My view about cryptocurrency generally still remains very positive. These currency made a way for interaction of anyone, irrespective of social class, status or monetary value. Apart from interaction in any form. This is one of the first financial system were users are given absolute privacy to their assets. It's so amazing to know that anyone can be able to get engaged into this. Including smokers.

INTRODUCING THE DECENTRALIZED CANNABIS NETWORK

![download (3).jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbXnAf5E6j1CnSKV42W2wEqkWcfW3bNSHW2X6Wng34uiG/download%20(3).jpeg) Around the world many are skeptical about anything regarding to smoking or cannabis in general. Some people regard smoking as a character, a bad one, irresponsible traits among individuals or families. Although smoking is legalized to some extent depending on the substance and age limit. *Smoke network* has come to unite smokers around different part of the world. Smoke network reward users with smoke (cryptocurrency) who participate in the incentive community. Thus merging and forming a great cannabis (marijuana ) community, users with different idea working together. users can register for smoke account through https://smoke.io/ ***IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT SMOKE NETWORK IS ACTUALLY A FORK OF STEEMIT***

BENEFITS TO EARLY USERS ON SMOKE NETWORK

* ICO PARTICPANTS : Early users on any platform are usually the greatest, once the platform is popular. People tend to neglect the early stage in cryptocurrency which is actually the greatest. It is a common practice in the industry to distribute coins through the process of initial coin offering (generally called ico). Smoke ico began April 2018 users bought many smoke at a cheap rate. Just like steemit, were higher voting Power determines more payout. Ico participants are now at advantage because of higher voting Power for participating in ico.

As every Airdrop aims to promote the project and thus affect supply and price. During the Airdrop period a million coin was allocated. Airdrop participant are to recieve their smoke now in December 2018 (***source from telegram group***) due to market situation and price control. ![PhotoGrid_1539772579608.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmX765MrTNzhcAZEP4x36qVfYzvYTykeJe1NsnatU3idqj/PhotoGrid_1539772579608.jpg) ***note ico and airdrop has ended, ico can now be claimed airdrop distribution still in process***

TESTNET ANALYSIS

Smoke test net was launched April, as the name implies the test net was to ensure interested users have a good experience with the mainnet. The testnet had same feature or similar with mainnet apart from the fact that users do not receive liquid smoke or in other words any reward. ![images (2).jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZxDMNUvxFX4kDFaRb8m2nCaNcqcjs1GvMLFT7bGBbc6C/images%20(2).jpeg)

although the test net was a really great idea by the smoke team which was created for relationship of smoke users before the actual launch. In the world today everyone one wants a form of reward in any form maybe not monetary the test net didn't reward users with any smoke. Therefore was also time consuming.
The test net was successful and faithful users got to know each other better this was a nice initiative by smoke. Smokers (smoke network users) were not discouraged on using the test net considering it may develop the cannabis community and also get them to know smokers more. The main reason also being that the a mainnet was coming soon.

MAINNET NOW LAUNCHED SUCCESSFULLY

Smoke network mainnet launched September (last month). This marks the beginning of the growing cannabis community. The mainnet is more user friendly. As earlier stated this network is a fork of steemit.com. Users who are familiar with steemit find it easier to navigate and walk their way through ***note that cannabis content for post to promote the vision of smoke network*** ![PhotoGrid_1539813654941.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSbPfekN2iprwyAmjAAvL9tsb9wa3eaETr5RpsWVQJWko/PhotoGrid_1539813654941.jpg) Users can earn smoke through the following ways * posting high quality cannabis content * curative reward * upvotes * buying or trading of smoke * transfer from users * participating in contest

COMPARISON WITH THE PARENT OF THE PARENT COIN

Basically hard fork are usually because of some improvement or probably a little deviation with almost similar design or usage. As highlighted earlier the use of smoke network is for promoting cannabis in the crypto world. Thus spreading to the general world. ![PhotoGrid_1540036904924.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRgFm3VSdPMmiYnrefUQQSSJjxAqsccc8T2JtSNoX2rTY/PhotoGrid_1540036904924.jpg)
steemit its parent made use of marketing regulations policy such as. * use of phone number verification to control multiple account opening * email verification confirmation also * Payout is 50 %, Steem power which determines payout basically (except for posting for 100 % power.) * Steem power took 13 weeks to covert to liquid Steem ***Relating Steemit with its child (smoke network)*** * Smoke network payout are in smoke power for now which is same as (Steem power on its parent side) which is also a strategy to control price * Users who participated in ico have higher voting Power as earlier said * only cannabis content are allowed

FINALLY

it's my believe that smoke aims for the best in the cannabis community. My personal experience with smoke network has been awesome(some pictures shown below). I have experienced all smoke network promised. And it was amazing I hope to see smoke price moon soon they have an incredible strategy. ![PhotoGrid_1540143106853.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeT17JY4avv39f1iw77SiLhKX1tVnBKqPMoXmYg4mZmyd/PhotoGrid_1540143106853.jpg) With this review of the smoke network you would agree with me that smoke network is much more than a network but a community and a family we all should work towards it.
