Hey Steemians,
We're bringing you another video on the important nuances of Smart Media Tokens (SMTs). I've been having great conversations with entrepreneurs getting ready for this new technology and it's leading to some very important discussions.
Tune in, share and leave your feedback!

p.s. I though it could be great to have a single channel for devs and entrepreneurs to connect and share their SMT ideas. We're here on Telegram, check it out, and let me know if you think this is the right channel (or if there's a better medium) for this: https://t.me/joinchat/GkIgPA21gpj_m-y_H8hvRQ
@ned ICO distribution mechanism will be baked into the SMT initial creation. Now, as an entrepreneur building my own website hopefully launching an SMT as soon as they come out, we would rather sharedrop on our early adopters, beta testers and other participants to avoid regulatory issues around ICOs.
Would you consider having this as another feature of initial distribution?

This function is baked into the SMT Whitepaper - “Founders Tokens” can be used to set an initial ledger. SMTs can also be birthed up to 100% by Proof of Brain

Hi! Can we please get a statement on what is happening with the steemit as of recently. I was trying to get some answers through the twitter personnel which was pretty much a waste of time. Forget the fact that the site was down several times but as of past few days basic functions such as upvoting or simply writing comments won't work. This should be a priority as this certainly is not helping the steemit growth but the exact opposite. I have been around for a while now so I do still have some patience left but if I was a newbie experience what is happening right now I would simply leave the platform. It would be great to get an official statement what is happening and most importatnly what is being done to fix the problem. As of now it just seems that nobody really cares. Thank you so much for adressing the issue. Tomas

Excellent post and comment. I can vouch for the newbie portion of your comment.
I'm here not very long. The first week or so I was on a high. I thought, wow! This is exactly what I was waiting for. I have much content I wish to put online but did not want it to be strictly controlled by the players who have a monopoly on online content.
The high wore off very quick though. Both as I explored steemit and as I investigated it's existence. Which is why I am now hesitant to upload here also. I would love to.. as I am not even interested in the financial reward but really only interested in contributing to a community that is truly about the creators and the exchange of originality. Which was what I thought steemit was. Still is, to an extent. There is much content which appears non genuine though and it appears that the rewards are highly controlled and dare I say, fabricated. So as I stand now, I feel that there are too many negatives. Maybe in the background there is movement towards fixes and new changes which will benefit the existence of steemit, but that information is not easy to obtain. That brings me to the final point, and your main point. Which is, that information is almost GUARDED by those within a certain circle. WHY? One has to pursue deep by joining (or attempting to) the inner circle. This is not good practice. I would think that an open, highly connected manner of keeping everyone informed would be how the system keeps the user-base engaged and feeling like they really are part of this community. WHY is it like this? It feels shady. Anyway... I'm just a "minnow".

Thank you so much for these videos! I read the Whitepaper yesterday for the first time. It sounded good, but I thought "why not just use another blockchain?" despite the somewhat benefits I could see, but this video just really exposes the potential and shows the vision. I can't wait to see all the projects and economics that come from this.

Because Steem is the only blockchain that has proven it can handle the load; and very gracefully no less! We want these projects built on Steem because it will increase the value of Steem and help change the world in positive ways.

I saw a post by @appics and its just amazing how many ideas people are thinking up using SMTs. Im here hoping that an african can bring something to the table s well, im going to try and get this across to all the afro tech wizards I know.
Steem is the future for real.
I have seen lots of great africans on steemit, from @maryfavour, @destinysaid @ehiboss @gbenga and of cause @surpassinggoogle.
I personally believe steem, and in extension SMTs are capable of causing a disruption in the ways africans are viewed, how we are associated with, how we utilize the internet and how we much content we are able to bring forth to the world(we have a buttload of indigenous tech, stories and inventions that never see the light of day)
Case study is the massive influx of Africans into steemit, if I cant speak for all Africans, I can definitely speak for Nigerians then :D

Yes. I have learned so much about Nigeria through steemit. I am learning about the people of nigeria mainly through the stories of @greenrun. He has some fantastic and wonderful story, they put me right there in the village. So yes I have learned, and am continuing to a lot about Africa. In America, the only thing I ever heard on the MSM was how Nigerians once again conned some stupid American, how some phone scam started in Nigeria. Some of the stories may have been true, I don't know and to be honest, I don't care. The past is the past, steemit is the future, and I see in that future a beautiful future for Nigeria. One more plug for @greenrun - everyone if you do not believe me about the power of his words go read his "Eunuch" story.

STEEM would get a major boost once SMT is implemented and I'm pretty excited to be here to witness this awesome development. Thanks one more time for the support, I appreciate it.

I'm starting to see SMT as a bridge between centralized and decentralized systems. Decentralized distribution really makes sense since we rely on proven mathematical algorithms and the inherently secure and transprent blockchain technology. I'm wondering if user interface tweaks can improve privacy though. for example, can't we hide the wallet with a personal password? It might be easier to hack but without the appopriate key, they would not be able to get your money. At least we have control over who sees each wallet. It can be accessed thruogh the blockchain but may reduce spam as well since novice spammers don't know easily who has a biger voting power.

I believe there is a ton of distribution mechanism possible and Steem actual implementation is just an example. I would love to create a SMT that reward user based on their followers vests and not based on vote. If we can have this kind of flexibility in a decentralized way in Steem it would be magic. I like what Byteball been doing with declarative smart contract and oracles, see this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1617816.0

This is what will bring STEEM market cap to 500 billion or even more in a longer turn. It is obvious and there is no doubt about that. This new paradigm of social media and content creators getting rewards for the content they create is something we have been all waiting for. With that possibility to do SMT will put STEEM as a reserve currency and it will do to the token the same thing what ICO's did to Ethereum and will result in a mass adoption.
I would like to thank you and your team @ned from the name of all worldwide photography community for making this possible as it will bring the ways to monetize the content and sharing fair rewards for all the talented artists. We have started building our photography community BeScouted on STEEM blockchain as soon as i have learned about Steem a good few month ago. The only regret being that i did not learn about this earlier, but better later than never. We are bootstrapping our project and we will definitely be building and SMT as it opens so many doors and provides so many opportunities to engineer new ways people interact with the content and get rewarded for doing so.
We are already bringing members of our community on the blockchain and this is our small contribution to the work that you are doing.
Keep up the great work and we can't wait for the update to roll out. The BeScouted Team

I'm still thinking out some of the issues for my own potential SMT for my social network. One thing I am quite clear about though is that I don't know of a better way to handle the issue of copyright than by using media fingerprinting as Youtube and others do. When I looked into this for another project a few year ago, I found it was necessary to pay for access to fingerprinting databases and technology since the cost of developing a custom solution would be prohibitive vs. paying for a license.
I appreciate that for many, the idea of copyright policing is counter to anarchistic principles - but I don't really see how the network can be protected from litigation without it. I wrote about this in some detail with regards to steem, not so long ago.

Well, claiming to be "the very first SMT on the Steem Blockchain" is a little different than saying, they "will be one of the first meta-tokens to launch," especially considering that there is no way to create the tokens at the moment. As far as we know, SMTs are just an idea, until the hard fork is proposed and accepted.
Words matter when it comes to these things in this space. False advertising/bad first impressions can do a lot of damage.

You make some great points about why anybody doing something centralised shouldn't be for their tokens, not only about the issue of control, but for rogue employees, being hacked etc.
The whole point of Crypto-Currency after all, is to have that decentralisation to avoid any one or many companies controlling any part of it.

Very happy to see APPICS going to be built on Steem Blockchain. There are lots of people who are not the blogger but stays on the social media sites like facebook and Instagram and loves sharing the pictures and their days. There are many people who don't like to write long blog posts and don't like to just post pictures here on the steemit. This could be totally game changer for them. Once APPICS gets popular in the mobile users, we will have much more people coming to Steemit to write blogs. For me, Steemit is an advanced version of Tumblr and APPICS will be next generation Facebook and Instagram.

SMT seems to be a fantastic project, but I love talking about priorities.

Hey @Ned I've got an idea for an SMT. What if there was an economy based on need? Like, if you needed something then you should get it, and if people could vouch for you to prove that you actually have that specific need and then the community could vote on who they would like to receive tokens and how much. It could even go a step farther with some kind of escrow or trust system on the distribution side of it to make sure that the money gets spent on that specific need. I see so many posts on SteemIt from people saying they're in hard times, it would be really nice if there was some way to arrange assistance for the folks who can verify their claims. Sort of like a cross between Indiegogo and GrantCoin. What do you think?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
I like this idea but how well does it play in with modern economics?
The idea of condition-less giving is a great one but how do you attribute value to those who receive?
As in, how do you convince people to give? Solely based on the notion of neediness? It has short term potential but what is the long term potential?
How do the tokens have any value? if they're being given out for free all the time?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Honestly, it might be a little bit disruptive to modern economics.
It would work just like any other crypto currency, but the minting would go to people who need financial assistance via a proof-of-brain verification process. Basically they would need to prove to the community that they need assistance, and the community would choose what goes where by voting, like on SteemIt.
The real problem that I would predict with a crypto like this is that the exchange value might consistently decrease if nobody holds onto the tokens after minting them. There would need to be some kind of secondary market value for the tokens to attract investors.

Exactly, if the sole purpose of the coin were to simply be given away, it would have no value.
You could however, start a charity initiative ontop of another coin or create a multi purpose coin that has an aspect or a community site dedicated to helping those in need.

@ned
I'll start this off by saying I've read the whole whitepaper but it was more of as skim-through to get the fundamentals.
Now, i think steem is onto something huge here, potential for massive disruption and (hopefully) a paradigm shift for how content is controlled and distributed (centralized vs decentralized)
The issue I have seen arise with nearly all decentralized platforms is the proper moderation of both plagiarism and spam.
I read that the new SMTs will have parameters for how curation rewards are distributed.
"For STEEM itself, curation was originally the quadratic
ICR=, as of the Steem hard fork 19 it is the linear ICR=."
If I understood this correctly, you can effectively implement a system that allows already upvoted comments to gain a considerable advantage over maintaining their top position solely based on the idea that "because x people liked this y people will be more inclined to do so and as such we'll give it an advantage to push relevant content to y users".
I think this model has proven to be a complete failure in regards to comments, at least. You'll notice that comments that usually reach the top of trending posts on facebook (as an example) tend to be comments that
1: were posted early
2: More often than not, rehashed content that can be found pasted in nearly any trending comment section.
Depending on what a website creator chooses, they can effectively create either 1) an inner circle of commentors that profit solely based on the will of the website owner 2) allows users to abuse a system that rewards commenting the same "trending" rehashed content. I think what you'll comer across is having the same comments posted on different posts all trend and make a lot of money for people who effectively put in no work to creating them.
I think steem has a lot of potential but this SMT system has triggered a lot of red alarms in my head for potential abuse. I'll continue reading through the white paper and finding ways to (potentially) exploit the system.
If I misunderstood the way the system works and made an analogy on baseless information, please let me know.

Appreciate your talk about this last night in #SanFrancisco. I've loved the concept of #Steem for some time, but last night you opened my eyes to the possibilities. It's way more than just this blogging platform.
I went home and read the white paper and am fired up for #SMT's. I think they will revolutionize the way publishers monetize, share and curate information.
Do you think that it's going to get confusing for people to track all of their different tokens? Do you think there will be Dapps/apps that will allow novice users to easily track their tokens that are spread over the net?

This is a lot of good information. I'm still processing lol will probably need ot listen again to fully process, but this is interesting. Are these tokens only for bigger entrepreneurs, like companies, or can any business owner create their own token?

Hi, @ned. I have a question.
What would stop a government agency from shutting down a website issuing an SMT?
I understand that Steem is decentralized but a centralized website issuing their own token is an easy target if a government agency wanted to shut it down for issuing a token. Even though that token is backed by Steem, the site itself is not decentralized. How could this be prevented?

I am too nooby on ICT and this technology to really understand this whitepaper.
But from what I understand this will be implemented into the Steem blockchain, which is quite strange but we'll see what happens... One thing will need to change though, the Steemit-site will need to be a lot better protected than now, because today again I had 4 hours of downtime... Please think of this too!

Hello Ned, will the SMT project be something that can integrate or stream blogs posts or articles from members own websites on Stemmit website? Is this what this is about? If not, I would love to see something like this happen. I think it would make Steemit even more attractive and intersting a bit more.

Great post and update on what is going on in Steem. I think it is great that you guys are doing this, but doesn't that mean you guys control over which SMTs are available to the market? I'm not too sure about the Steem technology, and I'll do more research on it, but it doesn't seem right to me.

A question from a Newbie after reading the Whitepaper numerous times and reading up on the topic of SMTs here on various blog posts, I see that ERC20 tokens are used as a parallel example for us readers to understand what SMTs shall be like.
However, the part that I didn't fully catch on too was the user interface (front end).
Shall there be a front end made for us such as the one described in this video:
The reason I ask this is because many people with fantastic ideas and a lot of potential in this world are not programmers and it would be a shame to see this potential utilized elsewhere or fall through because of the user interface on the front end of things.
I sincerely hope that my "newbie" question isn't taken the wrong way, because my hope is to ensure that this fantastic idea of SMTs with all its potentials gets out there and just rocks the house as far as the Crypto scene goes. I may be a newbie, but I am hooked on Steemit HOOK, LINE AND SINKER.
Thanks for your time and look forwards to hearing from the right people on this.
Jack
