the people that took part today

@chireerocks, @travelling-two, @shawnsporter, @johnspalding, @navaneeth, @dayleeo, @teamhumble

today's question to the adventube squad is about the steem blockchain witnesses, do we know what they do, what does that look like, should we know the in's and out's of what the witness nodes do if we use this platform, do we have an easy way of explaining that to the masses, are they even interested in how something runs or are they just interested in the front of house with the apps and comfort blanket of a lovely UI? -- the truth might probably lay in that we need to have a balance between securing the chain and bringing masses of new and engaged users that stay around for the platform and the buzz of the deployment of similar styled applications that they have already been using.

certainly about time that steem was back in a top ten somewhere on the internet -- https://www.stateofthedapps.com/rankings -- follow the data, get informed, see who's using what technology and get behind those communities.

two years in, the steem blockchain is in a perfect position to pick up the slack of the fall out of the discontent of users fleeing other platforms embroiled in drama from data breaches or demonetization because of the hard line tactics of supposed cost savings or pandering to the needs of the advertisers, in effect, centralized platforms are being sanitized.

from platforms like facebook, tumblr, youtube you can see the constricting effects starting to take hold as marketing departments make snap decisions in an attempt to be relavant and realtime against other platforms that have already built out the tools to deal with the world of the real time opinion, we have an opportunity if we show off our turnkey immutable blockchain and how powerful this collection of people who frequent this chain on a daily basis are.

don't forget you can join the adventube channel over on discord (https://discord.gg/r5vx6Ks) if you want to maintain comms during or after the 31st, we also have a group for accountability for 2019 if your wanna keep your projects on track!)

wow, it was quite the spread of replies today about witnesses, i'm sure witnesses who watch this could position themselves to make some great content for other people to learn from! or maybe that's the point? to make it like the dark arts! :) nerd cred!

Consider these when posting your video

• 16:9 landscape works better for an editor than portrait (but i'll still include it if you make it that way)
• don't watch the others in the day until you have uploaded yours (let your internal voice come through)
• there is no right or wrong way to answer the question
• aim for 1:30 > 3:00 minutes maybe, but if your on a tear, go for it, i'll pick out the awesome stuff
• always think sound quality, be aware of background noise (bad video is fine if the audio is super clean)
• this is an empowerment network, treat it like it's the last node network on planet earth.

thoughts from online chat with frame yesterday

• all things 'blockchain' have left a bad taste in the mouths of marketing teams and investors
• position the new idea around something that public understand (i.e AMA -- ask me anything)
• no more buzz word bingo, just straight facts of what the chain offers regardless if other chains do it better/faster
• maintain something as lean as possible for as long as possible
• how to scale this past 50/100 people in a group
• put together the front end mockup, build a small MVP
