What is 1UP In A Nutshell?
1UP is a new open source community up-voting app where user votes are equal. It up-votes the ten highest ranked posts daily in each community, with a smart curation rewards system. We create the UP token based on Steem's upcoming Smart Media Token (SMT), and distribute it to Steemians and communities via various airdrops. UP holders will support community growth and enjoy higher than average returns through smart curation.
For more information please check out our @Fundition fundraiser below.

How Can 1UP Help you Advance?
@flauwy has been diligently working on developing the 1UP Smart Media Token project, that is going to benefit everyone who becomes involved. There is a vast array of technical details associated with this project that I am only just beginning to understand, so I will not be outlining too many of them. The purpose of this article is to help spread the word about 1UP before its launch, so more Steemians can get their foot in the door early, and achieve greater benefits as a result.
@hempress and I met @flauwy at the #anarchapulco conference last year in Mexico, and when we did, this guy was bursting with positive energy, light, and great ideas he was enthusiastic about. The idea that struck me the most was his plans to create a platform or SMT that supports/connects esoteric medicines, rituals, and practitioners. This would encompass everything from ayahuasca ceremonies, mushrooms, and cannabis, to alchemical experiments and ancient teachings. I absolutely loved this idea, and was ready to jump on board. @flauwy has now absorbed this idea into the 1Up project.

The idea of having a voting system where each person has the same voting weight is brilliant, and extremely fair. But more than that, 1UP also implements a rotating voting "cool-down" system, so more people have a shot at the higher rewards each day, and one person does not continuously stack all of them.

1Up tokens are SMT's that you will be rewarded with along side your normal Steemit rewards. There are a few ways you will be able to participate in this initiative. You can be a part of 1UP by delegating, 1UP-voting, creating 1UP promotional posts, videos, graphics, and via all the special community airdrops. Early delegators also have the potential to become large stake holders within the 1UP system.
Each day there will be ten posts per tag which the community has awarded the most votes, that will receive the higher rewards from 1UP. You can increase your chances each day by adding another qualifying post to the pool, and as stated above, once selected, you will be in cool-down to give others a chance to be selected.

The beta version of 1UP is set to release sometime in October 2018 (next month), which is when everyone will be able to begin using the 1UP voting system, and also when a bunch of airdrops will be delivered to everyone. The beta version will run until the SMTs release with the next hard fork. The amount of airdrops received is determined by your Steemit User Authority Score (UA), which can be found on https://steem-ua.com/. The UA score is the product of a rigorous algorithm tracking following patterns down to a few degrees, plus various other factors, to calculate a complex equation that produces a number for all Steemit accounts. It is based on the Google SEO algorithm.
How 1UP Will Benefit the Blockchain
& Untie the Spirits of the Stars
Conversating with @flauwy about the future of this project led us to discussing how all the conscious communities we are a part of, and have been coalescing, can be supported in only one tag, which would fill the final tag support slot for 1UP. If you have been following my blog or are in one of our tribes (@EarthTribe - @FreedomTribe - @TibeSteemUp) or other affiliated groups (@TeamGood - @EcoTrain - @DynamicSteemians - @NaturalMedicine - @Canna-Curate - @SSG-Community), then you are probably aware of our intentions to unite all of our conscious communities together under one banner.

I recently had an idea to create a master account that would act as energy center for community consciousness integration at the highest level possible. Today this type of account became a necessity, since this type of integration is required for our communities to receive proper and efficient support from the 1UP program. Now that the master account has a vital purpose, we decided that it was time to bring it into this Steemit world officially.
The other nine tags that will be supported by 1UP are:
#steemmonster
#DTube
#DSound
#Utopian
#Fundition
#anarchy
#indymedia
#promo-steem
#esoteric
After several brainstorming sessions with some of my co-workers, @alchemage, and @hempress, we came up with a tag for the tenth and final spot on the 1UP support list, that represents all of our tribes, conscious communities, and all other conscious creators our communities have yet to discover. That tag is:
#tribevibes!!
You do not have to be a member of one of our groups or tribes to use this tag, you just have to create content that aligns with our values. Any and all attempts at spamming/overusing this tag, or using this tag with content that does not align with our values of healing, progressive evolution, and consciousness, will result in a permanent black listing of that account from 1UP support. This will stop people from abusing the #tribevibes tag, and taking value away from deserving posts. Do not let this discourage those of you that are creating great content that is helping humanity and the environment however, this is here to protect you, not hurt you.
In order for this tag to be truly effective in the long run, a master account was also created for this part of the 1UP project, that is also known as @TribeVibes (will be active in a few days since AnonSteem is currently down). When the hive-mind protocol releases with hardfork 21, we will transform that account into a proper community account where we will then consider community control vs individual control. Now all of our conscious communities/creators will have a chance to be unified under one master account, and one tag. Beauty in the making...

1UP is also not exclusive to the tribes/groups I have highlighted here. The 1UP project is open to ALL Steemit communities, which is a great way to help advance the entire Steemit blockchain as a whole. Limiting this particular initiative to ONLY conscious communities would have been inefficient for platform advancement, but offering a more inclusive position to our conscious communities will inspire those outside of them to begin participating in efforts that will not only advance this platform, but also manifest a better world in general. Super synergism at its best right here folks.
It is my hope that each and every one of you reading this post decides to be a part of the 1UP project. You and everyone else on Steemit, has nothing but good wisdom to acquire, and higher rewards to receive through this initiative. If you have any further questions about the 1UP project, please comment below, and @flauwy and I will do our best to address any concerns. Do not forget to start using the #tribevibes tag in all your comprehensive conscious articles

This is a good promotional post for 1UP, a project we're quite fond of in Utopian. With #tribevibes, you have your own relevant story to tell about the project, this giving it the requisite editorial content. It is also great to see 1UP put a new community in place of the departing dlive so quickly. Congrats to all parties involved.
The post had some minor issues of style and grammar. Going forward, I would suggest using a service such as Hemingway or Grammarly to try and find those and weed them out before posting. I'm happy to provide examples in a follow-up comment if you're interested.

Thank you for your time, Didic. I checked your review and saw that you marked this post as not being part of a series. However, as you see with the series backlinks and the standardized blog style for our 1UP posts, this is afterall part of growing decentralization. I can't handle all the ten starting communities alone. So we will have community moderators who work with me on the specific updates. This will not effect our total amount of contributions but helps to share the work. We arrange for beneficiary rewards for the Fundition campaign as well as for @utopian.pay (starting with this post).
We are also reaching more people that way through the followers of the co-authors.
With the exception of #iamutopian posts (where the questionnaire scores doesn't matter, as Utopian management does the official scoring), we don't tend to treat posts by different accounts as parts of the same series. Anyone could add backlinks to another author's series on the same subject, after all. And this is clearly not an official 1UP post (or it would be posted to the official Steem account). This post has a different point of view: That of someone from one of 1UP's communities.
We don't usually discuss scores in comments, but it may put you at ease to know this post was scored quite well by the questionnaire, regardless of the series issue.
Ok, I understand that. Thank you for your feedback.
Can you please point out the specific styling and grammatical errors your are referencing? The Hemingway site you offered is suggesting that about 95% of my post is an error, which tells me that the site is not functioning as intended.
When Hemingway marks a sentence, that doesn't mean it thinks it's an error. It does have false positives, though. It's certainly an imperfect tool, but is useful in pointing to potentially problematic areas.
Now, on to the examples. As I said, these are minor issues.
"Along side" is a single word. "Alongside."
"Each day there will be ten posts per tag which the community has awarded the most votes" is clunky, and the mixed tenses are confusing.
"You can increase your chances each day by adding another qualifying post to the pool, and as stated above, once selected, you will be in cool-down to give others a chance to be selected." This one is too long, and should be at least two sentences.
"The UA score is the product of a rigorous algorithm tracking following patterns down to a few degrees, plus various other factors, to calculate a complex equation that produces a number for all Steemit accounts." Again, this sentence is very long.
"Conversating with @flauwy about the future of this project led us to discussing" Setting aside my dislike of "conversating" - which is not quite a real word, and would be best replaced with the simpler "talking" or "conversing" - the real grammar issue here is that it should be "led us to discuss."
"After several brainstorming sessions with some of my co-workers, @alchemage, and @hempress, we came up with a tag for the tenth and final spot on the 1UP support list, that represents all of our tribes, conscious communities, and all other conscious creators our communities have yet to discover." This one has multiple issues. Starting with my usual "too long" complaint. "Some" is both the wrong word and redundant if you're going to then name two specific people.
Brilliant. Your work here is blowing me away. Love the #tribevibes unity love... we are all truly hive minding a plan for a better world. Big, big love.
Thank you @riverflows, @hempress came up with "Tribe Vibe" and I added the "S", but really this whole idea was spawned by @flauwy, @hempress, and I.
Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold

STOPSo good that we are doing this! I feel empowered but this opportunity and am glad that DLive left and opened its spot for a much more important community. Let us make #tribevibes a source of support to heal the world.
Absolutely, I am honored to be a part of this initiative as well. Great work @flauwy, looking forward to next month's release.
Fantastic idea! I love this new tag. That’s likely the one I’ll wind up using the most. Great advancements.

Ditto, this post is the first time ever the #tribevibes tag had been used. I am sure this will be a big attraction in no time.
this is so great, really positive way to promote and support all the amazing work that this communities are doing. This is what community/Tribe work is all about, thank you @elamental, @hempress and @flauwy for this wonderful creation and one I will definitely be using xxx
We are very excited to see this through, I cannot wait to see this in action on the 1UP system next month.
Love that you are bringing us together for a higher purpose and will definitely be using #tribevibes! I'm involved in a number of your communities and it is blowing me away what wonderful communities they are and now we will be uniting with more wonderful communities! Thanks so much for putting this together!
I just saw the dots in front of me and realized it is my destiny to connect them. I am just happy to be making a real difference, thank you for your support @porters.
Yes it is a wonderful thing and it should be interesting to see how it all plays out! #tribevibes!
Indeed it should. I am excited for the future.
This all just keeps getting better and better!

I like the idea of uniting all the esoteric groups. And I stil don't understand how Airdrops work... can anyone explain briefly please.
Thanks for all your work! #tribevibes
