Quad City, which includes five cities and extends to the Iowa-Illinois border, allows people to get news from Quad Cities Times, Dispatch Argus (common ownership with Quad Cities Times), WQAD (local ABC affiliate), KWQC (local NBC Affiliate) and WVIK (local NBC Affiliate).
However, Facebook’s Quad-City Times has 76,000 followers, while Harold Defrieze’s Facebook Group has 106,000.
This suggests that many people’s initial involvement with news in this community comes from Facebook groups, not from newspapers or news programs.
Together with Ryan Segura, co-founder of Dig-a-Hash, Defrieze has founded a new website for QC (sometimes called what’s going on in Quad City), which grew out of the Facebook group.

Dig-a-Hash describes himself as “a distributed application specialized in dynamic NFT metadata (DAPP).”
“We also offer unique freelance web development from our design studio, combining it with budget-friendly web hosting.”
According to his LinkedIn, Segura, the technical director of what’s going on in QC, is known for BlockChains, Inc. He has previous experience in the crypto industry after serving as a “Senior Backend Web 3 Developer”. Blockchain Smart City in the Nevada Desert.
According to LinkedIn, another executive at Dig-a-hash, Joshua Dedecker has little experience in cryptocurrency and is focused on real estate.
He described Dig-a-hash as a company “focusing on solving challenges in real estate operations and real estate management,” and “building industry solutions with archaic processes by leveraging emerging technologies to rebuild previously defined status QUOs.”
However, in an interview with Protos, Segura said he believes the technology has applications in many industries. Currently, they are not functioning significantly on real estate and instead focuses more on the capabilities that NFTs are used in web development.

As a fundamental part of the infrastructure, what is happening with the purpose of QC using artificial intelligence (AI) along with impossible tokens (NFTs).
Segura told Protos that it uses artificial intelligence across a wide range of its websites. Used to modify grammar and spelling and generate cover images, It is also used to assist in verifying claimsSegura points out that “robots can go outside and do deep web searches.”
AI is also important for smart contract development, and Segura notes that the technology has become the “Solidity Star,” the main coding language used for chains using Ethereum virtual machines.
The use of this artificial intelligence has not been pointed out on the website, but it is explained in a previous interview with the Quad City Times given by Segura and Defreeze.
What’s also not mentioned anywhere on the website is the fact that every post posted also has NFTs in the Polygon Layer-2 network.

However, based on the Customer Case Study section of the Dig-a-Hash website, there is a thorough review of what is happening in Quad Cities, saying “We created NFT as a building block.” Additionally, it should be noted that Dog Plex, a Defrieze business, also uses NFT. Specifically, it is “Symbolizes a dog in NFT format.”
Additionally, Segura demonstrated how to create each entry in Protos, and while adding an entry for “Putnam Giant Screen” we discussed the various attributes that can be added and updated later.
All these NFTs associated with what’s happening in QC were forwarded to a single address, 0x18582F2CA048AC5F22E5A64F92E8A7D7B1F806A4.
Why NFTS?
Perhaps the biggest question left when reviewing what’s going on in QC is “Why NFTS?”
The token is not currently being used for fundraising and is not mentioned on the website, and Dig-a-hash specifically mentions how the tool allows the tool to update the metadata for NFTs. In other words, these projects do not rely on the relative invariance of the blockchain, except for the index at which this particular object was created.
Furthermore, Segura said there is There are no immediate plans to use NFTs for fundraisingwho states that someone couldn’t understand why they wanted to buy one of them.
In an interview with Protos, Segura believes that storing these objects in Polygon is cheaper than running an individual Amazon Web Services (AWS) database, and that doing this will help keep hosting costs low.
He said the advantage that these articles are polygonal NFTs is that “we can create hundreds of records of 25 cents there until the blockchain dies.”
This is a very attractive offer for the web hosting they provide, even what he described as part of the polygonal limitations, including relative slowness.
Furthermore, Segura noted that the actual metadata for these NFTs is not stored on-chain, but in S3.
Whether or not this low cost remains for storing these NFTs in polygons depends on the relative demands of the polygons. “Employment” is one of the biggest problems Crypto has left to solve..
He also said he believes that most of the chains, including Ethereum, are at high prices.
