RE: What should I do help this platform?

in #steem8 years ago


Hey @tamim - here is another post to help explain what is going on :) https://steemit.com/steem/@timcliff/the-whale-voting-experiment-explained-including-downvotes-from-abit

You are free to do as you would like with your voting power, but my personal recommendation is that you 'play along' with the experiment. Out of everything that has been done around here since I joined back in July, this has been by far the biggest moral boost to the "regular users" of the platform - to actually see that their SP has some influence.

What I have heard is that if you can keep your votes (including any voting trails that may possibly be following you) under 800 MV worth of SP, that you shouldn't be subject to any downvotes (at least due to the experiment).

Hope this helps! Thanks for your great attitude towards making the platform better :)

So, my question to the gang is: what can I do to help make this place become "the place to be?"

  1. Help promote the platform
  2. Periodically visit the #help channel in Steemit.chat to see if there are any users that you can help answer questions for
  3. If you have developer skills and are interested in working on code changes to the UI, let me know ;)

I agree. I feel the morale boost right through the screen. I like this. Do you until when this experiment is meant to last?

I don't. It is a question for @abit.

I suspect (this is just my own opinion/theory) that if it is successful (which it seems to be) then there will be some discussion on how to make it more of a long-term thing in a way that is fair to the large stake-holders and does not incentivize them to split their SP into multiple little accounts.

I think it is successful. And, I am on board. I believe that more and more should be done to level the playing field, this way the little guy has a chance to also compete. It's bummer when he has to shovel snow with his bare hands. Lets give him a shovel! The big guy still has his snowblower. :)
