RE: @Blocktrades + @Openmic: Steem Fest Giveaway - PART 2
I've gotta say, I have known @raj808 since this last summer - but that's more than enough to warrant my praises for him. This dude is a great community person and has laboured to earn his bread - even apologizing for being late or not showing up when it isn't expected. He has a sense for community, which Steemit needs more of. The more we can promote communities and less vicious or conniving people, the less we'll have to worry about small accounts never getting represented and bigger accounts getting the good deals when they don't deserve them. I know @raj808 in the #finishthestory area than anywhere else - but I see talent, creativity and care for his stories. I never see one entry where he slacks behind or is late to publish within the contest restrictions - he always is on the mark and shoots to exceed well regardless. Which I say are very important in this stage of Steemit's future if Steemit wants to warrant a long shelf-life. Including the fact he isn't secluded to that area (duh) and can be almost a renaissance man if he so put the time to doing so, which I don't doubt he's going to become such one day. @raj808, get that ticket!
Thank you for these kind words @theironfelix and your support in my quest to get to steemfest 3 :-)
I think you have hit the mark in your comment about one of the issues I want to address with this whole WritCoin idea.
I most definitely want the WritCoin voting mechanism to be designed so that it rewards only on one criteria - quality! Not to say that only the best would get rewarded, but it would be proportional and most definitely.... not allowed to become something that people with big SP can minipulate and buy. There are ways to ensure this but they just take a little more time and effort, ha ha and a shed load of administration. But as I said in my first post (linked below the vlog) the staking mechanism and vetting of community members can go a long way to stop this manipulation.
Anyway, I'm working on a presentation at the moment which should hopefully cast an even clearer light and dispel a few more of the shadows of uncertainty ;-)
