RE: A Steemit Brochure Created By Us! Competition #1 - DESIGN A FRONT COVER - 10-STEEM PRIZE!!!
Hi @article61, your title mentions the word 'Steemit'. I'm sure you are aware that steemit.com is one of many (and is by no means the most aesthetic) User Interfaces with which to access the Steem Blockchain. There is already much confusion about the perception of steemit.com (and Steemit Inc) as the blockchain itself, when this is not the case.
Am currently listening to the discussion you are having with @pennsif, and you seem to be reconsidering your strategy with this competition anyway. I'd quite strongly suggest changing the emphasis from 'steemit' to something like the 'Steem Blockchain'.
Cheers
Hi @barge. Thanks for the input and I appreciate your points. However, the original way to enter this domain is titled "steemit", as is the sign-up page. I'm aiming this brochure at folk who may have never heard of block-chains or cryptos so I really don't want to frighten folk off with the sound of jargon and crypto-talk. In my previous posts I have mentioned that there will be a competition ran for the best description of steemit and the way it all works. Hopefully, this part of the brochure will address the points you have brought up. As for the front cover and the title I would prefer to keep things simple and the name Steemit fits that bill, imo. As for reconsidering the structure of this project, I have decided to go ahead with the competitions for now. It's still early days yet so i'll see how things go and try to be as flexible as possible.
Thanks again for the input and I hope you'll consider doing a write-up for describing steemit when the time comes.
No worries, it's your comp and how you choose to play it. Respect to that!
For me, it goes against the 'decentralisation' aspect/notion/perception of the Steem blockchain to represent (however well intentioned) steemit (.com or Inc) as the Steem entity itself.
No more to say, but, I'm sure you'll understand, I won't write about 'steemit' :).
Regards.
It's all good mate and if I understood the politics of it all a little better I would probably be thinking likewise. Nevertheless, I hope the end result will bring in new punters and I'm sure most will be wise enough to choose a solid path. It's a shame you won't be offering a write up as it seems you have a good scope on things. Big respect to you too.
