RE: An open-ended question to @ned and @dan
I have been here for more than a year, posting, commenting and curating, encouraging newbies, organised Steemit meetups....but finally decided to power down and call it a day. I only hope thete will be somrthing to trade in the next 13 weeks...I have put in a lot of work for that SP. Would like to get something out
The pressure has to be raised against Steemit. They are either going to fix it, or they are going to lose their userbase and position in the market cap ladder, very quickly. By userbase I also include developers and node operators, who are being shafted the hardest.
They not hurting, so no big incentive.
I doubt that is true. If it's not gonna be the only game in town soon, doubly so.
Is Status not something similar? https://blog.status.im/tagged/introduction
it looks similar but being hitched to the ethereum horse is a bad idea imo. ethereum is going to hit scalability problems in the future and this issue is central in guiding my design.
I also am completely against virtual machines. Interpretive languages, well, for now thanks to browsers we are stuck with that but I hope in the future fully native app frameworks will emerge. This will be a later element.
Also, to be clear, steem type rewards for development contributions are the central defining feature of DIV. Nobody has had this idea. The forum is a necessary part because a dev platform needs issue trackers, and from there you go to wiki, and media hosting/monetisation...
@elfspice you are thinking on a different plane to me {smile}... 39 years of I.T. and I am tech'ed out. Was really hoping Steemit was the answer to setting me free ...{shrug}
It's like 90% of the answer. The rest just lies in taking the same peer review scheme to monetise all content creation including code, and strong anti-game systems for proof of service for such as hosting media. Basically, pay everyone for any valued service, even if they say ''it can't be done.'' Proof of service is an example of this. It requires multiple strategies to prevent mischief, but I'm quite sure it can be done.
Sorry, while we talking..your opinion on Waves? I like them and have been investing there for a while now.... your thoughts would be appreciated.
I know nothing about waves. quickly looks - oh, it's basically a system for creating custom tokens. Looks pretty cool. it's really a limited purpose but that can be good sometimes. generalised solutions can be too complex.
Its also run by guys who have Russian Feds behind them, or so is the general opinion in Russian crypto space. While it might not be true, they also calling their thing the DEX (but with centralized matcher). :>
Sorry, are you talking about Waves here?
