Vote or Tip by QR Code! A possible REVOLUTION?

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

Thanks to a great Post I got an Idea!!!

Generating QR codes for posts, Your say walking down the street and stopping by a street performer and loving he's Singing, Art, talent etc... You would like to give him a dollar to show appreciation of the work he does but either you need the money that's in your pocket or you have no cash with you, but you really wish you could give something to him!

The solution is the Steemit Post QR Code.

All that the street performer has to do is to share he's story on steemit and create a QR code for the post, print it on a piece of paper and start steeming !

People will be able to use their phone to quick scan the code that will do one of the following:
Open the browser app and take them to He's Post so that they can easily Up Vote!
Even better launch the dedicated steemit app ( I hope soon to be developed) and let them vote there!

Take your phone, Scan, Vote Up! SIMPLE!

Pro's:

  • performers will earn more and get heard

  • people will easier make the decision to give money to someone in need

  • people with no money / poor will also be able to contribute!

  • It will make donations more frequent due to the simplicity of it!

  • Beggars can also apply this, someone could manage their funds/profile instead of them, an organization for example

Con's:

  • Nothing here, Read On!

I put street performers here as an example, Imagine the use of this implemented in other things as well, like Charities, Fund raising, Tipping, helping people in need, building hospitals... you name it!This could be implemented almost anywhere! It drives new users to the platform while doing all of us GOOD! This could sky rocket steem up and beyond what we can Imagine!

Scan any of these and it will take you to the post I got the inspiration from! Below are different "design" versions

V2
Basic

Awesome right!

How to make these:

  • The Simple One
    Go to http://www.qrstuff.com , put your link in and generate!
    Tips:
  • Don't change the color from black to others, It will make it harder to scan
  • The Dynamic one means that you can change whenever you want what should that QR Code link to instead of making a new one for each new Link (but that costs)
  • The Fancy One with Logo
    First download the png FilesHerethan go to https://ventipix.com/designer-qr-code-generator.php put your link in, Next, Image style 1st. all colors set to black Transparent Yes/No, Size: 15 -Recommended select image and upload one of the styles I have provided and click Generate!
    Tips:
  • Click the 1 to expand the tab where you can add the link
  • Always use black color
  • Size depends on what you wanna print it/ how to use it, my recommendation is 15 -Normal 30 -Large
  • The app will give you an error if you try to scan it if png. is ticked on(don't worry that's an app issue) also tick png. only if you really need it in png. format (transparent background).

Use: https://webqr.com to test it! (It will display an error if you upload a png. file with transparent background!)

Possible Real World Usage Examples!

Street art

Street Performer

Street Musician
They are promoting steemit while giving people a free way to give them some money!

Haiti 2010 -The Earthquake

Just imagine that someone's simple thumb up could rebuild all this!

Example of humanitarian organizations using steem in natural disasters...

That is a great idea!
Vote or tip by QR code could make this go viral even faster. Thanks for posting all the QR links too.

Thank you!

God I love you. I'm only a baby Beluga, but I support the hell out of your ideas and posts. Only wish I could get more people onboard to love you right away :D

Thank you soo much for the Love!

That's exactly how i can see tipping, sending crypto currencies quickly in an efficient way in the future ! thanks for the read

Your comment is so on point man! I'm glad that you think the same way about this as I do!

Great post! @shortcut brought me here

@minion, this is a great idea. With some imagination, I can see how this can be used in a variety of ways, especially in introducing Steem to people by having the QR code direct them to a post you've written ahead of time. And for added effectiveness, you can include the use of the #craigrant tag. Keep up the good work.

I had similar thoughts on way to ensure donations are being given to person soliciting on behalf of ______. This is next level. Well thought out and well laid out. Nice work

That's what i call an idea. And a good one! 1-up

Fantastic idea (assuming it works). Thanks for doing this.

"assuming it works" and your welcome!

Why shouldn't it? You have never heard about QR Code? If you think it doesn't work, read the post follow the instructions and test it for yourself, you just need any android/ios phone and a free app that can scan QR code...

I think you should chill out. Yes I've heard of QR codes but I don't trust anything until I've tested it myself. Too many scams. You should understand that if you've been in crypto.

Why don't you test it yourself?
I think you might have some how misunderstood the post...?

Great idea Thank you !
