RE: Why @steemhunt and token HUNT can fail...
hello, I'm cofounder of SH. Thanks for your great opinion about the project. There are several things I'd like to address about the issue you mentioned :)
- You are right. Hunters are the most important users for SH of course, and over 90% are the minnows. However, to raise their attention, we had to create a SP pool to upvote them. Sponsors program was also part of the purpose.
- Also, we don't want the rewards for hunters just come from SH SP pool. We want to raise them from other Steemians who has some SPs. This is why we assigned HUNT tokens for both Sponsors and Upvoters to increase the payout value of our hunters.
- HUNT tokens will also be assigned to hunters later when we think it's a right timing.
Hope this can be some answers for you and always welcome to suggest/address your honest opinion about this project!
Thanks a lot for such a fast replay... honest to be i did not think that somebody will even read it.
Again the post wants to bring up some positive debates and i am glad to know that the Hunters are the most important ones but i do believe that point 3 that you mention should be implemented as soon as possible.
And i am really glad to know that an honest opinion is listen!
Thanks a lot for the comment and for the explication but i still think that for the moment the system should bring a balance between all of us!
PS: Positive thoughts will always bring positive actions!
You make an error here: you make it sound as if the AirDrop is the system.
The AirDrop is a max. 500 day operation. A mechanic to bring users to Steemhunt.
When the AirDrop was announced it was mentioned that also hunters would receive tokens. Yet, most important demographic to grow right now are the curators.
We get more than 300 hunts submitted every day. At any time there’s 150-200+ hunts visible in the active window. Nobody will go through all of them. If right now we also allocate HUNT tokens to hunters... we will end up with double the amount of daily items and in 3 weeks you will complain you don’t find any products anymore. Yet, most hunts will still be undervoted because there aren’t enough upvoters in the userbase yet.
Also, Steemhunt isn’t a product database as such. Steemhunt is about the discovery of the “coolest” products every day. So even if only 50 products are submitted, that is fine. Even more so if +5,000 Steemians vote on them.
