Yeah I see your point.
On the marketing, what happened to Andarchy? He was seen as the face of steemit and was committed once upon a time. Also there was that girl that put a proposal for that role but she disappeared. Jenny I think was her name. 2020 isn't a good year though so the future might be brighter for all. I'm confident in Hive existing for a while and hopeful for SMTs. Maybe then the community will take the lead and this could be marketed broadly!
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Andarchy left with the ones who left steemit at the same time to build a new project. haven't heard much since. "that girl" is @justineh .
I get why you'r grim to to be fair we haven't really started working on new features, there was a ton of work that we had to do in order to stabilize/optimize the blockchain to make it go from steem to hive, make it our own. Now that this is behind us, we will focus on new features and lots of exciting things are coming :)
Yeah sorry I didn't address her accordingly. I have admiration for @justineh she put much effort into the transition process when everything was snowballing.
I also understand that the backbone development was a necessity and priority after the detachment so I'm not critiquing that.
The SMTs nonexistence some 3 years after announcement is my main gripe. The other is that to entice the mainstream user, a platform needs to provide the same or better system. So the lack of embedded CHAT and mobile app is the other fundamentals I believe are needed. I'm patient and optimistic about Hive though, because really all of blackchain is on a slow progress path. Thanks for the information and also I know that your work and expertise here is crucial so much respect for remaining committed.
Hey there. Still around in background when help is needed, but not super active :)
My proposal wasn’t for marketing though, it was for exchange liaison work as well as the initial PR work I contributed. The work was from February until June (per the proposal).
Marketing for a decentralized project is a bit tricky, I had given my takes on it but ultimately it’s up to the community. There are some marketing firms that showed interest in taking it on, but I think the hardfork was the main focus.
Essentially, as with most things here, someone has to just step up and do it.. as there is no centralized entity. Core devs are doing so, but yes there are other aspects that could probably use some focus. As the community grows perhaps someone will take it on.
Cheers!
Hey! Thanks for your input. I misinterpreted then, I thought you had put yourself forward as part of the replacement for the new Hive team that would push the mission on after others left.
I agree that decentralised makes it not so straight forward and that it's really anyone's prerogative which is good.. and bad since without some type of 'central hub' whatever gets published by enthusiasts becomes lost throughout the internet. Thus to an outsider, finding that becomes difficult and potentially works against the mission to attract investors.
The core development is definitely a positive here so it's a long road for blockchain and early days still. I'm sure in the future some will step forward. Good that you're still around.
