AskSteem: what kind of token would you create on the Steem blockchain?

in asksteem •  6 years ago 

Without going too deep into some gamechanging ideas that would make you millionaires over a week, unless you really want to share those ideas. :P

I'm wondering what cool fun community style tokens you would create and be active in if you could. At some point in the future I am looking forward to just curating with my own stake and doing a lot of cool things with it than just curating users and content. Maybe I get lucky and happen to be one of the few accounts with a lot of stake that would make supporting a community and its token easier and kind of unique to be in that position.

I'd love to be able to continue doing things that are community oriented now and later too, won't always be looking as to how to profit the most out of this technology even though there is space here for those that do too. I haven't had many ideas but I would love to get some discussions going and see if we could improve upon them and what the others think and who knows maybe even end up creating a token.

I mean it doesn't require a lot of people to create one and have a small community around it that continues growing. With the right incentives and goal of the token it could probably grow to become something amazing. Shout-out to @abh12345's engage token and @whatsup's @dramatoken on steem-engine.com! Really like what I see going on there and looking forward to see many, many more pop up!

Anyway even though steem-engine is new I am sure it will evolve over time and add a lot of new functions or tools to help with the token and distribution so much so that they could become what SMT's was imagined of becoming.

AskSteem: what kind of tokens would you want to see more of on Steem? Why?

I would like to see tokens that reward content consumption, be it watching videos, reading blogs/comments. No upvotes, no comments, no engagement. Algo should figure out how much content user is consuming and reward accordingly. Certain content may reward more if authors or companies promote it with this token. Let’s call it CONSUME.

Also, this token should have inflation and deflation at the same time. Meaning CONSUME held will decrease as time goes on. Unless users keep consuming and accumulating more CONSUMEs.

This would actually be a great one, start it! :D

That is beyond my abilities. I should probably pitch it to @stoodkev to integrate it with SteemPlus.

I can't even tell you how much I love this concept.
I've been thinking a lot about this exact idea, but you've definitely fleshed it out a lot more.

Yea, it seems we are missing something like that.

I like this idea!

I really like the idea of a Good Person token... which is earned by people sharing posts/photos of themselves doing good deeds... like looking after the elderly, picking up litter, rescuing baby sloths from burning buildings, etc... the kind of things that we need people to do to function as a society but capitalism doesn't necessarily value.

Hahaha, so old school... this is gold.

I would create one to incentivize acts of kindness in the offline world. There would be a community board for posting pictures or stories of the acts. Others would upvote for how much each act should be rewarded. In addition to personal winning each participant would receive, each week the top upvote recipient would get a matching amount donated to their favorite charity. I’d call it Karmacoin.

Lottery token, you can redeem these tokens like lottery tickets basically :D

You have odds of winning other tokens also.
cool idea I think

Hmm, interesting, what about something where you can park your votes and part of them go into a pool and if you happen to get the right number after some time you get all of that while at the same time there are daily/weekly lotteries going on, maybe even hourly. :D

BINGO ! Exactly !

That would be a crazy idea to make come to life :D

Hey Acidyo,

Thanks for the shout out on DRAMA. We are having a ton of fun with it and I LOVE that community seems to be enjoying it too!

I read an idea in your comments for consuming content, I also like the idea of rewarding curation and and view of posts!

Drama = 🔥

I like the SUFB - Sue FaceBook - Holders get a % if they win the case. Small odds, big payout!

!dramatoken

I love your token too. :)


You've got DRAMA!

To view or trade DRAMA go to steem-engine.com.

😍

Congratulations! You have just earned some ENGAGE Tokens.

Find them at https://steem-engine.com

LOL

Should be 'odds' not 'odd' haha :D

OK so it's a huge ask, but why not!?

Maybe call it sue zuckerberg - SUZU

That would also have worked :D

Stayingpoweredup token. I like that people should see steem has a longtime thing. And support each other with their votes has the value increases. At the present, a lot of people just power down anyhow they like, I don't think it is cool.

Would love to launch edutoken which will help us for rewarding educators for free coaching

I would create tokens called Comments (CMTS). Users would earn them from making comments on the steem blockchain. Users could earn or keep their tokens for upvotes. There is a base upvote amount that is subject to increase depending on the quality of the comment. The amount of tokens you earn from commenting daily, is limited by the number of tokens you hold. Signup would be similar to steemconnect extension. Once you log in through it, start commenting.

I'd like to see a geocaching type token. Maybe tied in with https://what3words.com addresses.
Solve a puzzle, physically attend the solution/location, scan plaque/QR code on site, claim a token.
For example; freaky.swift.workouts is next to the Hoover Dam

:D I remember a long time ago I told @mcfarhat to somehow get geocaching into @actifit!

Yesss and we did add the geocaching activity name into actifit, yet havent built a complete functionality around it.. Yet :)

Awesome! :D

W3w is an amazing concept. Met one of the founders at an event a year or two ago.

Nice. I wrote about some of the possibilities 2 years ago.
I could see something like Ancestry.com filing burial site locations alongside other individual data on historical figures.

Alright, I thought of another token lol. This one is called Dissolve (DSLV). You earn the token by playing a game I just made up called Dissolve. You can sell your tokens or keep them for upvotes.

#beatitudes

#beatitudes is a promise of love and freedom by @Steemchurch through her leader - @Sirknight. While #beatitudes which is yet to come is the official token of @steemchurch, the community has so far spread love to the world, especially Nigeria, Ghana and Venezuela.

I believe the essence of humanity is to honour God and bless fellow men.

I am already loving the way Users and Dapps are starting to run towards SteemEngine and got few from that lol

Don't know but we might see ACID token or sth like it in future as well jk

A token that rewards you when you power up and you get daily rewards if you don't cash out. Double the rewards in bear markets for true playaz :)

I had an idea doing some project like this but I don't know technical shizzle and how to set everything up so I don't end up in bankruptcy after 2 months :)

Hahaha, that's my fear. No idea what i'm doing.

You are in my last episode of DTUBERS story :)

What about token ? Hmm..

I like comedy so maybe a "comedy tokens" ? And we will earn this for doing a jokes/comedy ;)
Interesting idea

What about a SCT(SUPER CONTENT TOKEN)

Nowadays steem is surrounded by whales and vote selling business so I guess if any token for a good content as rewarding would be a plus point to encourage good content to te platform.

Well, if im honest ill be creating a SMT eventually myself. If im going to be serious for once, lol, it will actually be a token with real world value. It wont be grandiose in scope nor will it be game changing or revolutionary, like every other token claims and wants to be. hehe

I work in tourism (Croatia) and im an owner of a apartment complex with 10 apartments on the Adriatic coast. Currently im working on expanding my business and opening a tourist agency.

My idea was to tie in my token with something of real world value. Travel packages have real world value. Accommodation costs money, food costs money, transport costs money...
I would provide a real world service as a travel agency with a "proof of travel" coin that would be given to folks that purchase my travel packages in the $% amount of their purchase.
Once travel is completed and they spent how ever many days in Croatia using my services they get "TRAVEL TOKENS" which are essentially vouchers that can be traded on the open market or reused to slash a price off your travel expenses.
There would be something backing the token value beyond pure speculation.

Thats my basic idea. Ill need to look into the token economy a bit more and i will eventually get a dev to help me out, but i think theres something there.

It aint a Drama token but then again.... nothing really is. lol. :D

Doesn't sound too bad at all! I think there's also a front-end for travelling, called @tasteem or was it @tripsteem, hmm. Anyway that could be a great addition to at the same time get people a steem account if they want to post or review their stay while earning your token and some steem. :D

Yeah. To take the benefit of the "voucher" you would have to have a STEEM account. My business will be registered in the coming month with the Croatian ministry of Tourism. The agency will function as if it has nothing to do with blockchain but i will add payments in BTC, STEEM, etc. (not ETC haha) with the addition of the token that will act as a voucher. All customers will get it but if they want to use it.... They need a STEEM account.
Ive thought this through quite a bit but as i said, this wont be something revolutionary. A simple tokenized business.

Let me know when you create the token on steem-engine :D

@sn0n and I got an idea for a game. Nothing as advanced as drugwars, but something that helps new people learn more about STEEM and get rewards while at it.

I’d create a curation token for donations so people would be incentivized to donate to authors as well as upvote them. I think incentivizing donations on STEEM can make the on boarding less steep, since building enough stake to have a valuable upvote is a significant investment. Having better incentives and a better UX for donations would make us more friendly to noobs.

Would love to generate a HelpCoin which can help a small group of community to help a person in his financial crisis and can be funded by the community and when the person is out of crisis can payback yo the community and start helping other needed person.
