Do you think Voice on EOS can be the successor of STEEM?
I think Steem - maybe aren't dying but aren't developing fast enough for sure and I don't see too much reason to hope that it will change
Anyway I hope for some speculative gains on STEEM in next few weeks
I'm not too sure about that, I mean who would want to go through KYC, just in order to get access to their service? Plus, Dan Larimer has a reputation of being able to hype up his projects very extensively, but usually only to leave them afterwards. Now, the situation with EOS might be different, but I wouldn't bet any money on it to succeed just yet. |

Really great initiative, it truly shows the power of the Bitcoin community when it comes to making social change possible.
One thing though regarding the OP, might be better if you had resized those images, no-one want to scroll for 5 minutes to get to the bottom of the thread.
Other than that, great work!

You know I don't understand this. Why do you plagiarize when you obviously speak English well enough to convey your thoughts accurately on this forum? I'm not going to give you advice on how to evade your ban, but you seem like the type of person who'd actually be able to contribute if you just took an honest approach. Idk, maybe I just have a soft spot for people who at least use correct English & punctuation  |

You're all forgetting about one important thing:
Adsense doesn't pay out in Bitcoin.
I mean, sure, the other reasons mentioned here would probably just prevent Theymos from implementing Adsense on this forum (at least on many boards).
But the fact that he can now auction ad-space in exchange for Bitcoin is really what this forum is all about.
This is the first crypto community where goods and services were ever exchanged for Bitcoin, I think it's only right that the forum also gets its revenue in Bitcoin.
At least, I hope that this also influences Theymos his reasoning. It would be nice to know that there's a little bit of ideology left in the forum.

Thanks, guys. We will take your suggestions. And people in telegram group, they are helping us test our website and app. We just want to know how to make things work in the correct way.
So, you're just going to ignore everything that was said and give a non-answer like that. Look at @slow death's post and provide an answer for each point he has brought up. Also, what about the points I have raised? How did you get those Telegram members in your group? Will you do something about the obviously bad wording in your public blog posts? Really, if you ever launch your exchange, I'll be sure to honestly review it and bring up every point mentioned here. It just reeks of potential scam to me or at least incompetent management. |

I remember reading a year ago about LBRY, has anyone here uploaded anything there? I haven't bothered with the site and only traded their coin but I'm considering alternatives to Youtube.
Sorry for the late reply, but yes there have been a number of prominent Youtube creators who've backed up their entire Youtube back-catalog on LBRY. Just some examples: Jordan Peterson (2,073,327 subscribers -on Youtube- ) => https://beta.lbry.tv/@JordanBPeterson/c5724e280283cd985186af9a62494aae377daabdVeritasium (5,918,886 subscribers) => https://beta.lbry.tv/@veritasium/fb364ef587872515f545a5b4b3182b58073f230fTimcast (421,656 subscribers) => https://beta.lbry.tv/@timcast/c9da929d12afe6066acc89eb044b552f0d63782aGavin McInnes (334,607 subscribers) => https://beta.lbry.tv/@theGavin2000/964c0e89e04bd31a3d876537f9aeef83d47ebb91The Linux Gamer (44,002 subscribers) => https://beta.lbry.tv/@TheLinuxGamer/feb61536c007cdf4faeeaab4876cb397feaf6b51Vegan Gains (345,627 subscribers) => https://beta.lbry.tv/@VeganGains/1efa9b640ad980b2ec53834d60e9cff9554979cdEli The Comuter Guy (947,097 subscribers) => https://beta.lbry.tv/@EliTheComputerGuy/8914f8e31ae94b9d9c2011b10b43d72283beae4fCryptoCandor (18,878 subscribers) => https://beta.lbry.tv/@CryptoCandor/9152f3b054f692076a6882d1b58a30e8781cc8e6Brian Lunduke (64,769 subscribers) => https://beta.lbry.tv/@Lunduke/e8f68563d242f6ac9784dcbc41dd86c28a9391d6Bitcoin and Friends (19,747 subscribers) => https://beta.lbry.tv/@bitcoinandfriends/a403ce7eff82b75a530dffd211ddc69847be4425I'm sure there are at least a couple of names you recognize. I haven't made a full list, there are many more. This just shows that it's not impossible for a decentralized platform to draw in big content creators. |

Is there any way to view the edit history of that page? Now I'm curious what changes have been made. There's an archived version from February 17th available here: https://archive.is/BkOJvAs you say, the pay rate back then was 0.001 BTC per 10 posts for Heroes and Legendaries, so 1000 posts a week to max out. The actual changes seem to be limiting the sections which users can post in and adding a bunch of extra bonus rewards. They also increased the minimum character count from 20 to 25, presumably to help cut down on spam.  Even back then, however, it still contains the obvious lies about not paying for spam and removing spammers from the campaign. Bingo, I'm just happy that I did indeed remember correctly. Thanks for providing the archived version, bookmarking that website for future use! Now that Stunna has replied, this is pointless, but those changes made matters even worse indeed. |

This had been discussed a few times and with the evolving technology, it would not be a surprise if the forum comes up with its own tokens.
The merit system could be made decentralized, not exactly as such but a complex rewarding system. It could further make it easier to manage the merits. As long as the trust system works and the account data managed by the administrator, there would be no abuse of it.
Well it has been discussed before, but AFAIK Theymos decided against it. You should still be able to find the thread in the Meta boards, but I can't seem to find it myself |

In my opinion, this is just wishful thinking op. The reason why so many people including me prefer centralized exchanges over decentralized platforms despite the hacks and scams over the years is due to the ease of usage and regulatory authority which is somewhat comforting.
Why would anyone actually want a centralised exchange if there's another option? You're willing to risk the total loss of your coins for 'ease of use'? Something in wallet and on chain will be effectively instant and foolproof. And you don't have to send photos of your username written on your penis to anonymous strangers if they decide to deprive your of your own money because their piece of shit software triggered something. Because they're lazy and gullible, they'd rather trust advertising and keep using what they're used to, than to try out something different and new. I mean, I don't actually agree with @Haunebu, since there will be a point in time when it will be far easier to use atomic swaps than centralized exchanges. I just think that centralized exchanges will try anything to keep their customers there and they will in part succeed probably. Just because a lot of people won't know any better. |

I've done this a couple of times as well, just because there are so many similar threads and sometimes I just want to chime in again.
Now, what I usually do is just mention that I've already said something similar in another thread.
Of course I'll never say exactly the same thing, but sometimes the general gist of it is the same.
Just be honest and add that you've already replied similarly in another thread and perhaps link the thread as well in your reply, since OP of the new thread might find the other thread useful as well.
Or you can quote your post of the first thread in the reply of the second thread and thus the people will read your point of view without even clicking on the link of the first thread. That's also an option, though usually the thread isn't entirely similar, so it's best to completely tailor your answer. In cases where it's similar enough it might be the better option to just quote it, yeah. If it's something that been discussed many times, I usually give list with similar threads. Like anything involving Bitcoin mining and the impact on the environment gets a list with similar threads from me. Just too many of those threads in Bitcoin Discussion |

There is only one reasons why Bitcoin/cryptocurrency gambling is a HIT
No one knows you (Anonymous account/transaction)
It is hard for anyone to trace you with you Public wallet address and determine your transaction. Although KYC is a must now days in certain countries but, how they (government) will determine it is an online casino Public wallet address that you are sending your Bitcoins.
There are few more reasons - like lots of Giveaways (what I have been getting from Stake.com) and bonus. Faster deposit and withdrawal and awesome support. These are some of the things that make Gambling more pleasant and fun.
Nope.You are not anonymous with crypto gambling. Anyway,I like long articles copy pasted from somewhere that tell me what I already know about cryptocurrencies and gambling. Thank you,OP.  You can definitely gamble anonymously with cryptocurrency, ever heard of Zcash or Monero? If you can get it with an OTC trade, those coins can't be traced back to you if you're doing it right. Besides, even partial anonymity would already be good enough for most people. Just get your coins from any exchange that doesn't require KYC. |

I still use steemit although it sucks nowadays with the numerous ads. I also recommend publishox and golos. Golos app is great, give it a try. By the way, steemit is not dead, things just got messy with the platform.
Don't you use an adblocker? Why would anyone browse the internet without using an adblocker? Just checked how Steemit.com looks without one and yeah, it's quite terrible. Should really mention that to the core team, because those ads are indeed terribly obnoxious! A few months ago Steam it laid off 70% of their employees as the company is struggling to meet their financial goals. We all know its dead. Is there any better alternative? And do you think such alternatives can survive?
Actually I have registered in steemit since last year but I stop opening it since I don't know what's the future of the site. There are many alternatives like doing freelance jobs or investing in real estate. Uhm what? You talk about freelance jobs and investing, but that's not what Steem is about. It's about blogging in the first place and you can still run a successful blog on Steem. Heck, I'm currently earning a decent living by doing just that.
I don't mind it when people criticize Steemit, but at least write more than 1 sentence. Now it just looks like you're trying to increase your post count. Have some discussion at least... |

No doubt the 50 smerits isn't enough that's why I developed a strategy myself after finishing my source merits in less than 3 weeks after I was appointed a source too. That you're made a source to you local board doesn't mean you should go around meriting every post you see, set a daily limit and also set some high standards. There's a reason we all were given 50 merits to start with, you have to prove you're capable of managing the little you have for more to be given. Also try to earn more individual merits and make use of them wisely.
It's too soon to complain, you might be sending the wrong message, learn to manage the little you have if not you might misuse the large allocations when it do come.
I kinda agree with what you've said here, it's all about managing your source smerits. For the record, I've mentioned this earlier, I only have 10 smerits per month from my source and in the end I do actually manage just fine. Now, I personally don't really hold posts to a higher standard because of the low amount of source smerits that I receive. When I see a post that I like, I give it some merit, simple as that. When my merit is gone, it's gone. If I see a great post when I don't have any left, I bookmark it (as mentioned before in this thread). No need to create some additional ivory tower in my opinion, I also want the regular non-spamming members to get a chance. Not looking for them to write whole essays  |

Yeah that's another red flag, it's not hard to just purchase members for your Telegram group. Idk, I'm always very wary of projects like these where OP comes in with very little information and spotty English. Not saying that non-English-speakers can't build a decent service, but I'm of the opinion that they should hire someone to communicate to the public. Especially when they're publishing announcement blogs. But hey, that's just my personal opinion. OP, I know it seems as though I'm just being way too negative, but these are important issues IMO. It's best that someone tells you honestly how your future service is perceived, instead of just throwing compliments your way. |

I think they did change their rates, they first had their rates in Bitcoin didn't they?
But yeah, the point is still the same, it's pretty much impossible to achieve the max. payout without spamming. Yeah, according to their thread, their current rates for Heroes and Legendaries is $3 per 10 posts, with a max of 0.1 BTC weekly: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5110093.0. As QS says, to hit maximum you would need 2667 posts. For a standard full time job of 40 hours a week, this means a post every 54 seconds for 40 hours. Even someone was posting for 14 hours a day, 7 days a week, they would still have to post every 2 minutes 12 seconds. These numbers are utterly ridiculous. To suggest a user is able to open a thread, read the OP, read the replies, formulate and type a worthwhile and non-spammy reply (or preferably don't, if they have nothing constructive to add), and move on to the next thread, all in 2 minutes, let alone in less than 1 minute, is preposterous. To somehow claim that this isn't encouraging spam is equally preposterous. Oh I know, at the current rates those calculations are correct, I just thought they had a slightly higher rate when they first launched their campaign. I definitely remember their rate per 10 posts was also denominated in Bitcoin. Is there any way to view the edit history of that page? Now I'm curious what changes have been made. Waybackmachine hasn't saved it & Google cache has the most recent edit as well. |

A while ago, I was actually thinking about joining their campaign as some sort of experiment, back when they still paid a maximum of 0.1 BTC per week (if I remember correctly).
Just to see if I could actually manage to make those 1000 posts required to get the max amount. Not sure if it was a 1000 exactly, but that's the number I vaguely remember.
Not by shitposting my way to 1000 mind you.
They are paying $0.3 per post for legendary members, and bitcoin is trading at roughly $8000/btc. In order to get 0.1 BTC you would need to make about 2667 posts. This would be basically a full time job. I think they did change their rates, they first had their rates in Bitcoin didn't they? But yeah, the point is still the same, it's pretty much impossible to achieve the max. payout without spamming. Don't think I could even manage to do 100 posts in a week, I'd go crazy if I had to write +1000 posts in a week; |

I'd like to dispel the myth that Steemit is dead, it has made some huge improvements the past couple of months and still has a pretty active community. Their recent release of Mira has significantly reduced the cost of running nodes, which also means that Steemit Inc. has to spend far less to keep their operation running. https://steemit.com/marketing/@steemitblog/mira-public-releaseThen there's a newly released platform on Steemit called 3speak, which is an alternative for Youtube, and IMO is far better than Dtube ever was. They've gotten some pretty big content creators already, who were de-platformed from Youtube and Twitter. |

That ideology is still there for quite a number of people, but you have to keep in mind that we wouldn't be seeing such a surge in adoption if that were the only people in this community.
When I look at my friend circle, I've noticed that just about anyone could get interested in cryptocurrency for a variety of reasons.
Some of them are regular people, holding regular jobs, while some of them are web-developers, who I wouldn't describe as cypherpunks to say the least.
Before you ask, not all of them are interested because of the investment aspect. Some of them do actually use it for its utility, to send money abroad or buy services.
