Description
Learn about Utopian.io and how it can help contributors
Open Source software has always been associated with voluntary work by individuals across the world who don't necessarily get paid for all their efforts. These individuals selflessly dedicate their time and effort in the development of software that runs on practically any device and application you can think of. Utopian is building an open source economy, in which the people who make valuable contributions to Open Source projects get rewarded for their hard work.
Learn about the Steem blockchain and how it relates to Utopian
Utopian is built on the Steem blockchain which uses a unique Proof-of-Brain algorithm that utilizes the wisdom of the crowd to reward individuals who make valuable contributions to their respective communities. Its native currency is STEEM, which can easily be exchanged for other cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Utopian uses the STEEM token currency to reward contributors for their Open Source work. All are welcome to join the Utopian community as contributors and each contributor can find their own unique involvement within Utopian.
Learn Utopian's categories and the rules associated with each
In general, any original work that adds value to an Open Source project can be shared through Utopian.io. Utopian has a set of categories into which you can post yoursubmissions. These include:
Suggestions
Development
Bug Hunting
Translation
Graphics
Analysis
Visibility
Documentation
Tutorials
Video Tutorials
Copywriting
This list is not final and more categories may be added.
Learn about Utopian's moderation team and their role
Utopian has a team of Moderators who are tasked with reviewing all contributions. Moderators insure that all contributions follow the rules set down by Utopian and Open Source Project Owners. Once you have submitted your contribution the Utopian moderation team will get to work reviewing your submission to insure that adheres to the rules of the category you have selected.
Learn how rewards are determined for contributions
Members of the Utopian community get to decide how rewards are distributed through upvoting accepted contributions.
As your contributions are upvoted by community members, they express their level of satisfaction with your work and their perception of the value it brings to the project. Posts that receive higher rewards indicate a difference in value, or difficulty of work as judged by the community.
Quality is what matters most on Utopian. Project owners appreciate useful contributions that solve problems and move their projects forward, so quality contributions will get noticed and rewarded. Always submitting your best work is the best way to earn the respect of your peers and earn more for your contributions.
I hope you enjoy this tutorial. If you have any specific questions for me feel free to leave it in the comments of this post and I will do my best to get back to you with an answer.
Cheers,
