Vlog 244: First live streaming experience + Leasing steempower is great for investors.

in life •  7 years ago 


Yesterday I tried something different.

Instead of typing a blog post about mice hunting I decided to go live and stream a game.

I wanted to try out dlive for some time now and after 6 hours of preparing for the mice hunt that day, I was kinda done with mice for that night. Let alone write about them :)

Now, game streaming is not really part of 'my blog' and I guess this feeling limits a lot of bloggers on steemit.com.

But why should a limitation of the steemit.com website limit yourself in your own creative freedom?

Still, it took me some time to make the decision and it turned out fine in the end!

I had a lot of fun going 'live'.

It's a very much different experience from vlogging.

Trying out new things like this is just very nice and keeps things 'fresh'.

The other subject of my vlog is leasing steempower and the return on investment.

You probably didn't see my comment on your stream so I'll leave it here again.

Turn Up your mic volume, we couldn't hear you clearly. At least I didn't.

I did see your comment. You weren't the only one. After the stream, I watched the video myself and confirmed it. I'll fix this for next time for sure. I think the trouble was an echo in the mic + to low sound. thanks for the feedback.

Just wanted to make sure :) Looking forward for your future streams. What other games do you play?

Great @exyle I wouldn't let the limitation of the steemit website ebb the flow of my own creative freedom! That is what i learned majorly from this post!

I want to be involved with Dtube and another with Dsound because he is both a singer and a producer. But our third guy has been trying to crack up something with DLive. This post helped. I contacted him to read this.

Yeah, i know you've been here for a while and the next one will be better. Narked about the low sound volume too though.

Thanks

The rates that your naming on the minnowbooster site sounds pretty decent. I do however have a bad experience with buying delegation with such terms. What if prices rise or fall. I just stopped my delegation with blocktrades because i would loose 30% on my delegation request. So it is a knife that cuts both ways.

But I will look into the minnowbooster delegation market and see what is possible for a small shrimp like myself. Tnx for sharing your insights.

After some further investigation. It is a nice investment for people delegating steem to others. But for those who are getting steem it is a huge loss. It is practily the same as blocktrades. A loss of about 20 - 30% of what you get delegated. I wil not bore you with the math behind it but if you are interested feel free to visist my last blog post about my 15k delegation of blocktrades.

Leasing steempower would definitely help the whole community to grow, will attract even members who cannot invest big initially, hence improving the Steemit adoption rate and will ultimately increase the STEEM price!

So true

@exyle I think that creating additional income streams is a good thing. Leasing will allow many people that would like to do so to create added income that could very well make a big difference in a lot of lives.................

But why should a limitation of the steemit.com website limit yourself in your own creative freedom?

Nicely said and I agree with you.
Glad you had a great time with Dlive. I do like the idea 💡 of leasing Steem power. However, have you noticed that it’s more profitable if Steem is higher? Am I wrong? I mean, if Steem price goes down, shouldn’t they adjust the amount of Steem power being leased? I might be wrong, but with the price where the Steem is now it’s just not worth it to lease it.

I guess it's a free market and prices should adjust accordingly. I have never leased or leased out my SP so regarding that I'm not 100% sure but it makes sense to me.

That’s a good point.

Yes, in life you should never be afraid to do something new and go only forward!

Didn't know the difference between MinnowBooster and SmartSteem before this video, and the idea with the whitelist is really good. We should all try to promote the good quality content here and not just think about profit.
I haven't tried leasing steempower yet since I'm a small user here but it might be something to think about in the future. What is you opinion on delegate steempower to boots for smaller users? Or is it still better to lease out steempower?
Have you ever consider in leasing out steempower or do you want to keep your steempower?

I have to test Dlive sometime when I have time to play with my friends.
As always really enjoyed your vlog.
Have a nice day exyle.

Leasing steempower is great for investors i am agree with your opinion.you always sharing your real life moment with all steemians friend.yesterday your post of dlive video i am seeing.i am always impressive your every post.leasing steempower is a good and important idea for all investetors.your thought skills very different of any each other person.i am no compared doing of your high quality.thank u for your good opinion post sharing. well done sir. @exyle

When I first read this, I thought you'd made a game of mice hunting! LOL That would be funny to watch you live stream. You know, tag them with Nerf guns or something :)

playing was fun on dlive you stream was amazing seems like you are in love with that :) that's the beauty of steemit

Hi @exyle on Steemit! Good to see your smile this morning ☺ glad to hear your vote of confidence for dLive! I have been trying my hand at it but i think i need to upgrade my equipment to make it work. My specialty is far from technical so it is a learning curve. Which is doable. Just need to be creative in my efforts. I have been considering the use of bots & leasing to help make some extra gains. I think though, it's really important to have whitelist. It's the interity on this platform that i appreciate most. Spam and no brain content, copying and seeing it rewarded highly is really frustrating. No doubt, Steemland has a lot to offer! Love exploring new things.

Hope to hear more about your mousy issue! 🐁 🙈 The realities of life eh?! Haha guess as long as we are happy and doing good. Adding value in one way or another, What does it matter.

Have a great day too! See ya next time.

Morning @exyle. I like the idea of a test account. I think I might start the process for that today (don't have 5 Steem to by one) so I can test Steepshot and possibly DLive.

Q&A on DLIve would be great, especially if it was not too late in the day! 😊

You didn't mention the mice. Any news on that front.

Have a fun day!

Trying new things in life always gives fresh feeling to the life.
Streaming live really a great pleasure when you done for first time or even later, I get that feeling when I did a live on YouTube, but never tried on DTube or anywhere.

And leasing steem power is really great weapon for investors when they don't have enough power.

It was cool, just need some adjustments. I think I would watch you live streaming.
It's right decision not to limit yourself to one thing and try different stuff.

@exyle,
I think this is the best opportunity to collect SP, and I hope this will be the last time we can grab more SP! Here again we will get SMT updates and SP will become the precious! So, it's great you decided to talk about it at this point!

Cheers~

So glad you made this video @exyle. I'm actually also looking to delegate some of my Steem to someone who can lease their Steem Power to me. If you can help guide me in the right direction here I would appreciate it

One thing I like about Dlive is that they don't take a cut of the author rewards and not only you can stream on the platform but you can upload your videos to it.

I can't vouch for either Minnowbooster or SmartSteem because I have very little SteemPower. Upvoted!

fantastic experience that was everything was perfect about that to start off weekend would be fun to do the live streaming :D

I'm glad you managed to sort out the initial problems in you live stream. Are you considering live streaming other games in the future?

I think it will have to be SF 5 for now. I'll think about it.

Oh, yes, my friend, the Steempower leasing is a great idea, and I personally have no doubts that this can have a significant beneficial effect on our ecosystem, because it is one more step towards development, as individual participants, as all together! Thank you Mark.

Excellent streaming friend and i really enjoy watching your street fighter matches live streaming against ezzy and it's really fun and no doubt dlive is fantastic development on steem blockchain and it added more strength to it and it's great now we can share our live moments with our friends and follower's although the streaming is little slow but their is always a room for improvement in every technology and i hope dlive will remove this flaw soon, thanks for sharing some live moments with us friend and wish you a fantastic weekend ahead, Stay blessed

I think your post is critically important and needs to get everyone's steam

nice post, I like your idea

You're a good YouTube guy, let's keep it that way

In my view I see you as a wise investor and you are very smart in creating multiple streams of income.

Leasing, that is certainly interesting. Hadn't thought of that. I'm going to try build my profile the old fashioned way. I am enjoying the process.

too close to the camera, you can see pimples

very good idea..my dear friend @exyle.
thank you for sharing with us..

YIO = YouTube is Over .

great post, and super idea @exyle

OMG 244 VLOG!!!

If I were to delegate my SP, I'd get a return. All of those people who I've been voting for would get nothing.

This happens more and more now. If I was to delegate my SP, my incentive to vote is gone. That means I'm not looking at posts. 20000 new accounts. They need eyes in order to succeed. A lot of eyes.

Sure, short term thinking it might be a good idea to delegate. Long term, it's the equivalent of shooting ourselves in the foot.

Have a good day.

Thanks for great story..i appreciate this writing..i like this life...

Leasing steam power is such a great idea for investors,you are having a great time too.

managing steemit, I think the work through the virtual media that is not known by the community around what our routines so far that make money. while a routine that looks like you are in the pursuit of a mouse makes you move more than just sitting in front of a computer or the like.

sometimes I rest by teasing the plants or seeing the animals behind the house to find new ideas that I will post. and resting my eyes from computer radiation.

good

you had a great experience of using dlive plus steem power is the main power which empower everyone

How do small time steemians benefit from such benevolence? Can we enjoy some leasing? It doesn't matter if the returns ain't much really.

Going live takes preparation but eventually it is going to be that easy, congratulations on breaking new

Steempower leasing is good opportunity for new user.

first experience was the greatest i saw the stream its great bro awesome opportunities for big investors to earn

Bro you are right that this platform is not only for posting photos.

Instead we make videos, streaming games

Bro Dlive didn't work for me. I try two time both both time i failed to live.

Sometime OBS looks like complicated even OBS not help me to connect with YouTube.

Do you know that why OBS not work for me? Even my net speed is good.

Bro i don't know about release SteemPower? and How this is best investment? Do you mean Release Steempower to minnowbooster?

It is better to buy Delgation steempower from Blocktrades or Minnowbooster?

Thanks for sharing such good information.

ur big fan here

lease me! yeh dat audio doe... Uploaded to Dlive before and it maybe is better than dtube... plus they dnt take any cuts..

Do you think that live on this platform could defeat youtube live streaming and stay on the same level in the future with twitch ?

Thanks for great story……...

plz Sir Fix you mic volume not a clearly Leasing every time same issue

nice job,and i have an question what do u think about new han solo

You probably didn't see my comment on your stream so I'll leave it here again.please follow me @mdasadulhaque

Wow this is interesting, leasing of steempower I am much interested in knowing how this works, thanks for sharing.

Hi @exyle an upvote from you would mean a lot right now.

The first thing i did when i got to steemit is trying out all the platforms, i think it's a really great thing to do to really know where you want to grow.
I've tried, dlive, dtube, dmania, busy, still need to check what is up with zappls, steepshot and utopian.
Dlive was the hardest one for me though, the damn OBS didn't want to work with my graphics card

Live here is really good !

Your vlogs are nice to watching ;)

it was good to see you on cam man playing ya game! i'd stream gaming more but my computer can barely play the game instead of both of them.

Nice post, nice to meet you @exyle

Great advice, I'm definitely gonna use everything steemit has to offer

good idea.
thank you

I just joined steemit, I see your post is very interesting and also an inspiration for me in writing, I just posted for the first time. please see and check

First time out is never your best but you seem like your giving it a try. The more you do it you'll only get better, Good Luck!

It is good to have new experiences like you did it with mice.Demarcations should not be fixed for any find so that viewers/readers should have interaction with something new.Similarly leasing steempowers should also be greatly advantageous for novel bloggers.
