Over the next month or so we will be creating about 70 Guides for BLURT with variations of the same guides for Steemit and HIVE, during this time we will be making several Announcements on Bitcointalk.

How to Post on BLURT

Topic: Steemit and STEEM are not Dead (Read 507 times)
I am going to go through a few concepts here so everyone can understand and have the information to share.
Steemit is like Reddit with upvoting that then correlates to payments off the Blockchain, no Tips or Lottery, etc, you get paid based on the upvoting Algorithms.
So,
In order to get the best rewards, you need to have lots of STEEM in your Wallet (this is also exactly how HIVE and BLURT work) the more STEEM you have the more your Vote is worth, and when you Vote you actually earn like 10%-50% of your vote into your Wallet, so as you Vote to give other people money you get a return. Then you also get paid based on Votes you receive, based on what is in the Wallets of those voting for your posts.
You can boost this by creating a group, or a DTube Clone Scot Bot, so people will be posting and Voting in a place hosted by you, and using Tokens that benefit you and them, you can also talk about your Token to those people on Steemit.
Then, you can Join Curation Trails on SteemAuto, SteemAuto is a Bot where you enter in your password, then click to allow it to collect your rewards so that any STEEM you earn goes in your wallet, this way your STEEM Power goes up without you having to pay attention.
SteemAuto also allows you to set up a Curation Trail, first start by setting your Minimum Vote Power to 80 or 90 so you don't lose your voting power down to 0% as the Bot runs your account, if your Vote Power goes to 50% or 25%, your Rewards for yourself and the receiver of the Vote go down that amount also. You Join a Curation Trail, and set it to be like 15-45 minutes late after the Trail Leader (Primary Voter? I'm not sure what the word is), part of the Algorithm is that your Vote is worth more after a certain time and after a number of awards have already accumulated.
You can follow more than 1, and you are better off with the 80-90% limit.
You then can also create a Curation Trail, invite other people to follow and they will follow you. This is better with an account with a high vote Weight, because the more your vote is worth, the better it is for people to Vote after you.
There is also then the Dr. Otto Bot, which you put on an account but it is more complex as you have to Clone it from Github and run a script. But it is a Bid Bot, so people send 0.001 or 0.01 STEEM and they are then part of a Lottery where they might get a Vote, and it chooses every 3 minutes, so unless there is a lot of people using it everyone can get a Vote.
This works best with an account that has lots of STEEM.
There also used to be an Algorithm Bot with sliders for you to set the values yourself, and you would say what Percentile of Awards you Vote on. So if a post has like less earnings that 60% of posts, your bot wouldn't vote, it votes on the top 40 Percentile, or maybe 30 or 10 Percentile, then a Timer, maybe it only votes on posts for 24 or 48 hrs, because after that the Voting Algorithm lowers. But that bot does not work anymore, or moved to HIVE.
Then were was a bot Voting on Comments, I forget what he was called but he ended up being very valuable to everyone.
And you may wonder, "Why is it hard to earn a good amount of STEEM?" or "Why has STEEM price been so low for so long until recently?", once there is a big flourishing community of well funded Bots and Curation Trails, like even 5-10% of Twitter or Facebook numbers, it would be a more valuable community than Bitcoin. The HIVE split after Justin Sun bought Steemit, lowered the numbers to today's.

There was a post that paid out $30,000 on Steemit before, and $1,000 was common at one point.
Once the price goes up, you will start seeing that again. Do Press Releases about the price when it goes up, to U.S. and European/Arabian media.
Here is a Guide

I get it, I get that people think there is a chance it could survive, I really do, but it is not about what steemit and the team does or the public does, it is about what the community thinks it worths and thats why I think it is "done" even if not dead. People do not think that it should worth something, and thats why they stopped caring about the price, they have decided to not buy it any longer and that is why price dropped and thats why it is nowhere near the levels it used to be in marketcap, even during a bull run.
I do get that it could be growing, publishing and making money from it is a dream come true for everyone, think about medium but for crypto, we are seeing today many defi companies are trying to publish their work on medium, we see pancake sharing countless posts a day, yet nobody picks steemit, why? Because it is no longer popular anymore.

I know is a bit off topic but I wonder how does now Hive.blog and Steemit compare considering active users? It is about a year after split. So there should already be a nice picture painted.
I cannot say anymore about Steemit to be honest,,, I gave up on it a long time ago and I know after Justin Sun bought it more people who were active moved and went to Hive. I still like blogging but now I stopped doing it personally. Steemit was always going to reward people who were active and in a small group of voters, real original content never gets attention if you are not some girl posting pretty pictures for people to upvote;)
You're absolutely right.You can't make money on the original content there.Only if you write an article for some project to participate in the bounty, and there is no desire to write or post some nonsense.

If you look at the BLURT Social Graph project, they intend to do Turnkey Graphene Website Blockchain production, so everyone can pick a moment on the BLURT chain when the people around them have lots of BLURT, and when it is forked everyone would have that amount on the new chain.
So then websites all over the internet can use the same method as steemit. Then the concept will grow, if not because of the STEEM/TRX wallet merge.

steem is not dead yet but we are close to,on the steemit platform by now the gains are minimal it is not worth it anymore to waste time if they do not invent something soon they will go into oblivion both forum and altcoin
This platform has no users and so many steem users already migrated to the new platforms. Even with a lot of incentive and that doesn't make steem to be alive anymore. People are choosing based on what makes them feel confident with it. After the acquisition by TRON and steem was not performing so well. It gives no impact to the steem platform along with the bittorrent platforms.
The projects managed by tron became crap projects.
This is one of the coins that fails to break its all-time high now that we are in the bull run, I used to be active here and earned some Steem, this is one first article writing sites that breaks in the market and gives a lot of incentives to writters, but now many people are migrating to other platforms like Publish0x, something should be done to attract more writers and investors, although the volume is still there, they should keep up and introduce new innovations.
Indeed, wayback the rewards is very competitive if you are a writer, you can published and earned though there's still some but for writers who understand the value of their works,
It's no longer profitable and they are now switch to other platforms who can prvide the value that they are looking,
there's still crypto peps who manage to work inside this asset trying to still getting some profits and still believing
that there's still chance for this coin to pump back.

Bitcoin will go down and coins like STEEM will go up. Right now it is already bottlenecking, look at prices yo transfer bitcoins right now, its not even affordable to send like $5.00 in BTC, and that calls for Micropayments.
Micropayment currencies just mean you can send less easily, and STEEM is a perfect example of a currency that could brand itself as a Micropayment system. Technically, Steemit could have an app and did before, and the Wallet could be functionalized in an app to work like Venmo or Cash app, so people can easily find each other and send money. They could maybe increase usability by adding TRC Tokens.
But even without the wallet app, or any rebranding, people are going to bring money into Steemit, when they bought BTCs for $1,000 and sold them for $55,000. So there will be money going into Steemit, and many alts, after BTC starts to go down. It has never had a bull run like this, but it is not meant to, and this is just a result of Global Adoption and Acceptance by Governments, IMF, etc. It will die down, or something will be the new Ethereum and people will split investment, or a new Apple will emerge that people want to invest in and they could even have a Currency. Websites could all copy Steemit, all game Tokens could be crypto, and you could earn for spending time on any website. Any corporation, Political Party, School, Church, Temple, Restaurant, City, State or Department, could all launch currencies and people would be like Bitcoin, "Who dat?".

PUTI is coming to life
In a few weeks it should be a stable price, once everyone starts to see it. PUTI was created in Nov/Dec, so it has been being distributed to Steemit users since then.
So until the past few days it was just a blank empty value in the wallet, and as of the moment of this being written, they are over a penny.
And we now have enough Soap making materials to fill up a pallet of finished Soap, stacked up high, so Soap for Crypto coming soon.
These Specs set PUTI up to be very valuable soon.

These Specs set PUTI up to be very valuable soon.
Because of where are a positioned in the market in terms of being on Steem-Engine and TRON, we will soon be able to say things like "Break into DeFi with Punic Currencies" and it will just be a fact, people will be able to earn with us, sell our Currencies to us for a profit, then if they so choose, they could put their funds into the TRON or Ethereum DeFi markets, and use the "loans" to come back and Buy from us, to later Sell back to us for a profit.
Just to show how we will do Buy Backs.
PUTI itself has a built in Buy Incentive because with 1,440 made per day, it might seem like those who come in first have the biggest advantage, but rewards are divided 65/35 between the reciever of the vote and the curator. So if there are 50,000,000 in Circulation and 5,000,000 of those are on the market for $500, someone could spend that from earnings on a STEEM post and buy in. You benefit if people opt out, because I will always be buying them up.
I will also use BLURT, STEEM and PUCO earnings to buy PUTI and I were will HODL PUTI and keep it staked, and will only occasionally sell any and won't kill the market, I intend to HODL for the entire 100+ years to increase rarity.
PUCO will be sold on exchanges for Liquidity, and the earnings from that will be used to buy PUTI, BLURT and STEEM. And we will buy PUCO back the other way when it is low and they are high on the markets.
We will then make more Tokens and Blockchains, and continue the holding and earning and buying back.
We will then bring that into Precious Metals, Gemstones, Seeds, Books, Land, etc. Which can then in turn be sold in exchange for our Coins and Tokens.
So you will be able to Buy things using your Punic Currencies. And we will Buy them from you, and we will HODL as much as we can.

TRX rewards are also there for Steemit posters, and Tron is pushing Steem for new development, although all that goes real slow, and there is hardly any progress
on the other hand, Steemit is better than Hive at the moment, and Hive have more development going around, but there is no positive influence on price at the moment

Yes, Steemit and Steem haven't given good surprises and good development updates for themselves for a very long time, so many people are no longer interested in them at this time, but if you die it can happen, but if you look at the price it is still below half a dollar in several exchanges, then his death will not happen immediately. 
Hmm, a friend recommended me to use Steemit for my company instead of Medium. So you're all saying that Steemit is losing popularity? Should I stick with Medium? What do you guys prefer?
It depends on what your goals are, if you look at the medium he is very popular and there are many more users. Steemit is a platform where you can receive rewards for your articles, which is not the case for a Medium.

There is no Announcement thread, so I thought I would discuss it here.
"The Blurt blockchain was created using a prototype of the SocialGraph generator. A platform that, once refined, will be able to churn out turnkey blockchains based on any Blurt snapshot, just add witnesses! The SocialGraph team are the founders of Blurt, which is one of many niche chains intended to be launched via SocialGraph technology. You may have heard Zapata for example will be launching once the Blurt bugs have and best practices have been ironed out."

Anyone who invests now will have a stake in several future Blockchains that have yet to be forked.

Blurt is about to Moon Ramp. There are 400,000,000 coins in Circulation today, at 10% inflation, the whole thing started this August. But only like 600 Active Blurt Bloggers & Curators/Voters. As there are 1,000 active users, and 5,000 active users, and 50 people holding 1,000,000 Blurt each refusing to put it on the Market, and actively multiplying their funds by Voting/Curating, the rewards go up and the platform grows.
What is coming is a Bubble, like the Housing Bubble, where these currently $0.01-$0.02 may be as expensive as $20.00 as people around the World start to flood the platform. 100,000 active users is not a long shot for a place that pays you to be there. It will then Stabilize probably at a few Dollars. Then, finally, once there is a Stable Ecosystem and Stable rate of growth instead of a big influx. Then at that time we will still be earning, but there will be the inflation slowly bringing the value of each one down like the U.S. Dollar's inflation. But that will be from the higher stable value.
This all happened with STEEM, which stabilized at a few Dollars after starting at fractions of a Penny. Then Justin Sun bought Steemit, and all those people that had it locked in earning on their accounts, took it out and dumped it on the market. That is the only reason STEEM is as low as $0.15, but even if Blurt were capped at $0.15, and it isn't, that would be a 700% increase if you bought to today.

10% is very high inflation!
If over time it does not receive the same support from the community, it will fall apart like all the other projects that failed in the crypto world ...
We'll see what happens...
I have been using Steemit since right before the Currency STEEM actually was launched, and after all that happened with TRON, etc, it seems BLURT will be the STEEM of the layman, which is what STEEM wanted to, but never tried, to be.
Dan and Ned were just too themselves to make it work. Like look at Dan's face. I understand that people looked past Mark Zuckerburgs... Whiteness we could maybe call it, but like Nerdy Ugly Whiteness, but they didnt actually have to deal with him. On Steemit you had to impress Ned and Dan if you wanted to earn.
Then the Anarchocapitalists took over. And they messed a bunch of stuff up and gave Steemit a Philosophy that was not very accepting of other Philosophies, or Religion, etc. And those Anarchists went to HIVE.
BLURT is starting off with Curators like Steemit has now, STEEM had no distribution model other than to impress Ned and Dan.
BLURT is memeable and makes sense "Free Speech Blog" actually comes to mind when you log in and see the logo, Steemit was like OverStack or Reddit in obscurity of branding.
So it is not just another Coin, it is a coin with the Steemit Blog which makes it accessible to non-Miners, and it is obvious as to what it is.
Like how Twitter has reTweets and Steemit has reSteems, Tweet at least makes sense, like BLURT. reBlurt automatically makes sense.
This is what the Cryptoworld needs.
And the fact it is then going to be used as a Tool to create Forks, just expands that.
Now your Pizza shop can have a Blog, and the Pizza Blogs biggest users actually earn money. No one makes money on Twitter. We can make Blogs for everything soon.
And if you want to start off with a loaded account on those Blogs, buy some BLURT because once those are forked you will wish you had BLURT early on so you could be a part of all of them for Free, or just cash out those coins, your choice, but it will be good to have them.
My Wife is about to teach Mark Zuckerburg about #BlackGirlMagic
We are suing Facebook for attacking her Black Owned Business during Black History month.
We are about to be trading BLURT and STEEM, for Soap, Oils, Creams, etc. And my Wife and I are suing Facebook as we Register a Family Coat of Arms.
Facebook suspended a Page of my Wife's for talking about the Cushites, Apollonius, Punic Wax, in Beauty and Skincare as, as well as the Kush Mountains and Marijuana. So we see that as a great opportunity to bring up am Amazing Ancient Text, get a Refund, her Page back, fight for Black History and Black Women in Business.
And together with the Family Coat of Arms it is perfect.

Yes, there was a funny story with the seizure of the network and the removal of witnesses from power
It wasn't a funny story.. It was 3 chinese exchanges embezzling and powering up custodial stake to "51%" the network and take control over it.
They then proceeded to facilitate the theft of millions of USD worth of Steem... Even from some accounts that were dormant.
Fuck what steem became. fuck sun yuchen and fuck anyone who supports steem after their "owner" turned into a common thief.
If you want an ACTUALLY decentralized social media blockchain that isn't run by a shifty as fuck CCP bellboy check out HIVE on PeakD.com
(note that your Steem keys will work on HIVE for the most part. Stop supporting thieving cowards and migrate your blogging to HIVE!)

And just btw, Steemit just made a Greeters Team.
They are trying to start over after the War with the Bitsharestalk.org based Witnesses.

STEEM is not dead, but it is slowly dying. The number of steem users is slowly going down IMO. Their main competitor medium is way ahead of them in terms of users.
Medium and Reddit are there main competitors. Although medium has an edge in terms of the number of published article per day but Reddit has a lot of user and interaction daily. Steemit is slowly dying because there is no or only few good content creator out there. There log in method too was very hassle, If you forgot your account key, your steemit account was already loss and there is no way to recover it. I stop using it because its very hassle to login my account on any device you need your account key to sign and there is no way to memorize it unless you are using it regularly.
It is the best way for non Tech Savvy people to earn Crypto.
The Password is a barrier, but it is money, so I can see why they didn't want everyone's password to be "pa55word"
STEEM is not dead, but it is slowly dying. The number of steem users is slowly going down IMO. Their main competitor medium is way ahead of them in terms of users.

I think it's dead for more than a year. We used to use it a lot but payrates dropped down significantly. Then they changed curator system and only a few people could earn money, others work for almost free.
I wish it remained same as its first months, fair curators, good writers etc. Now it's just a big hole in crypto-currency industry.

We have to rewhale it.
BLURT is about to have a Bubble, if we all invest in BLURT, we can then wait until it is $1.00 each and then buy STEEM at $0.15.
And if you buy 25,000 BLURT at $0.02 it's like $500.00
25,000 BLURT becoming $1.00 makes $25,000
Now, $0.15 STEEM means each $1.00 Buys 6+ STEEM, so $1,000 is 6,000+ STEEM, $25,000 is 150,000 STEEM.
And with 150,000 STEEM you could set your account on Auto Curate, and then invite other people to earn Upvotes from you. Then make a Scot Bot, have them earn Tokens, use your curation rewards to Buy Back Your Own Token, and sell it at higher prices. Create STEEM Communities to center your efforts.
The same exact concept can be used for BLURT and HIVE.
It is not "dead" but it is really not alive neither. I understand that you wrote a lot of stuff to help people, and this was definitely one of the best methods of making money back in the day without actually spending any money, we all (people who were around back those days) wrote to make money, instead of equipment and other stuff we had more like a "proof of writing" situation and also quality decided on how much you made.
For a while it turned into a SEO place where everyone wrote and you spent money on others to give you money, you gave them 10 bucks and they gave you 5 bucks on steem to make you more famous in order to not need it in the future to make money. But much better methods came up for making money and steem just got boring over course of years.

Well, I am all for forms of Crypto that can be used by anyone.
What would you say is "better" than STEEM together with its clones? And by better do you just mean in terms of profit as STEEM waned, or do you mean easier?

The STEEM community does not like Justin Sun at all, I can feel it by the way they manage to show opposition to the acquisition by making a hard fork. Now all the STEEM supporters are going to Hive.io to continue where their blockchain and crypto activities. I am not really sure how the hard fork will affect STEEM but based on the stats, STEEM still has good market cap which many people are still invested into the coin. We will see how this all works out in the coming months and years.
Here is a Simple Method you could use without too much effort.
First, Buy BLURT now. Sell BLURT at $0.50-$1.00+ (it could go as high as $5.00-$20.00) or just keep it as BLURT Power and earn Curation Rewards until Sell time.
Then Sell and use proceeds to Buy STEEM or HIVE at near $0.15. Wait for BLURT to drop, Buy more BLURT. Sell BLURT at Market spike,
Repeat

On Ionomy you can sell STEEM Backed Dollars earned in your Steemit Wallet, you get BTC. You can then trade that for BLURT.

SBD & HBD ---> Blurt Power
Curate and Continue until Blurt is $0.50 or $1.00
Cash out 1/3 Blurt at $0.50-$1.00
Buy STEEM Power at $0.15 or so
Be a Steemit Whale. Help new people earn SBD to buy BLURT.
It is like Built-In Buy Support, we just suggest to everyone "Hey, you know you can buy BLURT with your SBD/HBD earnings?"

Here is how we are going to be creating Earnings that are not like Wages, but like an Oil Well
1. Blurt, Hive, Steemit + Minnow Support + Canna-Curate + Steemit Communities (APPICS, DLIKER, PunicWax, etc) + Hive Communities
2. SBD + HBD ---> Blurt
3. Blurt + Steemit + Hive + Canna-Curate on Bitcointalk
4. Steem-Engine Tokens + Hive-Engine Tokens + Steemit Communities + Hive Communities + Scot Bots
5. TRON TRC20 Tokens + Bounty0x
5. Blurt ---> STEEM Power
6. STEEM Power to Steem-Engine and Hive Engine, back and forth continuously selling Tokens and STEEM as needed for Liquid, or buying BLURT, etc..
7. DTube Clones
8. Blurt Forks
9. Several other Blockchains
We can also start trading Gold and Silver for Currencies, once a few people do that the value will basically be backed by Gold, and the person selling Gold for Blurt at $0.02 makes tons of earnings on the Blurt Moon Ramp.

You both have no idea what you are talking about. Steemit is just getting restarted.
I do not think there's a point dropping so many messages or threads about steem or steemit. Nobody certainly cares about it.
If we list potential worthy tokens for investment, steem wouldn't make top 100. One single reason why steem is relevant is because, potentially it is a very good blog site and articles are well represented there. Stick to this and always do your own research when it involves investment

STEEM is not dead, but it is slowly dying. The number of steem users is slowly going down IMO. Their main competitor medium is way ahead of them in terms of users.
This is going to be a deep dive into the History of Steemit's emergence in the Crypto world, and the emergence of the Crypto world itself so everyone can understand where Steemit is now.

### The Birth of an Economy
I first heard about Cryptocurrency around 2008, when a friend of mine mentioned something called the "Silk Road", and I had no idea what either of these things were and had 0 understanding of what a Cryptocurrency is. That may be where you are now, or you may have some experience with Cryptocurrency. A few years later, maybe 2011, there were now news articles about the Silk Road again. After reading an Article, I went to reddit did the whole Onion Browser thing, and used the URL to get to the Silk Road. Where I saw the Bitcoin symbol for the first time. It was being used like a $ Symbol, so I was confused.
฿ 6.00
So I highlighted the symbol, and copied it into Google. And a bunch of discussion on a Forum called Bitcointalk.org appeared. So I started reading. I learned about Satoshi Nakamoto, and Cryptocurrency, there was a community goal that was an extension of Satoshi's initial release of the code as Open Source, the goal was that everyone would use Cryptocurrency. It would be a Decentralized currency, not issued as Fiat by a Government. When I first got there, Bitcoins were $5.00 each. Soon after they were $30.00, then $100.00. Some people said it was a Bubble and it would "be affordable again", and this was when everyone traded on MtGox, and trading platform which was an Acronym for "Magic the Gathering Online Exchange", and you had to use a Money order to buy them. Some people began to theorize that Bitcoin was going way up, that one day we would no longer trade Bitcoins, but much smaller segments of the Coins, and these smaller pieces were dubbed "Satoshis".
Then there was Butterfly labs, and the mining farms. It no longer became feas ible to mine with a laptop or number of laptops, and the Graphics cards that had been being used for mining were also being overtaken by the ASICs.
Litecoin was created. Then it was overtaken by ASICs, so Feathercoin and DOGE were created. Eventually came the CryptoNite Algorythm, to counter ASICs and weaken them, Monero is a CryptoNote based coin like this.
### Steemit Emerges
Then Ethereum. A Blockchain Cloud, with dApps in place of Apps. Ethereum is Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS). Bitshares was maybe created before this, but is more of an Organizational Blockchain to be used like a cloud to run 1 or a few websites, while Ethereum is more Decentralized. Bitshares hosts Assets on OpenLedger, these are Token Currencies, not mined but created and owned by the creator, to then be distributed like stocks, or coupons, or tickets, etc. These are then traded on the OpenLedger platform like Cryptocurrencies.
Bitsharestalk.org is similar to Bicointalk.org and is kind of where the ICO trend incubated, and was where the Steemit Witnesses came from. Bitshares was created by Dan and Ned, on what they named the Graphene Blockchain. Their Public release of this Blockchain is called OpenLedger Fabric. IBM uses it. And they used Graphene to create Steemit.
Steemit is a Graphene Blockchain, which can and should be copied into any website model. Any Forum or City or Charity, etc, could launch a Graphene Blockchain to run their website, have Witnesses and Nodes, a Currency, and Voting. Any website could reward their users with a currency like STEEM.
About 3 years ago, the Anarcho-Capitalists came to Steemit. They are like Libertarians to the extreme, and believe the Sidewalks and Roads around you should be Private property, to be used by you as the owner sees fit and for whatever fee they deem appropriate. No Public Property, just Anarchy and Capitalism. And Dan and Ned seemed to approve of this, creating an environment that switched from the most profitable posts being those about Steemit.com or STEEM or trading Crypto, to Anarchy Podcasts and Philosophy against Taxing anyone at all ever. It was a big change, and it was not for the better. I then left the platform.
### Under New Management
Ned then sold Steemit INC to Justin Sun, who founded TRON. And based on what I read from 7 months ago, Ned must have fully and completely implied that Justin had full and complete control of Steemit, without ever having told him about the situation where all the Witnesses, which can be seen as a Board of Directors (BoD), were Bitshares people.
Steemit is a Delegated Proof of Work Staking Chain. I will break this down.
Delegated = Voting, you Upvote posts, you Vote for Witnesses, etc
Proof of Work = Bitcoin itself is a PoW chain, this simply means there is mining. So Delegated Proof of Work means that the Mining is Voted on. So not everyone can Mine STEEM, only Witnesses who are Voted for can mine STEEM.
Staking = This can be equated with Interest. STEEM has Interest associated with Holding it.
So now Delegated Proof of Work Staking Blockchain makes more sense.
So now that Steemit is "Under New Managment" I wanted to explain where it is now. When Ned sold Steemit INC it started a War with the Witnesses and eventually they forked Steemit. This means a new STEEM currency and Blockchain were created, starting from before Justin owned it, and enough people began using it to make it viable. This Platform and Currency are called HIVE. So now there are basically 2 Steemits.

### The Old Hardfork and how it applies now
When Steemit first launched, the Rules were different. It was called Steemit Beta, which means it was a test launch. The main users were those from OpenLedger, and as it launched they decided it was going to be more of a Blog Platform than Reddit is, even with it being named after Reddit. But a few problems emerged, a big one was that people did not think it was fair that posts paid out in 24hrs, so their posts hardly got any time to collect views and earnings. So a new Blockchain was forked from the old one, and the Witnesses elected to migrate to the new chain. The new rules made payout take 7 days, and a second payout at 30 days if new votes were gotten after the 7 days. Then they also made it where if you post 2x in one day on your blog, your earnings for both are added together and divided by 2. If you post 3x, they are added up and divided by 3. They also added the follow feature so you have followers and people you follow. I believe these rules still apply, but I am not sure if posting in Communities divides your payout, or if posting in multiple Communities does, or multiple times in one Community. If you know please share in the comments.
### Communities
Mentioning Communities, these themselves are a new feature put in place by the TRON team. Communities are meant to be places of Collective Wealth, where we can come to find like minded people who can vote on our content. So they are like Reddit Subreddits /r/ which then makes the trending page more like the Reddit front page, where we independently vote and raise each other to "trending" within our groups, which translates to trending in hashtags and friend's lists, which eventually translates to front page trending. So now Steemit will seem like a much much much larger place once we have 10,000 groups to choose from. With 10,000 groups you might join 100 good groups, and never know about 100 other ones, that is how this will grow the Steemit community.
And, this creates a new posting Topic:
Directories
Each user has a little directory on their profile, here is mine
https://steemit.com/@punicwax/communities
You can also write Directories.
Here is the link to find communities
https://steemit.com/communities
If you want to vote for your first Witness, I would choose this guy. He distributes 50% of what is mined to his Voters.

### The Old Hardfork and how it applies now
When Steemit first launched, the Rules were different. It was called Steemit Beta, which means it was a test launch. The main users were those from OpenLedger, and as it launched they decided it was going to be more of a Blog Platform than Reddit is, even with it being named after Reddit. But a few problems emerged, a big one was that people did not think it was fair that posts paid out in 24hrs, so their posts hardly got any time to collect views and earnings. So a new Blockchain was forked from the old one, and the Witnesses elected to migrate to the new chain. The new rules made payout take 7 days, and a second payout at 30 days if new votes were gotten after the 7 days. Then they also made it where if you post 2x in one day on your blog, your earnings for both are added together and divided by 2. If you post 3x, they are added up and divided by 3. They also added the follow feature so you have followers and people you follow. I believe these rules still apply, but I am not sure if posting in Communities divides your payout, or if posting in multiple Communities does, or multiple times in one Community. If you know please share in the comments.
### Communities
Mentioning Communities, these themselves are a new feature put in place by the TRON team. Communities are meant to be places of Collective Wealth, where we can come to find like minded people who can vote on our content. So they are like Reddit Subreddits /r/ which then makes the trending page more like the Reddit front page, where we independently vote and raise each other to "trending" within our groups, which translates to trending in hashtags and friend's lists, which eventually translates to front page trending. So now Steemit will seem like a much much much larger place once we have 10,000 groups to choose from. With 10,000 groups you might join 100 good groups, and never know about 100 other ones, that is how this will grow the Steemit community.
And, this creates a new posting Topic:
Directories
Each user has a little directory on their profile, here is mine

You can also write Directories.
Here is the link to find communities

If you want to vote for your first Witness, I would choose this guy. He distributes 50% of what is mined to his Voters.
