VAAS on display with animalCards [burnsteem100]
I've written about it before, but a picture is worth a thousand words. Visibility as a Service (VAAS) is a simple STEEM sink that anyone can build into their Steem application.
For example, I send a transfer of STEEM or SBD to @null, and the memo field becomes a broadcast message to active players of the animalCards game.
In this particular implementation, messages and posts are cycled in and out of the VAAS section randomly for up to a day, with selection odds that are based on their transfer size or beneficiary percentage and the amount of time that passed since the transaction. This includes:
- Posts with @
nullbeneficiaries - Promoted posts (can include STEEM or SBD promotions and posts before and after payout)
- Memo fields from transfers of STEEM or SBD to
null
But other developers could establish their own rules.
Also, if a transfer of STEEM or SBD happens to be the largest one in that particular block, I also get a wildlife card from the animalCards game. But, that's a topic for a different day.
FTR, animalCards does not (yet?) issue cards for posts with @null beneficiaries. My VAAS implementation recognizes all three, but animalCards only recognizes the largest transfers per block.

mirá, la forma en que el memo al @null se transforma en mensaje broadcast y, además, el mayor envío del bloque te regala una wildlife card me parece una jugada curiosa 🦁. pensá en cuántas veces esa mecánica podría cambiar la dinámica de los posts, es así nomás, la vida misma.
