RE: SteemQ has been cancelled : We need to stop upvoting charlatans !!
Ok, first things first, lets get the ponzi business out of the way.
I have been under a lot of pressure lately, and during one of the big market corrections I've started labeling every coin as a ponzi or a scam, indiscriminately (for a day or two). This is pretty stupid of me.
And a good lesson as well, to see how everything one says and does can be cherry-picked and used against in a constructed narrative.
Now to the good part - SteemQ. The idea was conceived 9 months ago, but hasn't received a lot of traction - until now. 3 weeks ago I've quit my job and cancelled all of the commitments, and currently, this is the only project that I'm actively pursuing. We are now a team of 6, and I am happy to say that this is the best team I've had a chance to be part of to date.
As far as SteemQ goes, its being re-branded, re-designed and re-thought. We will be announcing the re-brand, and the first draft of the new website next week.
Many of the original ideas turned out to be non-viable, and new challenges have been discovered. We are currently working on proposals outlining potential solutions to said problems. Based on feedback and new learnings, we will be publishing 2 whitepapers, to address the two largest challenges we face with this project.
All of the code will be open-source, and MIT licensed, so technically, anyone will be able to use it for their own work.
I'm sorry but I'm not buying this explanation. You've explained to me clearly why you think the steem economic model is not scalable, that it needs investors to pour money in to stay afloat, that investors are only making whales richer, that content creators gets paid pennies and that a viable economic system is a model where the money flows from the end user to the content creator, didn't you say that?
And please refrain from teasing people unless you have something real to show. Also be more honest about your project, if the project doesn't involve steem at all be straight up about it. Don't beat around the bush like you did in your recents posts with your hypothetical scenarios. Again, if you are building your site on furioncoin be open and straightforward about it.
I must say, I'm really disappointed @furion, I have always looked up to you on this platform, and I really hope you are pushing ahead with this and that your lack of replies just reflected your busy lifestyle.
When you say SteemQ has been re-branded, re-designed and re-thought, does that include how you will host the video?
I hope this comes to fruition, and hope that you do have a belief in the system...

We are working on a marketplace model to create an incentive system for long term storage of high quality content. It differs from Filecoin, such that viewers don't have to pay for bandwidth (or require an account of any sort to stream the videos).
OK, thanks for the answer; I'm reserving judgement, like I said; I've looked up to you from very early on. I hope you have something to show soon...
Cg
how long until it comes out? i really need this as a job plz
Thanks for the anticipation idea...
@furion is now one of the top curators and heavily invested...hard to believe he once called it ponzi.
