Perhaps not evergreen but something that could produce content and curation rewards over a period longer than the current 7 days?
I've heard it mentioned and griped about in a number of ways (mostly its a scaling problem) so, looking to do something about it and have been supporting a project that may just be able to produce this steem blockchain miracle, kinda like these grapes in a desert.
Grapes aren't evergreen but when you see them growing in a desert then you know something is afoot.
All photos taken by me in the Kalahari desert Namibia.
Drop some comments and suggestions below or simply just stick around and wait for the reveal.
PS. There is a teeny tiny little hint in the picture below
Apart from evergreen, I think there are some posts that should be immortalized because of their timeless impact on the blockchain, I think steemit needs a page for these kind of posts I could call it THE STEEM HALL OF FAME

I totally agree and have been thinking about various ways of enabling evergreen content on top of the current Steem protocol. It's a shame that short-term content and ridiculous postings are being rewarded more than well-researched, valuable content.
I'd love to see authors of guides, tutorials, journalistic pieces and the like get more and long-term rewards as opposed to news articles, memes and more-than-daily snapshots or updates.
What would be a good way of developing such ideas?

Yes! I just wish people that spend the time and energy to create helpful content on this platform were rewarded more than a post with just a meme. I understand that people can do what they would like with their SP but I see posts all the time from people that are trying to make this platform a better place with tutorials or educational posts and they aren't being rewarded like I believe they should be. I try to give them upvotes but my .03 doesn't do much.
Accounts like tribesteemup and others are doing an awesome job to promote great content I just hope more people start to do the same.
I am also excited about the idea of a evergreen reward system. I know personally I have researched the Steemit platform using posts that were 11 months old and they were extremely helpful but there wasn't a way for me to show my appreciation. Hopefully soon that will change!

I'm a big advocate of evergreen content support. Video, Tutorials, quality posts all deserve the potential of evergreen rewards. I have big posts I wrote 6-8 months ago that get comments all the time still today.
Quality video content takes forever to produce, and generally can't be properly rewarded in a 7 day period much less even discovered.
Discovery goes hand and hand with this though, the ability to pin/make a profile for a user is critical to choosing good content to feature for evergreen lifespan.

Great suggestion!
I'd go even further: a personalized Steem(it) desktop for all those evergreens would be huge - a starting screen where I can decide which type of content I wanna see according to my personal preferences. That would require a more detailed tagging and sorting mechanism, and would probably lead to a more fulfilled user experience. Currently the only "sorting feature" we do have is the follow button that accumulates (depending on how many you follow) hundreds of posts per day in one single feed. A desktop with several windows would be much better. Examples for windows / sorting options:
You name it :-)
I believe that an important characteristic in a content creation and distribution network is that content is actively offered by the UI. That will automatically lead to a higher engagement = more integrity = better user experience.

Interesting idea. I think for such "long" posts need a separate tab on the main page, or something like the function "stick on top" as do on the forums. Set the time limit, if there was no uptotes or comments for a certain time, then the fixed one is removed from this page.

For the moment 7 days period is more then better and i am saying this because we are in a stage when we want mass adoption.
It is easier for the moment to that with a time frame of 7 days regarding the rewards... again we are talking about mass adoption.
After we will have at least 1 Million active accounts ( yeap i mention active) we can think about it... of course this will have to involve the development team and the witnesses and so on!
Now as you know the SMT's are around the corner and one of them is about projects that involve a greener planet... i am keeping an eye on it as i like the project and i want to delegate some steem power to the project.
Have a great evening all and always Steem On!

I would for sure. Evergreen content is the cornerstone of content actually. That's why musicians have "Best of" that's why good quality movies are relevant even today.
And the same applies to everything from writing, to Youtube videos, to mainstream TV shows who keep being popular for years due to their quality.
No doubt that I would love to see that on steem.

I can see the problem with the current reward model being that you get paid one off on steem while if you hosted a blog and signed up to an ad network you get the evergreen effect.
I can think of two possibilities for steem. the first one (inspired by the solar hint) some sort of contribution of resources to help with scalability issues.
the second some sort of reward per view system like the BAT/brave project.

When I've thought about this concept I've arrived on the problem of how to initiate said payouts. Given the way the payout system works, if everyone were allowed to pay out whenever they wanted it could open up a big window for spammers to abuse that ability, using the fluctuation for their advantage. So that's where I find fault. As to how/when (and how those interact) the payout would work

As a global public book, blockchain can add more transparency to the market - every artwork can be registered on this ledger and any exchange of artwork, along with a recordable exchange rate.
Counterfeiting will not be possible, the initial authentication of this work will serve as a timeless record. Now, so much artistic value is determined by a small group - blockchain can erase this subjectivity as well as allow greater access to every work of art as an investment for a large number of people.

I think the "evergreen" idea would not only be great for our current community members, but it would make it far more attractive for some high rollers to join.

I can say that I 100% believe there would be a huge market for this.

Instituting evergreen content is necessary in this blockshain! It would increase curative potentials for steemit community.
However, like the Natural evergreens, the likes of Namibian grapes, such posts must possess qualities that makes them thrive beyond the "ORDINARY". Some of which should be :
1)Creates a lasting impression on the conscious and subconscious of the consumer
2)Attract quality upvoters
3)If it is information, it should possess the quality to make it TREND for quite a long season!

It is not a difficult thing to see evergreen contents on steeemit. Developers just need to make a tool which may filter the quality contents and after verifying by the community that content may be included in the hall of fame tab on steemit or a new app may be launched in which only quality content can be shown.
There are many criteria to select these kind of contents. One is the number of votes received by the post, but it can be manipulated. So, the best thing would be to manually select some quality content by the @curie, @adsactly etc and opinion of the steemit users may be sought on the quality of the contents. User can rank the content according to their choices. Accounts of bots and automatic voters should be excluded in this process. Also the post should not receive any reward for being selected as hall of fame post.
Only vote of users with certain reputation for e.g. more than 50 should be considered. Automatic voting should not be allowed.
There is another way to find out the quality content. Users should be allowed to select and submit the posts of other users. The top selectors can be rewarded to find quality contents. This would really be great!

I think this has been needed all along, and I think that one of the reasons Steemit has used up (and seen disappear) so many good content creators is that, frankly, they see zero point in busting their ass to create great content when it is consistently pushed to the bottom by crap posts, AND the payout period is only 7 days.
Not a great way to entice really good content creators.
