Topic: Someone please make a steem clone - page 14. (Read 14354 times)

If you guys think that any steem user(whale or not) is going to read and get through thousands of posts and vote everything that is good, I think you got it wrong. Noone is going to spend this amount of time for that, some posts/threads are lucky, some others are not. This fair/unfair "debate" all the time makes me to puke.

If someone writes only occasionaly then he has to be somewhat lucky in order to  earn some rewards, on the other hand if someone writes good content all the time, no matter how lucky/unlucky he is short term, he will earn some reputation and people will follow him. "Follow" fuctionallity might not work right now but will in the future and that's what will save the day, followers! Btw if you think that people who earn today a lot rewards will continue to do so in the future I think that you got this wrong too. So please stop whining about "fairness" because "fairness" is what will be used by numerous s#!t clones in the near future to empty your pockets. If you think that there aren't "forces" that already devising plans on how to seperate fools and their money you are wrong!   

Sorry but I am too lazy to research what the flaws of Steem that has been discussed in the forum. Will you please list them here? It does not have to be long. I just want to know the gist of it. Thank you.

It's not about good writing (most people rarely even understand great writing, so intimidating noobs away is hardly a good idea--see Nietzsche). What you want is fun posts that invite people in and get them thinking, "I can do that?" You also want post that further implant the meme of cryptocurrencies into the social consciousness (see gateway drugs), and you want established players in content creation to prove that the platform works. And finally, you want to represent different clicks of ethnic, social, and cultural backgrounds.  

*a few BOOBS don't hurt either.

As far as the whale factor--you're going to see lag. What's important is that the big markets get addressed, not that quality content is rewarded, that will be addressed by sub-communities who will be better arbiters of what is good for the community and what is quality--see poetry section (a poem that used a double "that" final end-rhyme got the highest payout of $2,700, a reputable poetry forum wouldn't let that happen--but that takes time.). If you look at the financial and cryptocurrency sections, you'll see that the quality, for the most part, is superior than the other sections, mostly because we have a community already established in cc and hundreds of articles waiting to be discovered by people outside our community.

could you explain to us? because i dont see it... right now a few whales control the platform and generally they only upvote sh*t post(i'm not saying one o mine should be upvoted, i'm saying i've saw good writers there getting 50+ upvotes but only a few bucks for that, and other posts, with less than 10 upvotes being paid 1000USD+)

one vote from ned and you get 1500+ SBD. that doesnt make sense to me.

 Steem just opened up a successful front that entices people to open up their first CC account, and you're like, "Hey, that's working! Let's try to minimize its effectiveness with another project, but this time we'll make it extra decentralized so varying factions can quibble on the most effective means to spend their marketing budget (or not spend any of it with chants of "HODL!")".

It took me awhile to see why steem's distribution makes sense (or more sense), but when I did  

I am already coding it. Well let's say coding in my head but about to actually start writing down code.

And it won't be a clone. It (probably) won't use any of their code (but I reserve the right to change my mind and base it off of Graphene).

It will be very different, except in the ways in which Steem is working, it will be the same.

I need ideas for a name?

You can read my recent posts if you want to have some ideas about what I am changing.

Others are also working on clones, and I have spoken to one of them, but we have not yet decided to work together.

It will be a fairer launch also.

I have no idea yet how soon this might be ready. And I can't promise you I'll make it all the way to launch. Perspectives can change along the way.

I don't think that just cloning a coin is good idea. Simple clone would never be as popular as original design.
What you want to is introduce EEE doctrine. Which means - embrace, extend, and exterminate.
This is known strategy Microsoft uses as main way to conquer the market; they first copy existing idea, hone it to the perfection and then you can kill original idea and control and monopolize this idea.

That's a very good idea. Making one and branding it as a new Instagram would make it huge!

I would prefer one based more on pictures and videos, like Instagram, instead of long winded justifications and rants.

I hate clones, so I never thought I'd say this: Please make a Steem clone

Despite it's obvious flaws, Steem has shown us how we can get Joe and Jane into crypto. Steem will fail of course for reasons discussed in other threads, but a clone that fixes the issues could become a huge success. I would certainly throw a few btc at it if it had a dev with good reputation.
