RE: Let's Create a Steem Community Roadmap (Discussion)

[mattclarke]

Thanks for the opportunity, @timcliff :)

• Sweep BTC/LTC paper wallets/private keys to trade for steem via blocktrades page. (public key delivers a quote, broken down by different forks, cash, gold, diamond etc).
  If user likes the total, he enters the private key, and its done.
• Follow who I do.
  Option to follow everyone followed by a specific user.
  (I spent ages building and refining my feed.
  Why can't my mate steal it with one click?)
• Revisit this post/comment in 'n' days.
  Some posts I'd like to set a reminder so I can check in, and post an outcome or a followup question. I believe reddit has a bot which does this.

Thanks :)

For the first item, how is this different than the user just transferring the tokens to BlockTrades?

Two years ago I gave my uncle a paper wallet with .05 btc.
He doesn't have any crypto accounts anywhere and isn't particularly savvy.
If I could suggest he open an account here and just paste that private key straight in on the wallet page, he doesn't need to

• Find and open a trusted wallet with capacity to sweep private keys for bitcoin.
• Find and open a trusted wallet with capacity to sweep private keys for bitcoin cash
• Find and open a trusted wallet with capacity to sweep private keys for bitcoin gold.
• Pay transfer fees on all 3 blockchains.
• Send the balance to blocktrades from each.

It’s an interesting use case, but I don’t know how many Steem users will benefit from it. If you can make the case for the developer effort required to make it happen, it would probably be a good thing to present in a post.

Yes. Its one of those things you need to build first, to see how popular it is.
I can't be the only one who's been giving out paper wallets for secret Santa gifts over the last few years.
Might talk to blocktrades.

I like the follow who I follow option.
