So @elear, the man behind utopian.io just quit his full-time job as a well-paid developer to dedicate himself 100% to the steem app that rewards open-source contributions.
I am very excited about that news as well as being worried that there will be enough support across the web to bring his vision into reality.
What I like most about this project is that it already captured the imagination of people who are die-hard fans of open source projects. There is a highly dedicated team of curators to make sure no garbage goes through as well as more than 1 million SteemPower delegated so far towards this project.
This is why I'm Adding 20,000 SteemPower to my SP Delegation
That will get me to 70,000 SteemPower total towards this project.
Here are a few things that I am looking for in this project
- Communities: They will allow each github project to moderate their own utopian repo
- SMT: To crowdfund in order for this project to have a full time dev team
- Utopian Repo powered by their own SMTs: Imagine if each project could launch it's own SMT and reward their contributors before the beta version?
- A new interface
Conclusion
Two calls to action
First, if you can delegate and believe in the utopian.io project, what are you waiting for? The more people delegate the more incentives we can create for people contribute to open source projects via the steem blockchain!
Second, if you have an open source github repo already, sync utopian with your github to actually make the links between them real and tangible.

i think is difficult to understand for normal people what's going on, but elear is trustable and a nice guy, so very good!
Nice idea
Yup, that's True!!!
Hi, I'm amazed every day by going to see what's happening on Steemit! I'm new here, but it's cool to discover a new project thanks to motivated people like you! (My first Resteem post)
Hi everyone, I'm discovering too, and I love it!
Good Start ;)
Thank you so much @cryptoctopus. Your support is the biggest motivation I could ask for!
Great idea, because under all circumstances we have to help, and if there is still an opportunity to rise, then I'm in the subject! Thank you @cryptoctopus
I'm really excited about utopian, hadn't read much about it before I started hearing about it on Steemfest. Will be looking to help them out with delegations once we stop growing in curators on @ocd and my SP allows it.
right on
This is awesome! I'm excited about the Utopian project and I think it has amazing potential. It should definitely bring a lot of people from GitHub over to Steem and the Steemit based community.
I will definitely be monitoring this project for the foreseeable future and will be donating myself when I have some extra cash to do so!
As an open source fan I'm really excited for this.
thats a great news ..thanks for sharing your important information
I like most your post and support you...
Nice friend, very good done!
A cheering news! I pray the utopian.io project gets of similar supports. I will keep contributing my little inputs into the project as often as possible. Thanks
Making moves right there 💯
I so much love your strong support and desire to help make steemit the best. Your points are valid and timely.
Nice one
Thank you for your active work and support!
This is awesome. The more I read about this the more I realize I need to start learning about github and reading up on the project. It would be nice to start doing some programming and creating as a side project/job.
This is dope, will definitely make some more contributions and get some other devs on the platform...
I simply love your articles, what great content and quality of posting you offer the community here on Steemit and abroad.
Thanks a lot :)
this is great news for steem. there's a need for people and projects like that to grow! thanks
@cryptoctopus,
Respect what you did! Leaving full time job is a hard decision to take and risky! Now we should help him to reach his ultimate goal! This is a huge dedication! Great work you have done!
Cheers~
You are always so supportive to the community building mate! You show great example, hope some other big players follow the same steps as you!
That is really a great IDEA!!!
@cryptoctopus Great move! I'm glad that utopian is more support and huge delegation, esp 1M from @ned.
Nice contribution there by you :)
wow it will help a lot!
nice..good luck on the project..wish you all the best.
