RE: Building Steem's Meme Community With Memehub
My name is Jeremy Meek. My personal steem is acct is @aninsidejob. This is a one man show currently. I completely own it, designed it, and funded it. I cashed in my btc to hire a pro dev team to code the foundational minimum viable product of memehub (web/apps/steem integration) and fund the Memehub acct to give out rewards. I go to Virginia Tech in the USA for computer science and plan to be able to work on the site myself after graduation. It is a MERN stack application which is what I’m learning as well as the steem JavaScript libraries.
I’ll be doing an AMA with @steemQA in the next couple days. I am all in on this project and have the community’s best interest in mind. This project is a result of me, an avid memer, being disappointed by all the meme related steem stuff really not being adequate for memers. I understand hesitation in trusting me given a lot of the money grabbing projects and scammy stuff. But Memehub is here to stay. You don’t have to believe that cause I will show it.
hey, nice work on introducing a new platform Jeremy. Do you have any plans or ideas on how to encourage the memehub users to holdd onto their steem? Otherwise this just becomes another way for users to extract from the system.
Do you have any ideas for making it a sustainable business? To allow you to fund the development and maintenance of the project.
My approach is trying to keep flexibility so that Memehub can adapt. If getting memehub users to hold their steem turns out to be a concern, then we could implement a minimum Steem Power amount to be held by the user before they can exchange their LULz, or something to that extent for example.
Since Memehub is accessible to non-crypto users, the ad based model becomes feasible for sustainability. I have other ideas for monetization such that it is not at the expense of the users, steem, or memehub itself.
