RE: How do you reckon I should reward the Ninja Warrior community?
If posts and comments are visible in other condensers, that could pose difficulties, since I might be on steempeak, and only see half of a conversation that happened between one of your green members, and one of your gold members; but if conversations aren't visible on other condensers, then you'll need to be the source of either your SMTs or the upvotes to reward your members, since steemsters are unlikely to visit your site specifically.
I think perhaps sponsorship might be the key here; perhaps even naming rights to the site or the SMT. Are there brands looking to present themselves as riding the cutting edge of technology and fitness? Even $50,000, (which is nothing to them); could kickstart the operation, particularly while Steem is cheap.
Hmm, I hadn't considered that... I guess I have 3 options in mind:
Some of the events and competitions have some serious venture capital behind them, so maybe I could find a sponsor. I've got a couple of ins at Nike, who I'm sure are super annoyed that all the profesh ninjas all wear New Balance on the most popular reality TV show in the US.
Just to be clear... the 50k sponsorship would go into purchasing stake in the Steem blockchain for upvotes?
You've definitely given me a lot to think about. Thanks dude!
