While I am still heavily working on http://steemimg.com I wanted to jump in on my second project idea of a Steemit chat web / application. This first stage or experimental stage is very simplistic (VERY!)
Currently you choose a username and enter the “chat room” and start chatting (non html) and it clears itself every 15 minutes. Thats it! I told you it was simplistic.
So you can call this a Experiment.
The experiment should answer:
- Do we want something like this for Steem?
- What capabilities should it have?
- Should it be connected to the BlockChain? Or off the Blockchain?
So what I really want to try and accomplish is a chat platform that could possible support: “Private Messaging” now this may be public private messages but that is another question. Upvoting and trending messages on the “Global Chat” with rewards. Feed of new trending posts and reactions. Down voting or flagging of chat messages to remove them from the global chat. Again all of these are just thoughts and really I wanted to open this up to a dialogue.
Real question: What should I be developing? Comment here or head to the chat , but remember its completely cleared every 15 minutes (If you think it should all stay forever well that is something I could do as well)
IMPORTANT: Usernames can be whatever the user wants. Therefor is a user claims to be Dan or say Myself it could be anyone and anything so just remember that. It is again just an experiment. For Now... ;)
UPDATE 7/18 1:48 PM
Great advice coming in thus far. Temp script User Count Added.
Also the chat is a great place to check on the status of Steemit.com if you are having trouble loading the site.
UPDATE 7/18 5:21 PM
The first of the capabilities I will be working on is:
- User Accounts and a Solid Username Verification Process
- Private Messaging (Which requires the one above to work perfectly)
- All verified steemitchat users will be highlighted in Group Chat and around the site
- Category Based Chat Rooms
I will be doing a Stage 2 Post with the full details soon! More or less when I am closer to a Beta we can all try.
UPDATE 7/19 11:44 AM - TEST
Verify Username Test 001
Steemitchat_COM_VeriFyUseRNaMe_G#SiUzOgXuTCZj8MR1YaxKmkL9QBelor0vbh4W(5N%$!)7E3J&
End
UPDATE 7/19 3:38 PM
One of the first steps I wanted to accomplish even before a true chat system is built: Is the ability to verify that users on steemitchat and steemit with the same username were actually the same (authentic) . I have created a method involving a verify key (example above) and check for it alongside your username and post URL, it only checks inside the users post and not comments.
! By doing it this way it also minimizing security risks because I am not actually connecting your accounts.
I am going to start up a new post after this ones goes down with the current status for Stage 2 Beta either tonight or tomorrow. A separate chat PM system is the next goal.
Stay Tuned
The link you have to your steem image site doesn't work. You have 3 E's. The link should be [http://www.steemimg.com] (http://www.steemimg.com). I've used the site. The site is a great benefit for the Steemit community. Definitely deserves my vote.
Oh My, Thanks for noticing! Has been fixed.
http://www.steemimg.com this site is not fixed. Recently, I tried several times to upload images but it's not working. You should fix it immediately otherwise all steemian lose his/her interest on it. Thank you
@blueorgy DUDE! You are on a roll!
Maybe you will be poached away by @SteemHQ :)
Good busy!
I'm going banana's!
Ps.
The wait is over! I have updated SteemStream.com
SteemStream.com - A Realtime Visualisation of All Activity on Steemit
Major Update V2 Now Featuring
And more new features: https://steemit.com/steem/@roelandp/steemstream-com-v2-major-updates-desktop-notifications-in-depth-speed-analytics-growth-of-steemit-save-favorites-filter-users
Hey roelandp I'd like to comment on this promotion of your post. It's very tall, made more so by the unneeded image, which uses more vertical space in a comment section for someone else's post. I don't feel that's fair to whoever's post you place a comment promoting your own post in. You're diverting minds away from this post and into yours.
In this case it doesn't look like blueorgy minds but I would mind if you did this on one of my posts.
Very Nice! I plan to get stage 2 updates in today / tonight as well
Hi, just a quick question (loving the work by the way): Is there a maximum word limit on the articles I can post? If not, how do I post longer articles? Thanks
Wow, you are going bananas!
Beware! It's not bananas!
I came back to this post about groundbreaking Steemit features to watch a bald guy blow bananas out of his nose. That is all.
lol
I think this would be really good and informative.
Let's Steem!
Great start. I can see this going places. Maybe it could be connected to hash tags, so people can chat about #photography #music etc
Good idea. Exactly why wanted to start this dialogue so early in development - to get a good core of capabilities and ideas going.
Hi @blueorgy I have now seen your post. I have started today a similar project live here:https://steemit.com/steemit/@gabi-dumitriu/socialsteemit-com-dedicated-steemit-social-platform-private-messaging-chat-hashtags-online-steemers-connected
Maybe we should join forces and work together for the common goal: make steemit thrive. What do you say?
Isn't that just http://phpdolphin.com ?
Private messaging too please! Something similar to https://bitmessage.org/
I appreciate the features you are trying in both projects. I'm just confused on the sustainability and scaleability.
In other words.. How you generate income so your creations can pay for themselves?
Or are you planning to figure out the business model later?
I hope to be able to sustain these projects completely with the help of the steemit community. I understand that both projects could end up getting quite large in scale and cost quite a bit of cash... but we can cross that bridge when we get to it. Also I do believe If I continue to update and maintain the projects at a high level my update posts will help support them.
I've sent you some Steem $Dollars...enough for a can of Red Bull to keep you alert.
Interesting. Would love to see this happen!
Totally!
Yes! Congrats @blueorgy!
Yall need to get on this chat and join the cool kids club ;D
Hey Blue, thanks a lot man, been waiting for something like this, one thing i've noticed is that it's a bit difficult to copy paste for whatever reason atm.
Not hating just thought you might appreciate the heads up xD
I've used this platform and it gets pretty addictive, pretty quickly.
It's like an open exchange of ideas, and its minimalistic design allows you to focus on abstraction.
Its future is bright :)
I would like to see chat implemented directly on the platform using only the usernames we log in with - Poloniex has a very good chat interface (or Trollbox as they call it) that operates in the main page and doesn't occupy much space.
How could we vet security if its linked together I wonder. I havent tried it and likely wont. Qhat throws me off is why is this needed when we already have an expansive slack channel. I would also like to see more direct integration of the steemit platform onto slack
wow !! this so great !!! :)
i will try this steemchat :D

you have to put your most recent key/token (changes on refresh) on one of your posts to verify your account
see my screenshot :
what happen with my account??
#steemit #steemitchat #steemimg
Nice! I like the idea because then there'd be place for steemit noobs like myself to get some quick peer feedback! I've already been looking for something like that here.....
I think this will be awesome as long people are getting paid to do it!
The blockchain supports private messages. No UI for it yet.
I used your image site for my post on cashing out steem dollars (shameless plug).
I really appreciated that it preserved the original image name for the first bit. Writing a long tutorial like that it was imperative to keep the images in order, and having the numbers still retained as the first part of the file name was great. Definitely will be using that over imgur for similar posts.
Keep up the good work!
yey! steemit trollbox!!
WOW!!! Thanks for all you're doing! It's a lot of work, and many ideas to implement, but it's AMAZING!
Finaly :D This is wath i have waiting for, hope all agree with that.
Hope all of the world gona join Steemit <3
-Regards
I think steem can could be a rival for bitcoin.... so i think steem can be reach 200$
I appreciate your effort. I have some confusions. What is the difference between steemit.com and steemitchat.com? Can we also earn steem on steemitchat.com, and how?
Very Nice :))))
https://www.steemimg.com/
You're on fire! Loving the work you are doing for the platform!
You really are doing a great job, I hope the people on steemit notice you, and maybe offer you a way to implement your ideas on the official site, that would be awesome
Great Idea!
Great idea to have a chat so that steemers could chat together on issue in a private way. I support and Upvote it!
Superb idea! Cool to see all these ideas popping up everywhere, lots of motivated people!
Nice one mate! Just as I mentioned on the chat and will be cleared in 15 minutes :) Some suggestions:
PS. it's a nice replacement for the slack side that's currently in maintenance. Congrats!!
Thanks for posting this here as well. I'm sure I have a lot of coding ahead of me this week. I want to see how quickly the chat gets out of hand, then i'll give it a short rest and implement some beginning capabilities.
That's a really good and honorable initiative from you, thank you ! I'm however sure that steemit's founders will implement the chat directly on the steemit platform.
Is this related to having an " inbox" and " messaging other people on steemit, or just plain chatrooms? Alo will chatrooms be according to subject, or just one chatroom about anything? Its a great idea hope it works out!
thats a fantastic thing, definitly worth an upvote
Chat or a troll box would be a great addition to the Steemit platform - excellent work!
a private messaging system would be cool to, to send somebody direct messages
coming soon! It's on the roadmap as a priority.
i'll try, thanks
waooooo!!
I really like the idea, especially if we can convert via the chat into other currencies, transfer funds, etc.
Will be great for engagement. Really like where you are headed with this!
Kind of like taking the Slack group and superimposing over the site / being able to use it w/ Steem across the Internet.
Your the man. Keep up the good work and glad that your part of the community.
I would like to suggest you implement group me, it's free and they can increase your account to unlimited users (I have one that is 5k limit) groupme.com
I am already in) I think it can be really interesting!
Good idea, as long as it doesn't end up like "Facebook" ........
nice I like it
Can you tell a bit about the tech-stack, thanks
Cool!!!!!:)
@blueorgy You really are doing a great job Dude :D
yes please and thank you!
This is a killer idea! Someone come chat with me!
Of course we need PM. There needs to be an inbox so people can followup with personal questions or clarifications on ideas without just adding to the ongoing scrolling chain of messages. Check this idea out regarding improving the internal wallet interface:
