RE: Programming Diary #38: Balancing crypto and attention economies to maximize STEEM's value
I see you've been busy. I finally figured out how to use /promoted and have been promoting posts here and there. I like @o1eh's idea of making those posts part of the left side of the home page, which is currently empty.
One question I do have is: how long is the post promoted? I ask because if I go to the promoted section right now, only one of my posts pops up.
Promotion only lasts until the post pays out. I also like @o1eh's idea of adding those posts to the left sidebar. Other past suggestions have been to make /promoted the landing page, or to interleave promoted posts into the regular feeds. Anything to give it more visibility could increase its adoption.
One of my toy projects in the past also provided a different sort of visibility for burning after payout time (and also for burning STEEM, instead of SBDs), but that's ineffective right now.
That would be my favourite option... and I now believe that it could be done. I'll have to do a little more research.
I hope I can reply to your post in detail. Unfortunately, I won't be able to do it today.
I've been recording the effects of a new version of the trending algorithm over the last five days. I hope to be able to report on this soon...
Mine, too. But I'll be happy with anything.
