We are in the final stages of releasing a new product and need some testers.
Here is what you can do, if you want to help:
Read the landing page
Think about if it makes sense and note down what is good or needs to be improved
Test the service
Write your analysis in a comment to this thread. We would love to know what is good and bad and of course if you find any bugs let us know as well. Could you do it? Was it easy enough?
Wow . . . you guys at @steem-bounty are just full of great Ideas.
Instructions are easy to follow and everything is straight forward imo. I do think the landing page itself could be more visually sound. My suggestions on the landing page :
don't listen to them...scammer stealing 35% from authors, false advertising, and disrespecting the rarest/lacking and most important ingredient that we need to badly grow in this community - sincere appreciate content consumers, letting them do this will punish good behavior in our Steem ecosystem
Here are few bugs I found:
(1)
Actual Behavior:
On the landing page, (in the search box) click on copy link without entering anything, it will fill the box with following url (steem-bounty.com/services/forever/undefined/undefined) and show invalid url msg below.
Expected Behavior:
Nothing should happen when I click on the link.
(2)
Actual: (Under what is steem forever)
If you you want extra upvotes: share your post with steem-bounty link.

Thank you!
Steem forever is a great initiative. After some post and comment testing, it is well .But i see one thing that need to improve.
Search another post button don't actually work. It shows "404 Not Found". This button need to add "steem forever search" link.
After Clicking it shows
Took a look at the interface and it is quite sleek and simple. After running through a couple of posts and upvotes it looks like the system is working properly. I am using the Brave Browser and it works perfectly on here. Great work!
Dear @knircky, i put the link of my last post on it and after it transfer me into steem-bounty page, so i think it work well, but may be it could be nice if can be a message that confirm the post in the steem-forever, because for who already use steem-bounty the post is already inside it...
This is easily one of the single greatest things to happen to STEEM when it comes to rewarding content creators. First of all I'd like to thank you for this.
The landing page was very well done. I don't think you need any modification there. Using the service is super easy and I tried upvoting 3 great posts I had missed and also tested voting on on of my own posts. They were all successful and everything was smooth.
But I couldn't vote successfully on this post: https://steem-bounty.com/services/forever/@alexander.alexis/adolescence-the-hallmark-of-humanity It just didn't work.
I had to Log In Via Steemconnect even when I had already Logged In using my posting key. (Not a real issue. I'm just curious why?)
I'd rate the product A-
Few Questions?
Is the reward given when the comment pays out?
Do you keep any fee?
What happens if a second person upvote the comment on Steemit, Busy etc?
In the long run, having a bunch of generic comments on a post can be annoying. So you might have to make your own post and gather the votes there after dropping a link on the author's post using a single comment. Maybe you should have an alt account named @steem-forever
Excellent Service! Best of Luck!
Yes we are sharing the reward with the author, but will keep a fee. How much i am not sure exactly. And yes this will be paid out wehn the comment is paid out. We will create a comment once a week if an upvote occurs. We will all link them under the first one so ther may be 1 very long thread of forever comments ubder every popular post.
I hope this becomes a problem, but will deal with it when it does.
As it comes to fees, notice that we are operating at a loss at the moment and are no where near making a profit or getting the money we invested back. We are working on building features for the future of steem and hope to get some of the rewards when prices are going up again.
Thank you for the kind words!

The page seems good and impressive but the text needs to be darkened and enlarged. The text looks very small and is less clear due to grey colour. I think I cant check out the service because I literally don't have active followers as I am still a minnow.
I've gone through your steem-bounty forever page. These are my observations:
It is not too clear to me if am to use the steembounty forever link just before making my post originally or if am to use it after the 7 days of originally posting it so that it is renewed.
Yes I see the description extended after the 7 days of upvote to described the time the services of stewmbounty forever, but I asked myself does it continue forever? So if we're promoting that the service will make the upvotes continue forever, then we should stress that part of the services because that is what is is meant to do.
I think it is a great product, it will make many of our post we feel should have everlasting benefits rewarding always. It is kinda like royalty for music recording or films. Good job.

Your post works as usual. forever just adds the ability to get upvotes after 7 days via our UI
I visited your steem-bounty forever page. Its awesome. In my observation
You can added an AI like Google search though it is not easy . That means when we search an post or comment link first time , its automatically added in database . If someone want to be search same post or comment link again its automatically show recommended post or link . That's help user to search it again.
When we search a post by steem-bounty forever, we see same related post for different search content.
I think, those two things need to improve and those improvement , steem-bounty forever become more effective to use for a user.
But will People vote at the post when they see that it is older than 7 Days? A lot of people do not do so. But the idea is awesome and I will try it out.

Hello there! I was checking the page and it looks great, I was able to understand everything even tho I'm not a native english speaker so it's clear enough for us to navigate around. The point is clear and the examples are helpful too, plus the illustration keep the page alive, I think you did a pretty good job! I'm hoping to use it in the future
Thank you!
Very cool idea steemit-forever. I tried one link of mine.

Is the Voting Club Bot down?
Shared with my followers :-)
Club has been working fine according to logs? Why do u think iys down?
Just have been wondering why my VP was on 100% without any votes outgoing and incoming.
Do u have any post?
That is indeed strange?
Yea i see that you have many posts. I will have the team look into this. They are off for the weekend. But i will let you know.
We may just need a few more usesers as well.
Yes I have posted on a nearly daily base and sometimes even twice.
I am curious what happens with my next posts.
Yea that is odd. I am on a weekend getaway but will look into this next week. We just changed the algo significantly so maybe something is off. Maybe stop upvoting me ans uwelang for a bit, since we are both members our post should match with you for sure. But i am certain there are other big members that should match with you.
Yes I stopped voting Uwe and you manualy when I saw that you are both in the club.
Thank you very much and have a nice weekend.

STOPDo not miss the last post from @steemitboard:
I don´t know how fast you work, but it seems that most of the bugs/errors reported are already fixed. It´is working very cleanly.
I haven´t got any upvote yet, but until that point everything rolled as I was expecting to.
Finally, answering your question, it was very easy and intuitive to do.
Congrats to @knircky and @famunger for the huge success. Ready to lauch!!
Yep the team has already dealt with a bunch of the reported bugs :-)
This is a really great idea, and I think I would start using the product when it gets officially released.
I couldn't find any bugs that nobody else found already.
Good luck with having a successful launch !
steem-bounty upvote exchange service works for me smoothly!
Steem-Forever web page
The website was designed quite well. It was eye-catching and allowed me to read each line completely due to the information being short and precise. 90% of the page made sense and the graphics used was simplistic yet blended in well with the web page...
The font of the text is the perfect size for the reader and co-ordination of the web page as a whole. The colors of the website are cool, hence the reason it does not hurt your eyes. This is great as it keeps the user engrossed in the details being defined in the text.
The way the site was categorized was done so somewhat effortlessly by capturing the main aspects of how the Steem-forever is to be run and how to benefit from it.
Looking over the website a final time while writing this, begs the question to be asked... Is it supposed to have to sections dedicated to "What to do"? If this was meant to be like this, all well and good, maybe it was to represent the idea as frames with text in it serving as a graphical representation... But if not, maybe you should just do it all in one since it does seem somewhat repetitive.
Steem-bounty
Steem-bounty has been really great for me actually...
The UI of the whole website was user-friendly and I found it was easy to understand how to do bounties as well as how to create bounties of your own. This is a great way for the community to share with each other and for everyone, including the minnow like myself to make something of themselves...
I did not find any faults in Steem-bounty yet , I have always been paid out on time and there was never any problems while participating in bounties either.
Steem-bounty Upvotes
This is something I started recently and have already seen the effect it has on my account. I have been getting upvotes quite often from the service and have not had problems yet, lets hope it stays this way :D

While i think this service is a really good idea, it should have Human curators (or maybe call them post-whitelisters) who are voted (and maybe even unvoted) by the Community. The reason is simple. This Tool allows even more Rewardpool-Rape. I think its a very good idea for Quality content that was a lot of work but it should not be possible to upvote Memes forever, for instance.
I think they present a tool that comes to give a solution to one of the great details of steemit, which is the short period of time that posts have a productive life.
I think it's great.
I think something that could be included is the possibility of saying "republish" some post from those we made a long time ago and considered good, but because they were starting in steemit they had almost no visibility. I do not know if it will be possible.
Interesting project, always thought we should be able to reward posts older than 7 days :D
This post is featured on today's news (in Chinese :D)

Now the message with the image of steem-forever looks a little better, from the answers tab of each profile you can easily see which publication has revived each one if you do not want to go to www.steem-bounty.com
I like the idea of earning beyond the normal 7 day window, especially as Steemit continues to grow/on-board more people, and even that day when Steemit is no longer beta software. I am not really sure of how the economics of Steemit-forever are working, but as long as it didn’t cause harm to Steemit itself, I would use the service.
I noticed a proofreading error on the 4th bulletpoint of the 1st section(you you).
I was able to follow along with the idea and posted an 8 month old article to test with.
I will add a second post that is only a few days old to see how that works out as well.
I was not real clear on what was supposed to happen after I added my older post. I did end up upvoting my old post and then by going back to that post on Steemit by way of the visit post button and did notice that a new comment was added, so that part of the process was not intuitive to me.
When I tried with a post that had not paid out, I’m not sure if I added it successfully.
I did my testing on the Brave browser on an iPad and I did notice a problem in writing/editing for this reply, specifically editing and using the cursor control to get rid of a space gap and replace a misspelled word. I’d like to see a bigger reply area.
This is an issue I've often brought up in the past, and a much-needed service I think. Great job.
I love your services and use your upvote exchange! The new service sounds wonderful but I’m kinda confused how to use it. Maybe make it more clear?
So, I got an Issue. Will this work if I used this project and paste the link of my expired post and then place it in bounty? Will I get the rewards? Let me explain more clearly, What I mean is, Can I use the link of steem forever and use it as a steem bounty and get further rewards?
I found the page informative, very well laid out, and look forward to sharing this service with my followers. Resteeming for sure.
