Vlog #115: The first real Project that will use an SMT has been announced yesterday and it's called Appics.
The first app that will use Smart Media Token (on the Steem blockchain) has been announced and it's called Appics.
You can read all about it here.
Or visit their website: appics.com
I think this is great for several reasons.
First of all, from what I could see a lot of care has gone into the website, marketing material, and the app itself. It looks amazing. Just check out this video. It's a perfect showcase.
It will showcase what an SMT can mean for a social media APP. (that runs on the STEEM blockchain).
It will showcase how an ICO works on the STEEM blockchain.
It will showcase that anyone can build on top of the Steem blockchain and monetize it with an own SMT.
For me, this project is just another reason to look forward to SF2 and learn more about it.
I talk about it more in my vlog.
Questions I have and waiting for an answer (in the telegram group):
- Is liquid STEEM needed to buy into the ICO?
- Will the App have different people trending compared to Steemit.com?
@exyle I am so excited in so many ways with SMT's on Steemit and I was just reading about what @ackza is doing to support GOLOS for the Russian Community. I want to invest in all these different things. All of this is really going to help people everywhere, I think you would agree ?......
Count me interested
This is what I liked the most:
You have penned down some key points and I really appreciate you for that. Keep up the good job as it's helping thousands of the Steemians.
I'm sure you will be doing a lots of things there at SF2. I think the recent threat to Steemit has been it's going down several_ times in a week. This is creating a lots of concerns among users specially the new comers. I know there are some alternate solutions to this problem but people just hate keep creating new accounts. It's annoying. This is the first thing that should be discussed on SF2 before anything else.
The second thing that is a big threat to the users is spamming/hacking. Some serious actions are requires from the top management on this issue. People are losing their accounts as this number of spammers has increased during last couple of weeks.
Just gave my input on issues that are hurting Steemit.
Great job and superb post like ever before. Keep rocking dear @exyle.
Steem On!
Exactly this! I hope some manpower will go to addressing these issues before launching the whole SMT system.
You don't need a new account to use different frontends. I'm writing this comment on Busy.org with the same credentials as Steemit.com. That means that the Steem blockchain is fine only the website Steemit.com is slow. Spamming will be tough to address I guess. As long as you never use your master key to login you will always be safe.
Hey man
I saw Ned looking for feedback on which app to use to discuss SMT. Has he gone with Telegram then? I've not used this app. Need to find out the details of the group... Found it!
Very pleased to see a project for SMTs appear so soon!
I'm not sure what he's picked. All I know that Appics uses it.
This is what i was looking for:
We're here on Telegram, check it out, and let me know if you think this is the right channel (or if there's a better medium) for this: https://t.me/joinchat/GkIgPA21gpj_m-y_H8hvRQ
Cheers!
Thanks for that link!
No worries man, taken from @ned's most recent blog.
The promotional video looks very polished and well made, I'm not sure what you get out of it as a regular user who doesn't upload much.
This is great news, finally we wait for the project that will start to advance the idea of SMT in life, I hope everything will go fine and soon we will see the results. Thank you @exyle
fantastic news @exyle, it's nice to see first app Appics, starts to use SMT's on top of steem blockchain and it's actually great in a sense that it helps directly the steem coin and that's great for whole steemit community, i am also so excited to see how those SMT's actually works practically, the another wonderful thing is that every SMT is traded in a steem/smt pair and that's another good thing and it defiantly helps the steem price a lot, thanks you very much my friend for sharing fantastic news with us, these informations really helpful for me and surely for the whole steemit community as well, stay happy and blessed my friend.
I am glad to learn about an active SMT! It will give us all an example. Hoping for a major boost in Steem price as potential benefits become known. Thanks very much for posting what you learn!
@exyle,
I just go through with it and I think you brought great 4 reasons about this project! Let' see how it's going on! This is a good example for all of us how SMT platform works on STEEM block chain!
Cheers~
@exyle. Good day,
This is an interesting development for SMT. Am sure you get the questions you are asking if you are going for the SF2.
Appics seems interesting just checked the website quite nicely mentioned everything lets see how it turn out to be
