The STEEM Blockchain Makes So Many Things Possible

As many of you know, STEEM is awesome. It allows developers and users to do things that was impossible before. At this moment in time, STEEM is one year old and developers are coming out of the wood work to develop new apps:

  • @zappl - Developing a Twitter replacement
  • @furion - Developing a Youtube replacement
  • @jesta - Developing a Forum interface
  • @busy - Developing a Facebook-like interface
  • @steepshot - Developing an Instagram-like interface

Now that is great but all those platforms require people to test them. They also need great writers on them with good rewards to get the funds they need to invest into development (through the arbitrary reward system)

How to Become a Paid Beta Tester for STEEM?

This is where the rubber hits the road. Since I am one of the top 100 holders of SteemPower on the platform, I decided to use my votes to support one of the platform that is in current development => https://beta.chainbb.com

I am currently upvoting all comments and posts that are using https://beta.chainbb.com

Which mean that you are pretty much guaranteed to be making money if you decide to use CHAINBB for your daily postings and commenting on the STEEM network. At this moment in time, that's between $0.50 to a $1 per votes on comments and posts.

A Win / Win Situation

By posting and commenting on CHAINBB, you are participating in funding the future of the platform since 15% of all rewards are going to build the team to develop this platform to it's full capacity. You are also helping @jesta into knowing what can be improved on the platform by posting on the CHAINBB message board: https://beta.chainbb.com/forum/chainbb

You are also winning because when I vote, I am sending almost $1 to you! I have a curation trail where other big holders can participate in upvoting your content. To participate to this trail, go to: https://streemian.com/profile/curationtrail/trailing/225

At this point, only 43 users have been using chainbb in the last 24 hours. So there is still a lot a place to grow!

so delighted to learn about the new tools chainbb and esteem. thanks a bunch for sharing and explaining how these things work!

Don't see any $ on my post. Where can I see the number? They said we get money from mlah mlah mlah... (sorry, mlah for blah on Mars). I only see a lot of users with percentages... are those votes?

Sorry new here on ChainBB. Besides, I am Martian.

Yep those are votes, which contribute to the value of the rewards that a post earns.

The values don't display right now on chainBB (not yet implemented) unfortunately.

I dont think $ amount shows up on chainBB yet. But I can see it from steemit.com and it's $0.81 :-)

Great work! AWESOME!

Thanks for the the heads up, Im definately for being a beta tester and also as a developer of websites and android apps, Im also interested in making a WALL like twitter replacement based on steem.

@cryptoctopus count me in been using it today looks great

@cryptoctopus been using https://beta.chainbb.com commented today after seeing your post on a fair few post but only i think 2 was upvoted

This is pretty great work, I like how clean it performs. Going to spend some time on this in the near future

I'm posting in chainbb. I'll che k out the site now, thanks for the post!!

OK, I surrender. If you're going to point loaded STEEM at me, ...

This IS a forum structure I 'm a little more used to using for problem-solving, not socially interacting, I suppose I'll be using the tech and science parts a lot more than posting click-baity cat videos...

I just commented on this post via beta.chainbb.com . But it got swallowed because I reloaded the page after the "working" circle didnt disappear... I worked as a software tester for 5 years and got some free time on hand. Holla if ya need me ;)

If we are developing all these competing projects, Perhaps eSteem can fit into category being Jaxx or Exodus of Steem but much more ? 😊

oh yeah! Sorry, I forgot to mention you!

Best wishes everyone, I have done previous support in terms of bug finding and feature developer so I want to know how to apply for a permanent spot @crypooctopus ?

this is purely great idea. thanks

wow uff was looking for hours to find your post again... no idea why i did not leave a comment ^^
nice offer i have to say.

looking forward to become a curator myself.

i was using chainBB the last two days to comment, but i dont see your votes.
because i'm new to steemit i might miss something here, so pls dont be offended, its just me, the friendly Melonman ;-)
greeting, following and looking forward to find a new online home over here

They are probably just running behind. I saw the votes pretty quickly 2 days ago, but none since then. I'm thinking with so many new users, the voting process is just a bit delayed.

wasnt even able to comment from chainbb, a few hours ago
so lets have a look tomorrow ;.-)

yes, I'm sure they will come through. probably just overwhelmed with all the new posters like us! :)

heheheh damn theses posters

hi :-) @cryptoctopus, any updates for us?
at the moment its more like only 20-30% receive atm 0.3$
sometimes i have seen you voted older comments as well
some friends went over to esteem, while i'm in hope for a response :-)
i welcome a lot newbies, when they see your votes they become curious
which is a good thing right?
you may let rest your votes for a day or two... ?
greetings @chrisx

pls feel free to contact me at any time :-)
discord, steemitchat... same nick

Nice.

Just discovered ChainBB, and it seems a good idea. more permanence to the posts.

Does posting on ChainBB also post on Steemit ? as it seems like that for me (I've only looked around for, like, 2 seconds, so I might be wrong !)

Yup! chainBB and Steemit use the same blockchain (data store), so all posts between them are shared.

Ok, thanks !

There's a few things we'll need to work on to make ChainBB easier to use though.

Notifications (I got the Notification for your answer on Steemit, but had to navigate back to ChainBB and find your answer first XS), a way to go directly to what I've posted in replies/comments, etc...

But other than that the whole idea seems very interesting !

Absolutely. I've got the fundamental notification system in (that pops up when you post), I just need to get reply notifications working now too. It's on my radar ;)

Cool !

I like how ChainBB gives me a direct insight into my remaining Vote Power and allows me to adjust it.
It was one of the things that annoyed me about Steemit. That such a statistic existed but that I had no way to access it directly in Steemit.

Continue the good work !

Joined :) Love from pakistan!

Nice post
Upvoted and followed you.
I will try chainbb tomorrow on computer, thank you for introduced it.

Great stuff, I am enjoying with chainbb so far. Thanks!

Thanks for the post!

I will be resteeming!

So I've been testing ChainBB, and I'm happy to test it further by continuing to use the site. However, I was under the assumption that I would be getting upvoted for my comments. I'm not sure how that exactly works but none of the comments I have left so far using ChainBB have been upvoted! Not sure if I am doing something wrong? Thanks.

@rhino I am running into the same issue. Is the promotion still going?

I'm in! I'm not sure what exactly I'm in yet... I'll have to do some digging to find out what #chainbb is, and all... But here I am, posting from it, that's a start!

Ditto that!

Congrats from me as well, been supporting this project from the moment i found out about it. One question though, is there a guide of some kind regarding Streemian and its features? I registered and looked into it briefly, but was wondering if there is a post about it.

P.S
That 0.001 SBD for activation , killed me! My mind was stuck and couldnt remember that i could buy it from exchange, and was looking for a way to power down on steem, get steem into SBD (i have 0 steem and 0 SBD, all is powered up), until i almost postponed it for tomorrow :P

By the way, do you know how long it takes approximately to verify the SBD its received? Is it automatic or could take a couple of days?

This is a great initiative! I've been meaning to try out chainbb for a while now, but never gotten around to it. I bet this will spark a lot of interest for the project!

This is awesome man :)

Thanks for taking the time to write this! It's an awesome initiative and blows my mind that we have reward mechanisms like this that allow rewards for helping test and give feedback about a product.

I tried it on firefox for android and the page never loaded, just got the spinning circle

Great tool. I just made my first post using ChainBB.

https://steemit.com/travel/@worldtraveler/magical-machu-picchu

I love how you can see all the people who have voted and commented easier unlike the Steemit interface which hides your supporters after a certain number

Done.

Because I want to support the devs creating the blood vessels that feed the blockchain.

I've heard ChainBB mentioned a lot around the site but as I'm so new here I wanted to get my head around all the features here. I'll take a look it sounds promising!

Thanks for the reminder! Supporting the backbone of Steemit..........

I am commenting from chainbb. If you are throwing Steem my way, how can I resist? One thing I've noticed about chainbb is that I am finding so many contributors that I've never seen on Steemit. It's easier to find new users here. I especially like the travel selections. So many great photos that heretofore I had missed on Steemit. I also like being able to control the voting power so that I can vote on more new people. This is a great platform. Thanks for the Steem!

Thank you @ @cryptoctopus . Chain BB works like you said ,respect :)

why you no upvote me? :(

It takes up to 30min + for me to vote for you

okay i'll wait :D

I would love to be a tester alright... Please keep me in the loop, if you can. I love what's happening here with us. Namaste :)

Anyone can be a beta tester. Just go to beta.chainbb.com and post your replies from there instead of from Steemit :)

you can already be one...by using chainbb.

Ditto that, too -- years ago, I stupidly paid $$$ to join Cooking Club of America, and got one item to test, and I keep meaning to see if they even exist anymore. AmazonVine has so much more reliable, though it has its downsides. Count me in as a tester, if you will, please and thanks!

You only need to log in via chainBB and start posting to become a tester :))

Joined, and posting! Will explore more, thanks for sharing @cryptoctopus :)

A Very interesting project that I will be following actively.
This could really be a thing in the near future.

Upvoted :)

This looks incredibly well put together for a Beta release!! I'm excited about being a part of the community!

Awesome, just now joined beta.chainbb.com

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

I'm new to Steemit... first time posting on ChainBB as well!
Looks great so far :)

Edit: @cryptoctopus How can someone determine whether a post was made on ChainBB vs Steemit?

Hi, I wish all the best for all the Steem developers. I am new here. Thank you very much!

What you are doing with this is simply awesome @cryptoctopus! I've been going strong on ChainBB so far, and I'd like to thank you and your trail for all the upvotes, so very kind of you :)

This is the real deal folks and @cryptoctopus is a complete BOSS. ChainBB's style & layout will look very familiar to anyone who's ever posted on internet forums before, give it a shot, what's the worse that could happen? Maybe you'll like it and make a bit of Steem in the process? Come join the fun!

Thanks for alerting me to @furion 's work , excited to see a YT replacement! I mean it's my baby, but then again.. she cheated on me when earnings were slashed by 85-90%! And the ad rates are going down year by year anyways, regardless of what niche you are

I have been thinking of adding a forum to my site (https://www.bitcoin-millionaire.com/) would love to do it with @chainbb.. I need to do some research :D

I've been your admirer for a long time now. Since you started @crowdfundedwhale :)

And I always loved @jesta's work. It was essential to use his tools in the early days. Actually it still is :)

OK, I've joined your trail and logged in to ChainBB.

Now what? Start posting on ChainBB what would be posted on Steemit anyways?

Easy beezy :) Starting right away.

Ps: it there any development related to some WordPress plugin?

I have always wondered about how you can tell if a post is posted via chainbb, or another site?

If you are browsing on Chainbb you can see it below the post. It says "posted via chainbb / steemit / busy" etc. However, I don't think you can see info like this on Steemit itself.

Thanks, I did not notice that. Is the info stored on the blockchain somewhere?

Yes, it is. You can go to Steemd.com and find the post there. Click on advanced mode, and the "json_metadata" field will tell you which app the post was from.

I've never used it before, but will be using it now. Thanks!

Will post there, posting key guide was helpful wish I clicked it faster xD

i Didn't really know much about steem blockchain but now I think I have a better understanding than I was.

Congratulations @cryptoctopus!
Your post was mentioned in my hit parade in the following categories:

I cant login to chain-bb, but there is nowhere but here to log the problem. The login attempt never completes, I have tried this on Firefox and IE on Windows 10 and on Firefox on Android

are you having issue with the posting key? read this: https://steemit.com/steemit-guides/@rgeddes/getting-your-posting-key---made-easy

I followed that thanks and tried my public and private posting keys, it just never logs in

did you click on "show private keys" button?

Yes, i tried both public and private posting key, the key isnt rejected as incorrect, the loading circle just spins indefinately.

EDIT: OK I figured out the problem I have the EFFs Privacy Badger who eats tracking cookies, this is preventing login, why is the site using tracking tech?

It's not using any tracking what so ever.

OK you already saw my issue on your log so lets resolve it that way now

Posting this using chainBB.

resteemed

now if I could just remember to use chainBB more often ;>

I up voted this post, and just added - 83 $ !!!
I am a WHALE !!!
Does it come back to me through chainbb.com ???
=]]]]]]]]]]

minus $83? LMFAO

very nice, i have made my first post via chainbb, is there a limit, how much posts i can make in one day via chainbb? do i have to come to beta.chainbb.com everytime or i can just put chainbb in tags also ?

If you write via chainbb, you will get my vote. No limits. It has to be written using chainbb website.

very good job !

Already am using the chainbb forum! Lovely place already.

omg!!! Didnt know all this existed!!!! cant handle so much beauty

I am new, and learning more everyday how to build steem, CHAINBB
https://beta.chainbb.com/

Welcome to SteemIt!

Thank you.

HOLY CRAP! I did not know there were that many new things coming!

That's one of the things that i find most exciting about steem compared to some of the other altcoins - there is always development, whether it's by the team itself or by 3rd party developers. More development and activity around the coin leads to a stronger ecosystem and hopefully higher price in the future :)

great tips....upvote and resteem for u

same here am into some app development,i think i will comment via this app. i ponding on something,to great a great app every make for STEEM will be coming out soon. watch out. will check out CHAINBB..i want to surprise steem community with a great project at hand. thanks for the post cryptoctopus

Steemians will always back this kind of project that can truely uplift the spirit of humanity...:)

**What about a Linkedin interface? **

That is where 90% of my professional and crypto relationships are. Who better to share similar interests? FB is based on friendship, not content. Twitter is timely information, Instagram for photography and influencing. Linkedin has become a very powerful collaboration tool. I must know 100 very skilled developers through there and thats where we idea and project share, and find dev and business development people. Just something to think about and I would be happy to assist!

https://www.linkedin.com/in/heather-parks-colorado

I think its just by time. Steemit will take over the internet

This is exactly what the dolphins and tween minnows have been looking for! U/R/F What a fantastic opportunity. Much love from the Minnows/Dolphins Incubator Tank!

Upvoted following and checking out chainBB :-)
I have seen it a few days ago and immediately liked it....

go chainbb, thanks for all you do @cryptoctopus ! when steemit went down for a minute earlier. ChainBB stayed up and I realized that's another huge potential benefit to have all the layers we have working together on the steemit blockchain.. I'm currently making a post partly encouraging people to take part in all these betas to help move steem forward and showing some tips i've learned in my few weeks here (chainbb inc.)!!

1.Need help desk, lol...yes, i am anewb. Went to chainbb to get a dollar, ahem, i mean to support the project, and it said be sure to use your post key so you dont lose your account. That was enuf to cause me to backbutton cause i dont know how to make sure im using a post key and i just love my account.

look under permissions in your wallet. You will see several keys. There is an owners key which you never share with anyone. The posting key is what you need. If you click the show private key adjacent to the posting key, that is what you need to log in. This key only allows posting, no access to your wallet. Hope this helps.

Full Steem ahead! Thanks

up vote me hahaha

What about passwords and user names ?
Chainbb takes it from steemit, or it stores them in owndatabase ?
Can it be hacked ???
=]

chainBB doesn't store anything of yours on our server, your posting key is saved in your web browser and (theoretically) should never leave it.

Also if somehow your keys do get hacked - the hacker would only be able to vote on posts or leave comments as you. Your funds would be safe :)

as far as I know it's kept on the client side. @jesta would know more. you can ask him on steemit.chat

I am not the best programmer =]
But it can not be stored at client side .
=]

How I can help by testing beta.chainbb.com ???
=]

  1. Use the platform to write content and replies
  2. Contribute to those tags (see screenshot)

help.png

Very interesting thingy this "Chainbb" !
Can you explain please, what it stands for ?

I think the bb part stands for bulletin board, but most people would simply call it an online forum. The chain part is probably based on the fact that it is running on a blockchain.

Chainbb is basically a forum interface for Steem.

Followed !
Waiting for news on chainbb !!!
=]

I love chainbb! Steem is the shit! Support the platform!

im going to look, thanks!!

Hi cryptoctopus,

Is the paid beta scheme still running? I don't see any upvote on my comment (commented from bb chain of course)

Because of HF19, as I mention in my latest article, I decided to discontinue my auto-vote. Sorry!

ah thanks for letting me know, i havent read it :p

What is an autovote?

Best wishes and cheers for building our platform . Respect

Did you know that you could have made almost $1 for commenting the exact same thing here: https://beta.chainbb.com/chainbb/@cryptoctopus/how-to-become-a-paid-beta-tester ?

Im atm testing bbchain on mobile, its not very easy understand what is what.

Come to think of it, i never tested chainbb from mobile. That's something to try tomorrow.

Very hard at first moment ,so i even returned back to this. Cuz here i understand everything.

For real , no i didnt know that, i will check this link , thanks ❤🙂

heh...thanks for the heads up :)

next time, consider reading the article.

I cannot sing it with my regular Steemit password - wrong password. Can I use steemit's pass?

here is a helpful guide by @rgeddes on how to get the proper key for signing in to chainbb. what you want is the "private posting key".
https://beta.chainbb.com/steemit-guides/@rgeddes/getting-your-posting-key---made-easy

thank you, I' m already inside. The problem was I tried Posting key instead of Private Posting key.

BTW, in would be nice to add a message in Sign-In for about what kind of key user needs to provide for log in #chainbb @chainbb

The next update will change the words on that page slightly adding the word "Private", and expanding on the text below the box with the link.

Thank you!

It would improve understatnding for the end users

I think you just need your private posting key if i remember correctly.

A replacement for Twitter, and Youtube would be great! It's getting harder and harder to post meaningful content on those two sites.

OK, please be gentle.

I've been on Steemit for about 2 weeks and never did much with any of the vapid, selfie posting, "I just bought shoes" and "look at the $17 coffee I just bought from the most gorgeous barista" social media sites.

I understand the concept of Public & Private keys but WTF is a Private Posting key?

I don't even need a long answer if someone can just point me to a post (or posts)somewhere that describes what all of these other apps are supposed to be doing I would be most appreciative.

I'm gulping from the firehose as fast as I can.

That wasn't so bad, I'd give it a pucker factor of about 1.8.

Thanks for the help.

there is a button that says: "Show Private Key". If you don't click that then you get the encrypted version and chainbb can't do anything with that.

So, a one way key that allows me to post under @theblindsquirl but doesn't give access to the wallet of my Steemit account?

Correct, that posting key only allows creating posts and casting votes. chainBB itself won't have any access to your wallet.

OK, thanks.

All the answers are that simple, right? ;-)

Haha don't we wish?

It says invalid key.

there is a button that says: "Show Private Key". If you don't click that then you get the encrypted version and chainbb can't do anything with that.

Thars kind of you. ill start by voting your recent posts

Signing up now thank you.

I've never used it before, but will be using it now. Thanks!

so, does it mean that we have to always post on chainbb or can we float back and forth from Steemit to Chainbb?

You can use whatever website you desire :)

They share the same community and posts. I'm writing this reply from chainBB!

Sweet. I just saved Chainbb to my bookmarks to remind me to post from there. Thanks for the info. I am seeing lots today on Chainbb so it must be trending.

It was bit complicated to figure out how to login to Chainbb, but I am able to. I am in.

I signed up on it before but havent figured out how to post on/through it

Good initiative ! Resteem !

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Sorry if I am missing something @cryptoctopus , I created the chainBB account as directed and sent the .0001 SBD with memo code to @steemian this AM but I see it still says to send... I received a reply earlier from @jesta who wasn't aware of what I am referring to. Is there a lag time in receiving on the other end updating as received? Thanks

Me gustó tu publicación

just commented on chainbb. What a great read!

Verry nice post

upvoted! Looking forward to further development of this platform!

Great new...Upvoted

I'm currently posting here but using the tage chainbb-general, is this alternative work?

This is a great idea. Thank you .... because I am new ... help me to be the best in the future @fahrullah

Sounds good, most users of software are unpaid beta-testers these days 8-).

Some good information.

I just joined! This is all really new to me so bear with me!! Thanks.

awesome info. thanks to you i am commenting from steepshot 😉 awesome ❤
