I have been on Hive for two months now, and based on little information I got from reading some blogs, Hive is barely 3-4 months old. It's amazing how well it has faired considering how "young" the project is.
So far, there are few DApps running on the blockchain, with the commonest or the pioneer being "Hive blog". I expect more DApps to emerge in the future, and it's a good thing. The diversification it'll bring would ensure that everyone has something to offer on Hive, especially in their specific niché.
Few days ago, I stumbled on a post about a new DApp sampling Fiverr's model. I was excited about the news as I feel it'll create an avenue for a lost of interesting things. There was a similar model on Steem called Steemgigs by @surpassinggoogle, however, it didn't live up to its billing. I hope this one on Hive does.
Speaking about DApps, I was thinking it'll be great if we get a similar model to that of Utopian then on Steem. If you joined Steemit early enough, you definitely should have come across the project, or even used it.
Utopian was an amazing project, and the model was great. It faced a lot of abuse though, however, it was a project worthy of accolades until it was sold.
It'll be great to see such project again on Hive. And I think it'll be such a huge boost to the blockchain. I'm certain a lot of oldies on Hive[especially the core founders] know about Utopian, so explaining the model isn't needed.
Utopian helped to onboard valuable individuals on Steem. Most of which are now on Hive. Especially the moderators. I've seen @codingdefined, @syedumair, @tykee @ckole etc. Aside the moderators, Utopian was able to onboard some open-source software project owners who were able to finance their projects with Utopian incentives. Some even went on to become Steem devs.
Aside from project owners joining steem, there were several contributors making valuable contributions to open source software. And isn't original effort something of value on Hive? I guess yes.
I'm happy for where Hive blockchain resides at the moment.However, it'll be great to start seeing some diversity in the blockchain which can be brought about by several DApps. And I hope a project sampling Utopian's model is developed.
Utopian was indeed a great project, but I don't think it was sold. The founder claimed he will be back on the blockchain. However, it been several months. It would be really great to see a concept like Utopian on Hive. I have been working on a quite similar concept, but you know how it works without huge power to reward the people. I have a community here on Hive- https://hive.blog/trending/hive-103590 and I built this simple UI to show what we do, https://gitplait.tech/ it seems pretty static, but I plan to build it to a well functioning system when the community is pretty active on Hive. Personally, I don't want to run cost on a system that won't fund itself.
Maybe if we had more people talking about it, the guys at the top will start taking interest.
Yea, you right. We can join force and make it success.
I'm opening to offering any assistance.
@tykee really good stuff you got going. Like you said, it all boils down to support via delegation.
Figure some top HP holders could help out.
People like @theycallmedan.
If you could do something like a fundraiser or awareness post. This could work. Should work
Thank you. I am already trying to spread the name through the chain, and I want to get the community more active. Then I will take the next turn.
Sounds great. Anywhere to start from?
Like the modus operandi of the community
As I wrote, we are currently reaching out to people that are publishing the kind of publications that fit in our aims. We wants to ensure we grow the community a bit, then we will continue the development of gitplait.tech to a well functioning system. You could join me and the rest of the guys if you wish to journey with us.
That'd be awesome tho
Gladly
Utopian was a great project. I just don't understand why Diego removed the shock. That's bygone anyway. Having a project like that on hive will be awesome, but one limitation I've seen on hive is that no one has the power to give huge delegation like Ned did through Mr Delegation account. Getting a project like utopian isn't the problem, but getting support is the issue. As @tykee mentioned, he has a project he has been working on with the mindset of using the utopian concept, but there has been no support. The main deal is having the power to reward people with valuable contents. No one will crack his brain and post on a platform all to receive a thank you comment.
It's been a while man. Where you chuk head since?
Gbam!! The hive power shii go be problem. Make we dey look sha.
Omo as Steemit cast, I just jejely put head for my photography brand ooooo..
Jeez.. The twist. My mind no even go say you be Naija guy
As @tykee mentioned it's all about the Hive Power delegation, though if people are ready to give delegation and they will get 80% curation in return that will be enough I guess to start with. But for that something has to be started.
Exactly! Something has to be started. But who'll? I have zero code knowledge.
I think people[prospective delegators] will take interest when the model is live.
@tykee has started and let's wait for hom to come up with the initial design. I am ready to start something along with him. We also have previous moderators in the links of @abh12345 and @emrebeyler and thus we can get started as a community.
That'll be nice.
