in steemit •  6 years ago  (edited)

How Do You Participate? Simple, Ask Me Anything!

Seriously anything, the best 3 questions win! I will decide based on which questions are the most insightful, intriguing, hardest to answer, or add the most value back to the platform. The deeper the rabbit hole you send me down to give an answer the more likely you are to win.

I will reply to all questions and upvote those that qualify, can’t wait to see what is asked this week!

Best Questions Win SBI

Last Weeks Winners

We had an amazing response on the last contest post with many great questions, some were simple others were very deep and insightful while my personal favourites add value back to the platform with being answered.

  1. 5 SBD - @Kpreddy Asked “What do you think are the projects on steem blockchain are going out of internet and being part of their lives?”
  2. 3 SBD - @WonderWop Asked “When you accidentally upvote someone and then you un-upvote them, do you get your VP back?”
  3. 2 SBD - @Ketcom Asked “Hi @d00k13, according to biologist man evolved from something that looked like a baboon to what we look like today. My question is this, in say 2 million years from now, are we going to evolve into something else?”

For a complete listing of questions and answers please Check My Previous Post Week #9 Here

Thank You Again Everyone

I am proud to host this contest for everyone to participate in the name of blockchain interaction, without all of you and your questions there would be no reason to do so! For this weeks contest I am trying something new @steembasicincome with SBI shares as prizes, let me know what you think?

Only One Rule!!!

  1. Ask your question using the @Partiko Mobile App all others do not qualify for entry.
  • Upvote & Resteem greatly appreciated for visibility but not mandatory.
  • One question per person, only your first question will be considered.
  • May include finer details for specification of my answer.

The more difficult/insightful/inspirational of a question the better your chances of winning(possibly the longer it will take me to answer also, please be patient) which will be decided 5 days from posting. I will upvote and reply to all qualifying questions as soon as I can and possibly not in order.

Each week I will post a DTube video announcing the winners and answering the top 3 questions with shoutouts for those contestants then restarting the weekly contest with another Partiko post.

Check Out The DTube Video Here

Partiko Mobile App - Simply Beautiful Steem

I love the Partiko Mobile App for two simple reasons, function and appeal. It works as it should with speed and looks great while adding its own level of gamification to interaction through in-app points collection plus redemptions for perks.

This Contest Is Sponsored By Partiko

Thank you for the sponsorship of this contest which gives me the opportunity to promote your wonderful mobile application while simultaneously giving back to the community in the name of blockchain interaction!

non-qualifying question:

  • is there a difference between the difference and the lack of difference?

Hmmm word play.... yes there is a difference.

“difference” is used to describe what is different or changed where “lack of difference” is used to describe what is similar or has not changed yet should be different.

Do you think that slavery has disappeared or has evolved?

Most definitely evolved, I see everyone from the non existent middle class down to be a form of slave relative to the requirement of earning a income to survive.

We in short are all slaves to the financial system in one way or another, self induced slavery you could even say. If you do not wish to play within the realm of the financial construct then you essentially cast yourself out of the realm and all the benefits it may contain.

We are lured in with flashy things and comforts only to make a requirement of further self slavery to remain within those comforts with those flashy things.

Posted using Partiko iOS

I agree.

I'm thinking in ways to be really free. And every idea includes be "confort free"

To be completely free we would have to be willing to revert back to the ways of early settlers, the pioneers.

Possibly searching out previously unsettled lands but with complete freedom there is also price, it would only be completely realized by the first generation born outside society. No ability to draw support from civilization is the biggest one of all, undocumented people’s have the hardest time when say they need to search out medical assistance.

How do they do laundry on the ISS?

They always look so fresh and pressed in their videos, so I would like to know how this is accomplished.

I made my comment without Partiko and I am not trying to suck up for the prize. I got an invite for Partiko on one of my posts last night, and then your post was one of the ones I looked at to decide if I should download it and try. Then I got too excited about this chance to ask my burning question to read far enough to see your ONE RULE, lol.

But I want you to know I did manage to get Partiko on my phone today and did my first post with it. It is ugly and not well formatted, but you cannot improve until you try, so I am proud of myself. I'm not too good on a phone but I will improve with this too.

And for sure I will ask a question next week in the proper way. You have opened the floodgates now, and all of my dumb questions are about to be revealed.

Many thanks for all you do and especially your support of freewite. @mariannewest deserves way more help than she gets around here.

(And now this phone is going off like crazy. It's got to be Partiko and hopefully I will soon figure out how to find out what it's doing.)

No worries my dear, I was going to give it to you anyways 😉 I’m not to strict on rules.

Love the question by the way still trying to get a straight answer for you. Thanks for trying partiko and dropping this comment to prove it I know you will love it too especially exchanging in app points for votes, I find it essential as I’m always on the go I can do multiple things at once.

I agree with you completely @mariannewest does so much with the freewrite community I wish I could do more but with limited time I think the best thing I can do is help support and raise awareness. Going to try once a week to draw some of the Partiko regulars into the #freewrite community and maybe we can sway @Partiko itself to show some support 😉 it may require a little effort but I’m all about blending the lines as communities working together are much better then working separately.

@crypto.talk just dropped his first DTube vlog make sure you check that out show him some love as he hinted at an upcoming update for us vloggers 👍

Posted using Partiko iOS

Thank you so much. This question troubles me!

I am not really ever on my phone or on the go. I do not even have service unless I have wifi somewhere. This will be an effort on my part. But I know I am a freak of nature and this is the future, so I am on it!

I've been spouting off about Marianne as much as I can. No one else I know is so helpful to the very new redfish that struggle to make it here. I'm glad to see your help and maybe we will start a wave of support for her soon.

I went over to the @crypto.talk post. Thanks for the tip. If I ever go to Poland it will not be in November, but more power to those who did :)

Ahh if there is one thing I can do it’s raise a little support and awareness for projects 😉 good that she has you in her corner as it is.

Thanks for stopping in on Sida’s post, really trying to encourage the support for DTube with the Partiko app, just more evidence of how I try get things done 👍

It’s literally impossible to do laundry on the ISS, they must stretch what they have brought with them as long as possible.

After doing a fair amount of google searching I came across a good article on the nasa.gov site.

“In his series of "Space Chronicles," ISS Expedition Six Science Officer Don Pettit wrote that he changes his underwear once every 3 or 4 days.”

Definitely not part of the job they speak much of lmao no glory in that one!

Hello @d00k13!
I would like to know what do you think about @fundition, a decentralized, peer-to-peer, next generation crowdfunding platform.
Thank you!

Posted using Partiko Android

I think it’s a great project, nothing bad to say other then being a little complicated. I have seen many people use it with much success but myself I did not make it past the create a post part, I was thinking of raising funds for #OneLoveDTube tech projects. The only downside I can see is it being used as a way of taking value from the platform for things outside of the blockchain and as we are still very new that could add up very quickly. I understand the necessity of such a project as if it wasn’t for crowd funding we would not have 3D printers but I also have concerns on whether our platform can sustain the level of fundraising to bring a initiative like that to life. If there was a move from paying Steem/SBD to help the fundition of choice to paying fiat I believe it would be capable of competing with other fund raisers but that wouldn’t really help the Steem blockchain unless those funds were to be invested into the platform. No matter what it seems like a good way of attracting outside investors highlighting the projects that are on going.

Thank you man! I appreciate your honesty to talk about it.
Steemit needs to be known also outside of its world and Fundition does it. Rewards here are divided in Steem/SBD used for the support of every project, but there is also SP that usually remains in this platform.
Moreover most project are based on Charity and Education with a good ethic goals.
I would like to know an external opinion and this is important for me and for @fundition team.👍

Posted using Partiko Android

Anytime, one thing I am good for is an honest opinion 😅

I may need to look into trying to write a fundition post for the #OneLoveDTube community once again. We have been able to sustain ourselves but so many of our projects require renting servers and that gets expensive quick. Maybe we will bump into each other as I will most likely need to ask some questions in discord, the project has come a long way since I last looked into it.

Posted using Partiko iOS

I would like to help you in discord.
However probably you should talk with a member of the staff, like @addicttolife.
See you soon!

Posted using Partiko Android

I most definitely will thank you 😊

My question is when you have reach more 100k Steem Power Than what to you do??

Posted using Partiko Android

Take a vacation 😝

Seriously there would be no sudden surprise as I use my power for things as I receive it such as delegation to communities and projects I am apart of. There is no real reason for me to powerdown so at that point I would just keep moving forward with content creation. I would have made 100k liquid so the power would be safe to leave invested assuming I could take that vacation from what I would have liquid.

Honestly by that point I hope to be travel vlogging and using my rewards to live off of and keeping a large proportion of what I have earned invested would be the only way to remain credible to the words I have spoken to get to that point.

Posted using Partiko iOS

great plan buddy..i hope you will be able to reach this place and support communities... Thanks appreciat it

Posted using Partiko Android

Thanks dude, support is what I am all about!

If I get to that point you can count on yourself being dragged up with me 😘

Posted using Partiko iOS

I like this question @ahmanik if I was on my way to 100k SP, which I am, 🤣🤣🤣, I would find some worth while communities to delegate some SP, like the @freewritehouse.

Posted using Partiko Android

Awesome project buddy.hope you do it

Posted using Partiko Android

Yea I’m really stoked I stumbled upon the #freewrite community thanks to @vincy post 🤙 great project and the leader @mariannewest puts a ton of effort into keeping it going daily.

Exactly my thoughts and actions 😉

My question this week is:

I've tried creating a dTube video last year, but they always came out lagging or buffering. What's the best speed to create a video to avoid having those issues?

Posted using Partiko Android

Alright so it’s kind of dependant on your internet connection for the lagging issues if your still experiencing it. DTube has come a long way in hosting the files since a year ago, back then buffering and not playing was a serious concern for everyone so I will explain what works best for me now.

DTube is best done with 720P 30 FPS, many people use Handbrake on PC to compress the video even further without sacrificing the quality too much. I have been told to use the generic 720p on handbrake for best results.

Also if your experiencing buffering still you could try turning down the quality to 480p, when you upload 720p + it automatically creates a 240p & 480p version available from the bottom right corner of playing window. It may just be service provider restrictions as I have heard complaints about AOL restricting the files as they mimic torrents on a bandwidth level.

Posted using Partiko iOS

I'll look into Handbrake, but first I'll try recording at 720p. Thanks @d00k13

In your opinion, What is the best way to earn money on steemit? I mean through self voting or by curating contents? Which one is best?

Posted using Partiko Android

  ·  6 years ago (edited)

Neither the best way is DTube and requires much work but anyone with a cell phone has the potential to earn $5-15 a post with DTube curation.

Now if you have the money to invest self voting is the way to go over curation but your better off to create a sustainable future with networking through curation, I choose to not self vote as a practice since I wish to curate and build my network. Low value accounts are best to try get rewards through insightful comments as the curation rewards for small votes are unlikely and very minimal, yet again this builds your personal network thus drawing people to vote on your posts.

Creation is always first, curation second including comments, self voting last as I do not like the practice but if you must then you must.

Posted using Partiko iOS

If your a plankton, like me, it's not a good idea to self vote, I only have ten 100% upvotes a day and I avoid upvoting my post. It's better to upvote quality content created on Steemit.

Posted using Partiko Android

That’s a very valid point and hopefully the return votes from networking carry more weight.

Posted using Partiko iOS

What do you think about the price of steem? Why it's not jumping?

Well honestly the price of alt coins can only really follow BTC as this is the majority trading pair and the Steem fiat price is relevant to the fiat price of BTC on the selected exchange. Everything is kind of wonky this year with so much movement last year I see a lot less volume in BTC which would imply investors are trying to play smarter this year then last.

I figure the longer Steem goes sideways the better, also the slower it rises the better as a quick movement up is always followed by a quick movement down. I personally look at coin count and not coin value when thinking about rewards and value, the fiat value read out is misleading in my eyes as it fluctuates too drastically but the coin count stays relatively the same other then the SBD proportion.

Basically it’s not jumping because many people are still in salvage investment mode while the rest of us believers are in increase coin count mode, to me this is an opportunity to buy discounted coins from those whom are trying to take profit or simply just hold the price low as long as they. There is a lot that goes into trading including psychology which I am by far no expert in either TA or psychology.

Ok I want to know why can you only upload one picture per post on Partiko and no pictures in a comment.

Posted using Partiko Android

Well that is a question for @partiko & @crypto.talk but I can speculate a little on his behalf or maybe he will chime in.

  • First off the app is still developing and I am pretty certain both of those are on the list for future updates, as of now I think @crypto.talk does all the development himself as a one man army which is pretty impressive.
  • You can add images with markdown or image links and they will display so support for multiple image display is there it’s just the creation side has not been developed as of yet.
  • Partiko is aimed at simplicity and speed so I can imagine that adding multiple images in a post complicates the creating a post screen and a simple layout that still operates quickly is requiring much investment of development time. Furthermore images in comments would be along the same lines with trying to keep the app smooth and constant loading of images in comments slows down that process thus why it shrinks the image currently.

Let’s see if the developer will chime in and correct me😉

Posted using Partiko iOS

Thanks it really is a awesome app. I use it 90% of the time.

Posted using Partiko Android

Same here the other 10% is DTube which soon those videos should play within app thus I won’t need to use browser any longer... that is the update I am really waiting for!

Posted using Partiko iOS

This feature will be available soon! Stay tuned!

Posted using Partiko Android

Right on, I knew it 👍
Thanks for popping in to confirm it.

Posted using Partiko iOS

Awesome 😄it really is a neat app

Posted using Partiko Android

If I do not have a cell phone, can not I participate?

Aha by asking that question you already have 😝

I am not super strict on the one rule, rules are meant to be broken anyways 😉 I will always answer the question though unless it is something amazing your chances of winning are less, this is a Partiko promotion post as well as a contest.

So if you wanted to try you could download bluestacks a pc Android emulator and see if Partiko will run on that from your PC.
