Listnerds Implements Unstaking Records
Image by A New Feature on Listnerds
I have been on Listnerds for just over 4 months, and as a habitually disorganised person, I completely forgot to make a spreadsheet to record the dates that I started unstakes, and when they are due to pay out.
This has left me guessing, and even once or twice sending a ticket to the very overworked team of @jongolson Eliana and @BlainJones to check when my first unstake was due.
But as of today, we can now all view our unstake records in the Listnerds wallet section of the website 🙂
A development I've been eagerly awaiting to be able to build a more comprehensive spreadsheet that encompasses all the information I need to calculate profit vs subscription fees etc.
I do already have multiple spreadsheets to calculate staking rewards and posts shared, but this development by CTP's main dev @BlainJones has made my day, and I'd like to express my heartfelt thanks to him for putting in the work to add this functionality.
My Listnerds Journey So Far
All in all, I have found listnerds to be a very positive experience.
For me, it is a way to discover new people's blogs that share similar interests to mine and to promote content, both new and old, and get new eyes on high-quality fiction that I could have submitted to literary journals but decided to self-publish on hive instead.
I have been around steem/hive for 5 years now, and I have seen many serious writers leave to write on Medium or Patreon because of the seven-day payout window.

I completely understand why the payout window is essential to stop spammer/plagiarism abuse, but I think that listnerds provides talented content creators with a way to help make those masterpieces they might have spent days creating evergreen.
Even if they don't earn Listnerd tokens by having the email approved, many professional writers care more about their work being read, and listnerds provides them with a chance to bring a new audience to their work.
Pros and Cons - I'm Not a Fanboy and Shoot Straight from the Hip 😂
Listnerds is a relatively new project, and on top of that, it has been launched in the middle of a crypto bear market so there are a lot of issues that would be solved with the renewed interest that a bull run would bring to hive.
This list is by no means meant to disparage or criticise, but I am playing devil's advocate here and pointing out the difficult points as an aid to inspire possible solutions.
| Listnerds can be used for both affiliate marketing or content discovery | The Listnerd token needs further utility to bolster demand |
| The earning potential through staking rewards is great | Since the team has dropped the buy wall liquidity is low |
| As early adopters, with a little patience, we will all be ahead of the curve | Listnerds isn't listed on any major exchanges like Bittrex limiting price appreciation |
| Listnerds encourages people from the affiliate marketing world to learn content creation | The team could be more active in seeking out partnerships (perhaps with Leofinance) and announce them to the CTP community |
| Listnerds is rapidly becoming known in the wider hive ecosystem | Listnerd's only utilities at the moment are to increase voting power and staking rewards |
All of these pro and cons are points that I'm sure many people have considered but not mentioned for fear of rocking the boat.
I'm not trying to rock the boat either, but at the same time I was educated to practice critical thinking, and as I attended many peer-reviewed writing workshops at university I know how helpful it can be to brainstorm a project.
If I have got any of my observations wrong in my pros and cons table, please don't hesitate to let me know in the comments section.
Web 3.0 Future is Bright
After that exercise in critical thinking, I would like to express how impressed I am at all the work that has been put into the Listnerd website and back-end blockchain coding. It boggles my mind that Blain does all the dev work himself, and I truly do take my hat off to you sir!
Thanks for the new update to the site, and I hope everyone can see this as one of many steps in building the best email marketing service in the web 3.0 world.
Thanks for reading.

I'm a bit slow - I noticed that open orders are recorded on the wallet but hadn't twigged this was new! It's great to have a record of unstakes, too.
Yeah, it only popped up last night... so I decided to write a post about it at 1am in the morning to see if I could be the first to break the news 😂
It is a great feature, especially for those people who want to include potential listnerd earnings into their budgeting spreadsheets.
😂
How do you feel a bull run would change things?
One word... hype!
I'm sorry to be that cynic that no one wants to listen to 😂 but I've been through two bull runs now and one and a half bear markets. If hive takes off in a bull run, then projects like listnerds will gain a lot of interest (and hype) from the earning potential with higher hive prices.
Those are my 10 cents on it anyway. It would also help massively if the listnerds team somehow got the token listed on bittrex or Binance near to or after the BTC halving.
I know the answer they'd give would be, "that is impossible as it is a hive engine token." But it isn't impossible to migrate tokens to other blockchains through mass burn events or forks.
These are all thoughts I have about how a bull run could benefit Listnerds massively, but it would mean taking risks and making changes.
Hype would only bring speculative investors who are, by their nature, fickle. They're here today and gone tomorrow.
The fundamental is whether there is a good business model or "use case" as they say. There's a lot of confusion about the "use case" for LISTNERDS which, like HIVE, is about growing an alternative economy, one that supports particular sorts of actions.
A good parallel is SplinterLands. The two things are designed for different purposes or "use cases" but they have a lot in common in terms of each of them having a specific (second-layer) function. The trajectory of Splinterlands, hugely successful as it is, hasn't happened overnight and we are probably looking at a similar timescale for ListNerds and LISTNERDS.
LEO has been listed elsewhere, as a second layer token, so that option is possible. The question is whether this would be the right time in the lifecycle of LISTNERDS. I would suggest not: there's a lot of development to take place yet.
Launching in a bear market is a sensible option, even if it happened by accident rather than design, so that you have time to grow the idea through people using it and suggesting improvements before it starts scaling.
I agree, but 99.9% of the crypto market is built on hype and not real products. E.g. IOTA (the internet of things) an altcoin ICO project that's value went ballistic in 2017; its stated aim was to use blockchain to create smart cities where cars earned tokens for reporting GPS coordinates of traffic flow/speed via a blockchain mechanism, allowing for smoother and less congested cities... I saw all sorts of 'cyberpunk' bullsht claims around that project. Some of the claims they were making were not beyond the realms of what blockchain tech might be able to accomplish in 30-50 years' time with the advent of AI integration and interoperability between different blockchain mechanisms... but at that time what they were selling was pure sci-fi fairy dust.
Speculation to put it in simple terms.
Hive has a product, but is absolutely terrible at breaking through the barriers that web 2.0 puts up to prevent the word getting out to the masses. Listnerds does have a product of sorts, and an innovative mechanism compared to web 2.0 affiliate marketing and viral mailing systems.
I'm not knocking either hive or Listnerds, but I am saying that the initial bump in awareness for projects like this - steem back in 2016/17 was exactly the same - was speculative investment.
I completely agree with what you're saying here. It is much better to build Listnerds (or any similar crypto project) in the bear market and try and test different token utilities while there is a diehard userbase who will help and feedback on what they feel works and doesn't. This hopefully will mean part of the direction of development will come from consensus based upon the feedback of the people who actually use the product.
Also, yes I agree that the timing might not be right for a major exchange listing right now, but the listnerds whitepaper is one page long and has zero plans outlined for future events. What I was saying about the BTC halving in my earlier comment
It would also help massively if the listnerds team somehow got the token listed on bittrex or Binance near to or after the BTC halving.was simply about positioning for maximum value and impact of the project token as the charts do not lie lol
In the chart below the faint yellow lines represent past halving events, and the solid blue line I've drawn in represents the next halving in May 2024. It is all there plain to see, halving = BTC value boost which = hive and associated products/HE tokens also appreciate in $ value.
There is a parabolic bull run approx 4-6 months after each halving, and that drags the rest of the market up with it in dollar value. After all, we all want to make money as well as find utility... or what is the point?
So basically we agree with each other? 😍
I think for the main part Shani, yes we agree on most points 😍
You're a funny one really! I think this is the first time I'm reading a post about listnerds and smiling 😅
Habitually disorganized? Thank goodness for this new development, I really don't want to imagine that habitual... of yours 😅
I bet you! The pros of listnerds are Pro! I think it's a multiple in one system, I love it especially after reading this again.
Your journey so far is inspiring, I hope to get there and past there soon too (especially on listnerds, I'm still new there 😁)
Nice reading from you, thanks for the update and for sharing on listnerds.
Read from LN
😅 ha ha, I'm glad my post could give you a chuckle and raise a smile @merit.ahama
I am indeed a naturally disorganised person, and I only learned how to use microsoft excel when I got into crypto so I could keep track of what was worth what, and where tokens were... and if I'd already sold them or not?
Yes, this new development has allowed me to know what is happening again 🤣
To put it into perspective... this is what my home workstation looks like:
🤣🤣🤣
I need a little help from the listnerds team to organise my unstakes 😉
Oh my goodness! I think I cracked my ribs... That is one perfect example of a disorganized work space at home.
Yeah, I agree with you... We need help from Listnerds 😂😂
50K? thats a lot, I only got 7500 LISTNERDS right now...

Yup, I paid for enterprise membership from the beginning and put in a lot of work.
It has paid off.
Good luck on your listnerds journey @lasseehlers :-)
Great, how long have you been using Listnerds? Sorry if it is in your post...
I got the enterprice membership and been at it for 3 weeks.
You have a good eye for detail. Thanks for pointing out the new feature. It will be very helpful.
!CTP
Thanks @beststart
Yeah, I'm a bit of a sleuth when it comes to noticing fine detail as part of what I do in my IRL job is taking commissions as a research writer.
When I noticed this feature last night, I thought 'hey, that looks like something everyone should know about.'
Lol, not that everyone wouldn't have noticed anyway, but the writer in me can't help myself but report and analyse 😉😂
P.s. thanks for the CTP tip
Much !LUV
@raj808(1/3) gave you LUV.

Thanks I didnt know about the new feature until you wrote! Its a great step in the right direction.
I am glad to be of service, and in a previous life, I worked both as a press officer and a journalist... so I'm pretty good at spotting a scoop as they call it in the industry 😂
Lol, but this one had me up until 2.30 am yesterday writing it as I only noticed at 1pm when I was planning to go to bed... then the writers' muse took me over, and now I've been yawning all day lol
Early night for me tonight I think... or maybe just a mammoth lie in 🤣
Hell yeah to the millionaire thing 😉
hehe!!! nice one Raj!

This is an interesting insight. If ListNerds is thriving even in the middle of a bear market, I wonder how will it go once the bulls start coming?
Your pros and cons are very constructive.
I was also at a loss what specific date will I receive my unstaked tokens. Thanks for sharing this update.
