Introducing the Cheddur app: Your Personal Guide to Digital Currency :)
Hello!
My name is Jon Cursi and I'm brandy new to the Steemit platform! It's nice around here, so I thought I'd pop in and say "Hi"!
I'm a software developer with a passion for cryptocurrency and user experience. Combining these together, I recently launched a new app called Cheddur, your personal guide to digital currency. You can download it for free on iOS and Android!
The goal of Cheddur is to empower anyone (not just the tech savvy) to get started with any digital currency - in a fun and easy way, at the fraction of the time it would otherwise take. Use it to learn about any coin or service, watch videos, read and write reviews, share your coin addresses with friends, and a lot more! It's built from the ground up with beginners in mind, so no experience is required! :)
Here are some of my favorite features!
Learn the Basics
New to digital currency? No problem! Use the Cheddur app to learn the basics in just 1 minute.
If you come across a technical term (e.g. “blockchain”, “market capitalization”, “ICO”) while you’re using the app, we’ve done our best to ensure that there is a short and sweet explanation nearby. In most cases, you can simply tap on the “ⓘ” icon!
Discover Coins & Services
Whether you’re looking for a digital currency that just launched or a digital wallet to safely store your coins, Cheddur can guide you to the perfect coin or service. We put an extensive set of filters at your fingertips so you can hone in on exactly what you’re looking for!
Everything In One Place
Stumble upon a new coin or service? Understand what makes it stand out from the rest through a short video or description. See what others have to say about it by browsing through reviews. And if you really want to dig into the details, we capture dozens of different metrics for each coin and service.
Get Started
Ready to take your first step with a coin or service? Cheddur will help guide you through the process, empowering you to take action right now.
Compare Side-by-Side
Trying to figure out the difference between Bitcoin and Litecoin? Compare them side-by-side and we’ll show you!
Send & Receive Tips, Payments, Donations
Discover coins and services that your friends love to use. Once you’re set up with a digital wallet to store your coins, share your coin addresses with friends & followers to start receiving tips, payments, and donations in ANY digital currency!
Share Your Experience
After you’ve used a coin or service, tell us about how it went by leaving a review! This will help other Cheddur users just like you, and who knows — someone might even send you a tip!
Stay Informed
With the Cheddur app, you’re never more than one tap away from the latest prices, listings, and information!
Feedback
I'm really excited to join the Steemit community and share the Cheddur app with you all! My mission is to empower everyone to discover, learn about, and start using digital currencies. So, give it a try — I’d love to know what you think!
Hey, a great one there. Can you check this one too? https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@hreeshikesh/an-engineer-can-be-a-photographer-too
I installed cheddur after reading about it on bitcointalk.org. I was amazed though that it also showed the Bitair as ICO, while it was already discovered as a scam. How wil cheddur deal with this in the future?
Thanks for taking the time to download and check it out! We've certainly given a fair amount of thought to scenarios like this. We've decided to not be the judge nor jury on which project is or isn't a scam. We leave that to you - our users. You can review any project you wish, give it a one star, and call it a scam if that's what you believe!
Look, I've done it myself (on my personal account): https://www.cheddur.com/story/Smdj6LPqYR28CXBmz
We believe that if we start selectively filtering and censoring projects, then we put ourselves on a slippery slope. Everyone thinks someone else's project is a scam - and we don't want to be in a position where we have to pick and choose. So we just focus on the facts, and add profiles based on the facts we find on the internet. In terms of the profiles we add, our goal is simply to be factually complete.
If you look at the description for each coin or service, you'll notice that we put all of that free text in "quotes" to signify that this is language coming from the creators of the project, not us. We're very careful to not inject our own opinions into the system.
So yeah, if you think something is a scam and want to warn other users, this is exactly where you come in. By adding your reviews, we hope this will be inherently mitigated.
Hey there
Hey hey!
This looks great! I doubt steemit is the best place to spread the word, though. I mean, we're all pretty informed about cryptocurrency already. But what vexes me is that there is a plethora of computer science students who don't know a thing about crypto. I would think that people in the tech industry have heard about bitcoin already. But my dad, who has been working an IT job for Equifax (he is QA for lifelock), did not know about BTC until I told him. Honestly, most middle-class people have no motivation to use BTC because they think it's a scam, too hard to use, or that it's pointless because it looks pretty much like PayPal and they don't want to have to convert large amounts of money to BTC and back. When they convert to BTC, most people are using PayPal and buying through CoinBase. So they have to pay the Paypal TX fee plus the BTC TX fee. Rather, most people would just use PayPal instead of BTC. I really wish people started adopting BTC, but nobody seems to think it plausible.
Thanks for the compliment!
I know that most people here are seasoned vets, but that certainly doesn't disqualify you from getting a ton of value out of the app! I'm marketing the app as noob-first, but the app is equal (if not more) value for experienced users, too.
Since you already know what's going on, you'd probably want to use the Cheddur app to check in on prices (you can add coins to your watchlist). Or to check out new and upcoming coin launches and ICOs. Or to add your addresses to start receving tips / payments / donations from followers / friends / family. Or maybe you're looking for a new wallet or exchange because the old one you were using starts to suck.
Whenever and wherever the inspiration strikes on your crypto journey, we strive to have an answer for ya. Cheddur is an app that grows with you. As your questions become more advanced with the more you learn, you start to dig a little bit deeper beneath the surface. But the answer should always be there. An example of this is our coin and service filters. Newcomers probably won't even see or use this, but power users can slice and dice and filter and sort the data to their hearts content to find EXACTLY what they're looking for :)
By sharing your experiences (in the form of reviews and coin addresses), you'll be helping both your dad and mine get started with the best coins and services without having to make the same mistakes we did!
Cheddur is packed with features. Download it and give it a try, and let me know what you think in this comment thread. I think you'll be happy :)
