Delete a post? Not on the blockchain ;-)

I wish my well written posts (not many lol) would earn me $40...

I LOVE Steemit´s concept, but some people have it way too easy here. The wealthy get wealthier and the blogging class (heroes ?) has to stick around for 4-6 hours a day to scrape $20 bucks a day.

This post here shows that many users get upvotes just for their name, not for their content. I see a lot of concern about self-voting, but voting without even clicking the blog, let alone read it, seems to be fine. Weird...

Imma follow you just for that comment. I agree how are people spending hours on posts that must of taken them hours to make and barely gets 100$ while craig grant love honey makes 100$ for posting cell phone pics taken during her work day... Jesus

:D thanks for the support man!
Never lose faith, I think this place has enormous potential, just needs some adjustments and going mainstream. Time will bring both, no doubts

Im gunna follow you both, active user always upvote good content. Do the same and ill upvote you with my measly .20 cent (@full power) upvotes lol

Imma follow all 3 of you. This has been a nagging thought of mine for a while now.

Delete should be fine on the blockchain. The goal is to record everything so you can't reverse transactions, but you can record the fact that the post was deleted after it was added. I don't see anything wrong with that Otherwise applications that use the blockchain will be restricted in many ways.

Lol not on the blockchain

I think I am going to "Oops Post" a couple of posts like this one. you are doing good. :)

Only makes you money when you have 100's or 1000's of followers (including the right whale bots!)

LOL! you know your channel is great when you post something wrong and still make a killing!

Flagged.

Not because I'm an asshole, but because I don't believe that a "deleted" post deserves $193 out of the reward pool...Especially when the user already makes thousands of dollars a week by posting from two different channels.

And doesn't reply to comments on either one! ;)

Shit, 3 minutes too soon. Lmao!

Dammit!

He saw you comment and was all "that sob ain't gonna get me today! I'll show him!"

lol I tried to delete this within about 2 minutes of it going live... at that time it had $33 in upvotes... not sure who upvoted it afterwards!!

Nothing can be deleted from the Steem blockchain. Ever.

not sure who upvoted it afterwards!!

Autovote bots that can't/don't read, and/or idiots. ;)

@dollarvigilante, In that case, you could have posted this "oops" post by "Declining rewards". That might stop people commenting like this about you. Hope you consider this next time.

You can't change payout after its posted. The opps is clearly an edit

I don't think this post was an edit. Because his intentions are clear to let know all that he posted by mistake in the wrong channel.

Even though this post earned some amount of $s and been criticized by people here. It's my suggestion to @dollarvigilante decline payments before posting for this kind of posts in future.

"Hope you consider next time" having a little summary of my comment there.
Thanks, @drprepper for letting me elaborate my comment above.

All people can do is flag.... so flag people....

Yeah, no offense, @jeffberwick, but this deserves a flag.

And a massive pile of shit...I agree. ;)

Upvoted as always :)
I just posted pictures of my holiday in Greece and i think its my best post if any 1 could Resteem and Upvote and that would mean the world :)

Yeah, I don't get it, I'm hardly getting any traction. Checking your stuff out now.

66 votes for a mistake really? this auto voting is BS!!!

Unknown.jpg

This false voting will hurt steemit in the long run.
Jeff is cool but this is bull....

it has more upvotes at the moment than the correct post he posted later on

I 100 % agree with you on this!

How can I get these auto votes?! So F%Ded up. I'm a follower and a fan - so this isn't about Jeff , it's the principle. When you're a whale, even your oopsies are money makers :-(

cant delete it

This is currently making more money then your personal channel post.

Agree with you. I like and support Jeff I was just saying...


Now this work Jeff did needs your guys votes.

No need to delete it, it's getting a lot of upvotes already

Proof that people don't read the stuff on Steemit. They just up vote to get curation awards.

Yes, it's already over 100 dollars. But Jeff has a lot of followers

But they all up vote just to up vote?

This wrong ooops post has more upvotes at the moment than the right post he posted minutes later

No way to delete posts. Once on the blockchain always on the blockchain

yeap ! You got that right !!
Got to pay attention before you press

Kinda cool actually!

You can always edit it, haha :)

so far...there is no way to delete post...but the comment you can delete :)

Why does this feel like a trick question? Or an experiment or something. Like Trump playing the media and the fools are going for it because it is all they've got.

Seriously? You can edit a post. You can delete all text, images, videos, etc. You cannot change the FIRST tag. So you can, in effect delete the post by removing all content from the body, or replacing it with a single character or something else altogether.

you are so positive in every aspect. you have channeled a lot of positive energy to become a helpful person through information. i appreciate your work!!

Just posted something similar to this, law of attraction has been observed by many and is a great tool to rid of problems and difficulties in ones life. It helps draw in positivity and its true what you give to the world you only get in return.

Helpful and Inspiring Always. Thanks a lot

I follow you on Both.. Thank You, but you cannot delete.

this is a joke. Some of the comments show folks are using programs to put random comments. The platform should find a way to detect generated and user created content or let users flag them.

No one is above mistake! It happens to the best of us!

I upvoted because I had the same question. Mistakes can answer questions for others.

Love it, 210 upvotes at the moment

Sure you can.. edit.. wipe clean and then write this post has been deleted.. if you want to do that.

@dollarvigilante
204 votes! not bad for a wrong post! I struggle to get just 04 on my right posts!

@zebbad

I know.... right. Same here on a good day...but he has great message

LOL... A new phase shift in his reality creating . Welcome to the blockchain.

Instead of "Oops LOL," this is "Oops Gold!"

What a great headline...brilliant way to double up on the views and the votes!

Lol! I wondered the same thing one day when I posted the wrong link. It should be easier to do.

I think there is no way to delete it except maybe leaving it empty with e.g. one dot. 😉
But in this concrete case, I believe it would be better to leave it as it is now with the link to the article where you wanted to post it in the first place.

Unfortunately not. You could perhaps post on the correct account?

I hate to say lame, but lame.

I upvoted!!!!!!! Yay🙌

I totally agree. Just focus on yourself and thereby create your own reality. You must be happy. Follow your passions and pursue them. As long as you don't hurt anyone, good karma will befall you. You get what you dish out.

delete 136.14$ it is a good idea? lolll

Wow that's incredible. Even a mistake can make money if your the right person.

Got any more of them

Jeff I love these videos so much. They're helping me stay on track in my own life, leaving old destructive patterns behind. You are seriously prolific too, in your output of video and written content. Inspired dude. Seriously!

life is all perspective, if you have a bad attitude, life is depressing, you have a positive outlook, life is great!

One thing I don't understand: where is this steemit blockchain stored and how we know there is no mechanism that could be used to delete stuff or even close the website?

You cant delete it, best you can do is change the title and content to "DELETE".

That's life. It's always like this, isn't it? Delete is an illusion, really. Once you do something there is a permanent record. I think we can all learn a lot from block chain technology.

Great video man, and great points. I love the way you think

Upvote just for lolz. Have 1c.

While this oops post is still raking in upvotes, I'd like to take a moment to shamelessly self-promote my most recent post:
