Take a look at https://steemit.com/created/ which looks absurd at this point.
"Bottom line there is nothing else going on within the steemit blockchain that is encouraging growth" <-- that's the real issue right here. It's the fact that no much else is happening and where something else is happening, it's not known or utilized by the userbase.
Account creation as a pure indicator of real growth on steemit is a comical measure right now. Either there are tons of brand new users that don't have the RCs to do anything or there are a bunch of existing users creating countless alt accounts. I lean towards the latter, very heavily. Very very heavily, even more than you would think very heavily.
Account creation isn't a good measure. For example, there's one user who has about 20k accounts right now.
Sorry, I misunderstood the link for the new created posts, thought it was something for created accounts. My point- long story short is that redistributing some whale wealth from fundition to juice up the steemit economy in an effort to increase upon the user base even if it causes thousands of posts daily is not a bad thing at all in my humble opinion. Also that is something that can be changed as needed later on.
Fundition is not “whale wealth” that needs to be juiced. It receives Steemit Inc. delegation for the designated goals of the project. The team of drugwars (who is also behind fundition) have taken it upon themselves to use the delegation to fund their other projects, which is not what it was intended for.. hence the reason people are commenting about it here 😄
I’m sure the other games, that have been developed out of pocket from those building them, would love to get 100% fundition votes to make their games a success.. but unfortunately, even though they played by the rules of fundition (and applied) they don’t get the same benefit of those behind the project.. who feel they can use Steemit Inc. delegation however they see fit.. even if it was intended for something else 🙂
Not meaning to get into an argumentative position but what on earth is fundition for if a game cannot pass out upvotes based on participation as a prize to reward steemit users? The delegation could also be pulled at any time if there is serious rule-breaking or protocol being broken. This has been the problem on here with lack of growth. Without a few million SP the game draws a lot less attention. Why not hype a simple game that at some point is planned to transfer very easily into drawing facebook users or other social medias ideally growing the steemit user base? I try not to be too much of a fanboy in these things but this is a very positive thing moving forward and I am surprised when something designed to retain users and inject growth to the platform is seeing this level of negativity. You have your stance but as paraphrased before steem the publicly traded entity is slowly falling down the ranks of the coinmarketcap100. To paraphrase a Richard Heart quote: No one gives a [expletive] about the details they only care about if it's going up in value. While those of us on the inside and regular users of the platform may think a little less in absolutes there is no denying that steem is getting passed like it's not even moving by coins on there like they aren't even moving. Steem right now is being trusted with a 0.00007599 ratio to Bitcoin, which I think is absurdly low but the rest of the market at least at the moment does not think so (I personally think it's more legit at 0.00013ish but of course that's my humble opinion). That unfortunately is how crypto based enterprises are seen by the public due to still being so new. Agree to disagree, though I do not disagree if fundition has specified rules in conditions for their delegation then yes that is an issue they can take up with the creators of the game of course.
hi @cryptkeeper17,
Thanks for not being short sighted. Fortunately many steemians have the same will of us and I'm really thankful to them for their understanding and their support since the start.
@llfarms You are not trying to shut the game down, but you are apparently coming in our discord to say that we are scammers. Ok.
Paradoxically while saying that you are also playing to DrugWars, and I have no doubt that you even take some fun of it. You don't have to assume it no worry.
So I wont accuse you of being hypocritical because you probably didnt want to say that, but you seems to be obsessed by our delegation as few other people, so thanks for this interest, as we said many times this delegation was made to Futureshock with the purpose to continue to work on Steem and give our best while developping many important apps for this ecosystem. So we reserve the right to use this delegation as we want (without any abuse, in contrary to what you think) to develop our entity beside Steem and make them grow as much as possible.
What is also interesting, is to see some people acting as judge while with Fundition (the only dApps which offer a transparent system, with a consequent delegation which did not take any fees for 1 year now and who never used a bot to curate projects on it's platform) FutureShock have put thousand of steem from its pocket (mostly with the help of ekitcho) and leased thousand others from some holders to continue to give the best service ever seen on blockchain and crowdfunding platforms. The blockchain and the community are our witnesses. We also gave an instant entry to crypto-crowdfunding by offering a "paypal to steem" service without any fees.
We are a team of 7-10 person who have helped and are helping many steemians not to only raise fund for their projects but also to give them some keys and tips to success in their projects. Beside that we are developping 5 different platforms based on Steem with 3 only related to gaming.
Most of us are multiskilled people and we have worked and are working on many different projects on Steem not only on futureshock apps. So for you we are abusing by taking 3%-4% fees on drugwars post? OK. What other apps do? Don't you feel the necessity to open your eyes?
Did you ever think 1 sec about what Futureshock is bringing to Steem?
Nobody have an idea of the cost to run drugwars nor fundition... but yeah it is hard to ask us some informations...
I'm just sad to see some people like you who seems to want the good of steem being obsessed by the fact that we are entertaining and rewarding our community... the steem community. Steemit can even remove our delegation we have proved our motivation and our potential without any delegation in the past and we are ready to do it again if necessary ;) We are Steemians, we are passionates by what we do and nothing of what you can say will change that. You have clearly selected the wrong target ;)
See.. this right here is why you are bad at this
No I didn’t. I came in your discord and pointed out the votes, just like I did here. Not once did I say you were scammers. In fact “Scammer” was never a word I used. Maybe you are confusing me with the tons of people in there I saw calling you all scammers though, there were quite a few.. I guess it could get confusing.
I would show proof of what I said, but you apparently kicked me out of your discord for asking the question. So, maybe you could provide some proof of this accusation as you seem to kick people pretty quickly instead of just addressing the issue.
Ummm no I don’t. I’ve never played the game and as I said above (feel free to reread), my issue is not with the game itself.. just the pompous people behind it.
I know you feel like your team and your game are so damn valuable here that you can do as you want. I believe when I brought this up a month ago you told me I should be thankful you weren’t more of a scammer, right?
I have no target, I am just pointing out something that is inappropriate.. as are many others. Maybe you should get off your high horse and look around a bit before trying to defend your questionable actions so passionately 😉
I’m not shooting the game down, just asking they play by the same rules they expect others to. Games like drugwars are great for the platform, no need to abuse delegation to make it successful though, that’s my only point.
I don’t think you are understanding what fundition is or the situation at hand, so I’ll leave it at that.
Games ✅
Abusing Delegation ❌
Sorry I have to correct it. There is no steemit blockchain, its steem blockchain.
Steemit is one of the DApps on steem blockchain.
Peace!
yes, that was a typo, of course there is a steem blockchain, not a steemit blockchain. then you must down with everything else other than that tiny little slip up while typing quickly and doing two or three other things.
Yeah that's true.
