RE: Fighting Abuse on Steem: the case @creativemary and what should we do better
When we joined Steem in 2017 we had to pay registration fee of 15 Steem and shortly after it was reimburst, the number of active users that time was huge as you remember the Price for Steem was about $7-8 USD
Generally speaking the number of active users is low because:
- there is no new development happening on Steem in compare to Hive
- There is no Steem media token and Hive has it
These made Hive value to go up and it is quite stable remaining above $1 ($1.49 today and Steem $0.39) despite of low of all Cryptos.
If we recall the time early last year when Steem Price was more than $1.50 then the number of active users were higher too.
Even having couple of thousands more users from developing countries who are financially dependent on Steem because they need to buy food and pay costs for living it will not make Steem stronger.
But it is enough to have just few investors who will come and buy couple of hundred thousands of Steem that will shift the price up and bring more people in.
To create emails is easy and it is also free, I am afraid many can create many addresses. To ask for identity that may make people to stay away. Why someone should share his identity card or mobile number. The easiest really a fee
Regarding the SMTs, as far as I know, Hive doesn't have those either. The odds of us ever seeing SMTs are really slim TBH. The tokens that you see on hive are the hive engine tokens which are a side chain on Hive.
I thought that they have. Also I was wondering if it would be possible to create some possibility of uploading Videos like Dtube in the past, otherwise people first go to youtube and then link it and also NFTs which become very popular. Those stuff would be great to integrate if possible.
I have no experience dealing with video formats, unfortunately. Regarding the support for NFTs, it is totally possible but I alone would not be able to bring this out. Or, I'd need a ton of time to build such a possibility. However, I would definitely be trying to bring that over here.
PS: I'll try and put out a community call for devs who might want to work on this once I have explored this field a bit.
Yes, but when you joined steemit in 2017 it was completely different and instead of mentioned Pakistan and Uganda, there were users from the US and Europe. There is no come back to that Steemit, it went away permanently with Hive.
To avoid abuse. In my opinion it's much more effective than the fee, especially that protecting the identity is not that important in the countries that are present on the platform right now (unfortunately, you can see it when you realize how many people don't know what creative commons is and how many of them use copyrighted photos).
I totally agree with that. It's beyond my possibilities to change it though.
True, but then we can push them to invest at least a bit with club5050 and other similar projects. Also, more active users bring investors from developed countries. If we will have a platform with 1000 users, nobody will be interested in investing here. Quality is important but we cannot totally ignore the quantity.
Greetings friend @stef1.
I find very reasonable the proposal to generate the need for the user to invest at least 15 Steem, this can be done immediately after creating the account, ie, the Steemit team should not delegate the usual 15 Steem to users and the RC should start at 0, seeing forced the user to buy 15 Steem to invest them and thus to generate activity within the platform, this would be a filter and at the same time a market resource that could positively impact the Steem ecosystem.
Thank you @adeljose for your opinion, I completely share it the system should be robust to make it serious
