NBD Update : Supporting Plankton & Minnow Content Creators.

: Supporting Plankton & Minnows :

NBD Records has HUGE goals on the Steemit blockchain. I've listed many of these goals in my previous post and supporting new content creators on the blockchain is one of my main early objectives for this project. This post will go over my short term plan to start supporting minnows and plankton based creators.

NBD is a secondary account created by @toddjsmith1979 who supports NBD artist with his growing Steem Power. I've stated in previous post @nothingbutdirt will be saving up Steem Power in order to support @toddjsmith1979 with curating NBD artist. NBD will never power down, all power will be saved and used to progress the project and artist.

Beyond voting with Steem Power NBD Records will dedicate early SBD & Steem to artist on NBD who receive no whale support from the Steemit eco system. Many artist give up because the lack of support to minnows and plakton, I aim to help that curve by supporting new content creators with SBD/Steem payouts on post overlooked by the blockchain.

No SBD created by @nothingbutdirt will leave the NBD system, all SBD will be used to curate artist in the blockchain or help push real life releases and merchandise. I've never seen anyone support artist in this manner on Steemit and I feel it's going to help MANY new content creators on the Steemit platform.

Steemit and the blockchain have the potential to change the rules and break down the walls of the past. I believe the Steemit blockchain will help start a blockchain music revolution and I want NBD records to be on the front lines.

: Nothing But Dirt Road Map :

Step 1 ( 2018 ) - Promotion of NBD and the concept within the Steemit ecosystem. Supporting artist on the blockchain and sharing Steemit with artist outside the blockchain.

Step 2 ( 2019 ) - Artist start releasing CD's, records and merch with Steemit profits. This final step is when the website takes full form and NBD becomes real. Branching out into the real world is the long term goal. The long term goal is to give a central "brand" for electronic artist of Steemit and solid curating system. This would allow funds to be saved for artist if they wish to release CD's, records or merchandise.

NBD records wants to help introduce new creative minds to the Steemit blockchain by helping artist outside of the Steemit ecosystem get started on Steemit. Everyone on Steemit loves the technology the potential of blockchain driven social media but many new users can feel overwhelmed by the new system, leaving them in culture shock.

I want NBD records to help push the blockchain forward into a bright future, creating new Steemit users from people who have a good experience with the blockchain via NBD records. I'm thinking of labeling the series " From Outside the Blockchain" and having all SBD from these post go to new Steemit accounts for these artist. Allowing them to have a smooth transition and introduction to the Steemit blockchian.

I'm a admin of the largest synthesizer and drum machine group on Facebook, reaching almost 50,000 members. This group gives me contacts to many other large, creative groups outside the Steemit ecosystem. These groups can help me spread word of the Steemit blockchain, creating Steemit content creators of tomorrow !

The growing list of Blockchain Artist NBD supports is growing. All SP is supplied via @toddjsmith1979 who drops down to 20/30% vote value twice a week in order to curate the group. NBD will save ALL Steem Power and never power down. All Steem Power will be used to support @toddjsmith1979 with curating NBD artist.

NBD is now accepting delegations if you want to support the project, it means the world to growing creative Steemians. At the core NBD will be a Steemit based "record label" but will support any good content made from a growing content creators on the Steemit blockchain with remaining power.

Record labels of the past are bound by the rules of a old system. This new technology will allow users to create amd support new projects in a way never seen before blockchian technology. It’s going to be interesting to see how old models hold up in the blockchain era. I see many concepts of the past going the way of the pager and VHS, they will just become outdated.

Steemians are early adopters of this new technology, on the forefront of new ground and new possibilities. Taking this new freedom and applying it to a record label only creates endless possibilities. That’s how the concept of NBD Records started to form. NBD will be one of the first blockchain driven groups that pushes products and projects beyond the blockchain.
