Launch of Sonato Alliance Transforms Reciprocity for Private Member’s Clubs

Leave a comment

The world’s best independent social clubs form an alliance that unlocks global access for their members

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 31, 2022 — Today, Sonato® announced the launch of Sonato Alliance, the rapidly-growing invitation-only network of the world’s best independent private social clubs. Offering members the opportunity to connect with other creators, innovators and visionaries, Sonato Alliance gives members seamless access to partner clubs as distinctive as their own when traveling the globe.

Sonato Alliance epitomizes Hospitality Simplified ℠ with straightforward, elegant software that fades into the background of the genuine human interactions that it helps facilitate. The Alliance platform is a powerful ecosystem sitting outside of a club’s existing technology stack, obviating tedious integrations and enabling clubs to focus on the business of building relationships with their members and guests.

Michael Birch, Sonato’s founder, is also co-founder of The Battery with his wife Xochi, a modern private members club in San Francisco. Sonato was born out of Michael’s frustration with the archaic experience of utilizing traditional reciprocity and concerns about the member experience at his own club. "The existing process for requesting a club visit relies on email, telephone—and in some cases fax—all of which represent a significant risk of disappointing the member. Our members compare the club experience not with their last visit to a hotel or restaurant, but to their experience with their iPhone or their Tesla, and expect the same seamless experience from their club," said Birch. "We knew we could improve the experience and do so in ways that would create value for clubs while delighting members."

With the explosion of growth in independent members clubs, Sonato Alliance is at the epicenter of connecting clubs and their members globally. As people emerge from a post-pandemic life, independent private social clubs are often the first place members go to socialize. They offer more than just hospitality; they offer a culture of shared experience and a community which brings members back and keeps people connected. 

How Sonato Alliance Works: 

  • Sonato Alliance upgrades a club’s existing reciprocal network and offers the opportunity to expand to new partners
  • Members gain access to a co-branded mobile app to book visits to partner clubs
  • Clubs use a web app for managing inbound visits and member check-in
  • Moving club booking from email and phone to a real-time booking platform gives members and clubs alike an elevated experience
  • It saves time and streamlines visits for members who are often on the move, adding an additional layer of transparency to club offerings and community

Sonato Alliance has more than 35 founding members representing some of the world’s best independent clubs including The Battery, Kjarval, The Quorum, 1880, Fitler Club, Pershing, Park House and The Britely, to name a few. It is projected that over 45 clubs and 100,000 members will utilize this system by mid-2022.

Clubs wishing to request an invitation to Sonato Alliance may do so through their website.

About Sonato Alliance
Sonato Alliance is the newest, fastest growing invitation-only network of the world’s best independent private social clubs. Offering members the opportunity to connect with other creators, innovators and visionaries, Sonato Alliance gives members seamless access to partner clubs as distinctive as their own when traveling the globe.

Kfir plays a mixture of cover music and original music on his social media channels. He maintains a strong connection with his fans by sharing his performance experiences, personal transition to producing music, and showcasing his unique guitar collection.

‘Non Fungible Penny’ A New Gold Penny of Henry III*

Leave a comment

SINGAPORE, Jan. 22, 2022 — Metaverse Blockchain Fusion NFT™ company, Coinllectibles™, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cosmos Group Holdings, Inc. (OTC: COSG) is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Spink to offer the First Ever Collectible NFT Coin to be offered by an international auction house. This will also be the first NFT ever issued by Spink, a renowned collectors’ auction house dating back to 1600s.

Like the yellow petals of the broom plant adorning the cap of the Plantagenets, the powerful immutability of this almost pure gold coin has remained untarnished and unexposed for centuries. That was until a chance signal on Sunday 26 September 2021 rediscovered its beauty, a beauty that has caused a viral media sensation across the globe in the days prior to auction at Spink.

About the ‘Non Fungible Penny’

This specially commissioned virtual moving graphic, to be minted into a similarly immutable Hybrid NFT™, commemorates that unique moment, as the Hemyock soil is finally removed after 765 years to unearth the most important single coin find made in Britain for over a decade, and the first time a new coin of this type has been placed in the archaeological record for almost 260 years. Where once the coin fell from the pocket of Lord of the Manor John de Hidon, it lands in all its beauty not just in our hands but our combined consciousness. And why would our embattled and emboldened King Henry, enthroned for centuries not wish to give us a cheery wink as he is once more exposed to the world?

*In 1257 King Henry III of England launched a gold coinage. It was not a success and only seven of the coins are known to have survived, that is until September 2021 when an eighth was discovered by a metal detector in a field at Hemyock in Devon. It is the image of this eighth coin that is the subject of the present auction. Henry’s coinage was the first minted in gold since the Norman Conquest, all the Norman and Angevin kings having confined themselves to minting silver pennies. A series of questions naturally arise. Why did Henry mint his coinage? Where did the gold come from? Why did the coin have a unique design? How many coins were minted, and what happened to them? Why did the enterprise fail? Fortunately, the source material allows at least some answer to these questions. It also permits a suggestion as to how one of the coins ended up at Hemyock. 

Read the full story here: 
https://d3ums4016ncdkp.cloudfront.net/auction/catalogue/22104/22104.pdf  (lot 220 that precedes sale of NFT lot 221)

How to bid for the ‘Non Fungible Penny’ on Coinllectibles’ MetaMall

The h-NFT (Hybrid NFT™) contains the ownership title to the private and commercial licences described therein with respect to the video Mp4 4k UHD file. Proceeds from the auction will be split over charities chosen by the vendor and Spink, specifically The Rodney Cook Memorial Fund and the Himal Foundation. 

To bid for the h-NFT, please visit Coinllectibles’ MetaMall, click on the project details and transfer your bids to the digital auction wallet. The details of the digital auction wallet will be made available at 7.00am UTC on http://www.coinllectibles.art/.

Bidders can bid for the h-NFT in either Binance Coin (BNB) or Colligo Tokens (COTK). A bid is considered when someone transfers BNB/COTK to the digital auction wallet and each bidder will be recognised by the unique digital wallet address. To illustrate, if Bidder A makes a bid for 2,000,000 COTK while Bidder B holds 2 wallets and makes bids at 1,600,000 COTK and 1,700,000 COTK respectively, Bidder A will be deemed the winner. While Bidder B made a total bid amounting to 3,300,000 COTK, they are deemed to be separate bidders due to the different wallet addresses.  

There is no limit to the number of bids and/or counterbids each wallet can make. 

To reconcile the different digital currencies, the conversion rates at 5.15pm UTC will be taken.  For the avoidance of doubt the winning bid on the Coinllectibles platform will be integrated in the Spink live auction, minus the 20% buyers’ premium charged by Spink, so all bidders are treated pari passu, and the Coinllectibles winner does not pay more than original bid.

If, in the live auction, no bids exceed the Coinllectibles winning bid, then the NFT will be transferred to the Coinllectibles highest bidder.

If, in the live auction, the winning bid is above the Coinllectibles winning bid (minus the 20% Buyers premium), then the NFT will be transferred to the live auction highest bidder.  Once the winner is announced, the h-NFT will be transferred to the auction winner while the rest of the tokens will be refunded.

Starting price for the h-NFT is GBP5 (USD6.70 or COTK2900, based on current exchange rates). and the auction will close at 5:15pm UTC on Sunday 23 January 2022.

New selection criteria bring diversity to the awards; pan-knowledge content creators surge on Bilibili

SHANGHAI, Jan. 22, 2022 — Bilibili hosted the "BILIBILI POWER UP 2021" Top 100 Content Creators Award Ceremony virtually on Jan 21, 2022, to celebrate and award the outstanding achievements of leading content creators in various categories.

Bilibili introduced the new criteria for the awards selection this year: professionality, influence, and innovation. Awarded Uploaders exemplify these dimensions in many ways. Some Uploaders, who are experts in their professional realms, actively share their knowledge through videos.
