The secret plan for Steem - TL;DR It's world domination - contest inside

in #steem5 years ago (edited)

Some people might not understand what steem is. Some people might be confused, thinking that steemit is somehow steem. Steem is bigger than steemit. Much bigger.

Want me to prove it?

Take a look at this 3 year old post by steem founder @dan. Sure, Dan has 'left' us for EOS, but the secret plan continues, because that is the power of a decentralized community.

As I was perusing this three year old post, I found a very funny internet type joke from none other than @theycallmedan, which I will include here for posterity:

World domination, think about that people. That's what is happening right now. Our world is dominated, and we are on track to break open the greedy fists of those that our choking the life out of our world and build a new structural backbone. We will be replacing that system with one of decentralized nodes, each working independently to add value to the whole system.

What are you building?

Show me what you are building and I will reward you with 1 or more SBI to support your project long term. Minimum total prize, 10 SBI.

Be the node you want to see in the world.

I'm currently creating a add-on for Minecraft servers to use the Steem Blockchain for some fancy decentralized games based on Minecraft. =) Minecraft has still a very active community with over 91 million active players.

Not ready yet but it is working already on my private network...^^

Woah, that's pretty neat! Mojang meets the blockchain, I like it :^)

Good luck with your project, I'll follow along as I'm excited to see the possibilities of this! 👍

I love it! Saw your 'bring me some leaves' contest! Let me know when I can get in on some gameplay!

Is this the same account that will publish all updates about this project?

If I have something to show, I will post about it on my blog here on Steem.
I can't really do so many things which I had in mind because the Minecraft creators have a pretty strict agreement what is allowed and what isn't... =(

But some interesting things are possible, which then I show off. I also do contests where people can win SBI every week.

What are you building?

I'm building a new world. :) Or at least trying to. Who knows what will happen with it. But.. You are familiar with some of it already in the form of the Information Finding Championship contest, and also the Information Finding Channel on discord.

The contest is an idea to try to make a game that is popular that actually helps enrich the world and helps people learn and grow and inspired them to help others as well. As opposed to so much of what we have out there with sports teams that move balls around on fields or where people beat the physical crud out of each other.. Which have their place and I'm not saying they don't.. I just would like to see more constructive games which help people learn more about the world and encourage them to help others as well.. I'd love to some day see stadiums full of people who are trying to make the world a better place, that would be amazing in my opinion!

After the contest we have the Marketplace aspect which allows people to trade P2P anything they want as long as it's not illegal and we don't get involved at all unless it's illegal which hopefully that never happens. If we ever got enough funding we would like to offer a sort of star system like Ebay has where we could reward/award people who do a lot of business, but at the least right now they can develop a trusted reputation through doing that.

Some day hopefully we get our own coin whether an SMT or something else but I think our idea is valuable enough to warrant moving in that direction and if we were ever able to get enough funding I'd like to see even a legit community form in the real world with physical buildings and anarchist sort of communities of freedom minded people gathering together.

Who knows how far this dream will ever go, even if it remains small like it is now I"m happy, but.. This idea is DEEP and I think it could change the world some day if we got the right kind of support. I also think it could help bring a lot of people to steem as well and to crypto in general. I think there's a ton of potential here and I'm curious to see where it goes in time even if it doesn't go very far.. What has happened already in the first season of the contest and the marketplace as well has blown my mind and exceeded my expectations and given me new meaning in life to reach for things I never thought were possible before.. I'm extremely happy with what has already happened and hopefully in time we can do much more. :) Hopefully in time we can be a force that helps do some really positive and good things in the world!

Thanks for your time. Also I'm happy to go into more detail and answer any questions if you have any. Cheers and good luck with your efforts as well! Hopefully in time we can both make this world a more free and fair and enjoyable place in our own individual ways! :D

Is the right account to sponsor @ifc?

I love the idea of you present here. I remember I participated in Academic Decathalon, and we had a blast learning about things as a sport, and I think ifc goes further, competetive creativity, basically you are a winner for participating because the prize is self-enrichment!

Keep up the great work and we should talk soon about marketing.

I'm building my friends and fellow steemians! Go Steemnova and the EARN alliance

Tell me more about the player club please!

Will you tell me about your plans with @theplayersclub?

It's to help grow a bunch of accounts up. Then we can take over the world!

But yeah helping people grow and make Steemit the most it can be

@steemfiction is building a community of steem writers to show the world what steem has to offer. We published our first book on Amazon on March 1st and will publish the 2nd on June 1st. Here's the LINK to the book on Amazon.

This is a really neat concept! I'll be bookmarking that amazon listing to read later.

It's really cool to see a book written by various Steemians, good luck on the second one! 😊

Wow! Where does the money go from a book sale?

We are putting in back into the @steemfiction account and growing it to support more authors!

I've previously built some browser extensions that provide info for steem users, and just the other day abh-numbers (can't remember the numbers in his username) was wondering if there was a way to see the most reblogged posts in your feed. My extension called Steemfeed (firefox store , chrome store), can show just resteems, among other things. So I've started modifying it so that the resteem output can be sorted by number of resteems (and votes and rewards). I hope to update it in the next few days with that ability.

This is awesome! I will be trying out your firefox extension!

Likely @revo ...

"... just the other day abh-numbers (can't remember the numbers in his username) was wondering ..."

... you are referring to @abh12345!

Yeah, that's him. ;)

I am building a community on Steem and off Steem.

I am a Cameroonian and Founder of Steem Cameroon. This is an initiative to promote Steem in Cameroon. We had over 25 Cameroonians on Steem and the bear market eliminated many of them. Still I am still giving my all in this initiative and currently there are a few new Cameroonian Steemians as well as returning ones.

Secondly, I am trying to build a community around dpoll. My main interest is to keep up with the engagement through polls, reason why I am currently running an initiative that rewards 1SBI to best poll created at dpoll on a daily basis.

You can check out one of daily selections

Moreover, I do run weekly Steem Power giveaways in which I give 50SP or 100SP to Steem users that prove to be restricted by resource credit (RC) while trying to engage on Steem. Maybe you might have some Steemians to recommend for the giveaway prize?
Check out the latest giveaway post

Thank you!

Fantastic work! I have lost a good amount of my recruits as well, but not all. What are your plans moving forward - will you invite more people from your area or continue to focus your work on and for those that are here?

Hi, as a delegator to MAP Rewarder, you have won a free upvote in our MAP Rewarder Free Upvote & Crypto News of the Day - 5 April 2019.
Congratulations!


MAP Rewarder Makes Delegating More Rewarding!

I am doing both. I continue to preach the gospel of Steem on the outside world and I had created a WhatsApp group through which I interact with those who want to learn about Steem before joining as well as those who are already on Steem.

Also, I am currently supporting those who are here with auto-upvotes and I do check their blogs from time to time and drop some encouraging comments.

I'm building a Bank on the blockchain. I've giving loans for two years now:

First loan:

And I've been doing it ever since to this day.

Wow, surprisingly this is the first time I've heard about your bank. Do you have a public database of some sort where you update on which contracts were paid back successfully, and which were not? I'd love to see the statistics on that!

Hello, @ecoinstant! First of all, I'm building a family. Another thing I'm building for one year is the @bananafish community. Such place focuses on poetry and fiction writing: these are activities that require creativity and an open mind, the best weapons I know against alienation and to foster a change. So yes, we're writers, we're steemians, we ran avg. 75 contests so far in one year, we distribute steem and sbi, we sustain minnows. All of this is true but, at the core, we're just down on earth people, caring about each other and believing in the possibility of a better world. One last thing, we strongly believe in the power of the crowd and I'm really proud of our last experiment, the Quest in the Realms, a co-writing adventure in 57 episodes on the steemit platform which involved 11 writers.

This is our manifesto

This is a link to our community, we would be honored to see you in our wondrous realms of Bananafish 🙂

BananaFish - very cool, is Quest of Realms still explorable by newbies or is it 'one and done'?

Yes, rewards apart it's still playable, it's like CYOA book.
In case you want to read a couple of episodes, hope you'll have fun.

OOOOH I think I want to play while recording it - do you think that would be fun?

What is next for BANANAFISH community?

Should you do that in a dtube vid please tell us!!

Next we are going to write a book (this is top secret!) and as soon as the Bananafish logo restyling we'll be ready we'll create our t-shirts for the whole crew 😁 Let me add: It would be and honor to have you in our discord, E.A.R.N. commander!

Hello @f3nix! How is it going with BananaFish?

I ask because I am hosting another contest, this time supporting and showcasing the best projects being built on STEEM!

Please consider participating!

Hello our great E.a.r.n. commander @ecoinstar!
Unfortunately, I read it just now. I'm mostly using the @bananafish account, which now is a community account. It's going well with our 3/4 monthly initiatives have to say, we have a good support from @curie, blessed those curators. Hope to be in time to participate next time and spread the new. Cheers!

Your balance is below $0.3. Your account is running low and should be replenished. You have roughly 10 more @dustsweeper votes. Check out the Dustsweeper FAQ here: https://steemit.com/dustsweeper/@dustsweeper/dustsweeper-faq

I'm building KURE, a community curation network platform ;)

Wow, an entire front end dedicated to community curation projects! WOW!! I am familiar with some groups that do things like this through discord, how amazing to bring it back on the chain.

Is there a specific account for this project or is it just you?

I have an account, @kure, but don't have a purpose for using it yet. Any ideas?

Not sure? Maybe it could start resteeming community curation posts?

It looks like you are hard at work building the codes which will run this community! Do you have an idea when beta testers will be able to test your beta?

Hi Krnel! Do you use discord? I would like to interview you about the KURE project.

I already built...................my work is done. LOLL
yes, kind of a riddle.

Tell me more! Did you build a house?
