RE: Would You Like To Make "@classifieds" Happen on Steem? WELL IF YOU DO, THEN READ THIS.
Interesting idea. One issue with any/all of these initiatives that nobody seems to have offered a good solution for is this:
- If it's built on Steem, then users need a Steemit account
- Steemit accounts cost "money"
- Users need to understand somewhat about crypto in order for that to happen
If we're talking "mass adoption" which I think you're implying from the tone of your post, then these ideally need to be solved.
IMO, anything that's built on the Steem blockchain should have as little to openly do with tokens, crypto, complicated accounts, upvotes or any of the other complicated nonsense that acts as a barrier to entry for people who have better things to do with their time.
Great idea though. Hopefully someone will take you up on your offer.
No free lunch out there!
For that "free" lunch, some farmer has sweated his day away, invested who knows how much into the making of it happen, someone has paid to get it delivered, someones has paid to get it on the table and someone will pay to have the dishes washed after it!
Same goes with all business initiatives.
Our biggest advantage over ALL the other so called "wonderful blockchains" out there is that we don't need a tonne of "gas" or "ram" or what not to complete transactions.
We have already proven that even with the "free" transactions on our blockchain we can handle over 10K transactions per second!
VISA eat your heart out and move over, STEEM is here and it is kicking rear ends!
Likewise, when we take all that into account, the savings that are here in "transaction fees" or dare I say the lack of them, will add up to multi BILLIONS in savings for PEOPLE.
Which is a lot more than what ANY of the others out there have to offer!
Seriously, I don't see an issue with paying for something that shall give me more than what any competitor had to offer and most importantly I don't fall for the "used car salesman pitches" the others throw out there.
It is all on the blockchain, visible and crystal clear for anyone who wants to see it.
Although your points are definitely something that needs to be looked at, as in the past many have "marketed" things in ways to mislead people and this needs to be ratified. There really isn't much more that should worry anyone. Business as usual!
Steem on my fellow Steemian!
and wish you all the best during this season of happiness and warmheartedness!
We may not need gas or ram, but technically Steemit works the same. You need Steem Power/resource credits to do things around the platform. We are very similar to EOS in that respect.
I would say that EOS is similar to Steem in many ways, after all that ICO driven and financed blockchain did copy a heck of a lot from Steem as far as concepts go.
But, unlike Steem their "RAM" issues are in fact "issues" while on Steem there is no issue ;)
Steem has passed the tests and has over 2 years of building itself up from scratch without all the ICO investments = without OPM = OTHER PEOPLES MONEY!
