The project looks very promising.
I would like get back to blogging on the the Steem blockchain but prefer to create own blog under own domain, exactly what Engrave offers and i'm ready to try it out.
However two things that i am missing and that would make it perfect for our blog are:
- Have the option to choose an Engrave instance hosted in Europe. I don't mind sharing a higher commission for that.
- A template or option to disable the whole money/token/$ aspect from the blog, which only disincentives many of our visitors and content creators. Number of votes, likes or views is more then enough on our blog.
PS. Engrave blogs have 2018 is the copyright footer.
Ad.1) Is this because of the latency? Actually, we have our servers located in the USA but it might change if we scale the project worldwide.
Ad.2) This is the thing we consider for a long time. Direct money incentive is great if it's high enough, but if it's low, it does exactly the opposite. Showing net votes or STU might be much better because it is coin-price independent.
We may start with an appropriate theme, this is a good idea.
Thanks, fixed :)
Thank you for the answers.
Mainly, yes. Members of our project are in Sweden and visitors to our blog, no reason to route the traffic via US. As bonus this would reduce the tracking a tiny bit. I guess most users of Steem are in US, but hosting an instance in EU could be another good "seeling" point of Engrave for users in EU.
Is it possible to edit the existing Engrave themes as a user or create own?
