Hello bitcointalk!

This is going to be a low-key announcement for this project we've been working on. We are yet to launch but the alpha version should come online in the coming weeks.

TokenBB is a Wordpress plugin that will allow anyone to launch their own forum and incentivize people to participate with upvotes on the top posts and comments. The obvious choice was the Steem blockchain since its incredibly easy to develop on top of it, has zero-fee, instant transactions and plenty of space to scale with the latest update and the coming hardfork (HF20).

Some people may complain about the initial distribution of token on the Steem blockchain but for us, those concerns are non-issues. We don't see much problem with it since the release date of SMT (smart media tokens) as been announced to be in January 2019. We plan on doing an airdrop of our token and make it as fair as possible for people to participate. We also want to open the possibility for people to have their own token as the base of their own forum down the line...

The alpha version will be available on our website only for a while (Tokenbb.io) and may have people install it through invitation only. That way we can work out the kinks and bugs while we work on the beta version that will be publicly available and open-source by the end of the year.

In the beta version we will allow for:

- Forum owners to earn a % of all the rewards generated on their forum
- Moderate your forum like you would on a normal forum platform
- Create sticky post
- Upvote/Comment (with rewards)

Feel free to drop your suggestions on this post on Steemit. We will upvote generously the best suggestions.


I'm here to answer your questions if you have any.

PS: If you want, you can sign-up to our email list on our website: tokenbb.io. We'll send you an email as soon as alpha is ready.

How do you plan to influence the price of your tokens? The steemit has certain problems with this, because the emission is not limited and even specially made very inflationary. I understand the purpose for which this was done, but it makes no sense to repeat the business model. We need to develop something completely new.

Thank you for the reply crazyer1976.

Much of the information regarding the Steem token high inflation rate comes from before December 2016. As stated in their bluepaper:

Quote
The rate that new tokens are generated was set to 9.5% per year starting in December 2016, and decreases at a rate of 0.01% every 250,000 blocks, or about 0.5% per year. The inflation will continue decreasing at this rate until it reaches 0.95%, after a period of approximately 20.5 years.

But for us, its not much of a concern since we can set the parameters that we want on our own token.(supply, inflation rate, etc.)

Steem, when SMT will launch, will become mostly a bandwidth token as well as the main pair for the DEX for all SMTs. One of the driver will be speculation...but we are also considering other ways to generate demand for the token. For one, owning more of our token will give a bigger opportunity for forum owners to rewards their users.

Many forum might want to operate with their own SMT. For those case, we have 2 options:

  • Charge a small fee of all rewards generated on their forum(and buy the tokenbb token back with it) or
  • Allow them to buy the premium version of the plugin with our the tokenbb token


Who are also open to other avenues to create demand. Feel free to add your suggestions on our post as mentioned above and we'll be happy to upvote it.  Smiley

I'm really interested in helping test this on my site. I'm also interested in delegating Steem Power to helping the project.

My username is the same on Steem, if you want to reach me there.

The steemit platform is surely a nice base for such a project, wish you good luck in making it successful.
