RE: Steemit Engagement Challenge Week # 4 | Propose A New Steemit Project| Steem Burn by @rosz
My autovoter is set to double its vote if people have a beneficiary setting for @null.
Peripherally related: are you aware that promoted posts don't seem to be working? I'd be a fan of bringing back the /promoted feed as another way to encourage more burning, too.
Update/Correction: /promoted actually is working, Not sure what I did wrong before, but I just tried again now and it worked (maybe there's a minimum amount that I wasn't aware of)? So, curators can also encourage burning by curating posts there. (the original announcement was here.)
I wonder if there is a minimum threshold and I might experiment with a few posts to see if/what it is.
The "contest" between a percentage beneficiary vs. a SBD value is an interesting one. Especially as a $2.59 transfer trumps a 25% beneficiary + $2.55 transfer. In fact, this almost certainly means that the beneficiary doesn't get promoted at all and it's purely the SBD - as can be seen by @nadiaturrina's post. Which makes sense because beneficiaries aren't mentioned in the announcement post. I could delete this entire paragraph but I won't 😆
The original announcement is also interesting in how heavily the "downvote" is promoted in order to "control garbage" too. That mentality has very much moved to Hive.
The question now is... if users follow steemcurator01's approach of setting a 25% burn beneficiary and use #burnsteem25 then their posts won't appear on the /promoted page (which I love the concept of and think that it should be... promoted). So could / should users also transfer SBD - which if sc01 starts upvoting, turns @null and sc01 into a voting bot 😆
I'll watch with interest. I've already created a webpage that monitors certain beneficiaries so it'll be interesting to see how sc01's comment influences behaviour.
Experiment complete.
There is no minimum but the formatting of the transfer is crucial.
It needs to be
@username/post
No introduction slash, no community, nothing extra. Otherwise it doesn't appear.
And then, as the announcement says, it's ordered by the amount bring burned.
It's a shame very few people know about this page otherwise the "Promoted" page could become quite interesting. I might start visiting it more regularly 🙂
IIRC at one point there was a button at the bottom of every post with all the sharing options so that we could promote a post without knowing anything about that memo formatting. I have often wondered why they took that away.
It was gone before my time but the announcement post certainly suggests that it was there at some point. Perhaps a little trawl of some archives will tell me why...
Thanks for the the original announcement link, @remlaps
By the way, I have posted a post and set 25% beneficiary to @null. Here is the link:
Hopefully, the initiative will raise the price of Steem again. Together we can! Let's give our best to Steem and Steemit Together!
