RE: Yours - Steemit's first competitor ?

in #crypo-news8 years ago

Yours could gain traction in the Bitcoin community faster than Steemit but there are some big differences between these platforms. Any ideas who is backing Yours?

1). Users must self-fund with Bitcoin to get started and participate in tips
2). Early curators get paid by later curators, so how do you keep a bot from ruling this platform?
3). Can the Bitcoin blockchain scale to support the volume generated by a large social media user community?

Sort:  

all your questions apply here too... so, same platform, same problems.

1). Users must self-fund with Bitcoin to get started and participate in tips
yeah, same as here... but here they give you 10$ worth of steem to start.
2). Early curators get paid by later curators, so how do you keep a bot from ruling this platform?
err... same as here too..
3). Can the Bitcoin blockchain scale to support the volume generated by a large social media user community?
again.. same as here.

I didn't see the concept of STEEM Power on Yours. I believe that makes Steemit unique.

How about these differences...

  1. The up voting algorithm on Steemit also encourages human evaluation of good content versus just tipping out to bloggers ahead of whales.
  2. I didn't see the concept of weighted voting by those most invested in the platform.

Granted, the Yours platform is still early beta and maybe these features are in their pipeline. That brings up a very Intersting question to THIS community and the Whales. What is anything in the Steemit platform is proprietary??? Can another bigger, more funded crypto-Titan just rip off the best features? I hope not, but would love to learn more.

I have no idea sorry!
