Profit By Contributing To Steemit and Open Source Projects. Here's How!

in #utopian-io7 years ago (edited)

I am going to show you in this post how to profit by contributing to Open Source projects and earn Steem Power.

The post I am writing right now is a contribution for an Open Source project that you know quite well... Steemit. Steemit is Open Source, that means its codebase is public, accessible by everyone, editable by everyone. As a proof here is the code behind Steemit: https://github.com/steemit/condenser.

I am writing this contribution using Utopian.io. Utopian.io is the only platform rewarding Open Source contributions with Steem Power. The contribution I am writing right now is falling under the "Visibility" Category in Utopian.io, since I am trying to push the Steemit Open Source project by bringing more contributors to it.
Utopian.io will reward me for creating this contribution with the votes of the community members plus the vote of the Utopian Bot that is powered by 530K Steem Power.

You can also profit from contributing to Steemit using Utopian and I am going to show you how. Keep reading.

My Visibility Effort for Steemit includes:

  • 200 SBD to promote this post.
  • Promotion on my Steemit profile with almost 1k active followers.
  • Promotion in the Utopian discord channel: https://discord.gg/Pc8HG9x where there are already people actively contributing to Open Source projects

Contributions under the Visibility category in Utopian must provide proof of the visibility effort, this is why I am giving you all these details.

The more details I give, the better is my contribution, the most chances I have to get voted by the Utopian Bot that is powered by 530K Steem Power. Read about the Utopian Bot.

wow great post i read this post today . .

Wow sweet

Greetings @elear! Do you think Steemit has what it takes to be one of the top 10 global social media platforms?

We do! Are you willing to help us do what it takes to fix steemits vulernabilities so we can bring this platform to the mainstream?

I represent an media alliance with over 10 million followers. We see that steemit needs a few small, but very important changes to make it to the next level.

Please share your solutions with us! And help us attract the attention of steem developers. Share your wisdom and thoughts with us at
https://steemit.com/steem/@earthnation/solutions-to-bring-steemit-to-the-mainstream-discussion-thread-share-your-solutions-help-us-attract-steem-developers-attention

Together, we will bring steem to the Mainstream!

yeah.. sweet..

You say utopian.io is maintained by steemit, so giving active key to utopian is safe.

Hey @chenlocus. Never wrote that. I wrote SteemConnect V2 is maintained by Steemit not Utopian :)

Hi @elear if Utopian is not maintained by steemit, how can we ensure the safety of account if we enter active key while login

@chenlocus Because it uses SteemConnect V2 to login that is maintained by Steemit. Utopian never sees your credentials nor it is able to store them anywhere.

Thanks, that makes sense now, so I can try utopian.io:)

As the number of sponsors increase, will it decrease the profits we get or not? @elear

The profit depends by the number of posts, how much they gain and how much you have delegated. It will not decrease because the more power the more Steem has Utopian, the more the votes will value and the more the posts will gain, if you get my point :)

How could I miss that!
Sorry mate.
I now realise that it was childish to ask 😂 @elear

wow, gorgeous layout!

can you please tell us some more about the privacy and security of keys and data storage on that domain's servers if any?

thank you for your time.

Very nice!

Hmm as a graphic designer this is interesting! I'm gonna look into it ;)

I will resteem this for you, but what I really want to know, in layman terms, is how to make steemit work properly and we do not have to repost or recomment 3-6 times, and have the system working faster, to me it appears to be a bandwidth problem but I am no expert.

Hey @elear I am @utopian-io. I have just super-voted you at 99% Power!

Thank you bot :D

Is there anyway for those contributions to appear on github itself too?

@cryptoctopus next steps are changing the layout as you suggested. Give project owners the possibility to write announcements and task requests, integration of applicable categories with github. For the hackathon I am planning to make a chrome app to do also the other way around, bring utopian direclty into github ;)

Wow this is awesome @elear, thanks for this info. I am just getting into Python and have an idea for a really helpful Steembot that will enhance and hopefully grow the community. It looks like Utopian is where I need to be at.

Many thanks!

Bloody hell! I was going to put a detailed hypothesis as to why I think this has happened, however I think you have hit the nail on the head here.

I think you're right, it was an experiment to see how it went and now for whatever reason the experiment is over.

I'm not sure about the others, but I reckon @sweetsssj has really boosted the Chinese community and maybe Ned feels that it can stand on its own two feet now?

Or maybe he just needs some spare cash for whatever project and he will power down. Though I think the experiment hypothesis is the strongest one.

Really nice post; thanks for the info! :-)

Cg

Wow! many informative post about utopian-io

I am new to Steemit. In fact this is my first post/ comment on Steemit. Being tech-savvy, the more I dig into Steem, the more I came to know and amazed by the community. I will explore Utopian more even though I understood very less so far.

Hello @elear hi how are you now, before i want to introduce myself first, @ bilqis07 and i want to thank you for your help to vote me and also follow me

Could I translate this post to Chinese?
Post in cn tag or in utopian-io tag?

Sure would be much appreciated @ivysrono. You can use the translation category in Utopian for this.

I tried getting on the Discord channel to offer whatever help I can with the project. Says invite expired. :(

@techslut Thanks for letting me notice that!! here you go https://discord.gg/Pc8HG9x

Brace yourself for the pinkness that is me. :P
