My Review for Media DApp- Musing (Ask Questions, Write Answers, Earn Cryptocurrency)
Have you ever thought of that you get rewards for asking questions or answering it. If I say, Yes its possible then would you believe me? It might sound strange you may not believe me but truth is that it is possible. https://musing.io/ is a steem blockchain based web portal which reward users for asking and answering questions.
Hope Many of you must heard about Quora. Its Quora is a website a platform to ask questions and connect with people who contribute unique answers and Musing run on the same concept.
Overview of Musing.io
Musing is an easy-to-use, question and answer platform where you can earn cryptocurrency (monetary reward) for your engagement with the community! Upvotes are given based upon merit of the question or answer and as feedback from your followers. Starting out is as easy as establishing a Steemit account and signing in using SteemConnect. Upvotes from the Steem blockchain can be converted easily to traditional currency (ie USD). This is similar to the popular Quora platform, only you can get paid on this one! There’s something for everyone!
Musing was launched in May 2018 and and so far 30242 questions are posted. This platform is founded by founder and developer @jonching and the platform has been growing rapidly since then.
Musing is a platform for asking question and answer and its built on STEEM blockchain.
Any user who would join this platform gets the access to ask questions and can answer other questions. Upvote rewards are paid in form of cryptocurrency (STEEM).
Here in Musing, users ask good questions that can be upvoted and answered by members andif the answer is valuable they are upvoted. Presently users earn rewards in form of Steem tokens which can anytime be exchanged to USD. Musing have a plan in place to have their own token in this year by end of 2019.
Difference Between Musing and Other Websites
- At Musing, user is king and rewarded through the upvotes by the community members depending upon the quality while with other websites like Quota, Yahoo answers and Google etc are good but they don't reward users for any content creation.
- Musing is based on decentralized steem block-chain while others are not centralized they can censor the content if they want.
How to Join Musing.io
need to open https://musing.io
Joining Musing is very easy, and specially for for users who own steem account. Since Musing is based on steem blockchain and Steemit users just need to log in using their Steemit credentials or Steemconnect to start using thisplatform. Those who don't have steemit account have the option to signup on the login page of Musing.
I am sharing here all the steps for Login/Sign-ups in Musing and how to use it-
Since I am existing user of STEEM so have selected "Login with STEEM" option
This page will open the next and need to click on Continue
Because my steemconnect credentials are already saved so I just need to click on my account box
Once I clicked on my account then I have logged in and home page of Musing is now open in front of me-
Posting a question in Musing super easy and single step process. Just need to click on "+" sign at right side on top of page.
Here is the example of the question I have written with tags as well. Now only need to click on submit button it's done.
As I said that posting question is very easy so the answer is too. Need to click on the question and then answer and upvote options are available.
Posting in musing can also be shown in steemit if that option "Post to blog" is selected. This post will be updated in steemit as well and members who are in steemit and not in musing can also support the post.
My Feedback about Musing-
I liked this musing platform a lot as here for one question we get the opportunity to know about different opinions. Everyone has different mindset and point of view about any topic or question. Musing gives the opportunity get to know that opinions here.
People love asking questions and share their answers because they know if its good then they are going to win reward and it motivates them to create quality content. Though this platform is decentralized but the kind of reward model it has makes people to avoid posting spam or worthless content.
Conclusion-
This dapp is only wokring in web portal and dont have android or ios app. Since now a days mobile apps are in high demand but NO app from Musing holding it back. Things are going mobile and I suggest Musing to work on it and release soon to grab more users who are highly app lovers.
Now a days people love to share their views about the topics they have interest and like to ask question without any censorship. Decentralized nature of Musing makes it different and unique.
Undoubtedly its growth rate is fast but it has a long way to go and hope to see it upgrading to next level in coming weeks/months.
My Rating
I rate this platform 4 out of 5 and I find this dapp full of potential.
