BANANO Social Media Recap May 2019

May 2, 2019 • 6 min read

Here’s the May issue of BANANO’s monthly social media recap! The BANANO community is growing strongly on all platforms and got lots of attention in the past month. This was mainly due to our spectacular release of the new BANANO Miner Faucet based on Folding@Home, enabling everyone to contribute to medical research while earning BANANO, and the introduction of a new BANANO TipBot for both Telegram and Twitter. The celebration of Easter with an Easter Egg Hunt event going through all our channels also was a great success.

This recap was made for you to catch up and keep the overview about new BANANO channels and their development, and remind our awesome community to engage in all channels as much as possible, to spread the word about BANANO, and especially to help new users to have an easy and smooth start when they discover BANANO for the first time. Of note, we’re doing regular giveaways and small airdrops in all our social channels!

What Happened in April? A Short Recap

The all-new BANANO Miner Faucet using the Folding@Home platform is already a huge success! Here, you can contribute to medical research while earning BANANO! The BANANO Miner has only been running for 3 weeks, but Team BANANO is impressively climbing all-time rankings (currently rank 36 of 228568 total teams!) and leading the monthly team highscores! Join us now and start folding at bananominer.com if you didn’t yet!

BANANO has now a new Tipbot for both Twitter and Telegram, which helps a lot to spread the word and demonstrate how easy-to-use BANANO really is. Read more details in this article.

If the few weeks the BANANO Tipbot is online, at total of almost 300k BANANO with a value of more than 400 USD was sent in more than 6700 transactions:

Also, BANANO was recently listed by three new Asian exchanges, which has led to considerably higher BANANO daily trading volumes: Citex, QBTC and Bitmesh. An overview about all current exchanges and trading pairs can be found here at Coingecko. New to crypto trading? Help getting started can be found here. Of note, mentioning exchanges doesn’t mean any official endorsement, please do your own research and be mindful when trading. And most importantly, never store funds on exchanges unless you actually plan to trade!

And another quick note: BANANO websites including monkeytalks.cc and bananominer.com are now Brave verified publishers, meaning you can support BANANO development with BAT tips if you like :)

We’ll still keep publishing all major updates in our blog at Medium, but to be even more visible for new potential community members we will publish all major and also most minor updates also in our Publish0x blog.
