Would Steemit be an appropriate platform for voting?
I have 2 scenarios which I think Steemit might be useful for but I want feedback before I attempt either one because it could generate spam.
Coin voting. We often get users who come into our slack or spam us on twitter saying "please add my latest cool coin, we have so much demand in west africa/indonesia/mars/etc." I'd love to make multiple posts that would be titled "Should Bittrex add [coin blah]?" and drive the people who support that coin to sign up on Steemit and upvote/ share the post to drive further votes. I get some concrete numbers on who supports a coin and they are voting with assets that have some value to put skin in the game. Assuming a given token has some demand in a demographic where Steemit has yet to be adopted, this could be a win/win.
Feature voting. We have a fairly long list of features in our backlog and a lot of conflicting voices on where to prioritize. Having a public vote on features could also be a good usage of Steemit. And the tips that come from votes would also help subsidize the developers and pizza money it would take the build the feature.
Thoughts and feedback?
Thanks for your time.
That would be very interesting use case seeing as it could also be a live stream platform, a marketplace and a place for discovery and curation. Crazy how a simple social network design can become so widespread!
