RE: HF20 Update: Operations Stable
Valid points. However, I am working on an entirely new UI to take the mantle of onboarding normies into crypto.
Valid points. However, I am working on an entirely new UI to take the mantle of onboarding normies into crypto.
This is interesting, looking forward to this @ned. Looking forward to many things, but this was unexpected, in a very good way.
Thank you for taking the time to do UI/UX for Normies. It seems no matter what is done, steemit.com is the url that people voluntarily chose, trust and I do not think that will change.
Will the new system make it easy to create quickly a lot of paper-wallets or account-claim codes for giveaways on stands and events?
Yeah, Steemit will continue to be the face of STEEM. Even though I know of and use other interfaces such as Busy, SteemPeak, and Partiko, I still think of Steemit.com as the baseline with which all others are compared. (And the one I somehow prefer regardless of its lack of pertinent info like VP%)
An excellent, sleek, modern UI would do wonders for Steemit. Interested to see what @ned is hinting at here! I hope it includes significant gamification. If people think Steemit is addictive now, it could be riveting with proper gamification.
Except everything will be new. In order to give the project maximal potential I’m building it under a new corporate structure with new top tier scalable name and domain (mobile first, though) and mission leveraging much experience gained, I believe much to the benefit of everyone, who will join.
Ned I've been messaging you for an idea I have on twitter, but you never replied. Do you even check your tweets there?
On a break from Twitter — you can find me on steem.chat @ned or email [email protected]
damn an all I ever wanted was for @ned to notice my song for Steemit ;(
Nice to know there is other way to contact you except steem.chat. My steem.chat account was banned by an admin of chat for retaliation, because I posted an article to show that he is a spammer.
Nice I'll be making the switch when it's released.
That sounds Awesome, I have a feeling this can be huge! Please tell me when to join. I got a phone :)
Will attention still be given to this platform, after the new UI is released? Also, maybe I am missing something, but why so much flagging on @sircork's commentary? It may be extreme, or a bit sharp, but I don't see why the captain of the ship oughta knock his rep down by 5 points. Just wondering.
Why not just use something like https://steempeak.com ? It's far better already.
Thank you for taking the time to respectfully read and comment with this foreshadowing. Framing this for my wall.
Great, that's very important @ned . That, and with what I said above about Coinbase including Steem in it's "other assets", could combine to make both the network and the value of Steem explode... once it's both easy for "normies" to onboard, AND for them to buy Steem with USD.
Has Steem Inc applied for listing via Coinbase brand new submission form?
https://listing.coinbase.com/
I'll have to pinch myself to see if I'm dreaming once STEEM is on Coinbase. A dream come true!
THAT would be amazing
You have collected your daily Power Ups! Your posts received total upvotes worth of 2.7$.
Learn how to power up smart here!
Leaders say "WE", not "I"...
Last I checked you’ve never been part of it. Muted for toxicity.
Literally just totally proved my point. Well done, young man, well done. You have nothing to fear but truth itself.
Oh and "last WE checked" ;)
Oh 100% ned flags won't draw ANY attention to this at all.
Flagged for citing rule #1 of every basic management class in the world.
Amateur is as amateur does... :D
Thanks for demonstrating literally everything I asserted.
Son, I was in tech before you born, some 35 years now, including roles at NASA for the CIO's office and winning awards from a former US President for my technical skills and service.
Sit down son. Have some popcorn and learn from your elders...
!popcorn
@Ned I have nothing to add to the above, BUT I do ask you on behalf of many users here on this platform to remove this flag from @popcornexpress. It is simply a fun and silly service that many enjoy here and has nothing to do with the user above. You essentially just killed part of the fun of Steemit, please reconsider.
Poor poppy! The belovèd bot got destroyed in the crossfire ='(
This whole exchange is surreal; I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone!
honestly we do need some popcorn here. steem could use some fun and love.
on a sidenote, flagging/voting from whales is stopping the platform from moving forward. maybe the '1 account 1 vote' coupled with human & good actor verification could be a solution. whatever is in motion for steem, whales currently have too much power, and we already know bigger stake almost never equates to benevolence.
simply put we need more decentralization. maybe even from ned himself? :)
He has burned close to $800 in rewards out of embarrassment and he has a history of this, it's not his first time publicly shaming himself. It's just another of many times.
Meanwhile...

Thank you @Ned 😘
Sircork is a shithead, but don't flag the popcorn bot.
A shit head who made you relevant when I insisted you be included in this reward:
https://steemit.com/minnowsupportproject/@danielsaori/yes-msp-medal-of-honor
And gave you this platform to exist on, though still nobody knows your name...

Oh, do your comments there bring back memories of being nobody till I gave you a lift? I thought so.
But at least this time you tried your attack in your own name, instead of hiding like the fraud you and your buddies are behind a real classy spoof account. @sircock - well done. I seem to recall your words on that were:
"I wish I was famous enough to have somebody spoof me"
Sit down Clown.
I'm just sitting back watching your ego devour the world around you. Keep dying on every hill you cross, that's why you're friendless, alone, and well past your prime.

Please for the love of everything good, save popcorn! This site requires popcorn.

So what prevents you from implementing a platform similar to the post HF20 STEEM minus the premining?
I can help with ideas for improvement.
I will join and will advertise it to others.
Might even try to study parts of the code and change it to implement improvements.
It should be a freemium like steemit, where everyone starts from an initially equal stake, except maybe from the staff, then again, the staff will be the first users and will have an immediate advantage because of it.
The staff will also be the first witnesses.
This place is too corrupt to save and you know it.

This place is too corrupt to save and you know it.
These two sentences speak volumes about THIS place...
This is why I used the word "this" in regards to "this place".
So what prevents you from offering a better alternative?
You will be able to automatically draw the better users from here, and initially, some of the worse.
In a place where patrice (whom you vote for as a witness here) does not receive a delegation from the house, and berniesanders (to whom you also vote for as a witness), and his likes (to which you also vote for as witness/es) will not have a humongous initial advantage?
Coming to verify my statements here I just saw how glaringly atrocious your votes to witnesses are as a whole.
Maybe I should have left your repeated avoidance from answering as it is.
The people you cite as my "atrocious" choices, are perhaps chosen specifically because they are quite likely not part of the establishment which your conflicting and quite propaganda laden messages seem to be speaking against, while apparently supporting with this conflicting commentary.
It's gross assumption to assume anyone could automatically "draw" the "better" users anywhere. Anymore than say Julian Assange or Edward Snowden have really done much to change anything with their attempts to expose corruptions and lead people to a "better" place.
I am suspect of your commentary. Its appears to conflict with itself. And I think that might be very much by design.
Flagging @sircork for internet trolling
As a content creator, that has taken a huge risk by going full time on this block chain...invested a ton of money and sacrificed a lot of time from my family to create a show for this platform...fighting and struggling to feed my family and pay the bills from my earnings here...trying to be a case study that shows "yes you can make a living doing this"....I think I speak for many here when I say......Please don't let us think this is how you prefer to use your Voting Power that could instead be changing many of our lives.
man please don't flag me....after 18 months of grinding I only just hit a 70 rep
This is @rest100 and I approve this comment I live for the blockchain!
@ned is only a 69 rep, if he had flagged you your rewards for that comment would have suffered, but he cannot affect your REP...
You cannot affect REPs higher than yours...
Please don't flag me... i am only a 61 and tht can hurt...
I feel and understand your perspective, however, my choice to not be voting up content luckily does not change the economic opportunity for creators — rather when I don’t vote, it allows more to be distributed by others. The same amount of “pie” is available and arguably more, when I don’t eat any.
True, like it or not.
Would you ever consider delegating a piece of that pie? I'd eat it wisely.
I've been a member since 9/20/2016. I started with nothing and didn't know anyone.
Since then I've been able to amass a small fortune of 23250 SP. I've taken the organic approach to all of this. A reputation of 71.7 given to me by the community; not purchased.
I produce my own unique style of digital art and combine that with words of a humorous nature, most days. Other days I'm trying to be creative, telling a good story, or simply rambling on about nothing. There aren't many entertainers on the platform but if one was to stick a label on me, I guess I'm one of those, or at least try.
In many ways, I've already proven one can make a living doing this. 98% of what I've earned here, stayed here, as proof of what can be accomplished. The other 2% was reinvested; some of those profits came back to this platform to replace what was missing.
Of that 23250 SP, 1085 was earned through curation. I've pressed that magic button manually 21202 times as of this writing.
I believe these recent changes now offer a greater incentive to curate and power up than ever before. I thought that's what people wanted. While so many were up in arms claiming these changes won't work, saying people won't be able to get anywhere; it didn't take me long to realize it's not all up to head office. There are thousands of people here, all they have to do is push the button. Those at the bottom will only stay there if we hold them there.
I'd like to be able to press the button more often. I prefer to support timeless content and interesting people. Those with a strong work ethic, the ability to entertain or captivate their viewership; they stand out in my eyes. Those writing books, producing music, showing off their art and photography, leading interesting lives and sharing that here; they typically see my vote. I'm not interested in only supporting certain groups. A seasoned veteran, new member, everyone in between; they all deserve their shot. I'm not interested in flag wars or using the vote as a way to take sides in debate.
I'm not part of any groups here. Somehow I've managed to experience some measure of success while being an outsider the entire time. I rarely make appearances outside of this platform to chat with the locals or take sides in our politics, though I've been invited several times.
A long Canadian winter is on the horizon. That means I'll have plenty of time to spend evaluating content and taking on the role of curator seriously all while maintaining a high standard of professionalism.
I can take 'no' for an answer but a 'sure, why not' would be preferred. I'd put it to good use and if it was taken away, that only affects me, as an individual, rather than a large organization who's success depends on it; so it's not a big deal.
Thanks for your time.
Fair enough....just remember how important perception can be....especially now with the new HF and the potential it serves to bring a lot of new faces here.
You could be a great leader to this community, for many of us....I just don't want to see this kind of stuff dishearten new users as it is disheartening myself right now.
And @rest100 ....fuck yeah buddy...I'm so glad I brought you to steemit...we've ground it out since day 1 of arriving. #steemlifebaby
Now I need to go get my season one finale of Hots or Shots ready to release.
Peace and Love (when possible) to all of you!
#keepcalmandsteemon
I actually agree with this logic completely, and respect you for it @Ned. It would be nice to see more support for trusted curation groups though, seeing as currently curation isn’t getting much support.. and I think everyone can agree that it is an important part of the ecosystem here.
There are many great initiatives that work each day to improve this platform, while not trying to get something out of it. Some non profit curation groups to consider might be - @curie, @c-cubed, @travelfeed among others. As someone who spends hours a day trying to ensure those authors that add so much value to this place are seen, I would love to see you and Steemit Inc. be a bigger part of that.
We welcome the Streisand effect in this case.
Im sorry @sircorck for the flags, hate to be in that position but i kind of enjoy seeing this. Not in a drama loving, popcorn eating kind of way but rather its nice to see the guy "running" the place actually show a genuine emotional response.
Ned decided not to upvote anything on the platform, nor do i see him making many comments on other posts (id bet he has some other account for that) that arent Steem related.
That creates this feeling of absence and dissociation. And its not that hes busy. We all are busy...
Ned is a bit bland when it comes to his interaction with the community. Everything he writes is measured or a service announcement....
So when i say its nice to see him act, even like this, im saying that its nice to see that hes actually human and not some "service announcement bot".
And to Ned... I know a lot is expected of you and there are so many people begging you for delegation. Some of them act high and mighty when a plankton asks them for an upvote but yet they will beg you like they are dying of hunger.
I know that must annoy you,but that or anything related, should not be a reason for you not to step on down a bit.
Im telling you, having honest, casual human interactions with users on the blockchain helps maintain stability and user satisfaction.
Tell that guy that painted a nice picture that it was cool. That you liked how this other girl sings.... That goes a long way and you yourself will feel better that you made some plantkon or minnow feel good. And thats without using any upvotes.
Anyways...
Have a nice day.
Yes, yes we do :D
Yes ¡we! do.
leaders as facilitators 😌
Still say we... ;)
@SirCork, Ned is downvoted you. I'm reading your comments. By the way, Obama said I and Trump said we. So, Steemit is better than Facebook. Steem is improving. I'm following your conversations here with Ned & others. I'm thinking about all of it right now. I'm Oatmeal. Keep up the good work.
Hi Joey L:) Isn't it fun watching the Glorious leader melt down over a pronoun?
He gets more insane every day!
Interesting for sure.
Even more interesting is watching desperate @netuoso flagging these comments (like that hurts me somehow?) to appear relevant to his overlord and try to win the favor of whoever he's trying to impress? He is spending a LOT of time thinking about me. Seems a bit obsessed. Possibly psychotic?
He's doing a fine job of increasing my followers and witness voters while making himself look like the other petulant children around here with their thin skins, obsessive behavior and cute little totally useless flags?
