RE: Thoughts on HF 20 "Velocity"- Yes to tokens, but no to mining.

in #hf207 years ago

a big issue with users new to steemit is the huge learning curve. Even to someone who is familiar with crypto its a tough learning curve.

Sort:  

I agree, I came in knowing nothing about crypto and I still am learning new things every day a month later

The damage has been done. I warned Steemit Inc. early on about exploits in the signup system. Already at least 2 million Steem has been stolen from the system from fraudulent signups by just a handful of people. But glad to see someone paying attention to it now either way. I guess it's no different than when Abit raped the internal market maker rewards for millions of Steem. It won't ruin the platform.

Problems arise when we have too much faith in humanity :(
I've signed my brother up twice. The first time did not work out. I'm still waiting for a response for the second attempt. Nothing so far :(
Mine took a week. When I did not hear back, I had to ask a friend for help. The waiting sucks... lol

I agree and I studied math...! What about invitations? Sort of like an MLM strategy, you invite new users and if they add quality content then you get a piece of the pie for the first say 3 posts?

I also agree

Yeah but it will one day be SUPER user friendly, like easier than Instagram easy...

It already IS the MOST easy crypto currency to use EVER! NO bitcoin or ethereum wallet can let u just send and recieve Money to a username like this! No complicated crazy long address to send to! just a imple usernme! were the only blocclchainaltcpins with that! were more advanced and more efficient than bitcoon!

once we have Bitcoinnd ethereum in our Internal SBD/Steem market the game will be over and steemit will sart eating the llunh of poloniex and bittrex and we will have a amazing advantage!

we will attract alls orts of users who want a simple easy to use wallet wth Al their coins! imagine being able to keep ur bitcoinss ethereum ec20 and any tokens here in your steemit wallet! we will even have EOS and openledger.io (aka bitshares) integration, its gonna be so easyto use crypto currency soon all with steemit

we are ALL SO lucky to get to use steemit! I have beentelling peopel for a while now that eventualy youll be able to have Bitcoins and ethereum in your steemit wallet and u wont nee poloniex anymore or bittrex or evencoinbase we wil also have ourown fiat gateway! u will ahve nt oly steem ATMs in every big city bt a Steemit Debit card that even takes out a lil bit of money for taxes etc, it will be perfect! it will be so streamlineed

STREAMit will be ore like it!

STREAMLINED steemit is coming! Imagine HF30!

Perhaps you give the Steemit community an estimation when all these great things will be completed

hahaha yes I wish i could! But I have been talking about that for a while! I have been asking for more coins in our interal market but I am just HOPING that they add this feature in the new updates! i canttell u whenit will happen but Im hoping its soon!
I need a personal trainer to teach me web development and i need a personl yeller to yelll at me to make more steemit posts and work harder eveyday!

Im going to try and wake up tomorrow and start a very dense Steemit post all about a Steemit Video advertisement i will outline and storybaord and then ill mke it and then ill release it using teh steem i make from rewards on the outline, to pay for its youube advertissing money, iw ill pay to ave the video seen! and it will drive more sersto steemit thus helping us all and i will try to cut out a little paycheck for yself to simply make ads for steemit like jerrybanfield does the more the better!

if a few thousands of us just marketed for steemit.com every day all day for a few months, g etting people jining the steem blockchain, we would get 10 mllion users by the end of the year! we all need to work super hatd everyday and just FLOOD the internet with steemit ads! and steemit social media posts! wmust show off how much we make off our posts and comments! we can get MASSIVE traffic and MASSIVE userbaseon steemit!

Loving the enthusiasm, upvoted and followed! I've made some business cards to put on counters, hand out to people, put under wipers, put on the grocery store billboards, etc: https://steemit.com/steemit/@libertyteeth/business-cards-for-steemit-to-increase-participation

I agree with you -- marketing is the way! (And my history is as a developer, who'd a thunk. :) )

The devs are trying to solve a problem while not taking into consideration the difficulty new users will face during account creation. Its already a difficult annoying process for the new users . Now they are introducing mining. While I appreciate their effort; they seem to think everyone is as tech savy as they are. No!

I myself suggested some features for steemit developers to include in the coming updates, but my article did not got much attention and i am afraid that the developers will not found that @aggroed

this is a very big issue, the learning curve. I am a minnow and not familiar with crypto, and boy is it confusing
