Vlog 188: I can't think of any other blockchain where the community is working so hard to add true value to the blockchain every single day.

in #dtube7 years ago (edited)


It's not just through content creation. It's so much more.

We have people that have taken it upon themselves to promote the steem blockchain in their own countries. And they are not hired to do this. They do it because they believe in this project.

We have developers that have taken it upon themselves to create apps and frontends for the Steem blockchain. And they are not hired to do this. (they can monetize the blockchain on their own).

And all of this is happening without the Steem inc team being involved in any of this (as far as I know).

The Steem team can just work hard on making the blockchain itself as solid as they can make it. With, HF20, SMT's and scaling.

With the Steem blockchain, you don't have to wait for a team to do everything for you. You can start today. Because the whole blockchain is already working great.

It's not a promise in the future like so many projects out there.

Some have already started like @good-karma. He just released a new version of his eSteem app.

New eSteem version


@good-karma released a new version of his fantastic app called eSteem. I have been testing it all morning and it works great. Check out his release post here.



I am a witness with our developer group @blockbrothers for the Steem blockchain. If you want to support us I would appreciate your vote here.

We build Steemify a notification app for your Steemit account for iOS.

It’s true and the hard work for many peoples or is finally starting to pay off.

Thanks for the update on esteem.
Just download it.
Steem is a project that rely on every steemians.
You have said it.
This is really a community. You do your part and make the blockchain stronger and better.
Keep on steemit.

Yeah, you have a point there. It looks like steem community own steem project. This is not seen in any other blockchain, they just rely on developers. One reason could be incentives you get in the form of SBD and steem when you use that project on steem blockchain or post it here and get rewarded from the users. If that is the case then even it is better because at the end of the day everyone needs appreciation and it is better it is adding something good to the community.

It's like you combine video game + a new digital currency that could be traded into something real. Are there actually any other platform that also works as social media + Blockchain or is Steemit the only one?

It's very clear that it's working because of the reward system. It makes the whole system more engaging. Also probably work so well because people are kind of fed up with the other large social media sites that are censoring stuff and becoming stagnant.

But much of this also just happens because the world population is growing so fast that just a few companies cant capture all the value under some huge umbrella. Every single individual is starting to become real powerful because of how empowered they are getting because of new technology. And with new research and development that constantly push the price down. Machine learning has another massive part in this.

You create a nice positive feedback loop when people faster get rewarded for good content. With other platforms it takes a longer time. And then you may forget what it was you did that gave you a reward. The quicker feedback makes people adjust faster and optimize. And people like to get rewarded more from other users than some company. Because it feels more special and personal.

We are probably all moving slowly ahead into some new era. But there will be many bumps on the road that's for sure! But we truly live in exciting times for people who want to work for themselves or express themselves to the world.

yeah it's an old term to me that got bolted in when 'social media' came along, the worse term for 'audience' i've ever seen yet nobody else knew what to call it -- i've always been 'socialable with my media' that is if you want it you can have it for free, it's always been the 'content' component (the audio, video, text, graphics) that people notice and can lead to what we would normally know of as the 'work' and the 'process'

the wonderful thing about a transparent, open blockchain where your activity is the metric of engagement it's up to the audience to validate your 'content creation' -- it feels very much like a bs term like social media but it's just the building blocks of 'doing the work' -- i spent so many years trying to explain to people, brands and small companies why they needed to do the blogging, media and video parts of content creation -- problem is most people in business are not normally creative about storytelling or understand the benefits of speculative communication to customers they don't have.

with steemit i'm able to communicate the work i do on a daily basis, maintain a blog and get a bit of payment for my time and involvement, it's the involvement over time that creates longer lasting relationships in a decentralized world because our legacy is here for all to see -- the lines of hobbies, work and life in general blur and turn into a utopian digital life experience.

Very true, https://promo-steem.com/ has come up with Steem Ambassadors, who are elected by the community as dedicated and trusted Steem Blockchain promoters in their respective countries... Anybody can apply to become Steem Ambassador and can promote their Steemit marketing campaign with #promo-steem tag , which will be curated by Whales... So promoting Steem is going to be far more rewarding now...

Maybe I can learn a lot with you guys, thank you for your knowledge and information
That's a very good idea

That's an awesome idea

Great video @exyle!

Great story! Well deserve to be upvoted!

@exyle,
Yeah it's absolutely correct. No other blockchain has such huge community backup. Therefore, this is truly amazing. Esteem new version pretty cool. I also testing that app. So far so good. Great you decided to talk about that.

Cheers~

Seasonal mood disorder is real. It is nice when the seasons change. Yes - mitigating risk is the name of the game.

Adding value to the blockchain is great idea. It's really nice seeing you discussing about it. The esteem app have not being working well for some days now, but I just noticed they are on upgrade and has just released new version, l am going to test it out by using it to post today Steemup Record in Nigeria.
Thanks so much for sharing @exyle, your vlog has keep me going on steemit.

Steem is the best project, i think, about the crypto, because is not only a crypto, but a new way for the social media.

It is so nice to hear you speak so enthusiast about Steemit. I think you made a lot of people happy because they learn from you and become enthusiastic also! And, I hear your voice every day, that's nice too!!!!

Thank you. And I'm happy you get to see me almost every day :)

@clio and @exyle you are such a Blessing to STEEMIT and it is incredible that Mark and his Mom can be here on the same platform.

An excellent idea appeared in the @good-karma , the more applications, the more significant is the contribution to our common cause of promoting the Steemit to the masses. Thanks to such people, including you Mark and your team our ecosystem is developing more and more quickly, from which it becomes more interesting for other people! Thank you Mark and keep us informed of what's happening!

@exyle you are so right about the market being volatile. It's up and down every day and can certainly put a lot of stress on the mind if you are not careful. Putting some value back in the bank makes sense.

For me I'm enjoying Steemit now. I started taking photos and sharing them over the last year on my blog, but since the start of 2018 I'm getting heavily into D.Tube - just made the D.Tube trending page for the first time today! Woot!

I think D.Tube is a great community it allows people to be 'down to earth', unlike Facebook and YouTube where it's all about the showiness. . Thanks for always sharing your thoughts out in the open.

I'll be updating my eSteem app shortly too. I used to be doing 100 comments a day when it was first released, hopefully the bugs are gone now.

I am learning new things every day. I have never dealt with crypto before. I love the fact that with DTube and Steemit you are not censored, or your content removed if you say something that they do not agree with. This gives you a sense of freedom and coming from Youtube you are always so scared every time that you upload a video that it risks everything. It is a great feeling to just have that freedom again. I love your vlog and I wanted to say thank you.

Thank you so much! The freedom is indeed great.

I like your posts so much that I always wait for your post and with your post attention Podium I thank you very much…i alawayas saw your video

That's the true catalyst for innovation, people being able freely think and implement solutions. That's what the internet should be about. A place where you can develop your ideas and also monetize them.

What are the difference between eSteem app and Steemify? I have the Steemify app now and I'm just curious if I should change to eSteem or if there is a use case for both of them?

There is a use case for both of them. eSteem makes it possible to communicate with the blockchain and that's awesome. I use it every day. Steemify will give you a lot more notification options and you can add different users because it does not require keys, just usernames.

Okay good to know. Then I will check eSteem out 👍
Thanks for the great info as usual exyle

I like the eSteem app and have been using it on android. It helps me access Steemit while on the move.

I love your thought on investing... I liked when you said you don't want to invest like a cowboy :)

excellent post and it's true all these amazing developments shows that how much peoples love the steem blockchain and how much they have trust on steem blockchain and all these developments really strengthened the steem blockchain and it's nice to hear about the new esteem app i tried and use the old version and honestly don't know about the new release but now curtesy to your post i came to know about esteem app and i will surely try it soon and i hope it will be more enhanced then previous one, thanks for sharing such important informations with us, Stay blessed

If you ask me, i feel steemit is also doing a great job by building communities. Down here in Uyo, Nigeria, we have steemians who are whales that have been moving around universities and school preaching about steemit. They have also created accelerated hubs packaged with free wifi and equipments to help build steemians and their business.

Steemit indeed is the best. I pray it becomes number one someday 🙌

Aside from that, the thing I love about Steemit is that everybody is so helpful and openminded, I have yet to come upon someone who is dismissive or disrespectful. Granted I've been here for a short time now but hopefully, time won't prove me wrong.

Negativity is almost nowhere to be found on Steemit, at least from my experience. I guess posts regarding politics generate some heated discussions, but I still think people have learnt that behaving nicely is what earns respect and Steemdollars;)

That's exactly my experience - so I'll guess I'll have to stay ;)

Good morning Mark, it is so nice to see people who bring support (with tools and votes) and to see people who give input and comments on other interesting posts. All together we build the blockchain, and while doing we have fun and in many times we see great entries with all kind of topics, or all kind of contest where we could share lovely pictures. Every single steemian is working hard to find its place on the best place to be.

Hi dear, I am also the regular commentator of your work, I have not any courage to communicate but you are my inspiration and energy to do my job in this community, so I always have the great wait for your post. Thanks for sharing everyday very much knowledge base post for the community. Thanks.

With the Steem blockchain, you don't have to wait for a team to do everything for you. You can start today. Because the whole blockchain is already working great.

Indeed! a lot of steemians (myself included) are doing everything possible to promote this platform, make its coverage wider, make the platform better, add value to it and reach out to a lot of people to come in and invest in the platform.

The Steem blockchain has a lot of potentials and it'll soon attain a higher peak, reputation and adoption.


Oh! Esteem has a new version? I'm downloading it right away.

Thanks for sharing this.

Happy Steeming

And God will continue to bless your good works

After reading your post what just came in my mind is an adage in my local dialet which says "adze pa ton ne ho", literally translated to english means good things sell themselves.
Since I joined steemit I've seen that it is a community of value which I believe everyone else agrees. As such, everyone is willing to contribute his or her quota to make it a haven for all steemians. The future is bright with steemit.

This is so true .. I belong to a community called #steembenin created by @jaff8 and there we help each other progress and also share ideas on how to move steemit beyond us .. This is a platform that is impacting in the lives of so many not just for it's financial rewards but it adds value to it's users .. It's giving everyone a chance to be part of something big

It is great to see a community that allows everyone their niche and being able to maintain a environment of quality content , also enabling people to fully build on and extend without silly limitations.

And as with all families in life there are the black sheep. Or as I like to call them the circle jerkers. I think the curators need more powerful official auto flag tools and isolated community detection where people are posting as an extreme example, exactly the same content and just voting each others.

Good morning man

I know you are saying there is sunshine and the days are getting longer, but it looks bloody cold over there still!

Always good to hear you talking with so much excitement with regards to the Steem Blockchain and especially all the hard work from Developers - These apps are what is putting us way ahead of the competition!

(And we don't even need to mention SMTS :D )

Bianca is promo-steem queen at present it seems! Nice job there B!

Enjoy your Sunday :)

As long as there is Sunshine I don't mind it being cold :). @bkdbkd is doing a tremendous job! Enjoy your Sunday!

I have been thinking very similarly since joining Steemit in December. There is something truly special on Steemit that I NEVER found on any other social networking platform. I was welcomed with open arms upon coming here and have had nothing but awesome support.

It’s pretty amazing to be able to login and find unbelievably talented people of all shapes and sizes posting their quality work here. I’m an super thankful that I stumbled upon Steemit- yeah it was basically by accident haha..

Anyways I’m digressing,
Great post, really felt connected to it

Thank you so much!

Absolutely! Thanks for putting out quality content!!

Yes, you are right, every single day you find something amazing an steem. I agree on the esteem app. Can't do without it, by you're app from @blockbrothers is my number 2. I love how easy it is to have exactly the norifications what you want. I think a lot of people forget to add others. You think when you filled in youre name that you are done.. But you can add others. Maybe highlight this feature again..

That's a good idea @rival. I throw it in the group straight away. thanks!

Thx, I always want to help. in case you need some brainstorm session with @blockbrothers let me know and I am always there to help or share idea's. Groeten, Ron

yes and its more good that steem team working good and work hard to make it more valuable and truely include more things and i also like your work with your team for this blockcahin @exlye
and also the good-karma work for esteem ios and some new updates is more good and really i dont see any blockchain where teams are working hard daily and give newest features and updates to thier blockchains

People who stay on steem even when steem is going through bad times are people who see future of how social media should work and try their best to make it work.

Exactly! Leaving Steem in bad times would also make those bad times even worse. So the question is: Are people leaving because of bad times, or are the bad times bad because people are leaving?

Yeah, totaly agree!

Certainly steem has the best community, people might dont agree on certain things and there is a lot of discussions here, but thats because everyone is trying to do what they think is the best for the community!

It's everyone steemian's dream to see that steemit becomes better and more interesting place

Nice works those guys are doing out there thanks to you @exyle for letting us know that we can actually do something to improve the blockchain.

yes , you are right, one should give back to the community

The wonderful world ofblockchain. blockchsin is so much more than money. Like i tell everyonr i know.

Steemit is a totally different from other social media, blogspot, and cryptocurrency. Unlimited potential inside Steemit. The community is having increasing confidence day by day, soon, it will be the Year of Steem

I like the new eSteem app icon :)

First off thanks to @good-karma for launching a great app esteem which is working perfectly.
I'm totally agree with you @exyle that steem blockchain is the best in the world so far. People from everywhere telling other to join it. Lot of poor and needy people have become rich. Mostly people have left their jobs and doing steemit. I'm witnessed that everyday people are launching some new app, system for the betterment of community. No doubt we are connected on a platform which is most beautiful and comfortable for all of us.
Stay Blessed man and keep posting great stuff!

We have such a wonderful community.

I know this comment is kind of late, so you may not see it, but steemit is very unique. It is one of the few coins that has a Technology and a use that is actually USED. Many coins have a platform that can be used, but the platform is not used. Nobody uses the other platforms. Steemit is a finished product. The technology is finished the platform is finished. It is ready to use. Many other coins don’t have this. And if they do, like I said it’s not used. Even many of the major coins don’t see uses with their technology, its just pure speculation. Steem is not speculation at all. And everybody here knows that and knows how the Steemit platform is the best platform out there. We all know steem is very undervalued at the moment since it is able to process the most transactions per day, and this is proven each and every day. We all know steem is great. So we try to spread it to others, hoping it catches on. With more youtubers trying out dtube and talking about steem, the Steemit Blockchain will grow exponentially, I’m glad i beat the huge the crowd that will be coming. But even still we all need to do our part and expose this platform to others. I LOVE STEEMIT. And I think everybody here does too

I love you in your post pods. I thank you very much for sharing with us. I hope you share this kind of good post in the future with us and give us a chance for poders

This post is very goodly done..And this story is very nice..I think you are great creator of steemit..Best of luck..I will wait for new post...😃😃😎

This is the beauty of the steem.com that it is always win-win battle no harm or lost in it. So, everyone is trying their level best to promote it. Hats off to you for the great efforts.

Yes , i am going to check esteem for sure.

There's no better place than a place where your opinion counts...

You speak some true words. Keep up with out Vlogs.

Thank you will be trying esteem out
