Strong words, and well said. The bad things that are happening all mean that you’re becoming more and more successful. With success comes the scammers, the plagiarizers, and the beggars.
That’s unfortunately the world we live in and isn’t specific to Steem. Just keep doing what you’re doing and, like you said, you will win.
You said it perfectly. Just keep on working hard and you will come out on top. There will always be scammers and spammers, just need to spot them and eliminate them as they pop up
This is literally the best project that has ever come to Steem. If you harass @elear or Utopian, you are harassing people and projects aiming to make Steem and the world much better.
If that feels good to you, I don't know what kind of person you are. Just stop.
We have a real chance with attracting the entire open-source community and possibly the entire developer community to the Steem blockchain with this project. Please just let Utopian be.
Trolls are those who have been trolled, only responding in love can show a troll how not to be a troll. One ☝️ who is shown only hate can only make hate. ❤️🌀 love is contagious !(let love shine light into the darkness)! Only love can turn a heart of darkness into that of lighfullness.
An incredibly minor issue but it is an absolute pet peeve of mine when people use the word "loose" when they mean "lose", might want to correct a few of your typos :)
I'm sure you have pet peeves as well. Its a peeve, a minor thing as I pointed out. I make no judgement on the persons character and I don't even give a damn about other spelling and grammar, it just so happens that particular typo seems to annoy me.
I'd say to save your gear grinding for something a little more significant but that was the whole point of this, everyone is allowed little things that bother them :)
so.. no problem if I use your name to scam people... as long as I don't loose my cool?
actually it bothers me more that 5 people collectivly decided to make this in the top 3 most visible comments on the thread... as if you made some really significant contribution to the discussion. which I was actually able to remedy by upvoting flauy, as opposed to downvoting you.
anyways... you've got social proof on your side.. so.. I'm probably irritated more about a dozen other things going on... whatevs. namaste
Seeing as how most of my time on Steemit is spent dealing with plagiarists and scammers I obviously have an issue with that as well. Though to be consistent, I would also note the annoying spelling, can't be a hypocrite, right?
I think that Utopian will lead the Steem development into new dimensions. So much developing potential will stream into our arms thanks to this brave new platform. ALL other Steem projects will profit from that and hence the community will get more and better software at a higher pace.
Even people like me who "just" create videos can now contribute and earn big. I am planning to put at least half of my engagement towars Utopian projects. Before I started to question my path here and whether my contributions make any difference to the world. Now I KNOW that they do. Helping with an Open Source project is one of the greatest ethical works one could do to benefit mankind.
Everybody really likes a piece of the pie. Just keep in mind our long-term investments. We should all keep contributing every day and be patient in waiting for rewards.
We actively search for and disable impostor accounts on steemit.chat, and Steem-based account verification is in the works. We can't get to every account immediately and unfortunately some people fall for it.
I am really hoping your project goes up @elear. One of the things that I would really love to promote is actually that same methodology that everyone should and can be valued for their open source contributions.
And when you start the same conversation within or coupling with the business world... then things change a lot! But when it's based on institutes, universities, or research organisms... this makes sense too! And completely destroys monopolisms and closed thinking ways.
I am not a developer, but I can tell, this would be something teasing my appetite to contribute. Not because I wanna live from it, but because I could use it as proof of what a good cause is.
I reported no less than 3 DISTINCT instances just yesterday of people stealing your posts and claiming them as their own. Patrice is on top of it with steemcleaners now, but shit, three in a row bro, in a matter of hours, and different posts of yours. I tagged you on them. I assume you monitor one of the many mentions tools. I got your back man.
Let's just collaborate collectively from within the Utopian Movement on combatting wrongdoers via scientifically-proven algorithmical quality detection. All devs unite!
disclaimer: I self-upvoted this comment for visibility, since I noticed this blog post just 10 hours after it was published and my comment was at the bottom between some "follow me please"-comments
Hopefully the culprit is punished to serve as a specific deterrent. Perhaps keep an eye on where money from the fraud accounts go, but innocent until proven guilty.
Dear Sir @elear sometimes it is disturbing when you get some bad feedback or sees bad things around you, just close your eyes keep take breathe and ask to your Almighty that if I am on right track I can't surrender and no one can stop you my brother your work and idea is a milestone for the society and it has great potential, you should run a contest or do something to prevent these asshole frauds who are demolishing a great content for just some bucks and also pinned a message at your discord that you and your projects doesn't require any money or donation by general Steemians and as you describe that they are asking by message and comment it should be down votes and make their account worthless as soon as possible by the supporters of your project and I think we should unite for this to track these type of scroundle and try to punish them and spread awareness regarding this.
In the last but not the least don't be so sad or panic as we all knew it that you are a man of Steel with great soul and strong will power.
God bless you and utopia.
Best wishes.
I love what you are doing and where you are going with utopian-io. Congratz on your hard work and all the effort and money you put into the project.
As for the losers that try to scam us -> there will always be immoral bastards trying to do this and you know it. Only thing we can do is fight them with flags untill they stop.
I am looknig forward to posting more awesome contributionts to Utopian soon. Planing on putting a great deal of work into providing Croatian translations and some suggestions for Steemit and Utopian also.
Utopian and Steemit to the moon!
Btw this image is my own work and if anyone wants to use it feel free to do so!
Have a great day everyone.
Cheers!
I admire the passion you have for your awesome project and the steem blockchain. utopian.io will get my witness vote for sure!
I also hope you will voice your concerns at the Steem Growth Forum as posted by @aggroed. You mentioned in your post things that are negative for the steem blockchain and I hope this forum will have the audience to consider and make changes to few/all of these issues raised.
Keep up your good work! You are truly a gem for this community!
@buildteam and its members stand in solidarity with Utopian, our goals are aligned to build on Steem and create a formidable apps layer which will draw users and guarantee mass adoption.
Utopian in my opinion hhas potential to be bigger than steemit. It targets a specific group of people that can understand easily the concept of the steem blockchain and also are worried aabout the comunity. Dont let a bunch of spammers ruins your day!
it reminds me of the people that are responding to the anti-spam topic posts with : yes, good posts, plis upvot me
but this is just going one step further these are people that do know a bit about how steem works and try to con money out of an up and coming project.
The only thing they seem to forget is that this projects is made up of hundreds of coders (who are also potentially hackers if they use their power for "evil") and what they are doing is the equivalent of pissing on the coders computer
I really do not think this ends well for those people but that is just my view here...
good job @elear on removing their potential power but sad it has to come to this
From the very limited experience that I have, this is natural or should be expected. In everything that is good, there's always evil that impersonates it.
Its crazy as soon as something is successful all the bad comes out of people to try and cheat their way. People really need to learn how to raise their kids to have some respect and morals.
I'm all lined up and ready to vote for @utopian-io witness at greenlight. Love the messege @elear ! This project rocks the boat. I believe in it and will delegate what little I have to move it forward. Steem on!
Hey my friend it's really get to see that you are passionate about utopia and at same time it's not good for you those fake accounts will really cared confusion and I glad that you want to shut them all it's great to see you
Give the shot they were asking. just Shot them down, scammer and all those you want to use anyonr name to get money from the other has just to vanish from this beautiful platform
I figure if we collectively flag those accounts you mentioned (if they have any posts or comments) to negative reputation, it'll be easier to know they are scam shit.
I suggest you register all possible typo username for @elear and @utopian-io. This is same issue with Bittrex, people will send money to typo accounts.
I would encourage anyone that is reading this to support this project. I have been around business long enough to know one thing and that is when someone speaks with the type of purpose as @elear then they do not and will not accept defeat as an option. This will be a success.
"The Big Problems That Will Make This Blockchain Die
People pretend to be someone else to steal money.
Whales sell upvotes. I must be honest. I used them sometimes as well, until I realised how bad this approach is. Thanks God their tokens are losing value every single day.
People comment for being upvoted or followed or resteemed without even reading.
Bots are being created to rape the reward pool.
Big accounts downvote/upvote the hell out of everything effectively owning the blockchain.
Steem is flowing out of the platform, decreasing its value." by Opie (O.P.)
Yes, yes , yes and yes! I hadn't really looked into this but was hearing of it and the more I hear the greater it sounds. The people I tried to bring on here all left because of above mentioned "issues" as well as the same handful dominating everything.....even heavy hitters I know are sick of it, plus your logo is kickass :)
I checked out utopian-io, but I don't see how I can contribute. However, I saw it stated that if someone has an idea requiring crowdfunding, you can help. I don't want anything for myself, but I do want to start something that could turn the world upside down.
My idea is only worth something to those who understand just how poisonous our vacinations have become, since the government provided them with immunity from prosecution.
I see two ways for the problem to be tackled. The second is less effective, but maybe cheaper, with less of the Cabal willing to openly fight it
I would like for a number of good medical researchers to be given a lab for them to develop vaccinations that do what they are supposed to do, as it used to be. None of the poisons and heavy metals to be included.
Second idea is, create mini volunteer get-well centres all over the world, for people to take their children for treatment of damage from the vaccinations. It is already being done (using chelation, for instance). This would need to be free or funded by companies that are big enough to afford it, but not big enough to belong to the Cabal running the present vaccination systems (Bill Gates, Soros, etc). These get-well centres can also help children who are going in for vaccinations by providing them with specific diets, vitamins (non-irradiated) etc. It can help reduce the damage by 40% and higher!
I live in South Africa, I am 74 and a state pensioner, so I really cannot do much more to help. If someone has the get-up and go to start either of these ideas, I will cheer them on as loudly as I can.
:)
PS: I hope someone will think this comment is worth responding to, I'm getting tired of fighting to save children and being ignored by their parents, the teachers, the priests and so on.
Preach it Brother, utopia is going to be B I G. So glad you are calling people out. I agree with everything you stated and am going to delegate even more SP to the cause. Count me in as a believer!!!🐓
I support you in your initiative, and I hope you succeed in your efforts. I'm not sure this is the right forum to express my views, but here goes.
You cannot have an open membership policy, and still have a community. There must be a more rigorous whetting process in place before you allow new members to join the community.
Allow community members to flag spams, explicit content etc so that community policing is enforced. But don't incentivize members to do the policing. That could be counterproductive.
Disable self promotion. It works counter productive to your meritocratic goals. On the contrary, Steemit team can promote posts which they think is worthy of being promoted.
Take strict actions against copy right violations. Disable accounts of members who do not comply.
The list is certainly not exhaustive. Others can add more points if they wish to. In my view, if the following steps are taken, I think you'll be able to achieve the goals that you've set for yourself.
This has been happening for a while now on steemit.chat. people making fake accounts of large users pretending to sell votes. Be proud that you are big enough for these jerks to impersonate at least?
good to find you here. I have one question: can I just continue as I do? I like it here & wouldn't want to have done all my effort just to find myself being somehow left as .... the last steemit user? Thanks in advance, I know you're nice and will probably answer me:)
crypto has hype and fades.. so with each bad story, lessons are learnt and people move on.. the amount of times i have forgotten about a story.
What i mean is, i will gamble that the people will keep producing add ons to steemit and as such there will always be a regular stream of people utilising its services which will have a knock on effect into the price and demand for SBD..
I will be here holding the mantle as last steamer with u pal.. Am in no hurry to leave this realm.... keep the faith hamburger! :} cnts :}

An incredibly minor issue but it is an absolute pet peeve of mine when people use the word "loose" when they mean "lose", might want to correct a few of your typos :)
I don't think he used 'loose' in the post... or maybe it was already corrected? :)
nope, he was just very quick about correcting it
Corrected. Thanks for the tip @fingolfin
@elear's always very fast with these things 😀
You know what really grinds my gears? People who ignore the value of the person and the message, and nitpick some insignificant spelling error
I'm sure you have pet peeves as well. Its a peeve, a minor thing as I pointed out. I make no judgement on the persons character and I don't even give a damn about other spelling and grammar, it just so happens that particular typo seems to annoy me.

Steemy approves!
100 percent correct brother @flauwy ... utopian is a friend to all :}
I like your style! ^^ delegate 1k SP to Utopia now... as a start.

I support your view @elear .
Given your background as an engineer I can't help but wonder how are you going to go about this problem ?
Why would anyone satisfy this kind of request is a little bit out of my reach though.. Why would anyone give you money when you're asking ?
I reported no less than 3 DISTINCT instances just yesterday of people stealing your posts and claiming them as their own.

I think the word is solidarity?
Well spotted!
Unfortunately, this is life. Big fish, big target. But you are doing it right, thats why people wanna be like you. Be the best you, you can be.
very strong words @elear just a dreamer would say that and just a dreamer will understand that
Utopian in my opinion hhas potential to be bigger than steemit. It targets a specific group of people that can understand easily the concept of the steem blockchain and also are worried aabout the comunity. Dont let a bunch of spammers ruins your day!

Its crazy as soon as something is successful all the bad comes out of people to try and cheat their way. People really need to learn how to raise their kids to have some respect and morals.
Literally the most selfless act I've seen in the entire Steemit history. I commend you @elear. Such actions are truly inspiring.
I'm all lined up and ready to vote for @utopian-io witness at greenlight. Love the messege @elear ! This project rocks the boat. I believe in it and will delegate what little I have to move it forward. Steem on!
Open Source is the future and the present.
A utopian-io witness has my vote.
I will delegate more SP as I get it.
