Thanks for the update @blueorgy, I use steemimg all the time and I even gave it a mention in todays post :)
I'm really excited at the idea of making this a hybrid ipfs service and I like the way you're going about monetization but I have some possible ideas there too:
- Create a "steemimg" steemit account
- Compile regular weekly "best of" reports based on your traffic/bandwidth stats that highlight the authors and posts that created them (think referer log cross-referenced with votes on the blockchain).
- People can then easily support with votes, whilst also getting useful information and a "best of the week" compilation ordered by what articles/images got the most views
This is exactly what I was going to say. You can even do this from your account using @blueorgy. Perhaps create a hashtag (something like #steemimg or #promotesteemimg) and ask people to tag their posts if their photos are hosted on Steemimg, and if they want a chance to be featured in your daily (or weekly) promotion posts. All proceeds from these types of posts would go directly to supporting Steemimg.com.
Great idea with the hashtag I like it :)
Thanks! :)
Yes very good idea!
Otherwise all of those "best of" ideas etc are awesome and I will look into making this happen, a lot of great images on the site!Well sadly someone beat me to the @steemimg account... If the owner is willing it give it up?
As for ipfs I am working on it and hopefully will have it be a true hybrid soon.
Ps. Seems @weibochina may be the owner of that account.
Aha you beat me to it I was just about to say that.. Damn.
Glad you like the ideas, I think it would be an interesting experiment at the very least - and a monetization model none of your competitors are able to do :)
One good thing is that posts don't last very long on steemitThis could be an idea especially when sadly mentioned by @blueorgy:
