Announcing the Development of a Smart Media Token (SMT) to Support Community Curation

in announcements •  7 years ago  (edited)

Seedlings CC by Longlabcomms.jpg

Creators of good content and projects continue to have trouble finding adequate voting power on Steem/it. With the development of Smart Media Tokens (SMTs), expected later this year, communities have an opportunity for an alternate source of support. Today, I announce that I will begin raising funds at @communitycoin to fund development of an SMT that will support the curation of great content.

I want to thank those who have contributed content for this address already. Donations of SBD or Steem are welcome at that address as well (only what you can afford to donate). Anyone with questions is welcome to contact me. Today, @communitycoin is publishing the first post I have donated to this address, which is a spinoff topic from the most recent post on my own blog. In the coming weeks, there will be much more great content by various authors featured on the @communitycoin blog.

Looking forward to sharing more with you as this project develops over the next few months!

hey Tom,

pardon if this is a bit off topic, but not sure how else to contact you as Steemit.chat is down now…

I made a post today regarding a large-scale idea to advance Steem’s development, and aiming to get the idea out in front of some power-players who might be able to run with it:


The $1 Billion Steem Development Fund: How Steemit Inc.'s Stake Could Be Best Allocated To Grow A Thriving Network Of Applications And Users...

would be great if you could have a read, and IF you feel it’d be a great idea that’d serve the community, forward to anyone in particular you know who might be in a position of influence to advance the discussion.

cheers, and Happy New Year!

Rok

This is such and exciting and important project for the community. Thank you so much for creating this and for all you do for the platform!

I second that ;)
How have you been?

That's right development of SMT's can boost the growth of Steemit Platform.

Have a great day and stay blessed.

Yes it will be very helpful

Haven't really been around on steemit going through post/blog in a while. Coming and the first thing am seeing is @communitycoin SMT project makes my heart leap for joy. I am a die hard supporter and will donate as much as I can to this project. Nothing merrys' my heart more than putting a smile on peoples faces by giving.
I would love to keep up with update of this project.

show me a giving back project and you got me all in.

Best post/announcement that made my day...lol

@surpassinggoogle shares the same passion and vision too about the smart media token, I know this to be a very wonderful venture. It will really help the platform if the less able are assisted to move up. Thanks

keep steeming

Now this is what I call a superb initiative . I love it when I see people who are established on steemit, looking out for others and trying to assist others and communities .

It's actually the best way to give back to the community and SMTs are just the best way to go about this...

You may have to work with @surpassinggoogle as he is also one of those who is passionate about giving back to the community through SMTs.

Communitycoin to the moon. This is really exciting and I am waiting excitedly to get a go at this SMTs geared towards rewarding the community.
Thank you @donkeypong for your love for community.

@ejemai if you didn't support this I wonder who would, you are interestingly awesome. Community based kinda people. Thanks sir for endorsing this

wow wow this is really a great idea, you are right sire, many good content writers and good project out their are all giving up due to the fact that they are lacking support and lack of curating their 5 hours writes up, its kind of feels bad after spending time building up a perfect post and all that ideas on a project only for the community to judge its outcome by the worth of the votes you get, this days many steemians don't bother reading nice contents cause they have 0.17 cent as the payout but definitely read up a 7second post just because it has a very huge pay out. and thank you really for starting up this project its really gonna help, bless you, the man above is your guild, your powers are strong #Project-Atlas

Words can't even express the gestures expecially when it's so visible to see, I see your curation just everywhere it's amazing, the work you're doing here, I'm certainly grateful that I've seen them and well my full support for this coming project @donkeypong

Thats a great strategy to support new creators and curators on steemit! I don't haven't made enough yet through my post on steemit but i will follow the project closely and see how it develops! and if i am able, i will donate and try to participate too! going to follow @communitycoin right now!

I've been looking for a Discord or Telegram chat but I haven't found it. :(

Try Steemit.chat to start. There are various sub-groups on Discord and elsewhere also.

Steemit.chat hardly loads on a mobile phone sir

its really good keep it up

This is a project that will save a lot of people in this community who feel frustrated for their efforts after racking so much to put their knowledge together in one piece and yet couldn't make peace with their rewards at the end of the day. I support your campaign and is highly welcome. Thanks

That's the goal.

Exciting news @donkeypong. You're so right people about the voting power dilemma. I'm seeing so many people fall through the cracks and giving up on the platform due to lack of support.

I for one will be cheering for @communitycoin's success in the coming months.

And you'll definitely be a part of it. Thanks!

Ohhh even more exciting! Thank you Tom. Please let me know if there's anything at all I can do to help 💗 I'll be there with bells on 🥂

@donkeypong, It will be greatest idea you've created. Its huge news for the new content create minnows. They have low vote power and its bad situation for improve them. But development of a Smart Media Tokens, you announce new fund raising project @communitycoin. I'll follow those project and hopefully wait to donate under my ability.
Thanks for the support and always help to you.

Thats excellent initiative to helpful content creators and curators on steemit platform @donkepong. I appreciate your helping task and if I can donate some fund to help new creators seriously give my support. I'll follow newly publishing post.
Stay blessed.

I think we all need something like this. Especially me. And SteMit deserves to be more widespread. Even the most common ... And we agree with that. Many thanks for this beautiful sharing.

Already gave a fallow to @communitycoin. @donkeypong, the dood that does great things for the community. I'm definitely on board with you.

You're the dude. Thanks for stopping by!

I know about the trouble of finding an audience here on steemit, It seems after having been gone for quite a few months things have changed here and there is less of a chance to be upvoted and it is quite disheartening to see ones content unnoticed and under appreciated . I understand how the matrix rewards the top dogs so to speak but where are the champions for the underdogs? There are those of us who fight the good fight everyday and it would be a better world for us ALL if we were to reward those who are working towards a better humanity not just to line the pockets of already wealthy people. thank you for being a voice of caring and taking action for a fairer system. I had high hopes for steemit when it first started up. Here is to hope and love winning out this time round!!!

lots of paw fives from Casa Lothlorien Animal Rescue Sanctuary!!

This is awesome, Tom. I'm looking forward to supporting in any way I could. Thank you for everything you've done for the community!

You're helping a lot already, thanks. And we're just getting started!

We might have two projects we would love to pitch, how could you introduce them to you.

One involves getting more travel bloggers and Digital Nomads onto Steemit and the other one is a project we run for over 10 years giving movie, TV and gaming recommendations but but always just scraping by.

Voting power remains tight, so it's hard to help everyone right now. You're welcome to contact me on steemit.chat to discuss more.

I have a question please, if I want to contribute content for the blog, how do I get my content across?

Thank you. We have a lot for now, but feel free to check back soon.

Congratulations Mr.@donkeypong another good project for steemit community.I hope this project will become successful .All of our fellow kababayan will continue to support you..Godbless and more power!

SMT is an excellent idea, it will surely help the newbies including myself to continuously participate and contribute to this platform. Many of us had done good writing, commenting and curating but unable to gain what we deserve. Is Steemit worthy to proceed with? I'm pretty sure majority of the newbies have thought about it. Keep going, we will make it someday!!!

Thanks @donkeypong, can't wait, hope it will be launched very soon.

You have been of great support to this community. More grease to your elbow and the @communitycoin will be one of the best.

This is really an amazing initiative. I really salute your heart for humankind.
Go communitycoin!!
Posterity would remember you sir @donkeypong

You don’t know how much gratefulness people in steemit are feeling after this announcement.. I hope your plan will happen, thanks for doing what you do! Salute

Brilliant initiative and a required one for a high percentage of great content creators on this community! Not sure how it will work but diving into this next week :-).

This is so amazing project and credit definitely goes to @donkeypong for the selfless efforts. This thing will help the people to live their life in a more better way for sure.

A huge round of applause for @donkeypong for this great initiative :)

Stay Blessed, Steem On!

finaly i see a light at end of tunel. many people talk about the problem of voting power but your project for support as alternative is a real solution an excelent idea and I will came in. Count with me to share in the #pt community.

This is a very good news, I will be responsible for resteemed on my part and by several followers of mine to continue spreading this information, and now all new users that I will try to enroll these days I will also tell them to read this so that they put more effort to their publications.
Tranks :D @donkeypong
Resteemed @javitogama @fjgb @drakitogama @pekas-cardozo @gris-lara @turtle-raptor

No need for SMT to support good curation, just change curation and voting implemenation in the code here, because the code itself makes bot use obligatory, and even then it is against good curation.

It should be returned to how it was before HF18, except from Quadratic rewards, which were bad.

And you're doing a great job telling about it to everyone here!

It really amazes me how people like you, and there are many others, put the effort in to keep making steemit better and better! I appreciate all of you as do us all I would hope! I'll learn more and spread the word! Enjoyed!

This is so beautiful @donkeypong. A noble and laudable initiative. Thank you so much sir.

Been waiting for a great vision such as this to be launched and knowing you are pioneering this is great. I really just hope it has its far reaching effect on a lot of people who work hard to draft good contents here on steemit. It's an amazing project and I am going to be part of it in my own little way. Amazing project.

You are doing what you know how to do best...... Community building. Kudos Sir and more grease to your elbow

This is indeed a wonderful idea @donkeypong. I am patiently waiting for the lauching of SMT

Now that's innovative. at least it shows there are people who are interested in the growth of the community.
Hopefully I'll be able to donate for the project.. Great one boss

@communitycoin 's post is
a story of Native American man ………

The communities are really nice. Steemit is also very helpful. There is no doubt that this project will develop very quickly. In order to be involved in this project, I will follow @communitycoin and be involved.
Thank you very much for your support to this community. I hope you get the result of your efforts. If you need me, just say enough. @donkeypong

Good Content coupled with Good Writer is the most harmonious blend.

But now many users are not good at writing and posting good content.

How are we, how to grow good content on steemit users? The best solution remains like the image.

  1. Watering every afternoon with water to keep the plants growing and developing themselves into good plants. So also with Steemit users, we should water them with Upvote every day so they can grow and expand themselves in forming good content.

  2. After we flush with water and the plant is useful and beautiful, then we must sell it for the behavior and considered the community that the plant is good. So here fight the curator content. Do not the curators even turn on the other akunya, for example the curator create good content and post it with another account as if the account is not his account. So this becomes very complicated. and new users in steemit will not grow as well in the end. only the curators grow.

  3. Whatever Programs if Curator still participates in the program through its many accounts, it becomes complicated in the end.

Best Regard

Good news for minnows. Its good to see that someone is looking out for them!

This is good! Thank you @donkeypong for this initiative. I look forward to it.

Thank you for posting.

amazing photography dear @donkeypong and your ohototgraphy is very challenging of every steemians you can challeng everyone

In every walks of Life there's continual improvement and without that Life will be unsustainable. I really appreciate your intelligent strategy to keep this community glowing. I can't wait to hear from @communitycoin.

Hi , this is organic farm ?

How do I donate a post in @communitycoin @donkeypong?
Or indeed there is no part for the reception of writing

Great initiative @donkeypong. This will surely be a big help to everyone. My salute to you.

That's great. Let me go check it out.

You have our full support on this. Thank you for being such a kind person. :)

This better be dank!

This is a very good idea, and I will always give full support to this project. Hope this helps the crowds. This is important, and good luck @donkeypong

i waiting for it @donkeypong . nice to meet you again

Your aims and goals are just really selfless. I hope the tech would greatly help the community in a far wider scale. The true "whales" of steemit is to carry the minute sea animals to its destination, not being consumed in the process. You have exhibited such unselfishness. I am excited to have a post being curated and supported. There might be criteria and might be difficult to meet but by dedication and passion, maybe just maybe, I, along with the others would benefit from it.

Oh yesssss! I am excited about this initiative. SMT it is!!! God bless the selfless heart of all of you involved. This is really amazing.

This is a very good initiative as i lead the Uganda community and such an initiative can help us.

we want this kind of things for the betterment of the community..thanks for being an initiator of these kind of good things :)

A positive community that must be supported according to ability. I will go there @donkeypong, to @communitycoin blog. Thanks a lot.

wow this is a next big step forward already :D

Yet another good development from your end @donkeypong. I could remember sometimes last year when I was still new here, I read a post in which you solicited for support to support @stach. Today, @stach run by @ejemai is doing exploits within Nigerian and west African climes, all to your credit. It appears you have 'PhD' in discovering worthy projects that have a good chance of succeeding; your instincts never disappoints you. For this reason, I know community will respond en masses.

This is indeed a great help for everyone. Waiting and excited for the launch of SMT.

It's amazing to find out that there are good hearts that are still poised to encourage underdogs who have no audience compared to the big whales. This is a wonderful project of giving back am glad if I benefit from it.

It' indeed powerful strategy. Better task for grow up good content creators. They have trouble with low vote power. I hope this will be successful project. I'm going to follow @communitycoin after this comment. I'll see get more support from audience and I'll give my help to you.

O.O Wooooooooow this seems so awesome. I hope this has a great growth so that more people find opportunities in this fast river. I'll surely read more about this to be informed about the progress. Thanks for the heads up.

Hi @donkeypong, i am a newbie and only had two posts so far. I might not be able to donate sbds right now, since i am just getting my way through this platform, but i will surely support your project sir @communitycoin. In fact, i have followed @communitycoin already as well as you @donkeypong. What a magnificient contribution you've made in steemit community. Thank you sir for being a hero! Looking forward of seeing more of your articles. Just find you awesome! Cheers and have a good one..

This is a tie farmer

what a great and a nice name to that wow this will help the community :)

A great initiative @donkeypong. I hope to contribute interesting and useful articles soon. Following you and @communitycoin now. Thanks! 😊

nice information

well that's a really cool initiative because many great articles go unrewarded/undervalued as minnows doesn't get much votes ... Thank you so much for your work..

you are such a good person @donkeypong you care about people who create good content but have less voting by assisitin and contributing to the SMT. i really have much respect for you.

time to rejoice for content creators :)

Thank you , @donkeypong . This will be a game changer for the steemit community!

@donkeypong,this is the game changer curation as a whole needs, you have our support 101% and I believe it will be a success.
Your love for community growth is unrivaled.

Donations of SBD or Steem are welcome at that address as well (only what you can afford to donate).

This is a worthy cause, I don't have much but the little I have (no matter how small) I'm going to make it available in support of this cause.

Thank you, I think everyone involved in producing high quality posts is equally inspired by your contribution :) Cheers!

well this is amazing smt will be a good thing ... keep it up

Communitycoin will be a huge success with together effort :)

With the adaptation of the smart media tokens, the communities will have an additional source of income. I like what you're doing guys, good job.

This is great. AS one that is trying to find ideas on helping the local small farming community, this strikes a chord with me.
Will follow your posts to see how, what and when things will happen.

Very good idea indeed. Right now the establishes Steemians are being flooded with money while the new content creators are kind of left for dead. I see and read tons of great content that doesn't get noticed. Thanks for your work and lets all participate in making Steemit the best platform 1 day at a time.

Interesting postings and very useful for all .. I will continue to keep your posts, ready to vote ..

This is a great idea and a good way to draw and keep strong content creators to grow the platform... looking forward seeing how this project progresses.

I as a new creator really suffer from getting upvotes. I tried posting all types of content but no content type is getting upvotes. I think helps from seniors in the community will definitely help us in the long run. I really appreciate what you are doing for the new comers here.
