Supporting other Blockchain applications
For whatever reason, when I write, I tend to hyperlink text to provide the reader with an easy way to check a reference. Often times, this will lend their way to a Wikipedia entry. As a decentralized social media advocate, this left me feeling a little dirty. However, with a quick search, I was able to locate the blockchain equivalent to Wikipedia: Everipedia.
Everipedia: The online encyclopedia reinvented for the modern age.
The product is live and usable for everyone, however, to register for an account in order to contribute, you must be invited. I simply joined their Telegram group and asked for an invite. Done!
I haven't contributed to the Wiki yet, though I will organically when I want to link to information that is not available on the platform. I think there's a way to earn Everipedia tokens in this manner, but it's not something I've experimented with. The main point here is: this seems to be the best Wikipedia alternative at the moment, as Steemit bloggers, let's use it!
Know of anything better?
If you like Everipedia, let me know! If you know of an even better alternative, let me know! And if you enjoyed this small blurb, please consider upvoting this post. Thanks!
Hi support me with your precious vote.
I got your Yoga post :)
I beg your parden. Plz explane
Oh this is interesting. Will read more on this later... Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Checking out your blog :)

Hmm, not to sound like a dick but what makes this so great? It's a for profit, rather than not for profit Wikipedia. If it's for profit isn't it easier to be more biased if there's a payment? I tried to search something and kept getting errors. I don't like your recommendation.
Nah dude I appreciate your criticism! You make a valid point about the profit involved. It's not clear to me (because this system is not active) exactly how contributors will earn tokens - and I think that process matters.
I personally think that giving a Wiki type product on the blockchain a try is a good idea. I'd like to see how a large decentralized community handles content, especially with the censorship on Wikipedia.
I guess it depends on how the payment works. What I hope doesn't happen is that you simply get tokens for creating a page, because then we're gonna get all the bots making nonsensical pages for $. We'll see how it works out. For now, and maybe this is just because I'm biased because YouTube suspended my account with 22k subs, I'm a fan of decentralized social media.
Thanks for taking the other side :)
Hey Steve! Thanks for writing about this. I have been building a group of fundamentally-sound crypto platform which allow earning tokens via the various sorts of DAILY activities we perform as bloggers. At this point I am using Steemit for blogging, curating, etc. and Presearch ( https://presearch.org/signup?rid=290755 - referral link if you are inclines, otherwise you can simply go to the main page) which enables you to earn 0.25 PRE per search query (up to 32 per day - which is reasonable) just by doing your regaulr daily searching through their platform. Their white paper is very interesting (with the goal of providing a better alternative to the Google search monopoly), and I HIGHLY suggest you check it out. You also earn 25 PRE per referral, but this is insignificant to the INHERENT value of this new platform. I am interested in finding out more about the token earning program for Everpedia. Could you throw together a post on that? I would surely upvote it and follow through on the info, and use you as a referral (if that is part of the program). That would add ANOTHER core monetization to my daily activity which is much welcomed. Let me know...
Wow I didn't even consider looking for a Search product on the blockchain. Amazing! I love the list of blockchain alternatives I'm curating now. I Just signed up for presearch with your link.
Yeah I'm already compiling the known details of how IQ tokens will work on Everpedia. They just migrated to EOS (they've actually been non-blockchain this entire time) and, to my knowledge, no one has been getting tokens for creating content on their site.
Great! I just saw your referral show up in my account. I suggest you do what I did when I joined last month - simply start searching (just switching Presearch for your regular daily Google activity -- actually in the current stage of Beta they provide you a choice to search with Google, and many others, as they develop the native Presearch search engine). I simply started using it (you can see your points increase with each search) WHILE reading one or two pages of the white paper daily. You can also get referrals, but they need to earn 100 PRE points (which is 400 searches) before the 25 PRE credit is granted to your account. This is EASY though with the kind of searching that peple like us do (it's actually 13.3333333333333333333333333333 searches per day!
Anyway, yes, if you can do a proper writeup to help get the community up-to-speed with Everipedia, and how to earn tokens (like with Presearch) I would be interested in integrating such a tool/platform into my daily routine, which is very research-intense...
Already installed the Chrome extension and made it my homepage :) I work from home so I'm on my computer all day searching everything. I know the # is limited, but I like how it's automated.
Alrighty then!
