Featured Update: Feed Token Integration
We’ve been actively listening to our community and have officially decided to expedite the first integration of our token on the platform which users should expect to see in the next 6 weeks.
Our first implementation will be in the form of a tipping mechanism with a peer-to-peer payment system. Users will insert their Ethereum public address in their settings (personal wallet), and posts will then have tipping enabled. Completed tips will be reflected directly on the posts in real time. Along with this, we will design an algorithm that bumps extremely popular posts to the top of a separate feed for users to explore.
For the first iteration of this tipping mechanism, the default rate will be set to $0.10 per tip (at the current IFT exchange rate), and the equivalent in satoshis will be listed in a hover element on the tip button. Once a user decides to tip a post, a Web 3 integration will call their wallet to sign off on the transaction. We will provide a video guide showing users how to utilize this feature upon its release.
Having users insert their wallet address will also help us begin to create the alpha of our portfolio integration by default. This new token integration will be the first of many to come in the future — our next integrations will focus on premium content and our user-subscription model.

We’ve now implemented a feedback button directly on the site to report all bugs and user issues. For our desktop users, check out the left side of the screen to access the request page, and for our mobile users, check out: https://investfeed.useresponse.com/
Charting and Market Data
We’re currently in the process of finishing up the first release of our advanced charts. We want investFeed users to not only be able to post their chart predictions on investFeed, but get their charts from us as well. Expect to see this update be implemented quite soon.
Unicode Support and Multi-Language Expediting
We’ve now enabled Unicode support on investFeed to support all foreign characters. We’re hoping to leverage a translation API for our users to transcend language barriers and communicate in real-time by translating posts directly on the platform.
