RE: Crowdsourcing the Future w/Marketing Plan Announcement
Thanks for responding to my comment.
All in all:
- I hope a budget is thought of and the marketing efforts are mainly funded by Inc. not only through the work of Steemians and the steem daily reward pool (e.g. proposed projects get voted upon by big guys and that's the reward they get for their efforts)
- It doesn't necessarily need to be made public, but for the sake of transparency, intended investments need to (e.g. Apps Crowdsourcing will have a pool of x steem for rewards etc.)
We need to be careful with this, because there's the tendency for crowds to think 'have money, USE MONEY', which leads to wasted funds.
If stake based voting is involved in choosing where the funds go I guess the use money part comes with a responsibility. Off course each choice will be trolled (as usual).
Which is precisely why we're focused on getting the protocols right.
Building the battle plan is a big part of getting it right, but that can't go on forever and actions are needed to sustain the faith in the plan. For ex. I'm having a hard time trusting Synereo simply because they're taking years to come up with the technology they keep talking (and talking) about and has made me stay away from buying AMPs.
Agreed. Great points all around.
How is Steemit going to deal with users like me who are still logged in but cant remember their passwords? I moved my money into Steem and powered it up and now its lost forever? This issue needs to be corrected or it will drive users away.
First advice: don't clear your browser cookies.
2nd advice: maybe try to do a password recovery through the Stolen Accounts Recovery (sandwich menu top right on any steemit.com page). Be sure to try that in another browser not the one you're using to post on steemit as that might log you out. ALso, this would work if you ever changed your password.
3 Not sure how you signed up, but maybe there can be a way Steemit Inc . can implement to recover passwords via the phone number provided? Not sure about this.
PS> If @jmc is the account in discussion here, I understand you are upset about losing immediate access to your steem, but looking at your account, it's only about 140 steem which is quite low in terms of value. I can send you 50 steem if you create another account to sort this out short term.
Hi Andu,
I really appreciate the reply and the kind gesture.
I don't want another account. I want to fix this flaw. I can code. If steemit cant fix this flaw then how do I get steemit to let me fix it for them? Do you know how I can make that happen?
Thanks!
If you can code head over to their github and propose the change.
All in all, I'm not sure how this can be sorted, I don't know if a password recovery system can be implemented other than the current system.
Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. This brings another point Steemit needs to address. Steemit makes it to hard for me to contribute software development in a way that benefits me, which would mutually serve the community. Right now steemit is failing to motivate this.
