Back from travelling, what's the latest news?

[Seoulite]

Hi guys I've just got back from travelling in the UK for a couple of weeks so I wasn't following the forum or much crypto news (outside of periodically checking prices) for that time. What's the latest news on Flare and Songbird?

Given the timeline we had before I went away, we should be looking at a Songbird launch in the next week or two, right? Have there been any more announcements on that?

I also notice there was some thing about Flare being a partner or something or the 888 NFT platform thing had some news but I didn't look into it much. Anything important there or just announcement fluff?

Anyway prices are starting to recover across the board and we still have launches to look forward to. My 'momentum' with the space  has died down so I need to rev back up, especially going into these launches. 

Just checking in, if there's nothing new then there's nothing new and we are still just waiting.

The announcement was made on the 21st and “about 6 weeks” was mentioned, which would put it at 3 weeks from today … so the end of the month, at the earliest I would say. 

New partnership between Global Esports Federation and Flare announced, then another between 888TNW and GEF.

Other than that, we’re still asking the question of all exchanges - who’ll be distributing the SGB token. Currently there’s 3, possibly 4, we’re hoping this grows significantly in the coming weeks.

Basically no news on the Flare front.

Come to think of it, it's been so dead, Mickey and Patty have been shilling Polkadot lately. I've gone the other way and have been shilling Terra (LUNA). Strange times.

Yeah I haven't been following their youtube closely but I noticed they were talking about DOT and I was like huh? I'm guessing their community was not too pleased with that at first.

I think they needed content. Flare has been radio silent since they announced Songbird. This isn't a winner take all game, I'm happy to learn about DOT.

Have you guys read Twitter from Binance US yesterday? What is the good news? So they will list SPARK soon or they will accept the airdrop of the token? Unlikely because the deadline of claiming the token is June. And if they have already agreed to accept the airdrop wouldn’t they naturally have agreed to list the token?

Sure I'm not complaining, I just imagine many of their viewers were a bit salty at first. You know what crypto teams are like.

Also it makes sense as a sideways move to educate about DOT because it is going to have a similar setup in Flare. 

Re: radio silence -- presumably they will just come out with 'Songbird coming in a few days' suddenly and then it will be all go again.

I don't know exactly, I glanced at it and I think it is something to do with the distinction between Binance and Binance US. I think for non-Binance users it doesn't mean anything.

This is very likely to be the case. The price of FLR didn’t surge…at all.

I think their original plan was to simply transfer to the customers' Flare Network accounts their portion of the received airdrop allocation, and then wait and see if they'd offer a market for FLR at some future date.
