RE: Are Blockchains Really Censorship Resistant?
Still no possibility of uploading image directly?
Of course we do not want to store images in blockchain right now (because of disk space reasons), so it would have to be stored on Steemit's servers, but new users very often do not know how to upload images to steemit with 3rd party services.
Avarage Joe do not know services like http://imgsafe.org/ or https://ipfs.pics/ and do not know how to use them. Steemit has to be more user-friendly.
That new user was me. Guess how long it took me to learn Markdown for image hosting on my first Steemit post....
1 hour.
most normal people would have given up after 20 minutes.
most likely after 2 minutes ;)
yeah, you're right. most people are so accustomed to spoon-fed tech that anything difficult will be cast aside. Steemit really needs to be Applefied. Designers and artists, well, they know how to cater to people's emotions. Personally, I feel that the technology needs to follow the designer's plans because designers understand normal people. Steve Jobs knew this and made technology sexy. Steemit needs to be sexified.
Soon.
This is the best comment I have read in a while. So excited to have this feature. I have recruited 7 friends/family to the site so far and adding pictures has been a major hurdle for them. Second to backing up their login correctly, but that I do not mind.
what if... steemit would provide a QR-like code for exporting keys/password?
Then user could use smartphone to export (or backup) key and at the same time, it would be very easy for applications like eSteem to import those keeys:
Password/Private key:
Public Key:
In the end it would still come down to their backup method and the level of security on their part.
In Litecoin its 2 weeks :))))))
what about instant messaging, is that going to be a feature on Steemit at any time in the future? i think this will really help with user friendliness, if it's done right.
It is something I want as well and something that will eventually show up. It is just low on the priority list at the moment.
OK. Thank you.
You forgot to mention steemimg.com :-)
