Yes that day can not come soon enough. Segregation runs so deep on so many levels be it for colour, sex, race. I see it as a weapon really to disempower and I await for the time when we can all rise up together . Thank you for your response x

Well I do know what mass adoption would do to the reward pool and that is a huge fear of mine and selfish as well because I want to grow. That's why I'm looking into purchasing steem if and when I have the money. Becoming a minnow is a priority of mine. I hope I achieve that before the SMTs release

I don't see it as selfish, just honest. You will make it before SNT's hit. They said from March but that doesn't mean they will all launch in March. Musing is coming mid year which was announced during Steemfest.
Most users are happy it takes a little time still and is a natural response as we have worked so hard to get this far. It is not just the new users though but all the dormant accounts will come back when Steem rises.

Well let's hope for the best. I pray to be in a better position before then. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the issue.

To be honest I face the same challenge. It's quite strange the indifference towards steem. Some are aware and still, they won't even give it a try. I'm hoping with the development of dapps we can attract more people

Thanks for the answer @Anonsteve!

The Creative Commons BY-NC (non-commercial) license defines non-commercial as “Not primarily intended for or directed towards commercial advantage or monetary compensation”. The interesting part here is the “primary intention”. Could I claim that the primary intention was to share knowledge or entertain or something, and earning some tokens was just a fortunate side effect?

Possibly. I'm by no means an expert but if your monetary compensation was incidental and not based on an agreement of any kind, I think you'd probably be on a strong footing in court.

Also the earnings will probably be so small that any company would ever sue over that.

Still I think I will go by your first recommendation and try to always use freely licensed content and I recommend everyone else to do the same, unless Creative Commons changes their terms and explicitly mention sites where you can earn tokens with real value.

Nail hit on head. Considering human attention is one of the most valuable resources of the current era, it's nice to see people joining decentralized, transparent alternatives to the exploitive data mining alternatives.

Thanks for leaving your thoughts!

Absolutely spot on! Looking forward to seeing you around the blockchain! 🤙

Wonderful response! Couldn't agree more with you, and I'm happy to be a part of this thing with you!

Great to hear that. Steem on!

Thanks for your well thought response, and for your attention this morning. You're clearly a valuable member of the community!

Thanks! But What is the difference between Living above Sin and being Able To Withstand The Temptation of Sin. Aren't They The same??

Hello again @cryptoandcoffee, I just wanted to let you know that you really helped me with this answer.

I was planning to catch up and see what's the latest about SMT.

I guess we're going to find out more soon.

Thanks for the answer :)

Go and look at Exyles blog from yesterday morning it is very interesting.
https://steemit.com/exyle/@exyle/nj2eqrfa
Lots of unanswered questions as which ones will actually survive without delegation.

Thank you, I definitely will!

It would be nice to be able to set our main accounts as reset account for our alt accounts tough, so we won't have to worry too much about the security of our alt accounts.

These suggestions should definitely get somehow to the musing dev/s. I had some of them also in my mind but you came with a lot more. I am confident that musing will only get better but it takes time to perfect. It's great though that we at least know what we want.

Well, I appreciate that. My guess is, most of these changes listed would be considered minor, but could be done as a gesture of good will. Coming up with a sustainable income strategy, though, one that brings engagement and thus users with SP to the platform, that more or less curate themselves, will probably be a bigger proposition. We'll see how that goes.

>I sometimes write an answer and push submit and nothing. I then have to copy and paste the answer again after refreshing. It can take 5 or 6 attempts to post an answer.

Try to use another browser. Maybe it will work better.

Great answer very clear.

Thank you for your time and great ecplanation.

No answer, in the history of musing, has ever made me laugh so hard!!!!

That was great, thanks for making my day!!! 😂 🤣

Yes, that is what I was referring to. Sounds a bit harder and riskier than I thought. Thanks for your detailed answer, much appreciated.

Thank you for your response. I took a look at your previous post and it explained the process very clearly. Thank you.

I don't think it is a quick or easy way. I think it takes 3 days to complete. Some sort of blockchain level conversion fixed at $1.00 worth of steem for each sbd. Part of the system that peggs sbd to 1.00 value.

I'm digging into it tonight so if no one else knows here I'll let you know.

Inspirational! The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any. We steemians must stand together!

>Unfortunately we are only allowed $1000 per year due to regulations for investment in the crypto market.

I never knew of that $1000 cap. Well, I haven't invested any of my personal money--would have loved to but I don't have that much. But I'm happy growing my account gradually and engaging with people.

Hello @cryptoandcoffee and thanks for the answer, I feel the same. Lucky us that we are not addicted to some game which could take away more of our free time.

Sorry, I had to edit my question two times, looks like I'm still sleepy :)

Don't worry I pulled an all nighter trying to get back into routine. I am rather hopeful of doing very well then it will leave me thinking lol. There is no such thing as free time anymore. I would hate to be married to me.

Oh God! You too!!! 😁 Looks like I'll be telling two people to go to sleep from now on 😁
Congrats and I'll be watching the results!

No, actually I meant downvote from Steemit itself. But I just ignore spam when I see it, as long as we make the good post rise, I'm happy.

Well, not the use of it, but more like, where is it and how do we use it. And yes, a lot of times it is misused by a big Steemer against a smaller one for disagreeing, kind of a waste.

I tried the link, and it just takes me Steemit, no downvote button there. But I think I see where my problem lie. The flag button on the top right is the downvote button, am I correct with this ?

Yep! That's the one. Downvote = Flag

Posted using Partiko Android

Aah, now I get it. They just hide it better than a while ago when the downvote and upvote were against each other ... or maybe I'm thinking of Dtube. However, I'm just gonna make a post and downvote myself just to try it out.

That I don't see the option to downvote on Steemit, only the upvote, and I saw a recently downvote, so I started to question things.

On Steemit, flag is a down-vote. On some dApps such as busy.org, you just have a down-vote in form of thumb-down. It does look like Steemit was trying to hide it, but then Ned really loves to down-vote people.

Yeah, I just found out that it was the flag button. I made a post and downvoted myself just to try it out. But wait, Ned likes to downvote people ?

Oh, yeah! Big time, he's not very good in dealing with disagreement.
There was an uproar once when he down-voted !pancakes or !popcorn, I don't remember which one.
Thankfully, he un-voted after being spammed to do so.

Ow, so he is one of those "I'm right and if you disagree I will make sure you suffer the consequences" guy. Didn't expect that from him, I thought he was a cool guy who was just chilling with everybody. Oh, and I like the fact that those two you mentioned have automated post.

There's another one he down-votes all the time, but I'm not going to summon it.
It's NSFW. xD
