This is the first ‘Skyfleet Monthly Manifest’ in what will be a series of articles to accompany the main Skycoin Community Updates. These articles are to bring attention to all the amazing things being accomplished by you, the Skyfleet.

This month you probably noticed a huge influx in Skyfleet created content. Undoubtedly, the reason being Skycoin Rewards, which launched this month under the guidance of @ProfessorKubyashi, @Caribou and myself. I’ll be honest, it exceeded my expectations and has inspired me to double down so we can make this into something really special!

Writing an article, making a YouTube video or hosting a Skycoin meetup are some of the ways you can earn tickets fo Skycoin Rewards. Tickets are your chance to win prizes, which are drawn monthly during a live awards show. There are also spot prizes for those of you who tune in, however, watching is not compulsory for the main prizes. The next show is on the 5th of May at 08:00.

For complete details on how the program works, read this article and join the SRP Telegram group. For ideas on what type of content to make, read this article.

Thank you to all the participants so far! There have been some amazing submissions; of which the best are shown in this article, along with the results to the first live-stream awards show: https://youtu.be/MOzhH4mZF7U

March Community Articles

The number of community Skycoin articles and writers continue to increase with three newcomers this month; Fray, Huan and Frahane, welcome! We’re looking forward to seeing your future articles and how your writing evolves.

Lawrence Qholloi came through with a trio of strong articles. He helped put the final nail in the kidnapping FUD coffin, he explained the latest in the McAfee saga and told the world how to pick a winner in the post-shitcoin shakedown cryptoverse.

Christian Ott updated his go-to explainer on Skycoin Distribution with the latest information. He also performed a superb Skycoin liquidity analysis, showing Binance to have the deepest orderbooks for buying and selling SKY.

Marco Casino reminded us again why the World Needs Skywire More than Ever, explaining how ISPs in Australia and New Zealand used a national tragedy as an excuse to block access to websites that they couldn’t censor.

He also exposed the Anti-Skycoin Paid-FUD and wrote an explainer article on the official Skyminers.

Fray enjoyed a breakout month with the release of several fantastic articles. He explained Why Skycoin is Still Under the Radar in 2019, and how Skycoin is an ecosystem. These provide another great community explanation of the project. He also authored How to Buy Skycoin in 2019, how to send your newly bought Skycoins and how to engage with the Skycoin community online.

Blevenec, one of our strongest Skyfleet ambassadors in West Africa, also made his writing debut. For all you Francophone SKY fans, read Pourquoi j’ai décidé d’investir dans le Skycoin? (Why I decided to invest in Skycoin) and his two follow-up pieces on the Skycoin ecosystem and how to use the Skycoin wallet, explained in French.

Huan wrote a number of articles explaining in Vietnamese how to get started with Skywire. Originally for his website SkywireX, he then ported 3 of them over to Medium as his first Skycoin Rewards submissions.

Spencer Daemore of cryptocurrency mining outfit CryptoKings published his complete DIY Skyminer Build Guide. This is an in-depth guide with many photos and concise explanations of every step.

There were also articles from contributors including Frahane Bio with Avec Skycoin nous pouvons désormais vaincre le chômage et la pauvreté dans le mondeand RaneVagora on Synth‘s beef with Upwork.

All of the Skyfleet articles are published on Medium for everyone to read and share. The SkyFleet Captain’s Log collates the highest quality Skycoin community content in one place. It features prolific Skyfleet writers who have contributed the most so far to Skycoin with their writing skills. Follow all the Skyfleet writers and support them with your claps.

Community videos

CryptoRich did a video reading of the February 2019 Update, which also covers the awesome website SKYFUD brought to you by Crypto_Casino.

Speaking of which, it’s clearly working as shown by the massive increase in traffic over the last few months!

I compiled my usual video recap of the monthly article and anything noteworthy. Going forward I will be covering both the Skycoin update and these articles, let’s see if I can keep it to under an hour… https://youtu.be/e3hUan4cCds

Loyal Skyfleet member and proficient coder BigOokie released two excellent walkthroughs for the installation of Skywire mainnet on MacOS, and installing CX Language on MacOS via Homebrew. These have been re-posted to YouTube on the Skyfleet channel here and here.

Fray matched his writing work with the fantastic narration and production of four videos to help newcomers to Skycoin. Check out Intro to Coin Hours, a Roadmap to the Skycoin Community, Sending Skycoin like a Pro and How to Buy SKY in 2019.

Casino released several videos on his new YouTube channel — Skywire Revolution and the hilarious subtitled parody Skycoin Synth interview.

Skyfleet Projects #1 | Skycoin x BTCPay Server

BTCPay Server is an open-source, self-hosted payment processing platform that allows merchants and individuals to receive payments of Bitcoin and a range of altcoins in a censorship-resistant manner.

Integration into BTCPay Server will be a huge step towards expanding the transactional use of Skycoin. This will be the first of the Skyfleet Projects, which we encourage the community to help build. Start by reading this summary article, head over to the Skyfleet GitHub account, and contact @BigOokie, @moe_narrow or @MacSkyver on Telegram to lend a hand!

The second Skyfleet Project is being worked on already and will be announced in next months article, so keep an eye out for that!

3D Printing Room:

The Skycoin 3D Printing room has been full steam ahead under the capable watch of @Moojie and @SkyReV with other prominent Skyfleet members such as @benji241, @Zyklone92, @Erik_canadiancrypto and @IamSkyknight helping to power the machine.

The group started March with some Skycoin branded prints, then receiving instructions from our all-knowing leader they started working on what was initially dubbed ‘FOMO Bots’, later morphing into ‘Battle Bots’ that will be controlled via Skywire… Anyone with the last name ‘Connor’ beware!
