I hope your read at least. It covers a lot of history and at the bottom part of the post is the ideas to grow communities collectively. It will cost almost zero resources and no additional code and the buzz will be great cos of the inclusion and long term inside out community growth.

Over the past years I've heard the keyword "mainstream adoption" a lot, but a key requirement for that has always been missing from Steem: What Steem needs desperately is a solution for easy sign up and login like conventional social media offer. Private keys are great for crypto-enthusiasts, but not for the daily use by average users, especially not for those who don't use a password manager.

The solution I propose is a much more advanced version of Steemconnect, similar to what I developed for @travelfeed, but a bit more advanced and with a public API:

A centralised service operated by a trustworthy party such as Steemit Inc. would provide an oauth API for dApps like steemit.com to implement.
Users could register/login to this service with email+password (and optional 2fa) or social logins (Google/Facebook/..).
Users would be required to link their Steem account by giving posting authority to this service once (automatically for newly created accounts, one-time transaction requiring the active key for existing accounts).
Similar to how Steemconnect operates, after a user logs in, a token is passed to the dApp that can be used by the app to broadcast transactions to the service on behalf of the user. The service broadcasts them to the blockchain using the posting authority.
Now users could login to any Steem dApp supporting this login option with the login method they previously set up (email+password or social logins). No private posting key needed!
Private keys would only be required for transaction requiring non-posting permissions, such as transfers or witness voting.
In case the service was compromised, funds would be safu since the posting authority can only sign a limited number of transaction types such as posts/comments, votes and custom_json's.
For new users, this service would also offer sign-ups. By requiring additional profile information from social logins, verification would be done instantly for trustworthy users and they would instantly receive a free Steem account linked to their social login(s). They would still be required to store their keys securely, but they would not need the posting key when logging in to apps through this service. If the trustworthiness of a user cannot be verified automatically or the user chooses to not provide additional profile information, there would be a wait time as it is currently.

The option to use private keys without granting posting-authority for full control should still remain for crypto enthusiasts.

Unfreezing the accounts of community witnesses would be a great initiative. Not censoring people would also be good. Meanwhile certain accounts are spamming with huge self votes and nobody cares.

I've got a few...

Ditch the censorship lists (one of Steem's main selling points was being censorship-free)
Release control of the witnesses (this is now a centralized database, not a blockchain)
Stop freezing people's funds
Stop wasting your time with BS posts like this, and focus on running a node that works, so people can actually transact

Those seem like a good starting point.

Hey Kenny! I still have lot’s of hope for the future of Steem. Which is why I agree with you that 22.888 needs reversed ASAP and censorship is not good for anybody, more so for a Steem since it drives people away. We have our work cut out for us. But we plan to do what it takes. Also please take note, everyone is welcome to attend The New Steem witness forum and state their concerns and ideas on how to move forward. I hope to see you there, I value your input and wisdom that you bring to block chain.

Dear @pfunk

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not. I assume that you're experienced enough with building brand/presence on social media, that building communication channels with community is very important. And allowing communities to share their ideas (plus picking on some of them) is WHAT WE NEED.

Unfortunatelly people behind HIVE (as much as I respect many of them), old witnesses and most so called "whales" never seem to care about ideas of us - small users. It's nice to see a difference.

lapingvino (6) · 5 years ago

Hello Piotr,

I am really glad you did your poll, and I understand what you are looking for. I hope you will manage to see too what Justin Sun is hiding; the kind of things they do now are easier to do because it's one person in charge, and they did that by abuse of the system. The whole idea of DPoS is have no one in charge of everything.

I think short term you might enjoy what is happening now, maybe even forever. But for true further development, the current direction of Steemit is basically as valuable as TRON: it gives you the idea of decentralization, but you don't get the real deal. Most importantly, step out of line and you are toast.

You have to understand that neither whales nor witnesses are leaders in any traditional sense. Whales are people with a lot of stakes in the platform, trying to bring it forward, and witnesses are the people who make the technology run. What you do on top of the platform is really anyone's game, and anyone is fully free to work on that.

If the nodes don't work consistently then nothing else really matters. Transactions are failing frequently and projects are feeling forced to leave because of that. You need to make the blockchain itself work before you start worrying about adding things.

I would like to see a reorganisation of the "communities" according to content criteria.
For example the most popular communities are #GEMS, #OCD, #CN... But what do they tell me? They tell me that more or less "big" curators look around and vote. Nothing more, all contents are mixed up in an unsorted way, many languages are next to each other (Does someone translate the contents before voting?). To someone who doesn't know Steemit, these communities don't say anything, he won't find what he is looking for, what he is interested in.
We have specified hashtags like #music, #sports, #developing, #games, #travel... but it's not easy to find them since the front page shows the most popular "communities", no themes.

I believe that the true path is the empowerment of the communities, that the effective communities are supported with delegations for real life projects. Development, social marketing, educational models, community projects, all the efforts made will be in vain if it continues to be given Back in a bubble of few people, the success of a platform is made by people, usability, loyalty and teamwork. The challenges are not bad, but it is not the root of the problem, if we want to be successful, let us stop placing hot water cloths as continuous improvement when what is needed is a re-engineering in use, and better use of resources.

I would like the witnesses to have the opportunity to introduce themselves. Sure they can do that as well, but if you do it with content and the attention it gets, it will bring a lot of benefits. The witnesses are so important and if you ask around in the community there is a lot to catch up on. Through this content the barriers could also become smaller and the witnesses could move closer to the community.

Promoting cohesion within the community
Smaller virtual meeting places should be created and held regularly. No matter if it is a meeting of artists or a meeting for the exchange of vegan recipes.

We now run the "Wirtshaus" every Sunday where people talk about everything, listen to music (YT videos) and have a lot of fun together.

For such events, it would be nice if Steemit inc. would provide the operators with an account that would allow the guests to vote. Be it for a contribution or a comment or just for participating. We are talking about a few cent votes. But this way a lot of people participate and are active. It is enough if the account is made available for 8 hours.

We would be happy if we would be available every Sunday for the German speaking community.

Hello @steemcurator01

I'm glad you like the idea. The use of a Steemit account requires trust. For example, I would have to be allowed to use the Postinkey for 8 hours to cast a vote. You can make out in advance that we will not lower VP from the account by more than 20-30%.

Our programmer @platuro who has programmed many small dapps for Steem, and is currently working on the dPublisher extended update can certainly program something suitable.
An app where you can enter that a Steemit inc. account follows another account and the same votet. Also comments what would be important here. Similar to the App SteamAuto but unfortunately no comments vote.

If you are interested, such an app can be programmed especially for Steemit inc. But that would take some time.

Maybe one day there will be the possibility that we get a larger amount of money delegated. It would then not only be used for curation but also for such purposes. We would also waive the curation fee of 50% and automatically transfer it back to the Steemit inc. account. So Steemit inc. would not even have expenses. As payment for our work we would give a 100% vote to our curators account every day and Steemit inc. would receive the 50% curation. So I think I would all be satisfied :)

Continue to ask for feedback (both good and bad). Learn from the constructive answers and improve the user experience. Fix the voting system that requires more than 1000 SP to even register a vote. Lower the cooldown time frame so people are free to come and go. Continue to punish abusers of the system, that's the biggest thing the old management failed to do and it cost them with new users dearly.

I personally would love to see Steem take off and become what it could be. I saw many great people that came through the system that got disenfranchised by the way they were treated by the power at the top. I'm giving you guys a chance and hopefully you figure it out!!! :)

More than rewards, quality creators need audiences.

To support that need, pick a category to monitor on Twitter (maybe Twitter/#steemexclusive?). Announce that you'll be monitoring it. Then use the steemit (105k followers) and/or steemnetwork (10k followers) Twitter accounts to retweet and provide off-chain visibility to a few quality posts each day and also to drive eyeballs onto the Steem blockchain.

Those follower counts are good assets, and it's a shame to leave them idle.

Maybe also curate those posts, but that may be secondary.

I would make sure the abuser cannot post anymore or upvote with the account after an official warning.

Any behavior that is obvious of someone milking the reward pool like this as an example.

Post 10 times a day.
Self upvote and do circle jerking with the same accounts or big accounts.
Not engage and does not respond.

I think STINC should build some tools, which would allow to report repetitive abusers. And those accounts should be banned from delegating their SP and upvoting.

$0.00

vagabondspirit (52) · 5 years ago

Tapering the delegation for new users might help with user retention.
Last I looked, a new user received a 15 SP delegation. This delegation decreases as they gain SP. If a user has 6 SP, the delegation drops to 9 SP.

The result of this is that new users do not start seeing the benefits of new SP until after they earned 15 SP.

A tapered delegation reduces the delegation by a fraction of the STEEM POWER earned. If the taper was 1/2 the system would reduce the delegation of an account with 6 SP by 3. So the account would have 6 + 12 delegation which equals 18.

Using a tapered delegation would help help new users understand how the power of their account is determined by the SP in their account. It might increase user retention and might spur new users to buy STEEM.

Steem needs a way to find all rewards received throughout the tax year for reporting taxes. Now that Steemdb is gone where does one find this information? Having a way to get this information easier than steemdb would be great. Example If I could get all my reward information from January 1,2020 to January 1,2021 . Kind of like a 1099 this kind of tool would really help people to do more on the platform because keeping track of the income would no longer be a hassle. I personally know several people who have stopped using Steem because finding the information to prepare their taxes is no easy task .

It seems like the tool would need to scan the block database for a user's "claim rewards" transactions in a given time period, and then spit that information out in a convenient human-readable format. Would that be sufficient? I'm currently in the process of learning how to use the steem APIs by working on a project that scans the block database for certain transactions, so if I can get it working properly I might be able to adapt it to this (no promises, though, it's still a work in progress).

Hello @danmaruschak If you could make it like the steemdb was would be helpful here is a link to the Hive -db
https://hive-db.com/@danmaruschak/curation
I do not know who made these but the steemdb no longer keeps track of the steem rewards . It would be nice if the steemdb still worked
And thank you for realizing how important this information is to the growth of the steem blockchain .

Hi @razorwave8

Don't you pay taxes the moment you trade your crypto into FIAT? You mind sharing with me which country are you from? Based on my knowledge, majority countries require paying taxes the moment one is trading it to FIAT currency.

@crypto.piotr I live in the USA and here in the USA the bloging rewards are considered income regardless of weather or not the rewards have been traded to FIAT . Here is an example if I receive 100 steem power for curating today and the steem price today is 0.15 cents then I would have to report $15.00 for today's income and I file my taxes one time a year and make quartly payments to the IRS and State . Therefor I must create a balance sheet to post my rewards and price of steem everyday in order to keep track of the rewards so I can report my earnings as income.
With steemdb I was able to collect the rewards information fairly easily and collect all my reward information one time a year .
Also If you hold on to the steem then you must show the amount and price so you can show what the steem cost you to use against the price and amount when you sell it to FIAT.
Here is an example of holding and not selling the day you receive the rewards

Receive rewards 100 steem @ $0.15 = $15 This is considered income sold or held for later sell
If held for later sell my cost for the 100 steem is $15.00 and I now own 100 steem
I then decide to sell the 100 Steem into FIAT 3 months later @ $0.41 for $41.00
Steem Sell = $41.00 Steem cost = $15.00 for a trading profit of $26.00
$15 income is subject to social security tax because it is taxed as income and the $26.00 trading is taxed as investment income

@steemitblog another good idea is to send weekly newsletters to the emails of our users. I dont know if you already do it but the last time Steemit send a newsletter some of the older members came back and start posting again.

Its very important now that everyone is inside to be reminded that Steem still exists and is a good way to earn a bit by posting at our platform:)

I was thinking why don't we tighten up the rules on the Steemit platform to reduce the number of fake accounts. So far, those new users are no longer visible in the introductory tag like we were here earlier. I think this is very helpful in reducing the use of fake accounts on the platform, and that is one of the reasons they will feel at home here. Fake accounts are very annoying, and this requires cooperation to minimize their presence on the smallest possible platform. Of course this will give a positive point to steemit, new users are certainly very helpful, especially in each posting my self-introduction gets curated and of course becomes a motivation for those who are trying to join this platform.

This is a post that I have translated in Indonesian, hopefully it can help the steem team to continue working at its maximum in 100 days of this steem

Previously, I gave full appreciation to the entire Steemit and @steemitblog team.
This is an extraordinary program, I also want to give an idea at a critical time.
yes, at this time the dark for millions of people in the world to remember the corona virus continues to spread and cause many deaths. As a result, a number of cities and even countries blockaded their territories and so many people were forced to isolate themselves at home.

Independent isolation by staying indoors will prevent the spread of new corona virus outbreaks. However, what if you are healthy and feel bored if you continue to practice social distancing?

I think it is worth entering into the STEEM 100-day agenda to hear their opinions about: "Stay at home".
From here I am sure many of them will come up with extraordinary ideas

You need to delegate chunks of SP to community leaders and have them use that to grow their communities, though there does need to be a check on it to make sure they are not abusing their SP. But, if you had 10 or more communities set up with these tools, it would certainly help. Plus you need to get rid of free downvotes, downvotes are fine, but they should cost something.

Once you have communities set up with community leaders and chunks of SP, you need to do some form of marketing to bring in outside users. Reaching out to influencers on other platforms would be a good way to bring their users over here, but you will have to pay them, probably in more than just upvotes.

And you need to bring back advertising and use that money to buy up steem on the open market. It sounds like a waste but doing things like that that will go a long ways in making steem more sustainable which will in turn help keep people here and encourage them to hold on to their steem. If everyone thinks it is dying or won't last, they are sellers of everything they earn on here, and like it or not the currency is the life blood of the this entire ecosystem.

On that note, you need to take steps to get the price going up. Get steem on more exchanges. A higher steem price makes everything easier. One of the easiest ways to get a higher steem price is first get a higher SBD price. Start running up the SBD price and the price of steem will follow suit and the numbers of users on steem/steemit will skyrocket again. That is when the ad revenue starts going up and can be used to support/buy steem or SBD off the open markets and burn it, which will further which will further supportgher prices and make this whole thing more sustainable.

If you are against using ad revenue to buy back steem/sbd, you could also distribute it out to blog owners. That would be a great way to help encourage people to come here. They can earn based on how how many views their content gets and not just by upvotes like it is now. That would do wonders in terms of attracting quality content producers.

There are ways to make this work, but it needs some pretty heavy actions to be implemented and soon.

TLDR

Delegate SP to communities
Pay influencers to bring their followings to steem
Use advertising money to buy steem and sbd making things more sustainable
A higher SBD price pulls up steem prices hint hint hint
If against using ad revenue to buy sbd/steem pay it out to bloggers
Get steem listed on more exchanges

Hello @steemitblog @steemcurator01 team, I have a suggestion, I use dlease.io service to rent SP from other users so my upvote value is better and I can speed up my own steem power too. I suggest Steemit Inc rent out the unused SP to steem users like me at 3-5% APR or any range that you deem reasonable to help us with our upvote value and speed up our own steem power. Also with a condtion that SP only use for upvote, not downvote. Thank you in advance for your attention and consideration.

Dreaming is free.
I wish a Steemit world where a bridge would be built for all who start. A team dedicated to giving them mentoring comments, encouraging votes, pleasant conversations, and emotional first aid so needed right now by humanity.
Go to the new steemian, look for him and give him guidance, a ground to step on, help him.
Every new steemians we help grow will be the steemians that will grow and strengthen the steem blockchain. Some geniuses of the present were little babies who did not even understand how to publish a photograph.

Alongside, I would like to suggest that we need to bring down the steep learning curve and barrier to entry, which right now the new comers are facing a bit of difficulty.

The real problem is they are not sure that they will be curated or not like others. Somehow most of the people joining believe that it takes a lot of time to start getting upvotes from the whales.

Steemit Inc can take this initiative with the available resources and can assure that, if you are good content creator or somehow bring value and engagement to Steem, we are there to curate you.

If some of the highly subscribed, big communities have migrated to other place and have no serious intention to remain here, let's re-organize and re-engineer the communities.
