💡 MajorNews - Release date for Steem Hardfork 20 announced
Introduction
I own the domain name MajorNews.com. I am interested in developing a web site using (open source) tied to Steemit and maybe other platforms with monetary rewards. I have 1000+ ideas about how this could work, but the #1 thing you must do when developing a new web site is find out what interests people the most. If I added all 1000+ ideas, it would be a bit overwhelming.
- Looking for anyone who wants to be part of our team. Graphic artists, programmers, idea people, marketers, entrepreneurs, investors ... ??? ... Comment your interest and area(s) of expertise.
MajorNews Experiment #2:
Purpose: Try a few different things, see if anyone likes any of the ideas...
in other words... sling some mud on the wall and see what sticks.
- Today's jabi:
- Start with a topic (Hardfork 20)
- If people create posts about the topic, let them add their link and synopsis of their post.
- Then, people interested in the topic could:
- vote up the post
- both as curation for Steemit and a one person/one vote system, to make the post show higher on MajorNews.com.
Kind of like SteemHunt does, but with no 24 hour cutoff.
- both as curation for Steemit and a one person/one vote system, to make the post show higher on MajorNews.com.
- vote up the post
This does 2 things:
- Focuses on current news
- Allows us to build a crowdsourced directory of information about things in the news.
- Maybe instead of going to Google to research, people would come to MajorNews.com...???...
- Allows us to build a crowdsourced directory of information about things in the news.

- HF 20 - Did A Vote Below 2 cents Just Get Permanently Ignored? (ANSWER SEEMS TO BE ALL VOTES OVER 1 SP SIZE ACCOUNTS ARE GOOD) by @davemccoy
I asked a question and got some good answers. I will leave the post up if people want to read and follow along. But the 3 answers to the questions that came in (from people more in tune than me) seem to think that this will apply to 1 SP size accounts and below. So its a good thing and not a bad thing. Their answers are at the top if you would like to read their replies.
- How will the HF20 dust vote changes affect the vote values? by @crokkon
There was already some confusion about users being afraid of losing their vote value. This contribution simulates the HF20 rules on one week of current voting data to show the differences between the two implementations.
- HF20 - What's All Excitement About? by @ervin-lemark
It's minor tinkering with time constants, major tinkering with bandwidth / onboarding / whaterever which no ordinary user understood now and will understand even less in the future, some tinkering with witnesses and ... that's it.
No changes which will make the platform vibrant, no really new stuff.

It's an interesting idea, @wizardave... and it might be a worthwhile initiative as long as the news were tightly monitored. Meaning, it would need to be relatively free of the eternal "how to make money on Steemit" posts, masquerading as "news." Would you be looking to include ALL kinds of news, or just blockchain/Steemit related news?
=^..^=
Sorry, I forgot to include a link to my first article from yesterday...

I'm open to any ideas, but probably all news.
World, national, state, politics, sports, entertainment, ...
Yes, very good points. Spam is a very big concern. I think this could be controlled through the use of downvoting, but I'm not sure yet. I'm thinking of having a vote separate from the Steemit vote similar to what SteemHunt has done. It would be easy enough to have a free flag vote, that would unsee the "news" until someone manually checked it. And yes, that creates the problem of unnecessary flagging competition. So some sort of blacklist would need to be maintained, also.
On the positive, the "mainstream" media has been taken over by about 4 or 5 major corporations depending on which reports you believe. Our goal is to have a decentralized news media. It will be crowdsourced news and the crowd will decide what is MajorNews vs. the controlled MSM pushing their talking points and agenda on us. It's my hopes the crowd base would become large enough to help control the spam of any kinds.
I would like to keep the site open to everyone, meaning they wouldn't have to be a member of Steemit to use it, but they also would not share in any Steemit rewards.
We're in the very early stage of trying to figure out what would be the best setup, thus the experiments.
Thanks for your input @curatorcat!
This is really great news sir
