On your points about EOS vs STEEM, i can mostly agree, but i still think that STEEM is unique enough and different enough from EOS to have moderate success (at the very least) moving forward.
My issue with other blockchains like EOS and TRON is that because the information is extremely scattered, i cant seem to find anything that would possibly provide an earning opportunity like we can find here on STEEM...
I made a 400% ROI on Steemmonster cards and im still earning STEEM.
I make a few STEEM per week from curation here.
Few STEEM a week for posting.
Etc...
Im not sure if EOS has something to offer like that.
It does/doesn't. ;)
EOS may build a social platform. Dan keeps teasing about one, but it's obviously not launched yet.
U.Community is in alpha, as mentioned. And Trybe is gaining traction, with a new UI coming out next month.
So while EOSio as an organization doesn't have anything yet, there are other projects built on the blockchain. I wouldn't be surprised to see a sidechain come out eventually as well. It's quite the endeavor though.
I agree. The information is a bit scattered. It can be frustrating. And trying to keep up is very difficult, at least for me.
Steem has always been great because of its ingenuity and the community is great. But it took a couple of years before some real tools were built for folks to be able to interact. Even then, the code has discouraged a lot of developers because it's so hard to work with. Steemit never made that easy. That aspect has literally cost me thousands, personally. And they never really built much that went beyond their UI, at least not from a user perspective.
I'm heavily in STEEM. I want to see it thrive. And I'm glad to see some of the current innovations being built on it, even if I don't play games or gamble. Time will tell.
Hmm. Would you say Trybe is worth a shot? Can their tokens be traded? WLS for example is priced at 1/8th that of STEEM but the earning potential on Whaleshares is at a decent level.
One of the reason i dont post on something like MINDS is not only due to it being centralized and policed but due to the extremely low earning potential.
Do you know how Trybe compares?
It's really hard to say, in the long-game. Because it's so new, it's highly speculative.
From what I'm seeing on the platform, they're doing all the things that Steemit should have been working on two years ago. I've interacted a bit with the founder and am impressed.
They want to monetize every angle, but also don't want to over-monetize (to the point of chasing people off). You can see that reflected in polls they take regularly. It also reflects that they're sensitive to what their customer base wants to do.
It's not it's own blockchain, like Steem is. That may give Steem an edge, along with an already great community and first mover advantage. But EOSio has massive momentum. Even Ethereum didn't have this sort of momentum at this stage, and look how well it's done. Trybe, being built on EOSio, gets to ride that and is the first mover on the EOSio blockchain. That'll mean something.
Their roadmap already has a lot of the things folks are just now talking about for Steem. They're working on an API, integration with other sites, subsites, groups, subscription services, etc. They have their own wallet and are looking at exchange options, as well as a portfolio tracker.
So, what do you think? We've taken a position in it.
Incidentally, we're working on the ability to post directly to Trybe from Scripsio. It won't be easy, but hopefully we can pull it off so that you could post to both Steem and Trybe simultaneously from Scripsio. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. But I'd encourage anyone to get started on Trybe now. If it doesn't work out, well, it's not the first time. If it does, you might do nicely just like the earliest adopters (first couple of months) of Steem did. Trybe is Trybe.one.
Adding Trybe to Scripsio would be awesome. Maybe even go for Whaleshares, Minds, etc. Cover most content publishing platforms. I dont think there are much, if any, sites doing cross chain posting.
I made a trybe account yesterday, trying to figure out the UI. Its a bit convoluted bit seems professionally built.
I was kind of late to the crypto game, so really anything coming my way is great.
Yeah, adding as many as we could would be great. How to configure the comment section would be an interesting challenge. But the bigger one is simply creating the interconnectivity. It took over 2 years before someone finally came up with a stable WordPress plugin for Steem integration. It could probably be adapted for Whaleshares, which is a thought. Trybe is already looking for answers and has developers working on it. Mind doesn't seem as focused on reaching out in that way, though there might be something out there.
Trybe is building a new UI, so isn't putting a ton of time into polishing the current one. It works well enough, but the new one should be pretty slick. I think their new wallet comes out in a couple of weeks, followed by the new UI a couple weeks later, but don't quote me. :)
The whole space is overwhelming. There are so many projects, so much of which is junk and then some absolutely amazing projects that can be tough to pick from the pack. And some are sleepers. I think WORBLI is one of those. Time will tell. One that many missed because their marketing wasn't great was Monoco ( (Crypto.com](https://platinum.crypto.com/r/xyr74jxaul) ). Their execution appears to have been fantastic though. That link gets you $80 credit. :) Telos is trying to one-up EOSio with a slightly different protocol and a no-whale foundation/airdrop. BOID seems to be making a big splash. how to choose? Yep, overwhelming.
Yeah, you just gave me some homework. haha.
Thx for the link. I downloaded the app and i have to say that it runs as smoothly as anything ive ever seen. Ill have to look into MCO a bit more.
