PeakD
Decentralized Social Media with True Ownership
What is PeakD?
PeakD is a decentralized platform designed for content creators to have an immersive blockchain experience while retaining control over their content.
True Ownership
Decentralization together with a new concept of “cryptographic keys” allows users to have real true ownership. True ownership is something no other social media is willing to give users because they need you dependent on their site.
Content
Your posts and comments exist independent of PeakD or any website and only the owner of the “keys” (you) has the ability to make any change or addition.
Communities
Users can create and actually own a community (or choose to make it community operated). PeakD then becomes a partner to help your community.
Connections
Your connections with other users are independent of PeakD. Deplatforming is a fear that only exists in systems that don’t have true ownership and decentralization.
Decentralization
Welcome to a new kind of platform where authority and power are spread across the community. This isn’t yet another "verbal pinky-promise" with users, the foundations are completely different from any other content or social media site.
Data Storage
Your transactions, including the text you write, are stored on a decentralized, un-owned, community operated blockchain.
User Choice
Having multiple frontends like PeakD provide users decentralized freedom, because they have options.
Synergy
When diverse developers, server operators and projects all work together to improve a system there is decentralization of power and dependencies.
A Partner For Your Journey
Having a whole new foundation for content creation and social media means you need a partner that can help you ease into this new world. This starts with recognizing we are not in control of you or your content (because you own it) and it means we listen to what the other half of our partnership wants.
Easy To Use
PeakD provides tons of powerful and unique features while at the same time aims to be intuitive for new users.
Managing Roles
There are many people/developers/servers involved in this unowned-decentralized project. PeakD is here to make it all disappear under the hood.
Dedicated Team
We are a small team that works with many other teams and we have spent years listening intently to our users.

Who is in charge of the HIVE Blockchain?
No one owns the HIVE Blockchain. It is “decentralized” No company or person can make unilateral decisions what happens with the blockchain or the currency
What currency does HIVE use? And what should I know about them?
HIVE uses 2 cryptographic currencies: HIVE and HBD
Typically they are referred to as “TOKENS”.
The “reward system” (detailed below) distributes new tokens each day.
Each user has a wallet where those tokens exist… all wallets are openly viewable to all.
These tokens can be bought and sold on 3rd party websites called exchanges. (binance, bittrex, blocktrades etc)
Because you can exchange for currencies like the US dollar they have a USD value. That value fluctuates (more info below)

Can I publish private content on HIVE?
Presently: No.
Encryption may be possible but no interface for HIVE has created that system?
Therefore consider all content PUBLIC for now.
You can send and receive private memos in the wallet using a tool like Keychain.

How do I get more people to view my content?
The key is to recognise that it won’t just be given to you. Behave like you want other people to behave towards you: interact, comment, upvote and be visible. Same way you would on any social media. Promote it… Direct followers elsewhere to your content on PeakD. (You do not have to be a HIVE user to view https://peakd.com/ content. ) It may take a lot of time, consistency and some promotion. One tip is to make influential connections inside and outside Hive. There are less than a million HIVE users and not all of them are active daily users. But there are billions of potential viewers outside of HIVE.
