We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately!

It is with great pride and joy that I can announce that the Zel Team has acquired the majority share in CoinRequest.io CoinRequest has for a long time alongside Zel been pioneers in the field of getting user ids instead of wallet addresses out to the public, and as such; this is a mutually beneficial match, clearly enhancing the potential for both parties.

Furthermore, their personal pages provide an excellent gateway for services potentially hosted on Flux, bringing users a Patreon style interface in exchange for exclusive content or services hosted on Flux, not to mention the ability for developers to “invoice” and be paid for the development work being completed on Flux. Making sure developers can be securely compensated for development work is a high priority to the team.

ZelTutor:

ZelTutor is the concept of dockerizing a simple e-learning website, hosting it on Flux, and paying for access/extended access via one of the personal pages.

A live teaching + coursework online model of delivery would suit this method of deployment exceptionally well.

It would even be doable to offer prep courses for a specific qualification, giving an exam, and having live feedback sessions as preparatory stages are completed.

MentorMe:

Perhaps the most interesting potential project making use of this technology combination would be something like MentorMe.

The cryptocurrency space is frequently hard to fathom and unassailable space, for both programmers and users alike. The concept of MentorMe offers a community a shot at adopting new developers who are just entering the space and or who are learning an additional language to contribute in.

New developers/translators/whatever the community needs sign up. They are handed a series of micro tasks to accomplish in exchange for community tips. In addition to the tips, they will also be able to receive community feedback on their contributions from community assigned mentors.

Something micro-task based with incentives delivered straightforwardly should encourage new developers to get their toes wet in the cryptocurrency space as well as encourage existing community members to engage with their needed skill sets.

What does all this mean for Zel holders, miners, and node operators?

Mainly that Zel is still at the forefront of pushing for making crypto easily usable and in this case opening up the enormous potential market there is when you combine private decentralized hosting with an easy to use payment/sponsorship gateway.

The sky really is the limit and if you would like potential use-cases, you might be able to think up featured in a future article, please do not hesitate to reach out to me (Bigpiggy01)on the Zel Discord or Telegram.

As the Zel Team has repeatedly stressed in several articles, “NO!” You should do your own due diligence and verify for yourself that the information provided to you here is correct and valid. A good way of doing so is joining the Discord and Telegram communities and check out the information flow for your self.

Then and only then, should you start looking at your own risk tolerance and potential problems along the way. Once you have made those decisions, please do feel free to engage to whatever extent you desire.

On behalf of the Zel Team, thank you for reading!
