RE: Why #newbieresteemday Could Use Your 500 SP - And How I Suggest You Distribute It
Awesome. I appreciate your influence here. You clearly are gifted at structuring initiative and I trust your judgement implicitly. I'm going to scoff down my dinner then jump straight back on the keyboard so I'll be about if you want to shout.
also had a conversation with looksfarwoman down below near bottom... I think we should also try another method of getting to the newbies. I think there are some people that want to help but only want to put up resteems of people they like vs an automatic thing. There might be a way to use this as a positive too and I explained it to her as a "scout" program. Basically someone who goes out and finds 10 to 20 newbies and resteems them and get to know them a little better. My thoughts are to experiment a little with the different personalities and see if we can have several types of helpers within the program to give us some flexiblity and sort have a way that each person can help in their own way. To do this we need some pioneers and looksfarwoman would be good at this (if she wants to try it)... any ways just giving you a heads up so that you and her can be on the same page...
and btw, feel free to kick me out anytime you want....lol... I am a bull in a china shop at times, but its just the way I am when I see something that we can do and succeed at.
Also I think we need to consider the financial parts of this in the next couple of days. I will certainly send the sbds that i make from my post to the newbies, and I think you have reflected you would do the same (or something close to that)... We can distribute it through hitting posts with upvotes or just giving prizes to the best of type thing. Another thing to consider is giving the "founding partners some leeway on what they do with the money they get with their posts"... for instance one of the guys want to resteem 3 of the best each day and he will split his prize money among those 3 best he selects. I personally like to see experimentation, but I think you should be aware of when it happens and make sure you are ethically agreeable to his (or anyone's plan). It was the guy with the black and white pic with a mustache... He is a delightful guy and I'm sure its no problem, but I wanted to give you a headsup so that you can make that decision for your self.
Ok I'm off to get to some messages but this page is done...
Wouldn't dream of kicking you off the effort sir. Your input and participation is incredibly valuable to the effort of making Steemit a supportive strong eco system. I have contacted all the people you have mentioned and eagerly await their responses.
What do you think about me designing a website as a landing site for those who wish to support this initiative? I have reviewed the SMT white paper in regards to designing tokens on Steemit and I believe we could integrate a smart token that would offer incentives to experienced users to support new users by engaging them and supporting their content. The technical side of this is still in its infancy but I do have at my disposal the resources to launch something along these lines when the Steemit Smart Token option is launched this year and the frame work for this can be hammered out starting now. You asked me to think big picture so I'd like to know your thoughts on this?
