Steemit how can this thing be workable long term?

[iamnotback]

If I can find anything worthy in a project design like Steem but with necessary improvements that I don't think they will make, it would be nice to get back to coding and stop arguing with dumb motherfuckers.

Even if just for the fun of creating something for a change.

But if I did it, I would flatten the rewards out and you would not be able to cash out for 2 years. So it would be for people who really want to invest in the platform. But I think most people would not join, because everybody is joining Steemit only because of the very large rewards that some make. But most users will never make that, and long-term Steem is MOST LIKELY going to implode on itself, so probably anyone investing long-term is going to lose.

I would like to just go create something good, even if it had less users at least it might be sustainable and  grow over the years to be something significant.

Who knows maybe there is a way to make adoption grow very fast even without the lie of instant $5000 payouts for blogging.

@bacchist spreading misinformation!

There are dumb motherfuckers over at Steemit.

Chillax... it's like everyone writes their stuff and they'll make mistakes, and they'll have wrong views, etc etc. And they may get upvoted, downvoted, whatever. Don't allow posts to get under your skin because that's when it turns into physical imbalance. It's not worth the stress.

It's not a lie when people are actually making that much. Didn't you make $3K or something?

The aspect of it that does border on deceptive to me is combining all the rewards into a single number when no one gets that much and even the author's portion is split between SP/SD. Personally I'd just display the author's SD portion and state that you get a matching amount in SP (and that voters also get a smaller reward). I suggested something like this earlier but it was rejected in favor of the sexier big numbers. My approach would show lower numbers on the web site but they would still be pretty high (there is one post on track to get $40K now; if it showed $15K instead that would still be a "wow" number).

the "wow" in the number is the scam..?*

Am I right? Blogposters earn their rewards in Steamdollar? And they need to wait 2 years to cash them out?

No. 1/2 Steem Dollars which are immediately tradeable and 1/2 in Steem Power which can only be cashed out gradually over 2 years (average holding time of one year). Steem Power gives voting influence on the site while you are holding it.

Steempower is the same token which is traded at the exchanges and the equivalent of the 300m+ marketcap right?

Steem Power is locked Steem, which in turn is the traded token. When you power down Steem Power, you get 1/104 of the amount in Steem tokens per week. Steem Dollars also trade on Poloniex and Bittrex, and SD/SP can trade against each other on the internal exchange.

i have a question...

i know someone who already have a blog..she wanted to make a copy of her blog from wordpress to steemit, but she said there is a plagiarism checker there, she might be labeled as a plagiarist..is there a workaround/solution to this?

because she doesn't want to delete her wordpress, she just want to try steemit.

i don't think there is a plagiarism checker i see lot of copied content from other sites there.

Well read it. It just identifies sources, nothing more. If the bot report turns out to be a false positive then the report can be downvoted and hidden.

So, I gather that if I make an up vote, but the curation reward ends up being worth less than the equivalent of .001 Steem, then it is rounded down and I don't get rewarded at all. What is the motivation then to up vote something that I like but hasn't received much attention or a whale vote? I guess giving the person a penny's worth is the only reward then?

Use it as a like button. Spread the love - make upvoting contagious. It doesn't matter the amount. That's the best part of having a few cents or less, in terms of voting power. You don't have to overthink it.

Well, I wish some people would spread some love to me. (Warning: Shameless plug for my latest post upcoming.)

I know that it is a Sonnet (boring), and it definitely doesn't rise anywhere close to Shakespeare. However; it probably took me several hours to write those 14 lines over 20 years ago. And it took me an additional hour sifting through boxes and drawers trying to locate the journal it was written in.

I guess the crowd doesn't appreciate poetry that much. In any case, you have my "love"

If you upvote before a whale, you get much more than upvoting after a whale. In general, upvoting before other voters (whale or not) is worth relatively more and after less. I got hardly anything for upvoting the $30K makeup lesson because I did it late even though my vote added thousands of dollars to the reward.
