Chinese are coming!
It's surprising that the 'cn' tag now is at top 4 position. Wondering how the Chinese achieved that in so short time? Here is the explanation.
Obviously, most Steemers are english speakers and there are only hundreds of posts are in Chinese.
We are a group of enthusiast of digital currency and Steem. Since last week we build a close community to discuss about concept of Steem, writing post in Chinese, building websites to introduce Steem to other Chinese.
Here is what we have done in the last week.
- Most of the us are experts of digital currency and software. We mine Bitcoin, run Cryptocurrency exchange, arbitrage. We do almost everything related to cryptocurrency.
- Most of us can read and write English.
- We build a website, and community of QQ Group and Wechat Group.
steemchina.com
Welcome to Steemit WeiXin Chat Group - We wrote articles to introduce Steem to other Chinese.
FAQ for Chinese Newbie
Welcome to Steemit-China - Some of us started to buy huge amount of Steem and have great Steem Power.
@abit $1,040,515.43
@Laonie $152,815.93 - We invested by ourself to translate the Steem White Paper into Chinese.
SteemWhitePaper Translated into Chinese
Github Repo of the Chinese Translation - Most Chinese post under the tag 'cn' as we proposed.
Now there are only hundreds of Chinese playing with Steem but we have done a lot.
Even for most of Chinese it's impossible to register on steemit.com.
Stongly suggest to dan & ned that steemit support for QQ or Wechat verifieation.
Just imagine that there are millions of digital currency players in China! Wow!!!
Here is why we are so fascinated by Steem
- We don't have access to Facebook, Google , Twitter. You name it. Most good things are blocked by the Great Fire Wall.
- Censorship. I don't want to talk more about this because I'm still living in China.
We are not spamming here. We are contributors to the Steem community. We are part of this big family.
** We love Steem! **
Imagine if one day people can register accounts via Wechat! This will be amazing!
Check this out!

Yes, account registration via a popular Chinese service like Wechat would open Steemit to a huge number of new users. Hopefully we'll see this sooner rather than later. In the meantime, I'm glad to see some people here already trying to develop a Chinese Steemit community.

Unfortunately I cannot read Chinese. But only English and Dutch. I have some friends who can read both Chinese and English perfectly. How to reach the whale is a good question. Maybe you should collaborate with Laonie and abit to let them up vote you, and then when you get attention the whales might see you faster. I wish i could give you better advice

建议把白皮书翻译单独发一篇。我去找人顶。
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

谢谢。我正在校对,还需要修改markdown的格式,翻译公司是用word格式翻译的。可能还需要几天。
改成md格式之后放在github,这样以后官方文档修改之后我们也会及时更新。

我说“单独发一篇”的意思是说,你可以发一篇文章说“我找专业翻译公司翻译了白皮书,现在正在校对”,然后把github地址发在文章里。这个事情本身就值得肯定,ned他们会来顶的。现在你没发专贴,他们不知道顶什么。
另外,你的校对工作可以公开化吗?比如直接在github上做?这样可以避免重复劳动,并且其他人可以一起来做,可以更快完成。比如,我在github上发了一些意见,见此链接往下滚:https://github.com/asalei/steem-cn/commit/0bd5962bf21e564e7a0b047803ea0d9a6ac39fe9
我的想法是,所有参与翻译工作的人都可以得到一定奖励,根据贡献多少来发。这个奖励,用发帖方式来筹集,参与贡献的跟帖回复,就能得到相应奖励。

我还是想等翻译公司把校对稿先给我,因为翻译公司给的是word格式的,最起码我先把格式修改好,导成markdown,然后放到github上,大家就可以一起修改了。
虽然我找的是专业的翻译公司,但是他们不懂加密货币和区块链,肯定有些东西是要修改的,这个还得靠大家群策群力了。
另外官方版本如果更新,也得要随着修改,争取快速保持一致。

The biggest market for Steemit might be China. I know that there is a lot of scensorship there. And steemit is specifically built against scensorship. If you are successful to introduce this to China, I believe it could help liberate free information for Chinese people.

Yes. Not only censorship, we also have the Great Firewall. You use Facebook, we have QQ Zone. Twitter? We have Weibo. And Baidi for Google. We have cloned most of the world-famous websites.
But things should not be like this. That's why we are so excited when we met Steem. Even steemit.com is blocked in China, no problem, because it's true decentralized platform. Nobody can stop the Blockchain.
Everybody should be born equal to get information.

@somebody nobody can stop the blockchain, but chinese gov can stop people who use this. And force them not to. That's quite simple to understand. What you post on blockchain will stay, OK that's right, but first you need to be able to post (if they dont block all IP / nodes/ access), then if you do, it can be illegal for you soon or later if they decide that it should be.
People can go in prison for doing this, so Nobody can stop the blockchain you're right, but people can be stopped very easily.

这篇文章亦是 Chinglish 的良好范例,如第一段说:“It's surprising that the 'cn' tag now is at top 4 position. Wondering how the Chinese achieved that in so short time? Here is the explanation.”
光这段就有 3 个不地道。一是“now is”应该改成“is now”;二是“at top 4 position”应该改成“at the 4th position”;三是“in so short time”应该改成“in such a short time”。
“now is”显然是“现在是”的直译;“at top 4 position”显然是“排在头四位”的直译;“in so short time”显然是“在这么短时间里”的直译。
这种将母语(L1)的表达习惯带到外语(L2)中的现象,学术上叫 L1 transfer 或 language transfer,也就是俗称的中式英语。
当一个人不知道一个说法在外语中真正的地道表达方式时,他就可能用自己母语的表达方式去组合外语单词来表达。
而随着一个人看到的真实、地道、原汁原味的外语句子越来越多时,地道的外语表达方式就会替代他原来不地道的表达方式。比如当他看过一句真实的外语句子用“in such a short time”来表达“在这么短时间内”时,他以后就会改用这种表达方式,而不再用“in so short time”这样的中式英文。
在学术上,这就叫做 L1 transfer 带来的负面效应逐渐被 L2 input(看/听到的真实的外语信息)所纠正。
学习者的 interlanguage(学外语的人在外语不纯熟时所产生的介于母语和外语之间的语言,比如中式英文)就逐渐向地道的目标语言无限逼近,直至成为一个 native 或 near-native speaker。
再举个例子。如果一个学中文的美国人想用中文表达“清晨”这个概念,但又没在任何真实的中文句子里看到过“清晨”这个说法,那么他往往就会从他母语中的“early morning”直译成中文,变成“早的早晨”、“早期的早晨”、“初期的早晨”等等听上去让人摸不着头脑的生硬中文。
而当他看到一句包含“清晨”的中英双语句对后,他就学会了“清晨”这个地道的中文表达,以后就会用这个词来替代“早的早晨”之类的英式中文了。
后记:“good good study, day day up”大概是最有名的中式英文例子。

Chinese will start buying a lot of STEEM soon. This will drive the price and volume back up. If you're thinking of buying some STEEM, don't say I didn't warn you. 10 dollar STEEM by the end of August.

I understand living in a country with a lot of restriction. But aren't you afraid of China banning this also in the future?

Steem is a decentralized platform. No one could ban the blockchain because it's P2P. Even government blocks steemit.com, there will be many clones in China. Domains like steemchina.com, steem.cn, steemit.cn are in my hands now. Even all the websites are in the blacklist, there is something like Piston.web. People could run it on it's own computer.
That's why Steem is great.

That's incredible and it's why I love the blockchain so much. It will change the world... it technically already is changing it though.

Thats quite true but still wrong. Chinese gov can of course restrict access to Steem blockchain. That's not quite difficult for them.
It will be a cat and mouse game. Sure you can change domain or even IP, but still piston web will still have to connect to some IP than can be banned. Plus you can imagine if this become clearly illegal to use or post on Steem blockchain, i'm not quite sure chinese people will take this risk to use steem and be penalized and pay fines or even go to prison for this.
Governments can shoot you when they declare something illegal. That's a fact. Nobody can oppress steem because it's the blockchain, but people can still be oppressed.
I've some very rich friends in china since i've been doing business with china for years, but they are afraid to take any risk and being involved in something that could be illegal soon or later. So what's the solution to make Steem scale in china and other pro censorship countries ?
@somebody , please let me know how to contact you also to talk about it because we have a team behind that wants to start building a good chinese community and i have chinese whales ready for it, but we can not solve this legal/law/censorship issue for now.

You see when their government banned bitcoin? It didn't stop the miners of China to avoid mining and in fact they are the one contributed a lot in mining field for bitcoin. So it won't affect them if for whenever Chinese government banned steemit too.

This is great.
We, living in western societies/countries don't get to feel censoship that often if ever. And if we do, there's usually a big media backlash.
If Steemit succeeds (which it obviously will) it will make a big appearance in China and other countries where state censorship is used.
All my best wishes to you and keep on STEEMing!
