RE: ShadowBot and ShadowChat Merging March 1st, 2018!
There is already a chat room on blockchain. steemit.chat . Shadowbot can make a room there or in discord. What is the benefits of making separate chat site?
you can see here original post: shadowbot-preparing-for-launch-of-shadow-chat
and more has been said since then, but primarily the benefit would be that less fraud is happening from fake accounts on the chat copying the names of someone's account on steem. This should be obvious but people you talk to on rocket.chat are not always who they say they are, and many people fall for scams from trusting the use of a chat that isn't actually linked to steem in any way.
As an example, here is one of many instances of someone finding scammers on steemit.chat: https://steemit.com/scam/@fuzzyvest/the-false-fuzzy-on-steemit-chat
I can surely understand that ! Its a valid point!, however there is also the need of the hour that the existing system functions properly and the users who are contributing are benefited as well. So in short, the current system's proper functionality is the priority and need of the hour!!!
Shadow Rank boosts are calculated once per week, but that does not mean every caster each week receives a boost. Shadow Rank is used as a balance based on your performance outside ShadowBot relative to how much ShadowBot provides to you. As we scale in users, the ability to earn Shadow Rank will continue to get harder since we are shifting to a priority on re-investing in your Steem Power for growing pool priority. Those who build up and earn and then re-invest their earnings into Steem Power will see the biggest benefit in the coming months from ShadowBot.
Steemit.chat is not a blockchain based chat system. You make a separate username and password and it has nothing to do with the steem blockchain and is also a centralized program that is controlled by the founders of it. Shadowchat won't have that sort of over site and control. Also most importantly you can up vote people's chat messages a huge feature that isn't part of steemit.chat because like I said it isn't built on the steem blockchain. Steemtools.com has every steem tool made so far and the only two real time chat programs are practically irc channels with slightly better user interfaces. All centralized closed source programs top to bottom.
Well steemtools.com has a very vast library of all the steem applications made. They do rely on developers or users to add the tool to their library so I'm sure they are missing some. Even though there is probly over 100 tools there.
You're so nice for commenting on this post. For that, I gave you a vote! I just ask for a Follow in return!
As others pointed out, we are building a real time chat that will be published and verifiable by the steem blockchain, this currently does not exist to our knowledge and will also open up our future protocols that will allow notifications and many other features to be built on top of the steem blockchain that steemit.com does not support.
