Steemit everywhere (1 SBI giveaway)
Easy peer-to-peer! Steem for fiat
I've recently come across https://swapsteem.com which allows you to list offers for steem and sbd. You can either pay or receive in PayPal. I believe there were other ways to get paid too but, you know, seeing PayPal listed was good enough for me.
While I haven't tried it myself yet, it looks legit so I hope it grows popular. Developed by @swapsteem.

Your new steemit blog (with ads)
There are two apps on the steem blockchain allowing you to power your own blog website for free. Get your steemit blog hosted on @engrave by simply logging in and configuring which tags you want to use.
But the best complement to this is @dclick, which can serve ads for you, so you'll get money just in case someone decides to click whatever advertisement their showing.

Dat Smartsteem algorithm
@ginabot kept notifying of every single vote I got from smartsteem and this really creepy thing stood out: you'll get votes from @smartmarket and @therealwolf first, then a selection of upvotes, but in an order where it starts from $0.03 and slowly increased by an average of 0.01 on each upvote.
The weight of an upvote, how early it comes and how many people upvoted before you are the set of verifications steem makes to decide how much in curation you're going to get.
An upvote seller usually doesn't control when upvotes can be bought, but it still leaves two of those vital informations in smartsteem's hands: who is going to upvote and by how much.
Basically, if you set a strong vote early in the upvote chain then a lot of crappy votes right afterwards, you're maximizing how much you can get from that post in particular. This is why some people claim @smartsteem only exists to make money for @therealwolf. Eh, considering the approach of all of it's alternatives, I guess it's true.

The original logo is lazy, but... Well, it works.
HARDFORK 21 SUCKS
No matter how much you speculate, the coming update truly favors only two certain types of steemian while it takes away from everyone else.
Do bid bots lose? Yes. Authors? Yes. Curators? Yes... But then who is going to get anything!? The answer to this question might be easier and more disturbing than it seemed.
Curation trail owners and high steem power circlejerkers. Or even worse, curation trail / circlejerk sellers! (cough @qurator and @smartsteem soverignity cough oh and fuck their competition cough cough)
By the way, don't listen to anyone who says curation doesn't pay. It's a much easier job than most people think and it can easily pay over 100% of the value of your own upvote.

Codename: bullshit
Exitscam reminder
Do not delegate to apps if you can't immediately get something to back up their promises. We got exitscammed by @dlive and @magicdice already. This hurts the whole blockchain. Be responsible with your Steem Power.

Why basic income crypto currencies will never work out
My thoughts about basic income crypto currencies

You've won 1 sbi!
True, it makes it much easier.
Do you know anyone using the ads on their steemit blogs? It could be worth checking out. Also could someone maybe explain the smartsteem thing to me? I thought it was just buying and selling votes... I don't really understand how it works/your objections.
Me, every single time. I wish I'd get more clicks, tho :P You can use dclick on any website, so you can earn steem even on places not related to steem itself. Smartsteem heavily favors curation rewards to the website owner.
There is so much fomo going on right now .. I want to see more than fear motivated investing - we need more practical and calculated investment opportunities.
I dread hf21, but we'll all get used to it. Best not to complain, but to figure out how to weather this change and make the best decisions we can.

Thanks for the explanation about Smartsteem. I had my suspicions but this confirms it.
I would dare say HF21 is built specifically for him.
😂
I'm not even kidding.
Huh. What's the new update going to be doing? I haven't really followed anything lately.

Currently, authors get 75% of a post's rewards while 25% goes to curators. The split will be 50-50 in HF21.
Well that sounds like a horrible idea. How would low SP steemians get anything? Is the idea that more people would vote more often, so that would counterbalance the 25% loss? Because I feel like that would only work if they also change how quickly voting power recharges.
Exactly...
Well hopefully enough witnesses agree with us

Interesting read. I'm not sure about Engrave. What if it gets hacked? What platform is it built on?
What I meant is it's an app built directly on top of the steem blockchain in which you login using steemconnect. So it's safe as it gets on this blockchain.
Oh, okay. Cool. :-)
Your balance is below $0.3. Your account is running low and should be replenished. You have roughly 10 more @dustsweeper votes. Check out the Dustsweeper FAQ here: https://steemit.com/dustsweeper/@dustsweeper/dustsweeper-faq
Eh, it's on steem. @engrave
You win this sbi!![](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXZGbbdfe7jaRhcKFcu99gyjTNqwgEvNuMuM48wANwFxs/image.png)
