Voice beta launches this Friday!

in hive-134230 •  5 years ago 

Good day, blockchain socialites! We're getting closer to the imminent launch of Voice. The Voice team just release conditions, expectations and protocols for beta users and sign ups. Have a look.

On February 14th, we will begin inviting groups of users who requested access so we can take on feedback in a defined, manageable, and efficient way.

Before this happens, there are a few things we want you to know:

  • Initially, Voice Beta will be released to those residing in the United States. As we optimize, we will continue a steady roll out globally in the English language.
  • Invitations will be regularly sent in groups while we test the platform. If you haven’t already, tell your friends to request beta access!
  • To start, all content on Voice Beta will only be visible to logged in, registered users. We expect this to change within weeks, so write with public viewing in mind from the start. 
  • The Voice Tokens that users receive during beta are not transferable and will be reset at a later date (but don’t worry, we’ve got some cool features coming to reward beta testers).
  • Rapid changes of features and stability refinements are expected as we tweak and improve Voice. We will periodically do maintenance on the site, so don’t be alarmed if you see a 404. 
  • Real verified identity is integral to Voice. You’ll notice that we’re using HooYu to confirm a) you’re a real person and b) reside in the United States. 
  • You will be asked to take a selfie during Hooyu registration - this will, for now, be your profile picture on Voice, so don’t forget to smile.

So, what's next?

  • Starting February 14th, invites will begin being sent first to US Residents -- those that took the Pre-Beta survey in the United States, then at random -- to other residents in the US.
  • Invites will contain instructions on how to register for Voice and verify your identity as well as some other tips on using Voice for the first time.
  • As we said when we announced the Road to Voice Beta, we want to share our journey with you. Voice won’t become everything it can be without your involvement, scrutiny, and feedback, at every stage of the process. We encourage you to follow our updates featuring our latest findings, biggest challenges, stories, and behind-the-scenes peeks. Have a question? Just hit reply, we’re here to help.

    Thank you for joining us as we rebuild public trust in media together.

    Why upvoting an advertisment post of a competitor?
    Reminds me to the Ono-Hype some time ago. Hopefully I don´t have to see here dozens of "Hurray"-posts for Voice (because the "authors" get an incentive for it).

    Wenn man vom Teufel redet.

    Super excited about this! I got my email today!

    What are you expecting from Voice that is so exciting, if I may ask?

    Mostly I like the idea of being involved with something from the ground floor. I really feel like I missed the ball with Steemit. I am also excited to see if they have successfully taken the good and left out the bad from competing platforms.

    Excited about this, but truly hoping that they can do something to sway me from using Steem. Something along the lines of a proportionate drop on my holdings here to there, allowing this identity to constitute a real one based on my established web of trust here, etc. I have a lot of questions which I'm sure will be answered. Here's to hoping that we can see Voice as an honorary, evolution of Steem, as far-fetched as that may seem.

    Congratulations @eos.detroit! You received a personal award!
