RE: I am hosting a contest. Please participate in it, no matter how large of a user you consider yourself to be.
Hello, I would like to submit the HoboDAO project for this contest.
What Is The HoboDAO?
The HoboDAO is a unique way to create a decentralized curation community on the Steem blockchain. We plan to utilize the capability of Steem accounts to provide multiple access keys to a Steem account (@hobo.media) in order to create a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) on Steem. This allows us to form a decentralized collective that works as a team to select high quality content for curation rewards and other additional benefits.
The HoboDAO's Mission
The empowerment of indie authors is a very good thing that has advanced free speech, expression and information sharing. Steem is another one of these indie publishing tools that assist the movement of free expression.
There is just one drawback with freely available publishing tools, content quantity can drown out the higher quality content. Steem utilizes a content filtering system called Proof of Brain powered by a stake-weighted voting system in order to address this. However, this technique devalues the voices of those that do not have large stake.
The purpose of the HoboDAO is to support quality informative blogging and independent journalism within the Steem blockchain in a fair content evaluating contest system.
