RE: Witness "pjau" Update Week 38
I thought it did, too, although there was a very noticeable amount of copied questions going on. Answers, not so much, but still some. People were complaining about it, and I was thinking, well, okay, just don't answer the question and move on. Or report it on the discord channel.
I think musing's main issue is sustainability. I think that's the main issue with all dApps. How do they make money? Right now, the only ways to do that is to require/ask and get beneficiary cuts from user earnings, pump out regular posts and upvote user content. Delegation isn't liquid STEEM or SBD, and if you're trying to pay someone in it for the work they're doing (ie devs, curators), it's tough.
I'm surprised the dApps we do have are even around, frankly, regardless of the size of the delegation. But, hey, what do I know. :) STEEM Monsters has you buying cards (not upvoting them), and they are reportedly doing okay. So, it will interesting moving forward to see how this all manages to be profitable (especially in a bear market).
Sounds like they need a merge questions feature. Or maybe a way for it to search similar questions as you are creating a question.
They could probably add a promoted questions feature to boost the visability of them. Other than that, i don't know. What is the beneficiary set to? 10%? That seems to be the go to amount.
Both very good ideas, and someone (not me) suggested them. At this stage, I'm not sure how much will be done to improve the question interface.
I agree, 10% seems to be the going amount.
See, nothing shows up on Steemit in feeds, except as comments with links on people's personal blogs. So, basically, by trying to keep everyone on musing, they weren't really building a bridge to it. I found out because someone I follow wrote about their experience, highly recommended it to me, and so I went to check it out. And musing got the delegation, they were curating (and doing a decent job of it, not just throwing upvotes willy nilly), so it was a good thing for a user, I thought.
Not so good for them.
