Beyond legit..its too legit to guit:)

cool! Yeah, if it wasn't legit, this newsfeed would be a war zone! I knew it was real after one week. Then I realized that it was designed by the Wizard (Dan).

great testimony! :)

It's as real as chemtrails! ;)

I paid off a $1000 off an old debt yesterday with the proceeds.  I never made that kind of money with money making opportunity before. 

I paid a fee but for consolation I consider them Canadian Steem Dollars ;-)

Thanks for this. I am new here but was starting to realize how legit it seemed. The first time I saw it a few weeks ago I refrained from signing up due to skepticism. Then a friend told me about her experience and I was in the mood to blog anyways, so I hopped on and am already addicted and leaning toward believing it's totally legit. This helped sway me more. :)

I regret not getting involved sooner, but I'm happy I'm here now. My plan going forward is to keep using the site on a regular basis and keep putting the majority of my earnings into Steem Power. I don't expect I'll ever have front-page popularity for my blogs, but over time I think it will be very worthwhile.

It's great to know that it's working for you. I wasn't too sure about it myself but decided to hop on board today and test this out for myself. Your post is certainly reassuring! Cheers!

How does it work?

very legit

This is something that has concerned me as well. I started using steemit since yesterday, but am o-so-happy to read that it is legit. :D Thank you for confirming this!

Is perfect paid

That's awesome mate. Glad you've been able to make some real money from Steemit. Would you be able to make a guide on what you did exactly step by step for us complete and total noobs!? :D

im coming to bali soon :)

Just sign on steemit! It`s amazing!!!

Great!!!

How wonderful that there is such a site!

Legit!

Somehow I'm sure you won't get your dollars :D

Steem content is rewarded based on a voting system, described well here:

https://steemit.com/steem/@smooth/voting-is-a-popularity-contest

Not that payment is made in Steem not fiat and Steem value will fluctuate over time.

The developers were able to mine a huge portion of the total Steem supply due to the relative complexity if the mining process at launch. The fairness of the process has been a matter of debate:

"First, they did a typical instamine/flashmine/freemine scam (yes scam) where they released

(1) no compiled wallets (2) no instructions to build (3) incomplete and inaccurate instructions to mine

This wasn't bad enough. After the first 12 or so hours of mining, all their miners crashed, exposing that they were mining to 100 different witnesses to hide the fact that they (he) was one entity. The devs wouldn't have been caught except that their mining instructions were wrong, and no one else was mining because, even if they couldn't get the client to build, they entered mining commands that caused them to get no blocks. The devs will claim this isn't on purpose, but check the original thread. You'll see that no one mined a block when the dev's miners were down.

Then, as I have stated many times, when their miners crashed again, I mined a significant amount of steem that night in their absence. To prevent my vesting that and driving the price of vests up on them, they relaunched to ensure COMPLETE CONTROL AND CENTRALIZATION.

After the relaunch, no one would challenge them on mining because if they did, the devs would just relaunch this scamcoin again. So, no one who pays attention (and the people who have the means to procure whatever hashes they want are also the people who are paying attention), would challenge them on the hashes. As they hoped, no one did and they completely dominated the hashes for 1 week."

The "stealth" mining by developers raised a lot of Steem which are now being deployed in part to attract new users.

"At the conclusion of the pure-PoW mining phase, all of the coins from the developer mining accounts were merged into the transparent 'steemit' account, with a stated plan to sell them off to pay for development and distribute them for free to new users (each new account requires 10 STEEM funding). These actions have occurred and are transparent on the blockchain."
