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 four (sub-)chapters from the source language English to Dutch. The chapters I translated today covered the topics of Censorship, Solving Organic Discovery via Search Engine Optimization, Shifting Toward Blockchain-based Attribution, and Replacing Advertising with Blockchain-based Content Rewards. I also went back in the whitepaper since parts of it were translated before by a Dutch colleague @minersean. I wanted to make sure that no inconsistencies were found and replaced a few translations with others that match the parts I translated. I translated about 1300 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 100% complete.

Some final words

My goal was to finish translating the Steem Whitepaper before the end of September. Thanks to some HardFork issues I'm posting my report about a day later, but I translated indeed the whitepaper withing the goals I had set for myself.

This was my first DaVinci/Utopian translation project. A challenging one at times, but overall a lot of fun and a very educational experience. I've enjoyed working together with @misslasvegas who works hard and is precise and respectful in her feedback when needed. I believe the people one works with is the best predictor of how fun it is to do the work, any work, and since I have no complaints there I see myself doing many more projects as a translator in the coming months.
