering free Hive Account for best skateboarders and filmers.
- **Phase 3**: Build a *Hive for Ads interface* to transform Fiat into Hive, a brief should be like:
    - Platform offer advertisement for Hive (e.g. 5 seconds video ad at the end of any video)
    - Advertiser buy Hive with credit card using Hive Keychain and pay for ads
    - Platform stake Hive to increase vote power on his Hive Curation Trail.

# Benefits
If we achieve phase 3 we are creating a model that introduces Fiat into Hive network.
