Utopian: I have Just Left a 13K/Month Job For Making This Real.
You know guys I am a dreamer. I had so many projects in my mind and never really had the courage to push one the hard way. That's not the case with Utopian.io. I really believe in this project and I met so many people excited about this during the SteemFest and outside that I finally decided to make the big step.
I am a freelancer and I have been working in Germany for almost one year now for one of the biggest energy companies being paid up to 13K a month.
I have just sent the company my final notice and left the job.
Why?
Utopian.io is eating all my time, I get so many messages, so many things to do, so many ideas that I am overwhelmed by all of this and so excited.
Utopian.io is just a proof of concept and it is not going to become a fully functional product without me being on it 100%.
I do really believe in what I am doing and I'll follow this path with all my strength and giving to it my entire time, investments and mental work.
The Vision
Utopian.io is going to be the platform where Open Source projects come to life, where existing ones get promoted and where everyone is rewarded in a real meritocratic way.
Utopian.io wants to change how "get paid for what you do" works in our World and give to everybody the opportunity to get rewarded for the real value they bring.
Utopian.io is a shared economy from which everyone will benefit IMMEDIATELY.
Utopian.io is:
The Only Utopia Made Reality!
It's Already happening
- @stoodkev is working on a better bot.
- @Nelsonm will redesign the entire platform to make it valuable for project owners, the hard way.
- @mkt has almost finished the landing. I requested for some changes.
- @mkt and @auliausu will work on a weekly newsletter that will show the best projects and the best active contributions. The weekly newsletter will be directly published by the official @utopian-io account.
- I am working on the chrome extension to bring Utopian into Github and soon delegate that to someone else for refactoring the code and replicating it for Firefox.
- And we are going to spin-off the platform to serve a wider Open Source audience....stay tuned.
Thanks For The Support

You can add me to the sponsor list!! I just delegated 5000SP. Let's stay in touch. I manage the bitshares-ui repo and am implementing bounties in a manual way at the moment. What I'd really like to do is be able to assign bounties per issue and then pay the bounty automatically once the issue has been accepted and closed with a merge. I'm hoping that you are able to build towards that type of functionality.
Thank you so much @billbutler! You are there already https://utopian.io/sponsors
Am sorry, i just love to snoop around when great minds commune maybe i will get my own silver-lining out of their discuss....thanks for the suppprt for Utopian.io @billtubulter
Hey Bill @billbutler! I am wondering how can I make some spanish translation to the bitshares wallet? I think it is needed to share more Bitshares into the spanish crypto-community. Cheers!
This is fascinating to see a lot of whales pushing this project. It is viable and thanks to steemit making all this possible.
Got to look at this.
Keep on steemit.
You go man. I think that you've had the million dollar idea right there and anyone who hears about it knows that it's brilliant. It all comes down to implementation from here on.
Fortunately, now you have a way to incentivize people to contribute to your project and crowdsource design, marketing budget and everything else you need to make it a reality.
What I'm most excited about will be the possibility to buy your SMT, the utopian token will be the token that powers the open source world! I'll make sure to buy a big load of them when they come out.
Same here! Had the exact same idea, just found out about https://utopian.io/ 10 minutes ago via a friend. This is MEGA!
Thank you @cryptoctopus. You know this would not be here without your early support! THANK YOU
Woah... A Utopian token is on the table?! I'd be all in for that.
what wrong with you..you are very stupid person.. why you downvoted my posts.. what did wrong with you.. where i commented and followed you.. you are very stupid person.. you are scammer.. who given you reputation No. 72.. you not deserver for it.. I will downvoted your all posts.. wait i getting steempower for 8 weeks lets see what happened to you
You're just making all kinds of friends around here aren't you? Did you ever stop and think that maybe the reason people are downvoting your comments and posts is because YOU are the one doing something wrong? You went and picked a fight with me (which you can't win), and now you are at it with another member. My friend, you need to take a step back and take a serious look at your approach here.
They never learn > : )
This guy is totally out of control. He's following myself and other members around and downvoting all of our posts and comments, making snide remarks and hurling insults, etc.
It all stemmed from myself and other members asking him not to go around and spam and beg for votes and follows in all of his comments. Well, when he persisted, the inevitable happened - we downvoted his spam comments.
His main issue (among many), is that he has gotten himself downvoted into oblivion. He now has a rep of "1" and doesn't seem to understand that downvoting members who are almost at "60" and above has virtually no effect. However, on the flip side, when WE downvote him, his posts and comments go POOF and DISAPPEAR!
Hopefully, he understands that we are reasonable people, and if he stops harassing us, he will no longer have to worry about every post and comment he makes being hidden.
If he is reading this comment right now, hopefully he gets the message loud and clear.
I am not much of a developper but I am an Entrepreneur and your platform can help us to find:
The Right Person for The Right project at The Right Price
I think what you developped is amazing and is what Blockchain and
Cryptos are all about: CUT THE MIDDLE MAN!
It allows all of us to reach higher and as you know Sky is the Limit!
I don't really know you but I have been following your project and I am sure you are going to suceed!
I can only wish you Good Luck (and give you a friendly Hug :) ).
Take care @elear.
I'm actually seeing more potential in utopian than on steemit! It has a lot of growth potential and definitely catches a big niche!
Congratulations!!! Time and focus are key. I'm sure it feels like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders.
Great job @elear
Cool! Keep up the good work of you!
Thanks for your dedication. :)
Strong and Enormous Decision Man.
Wish you Best of Luck.
These type of contributions are changing the tech.
Congrats to your new dream @elear. I know exactly what you mean. I took a week off to get the translations done to contribute. We will make Utopian work.
Thats it @elear turn the stage upside down.. we will do our best. Start to free that hurricane thats in your hand ..
