Project Details

I'm spending endless hours on the Steem Blockchain and love to explain Steem to both newbies (on and off-blockchain) and people who are already familiair with it. There are a lot of different aspects on the Steem Blockchain that are very detailed and I've noticed many people who are for example writing blogs on Steemit for months still have a lot of questions about the way reward distributions, witnesses or Steem Power work. Translating the Steem Whitepaper in my native language (Dutch) is my addition to add to a better understanding of the Steem Blockchain by more people.

Contribution

I translated seven (sub-)chapters from the source language English to Dutch. The chapters I translated today covered the topics of Eliminating Transaction Fees, The Problem With Fees, Micropayments Don’t Work, Fees are a Barrier to Entry, Changing Fees, Sybil Attacks, and Full Reserve vs Fractional Reserve. I translated about 1100 words which were then proofread and approved by @misslasvegas after I corrected mistakes I made. The total translation of the Steem Whitepaper from English to Dutch is now 60% complete.

To be continued

After getting approval for my first submission in the @DaVinci.witness and @Utopian-io translation collaboration I felt motivated to continue my work. I was struggling this time with a specific word, 'fee', which covers many meanings in English but doesn't have one word in Dutch that covers the subject in a similar way. I'm confident the way I solved it in combination with the critical eye of @misslasvegas it reads very well in the context of the whitepaper.

I'm planning on adding at least one more sumbission this week. I will make translating the Steem Whitepaper a big part of my work week next week. My goal is to finish translating the Steem Whitepaper before the end of September.
