How would you rate the quality of Blurt compared to other crypto-based platforms with a blog function? On a scale of 1-10 (1 = very poor, 10 very good)?
I think that leaves us just rating the forks of steem against each other and in that case my opinion is that blurt is the finest one of them. The reason for that is the transaction fees. In fact in other ways the platforms are very similar to each other. I think that the transaction fees are what are likely to ensure that blurt remains sustainable over time.
Please understand that I have not been chasing features, the only feature that we have added to blurt really is the transaction fees, otherwise we just tweaked some of the protocol distribution settings to deal with how people earn coins. Frankly, I still think that both steem and Hive are very good and that they both should be concerned that it doesn't cost anything to store stuff forever on their blockchains.
I think what is neglected on all Chains is user-friendliness, ergonomics and the browsing experience. More so on one and less so on the other.
What is abundant on one platform does not exist or is not visible on the other, for example so-called communities (which I prefer to call thematic interest groups). I don't see them on blurt. Do they exist?
Someone who knows the ropes once said to me that every system has to be oriented towards the absolute stupidest, so that the user-friendliness can be improved. Professionals and technicians often make the mistake of not taking seriously that non-technicians have a completely different view of the digital environment than they do.
What do you mean by fees? The fact that every vote costs me something and every publication on my blog?
