RE: Calling Community Developers - Let's Polish The Steemit.com Mothership!
Hi Tim appreciate your reply!
Well I think a simple note on the fact that the whitepaper right now is out of date would be good either on the whitepaper or on the Faq. This was my biggest issue next to the fact that giving feedback should be explained in the faq.
I literally wasted hours on the whitepaper finding out a lot of it doesn't hold up in terms of inflation and power down.
I can only imagine how much time people have spent on trying to understand the system, like I did.
Also unfortunately a lot of the 2016 posts that explain very well how the system works are now out of date, which complicates matters trying to search for answers.
I admit that I should have read the faq though so some of it is my own doing!
I know it gives the date on the whitepaper, but as I made the mistake of reading the whitepaper before investing instead of reading the faq. I made an investment based on wrong info. This is not particulary clear for a new investor.
Maybe it is already in the faq., but it would make a lot of sense to point new investors to @steemitblog.
I got confused by the Steemit inc, I think it would help to explain the different types of investment opportunities rather then explaining Steemit Inc as it confused me (I am easily confused though!
I agree with the point about the confusion for investors. I know they are working on improving it.
From the FAQ though:
It is worth noting that the Whitepaper hasn’t been updated almost since Steem came into existence. Many changes have been made since then, so much of the Whitepaper is now out of date. It is in the process of being rewritten.
