RE: Before You Can Spread The Gospel You Must Create The Word: Steem Marketing and Branding Thoughts
So this is sort of what I mean by "We lack features" I've stated in the past that with our free and fast transactions, we need to have tips/donations on frontends for posts and comments to also allow people to reward posts with their liquid Steem or SBD and have a similar experience to upvoting.
Also I've talked about turning sharing and beneficiaries into a feature, something along the lines of "Resteem as New Post" which would share the content of a post, but as a new post on another users account with the original poster set to 100% beneficiary, this way posts past their 7 day payout period would be "rebooted" each time someone shared their post in this way. This would mean really good posts could earn forever without making any changes at the blockchain level.
If we wanted to discuss changes at the blockchain level, there could be an inflation pool that rewards users based on the activity of their posts where posts with the most views and engagement received Steem from inflation based on that.
There's a ton that could be done, but people just have to do it.
That's an interesting idea. I'd like to hear some cons to it. I can't think of one that isn't already abused in this 7 days window as well.
Hmm, spam rings for better earnings?
Well this is just a 2 sec brainstorm, a feature this big would need to be thought about a lot deeper and with everything there will be risk of abuse. With more development some counters could be thought up I'm sure.
