RE: Open Letter To Steem Community
Both:
Why not make it optional? Isn't that how Bitchute works? Same thing with Dtube where you don't have to do IPFS to watch videos on Dtube. But you can if you want.
Optional
It would be like an add-on option. I would make the seeding, the mining, etc, optional, so that it doesn't change anything about what people have to do on Steem, on Steemit, on Busy, etc.
Bitcoin, Bit Torrent
Thousands of people around the world use Bitcoin, Bit Torrent, Bitchute, IPFS, seeding, mining, etc. So, some people would do it for Steem. So, make it optional like Bitchute.
Bitchute
You don't have to do it on Bitchute but I think they have it on Bitchute. In other words, we can still keep it simple like you said.
User Interface
Yes, clean the face of the platform, the user interface (UI), of the apps of Steem, would be a very good idea, that is to keep it minimal, as in simple. Yeah, to newbies, forks are confusing.
Firefox
Firefox is always making changes as well. Technically, Microsoft operating systems (OS) are always making changes and that is why you click to update your computer ever week or two. I use Ubuntu.
Delegation
So, you mentioned donating. Delegation in SP to witnesses can help. Yes, you can donate through delegating SP to witnesses and that is a good thing to do.
Dtube, do you have seven active people doing that job today? It doesn't seem to have much appeal.
Dchute No one I know knows that website. It doesn't seem to have much appeal.
Bittorrent. The Young people barely know what it is ..
But yes. Are the ideas perfectly valid in cases of talking about a platform of little recognition or diffusion?
But for a really powerful project, with the need to mainly generate traffic.
That method would support millions of visits ..? Let's be realistic a platform based on content. The first thing to look for is to generate traffic, a lot of traffic. Infinite..
Decentralization helps support millions of visits and much more.
