Alright... It came a time when id criticize @acidyo. lol.
Amicable. But i dont think it will work. Heres why.
If you want to give @reward.app a try, all you have to do right now is send @reward.app a memo with the number 0 to 100 which defines the percentage of the author rewards you want to go to curators.
When you write the post you just have to set @reward.app as 100% beneficiary and you'll automatically receive the rewards in liquid form at payout minus a 1% fee.
This is all bla bla bla bla bla.
Not because i think its stupid or i think its a bad idea. No. Its because the way its implemented into the user experience it requires people to understand a lot more then they might coming in from the youtube/google state of things. A number of unnecessary steps as well.
And a lot of folks are like that..
What any and all developers, dapps, projects, should think about, you included, is how to seamlessly include your ideas into frontends. I dont use hiveblog at all so in my case its @peakd.
Frontends allow for users to easily interact with HIVE and they should be first of all in mind when introducing any and all major additions.
OCD is a community, isnt it, the biggest one?
You can create these kinds of additions in collaboration with frontends otherwise its true, Mewtwo is better then Mew. ;)
Reach out to those folks and see how that can be introduced into the frontend. "Send memo" doesnt really do much for anyone. Maybe they dont like the idea, maybe its too much work to introduce into a community or the whole site, but it just as well might not be. Maybe a compromise can happen.
@asgarth.
I mean I agree, it can be made easier with the help of front-ends, especially peakd. But setting beneficiaries doesn't seem that difficult for users that wanna use this with the default settings and if they wanna change it I don't think that sending the account a transfer with a number from 0-100 is that much more difficult.
It'll be an uphill battle at first if it gets any traction at all or is considered a valuable asset to the ecosystem after we see how it is used, but there's ways it can be incentivized and once curation rewards start being sent out to users who may not even realize they voted on such a post it could get the fire burning.
What's the relevancy here? :p
just FYI we don't want OCD to be the biggest anymore and have stopped actively curating posts there for a couple months now. A post is coming out soon about our community incubation program where we're incentivizing new and unique communities to grow and existing ones as well that aren't general "all goes" communities. OCD will remain to direct them to those communities and for posts that don't belong in any existing ones. More about that very soon.
If there is anyone that is willing to listen its the Peakd team. Ive been bombarding them with suggestions the last few months and not once did i see any pushback from them, theyve been really easy to talk to. (how their proposal is not funded is a crime against "Hiveanity" 🙃
I actually got one small addition into Peakd. The notification colors are my idea. :) Me, The obnoxious one.
On a serious note... i place the front end developers on the same level as the core devs. I value them just the same. Its them that mold user experience and i think your idea falls right in that category.
OCD isnt the biggest because people expect something from you themselves, anyomore for most part. The price is low, an upvote is hardly life changing. Folks just like you. They think youre doing a good thing and have the best intentions for Hive. I mean they might miss the votes but they know youre well meaning. Thats why OCD will always remain relevant.
