I love the feature, just wish it used custom JSON rather than transfers.

I shouldn't have to use my active key to participate in a poll.

Edit: Thank you Dan for your comment!
You don't actually use Active key to participate. Only Posting key to cast a vote and that is locally signed transaction with steem.js library. How it works is that, after filling form on http://steempoll.esteem.ws you will get memo and min amount 0.010 SBD send to @steempoll and sending it whichever way is user's choice. For now user has to send fund to finalize publishing, this is against spams and abuse. So they can use Steemit.com for transfer and they can even use Steemit.com for voting, please check @steempoll account posts for example. It is designed so that any front-end on Steem can have access to poll as form of Post, new users don't have vote weight controller so they can cast a vote easily on steempoll website.
How would I use custom_json to reach most users, please elaborate?

If I'm not mistaken, custom_json can be used to suck up arbitrary JSON, and any user can write to custom_json. But I think that there was some complication to this. I'll let you know if I recall.

Wonderfull project!

Thank you brother! Appreciate the support ;)

Great idea! If I ever have to vote, I'll definitely be partaking to the process quite gladly. All for one and one for all! Namaste :)

Maybe will I use it for professional purposes one day. This may advertise steemit to colleagues :)

Great thanks! I will sure to know when you do :)

The only issue is that I need to bring coworkers on steemit first. For various reasons, this has not worked well so far.

Thank you @stephenkendal, Appreciate the support! ;)

You are very welcome. Stephen

This is an awesome implementation - well thought out. Checking it out now before further feedback! Thanks for doing this.

Nothing that I would change atm - just a small display error here (Chrome, desktop)

Looking at the example poll about predicting the price of STEEM one year down the road, I'm suddenly reminded of prediction market implementations like Augur's REP. Is this possible with STEEM? Not sure about the technicalities, but seemed to be just an extra layer on top of polls.. (i might be simplifying too much)

Hi, Thank you Kevin! Yes, spacing is fixed now. You are right, that's one possible usage Wisdom of the Crowd (Augur like). Although afaik, "Augur more like betting application and winner side receives stake of losing side" application closer to SteemSports, I suppose. But it is totally possible to extend project to cover stake based with payouts.

That'll be awesome :) By the way, @steempoll's posts doesn't show any polling results (or link to the polling results)

Yes, I have just made changes so that it will include link to steempoll website to view results from now on. I mean in future polls it will have link in post body.

Cool Idea man!!

Thank you! I noticed that you are JS developer, feel free to join development ;)

Top notch poll'ery!!

You always do great work @good-karma. I hope you never stop!

Appreciate the compliments, will try ;)

As long as you enjoy doing it, and you will have my full support

Nice! I've been lobbying for a poll system for a while now, it's great that someone is actually getting started on that.
I'd do an UP on the voting according to stake and not having to use the private keys . Maybe something counting the rshares on comments with the poll options? just sain'
Great work Feruz!

Thanks, yes poll can have option where outcome determined by stake, it is there but not enabled yet. For initial phase, by vote makes more sense to give everyone a voice and am working on enabling by stake option as well. ;)
