THE 7 GREATEST STEEMIANS WHO HAVE HELPED "OPEN-SOURCE" GROW ON STEEM BLOCKCHAIN & THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS
HELLO FRIEND,
The Steem blockchain has made Open-source projects a very lucrative thing to get involved in. Via Steemit, its first condenser the ideology has been pushed further. There have been people who have been working behind the scenes to make this a success. Apart from @ned, the founder and CEO of Steemit and @dan the creator of the blockchain, there are many other hardworking people.
So I present you The 7 Greatest Steemians who have contributed to open-source and the jobs they have done on the blockchain. Let's go!*
1 @GOOD-KARMA - eSTEEM APP.
On the top this list is the honourable GoodKarma. He built the first and only app for accessing Steemit. He has also built STeemPoll, SteemMonitor and even STeemFest apps.

ESTEEM APP:
eSteem is social application where you get paid for blogging, commenting and curating.
USES OF ESTEEM APP:
- You find and read articles in any area of interest.
- You can comment on posts you enjoyed and engage with authors.
- You can vote for posts to reward author and earn curation rewards.
- You can post your own articles, stories, poems, art, photograohy etc for free. You also earn rewards by engaging and gain followers.
- Its on your mobile so you can write and post from anywhere in the world. If you don't want to post yet, you can save as draft.
- Bookmark favorite articles to read later.
- YOu can transfer, save or exchange your earnings in the market etc.
- Follow anyone you enjoy their work.
- Search and quickly find anyone on the platform including your followers and followings.
- Notifications are a loved feature of mobile apps. You can stay in touch with mentions, comments on your posts, new followers etc.
- Set up your blog profile.
- Its very secure in that app has no access to your funds and does not store your passwords and keys on server.
- You can get it on Android/IOS Appstores. ENJOY!
2 @ELEAR - UTOPIAN.io
This is one of my most beloved. He is indeed a generous man because only such people can think of a way to help people this way. Via Utopian.io he is able to reward all those who contribute to open source projects effortlessly.

SUMMARY: He's a DOLPHIN
UTOPIAN.io:
Utopian is a platform also based on the steem-blockchain. It was forked from busy.org in terms of development. The aim is to reward open-source contributors.
USES OF UTOPIAN-IO:
- Its interface is just like busy.org with some additional features.
- You use it to make posts, comment on posts, upvote posts and explore to interact with other authors on Utopian.io
- You can contribute to open-source via the following means:
- Blog posts
- Suggestions
- Tutorials
- Video Tutorials
- ETC
- After your contribution, it takes 24-48hrs for a moderator to come and read your work.
- If your work meets certain criteria (RULES) they approve it. If it doesn't they may ask you to edit it or you try again altogether.
- When its approved, it may take about 12hrs before the @utopian-io bot account comes around to upvot your post. The bot votes based on what other people have done. So the more active followers you have (who upvoted your posts), the more upvotes you get. It has 4million Delegated Steem Power so its maximum 100% upvote may be worth around $300 SBD. I have observed it giving between 3%, 5%, 7%, 10% 15%, 20%, 25% generally around that.
- After that, your post now appears on the timeline for Utopians to visualize and interact with it.
- ENJOY!
3 @EKITCHO, \
4 @FABIEN / - BUSY.ORG
These 2 young men created busy.org. My joy is that they are a team working together to bring to reality a beloved interface for the assessment of the STEEM BLOCKCHAIN.

BUSY.ORG:
BUSY.ORG is another interface for using Steemit. It simplifies Steemit and makes it more interactive
ADDITIONAL USES OF BUSY.ORG:
- It makes it easier to onboard previous Facebook users with the like buttons, easy navigation, bold images, etcz
- The Busy Bot upvotes anyone who posts via the site and uses the #Busy tag (once in 24hrs)
- The wallet has an incorporated graph in it. Very cool.
- Activity log just like other popular social platforms.
- Beautiful and enhanced upvote slider that even displays amount of upvote.
- Advanced profile display with many more cool features eg clickable photos, Voting power display, date of joining (including particular day), Level (plankton, dolphin, orca, whales ). etcz.
- Its still a work in progress because its in Beta!
- If they produce an app for it that would be superb.
- ENJOY!
5 @JESTA - CHAINbb
ChainBB is a forum-style gateway to the STEEM blockchain, created by the one and only @jesta. He has his way of helping people especially developers. I would also say that his anonymity is quite important to him.

6 @HEIMINDANGER - DTUBE
Just this August, @heimindanger announced his idea to replace the YOUTUBE interface with a decentralized alternative which he called D-TUBE. The "D" in the name represents "DECENTRALIZED". This boycotts most of the challenges faced by Youtubers ranging from censorship to low earnings.

SUMMARY: He's a MINNOW (Actually no! He's powering down. Don't know why).
D-TUBE:
D-TUBE is the first decentralized video management platform. Just like Youtube, D-tube allows you to upload, edit, cut and post your videos to other users. However, unlike Youtube, you get paid for it directly without need for third party adverts on your videos.
USES OF D-TUBE:
- Post videos of your choosing
- You must have registered on STeemit to use it
- You can edit videos to suit your desires.
- You earn money in SBD for your videos immediately.
- There's no censorship so you can post whatever you like. ONLY do not plagiarize or copy another's video to post shamelessly.
- It has provided a competitive advantage to users.
- ENJOY!
7 @THEDEGENSLOTH - ZAPPL
@thedegensloth is sitting comfortably as the CEO of Zappl - the first and only microblogging user interface built on the STEEM BLOCKCHAIN. There you have access to 280 characters unlike Twitter of 140 characters. ANd you get to earn. Use it wisely!

FOLLOWERS: 650+
STEEM POWER: 125+ (uniquely very low for a person handling such a project).
DEL. SP: NIL
REPUTATION: 59
SUMMARY: He's a MINNOW by definition.
ZAPPL:
Zappl is a place where you Zapp it! Whatever it is you have in your mind, you should come on the platform and express it in 280 characters. People argue that it may lead to othere dumping *crap* on the blockchain but it has been found to actually help steemians express themselves in the fewest words possible
USES OF ZAPPL
- You can make short posts which still appear on Steemit/Busy.org
- You use it when you are not feeling like typing long articles
- You can find other people who are on Zappl and follow them
- You get upvotes/ upzaps like I choose to call it.
- You can rezap a zap by another user
- You get an activity log, access to your wallet, and follower statistics.
- You can also upload images to accompany your posts.
- We are also expecting their app soon.
- ENJOY!
Just looking at these profiles, I feel so motivated to do great things on this platform and beyond. Hope you find motivation too. Cheers!

Hi! Nice article (saw your mention thanks to steemify)
I am definatly a minnow, I have more SP than I ever had. I keep powering down because I like having some liquidities, but I power it back up whenever I have too much.
And by the way I am not a witness, I mined a few blocks for fun when I first joined steem but then stopped. I'd rather focus on development rather that running costly servers :)
Okay Sir. I now understand you. But either way, you are still a very great man. I appreciate your efforts on the Steem Blockchain. I'll say you have the heart of a whale!
I wish you and all of us goodluck in the Zappl project! Cheers!
