A New Steem Interface That Gives Additional Rewards For Your Interactions

in #steem6 years ago

Hello All Steemians!
Hope you are enjoying your journey on Steem and also earning the share of Reward Pool you rightfully deserve. But are you looking for something more?

There is a good news for you. A new Steem interface went live today and it offers a hell lot of additional bounties on putting relevant comments on any of the posts listed there. The website is called Steem Bounty.

What’s Steem Bounty?


If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you may have earned some bounty on your comments here. Those bounties were offered to you with the help of Steem Bounty project. Now this platform has its own website where you can easily find all the bounties listed according to tags.

Once an author sets some bounty (of whatever amount) on her post, that bounty is bound to be distributed among the commenters on that post at the time of post pay out. The share of the bounty to each parent-comment is decided by the author as well as community (according to the votes on comments). 80% of the bounty is on the discretion (upvote weight) of the author but remaining 20% totally depends on community upvotes. All this calculation is done automatically by the Steem Bounty software at the time of post payout and payment is sent instantaneously. Isn’t it interesting?

An opportunity for Bounty hunters


So if you are looking for bounties, you just need to visit Steem bounty website and log into it with the help of SteemConnect. It’s the safest way available to login to a 3rd party dApp without sharing your posting keys directly with them.

Once you log in, you can browse several bounty posts listed there. These are categorized under Biggest Bounties, Latest Bounties and Expiring Bounties.

On the right side-bar, there is a search feature according to categories / tags. It’s better to use search box because if you use “VIEW ALL” feature and click some category at the bottom of the list, you won’t be able to see any listing until you scroll the page all the way up.

Keep in mind that this website is currently in beta and its interface will get an uplift plus many more features will get added with time.The current interface is completely functional and mobile friendly too.

You can comment, vote and even create a post using this platform. So you won’t need to switch to any other platform if you can find enough bounties and posts of your interest here. Keep browsing, commenting and earning bounties in addition to curating content. In case you want to view a post on Steemit or Busy, an option to switch to it is also provided.

Why do an author pays to set up a bounty?


There could be several reasons for setting up a Steem bounty:

Contest Organizers


If you are holding a contest where contestants need to comment on your contest post, you can just give your upvote to the deserving comments and the bounty sum will automatically sent to those contestants. Essentially, this automatizes the reward sending job to winners.

When I used to hold crossword contests with Whaleshares in prizes, it was a pain to collect OL / Bitshares ID of all winning entries and then send them Whaleshares, taking all the precautions to not to enter a wrong address ...else I’d make a loss! Automatizing prize distribution through Steem Bounty takes care of this unnecessary step for the contest organizers.

Looking for some answer, advice, feedback or help?


Steem Bounty can come to your help . If you are seriously looking for some answers, feedback, advice or help and are willing to give out something in return of a valuable feedback, Steem Bounty is for you. When you set up a Steem Bounty, it gets promoted through its website and is exposed to several bounty hunters who will land on your post. So this increases the probability of getting what you are looking for.

Blog interactions and followers


If you are only looking to increase interaction on your blog post, you can also set up a Steem Bounty for this purpose. Steem Bounty promotes all bounty posts on its website and bounty seekers can easily find the content they are interested in. Thus people who are interested in your blog will leave their feedback on your post. They may also check your other posts and if that interests them, they would like to follow your blog. Thus it helps increasing your blog followers too.

So it’s a great way to get exposure through setting up some bounties, a win-win for everyone.

Setting up a bounty


Setting up a bounty is very easy. If you are creating your post using the editor in the Steem Bounty platform, then before you click the post button, you will find a text box where you can set the bounty amount. That’s it and you are done. The second method is to send a transfer to @steem-bounty account with your post URL as the memo. That’s it!

I have used Steem Bounty a few times now during its trial run and I was not disappointed. Now that its website is up, I hope it will deliver even better results. I recommend everyone to check and use this platform at least once.

This service is brought to you by a Steem Witness. If you want to give your support, you can vote "steem-bounty" account as your witness.

I am also a fan of steem-bounty, have tested it out on a recent post and it works well, sparks some extra engagement which is great. One of the only problems I have found is that you will get a bunch of free loaders or comment teams come to your post and leave comments without even giving an upvote to your post, and then they all upvote each other to claim higher bounty payouts. Maybe this is something @knircky can address in the future. All in all though, its solid and looking forward to using it again in the future.

We have adressed this with the possibility of downvote. You can downvote someone with less than 1% of your vote and he will get 0 rewards.

Do u have other ideas how this should get adressed?

Nice, I didn't know that was a feature, good to know. Something else would just be putting it in the post to urge users to upvote posts, not just comment. I know its basic but maybe it would work. I don't like having to downvote people, would rather they just smarten up and at least give an upvote to a post where the user is trying to benefit the community

This is a great initiative my friend. I got bounty shares some occasions for commenting on your post. Steem bounty service is already so exciting and the news of launching of their website is absolutely phenomenal. I hope community will get a lot of benefits from this site.

Yes, this service is a great idea in itself.

Cant manage to get in. It isnt accepting any of my key.

I just checked back and noticed that SteemConnect is asks for "Active Key". I hope you will be able to login with these keys.

None of my keys is accepted for login.

Not even your Owner Key? It's very strange!
I hope you are not using your public keys and inserting private keys only.
If it's working for logging into Steemit, it must work in SteemConnect too.

Nah, I was trying with my Master key. And then I tried with all of my keys. None is working for me.

I don't see any reason for Master Key not working!
Try after some break ..may be tomorrow or better still, put your complaint in Busy's Discord. They may know the problem better.

So when u use steem-connect u cant log in?

That is odd. I have tried this with several accounts and working well for me.

You need to use the active key when u log on.

Get in touch with us via the telegram channel and Ill try to get some of our developers to look into it

this thing is really acceptable..every kind of people will be very thankful for your this post..
again thanks bro..
keep going.

It went live today ?

but I have been a bounty hunter for weekd

Yes, you're right; during the trial run bounties were being listed in the blog posts of @steem-bounty. Now you don't need to hunt bounties on its account or through steem-bounty tags on Steemit or Busy platforms, now they have got their own platform, which makes hunting easier 😊

i used to look at @steem-bounty comments ;D

and it is still the easiest way

Really great idea and nicely described

Finally I got a clear explanation about it even though I got rewards several times. Thanks for sharing!
