The first phase of the Steem FAQ and Wikee: Consolidation of Knowledge

https://www.riverscasino.com/pittsburgh/images/librariesprovider4/default-album/faq.jpg?sfvrsn=0

Many have called for it, some have looked for it, and now we are going to create it. **We need your help** creating the best **FAQ** and **Wikee** a cryptocurrency and/or social media site has ever had. This will be for new users, journalists and more, so let's make FAQs and Wikees great again.

To begin, let's do a few things in this post:

***1/*** **Add your questions** about Steem and Steemit below that you believe are asked frequently. (a/ Please only submit one question per high level comment. b/ Please submit *new* questions to the thread)

***2/*** **Answer each others' questions** :)

***3/*** **Link any articles** that are relevant to a Steem / Steemit Wikee. (a/ Please submit the link with the following information and structure: *Subject / Date posted / Author / Link / One sentence description*.)

A few users (I know of @someguy123 & @dragon) have begun Wiki projects. This thread is meant to help them, Steemers and Steemitans alike take the Wikee and FAQ projects to the next level by consolidating the best information and getting the best answers. I'll be watching this thread closely and answering questions along with some others on the Steemit team such as @dan and @theoretical to help pull out the best answers down to the technical level.

For time's sake, let's consider this a one month long project, although hopefully we can string together the most relevant questions answers and articles much sooner.

The FAQ and Wikee projects could use a lot of love. Steemit is interested in hiring or supporting any entreprenuering Steemians to help with the task. Please reach out to me on steemit.chat (@ned) if you are interested in helping :)

By sharing your original and unique posts, and helping give value to others and the community at large, accurately voting, and giving helpful feedback or constructive helpful criticism. Once people see the value in all of that, you'll get upvoted on your posts and comments and be rewarded by curating.

You can make money by investing in Steem power(powering up). You're both helping in ensuring the long term health and stability of the Steem/Steemit and you'll be rewarded(money maid).

Holding Steem dollars, you get a 10% APR interest too. So that's a good way to make money just for holding Steem dollars. Please note: This 10% APR is interest for now. It could change.

Trading tokens is another way to make money. That is, buy low, sell high, repeat all.

Love this, desperately needed.

I guess this is the best place to ask particular questions that I'm unsure about.

I know that upvoting more than 20 articles in a 24 hour period begins decreasing my upvote power for each upvote. This question has 2 parts (related so submitting them both in this one comment rather than separate ones):
1) Do the first 20 upvotes lose and gain power retroactively as my votes go above or below 20 in the 24 hour period? 
2) Do upvotes made on comments within articles contribute to this voting power decay?

1. You can check your up vote "power" here: http://www.steemdollar.com/dollar_per_vote.php? ,
Your up vote power slowly regenerates, the higher it is, the slower it regenerates  and the more you use it, the faster you lower it. The 20 up votes "rule" is just a fancy way of saying that 20 Up votes per day are the most powerful ones. But you shouldn't be concerned with this, many users go to 60% even lower, anyways It's a personal choice. Use the tool I've linked too and see what fits you :).
2. Yes, up voting comments does use voting power.

Hopping on this question bandwagon. Anyone have any plans to encourage more replies to  posts? A top post will be worth $3000 and have fifty replies, 48 of which have zero upvotes even though twenty-five of those replies are of good quallity.

by powering up you lock up your funds for as long as you want while you gain % interest (more steem) on your steempower. At some point in the future when you want to power down, it will take about two years to empty your steempower. If Steem is flat or worth more in the future, you make profit by powering up.

Powering up does not ensure that you will automatically profit. This is contingent on what the price of Steem will be over a given time period as well as your actions as a curator.

Powering up (in other words converting Steem to Steem Power) allows one 

a) to increase their voting power and claim curation rewards
b) to protect themselves from dilution (up to 90% compared to the running inflation rate)

You'll be rewarded(profit) once you power up. Powering up, means showing your long term commitment to the Steemit platform, your trust and belief. Powering up ensures the long term health and stability of the Steemit platform. And for helping and having that much support and faith, you get rewarded(profit).

steem is a token you can buy or sell.
steem power is steem locked up in a time-vault that is generating more steem locked in steempower until you power down and convert your steempower to steem over a two year period.
Steem Dollars is a token you can buy or sell and it is pegged to about $1 worth of steem.

Steem tokens are tradable tokens and can be bought or sold instantly at anytime. It does not determine how much influence you have on Steemit.

Steem power are long term shares of a company that when invested in, can only be cashed out at 1 percent per week, over 2 years. A total of 104(number of weeks in 2 years) payments over 2 years. Investments in Steem power means the commitment to the long term value and health of it.

Each Steem dollar can be converted to Steem worth 1 dollar. It's pegged to the US dollar. Currently convertible to Steem worth about 80 cents and ranges from 80 cents to $1.40 the highest so far I've seen. And the range is sometimes dependent on the price of Steem going up or down when converting. But ultimately it's convertible to Steem worth 1 dollar.

Steem is a crypto-commodity that is used to back a digital currency called Steem Dollars which are always worth about 1 USD. Steem Power is a reputation point system that grants the individuals who add the most value to the platform the most influence. It too is backed by the crypto-commodity steem which means it can be converted into Steem and then into some other money like Bitcoin or USD, however, unlike Steem Dollars you cannot cash out right away.

The more you vote, the lower your 'voting power' drops, your votes will be worth less the more you vote. Your voting power comes back though, it takes 5 days to fully replenish from 0 - but will replenish faster the closer it is to 100% - kind of like a mana bar in a  computer game.

Steem gets value by grabbing attention of many people and selling that attention to those who buy it or earn it. (The answer above is pretty good too)

@nikolai · Aug 20 '16

The answer needs to reduce to a lease on transaction bandwidth to be complete. Anyone who isn't a top poster or curator is effectively paying a membership fee to avoid individual vote/post fees. This can be hidden if there is growth or inflation, but when there isn't the platform will shrink/die unless there are people with recurring buys set up

A scam is where someone requires your money first in order to be a part of... Steemit gives you money rather for signing up and doesn't require you to invest any to be a part of. All you need is your time, to share your unique and original content, to potentially get even more. How is that a scam? :)

Not necessarily, people fears to spend time expecting to earn money and when is time to cash out, they can't. Also, the "buy STEEM POWER" thing might  sound like scam, because it is supposed to earn you more cash.

I think when people ask:
*Where does the money come from?*
they usually mean this:
*Who is gonna be on the other side of the trade, when I cash out and sell my Steem Dollars?*

And I'd suggest the shortest answer to be something like this:

*Behind the Steem Dollars (that you get for posting & commenting) are actual shares in the Steem system. So when you cash out you receive "real" cash for your Steem Dollars, but at the same time you give up some of the shares in the Steem system. And there are people who would like to buy those shares from you.*

*Why would they want to do buy those shares?*

*The shortest answer is that they believe (or speculate on the fact) that Steem (with its Steem Dollar) will one day become a ubiquitous momentary system and there will be millions of people buying and selling stuff for Steem Dollars (which effectively is nothing else than "repackaged" Steem) and, as a result, there will be demand for it as a currency just to sit in people's wallets. It's the same vision Bitcoin (or any other crypto-currency) investors have. It's a speculative bet.*

*So the answer really boils down to this: on the other side of the trade are long term speculators/investors who see in Steem a ubiquitous monetary system of the future.*

Answer for non crypto geeks:
The money for blog rewards comes from distributing 5% each year (or now 7,5%?) of the market  capitalization of the  steem platform. Just imagine Mark Zuckerberg would sell 5% of his Facebook stocks each year and distribute the dollars to great posts. Why should Mark Zuckerberg do that? Because he hopes to attract great content providers, which then attract more people to read it and use his platform. The more people join and use his platform the more his platform becomes value the more he can distribute.   Mark Zuckerberg  dosnt do this yet, but the decentralized steem platform does this.  

But what is happening now if no users will join anymore? In the long run the plan is that steem dollars become a stable easy to use currency.  Currently mainly banks create new currency units through borrowing money.  Instead of giving out new currency units as credits like banks do currently, the steem platform distributes them for great content. So if steem dollars will become widely used there is a lot to fairly distribute. 

For crypto geeks:
In Bitcoin each year Millions and Millions worth of new coins are distributed through ¨wasting¨ a lot of energy. 
Instead of wasting energy the steem platform distributes them as a reward to great content providers.

Where does the money come from? This is a decentralized, incentivized content and curation ecosystem based on token seignorage with set and specific rules. The "money" at its base is actually a set of game tokens, which are distributed to creators and curators as rewards for successfully playing the game. What makes the system robust, however, is that the tokens have a real-time value because they are traded on markets. The markets allow the tokens to demonstrate their subjective value. This way, when one has 1 Steem token, that person can know what the value of their token is worth to other people. It's similar to how someone playing a video game could obtain a rare item by playing the game. If they have that rare item, then they could potentially sell it on video game item markets. Steem can be thought of as a game system for content, where the rewards people earn are video game tokens that have real market value and are easily tradable for bitcoin and USD.

Further background for understanding is that Steemit is a website much like Reddit, however, it is different in that it pulls its information from a blockchain and cryptocurrency database called Steem rather than a centralized, private database. In this way, Steemit is also analogous to other blockchain-based businesses such as Blockchain.info, which pulls its data from the Bitcoin network. Regarding its difference from Steemit, Steem is a cryptocurrency and the blockchain database that rewards posters and voters for bringing new information to the community. It is an independent entity from Steemit. The Steem networks' rewards paid to bloggers and curators is mining seignorage and it works the same way miners are paid to secure the Bitcoin network. Rewards paid to bloggers do not come from Steemit Inc nor from investment in Steemit Inc. There has been more than $3 million dollars worth of Steem tokens rewarded by the Steem blockchain to these creators and curators. Steemit does not and will not ever pay the contributors of the Steem network for curating and creating content. Steemit is not a middle man to any of the blockchain processes and the technology remains completely open source and transparent for anyone to audit and verify (Many software engineers are currently leveraging the open-source code to build their own applications on Steem. There are more than sixty so far.). Claims that there is somehow a scam or that money is from coming from new investment in Steemit are categorically false. Rather, the natural inclination of the platform Steem is to continue building and improving an incredibly exciting social media network that is decentralizing the value of the web and genuinely improving the lives of thousands of people around the world.

We should have this be a very full and informative section of the FAQ/Wiki for this. There should be lots of different options that explain the whole process from start to end, and what the pros and cons are for the different methods.

We need to keep in mind that a lot of Steemit users have little to no exposure to Bitcoins, exchanges, etc. I've helped a few of my friends through this process, and know from their experience that this aspect of Steemit cam be overwhelming.

Also, detailed steps to go between all the currencies should be there. Steem->BTC->USD. USD->BTC->SP. SBD->Steem->SP. (etc.)

You can convert your Steem to fiat currency by transferring your Steem to an exchange. Selling it to Bitcoin and using an exhange like Circle.com or Coinbase.com to sell to fiat.

If you've already sold your Steem to Steem dollars, you can also send your Steem dollars to an exchange like Poloniex, sell to Bitcoin, and sell on an exchange that buys Bitcoin for fiat like Circle.com or Coinbase.com for fiat.

If your vote is worth less than 0.01$ the answer is: Whenever you like.

If you are actively trying to maximize curation rewards, the answer is: Prior to big voters upvoting what you want to upvote. Keep in mind that votes cast before the first 15mn period do not provide serious curation rewards to you (edit: the answer below has the table). Curation rewards increase gradually up to the 29th minute and are maximized from the 30th minute onwards. But if more people have voted at that point it may be preferable to have voted earlier (say 15-20-25 minutes) as long as you voted earlier than them.

This system may appear "complex" because it doesn't have a fixed answer, yet the rationale behind it is to reward those who are able to "spot" good content earlier than others. So there is an increased amount of relativity on the aspect of who votes and when they vote.

properties (22)

@kakradetome · Aug 19 '16

There is a penalty for voting earlier on a post. This is not a negative penalty. It is a penalty in a form of a reward or bonus for the author of the post. If you vote early, what you're doing is valueing the authors post giving all or some of your curation rewards based on when you vote. After 30 minutes, 100% of the curation rewards go to you the curator of curating and 0 to the author. Anything less than 30 minutes is split between the author and the curator in terms of curation rewards. 

Details: 
Voting above 30 minutes into the post, the author gets 0% whilst the curator gets 100%.
Voting above 20 minutes into the post, the author gets 54% whilst the curator gets 44%.
Voting above 10 minutes into the post, the author gets 89% whilst the curator gets 11%.
Voting above 5 minutes into the post, the author gets 97.2% whilst the curator gets 2.8%.
Voting above 3 minutes into the post, the author gets 99% whilst the curator gets 1%.

Hope this helps :)

-1- Everyone has different priorities. Some may want to power up and increase their voting influence and curation income and some may want to cash out. It is strictly a personal choice.

-2- Blogging adds value. Commenting adds value. Upvoting (as intended - in the form of spotting good content fast) adds value. If Sharing a link is found to add value, it will probably be implemented as a function and incentivized.

You should power up because when you do, you 're ensuring the long term health of Steem and for your commitment, you're rewarded more than just holding Steem or cashing out.

You 're rewarded for sharing. When you share your unique and original content, you're rewarded in terms of upvotes(payout) the same way you reward others when you upvote their posts.

A blockchain is essentially a distributed database where pieces of information are added in a sequence of small blocks, hence the name of "block-chain". Since multiple parties have a copy of the database, a consensus mechanism is typically required to make sure that everyone has the same data.

In the real life, we interact and do business with one another. All the business and trade transactions are recorded somewhere whether it's bookkeeping or other forms. This record is for the most part hidden or inaccessible to the public. eg. You don't see the transactions of your friends bank account. We put our trust in banks and other trusted third parties and allow them keep track of verification and validations of these transactions.

Bitcoin uses computers that are networked through the internet, to keep track of collection of data, exactly what banks and other trusted third parties for example do. The collection of data is open to the public and not in control of anyone, not the government, no one. It is public in something called a ledger availabe to every computer on the bitcoin network. This ledger(record keeping) is called the blockchain. Same thing as in the real world, but public, accessible and not in control of anyone.

1) The money are given in 104 weeks and you get 1/104th every week, after the powerdown.
2) It is not payed out at once but while you are getting the 1/104th every week you can still increase the SP. It's actually possible to be both cashing out and increasing your SP if you are making SP from votes and interest.

While powering down the network has calculated your Vests, which are a stable measure of Steem supply.  The network will transfer 1/104 of your Steem Power (Calculated as Vests) to Steem each week.

The action occurs on a weekly basis.

The main thing I did, I think, is focus on other people's needs and I tried very hard to help as many people as possible by providing high-quality comments. Most people get on Steemit and somehow try to "game the system" but the best thing you can do is provide as much value to as many people as possible in your own unique way. This means that you get to know your own strengths intimately. You have unique strengths that no one else has. Use them, in a beneficial way, but without thinking of how that will ultimately be benefitting you.  That, to me is the key. I don't always succeed in this endeavor because of the human tendency towards self-interest. But doing it as a practice, it does become easier.

Steemit is for everyone, although professional and famous people do have an advantage in terms of recognition and following. This is normal. However this is not mutually exclusive with achieving success on your own and making a brand of your name. Some have done precisely that on Steemit and they weren't famous before their engagement with it.

I understand your concern. If you were famous, you'd attract a lot of attention too. People who are famous are just that, they automatically attract their fans. They didn't get those fans for no reason. They worked for them basically so that's their reward for the work they did. There's nothing wrong with that if you ask me. Having said that i understand how our posts won't get as much attention initially as them, but it doesn't mean Steemit won't serve you well if you consistently provide unique and original content that gives value to the community. 

I'm not a whale or anything close but i can say I'm a living testimony of the evidence of the rewards at least however 'little'(I'm grateful, happy and i value them so therefore they're not little.) Keep at it and you'll be fine. Don't give up. See Steemit for what it is, engage and give value to the community and the interactions alone will make you happy. If you get a reward from it, great, if not, still great :)

On the technical level, the two cryptocurrencies are running different technologies for their blockchain. Steem is based on "Graphene" which is based on a system of "witnesses" to carry out the bulk of the work involved in maintaining the blockchain.

In terms of economic differences Bitcoin has a steady number of coins at 21mn and a relatively low inflation rate. Steem is different in that regard (no cap / high inflation with built in dilution protection due to Steem Power). Steem can also avoid volatility through the existence of the Steem-Backed-Dollar - a token which is floating in value around the 1$ mark. This also gives 10% interest (which is quite high).

I'll give it a go on 2 of these 

-1- (whales/dolphins/minnows): Each voter has a different level of power depending his Steem Power holdings. Very large stakeholders of Steem Power are called "Whales" due to their big impact when they vote. Minnows are typically new users whose voting power is very small. Dolphins are somewhere in the middle.

-2- A post may be losing value (or increasing in value) due to fluctuations in the price of steem and/or the voting occurring in other posts - as all posts share a common reward pool.

Why does my post say "pending payout"?
First of all, it's changed to potential payout. Potential because it's what you're about to be paid if that's the final payount. It's now a final payout yet because it can go up or down.

Why is it my post is losing value over time?
Partly because of the price of Steem.

How do I tag my post appropriately?
Ask yourself, what is this post about and narrow the answer to one or two words. Or what category of topics this post can placed in.

Why do I only have the option to tag five items?
One reason is to prevent spam. Another reason is that, most tags can be merged into one and therefore redundant.

Why is it I see someone voted my post, yet when they also voted for another it is worth more than mine?
One possible unsure reason is because perhaps when they voted on yours their voting power was drained and when they did on your friend, their voting power was fully recharged or high. Also there's a new slider where people with significant Steem power can adjust the weight of each vote each time they vote(Not sure how this affects the upvote value you get).

How do I receive push notifications when I get votes?
There are currently no Steemit notifications. The closest thing is a third party developers progam called Steemification on Steemtools.com( https://steemit.com/steemit/@fleuri/steemit-notifications-browser-extension-download-now ). The link to Steemtools is in the top right corner on the Steemit website in the menu. It's labeled "Steem app center" when you click on the menu. There's the possibility of a notification system implemented on the Steemit website.

What are Whales? Dolphins? Minnows?
Think of these names as names of Steemitans holding a significant amount of Steem power from the largest(whales) to still large(dolphins and minnows respectively) but less comparatively to whales.
Think of vests as just another token on the Steemit network. Whatever vests you hold is a Steem power equivalent. There's a conversion rate to view the conversion. I wrote a post on it here.

First step would be to implement [ISO 639-3 codes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-3) to tag the language correctly. IMO language of a post should have a special tag, otherwise the user interface has big trouble of recognizing the language of a post.

properties (22)

@kakradetome · Aug 19 '16

This is something I've been thinking about for a while and i have a reasonable idea that i feel when implemented well, will be revolutionary. Let's create Steemit for as many languages as we can. Ultimately all languages, but in a way that won't isolate English speaking Steemitans from French speaking Steemitans for example. Let's give users the ability to choose whatever language they want and post, comment, operate normally in that language. 

But if i only understand English and log on, i should be able to see the Chinese that a Chinese Steemitan has posted, translated to English for me and vice versa. If everything can be automatically translated, we can still communicate with each other irrespective of the language. To rephrase, my selection of language should be automatically translated to the selection of language by someone in Ghana, West Africa or India for example, and vice versa.

If this can be implemented, that would awesome and revolutionary. I know it needs work, for sure. We can do it though. I'm sure there are a lot more ideas and it will be interesting to see the comments and thoughts about this. I invited your feedback. Thank you :)

Steem Power is essentially the Steem token, in an invested and non-liquid form. It is used as a measure of voting power. More Steem Power begets more voting power. If a user wants to convert their Steem Power to Steem, there is a process called "Power Down". This process takes 104 weeks and each week will convert 1/104th of Steem Power into Steem.

Steem power gives you more voting rights and influence on Steemit. The more Steem power you have, the more you can promote your own post and therefore the posts of others. Also meaning the more money you give yourself and others. You earn more just for holding Steem power and can cash out(power down) at 1% per week for 104 weeks(how many weeks in 2 years) over the period of 2 years. Once you cash out, you'll receive Steem tokens, which can be sold, reinvested etc.

The more "value" a post has, the more time it will get to accumulate new up votes. So for example if you make a post with 50 Up votes, 1 hour left till payout and a "whale" up votes it, depending on the "whale's" Steem Power your post will gain more time to accumulate votes.

For the purpose of this answer, let's assume the question is:
**Why does my payout keep changing when I've received no new upvotes or flags?**

There is only a select amount of Steem to be dispersed in a rolling 24 hour period. At any given time, the system is making an estimate of how much you will be paid based on what percentage of Steem Power-adjusted votes have been given to your post.

Let's pretend a post is currently worth $5. But then, a bunch of other posts starts getting really popular. The money to pay those popular posts needs to come from somewhere, so a portion of your post's value is reallocated to these newly-popular posts. Now your post might only be worth $4.

If by swimming you mean which is better to have more? They both have their features. With Steem dollars, you <em>currently</em> get a 10% APR interest(it could change) for having it.

Steem power gives you more influence and voting rights on Steemit and you get more just for holding long term. Additionally it helps ensure and maintain the long term health and stability of the entire Steemit network. If you ask me, I say Steem power! :D but as i said they all have their characteristics.

Steemit is a public, transparent amalgam of Facebook and Reddit, just to name a few social networks, that exists on a blockchain where you post and share original content, distributing value to the community and potentially getting paid.

This is the clearest definition in my head now based on my knowledge and experience of it so far and i hope it's helpful :)

Isn't this supposed to be "steemit" not steem? 

Steemit is the "blockchain-based social media platform where anyone can earn rewards." 

And the rewards are in the form of Steem. 

The Steem Whitepaper says Steem is "An incentivized, blockchain-based social media platform".

1 Content can't be "banned" from the blockchain - at most it can be downgraded in visibility on the front-end layer (the website that displays the contents of the blockchain)

2 The lack of clarity may be a result of non-uniform laws across the globe. What is legal in one country may be illegal in another. Entire networks or mail providers are affected in some cases where their operation is banned in a certain country. Even youtube has been banned in some countries. The emergence of a clear-cut "guideline" may not happen for years to come, if ever, in part because of the global differences in their legal framework and in part due to the difficulties involved in enforcing anything at the level of the blockchain (which is not very desirable).

There are variables to that:
- Time passed after the post was made
- Up vote count before and after you up voted
- Who up voted before you
- Steem Power you have

If your looking for the most curation reward: Up vote on the 30min count on a post with low up vote count, if it gets "viral" you will earn some reward for curating that post, again measured in these variables.

@kakradetome · Aug 19 '16

Curation rewards are not on a first come first serve basis. There is a penalty for voting anytime anytime before 30 minutes a post is made. If that's the case, all or some of the curation rewards go to the author. Curating at 30 minutes or anytime after that means 100% curation reward to the curator.

Here are some details
Voting above 30 minutes into the post, the author gets 0% whilst the curator gets 100%.
Voting above 20 minutes into the post, the author gets 54% whilst the curator gets 44%.
Voting above 10 minutes into the post, the author gets 89% whilst the curator gets 11%.
Voting above 5 minutes into the post, the author gets 97.2% whilst the curator gets 2.8%.
Voting above 3 minutes into the post, the author gets 99% whilst the curator gets 1%.

Rewards are paid out when the first payount time reaches.

Voting patterns may be affected by the social connections a blogger has. The more "connected" a blogger is, the better his chances to get more upvotes. Bloggers with a bigger history or more connections will tend to have more upvotes even if their content is worse than others with less connections. 

Imagine a scenario, if you will, where you share something on facebook and it gets 10 likes from your 100 friends. Someone with 1000 friends may get 100 likes for posting the exact same thing.

Another explanation is that a successful blogger may have been doing very well for a long time and as thus he may be the favorite choice for upvoting by the so-called "whale" voters. This kind of "relation" usually takes some time to build as an author has to prove himself that he is able to deliver quality content on a consistent basis.

Keep at it and eventually they will. Others are getting more votes because they have a track record of posting good content to the people following them. I should say that being new also doesn't mean you can't get a lot of posts. You certainly can so work at it and eventually your upvotes will go up. It can be initially hard, but don't give up, keep going, build relationship/connections/followers and consistently provide original and unique content. 

They've been trusted, they've been followed and they get upvotes because they're liked. It takes time. Make sure you're always writing great unique posts and interacting with the network, providing value to the community. You'll make new followers and that means they get to see your posts, getting you close to an upvote. The upvotes system is subjective also, it doesn't mean that your post is bad compared to others. Keep at it and keep doing

When the curve is stabilized (the numbers are different now), it will be a 50% dilution on Steem (on an annual basis there'll be 100% increase on Steem). 

Steem Dollars have no dilution. Instead they gain 10% interest per year.

Steem Power is increasing at 90% per year to counter the 100% increase in Steem supply, so the dilution of Steem Power is the difference between these two.

Content creation is not the only way to make money.

You can mine steem. The mining reward will be paid in SP.

You can be a witness who is block producer like a miner, but instead of proof of work, witness is elected by voting. Rewards are paid in SP.

There was also liquidity rewards in the Stex (Steem exchange), but that is currently disabled because it didn't work as well it should. If it comes back, you can earn steem by trading.

Risky but possible (if everything goes as planned) is just to invest in Steem by buying Steem Power. If the market cap of Steem grows, those who own Steem Power benefit the most.

@alexgr · Aug 19 '16

The moment that a definite answer is formed for this particular question, is also the moment when it will stop being true. If, say, we determine that 18'00 UTC is the best time, then if everyone posts at that time there will be a flood of posts that will not be able to get properly evaluated and thus properly upvoted. Yet that will open a "gap" in other hours of the day where posting would be so slow that the moment something interesting is posted it will get all the attention.

So, in a way, while there definitely are hours where better rewards can be obtained (due to whale voter patterns), if this worked as an incentive for synchronized posting / bulk posting, it would have the opposite effect to what the author wants to achieve.

@ned, I have an idea how we can publish this wiki on Steem's blockchain: let's compile a list of pages and chose a maintainer for each page, maintainer's job would be to keep a page updated using comments submitted by users, if comment is good and makes its way to page's content we ask community to upvote it so the author gets compensated. Later we can create a wiki website  out of those pages by just grabbing pages's content without comments.

@samupaha · Aug 19 '16

I don't think that is a good idea. Wiki should be as clear as possible. Articles don't need a lot of comments under them, the discussion page should be separate. And articles should be updateable by several different people. If original author is the only one who can make changes, then everybody else has to beg to him to make the changes they want to see.

Traditional MediaWiki is probably the best option (there might be some newer solutions also, but I haven't looked for them for a while).

The goal of the wiki / documentation center is to offer  as easily digestable information as possible. It shouldn't be used as a testing place for new ways of creating and presenting information. If there is already lack of manpower to maintain and write a wiki, new kind of system just adds more work.

Witnesses are the nodes who process and validate network transactions. They are, in a sense, the backbone of the steem network and the heart of its operations.

They are also used for some secondary (but essential) functions like maintaining a price feed that is used for determining the right rates for the value of Steem and Steem-Backed-Dollar.

@kakradetome · Aug 19 '16 (edited)

According to https://steemd.com/witnesses ,
 
On the Steem blockchain, witnesses serve a role of validating signatures and timestamping transactions by including them in blocks. A block is any group of transactions (posts, votes, transfers, etc) which update the state of the database. Each time a witness produces a block, they are paid for their service. If a witness fails to produce a block, then they are not paid, and may even be voted out.

Every round of block production begins with the shuffling of 21 witnesses: the top 19 witnesses (by vote), plus one randomly-selected standby witness, and one miner witness. Each is given a turn to produce a single block at a fixed rate of one block every 3 seconds. If a witness does not produce a block in their time slot, then that time slot is skipped, and the next witness produces the next block.

Spam is definitely discouraged and also has the potential to harm one's reputation.

Plagiarism, if done maliciously (pretending that the content of others is one's own), can also lead to harm in one's reputation and is generally perceived negatively. 

If the content that one is posting about is not their own they should at least provide a credit and/or link to the original source.

properties (22)

@minion · Aug 19 '16 (edited)

Another great comment of @alexgr I'd like to contribute the following to:
- Spam is "permanent" damage to the system, since it is backed up by a blockchain
- Plagiarism can get you in a lawsuit & can cause the company Steemit problems (_DMCA_), to further explain. Your taking someone's  work without their permission and making a profit on it, that is punishable by law.

Tip:
If you still wanna post something you haven't made a proper way how to "avoid" plagiarism is to link to the original source and add a "personal twist" to it.

<sup>Personal twist - Stating your opinion about the subject eq. adding your "stamp" on that, adding more info etc...increasing it's value.</sup>

A simple explanation of the economics would be great!  Along the same lines as what @neoxian was getting asked - "where the money comes from."   Whenever I talk about Steem I too get asked that all the time.

My explanation of Steemit usually goes:
"It's Reddit, but where upvotes actually pay.  You can make money and invest in the platform, or simply cash out and pay bills.  It is funded essentially through the traders of Steem along with institutional investors signing up to be apart of a new form of next-gen user reviews and content."

But I know this isn't 100% accurate and I feel like a better more succinct explanation is out there.

The Steem Backed Dollar will always have sufficient backing in terms of Steem tokens to ensure a price near 1 USD. It doesn't matter if the Steem token is inflated or devalued. More Steem tokens will then be used to back the Steem Backed Dollar.

properties (22)

@nathanbrown · Aug 19 '16

That only works if there is enough demand for Steem for the Steem tokens to have enough value to be able to back the SMD near 1 USD. It is theoretically possible that the value of Steem can drop so low that there isn't enough Steem that can be allocated to back SMD. Also, where is the Steem coming from that backs the USD?

Upvotes and downvotes count toward increasing (or decreasing) one's reputation, irregardless if it is on posts or comments - both count. Comments (or posts) don't need to be upvoted by whales to increase one's reputation. This can be easily performed by non-whale votes. However whale votes can help increase reputation faster.

The negative vote is the "flag" button (upper right in each post or comment) where one can flag the content for being abusive or having some other kind of serious problem. Flagging/downvoting should be rarely used since it also has a negative impact on the reputation of the poster that receives a downvote / flag.

@alexgr · Aug 19 '16

Blockchains will typically require some kind of mechanism to establish consensus. Proof of Work and Proof of Stake are such mechanisms. 

In Proof of Work the requirement in order to "extend" the chain of the blockchain with new and validated transactions, is to prove that one has sufficient processing power. A process called "hashing" is used for this purpose. 

In Proof of Stake, the stakeholders of the currency assume the role of extending the chain and validating the transactions.

For now I'll help like this:

Price: select a price you want to buy(exchange SBD for Steem) by clicking on a price from either of the charts 
(_I recommend the sell orders chart price, for a fast/relatively fast transfer_)
____
Amount put: 1 
____
Total: Here you put how much SBD would you like to spend on steem and the amount of steem will change automatically, click by steem & wait or if you want it now, by instantly but at a higher price. 
_Don't let the decimals confuse you, eq. 1.645460 > 1.64_
_____
To sell steem the process is similar, pick a price you want to sell Steem for Steem Dollars, put in the amount how much Steem would you like to sell and the Total: will show you how much SBD will you get for that amount of steem at that price.
____
You can also cancel your order and there is no transaction fee.

@pierce-the-veil · Aug 19 '16

@pierce-the-veil: In response to your inquiry @innuendo, i understand you position yet I believe you have misapprehended my intentions.

I do it for a number of reasons, number one because I CAN and specifically because no one else "sees" the importance of consistent tagging. Does not a pic, gif or blue tag catch your eye when scrolling through a myriad of comments?

Quite Simply, for stand out visibility, could care less if they click on it, just so long as they stop notice my comment and either reply with value or move on. Also because people scroll fast and are typically lazy when reading comments if they do not stand out.

While i don't share your displeasure of this "tagging" activity, I can certainly see how you have come to your position. You are entitled to your opinion of course.

If you were to dig a little deeper, it would be known that I have given a lot of time and thought into each of my comments. Although I am very active, it is not for the purpose of shamefully "spamming" posts. 

Should i feel shamed or upset that i have chosen a consistent posting practice that has already proven itself to some degree? I am open to suggestions? This is after all a social media platform that commends originality?

Shame that such a simple "formatting" concern would preclude you from seeing the value of my efforts here on steemit.com

Best to You.

Some of my friends think Steem is a scam and have shared these pictures explaining the same, I dont think STEEM is a scam but would like comments, views and opinions on these pictures to be more confident and spread the facts not false things. <br>

EDIT: So there's one more article one of my friend has shared with me which talks about ugly truth of steem. Waiting for any comments, replies from @ned or anyone else who can explain these things.<br>

For everyone thinking bots are bad, think of them in this context:
Bots are like dogs, some are good dogs who have good owners, others are not. Some are stray dogs, others have a leash and a caring owner. The point is, who's the owner. Caring one? As every caring owner,he will always try to "correct" the bad owners behavior, to teach him how to treat he's dog well. Bots are here to stay people, the only thing "we" gotta make sure is that they are proper vaccinated, checked by the vet regularly, well cared for and are not running wild without a leash. 
Benefits:
- They support "low SP" members
- They fight bad bots by getting better
- They "hunt down" Plagiarism 
- Compensate for inflation

Do curation rewards depend on the amount of Steem Power (SP) that you hold?

If there are two users, one holds 10k SP and the other 1k SP, and they upvote the same post roughly at the same time and the post goes viral afterwards, will they receive similar curation rewards or will those rewards be proportional to their SP holdings?

Is it true that payout money is coming from new investment in Steem?

properties (22)

@innuendo · Aug 19 '16

No, it's not accurate and it's misleading to say so. When you cash out (i.e. make a payout) you effectively decrease your investment in Steem and at the same time somebody else increases their investment in Steem. So it's not fair to just mention the "new investment" and skip the fact that at the same time an existing investment stops to exist. 

Payout money is always in the form of Steem tokens, which effectively are shares in the Steem system. For your convenience (and to hedge you from price volatility) those tokens are packaged as Steem Dollars, but still this is nothing else but virtual tokens or shares. 

Those tokens happen to have value (as they are shares in an enterprise which has a real market value). When you cash out you sell those tokens (or shares) and somebody else buys them from you. So these are just shares of a company changing hands: one person exits, the other takes their place.

Let's consider an example: If Mark Zuckerberg was smart, he could reward the most popular Facebook pages with shares of the Facebook company. You could then cash out by selling those shares and somebody would surely buy them from you. Again, it would be just shares changing hands, as they do everyday when shares are publicly traded.

I saw someone sold their account to monetise their SP. Is there a market place for this? Is this encouraged?

Extending this idea, could it be developed further to have a market for SP-collateralised loans (backed by smart contracts and a powering down account)? [Sorry, probably going off topic]

I am trying to find ways to add value to the Steemit community and as @ned mentioned, I’d like to give some love to these projects. I feel that @ned’s message is important enough to translate into Spanish so our Spanish speaking audience can more easily be informed of the FAQ and Wikee projects. Ideally, I’d like to see a complete FAQ and Wikee in Spanish and other languages as well, but for now, assisting with the translation of this post is a first step.

Did you know that there are approximately 427 million people in the world who speak Spanish? English to Spanish translation is a skill I have that hopefully will be valued. I am open to constructive criticism of my translation as I am fairly new to translating content about cryptocurrencies and social networks. And, in case you are wondering, I DID NOT JUST COPY THE TEXT INTO GOOGLE TRANSLATE. If that were the case, the quality of the translation would be much lower (in my biased opinion). Thanks.

La primera fase de las preguntas más frequentes (PMF) y Wikee de Steem: Consolidación de Conocimiento

Muchos lo han pedido, algunos lo han buscado, y ahora vamos a crearlo. Necesitamos su ayuda para crear las mejores PMF y Wikee que una criptomoneda y/o sitio de redes sociales jamas haya tenido. Esto será para nuevos usuarios, periodistas y más, así que hagamos las PMF y Wikee grandes otra vez.

Para empezar, hagamos unas cuantas cosas en este artículo:

1/ Agregen sus preguntas sobre Steem y Steemit abajo que creen que se han hecho mas frecuentemente. (a/ Favor de agregar una sola pregunta por comentario de alto nivel. b/ Favor de agregar nuevas preguntas al hilo)

2/ Responden a las preguntas de los demás :)

3/ Incluyan enlaces a cualquier artículo que sea pertinente a un Wikee de Steem / Steemit. (a/ Favor de agregar el enlace con la siguiente información y estructura: Tema / Fecha publicada / Autor / Enlace / Descripción de una sola frase.)

Unos cuantos usuarios (yo sé de @someguy123 y @dragon) han empezado proyectos de Wikis. Este hilo tiene objetivo de ayudarles a ellos y a Steemers y Steemitans igual a llevar los proyectos de Wikee y PMF al siguiente nivel al consolidar la mejor información y conseguir las mejores respuestas. Estaré observando este hilo cuidadosamente y contestando preguntas junto con otros miembros del equipo de Steemit incluyendo a @dan y @theoretical para ayudar a desarollar las mejores respuestas hasta un nivel técnico.

Por el bien de tiempo, consideremos esto como un proyecto de un mes de duración, aunque es de esperar que podamos juntar las preguntas, respuestas y artículos mas pertinentes mucho antes.

Los proyectos de las PMF y Wikee podrían utilizar mucho amor. Steemit tiene interés en contratar o apoyar a cualquier Steemian emprendedora para ayudar con la tarea. Favor de ponerse en contacto conmigo en steemit.chat (@ned) si tiene interés en ayudar :)

What is the difference between Steem and Steemit?

properties (22)

@innuendo · Aug 19 '16

*Steem* is the name of the whole blockchain-based & censorship-resistant system (and also a name for its base token). Steem belongs to anybody who holds the token: Steem or Steem Power.

Whereas *Steemit* is a privately-owned (mainly by @ned & @dan) company and a website which offers you a secure way to interact with Steem, the system.  So Steemit is just a visual layer, an interface. In the future there will probably be many more websites and mobile apps similar to Steemit. A good example of a Steemit alternative is [a mobile app called *Steemy*](https://steemit.com/steemit/@steemapp/introducing-steemy-fully-native-ios-android-apps-for-steem).

Hi. I did a post 2 weeks back where I was mentioning 10 Q&A that were a bit more advanced. The link is https://steemit.com/steemit/@anduweb/steemit-10-advanced-questions-and-answers but here they are too:

### 1. Why is the post reward amount higher before the payout than after?

*Answer:* The post reward shown before the payout includes the entire amount (author + curators) as opposed to after the Payout point when it only shows the amount paid to the author.
To get the full info, head over to steemd.com on the post's page and checkout this section:

total_payout_value is what the post's reward amount will show after the Payout and what goes to the author.
curator_payout_value is what was paid to the people who upvoted the post, the curators

### 2. If a comment on my post gets a big reward, do I get anything as the author of the post?

*Answer:* Unfortunately, no. There was initially a 50/50 split but has been changed to 100% for the author of the comment. Be sure to upvote that good comment early so that you get some curation reward

### 3. Do comments upvoting actions also have the penalty in the first 30 minutes like the posts? (proportional amount is moved to the author depending on the moment of the upvote for the first 30 minutes - e.g. 50% reward at 15 minutes after the post is created, 0% after 30 minutes.)

*Answer:* No.

### 4. Does downvoting bring any reward to the curator?

*Answer:* No, but it helps the community greatly if you curate the spam posts, trolls, bad bots etc.

### 5. Does downvoting use up my Voting Power?

*Answer:* Yes.

### 6. Does authoring new posts or comments use up my Voting Power?

*Answer:* No.

### 7. When is my Steem Power taken into consideration for the post or curation reward, at the time of the action (new post, upvote, comment) or at the time of the Payout?

### If I have more SP when the Payout takes place than when I posted the comment, does that mean the reward is higher?

*Answer:* At the time the action takes place (e.g. When you author a post/comment). No, Powering Up in the meantime won't affect the reward of a previously submitted post.

### 8. When can I Power Down?

*Answer:* If you created your account and received a sign up bonus (the 3 Steem), you will need to Power Up at least 10x what you received before you can power down

### 9. Where can I see who I follow and who follows me?

*Answer:* Initially there wasn't a built in option so the best place was jesta's https://steemstats.com/.
Now all you need to do is go to the user profile page and click on the undelined number of followed or followers in the top header.

### 10. Why aren't the exact timestamps mentioned on posts or comments?

*Answer:* They are, just hover the clock icon for a post or the x hours ago on the comments and you'll get the exact timestamp.

### 11. [Fun one]: What would be the reward of a post if everyone would vote only for that post on that day (author + curators)?

Answer: 56,700 Steem ( split 50% in Steem Power and 50% in SBD - Steem Dollars)
The actual reward for the author/curators depends on the time the upvotes are posted as if earlier than 30 minutes then some of the reward of the curators goes back to the author.

### 12. [BONUS ONE] Where can I see what new platform improvements are being worked on?

Answer: Check out https://test.steemit.com. Login with your standard Username and Password and check them out. These may not be all but some in the final stage will show up nicely.

@ned, I'm really glad that you've kick-started this process for building FAQs & Wikee.

Once we are done with this, would you consider doing a similar thing for the [steem.io website](https://steem.io/) ? 

I mean triggering a community effort to upgrade the website both in terms of content (no information about the dev team, no real roadmap, no endorsements from famous people) and in terms of style (it's not bad but does it really look like an official website of a 150M enterprise?).

Also, I think we badly need two professionally made videos:
- An introductory video/animation for newcomers. Again, the existing one is not bad, but I think at this stage we could do much better with all the funds and creativity available here on Steem.
- A video taking advantage of all the endorsements we have received so far. I mean a compilation which looks and feels similar to [this video](https://vimeo.com/172092514) (it's a parody, but what I mean is the way it was done). [Here is a post](https://steemit.com/anarchy/@kennyskitchen/the-40-anarchists-you-want-to-be-following-on-steemit) by @kennyskitchen which has already done almost all the heavy-lifting of compiling the data.

I think for new users, even more if completly new to crypto, it is pretty hard to understand why there are 3 different currencies needed and what they are good for/when they will get what etc. 

IMO best way to explain would be to have some graphic which shows the "lifecycle" of steem. And maybe some short note about the important timeframes/conversions and such. So they get pretty quick an overview about everything. And then explain why its gonna be converted, why it has to take 2 years, why ... why ... why ... 

If there's a not too long catchy graphic without 700 sites of text, then people might read and understand it. That would prolly answer big part of the questions already.

👍 alifton

properties (23)vote details (1)

@alifton · Aug 19 '16

Both are dependent on the voting weight of the voter.  People with higher Steem Power have more voting weight than people with less.  The site also reduces your voting power a little which each vote placed in a 24 hour period based on an algorithm to help curb voting abuse.  This voting power is returned after 24 hours have passed since you cast that vote.  The reduction in voting power isn't much until you cast over 20 or more votes in one single 24 hour period, after which it begins to decrease more rapidly (but will still be returned once the 24 hour mark has passed.)

The total post reward is split between the Author of a post and its Curators (Voters).  That split is a 75%/25% with the majority share going to the author.  The reward is paid out in the form of both Steem Dollars and Steem Power.

Before my question I suggest to the UX designers to have a special format for Articles with more than 200 replies, perhaps with a minimum of 1000 lines of text, where clicking is required to open up more but less-relavant data.

Now for my question.  How do we secure our account without using a third-party?  If we choose to use Steemit, does our private key ever cross the internet, or is the transaction created client-side?

FINALLY! I asked dan to get us support to do that the first week of july. @ned what do you think about a sticky with some good posts especially those about "steemit= scam" and the one with "where does money come from"?  I think a sticky is necessary with that because people are just lost and incredulous when they land here :D

Hi @ned I think this is a great idea.  Please consider my [Dummies Guide to Using Steemit.Chat Effectively Everyday!](https://steemit.com/steemit/@firepower/dummies-guide-to-using-steemit-chat-effectively-everyday) 

I can write something more specific for the site (if/when you start the DM system here) or an updated version on the Steemit.Chat for Steemit Wiki.

What is the Steemit whitepaper and what's its use?

👍 ned, kakradetome, bhavnapatel68

properties (23)vote details (3)

@ned · Aug 20 '16

To clarify there is a Steem Whitepaper, however, there is not yet a Steemit Whitepaper.

Steem == Cryptocurrency and Blockchain 

Steemit == Website that pulls data from Steem

The Steem Whitepaper was written to describe the mechanics of the token system that makes decentralized content incentives and distribution possible in a way that can improve web technologies across the board.  It also is applicable to Steemit, one of the first websites to plug into the Steem blockchain.  Users who have read the Steem Whitepaper will understand better how their interactions with Steemit are actually interactions with Steem, the decentralized network.

A common criticism to Steem is that the Steem Power distribution is uneven and a small number of early adopters hold most of the assets. When [looking at the issue closer](https://steemit.com/steem-stats/@hisnameisolllie/steem-distribution-revisited-top-steem-power-holders-to-distribute-up-to-34-3-of-their-control-over-the-next-12-months) we notice that this is not exactly so, and the situation will get better over time. Still, related to this issue, it would be important to know who exactly has the keys to the @steemit account that holds so much of total assets? And what is the plan for using those assets? Some potential investors fear the scenario where the early adopters turn evil and run with the latecomers money. How do we best alleviate this fear?

My question is, can we have more of a layman's explanation of Steem Dollars? I understand that is in kind a sort of "debt instrument," but the interest rate is variable and is currently at 10%...how would it change? Who is in charge of changing it? How would the Steem Dollar be impacted with declining a declining interest rate? I've been reading some discussions surrounding steem dollars but most of them deal with how to address certain concerns...I just would like to know if there's a "knowledge base" somewhere for Steem Dollars so I can gain more insight from the ongoing discussion. Thanks.
