More $$$ for crypto apps

Today’s Daily Digest was crafted by Product Hunt and sponsored by our friends at Blockstack.Not too long ago, we wrote about how Blockstack (the decentralized computing network and secure app ecosystem) filed with the SEC for a qualified token offering. Last week, that filing made history by becoming the first digital token offering qualified by the SEC.What does it mean?! For one, it means you (or anyone who is a qualified purchaser) can purchase Stacks tokens (STX) as part of the qualified sale under Regulation A+. It’s a big step for the future of crypto (and fundraising in general), proving there is a viable path for SEC-qualified token offerings in the US. Before the Reg A qualification, only accredited investors, like VC firms USV, YC, Winklevoss Capital, and Naval Ravikant, had the ability to purchase tokens legally in the U.S. Now it is open to everyone. More $$$ for decentralized apps Buoyed by the initial success of Blockstack’s App Mining program and the ongoing token offering, Blockstack plans to increase monthly App Mining payouts starting next month. By May 2020, they anticipate that up to $1M paid will be paid out (in Stacks tokens) monthly. For the record, this money goes directly to developers buildings apps on Blockstack. Apps! At Product Hunt, we’ve been an App Reviewer for Blockstack since the beginning of its App Mining program. We’ve had a front row seat to new secure, privacy-focused applications that put users in control of their own personal data.There’s now more than 170 of these decentralized applications aimed at protecting you from the ground up, including solutions for blogging, fundraising, and creative collaboration. A few of our recent favorites: 💸 BitPatron is a decentralized, censorship-free Patreon alternative🔑 Closet is a password and secrets manager for teams🤑 Lannister Capital is a simple wealth manager and financial planner 👀 Paid lets you sell anything and pocket everything with bitcoin🔮 Predicto lets you make predictions to earn money You can also check out all of the decentralized apps (there’s 170 of them!) with a Blockstack ID.Important legal disclaimer below.
