About Steem and Voice

solarwarrior 6 years ago

just a copy paste from another post's reply:
its a bit like microsoft / linux
for EOS it makes a lot sense to implement KYC and to become a real commercial power blockchain.. that's their way and it will be a successful one...
but KYC will repel many users and USE CASES..
so if EOS voice becomes successful it will drag steem in its slipstream up...
.. and yes we have to find a way to facilitate commercial transactions on steem and it will be somehow more difficult because of missing KYC.. but we also have a strong open source community that creates amazing technology..
.. and in regards to BOTs... yes this is the evil of steem.. but if everyone here would be on the same page we could abolish them pretty quick.. with or without KYC...

So the "competition" to this place wants to emulate something that already exists? GOOD! We win already. This place already learned that lesson the hard way. We can't emulate, we must innovate. They can have their primitive text messenger/link sharing platform. We can embrace the multi billion dollar entertainment industry and be the source of the links those folks share, by producing the content. Hopefully, someday, this place will actually allow the content to thrive. The actual content. Not the crap you vote sellers promote to the front page. The stuff that drives us actual content producers away, along with the potential billions we can generate, not that stuff. Maybe someday some people will see the true value in content and stop promoting rubbish. I'm thinking now those proposed changes are perfect timing.

P.S. This place emulating Reddit is incredibly small thinking, and that's all been done before.

*edit: Thanks for the downvote, Wolfie. You huffed and you puffed and you blew my house down. You can still have my upvote. It's okay.

I think we need a good search engine or tool to find the topic we are interested in. There are a lot of good posts on steem.

Google works, sometimes. First word in search is Steemit, then fill in the blanks after for what you're looking for. I needed to find a comment a made over a year ago. Steemit nonameslefttouse then the keyword of the comment took me directly to it.

why not just team up with presearch and integrate into steemit. Then it 's a win win situation. Steemit gets a search tool and we get tokens for using it plus its a win for promoting the presearch tool.

What you are calling the "competition" to this place is being created by the same guy who created this place.

Dan's too big to fit inside the bottle. You know what Dan probably won't create? A feature that blocks sharing Steemit content across his new shiny social network. Factor that in with what I said about this place being the hub for content production and I think, eventually, we'll find ourselves all working together again. Maybe it doesn't have to be competition? Maybe the two go hand in hand? Maybe that would be good for all investors. Thanks for the kick in the ass... LOL!

True value in content? What's your art worth for a guy only interested in learning how to make some money? Probably nothing. He would much rather read content that teaches him how to actually make money - e.g. gary vaynernuck.

That's why Steem has to go into the reddit direction aka communities. You can have your own little bubble/community, where everyone cares as much as you do for the art-style you're producing.

0.00 BPC

nonameslefttouse 6 years ago (edited)

So anyway. True value in content, in general, all of it, helps generate billions of dollars yearly. Arts and entertainment, it's valuable. The first three letters of the word article spell what? Arts and entertainment isn't just about... pictures. It's literally anything someone wants to consume... and I simply look forward to the day more people realize what those potential billions could mean to this place. If we don't embrace it though, or fail to see why those billions could be important, that's probably a bad thing. Communities is a fine idea. I hope they make a community for promoted content, so the real content can rise to the top again, because with the attention the real content gets, naturally, comes those billions. I can't wait until people stop attempting to hold back a good thing. I want people to see it, support it, and share, not this place, but the content within, all over the world on every social network in existence. Allow content producers to do their thing, allow them to be successful, then watch how we don't even need to market this place. What attracts people to Netflix? The platform, or the content they heard about? Think long and hard about that one. I suppose if that, or how I see or feel about things, or my mere presence here, is worthy of a downvote, so be it.

onthewayout 6 years ago

I was refering to the presentation of the social media app not the whole show. They don't have an actual working product yet and didn't go into the details. So it boils down to them saying we will have a social media app and the name is Voice and it will be one person one vote. Other than the name they didn't say anything new. The market reflected the let down and EOS lost 8%.

0.00 BPC

geekgirl 6 years ago

I disagree. This was huge for EOS. As far as the product, I am sure it is ready. Otherwise, they wouldn't make a big show out of it. My guess is they are trying to make sure the signup system works as intended. We will see. It will be interesting.

0.00 BPC

onthewayout 6 years ago

I am just pointing that the anouncement fell short of the expectations. It's not a coincidence that out of the top 100 coins EOS lost the most yesterday on the markets (by a big margin). I am sure that Block One has a very capable group of engineers but it's clear that the market was expecting something else and that is an objective fact given the reaction on the price. Voice is far from a steemit killer as Dan Larimer claimed.

This is probably the most insightful and constructive of posts I have read concerning the EOSIO DAPP VOICE_TM. I once told @ned, responding to a comment he made in a post, that competition is good and would help STEEMIT.COM work towards providing the best platform for its users.

My thoughts on the entire identity verification process being imposed upon those wishing to join the new EOSIO VOICE social media platform can be summed up here by our friend Dr. Lector...

This view is based upon a couple of STEEM posts I have read so far, but I do need to research a bit more before I come to a more informed position.

I do admit that I have some EOS in my portfolio, but diversification is my strategy when it comes to investments. I am now, and will forever be, a STEEM stakeholder and STEEM community member.

You are right on the money @therealwolf with your conclusions. Appreciate your contributions here on STEEM. I would be curious to hear @fyrstikken and other large STEEM stakeholders' views on this most recent of EOSIO DAPP rollouts.

...the position of decentralised Reddit is still available... And that's where Steem fits perfectly.

I’ve often wondered why, when even the name Steemit was originally a riff on Reddit, the #til tag has never really caught on here, given how popular it is on Reddit.

0.00 BPC

cmplxty 6 years ago (edited)

I was annoyed by the name, it’s bland and lame and is trying to play on the recognition of the TV show IMO.
Steem is unique and interesting.

I like your analogy; we are the decentralized Reddit for sure. We have the excellent communities that are going strong here and getting bigger by the week. This platform does have things that need to improve however this whole notion of Steem killer is both silly and flattering.

It’s silly because in an environment such as the internet and social media, focusing on your rival and trying to take them down keeps you short sighted and you end up missing the big picture I think.
It’s also flattering that a coin with so much money behind it is trying that hard to attack a community like ours. It’s great publicity, getting people to see what the rival chain is if they happen upon his claims to take us down.

I feel pretty good about the future of Steem today, I was underwhelmed with the news. We only have so much time in a day to do things, let’s focus on the future of blockchain instead of rivalry’s.

It was obvious they were going to do KYC, which is the exact opposite spirit of the decentralized movement. This puts a cap on the entire platform, as at some point it's going to be financially viable to use tactics of identity theft or straight up creating people that don't exist.

I watched their announcements and to be honest, I was a bit disappointed. I would have expected more from Dan and EOS. And like you said: some competition is not bad. We'll have to step up our game and that's good.
When Dan mentioned there will be no space for trolls on VOICE it made me laugh. How will they implement this? Who gets to decide who is a troll? And how is that decentralized? Fact is: there will always be trolls everywhere online. There's no getting around it. And fighting against trolls will need a centralized approach. I am very interested to see how they will do that.

I have just uploaded my video and I spoke about it in the end. In all honesty it doesn't look bad at all to me... More than emulate twitter I feel they trying to emulate Tumblr. Offering all the different type of formats from short to long in the same platform.

The disappointing part was all the hype and it is not ready for users... Next time they shouldn't hype so much of they don't have actually something that people can get in and test.

mister wolfe @therealwolf ... its very early but i wonder what your opinion was on the HF21 new "systems" , relating to stuff like smartsteem delegators for instance :) , its way too early to understand impact over the whole system but maybe you have an opinion on the matter, i'm sure you're more schooled and versed as its pretty close to you there :)

just after reading on one of my other fav witnesses :

https://steemit.com/hf21/@rudyardcatling/pshwki

sorry to go offtopic here but i just have to ask :p no rush ofcourse

if i were to just scan it all my first reaction would be : my steempower is gonna halve in both worth and effect but instead i'd like to ask around first hahah, at your leisure ofcourse

Alright, that's it for now. Don't let the FUD get you, let us rather use this situation to learn from it and use it as fuel to kickstart some changes! (seriously!)
Wolf

did you want #fud with that :p heh lol, if you consider the advent of quantum computing, the computing power isn't much of a threat to classic systems, even if you get a million combos per second, you can't enter them, and most systems lock out after a few failed attempts, especially financial However, if you apply that to a public blockchain where you have no way of preventing "decrypting"/login attempts and not even a log in the chain to see what wallet got accessed unless you get a transaction. Now *that* is reason for panic, but don't tell anyone - BTC just went gud, sadly i have none left since mtGox

Barring Vitalsky apologizing to "the original cypherpunks" i don't see much happening to fix that potential issue so whoever comes up with the solution might be in for the digits heh

@therealwolf, If we look towards the aspect of KYC then in my opinion i think that VOICE will not stay as Decentralised.

But let's see because we never know which platform brings what innovation. But i strongly believe that Rivals always help us to stay one step ahead when it comes to innovation.
