Or make it like Pokemon go where you have to go outside and track down your rewards! Gamify Steemit!

Lol your nearest steem is 50 miles away! Catch it while you can.

There's a Ned-osaurus in your garden. Can you catch him?

Too late. He said he's busy and gone off to work on steemit's roadmap....

Your Dan-izard escaped though!

Doh! I never was any good at this game

Bring it! I don't mean to brag, but I'm pretty good at Fruit Ninja

We'd probably need this to start claiming there's a level of objective proof-of-work :D

Bubbles that were not popped in time will have its STEEM forfeited and burned.

Or they instead move to a random user as "bonus bubble".

This could be fun. Every once in awhile a bonus bubble would float by when you were reading posts. It would make people want to read the whole post and the comments. It would hurt the bot voting.

ooh, yeah! Add this to the comment/idea I posted...
Maybe if Steem, Inc. set aside a daily pool for bubbles this could really work!
I would totally have a wheeee! moment if I saw a steem bubble on my screen and popped it for a bonus. But there should also be an opt out button.

Now it sounds like a good idea in that context..

Or the bubbles go to the trending page where anyone can pop it :)

Haha! Game of Internet Speed.

What if there was a different app where bubbles are popped for points and those points exchanged for Steem?

Five bubbles on screen at a time, only one contains Steem. Pop the wrong one, lose the Steem.

But if the goal is to encourage stickiness on Steemit then a standalone app won't cut it.

Now that would make things interesting... it certainly would require people to pay more attention. What about some kind of bonus if they click the bubble within a certain time period and a penalty if they don't?

Hmm perhaps not a negative penalty, just zero-rewards as penalty..

Well it was meant as a penalty to those rewards, not a penalty in general. For example, instead of losing out on the entire rewards by not clicking the bubble in time, maybe you lose 25% of the rewards or something? Missing out on the whole rewards just sounds so harsh... Just thinking out loud here :)

  • Step 1: Pop bubbles.
  • Step 2: Moon.

Step 3: Sell for Dogecoin.

Yes! Such currency. Much use.

Honestly, I think it's a great idea for a daily STEEM bonus and should be limited to a maximum of, let's say, 2 hours so people get hooked but hopefully not addicted. Any STEEM not used for the allotted bubbles game gets burned to keep our economy strong.

If this actually happened, I'd be assigning my kids to bubble popping duty. I'm sure they'd have a good time.

Hahah plays well into your username :P

How cool a suggestion is that?!!!

I really like it, although this would probably reduce the amount of (active) users in the end, since one cannot expect to sit behing Steemit 24/7.

But, this would be great to actually implement and run this as a returning event, maybe every month for some hours, or 1 day, or marathon sessions of 2 to 3 days with very short time to react on the bubbles.

Definitely need sound effects as well.

Funny idea,but the programmers among us would program a bot to pop the bubbles.Also there is a world outside the internet,that people might want to engage in,without fear of missing out on bubblemoney.

I wonder if it could be designed to be bot resistant!

I think it's a good idea, but something to implement when we've established a larger user base.

Haha it'll be funny if its really implemented. Doubtful xD

Hey, you never know. There's still a lot of work to be done on this platform. And you have not only a fun idea, but one that could potentially benefit the community.

For STEEM begin Bubbles :)

Bubbles that were not popped will float in the trending page for anybody to hunt and redeem ;)

it is a good idea :)

Good idea , like some sort of captcha and the active ones will gain more !

Yes , itll prove there are humans around to poke at bubbles :)

Dont want to be negative , but many people will be upset and disagree , 90 % of the steemit is run now buy bot . Actually very fell people read .

Not surprising if it's 99%. But not a bad thing. Bots are an inevitability, and people will read more offline..

This would be pretty cool, user interaction. But i do think they should be a way to turn it off if people don't want it in that form.

Read blocktrades response above..

Nice idea, except for vacation times and the 1 month rewards :D

Too bad then ;) nobody is allowed to take a vacation off steemit!

reading will vanish

Nobody reads on the internet anyway! jokin' lol

So creative, Great idea ! :) Like it :)

Lol i wrote this as a joke, but it seems there may be a use case or two..

perfect.
good idea.
@kevinwong

Ha..ha..bubles game ! Nice !

Hello Friend ... I hope you will be fine ... Really blogging now has become great on the podium

I have a problem of two days ... I just want to know why ... Do you allow me to mention the problem here?

What problems??

Well I will refrain from writing more than three a day post
If the number of the daily Post is two will the problem be present?
Thank you so much

Hopefully, soon we pop the champagne.

I love popping bubbles

upvoted

@shayne

Sounds amazing

Super Cool Idea!

Great idea!

And seasonal stuff! Like snowflakes or pumpkins!

wow This is really a creative idea! I am 100% confident that once gamification features are in place, we should see a surge in activity because people love fun! :)

Really interesting idea! It would make steemit quite fun and interactive that way!
