So I just saw the post you reblogged about A.I on Tumblr and I'm not sure what to think. I want to get back into post my Inuyasha art but now I'm worried about this whole ordeal. On the one hand I don't want to give up making and sharing my art w/ others (esp. Since I haven't in a while), but now I'm scared about it being stolen and other artists I love giving up posting. This whole debate with A.I has me so confused and scared and I really don't know whats going on. I'm also curious about what you will do if this deal goes through. Do you plan on using Glaze or something similar?

Come sit with me, anon cause to be frank, I'm trying to take that particular post with a grain of salt. I hope it's wrong, because it wasn't long ago we were hit with "oh my god tumblr is closing where is everyone going" and we're still here. But I won't lie, it pisses me off greatly that it's even a possibility.

I completely understand, and I say - go ahead and post it. Don't give up on art because a bunch of fuck bois with no talent in their short hairs decide that generative technology is the way to go. I honestly hope that it crashes and burns in the next couple years, if not sooner. It had potential before fat old men in suits decided that they had to have more money than they know what to do with. I'm not quitting, because it's my income. It's my joy. I am also fueled by spite, because if I wasn't I wouldn't be here right now.

Art getting stolen is always going to be a thing to worry about, even before AI unfortunately. People will repost without credit and still take credit when that post gets more traction. Create a watermark and be a menace to the reposters, I say. There's Glaze, like you mentioned, and Nightshade. I've heard you have to do them in that order for it to be effective.

You can also search haveIbeentrained.com to see if your work has been picked up and request for it to be pulled from the databases. I've found three more of mine this evening. One was one of my mother's paintings.

I've already erased 15 years of work off the internet when I deleted my deviantart gallery at the end of 2022. Some of that work is so old it was never shared anywhere else. I may not even have that work anymore. If the deal were to go through, I'm not deleting my blog. It's been active since 2012; there's no way I could go through and find every art post and delete it to repost glazed/nightshade versions. It won't affect the reblogs. I haven't personally tried Glazing anything yet because I'm not sure if it'd even be effective with my style, but it's something to try when time allows.

I'm gonna say it again - don't give up on your art. Whether you're doing it as a career (I dare someone say art is a sidehustle, this is not MLM and I am not some 2-bit influencer) or because it is something you just enjoy doing for the hell of it, you should continue. I've seen people give up entirely on art in the last year, and it makes me mad. If art is something you want to do, you shouldn't let anyone make you feel like you can't.

And if you need someone to rally behind you and cheer you on, you've got me in your corner 💕 Hell, feel free to tag me in some of your art, if you'd like!

How Could You? Horangi X Konig MLM Fanfic- XLostSoulsFoundX Word count- 500

"Do you honestly think I could ever love you?" König spoke looking down at Horangi. "I was only using you, You're such a fool." Horangi looked up König, holding his bleeding side. "König..How could you." Horangi gasped for air as König dug the knife deeper into Horangi's side.

-Earlier that week-

"Horangi, go grab the rest of the team we have a mission to go to." "Yes sir." Horangi smiled at the taller man before leaving.

"We have a mission a few hours from the base," König spoke in a deep demanding voice, his accent leaking through as he spoke. "We just need to get intel from the enemy base, they hacked into our database and we need to get it back. Understood?"

They geared up and headed to the trucks. König, got into the driver's seat and began to drive. Explained a bit more of the mission to the group.

•————————•

"You know your positions. Now go and don't get caught." They all nodded.

Little did they all know that König was a spy, sent by the 'Enemy team'. König was talking to his actual team about stealing Kortac's information. Before heading out on the mission he informed the team, that Hutch and Roze would be on the lookout. 

•————————•

König and Horangi quietly sneaked into the computer room. "Okay, you stand by the door and I'll hack into the system." Horangi nodded his head, going by the door and standing watch.

König walked over to the computer, he began to hack into the system. Instead of stealing this base's information, he began to steal Kortac's information.

Horangi glanced over at the computer screen. "König? What are you doing?" König mumbled curses under his breath, as he turned around. "König?" Horangi's question again. "Come here and let me show you" Horangi, took a few cautious steps toward König.

Horangi stood next to König, looking down at the screen. Before feeling a sharp pain in his side. "König what are you d..doing" Horangi asked as he felt the pain get worse.

Horangi looked down at his side, seeing the knife. "Only what has to be done. Can't have you out there telling all my secrets now can I 사랑 (love)." Was the nickname Horangi his boyfriend often called him.

König laid Horangi on the ground slowly. "Ho..how could you do this to me..? I thought you loved me.." Horangi's voice shook.

"Do you honestly think I could ever love you?" König spoke looking down at Horangi. "I was only using you, You're such a fool." Horangi looked up König, holding his bleeding side. "König..How could you." Horangi gasped for air as König dug the knife deeper into Horangi's side.

König, dug the knife further into Horangi's side. Horangi began to cough blood up, as he stared into his lover's eyes. "You should have known it was as a game. I would never truly love you Horangi, It was all a part of the game. Stupid boy." König laughed coldly.

Can you describe some things you look for and ask of when searching for potential breeders?

I’m shopping around (I’ve been looking for breeders of several different kinds of terriers) and so far have yet to find a breeder who is the right fit. They either have well-socialized and behaved dogs but breed too young for my tastes and only rely on embark health tests, have years of experience with the breed but also question the “need” for dog vaccines, or some other BS.

I’m kind of at my wit’s end here at this point.

Sure, now i'm not going to give a comprehensive list here, i think @shrimpsisbugs post HERE is a great starting point, but here's a bit what i look for:

Relating to the Dogs Themselves:

-Does this breeder do all breed appropriate health testing?

-Are their dogs in the OFA database if they are North American based?

-Do their dogs have CHIC numbers in the OFA database and not just the minimum amount of health testing?

-No breeder prior to the age of 2 on any dog. All breeding dogs must complete full health testing before breeding.

-Do the dogs do stuff? Big red flag for me is when there is ONLY conformation photos of the dog as it is, imo, fairly easy to hide a unideal temperament in the ring. I want to see the dogs interacting with others, doing work, doing play, being dogs.

-Does this breeder achieve titles OTHER than conformation? This is a big thing i look for because I do think that stable tempered dogs should be able to achieve titles other than confo fairly easily, especially if they are breed work specific titles. A breeder that does not have anything of value in their dogs other than confo is not a breeder i want to buy from.

-If it's a coated breed, do they have photos of the breeding dogs WITHOUT coat? This is important to make structural opinions based outside of corrective grooming.

Relating to the Breeder Themselves:

-When i talk to the breeder are they willing to discuss in depth all health testing results AND whatever titles the dogs have? Anybody not willing to discuss this is a no go for me.

-Does breeder keep up to date with current science? Not doing so i a big red flag for me. I actually heard about the no go for legumes and a lot of the not great nutritional balance of many boutique dog foods years before it became a hot topic because of my breeder

-Does breeder allow me to come see the adult breeding dogs in person? (Many breeders will limit visitors to puppies in case of disease which to me is not a red flag in itself).

-Does the breeder choose the puppies for clients? This is important to me as I, as a buyer, am not around the puppies from birth, but the breeder is.

-Breeder should not be pushing certain MLMs, anti-vaccine policies etc. on buyers. Health decision related contract items should be able to be a discussion between the breeder and client (Original contract was to neuter Sigurd at 6 months, but through discussion i pushed it to 11 months and each subsequent contract i've received for other dogs has a much further timeline for spay/neuter, especially as my breeder has kept up with science).

Other stuff:

-If you can visit the kennel, is it clean? Where are dogs kept? Are puppies raised inside, what sort of socialization process do the puppies go through before they leave home? These are important questions to me. A dog's living quarters should NEVER be hidden from potential buyers. EVER. My breeder has a virtual kennel tour available in case people are unable to physically visit.

My favorite thing to mention regarding dog breeders is: NO GOOD RESPONSIBLE BREEDER HAS ANYTHING TO HIDE.

Breeders should be excited and proud of their dogs and accomplishments and be willing to talk about them, they should also be upfront and honest about any faults produced, things they're looking to correct, and they should never be shying away from talking about any unhealthy dogs they produce. You as a buyer should get an honest and comprehensive, and honestly long winded, description of these things.

Big red flags for me are when breeders are insistent something ISN'T a problem in the breed when having discussions on breed improvement. Like, for example, when people say there's not a working drive problem in Alaskan Malamutes, when many people that actually work the dogs long distance describe otherwise.

hi im sharing your third life burger king au with the masses today. any trivia you want to share about it

- fun fact about me, i know next to nothing about third life. everything i know i learned against my will bc my roommate keeps hosting third life watch parties. consequently, i kept asking them about stupid shit that happened during third life for this au and this is how i learned ren was canonically naked during the execution.

- anyway moving onto in universe fun facts ren wakes up at the hospital with no memory of anything past crowning himself the burger king, so martyn tells him that they defeated the mcdonald’s in a glorious battle where martyn shielded ren with his own body and single handedly defeated grian and scar in hand to hand combat and also burnt down the white castle in his honor

- ren believes every word he says whole heartedly despite the seemingly permanent tear tracks down martyn’s face and the complete lack of any sort of physical evidence

- meanwhile scar wakes up alone and grian does not contact him for the rest of the summer. scar could not care less and spends the rest of his summer in the burn unit pitching his new definitely-not-an-mlm to bdubs and joel because they cannot physically leave. bdubs has a great time. joel pays him three hundred dollars to leave and never come back.

- grian meanwhile has flown back to england and spends the rest of the summer attached to mumbo’s side trying to replace his newly awakened gay feelings for his manager with deranged gay feelings for mumbo. it works a little bit.

- skizz feels awful about doxxing jimmy and exposing his google+ influencer career so to make up for it he spends the rest of the summer completely wiping jimmy’s presence from the internet. this works so well that jimmy and scott have to spend the rest of their summer trying to convince their university that jimmy does in fact exist and attend their school bc skizz also wiped him from the university’s database.

- tango had a great summer. he managed to hack the skee ball machine so he gets unlimited plays for a quarter and spends the entire summer becoming a pinball wizard. impulse joins him when he recovers from the stress of trying to be a patron to both the burger king and mcdonald’s and being consequently blackmailed by both of them.

- bigb had a very peaceful summer in the library. he wouldn’t say he spent the entire summer hiding from his friends per say, but he did spend what some would call an unnecessary amount of time in the archives in the basement.

- cleo and etho are also mysteriously absent the rest of the summer, and if anyone asks no they were not in the vicinity the white castle at 5:37 on June 7th stop asking questions if you value your life.

tell the masses i said hi

[billie-brogan]

( katy o’brian, 37, cis woman, she/her ) — Look who it is! If you take a look at our database, you’ll find that BILLIE BROGAN is a PERSONAL TRAINER that works in SECTOR 4. According to the file, they’re a mutant with the power of GRAVITY MANIPULATION. That must be why they’re LOYAL and SELF-LOATHING. If you ask me, they remind me of the musky scent of fresh sweat, the visceral weight of a depression that drags you unstoppably down, and the soft leather of old boxing gloves. They are affiliated with NOBODY.

basic information:

character name: Billie Brogan

nickname (s): N/A

face claim: Katy O'Brian

mutation status: Gen II

birthday: Aug 29 (leo)

sexuality: Lesbian (naturally)

moral alignment: Chaotic good

occupation: Personal trainer

work sector: 4

affiliation: None

3 positive traits: Courageous, just, loyal

3 negative traits: Brash, stubborn, self loathing

biography (optional):

Trigger warnings: death, alcoholism, child abuse

Billie's mother died giving birth to her; this is a crime for which her father never forgave her. He turned to alcohol to deal with his grief, and he turned to violence to deal with the fact that Billie looked more and more like her mother as she got older.

If she was going to get hit, Billie wanted to hit back, so from a young age she was committed to her workout routine. She became what we might call a strapping young lass, and she was as quick to protect others as she was herself. That's how she came to befriend Morrigan: his slight stature and reticent personality brought out her protective side in a big way.

Childhood friendship blossomed into teenage/young adult romance, and they dated. They really did love each other! It was definitely normal that they both had to get pretty drunk for any acts of intimacy. Billie ignored the toll it took on her mental health, but she has always been prone to depression and bouts of dissociation. Lying to herself really didn't help.

Eventually, she figured out the truth. She had to dump Morrigan, because she was in fact a lesbian. This worked out quite well as he turned out to be gay. You simply love to see the WLW/MLM solidarity! And they stayed friends despite of, or even because of those trials. She was his knight in shining armour, always ready to defend Morrigan from his own abusive father (and his shitty little brother Ezra).

Fortunately, the trash took itself out when Ezra almost killed his/Morrigan/Trent's father, and he left the coutry. Things settled down for a while, but being permanently maimed didn't stop Daddy Shaw from treating Morrigan terribly. Unfortunately (fortunately...) Billie snapped one day, and finished what Ezra had started. So, liberty for Morrigan! But prison for Billie...

The minute she got out, she and Morrigan knew they had to blow this popsicle stand. Morri's brother Trent had always been nice to him, so they ended up following his footsteps, and that's what brought them from Ireland to Oz.

questionnaire:

how do they feel about living in sol city? have they always lived there or did they travel from another settlement?

Billie is still pretty new to Sol City, but she quite likes it! Feels a bit safer than their town back home, and she appreciates the opportunity for a new start. The irony is not lost on her that she is now an ex-con from the British Isles making a new beginning in Australia. Funny how history repeats itself, huh?

do they trust the council’s leadership? why or why not?

Ehh... TBD. She isn't anti-authority particularly, and she gets on well with the few councillors she has been getting to know personally, but it doesn't sit right that they're all human.

if they chose their sector and profession, why did they make that choice? if they didn’t, why not? were they happy with their assignment or not?

She chose it! Although she's brash and quick to laugh on the surface, Billie takes safety and self-defence very seriously. Mostly she works with those from Sector 1, training to keep themselves in peak condition and ensure their safety out in the wastes, and she will kick their ass if she doesn't believe they're taking it seriously. But she's also available for anyone to hire, so if people just want a PT for health/aesthetics/whatevs, she is down for that and she's generally more relaxed in those sessions! She might also run some women's self defence classes! Who knows! I think that could be neat.

what’s one object that they always keep on their person?

Eating disorder tw: A little notebook for tracking her calories/macros etc. Although she is ostensibly really healthy, Billie's behaviour around food very much veers into orthorexia nervosa territory. She cannot let loose and relax where food is concerned.

(mutant only section)

what is your character’s ability (or abilities)?

Gravity manipulation.

are they gen i or gen ii?

Gen II.

what can your character do? what are their strengths?

Manipulate gravity. I feel the strengths of this are self-explanatory!

what can’t they do? what are their weaknesses?

She can only influence gravity in a general capacity rather than on specific targets, and she can only influence it in her own area. So, if someone is attacking her she could turn the gravity right up to stop them from moving. But, she'd also be making herself unable to move.

It also isn't always in her control. Billie has always struggled with depression, and during depressive episodes she finds the gravity gets stronger around her whether she wants to or not. She can trap herself in bed for days, pinned by the crushing weight of it, and she becomes a sort of inescapable black hole for anyone that draws near.

is there anything else you’d like to specify about them?

NO <3

[queer-starwars-bracket]

Queer Star Wars Characters (Round 1): General Bracket Match 21

Kitrep Soh | Identity: gay | Media: The High Republic The Rising Storm

Kitrep Soh was the son of the Chancellor of the Republic Lina Soh. A shy person, he disliked how he had become a newsworthy person since his mother’s election as chancellor. He didn’t begrudge her for this, and saw her as a good mother and always making enough time for him. This was despite the fact she made him attend the Great Fair on Valo even though it was a media event. 

When the Republic delegation arrived on Valo, he was immediately drawn to the mayor of Valo’s son Jom Lariin. While he hated being dragged across the fair with his mother, once he got over his initial awkwardness with Jom, they were able to strike up quite the conversation. The next day, the two teenagers snuck away from their parties to board the Innovator (a ship on display at the fair) for a secret date. Unfortunately, the Innovator was one of the Nihil’s first targets when they attacked Valo. The two boys, an attendant, and a Quarren guest attempted to find a way to escape the damaged ship. The Jedi Bell Zettifar was able to rescue them and lead them and several other survivors to safety. After the attack on Valo, he spent most of his time by his comatose mother’s side, only leaving to say goodbye to Jom. He kissed Jom, not caring that cam-droids were recording. He would never play to the cameras, but now he wasn’t afraid of the public role he had been forced into. 

Sorc Tormo | Identity: mlm | Media: Jedi Fallen Order/Survivor

Sorc Tormo was the flashy leader of the Haxion Brood. Due to Greez’s large gambling debts to the Brood, he sent bounty hunters to capture Cal Kestis, who was forced to fight in Sorc’s gladiator pits. After Cal’s escape, he tasked many Brood bounty hunters to attempt to kill Cal and the crew of the Mantis. This continued even after the end of Fallen Order, and the destruction of one of their bases only stopped this for a short time. There’s a good chance that all the resources Sorc has dedicated to capturing Kal and Greez is the ruin of his organization. Despite the sunk-cost fallacy going on here, database entries in Survivor paint Sorc as a very shrewd leader who is skilled at recruiting the best bounty hunters. In Survivor, Caij Vanda mentions that she held Sorc’s boyfriend hostage at one point, resulting in his inclusion on this list.

Why Do MLM Companies Need Software?

1. Complex Commission Structures

MLM businesses operate using various commission and bonus models. Manual calculation is time-consuming and error-prone. Software automates the process, ensuring accuracy and timely payouts.

2. User Management

With potentially thousands of users in a growing network, it’s critical to have an organized system for user data, genealogy trees, and performance tracking.

3. Compliance & Security

Regulatory compliance and data security are crucial in MLM. Custom software ensures these aspects are covered with audit logs, secure payment gateways, and privacy protection.

4. Real-Time Analytics

MLM software provides dashboards for real-time tracking of sales, recruitment, income, and overall network performance.

Key Features of MLM Software

1. Customizable Compensation Plans

MLM software supports various plans like:

Binary Plan

Unilevel Plan

Users and admins benefit from integrated e-wallets that support deposits, withdrawals, transfers, and transaction histories.

3. Genealogy Tree View

A graphical representation of the downline structure helps users understand their network and strategize better.

4. Automated Commission Calculations

Daily, weekly, or monthly commissions can be automatically calculated and disbursed according to company policies.

5. User and Admin Dashboards

Separate dashboards offer relevant insights and functionalities, such as new sign-ups, top performers, sales graphs, and activity logs.

6. Replicated Websites

For branding and recruitment, each distributor can have a personal website linked to the central system.

7. Multi-Currency and Multi-Language Support

To support international expansion, MLM software often includes multi-language interfaces and currency converters.

8. Mobile App Integration

Having mobile-friendly access or dedicated mobile apps enhances user engagement and accessibility.

Steps in MLM Software Development

1. Requirement Gathering

Understand the business model, compensation structure, and specific operational needs of the MLM company.

2. Plan Selection and Customization

Decide on the tech stack (e.g., Laravel, Node.js, React, MySQL) and software architecture—cloud-based or on-premises.

4. Development and Testing

Build the application with modular code, integrate third-party services, and conduct rigorous testing (unit, integration, user acceptance).

5. Deployment and Maintenance

After launching the software, continuous support and updates ensure scalability and bug resolution.

Challenges in MLM Software Development

1. Scalability

Handling thousands or millions of users requires a highly scalable backend system.

2. Data Security

With sensitive financial and personal data, encryption, role-based access control, and secure APIs are mandatory.

3. Regulatory Compliance

MLM is often scrutinized for unethical practices. The software must be developed in accordance with the legal frameworks of various countries.

4. Customization vs. Standardization

Balancing client-specific customization with the need to keep the core product standardized and maintainable is a common challenge.

3. AR/VR for Training

MLM companies are beginning to use immersive technologies for onboarding and training.

4. Gamification

Increases user engagement by incorporating leaderboards, rewards, and levels.

5. Smart Contracts

Automating commissions using Ethereum-based smart contracts is being explored by progressive MLM startups.

Choosing the Right MLM Software Development Company

When selecting a developer or agency:

Check their experience with different compensation plans

Ask for live demos or case studies

Ensure post-deployment support

Verify security protocols

Consider cost versus scalability

Conclusion

MLM software development is at the heart of modern network marketing operations. It transforms the complexities of MLM into manageable, efficient systems that empower businesses to grow, engage users, and stay compliant. As technology continues to evolve, MLM software is becoming smarter, more transparent, and user-friendly—paving the way for the future of ethical and scalable network marketing.

info included here is brief! please see my database for full details of the books

[qbdatabase]

I just want to thank you for your hard work! I was planning on creating a list of bisexual literary fiction books and your database helped me, thank you! 💖

that's great!! I love hearing about when people use my database, especially when it makes things easier for book-ish tasks lol

just in case if you haven't seen my news post on here, I'm moving the database from google spreadsheets to a new app called Seatable at the end of the month. I'll still leave up the link to the old version for a month to give folks time to get used to the transition and let me know if there's anything not working or not as good about the new version

but PSA that if you have the link to my database saved in your browser or something, that link will eventually stop working. the wordpress blog will have the new link to the new database, and I'll update all my social with the new link too!

the Seatable version will let users search for multiple tags per column, so you can search for a Fantasy AND Romance, trans AND mlm, second chance AND friends to lovers AND single parent, etc

this also works for filtering out tags, and the Content Warnings column has been updated into a standardized list of 150 tags you can filter. so no more guessing if you should be typing "AIDs" "aids" "HIV" "HIV+" "AIDs/HIV" etc

I'm really hoping this helps make searching and filtering the database more intuitive, plus more useful for other archivists, librarians, book sellers, promoters, and just regular users looking for their favorite tropes!

The Future of MLM: Cryptocurrency and Smart Contract Integration

Multi-level marketing (MLM) has been around for decades, empowering individuals to build businesses through networks of distributors. But let’s face it: Traditional MLM models often struggle with trust issues, payment delays, and regulatory headaches. Enter cryptocurrency and smart contracts—two innovations poised to redefine the industry. By blending blockchain technology with MLM, businesses can create transparent, efficient, and globally accessible systems. This isn’t just a trend; it’s a revolution. Let’s explore how these technologies are shaping the future of MLM.

The Current State of MLM and Its Challenges

Before diving into solutions, it’s important to understand the pain points of traditional MLM:

Lack of Transparency: Many MLM companies face skepticism because compensation structures and payouts aren’t always visible to participants.

Payment Delays: Cross-border transactions often take days (or weeks) due to banking systems, frustrating distributors.

Regulatory Risks: Compliance with financial laws varies by region, creating legal complexities for global MLM operations.

These challenges aren’t just inconvenient���they’re barriers to growth. For instance, a distributor in Nigeria might wait weeks for a commission paid in USD, only to lose a chunk of it to fees.

How Cryptocurrency is Changing the Game

Cryptocurrency isn’t just about Bitcoin or meme coins. It’s a tool for solving real-world problems in MLM:

Instant Global Payments: Crypto transactions settle in minutes, regardless of location. A distributor in Asia can receive commissions in Ethereum or stablecoins like USDT instantly.

Decentralized Systems: Blockchain removes the need for intermediaries, reducing costs and dependency on banks.

Tokenized Incentives: Companies can create custom tokens to reward top performers, which can be traded or staked for extra income.

Imagine an MLM platform where rewards are paid in crypto tokens that appreciate in value over time—this adds a layer of financial incentive beyond traditional commissions.

Smart Contracts: Automating Trust

Smart contracts are self-executing agreements coded on blockchains like Ethereum. Here’s how they transform MLM:

Automatic Commissions: Rules for payouts are pre-programmed. When a sale happens, commissions are distributed instantly to uplines without manual intervention.

Transparent Tracking: Every transaction and referral is recorded on the blockchain, visible to all participants.

Regulatory Compliance: Contracts can be designed to adhere to regional laws, like capping referral levels to avoid pyramid scheme allegations.

For example, a skincare MLM could use smart contracts to release payments only when products are delivered, ensuring fairness for both buyers and sellers.

Benefits of Cryptocurrency MLM Software Development

Adopting crypto MLM software solutions offers tangible advantages:

Trust Through Transparency: Blockchain’s public ledger means no one can manipulate data. Participants verify transactions independently.

Enhanced Security: Encrypted wallets and decentralized storage reduce hacking risks compared to centralized databases.

Scalability: Crypto MLM platforms can handle thousands of transactions simultaneously, ideal for fast-growing networks.

A company using crypto MLM software could attract tech-savvy distributors by offering lower fees and real-time analytics dashboards.

Real-World Examples and Use Cases

While still emerging, several platforms showcase this fusion:

Decentralized MLM Platforms: Projects like MinePlex integrate crypto wallets, allowing users to earn tokens through referrals and purchases.

Hybrid Models: Some companies combine fiat and crypto payouts. For instance, a wellness brand might pay bonuses in Bitcoin while offering traditional USD options.

NFT Integration: A few platforms reward top performers with NFTs (digital collectibles), which unlock exclusive benefits or royalties.

Though not without risks (e.g., crypto volatility), these examples highlight the creative potential of blockchain in MLM.

Challenges and Considerations

Transitioning to crypto-driven MLM isn’t without hurdles:

Regulatory Uncertainty: Governments are still figuring out how to regulate crypto. MLM businesses must stay agile to comply with evolving laws.

Technical Complexity: Building a crypto MLM platform requires expertise in blockchain development, which can be costly.

User Adoption: Not everyone understands crypto. Platforms need intuitive interfaces and education resources to ease the transition.

For instance, a poorly designed wallet system could deter non-tech users, slowing growth.

The Future Outlook

The marriage of MLM and blockchain is still in its early days, but the potential is enormous:

Mainstream Adoption: As crypto becomes normalized, more MLM companies will adopt blockchain solutions to stay competitive.

Hybrid Models: Expect platforms offering both crypto and fiat options to cater to diverse audiences.

AI and Analytics: Future crypto MLM software could use AI to predict market trends and optimize compensation plans.

According to Market Research Future, the blockchain market could hit $137 billion by 2030—and MLM will claim a significant slice.

Conclusion

The future of MLM lies in embracing innovation. Cryptocurrency eliminates payment bottlenecks, smart contracts automate fairness, and blockchain builds trust where it’s needed most. While challenges like regulation and adoption persist, the benefits—transparency, speed, and global reach—are too compelling to ignore. Companies investing in cryptocurrency MLM software development today aren’t just solving old problems; they’re building the foundation for a smarter, more inclusive industry. The question isn’t whether MLM will adopt these technologies but how fast it will do so. Ready or not, the revolution is here.

Pre-Liminary Judgement and Request for Information: CryptBuilder MLM System

Once again thank you, dear tumblr readers and visitors. We are working hard to launch our project AND to work through your hints and whistleblower messages. It’s very obious to us, that there is a huge demand for information from (potential) crypto-MLM investors. And we are here to work for you!

One of our readers asked about a Crypto-MLM project called “CryptBuilder” (www.cryptbuilder.com). We did a quick research and double-checked the data with our database.

Our pre-liminary judgement: don’t investment!

CryptBuilder seems not to be a legitimate project. We have not found any of the team members on any social media channel, for example. Our lawyers have not been able to confirm the proper existence of the Montenegro-based company that allegedly operates CryptBuilder. We have not found any possibility to contact the company’s director NIKOLA SEKULOVIĆ. No Email address, phone number or social media contact is provided.

Moreover, we found that CryptBuilder is connected to 8Crypt, a Sofia-based crypto-payment company that is connected to Christian Michel SCHEIBENER and Nexus Global, a Crypto-MLM promoter and his latest project we catigorized as Crypto-MLM scam. 8Crypt is a company closely connected with the London-based VELTYCO, a company run and/or owned by Uwe LENHOFF and Ilan TZORYA.

We would like to learn more about the CryptBuilder project to make a final judgement on it. Hence, we would be more than happy to receive your feedback on it. Please use our Whistleblower system the get in touch with us.

Enhancing MLMs Using Cryptocurrencies

The integration of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology has transformed industries worldwide, and multi-level marketing (MLM) is no exception. Traditional MLM platforms have faced long-standing challenges, such as transparency issues, high operational costs, and geographical limitations. The introduction of cryptocurrencies and blockchain into MLM has not only addressed these concerns but also paved the way for more efficient, secure, and globally accessible platforms.

This blog explores how cryptocurrencies enhance MLM models, the role of crypto MLM software development, and why these advancements are reshaping the future of network marketing.

How Cryptocurrencies Revolutionize MLM Platforms

1. Transparent Transactions with Blockchain

Transparency is critical in MLM, where trust among participants is a key factor. Traditional MLM platforms often rely on centralized databases, leaving room for manipulation or errors in tracking transactions and commission payouts.

Cryptocurrencies leverage blockchain technology to record transactions on an immutable ledger. This ensures:

All transactions and payouts are transparent and tamper-proof.

Participants can independently verify referrals, earnings, and activities.

Enhanced trust between platform administrators and participants.

By incorporating crypto MLM software development, businesses can offer an unparalleled level of transparency, building confidence in their MLM ecosystem.

2. Decentralized and Automated Operations

Traditional MLM platforms often rely on centralized systems, which can create bottlenecks in commission distribution and data management. These systems are prone to delays, errors, and high operational costs.

Cryptocurrency MLM platforms operate on decentralized networks powered by blockchain technology. Smart contracts — self-executing codes on the blockchain — automate critical processes such as:

Real-time commission calculations.

Instant payouts to participants’ digital wallets.

Referral tracking without manual intervention.

This automation reduces administrative burdens, eliminates human error, and allows businesses to scale efficiently.

3. Global Accessibility with Cryptocurrency Payments

Traditional MLMs are often limited by local banking systems and geographical barriers, making international participation cumbersome and costly. High transaction fees and currency conversion rates deter global users.

Cryptocurrency MLM platforms support borderless payments, allowing participants to pay fees and receive commissions in digital currencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or stablecoins. Benefits include:

Instant transactions without geographical restrictions.

Lower transaction fees compared to traditional banking systems.

Attracting a global audience by enabling easy access to the MLM platform.

4. Enhanced Security and Fraud Prevention

Centralized MLM systems are vulnerable to cyberattacks and data breaches, as they store sensitive user information in centralized databases.

Blockchain-powered MLM platforms offer enhanced security features, including:

Immutable transaction records that prevent tampering.

Digital wallets for secure fund storage and transfers.

Two-factor authentication (2FA) and encryption for added protection.

These robust security measures, integrated through crypto MLM software development, reduce the risks of fraud and hacking, ensuring a secure experience for participants.

5. Instant and Accurate Payouts

In traditional MLM platforms, commission payouts are often delayed due to manual calculations and banking processes. This can frustrate participants and lower their satisfaction with the platform.

Cryptocurrency MLM platforms resolve this issue by using smart contracts to automate and expedite payouts. As soon as a transaction or referral is completed, the smart contract calculates and transfers the commission instantly to the participant’s wallet.

Zero delays in receiving earnings.

Elimination of errors in commission calculations.

This efficiency enhances user satisfaction and encourages greater participation.

6. Cost-Effective Operations

Running a traditional MLM platform involves high operational costs, including staff, data management, and transaction processing fees. Cryptocurrency MLM platforms streamline operations by automating processes through blockchain technology, significantly reducing overheads.

No need for intermediaries or manual intervention.

Cost savings can be reinvested in improving platform features and expanding user incentives.

Lower costs make MLM platforms more competitive and appealing to participants.

7. Real-Time Analytics and Network Insights

Traditional MLM platforms may lack real-time tracking capabilities, preventing participants and administrators from accessing up-to-date insights into network growth and earnings.

Blockchain-powered MLM platforms provide real-time analytics, allowing users to:

Monitor earnings, referrals, and network expansion instantly.

Access performance reports and transaction histories.

Make data-driven decisions to optimize network strategies.

Administrators can also use these insights to improve platform performance and enhance user experience.

The Role of Crypto MLM Software Development

Developing a cryptocurrency MLM platform requires robust, secure, and scalable software solutions. Crypto MLM software development plays a crucial role in integrating blockchain technology, smart contracts, and cryptocurrency payments into MLM models. Key benefits include:
