Steem.Supply Update: Easter Eggs And Full Upsteems For The First 3 Lucky Finders (Replacing BrainFuck Question Of The Day)
After more than two weeks of BrainFuck questions, I decided to push the game to the next level. If you don't know what BrainFuck is, well, it's a programming language, extremely simple, in which you can - allegedly - write everything you want, provided you have the time and computing power to do that. I used this language to create simple riddles, and gave away 3 full upsteems for the first 3 of my Steemit followers who will decode that riddle.
But after two weeks I had a sense of plateauing, like getting a little bit bored, so I decided to change it.
So, instead of decoding a short program, we will hunt Easter Eggs instead.
In geek lingo, an Easter Egg is a hidden feature, or something so deeply concealed in an app that you have to dig deep down to find it. These Easter Eggs were made famous by games, initially, with specific combination of keys. For instance, if you type Ctrl + Alt + Del...
But I'd rather leave you discover this Easter Egg [insert evil grin].
I implemented a few Easter Eggs in the current version of steem.supply. So all you have to do is to head over there, find it (there is only one implemented in the public version) and come back with the answer.
To make things easier for you (a bit), this initial Easter Egg is about clicking a certain element on the page and triggering an alert. The text in that alert is the question that you have to answer here, in order to get a full upsteem from me. And you have to find the element in the page.
Please, pretty please, with sugar on top, do not write the question, only the answer.
Ready?
Set?
Play!

If you're new to Steemit, you may find these articles relevant (that's also part of my witness activity to support new members of the platform):
Being able to send private messages if that is possible haha
Rather than going on discord or steemit.chat
You know you can use the wallet memo feature to send messages, right? Like sending 0.001 Steem and add a message?
Or you want private messages as in not visible to anyone else?
Thanks for playing, btw, full upsteem from me :)
Private Messages that are not visible to anyone in case I want to contact a user here without letting the whole world know the contents of our discussion haha
If you add the "#" in the memo it makes it a private memo!
Maybe this doesn't work anymore! haha I believe it worked in the past!
Some reward based on the number of page views even if it is small for both the reader and writer! Then maybe people will actually read the posts!
Thanks, that's a very interesting feature.
I don't know where I came up with it! I just feel like very few people read posts and just upvote!
That's a good idea! ... I can't find the damn egg (-:
I like the pie chart - and I think I found the easter egg... if there's only one.
I think the number one feature Steemit should roll out is more content filters in the front-end. Age of posts, categories, sub-categories (by tags), only display posts from users above x reputation, etc. Just some way to get more granular rather than the long, not-so-easy-to-use lists of content we currently have.
Also, I think it would be good to see a change to the reward pool based on non-Steemit readership. I can't describe the technical workings, but if I have 50 views from Steemit members but 5,000 views from the wider users of the web, there should be some corresponding reward, or reputation increase (maybe) or similar.
Private messages!
I'm giving you a full upsteem but I'm not sure if you actually found the Easter Egg :)
@dragosroua - Sire, Opera web browser is generating an error at the top of steem.supply web site. Please check it Sire. This is a good news for everyone. Therefore, I will RESTEEM & UPVOTE your post Sire.
+W+
Thanks, I'll look it over.
You made it tricky i liked that ;) BTW the only thing left and many people want is private message box instead of Typing message in memo of something
Since you already gave your 3 upsteems, what are these features?
If now is too early, I can wait.
One upsteem too late, still a feature I would like: to have some long term history graphs, to have also a sense of the past, not only of the future.
Since the challenge is over, I share the screenshot of the first Easter Egg:
A search bar? sounds crazy but what we have now dosen't work
pressed "F5" got easter egg pop up , 2nd time i got it was on mouse over whitness button and that i was able to repeat :)
