RE: Is SteemPower Useful for Other Blockchain Apps?
I also do have a hard time finding good reasons and use for SP outside blogging services. Even forum (Q&A, HOWTO) type of services are not helped with SP, since the correct answers to problems, or the correct way in doing things, needs to come out at top based on facts rather than based on personal taste.
With music streaming, I also do not see how SP will work. Actually "Thirsty Records" (an Australian recording studio and label) is now crowd funding their wish for a p2p streaming service they base on Steem. I actually asked them last week how they will use Steem and SP, how artists are rewarded, how they actually think they can onboard artists with the ever devaluation of Steem and all the 'wars' going on within the Steem/Steemit community at the moment. Still waiting for their response, but very interested to understand how they will manage the challenges of Steem/SP today.
I think it's fundamentally flawed as a way to accurately represent evaluations from people, since the evaluations are being done based on s very small number of people who have the concentration of power. Time will demonstrate such a reality if it is indeed the case, right now I don't like what I see about SP control in the community... Thanks for the valuable feedback, I appreciate it!
