RE: The gloves are off… EOS and Steem are in competition and it’s great news for us
I have seen some Steemit alternatives although developed on ERC20. A bad idea in my humble opinion. The sites and apps are shaddy and actually having it as an ERC20 token basically means it picks up all the negatives of the Ethereum Blockchain such as fees and long transaction waiting times. In other words not good enough to compete with Steem.
Sola is one of the them. The other is Sphere.
There are plenty of attempts, I believe Akasha is another one. None have gained much traction. As you say, building something like Steemit on Ethereum is a non-starter as things currently stand.
Will be interesting to see how long time it will take before even building platforms like Steemit will be easy with some software. How will you still be able to bring many people to one specific place? I like what you said in a video on YouTube that the real currency in our age is Time and Attention.
Since our attention is so valuable we want to get maximum value back in return. Now Steemit is helping us by rewarding our attention with instant value as in upvotes. Since stuff currently stand with being a bit complicated it holds back some progress. But clearly it must be only a time when these things will truly be sped up. What society that will create is going to be interesting to see.
Will read your article you wrote 2 years ago about Steem opening up pandora's box seemed like a high value post by my fast glimpse of it. Thanks for the value!
Steem is only two years old. You can imagine being a trend setter the burden of trial and error falls on Steem. In the next 5-6 years you can only imagine how far Steemit will get if they maintain the same focus and attention. Things can only improve from here.
I've tried Sola and honestly was very put off by it. It's interface and how to browse is just garbage, nothint at all pertaining to my interests so there's that. The random feed when I tried it was just photography images, youtube video embeds and a ton and I mean a TON of cam whores looking to bank on their boobs (or they're catfish, can't tell).
i know sola @deniskj
havent heard of sphere. how does it work? wats the link
It looks a bit like Facebook but personally my opinion of it is that it couldn't look more shady. It is a pass for me. You can see it here. https://sphere.social/
Ok dear. Thanks . Will look into it.
Thanks for sharing
