why dont we try to list each problem and offer potential solutions? Ned's one person, how is he going to solve things on his own, or even with a 15 person team?
waiting for the next big thing versus working on what's there does not sit well with me. I look forward to seeing EOS and what apps will be able to do.
There have been discussions going on all over the steemit, you could see people discussing the problem of bots, whales, visibility and sbd peg, no one fucking care to take them into account. The witness got their solid votes from big investors no one could do a shit regarding it. If a fork happens which empowers minnows it would definitely be declined by witnesses. EOS/DAN are the only way out :)
@tanishqyeverma
I am with you on the problems and inherent flaws of the current ecosystem. I just don't feel that, as a community, we should give up. If we do not see "things being addressed", it does not necessary mean nothing is getting done. What would have happened to BTC if the early developers gave up 2 years into it? Correct me if I am wrong but in the early years of BTC no one was getting anywhere fair value for the hours spent. It is all a social experiment at this stage! Have you tried to talk to @andrarchy by any chance?
I am currently working on a project called Imageconomy, which will bring high quality content onto steemit. We have a landing page (imageconomy.com) and are working on our app. I know of a lot of other projects, over 200 of them, being built on this platform. We have to keep building and if it does not work out, the communities can move over to a new chain that best suits their needs. seems like a natural evolution.
I tell you man decentralisation was all about volunteerism, I know that and I tried taking some steps towards it and didn't want to give up, until I got to know that steemit is far away from decentralisation. I was happy that we would be having something like SMTs where we could have projects like imageconomy.com Tripadvisor, lynda and what not. Every content website could have been shifted on this chain. But fuck it man, seriously people have ideas/suggestion and want to work towards creating something good but when no one listens to them all energy goes down the gutter. When people stop working as community and CEO starts to ignore the pain points, people starts giving up.
The reality of Steem community is people want to earn something that's why we all are here, people are posting crap comments every day in order to gain some visibility, they know working with communities and tribe will help them leaving their job or whatever the fuck they want. But who is helping, are you, is @ned thinking about supporting the fucking community?. He got like 51% of Steem stake with him if he starts supporting different communities like picture, fiction, travel, history, design etc. The real content creators won't look at any other fucking project and forever stay here. They all are fucking dependent on Steemit god and goddess who luckily got the chance to know about steemit and take dem selves as the owner of project. I am not saying everyone is the same but most are.
I am happy that you launching your project and hope it goes well. Hope all other 200 projects around steemit goes well. I still think SMTs could create wonders, but that would need a lot of delegation to empower such projects and communities. Sorry but I don't see that, people supports bots here, they are happy earning money like everyday delegating to them and who won't? Even if I had that amount of SP, I would have done the same. The problem is in the core of the system which could only we taken care by core members of STEEMIT INC. @ned needs to come in front and start addressing the issues. Just look at him man, it's going to be like 30 days and we don't have any update from steemit inc, he is inactive most of the time. And just at @dan on other hand, working on launching of block.one, addresses community like fucking everyday, take suggestion work along with cause he fucking know whatever he is today is because of the people around him.
Man I hope everything goes well, no didn't know anything about @andrarchy, if he working towards creating value for Steem then we need more people like him to stop the platform from sinking.
Fully understood. I am not making excuses for anyone here. Ned should be more active, or at least rely on a team who can do so.
Definitely let's find a way to get to @andrarchy since I am pretty sure that it is part of his new role.
Okay but I am not interested anymore @liotap, I am just tired of messaging people asking to know things and look like a fool :)
