I had been chatting with Eric Lee, founder of BTS labs on an adhoc basis on Telegram.Eric has been very insightful regarding exchange listings and general startup advice. A few days ago he surprised me with a message saying that he wants to give Blurt exposure at their next meetup on the 29th of December in Shenzhen.
Eric said I was welcome to provide a 2-minute video introducing Blurt and he will feature it at the live meetup. There is no cost to us for this and I am grateful to BTS labs for the exposure for Blurt. I put this video together, pretty much had to condense the Blurt concept in a very short space of time, but it turned out ok, with practice my presentation videos will improve.
The awesome thing is I got to show off our new Raspberry Pi capabilities we are currently perfecting on Arch Linux. I'm going back to testing the image build today. Please feel free to visit our file server for the latest full or light image builds https://megadrive.blurt.foundation/

This is really a good news , seems like Christmas has already dropped a after gift for blurt foundation already.
What can bring more happiness than somthing like this.
Everyone mark the date 29th December 🔥🔥
If blurt is getting exposure to Chinese market and that too for no cost i think nothing can be great than this 🙂
Awesome. Way to go... the more videos like this the better. Would be awesome to show how a Raspberry Pi is set up to run a Blurt Witness Node.
Well done Ricardo! But Isn't it a contradiction in terms to enter the Chinese market with a censorship-resistant blockchain technology? Anyone who is even interested in something like this in China, receives penalty points on the certificate of good conduct.
This is precisely the market that needs Blurt the most, users who are interested can use it anonymously to have their voice heard.
Yes. That's clearly true but don't we all know the Chinese way of communication.
I'm not a true China expert, but I've learned the following over decades of observation. Mainland Chinese never speak directly about burning social or political issues in their society. They wouldn't talk about censorship to you or even to each other. If anything, the Chinese describe a problem in general terms without ever naming it directly.
A person from this culture would never verbally touch the anti-authoritarian core of your message directly. The word censorship therefore has the same effect in a discussion among Chinese business people as if you were talking about Bernie Sander's monster cock in a nunnery. With the word you implant at least one uncomfortable feeling with which you achieve the opposite of your original intention.
In this way, not only do Chinese politicians express themselves, but the specific communication behavior runs through their entire culture. If you talk about censorship, that's already a statement that makes the Chinese uncomfortable. On the other hand, if you describe the advantages of your system without political overtones and in a harmless way express what it actually is, you are describing a technical system that resists any subsequent change. This is no longer an inadmissible thought for the addressees, but only a correct description that also includes resistance to censorship without having mentioned the word censorship. You must not deny your Chinese audience the intelligence to conclude that your proposed system is of course also censorship-resistant.
will it really be problematic for people as @afrog said. This was the scene here in India as well.
There was never such a censorship in India.
Few banks were blocking account. my kotak bank was blocked. thankfully i wasn't having much fund in that.
Yeah, few did and few still do but that's all illegal and could be challenged in courts. This was because of some confusion and mis-communication. But there was no legitimate censorship in our country.
Hope your bank has unblocked your account by now.
In china people are penalized for this thing. i remember just 2 years back in India the Reserve bank of India was also against the concept of Blockchain and crypto currencies.
And any Indian account if directly was found to be indulge in with crypto related activities they were simply blocking the account without any notice.
Nice updates
Blurt to the world
Great video to present Blurt in 2 minutes. It would be better if you can add Chinese / Mandarin and English sub-titles to it as well.
And please flash some front-end URL for signing up new people. Also, imho, it would make more sense to tell BlurtBlocks as Blurt Blockchain Explorer.
All the best! :+1:
We definitely need to spread blurt to the world. The 1:1 airdrop message to the steemit wallet of the steem users was one of the moves which brought me and many others to the blurt platform. Similarly, exposure to the big Chinese market via BTS lab will be a game-changer, we hope.
Your presentation was indeed great. Being a co-founder, your speech is more acceptable on behalf of the blurt blockchain, than others'.
Good luck.
