100 DAYS OF STEEM : Day 12 - Have You Got Ideas That Will Fly?steemCreated with Sketch.

in #steemit5 years ago

We’ve just been catching up with all the comments on the last three posts and have been amazed at all the great ideas and feedback people are giving.

We’ll be responding to all of those shortly but in the meantime we want to pick up on one excellent suggestion from @kiwiscanfly from New Zealand.

In a comment on yesterday’s post @kiwiscanfly said “You should do a post asking the community for ideas on this 100 days of steem, there are surely some good ideas out there :)”

That is an excellent idea!


Tell Us Your Ideas for the 100 Days of Steem Project

We are very keen to work with all of you in the community, so we would love to hear your ideas for the 100 Days of Steem project.

There are still 88 days to go, and although we’ve already got a good list lined up there is still room for more.

So tell us what you would like to see included in the 100 Days project.

We can’t promise we will be able to action all the ideas, but we will do our best.

The more achievable your suggestions, the more likely we will be able to implement them.

But remember big changes need big planning and have long lead times.

For the 100 Days project we are looking more for quick fixes and clever ideas that won’t need too much resourcing.

You can give your ideas in the comments below, or if you want to give more details make a post and put the link in the comments.

To spice it up a bit, we’ll be giving out upvotes for the best ideas and suggestions.

We look forward to hearing from you.



The Trending Page

Sorry for the delay in getting this sorted, but we’ve now got the trending page fixed.

Thank you to @whatsup for the post about this…



Steem Witness Forum

Thank you to @greenhouseradio for hosting the first of a new series of Steem Witness Forums yesterday.

They have now posted the recording in case you missed it...

It will be great if more witnesses can attend the next one.


Thank you,

I have my idea here and mentioned you (#the100daysofsteem) in the post: https://steemit.com/hive-185836/@surpassinggoogle/where-do-we-take-steem-from-here-this-publication-was-written-by-a-legitimate-illiterate-and-applies-to-all-blockchains

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.

Interesting read.

Thank you for this very valuable contribution.

The Steemit Team

Thank you a lot for responding. I did a follow-up to that article based on a frequent question that was asked during a livestream that I did discussing Steem. Kindly read it too!

Thank you - will take a look.

Thank you. The article isn’t showing up on steem anymore though. I had written the article as a resource for the internet. Perhaps it is an Rpc issue and will show up later

Maybe stop using @steemit's stake to vote for witnesses? Or removing 22.8888?

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.

Thank you for this detailed and very helpful suggestion.

This is an area we are currently working on so we will pass this on to the development team.

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'm sad to see Steem go this way.

I agree with @steevc on this. It was both actions which led to me powering down when I wanted to support both chains. I'm not alone doing so.

I had 3 of my posts censored and it wasn't "to protect steemians from FUD and SPAM". I am the leader of @informationwar which is a project that has been on Steem for a really long time. A project that is AGAINST censorship.

By censoring me and my fellow Information Warriors you are censoring the truth. You have no idea what you are talking about shill.

Most of the current witnesses rely on the blessing of Justin to stay in the top 20. Having principles is not tolerated. Free speech is not tolerated either. Doesn't that make you sad?

Whatever. Just mute me and your life will be better.

Well I would not even think to look for that. Shows how your mind works :)

Love and peace

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.

You couldn't make it two weeks without running out of ideas?

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.

Yours, Piotr

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.

What's the point of making a blockchain work when it's been rendered pointless as a blockchain?

Day 13 of the 100 days of Steem's funeral should be a contest to name Steem's new consensus model.

I've come up with two already:

Proof of Hypocrisy
Proof of Manchild

100% upvotes for good consensus model replies to this comment
