Checking back here after a month or so, I've got a colleague doing cartoons every week or so for the past month, and today seeing this post reminds me. They're not exactly memes (or actually, not at all). The idea was more closely inspired by those cartoons you'd get in newspapers, or even in regular publications, single frame illustrations, usually with a political undertone on current events. Would they find a home on your site as well (sort of a repost?). It sure would be a great add up. Basically as there's incentive on people liking/curating and creating the most popular content, we want to let the community decide on which post should become popular and get rewarded. I believe these cartoons would find a home on it and who knows, this might become an artist platform instead of a "meme" platform. Thank you for dropping by and we would love to have him beta test our platform.  We aren't by the way against repost as it contributes to create something really popular. It's anyway all up to the community to decide not to vote on a post if it's too reposted. |

How many memes do you have so far? and how many people have helped/worked with you?
I liked this idea, some people who have high sense of humor and have out of the box thought will give memes to you without you having to pay.
I guess the lead-up he made memes or something that can make other people lough is the goal that he prioritizes.
We have quite a lot of memes on the platforms and already a few memelords We're 4 people working on it and 3 others helping us! We're pretty open to everything too You are right we think that this platform can curate the highest quality memes on the web and can become the funniest platform |

I like the idea! Any app coming soon?
Just a quick feedback, maybe add something like a meme ranking inside the app
Thanks, Yes we're releasing the app really soon, I'll keep you updated In the meanwhile we've made a discord that you can join if interested! : https://discord.gg/aXJ7WDrI just visited the site that you gave me and my opinion about your site is that the display on the home page is very striking in color, does not provide complete information and animations behind the scenes that are very disturbing. I think you can fix that.
Thanks andrearz for the feedback! We could for sure add more information! We'll fix that, and please join us on discord if you feel like you'd use this app one day  |

@Cryptarks
Okay, that's a pretty interesting way to try and overcome any problems with quality.
I'm curious on how it will work out over the long term.
Btw, your own Steem Power on Steemit isn't in direct correlation with how much you earn overall
Okay, you may have more influence on how much you can vote for your own posts, but you still rely heaviest on other people's upvotes (Steem power).
Having 'friends in high places' is the single most important thing on Steemit, which also enables collusion (bad side-effect).
I see, thanks for the info, It's now full of whales anyway. I see the logo crypto-games on your profile, did you create this platform? @The Real Angelo Santos Indeed design is important, If you have anything in mind please feel free to pm me. |

Now that's... something a bit new. Wasn't there a FB game back in the day, investing points in "hot pics"? I don't know, fun is fun but I still need to see for myself that this can work for tokenised models!
When users are able to earn money for just simply posting any sort of low-quality meme, that's basically what you get.
People don't put any effort in and they're happy with earning a couple of cents for posting and sort of crappy image they've found.
I'm not sure how you could overcome that :-/ Yep that's why we don't incentivize anyone, we incentivize posts that become famous and go to the hot page. Basically every new content goes to the fresh page. Then we have the "meme miners", the people looking at memes. These people looking and selecting the funniest memes upvote and invest on memes. As you invest, you are staking some tokens on the meme itself so you cannot randomly invest unless your very rich, and i'm not even sure this would be profitable. So we've made an algorithm that selects the best memes depending on the investments, comments, likes, time posted etc.. (It's still not quite perfect but it's improving) for the hot page. So while on steemit you get incentivized by how much SP and power you have, here on funnychain we made it so only people that contributed to hot posts get paid, so people curating the platform and posting great memes. So we think this will overcome that, and quality memes/content only will be on the hot page! |

Ok. But why to limit yourselves with memes? Let it be pictures, generally.
It actually can be any kind of content in the future, but we wanted to start by focusing on memes because it's fun and also is the easiest way to convey meaning. But if it works it could actually be applied to pretty much any content yep (news, articles or other). Thanks for your feedback kissnger! |

You see the problem with incentivised platforms is that people are in it for the gains, and then they find ways to game the system, and then eventually you get a whole load of content that's just fake, or of poor quality, just voted or rising to the top, because they're made by guys who want those incentives. You can see the difference between a hot/trending list on Steemit vs hot/trending on Reddit, for example. Vast difference.
Besides, people can tip meme creators on Reddit.
The ultimate reward, dare I say, for meme creators is viral fame. No different with Bitcoin memes. Indeed, but we can take the example of Youtube aswell. Early days their communication was more towards rewarding youtubeurs for their videos and incentivization helped quality content for them. From this emerged a whole community and it even created the Youtuber job too. I believe it's more about execution than the idea itself. From the day steemit founder went to EOS, there haven't been much updates ever since. Does it have something common with steemit? I post there a picture and the more people view and like it, the more I earn. Yes?
Yep it does look similar in a way, we even based our first version on steemit, but having 3 cryptos really made it hard to understand. And as whales messed up steem quite a lot, I didn't think it'd be a long term solution. So right now we plan on building this on top of Loom! But yes if the picture you posted gets famous and go to the hot page, you earn cryptos. And you can also invest on memes, if the meme you invested in goes to the hot page, you get cryptos too depending on how much you've invested. |

Good Project Dude! I like it how you've actually implemented it, unlike other ICO shit token schemes. At this point, your website does what it's supposed to on a surface level but you gotta add in more content like different categories, options to save memes and stuff. I couldn't find a meme editor app on the beta version of the website. Are you planning to add that?
Thanks for trying it and the proposed features! Really helps There actually is a meme editor app: When you go on post a meme, you have "Image" and "Create meme" The Create memes feature should work, tell me if it doesn't  We're working on the inside exchange right now to trade our token for ETH. |

Go to WO, ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.0) I'm sure you will see a lot of meme there.  . What's the algorithm though for selecting the best meme? I would say go for it dude, anything related to crypto will be a big boost no matter how big or small it is. Might take some time to gain support from this community, but it doesn't mean it's a bad idea. Give it time to mature and see how it goes for your "project". Thank you for your advices! I'll go to WO We have a custom algorithm that's emitting tokens per meme popularity (based on a customized reddit algorithm) that's allowing us to select the best memes If anyone can give us some feedback of the app itself it'd be awesome too |

People who are genuinely interested in “memes” will simply stick to Reddit/9Gag/w.e,
This is where we expect something different : while most of the memes today are on these platforms, you get absolutely nothing from it. We're creating a platform that pays them for their content & time so we are working towards making these people join us. Everything needs to start somewhere The business model is based on sponsored posts to reward our users, but from our side we take a % of the investments on memes and will have a premium subscription like 9gag. The idea here is to create a better and a fair rewarding platform based on memes, as the users are the one creating the platform thus getting incentivized. |

Thanks for your feedback! The difference is the incentives in cryptocurrency you get filtering only the best content. We're taking all the advertisement money on our platform and redistribute it to our users. So the main difference is that you get paid selecting the best contents on that image sharing platform. As all the shared images are gathering in the fresh page, the users can also invest on a content they think will become trending/hot, and if the content does go to the hot page, they get more incentives. What do you think? |

Hey guys We're building something fun with cryptos and memes, I'd like to hear your feedback about it How many meme reposts have you seen? As memes quantity are increasing, quality is decreasing too. So we've built funnychain.co, the best quality memes on the web backed up by cryptocurrencies incentives. On the platform, as every memes are gathering in the fresh page, people get paid by finding the funniest memes. Everytime a meme is deemed to be popular from our decentralized algorithm, Funnychain is paying both the meme creators and the meme curators in cryptocurrency. Basically it's like mining in the fresh memes that are the funniest What do you guys think of it? |

The volatility - People need to do things like sleep, cryptos can experience corrections while you are sleeping, this forces one to automate trading or simply deal with the ramifications; further, most people are bad traders and do not benefit from the constant volatility
