I had no idea that @krazykrista et al had formed their own platform! I remember them from the weekly Steemit show where they would help newbies verbally share their content and organize folks upvoting the shared content. I tried it once, but try as we might, KK and I just couldn't get my audio working. Nice people.
I noticed the icon for their server changed in my Discord, but I've been so caught up in activity with other servers that I never figured out anything else had changed.
Now that you've given me this excellent "get up to speed" I'm going to definitely give it a look.
I love Steemit and am fully invested here (as my post from last night makes abundantly clear) but I also believe in diversifying one's crypto investments. That's whether you're buying with cash or mining with equipment/content creation.
I actually had been on Minds since last Spring, but I find that platform too Trumpy for me. Then I joined Trybe recently, which is built on EOS. There isn't much activity on there, and it also sometimes seems to go down and lose what you just created if you didn't manually hit 'save.' I like the idea of staying closer to the Steem community, in terms of relationships I already have here. But a different way of distributing rewards that isn't based on SP is very interesting to me. Definitely will check it out.
Thanks for this post.
And you might check out my new tutorial that explains how you get a Whaleshares account. It's kind of tricky....but doable.
I already signed up at their site and am waiting for confirmation. I didn’t realize there was more to it. Will definitely take a look!
Temporary process at the moment to manage the flood of new accounts trying to be made and hopefully prevent mass sock-pocket account creation in the early days. A lot of "less-than-ethical" steemit folk trying to push their way in to setup shop with their old steemit schemes.
We are close to releasing a fully automated account creation process with various ways to verify human owners.
That's good to know. Well it's not like I'm not plenty busy with writing I'm doing already. But would love to connect with those folks too.
The show you're talking about is still running @indigoocean :)
You're still hosting it for Steem and separately doing Whaleshares stuff?
People from both Steem and Whaleshares can talk about their posts, at least I haven't heard anyone say it is going to be exclusively for posts made on Whaleshares . . . yet.
Krista did not create her own platform ;-) The Whaleshares dev team did, and we no longer use the old discord since it is not owned by the Whaleshares team - that's why you see a different icon and nothing realted to Whaleshares happening in there anymore.
