You see me ROLLING - I'm building and I know you are too - TELL ME ABOUT IT AND WIN!
I am looking to support you. All I need to know is what I am supporting. Describe to me in the comments, on this post or any one previous, what you are building with/for/on steem and why. I may ask questions, because I am interested. But what I am most interested in is supporting the builders.
Starting with the payout of the first post in this series, I will start sponsoring people who have met my requirements; basically those who have responded to me explaining what they are building on steem.
A community? A following? An app? A business? Something I cannot even imagine?
I want to support you! Because I know that builders bring value, and I want my steem to be worth $7.77 cents this year!
I am raising the minimum total prize pool from 10 SBI to 35 SBI because I now have more than a dozen great entries, but I want more. I WANT TO SUPPORT YOU MORE!!!!
Do as the Gnome says and GET IN MY CONTEST!
It is a pleasure to greet you, my dear friend @ecoinstar and all who come here. First of all, I must thank you for your beautiful initiative, regardless of whether I will have your support or not. It is this kind of solidarity that make me grateful every day for belonging to the wonderful Steemit family... On the other hand, I must say that I found your post The secret plan for Steem - TL;DR It's world domination - contest inside very interesting and inspiring. Despite its brevity, it gives a clear focus on how far we can grow thanks to @steem. I intend to write something about it and I hope it won't be annoying if I invite you to read it... Well, now I'm going to answer your question:
In the midst of a dystopia, I'm trying to build a sustainable Utopia. That, in short, is what I'm building on the possibilities of @steem and the whole world of crypto currencies. I have to say that I am an artist and a 55 year old walker. When I started out as an artist there was nothing like social networks or the Internet, it is the first thing I refer to my students at the University of the Arts where I work, basically for the love of teaching, since the salary is more than derisory, ridiculous. Now, when in Venezuela we are victims of a system of government that, although it offers to turn us into an economic potency, leads us to the pitiful condition of the worst of the poorest states in Africa, in spite of having fabulous resources, and, consequently, art has ceased to be a priority or at least something of some importance, since people must invest their time in trying to survive. They offered us a Utopia and they have us living day by day in the nightmare of a cruel dystopia in which talking about art or the beauty of nature may seem like a meaningless joke. Fortunately, thanks to Steem we can count on a source of income that is above the vicissitudes of a falsely socialist economy. I try, then, to build a small but beautiful utopia: to be able to sustain, even economically, my effort and my creativity by adding value to the various platforms that feed on steem. But, as you say when you talk about building decentralized nodes, what it's all about is empowering the artists and creators of good content here in Venezuela. Together we have more power. That is why I urge my students day by day to qualify themselves, to project themselves towards the world instead of feeling suffocated by this mediocre government and, above all, to connect with that miracle called Steem. So I build a crypto-utopy to resist dystopia.
I’m planning to create a post on 1st April containing simple outlook of SEVEN77 Network that I’m building and all may subject to change because it’s a startup.
I recently has a chat with @mastergerund on a blockchain based game on it's conceptual stages. It was a fun chat for me because concepts I'm not familiar with and blind spots were revealed. I knew game dev was complex but not really dwelt on it this much until that chat.
I'm envisioning a battle royale or a 3v3 team battle type of game where players compete and earned items that drop randomly after each match. The value of the items are at random and can be exchange for tokens tradeable with steem or sbd.
Items can serve as added stat boost or aesthetic or access to achievement rewards when used for crafting more items. The game would reward players for playing it instead of the other way around and it would be reliant on crowdfunding. At least those are the initial stages planned anyway. :D
That is very interesting, and I love games! Are you a developer? How can we make this game a reality?
Nope, just an artist working with a programmer friend in collab with another artist. Right now we have a working concept but just need some free time to work on it. It's a hobby but f all goes well it could be a full blown game. You'd know once I start mentioning about crowdfunding the thing with a real demo available.

Hey! This looks interesting! I want built an art blog, and and art community on steemit, I don't now if I'm up for something bigger, but surely I want to enhance the art here in steemit. It will be amazing if artists can find their place of inspiration here and even more, be pay for it (you know, artists are always starving without money :v) .So yeah, that's what I'm trying to built up here :3
I maybe can't change the world alone, but surely I can try and find awesome people in my way with it xD
Thanks for this.
Am trying to build my Brand. As an artist, am dying to get my art works to a greater audience here on the steem blockchain. Am always on the lookout for opportunities and a few or none are coming through. I think basically everything else falls after this, because it the priority.
So here is brand that needs a push up, for it to stand... A brand that will inspire, teach, and help the other artists.
Art is my brand.
