Was Steempublishing not approved? An update how to go further.

![]()

In a previous post I made a proposal how to create a platform for publishing books made out of Steemit articles. I expressly stated that I would consider an upvote by a whale as a non-written approval of that proposal by the owners of Steemit. Such a vote did not come, despite 117 votes in total (so the community liked the idea) and a call from Screenname. 

What does this mean? Did the owners of Steemit disapprove with all of my ideas or only part of it? The peculiar thing is that my seminal post with the idea was upvoted by dantheman himself. The more detailed proposal mentioned above was not upvoted by any whale.

Some people reacted by stating that I should be careful not to use the tradename Steemit in the name, so I changed it to Steempublishing. Apparently that didn't do the trick either.

So what shall I do? Shall I abandon the idea and hope someone more persuasive will pick it up, or shall I continue with this idea and give it a different name, for instance in Dutch, something like "Uitgeverij Stoomboot" with a wink to the Dutch tradition of Saint Nicholas who arrives every year in his steamboat in the Netherlands and Belgium to give presents to the children.

Tell me what you think of it, every idea is welcome. And indicate if you wish me to abandon or continue this project.

If you like it please upvote or resteem. Thank you for your support.
