Announcement: Steem Upvote Marketplace – Get Free Upvotes

in #steemit5 years ago (edited)

Not very long ago I got in touch with steemit and the underlying blockchain technology. Since the end of 2018 I’ve recognized the full potential of the whole ecosystem and decided to build something big. Of course I had (and still have) to learn a lot about the inner mechanisms of steem and the whole api, before I can start a 'real' project.

That’s why I decided to start this small kickoff project to get deeper into this awesome technology and learn the basics, before developing the other project I got in my mind.
And now here we are.

steemvotesis a platform where steem users can earn credits for upvoting other people’s content. Especially this is meant for people who temporarily haven’t got the time to always use their full voting power (for example if you’re in vacation, are writing your exams, or what ever). Then you can login to steemvotes, enable auto-liking and earn credits for your every upvote. These credits are calculated based on the steempower you own and your current voting power. You can spend your credits later to get upvotes on your own content.

It just takes three simple steps to use steemvotes

  1. Log-in using your steem account name & your private posting key
  2. Go to your dashboard and enable auto liking
  3. Spend your credits on any post you want

If you like steemvotes and/or are interested in my future work for the community, upvote this post and follow me. If you don't, don't😄

Edit:
We're now offering a referral program. Earn credits by referring us to other people.
50 credits per new user

How this service is different from @UpvoteBank? Why this one is better?

To be honest I didn't knew about Upvotebank. But it seems like their system operates as a bot only, while steemvotes.io is a website with an user dashboard. The rest seems pretty much the same :D
Edit: Now we're offering a full-scale upvote marketplace, where you can buy / sell your upvotes for Steem, which is way more than upvotebank offers.

You got a 48.48% upvote from @emperorofnaps courtesy of @discernente!

Want to promote your posts too? Send 0.05+ SBD or STEEM to @emperorofnaps to receive a share of a full upvote every 2.4 hours...Then go relax and take a nap!

This sounds interesting I will have a quick look on the site thanks mate!

Great! Thank you :)

So one can get less interaction and still drain the rewards pool. Somehow I don't like the idea of having a bot do the curation for you. This just kills the social element in the platform and is fucking up the whole idea of curation and rewarding quality posts, thus lowering even further the value of Steem.

Yeah, you're kind of right about that. But you have to admit that, like everywhere, it depends on how you use it.
Many new users on steemit provide excellent content, but just don't get bigger. For these people my platform can really help to get a boost in the beginning. And instead of spending on theese curation bots (which actually do the same, but taking money for it), they can use this platform for free.

Is Steem a market for votes or a social platform? That's all I'm asking. The rewards distribution is broken, because people are gaming the rewards. This is the reason why the best authors will never make it on Steem, they need to pay for attention. Bots care only about profits.

This is the loopwhole of the design of Steemit which has not consider the human nature at the very beginning.

Looking at the way @ned and his buddies are taking away money from the plafom, I think they considered human nature reall good. We gave Steemit too much trust, that they neve deserved. Go and buy votes, but when you spend all your Steem on bots and have zero interaction with real people, ask yourself is Steem a social media or a market for votes?

you are right. Not much interaction here.

Its an interesting project. Just have few queries. What makes your project sustainable? How you as the developer will earn from it?

Mainly this project was done just for educating myself - and it's really not that expensive to maintain (about 5€ a month for server costs + domain).
So at the moment I'm not earning from this site, but if the project succeeds and has more users, there are many possibilities to earn money from (like ads, coinhive, selling the credits for money, etc, etc), but as mentioned above that is not my main intention :)

Thanks for answering my query. I just noticed you have added referral program but your post didn't describe how it's done. Maybe you should make an instruction about the process so we could understand and probably help promoting the project or refer to other users. Thanks

I'm going to add a FAQ and a few more how-to's to the website in the next days. But here is a short summary about the referral program:

-Invite new users by giving them "Your personal referral link"
-You get this link by clicking on the button in your dashboard
-When a users visits steemvotes through your link, he gets "marked" for 24h
-If the invited user registers within these 24h, you (the referrer) will receive 50 credits
-You can invite as many perople as you want, there's no limit
-You will only receive credits for NEW users

Hi, is it safe to fill in my private key into the site? I just wonder whether it is a scam.

The site is designed to only work with your private posting key, so even if I'm a scammer your funds would be safe as this key only allows posting and upvoting stuff.
In the end you have to decide if this is worth the risk.

I see. ths for explanation

thanks for reaching out to me on this!

Thank you, for giving it a try :)

I wish you the best of luck with this project and also with your other projects. Makes a big difference.

Nice job... Well I will join . thanks

Thanks, I appreciate it. The more people join, the better it works :)
