As you know, the usefulness of applications comes from the fact that they solve people's problems and make it easier for them to solve various needs or help in everyday life.
When we reach for solutions on the Internet, we are most often looking for something that will help us with various everyday activities. We look for recipes, we plan a route, we communicate with friends via instant messengers. We look for a partner...
Technology has entered our everyday life so much that we usually don't even pay attention to it;)
So the question is what of these things could blurt improve to become even more useful?
Write your suggestions.
BLURT needs a good search tool, the tags don't work, if I want to read something specific it's a pain to find it, I have to remember the author and go to his blog to review it completely until I find what I'm looking for and the same thing happens to me with my own writings, I don't know why I use hastags that don't take me anywhere. Thank you
yes i agree. this is a matter of developing better FE.
It would be nice if videos from Rumble would render in Blurt like Youtube videos & Twitter posts, it makes for a cleaner experience while keeping the viewer in the Blurt post instead of redirecting them to a different platform. 🖖
Since I have a long weekend, I should be able to find some time to add Rumble embeds. Since I added blurt.media embed support, I have a better understanding of how it works, so adding Rumble should be fairly straightforward.
If you know of any other video platforms that could do with embed support, you can let me know and I'll look into it whenever I have time to do so. Better yet, you can add a comment to the GitLab issue regarding this. You can find the GitLab issue here.
IIRC, it was you who mentioned this to me a long time ago in the Blurt Discord server.
I'll tag @drutter here to let him know that I will add embed support for Rumble.
Thanks for hopefully finding time to add Rumble embedding, Saboin.
Good job, works great~! 🖖
Yeah, I've been asking for Rumble videos to embed for years...
It's nice to see the BlurtMedia videos embed, not just YouTube now.
@saboin is this difficult to grasp?
It may seem repetitive, but I consider it one of the first needs for me...
I think that in Blurt one of the most immediate and relevant needs is to be able to trade the token in more known and used exchanges in the world, such as Binance, Coinex, Kucoin, Gateio, or also Coinbase. I do not know if this is a job of the witnesses or whose, but yes more users would occupy this web3 if there was this facility because not all of us want to work with the btc-Blurt pair of the Probit exchange and neither have frequent problems in Tribaldex because they are late to pay as well as Hive-Engine that almost every day are reporting by discord that they have problems with transactions and users have to ask for tickets to solve our case.
I think everything else takes a back seat when that general need of the users has not been solved. If Blurt came out of a fork of Steem and has the same features as Hive except for the downvote, I don't understand why the exchange issue is still on standby.
That's my point of view, which many may agree and many others may not.
Greetings and thanks for allowing us to answer your question.
Good day 🤗
For the top 15 exchanges (e.g., Binance, Coinbase, Kraken), the listing fee is up to 300K USDT per exchange. For the top 50 exchanges (e.g., MEXC, Upbit, Poloniex), the fee ranges from 10K to 90K USDT. If you're ready to pay, I'll fill out the form right now 🤣😂
As a bonus, note that paying doesn’t guarantee that we won’t be delisted in case of low volume 😅
So it seems that a shitcoin has more investment than the blurt token, because I have found several of them in the main exchanges. I imagine that more factors added to the investment are what make them handled in those exchanges.
Thanks for your "funny answer", I understand the matter a little better.
yes because they are shitcoins ;) they work like this:
they create a lot of hype for investors and lure them with sky-high APR or other lies, building a lot of hype and tension among them even before the coin is released. When they are released, investors load up the money and the creators slowly start to withdraw and for a profit, for example, they add coins to the next exchanges for part of the profits so that the money flows.
They do not invest anything more in a coin built in this way. They do not develop it most often and it does not cost anything. On blurt, on the other hand, there are people who take care of the development and maintenance of the network and the network itself provides specific services. This costs money and it is a completely different level.
Btw, so-called shell companies on the real market that make a jump on investors' money also earn the most because fraud does not cost as much as real development of something ;]
Regarding Blurt front end:
Regarding Blurt economics:
Regarding Blurt ecosystem:
I think this was too much but... hey why not?
I'll be thinking on more about real life use cases of Blurt.
Thanks for opening this interesting thread @khrom
Cheers
Flag spammers/abusers
This is a matter for each frontend developer individually. I personally do not accept such solutions as causing more harm than good. Spam should be fought by discouraging spammers as an unprofitable activity for them instead of by flagging and banning.
BBD (Blurt Backed Dollars) like SBD or HBD, a stable coin. If it could also be staked for short term (like HIVE = 3 days unstaking period) and get an interesting APR, that would add great value in my humble opinion... and this may need something like:
it will never happen. BBD was not introduced on purpose due to the manipulative nature of Stable coins. Generally, most current witnesses agree that this is a harmful solution.
as for APR on blurt tokens, that's a different issue. I have an idea myself and it is related to limiting spam, but that's not a topic for now.
Funding system like HIVE (why not to imitate things that just work).
we have a DAO system although it has worked badly so far and it will be fixed, removed or changed in principle in the next HF. (voting is ongoing) There are many reasons to do this.
https://blurtwallet.com/proposals
Buy Blurt with debit/credit cards.
We are already working in this direction. Nalexadre is developing a gateway for creating accounts for now
Witness dedicated page where you can find their project info. Requirement for witnesses to build their projects info and updates on their dedicated account blog. (Pinned project's main info post).
https://blurtwallet.com/~witnesses
you come here and there each witness has a link to their page. otherwise it is not possible because the lack of centralization makes each witness act on their own terms.
Apart from that, thanks for the suggestions :)
Thanks so much for stepping by and fiving feedback on my comment.
I see your point about flagging spammers/abusers and that this is a frontend issue. Well It would be great that using a blacklist frontends could "flag" which I mean, point out them as spammers/abusers so people don't vote them...
I don't se why a stable coin is harmful, maybe I have not the enough tech knoledge to understand it...
I didn't remember about the BDF, my fault, so bussy in real life, sometimes I forget stuff.
Witnesses should be more active comunicating what's going on.
Have a great weekend ;)
there is such a list. it is called coallist and on the discord chat or through flags in posts you can report such accounts and they are then marked like this:
more about that here:

blurt.blog use this.
as for hbd let me use gpt because it's a lot of writing and I see that it spits out a reasonable result:
Summary of HBD Issues and Blurt Developers' Decision
Main Issues with HBD
Susceptibility to manipulation – Speculators can artificially inflate the price of HBD and then exchange it for HIVE, allowing them to accumulate more tokens and drain the ecosystem.
Lack of stability – Although HBD is intended to be a stablecoin, its price often deviates from $1, undermining its credibility as a payment method.
No real backing – The token is not backed by assets such as gold, dollars, or Bitcoin, making it vulnerable to devaluation during financial crises.
Risk of a downward spiral – During sharp declines in HIVE’s value, HBD conversions may not function effectively, leading to further destabilization of the ecosystem.
Why Blurt Developers Abandoned HBD
Lack of control over stability – The Hive system uses algorithmic conversion mechanisms that do not always maintain HBD at $1. Blurt’s developers recognized this as a serious risk.
Protection against market manipulation – By excluding HBD, Blurt prevents large investors from exploiting price fluctuations to accumulate wealth at the expense of regular users.
No need for such a token – Unlike Hive, Blurt opted for a simplified economic model that does not require an algorithmic stablecoin.
Avoiding Hive’s mistakes – Hive has faced ongoing issues with HBD’s stability, so Blurt eliminated this system to ensure a more predictable and sustainable ecosystem.
Final Conclusion
Blurt developers abandoned HBD because it is unstable, vulnerable to manipulation, and lacks real backing. They chose a simpler financial model without an algorithmic stablecoin to create a more reliable and transparent ecosystem.
Blurt needs a better FAQ, a better logo, and better notification of changes to the platform. And it's way too hard to buy BLURT. And our page on coinmarketcap/gecko is covered in disinfo/errors/omissions. Blurt could also have a better search function. We need to get the basics working properly, get people interested, help them get involved.
Thanks for the suggestions :)
I agree with them, except logo. Logo it's ok.
I think it will be nice if blurt can come up with their own gaming platform establish on the blurt Blockchain. It will even really help to draw massive adoption most especially in the Blockchain space
I dream about it myself. I even have an idea, I just have to master the issue of logging in using a blurt account and I think I'll start doing something about it.
thanks for the opinion
I don't know if this is coming late but then just like other Blockchain platforms blurt needs to have a marketing and promotional team across the world to due with onboarding and educating.
We need to promote the platform to help attract investors and writers with skills, blurt is a blog and a blog needs good contents and educative ones too also for blurt to grow we need meetups and seminars collaboration with other brands and business.
Blurt can be used as a payment method so we need to get it into some known exchanges despite the value of the coin blurt has potentials.
Maybe I'll make a detailed post about that.
this is discussion forum and answer is never to late :D Quite the opposite ;)
I also agree with what you are saying, however, you need people who want to deal with it, understanding that Blurt is not a company that will pay them, but rather as co-owners of the blockchain and investors, they can take the initiative themselves and start working on this topic by building something here that will simultaneously, for example, promote the network and allow them to earn on it in the future, both on the multiplied value of their own shares and on the fact that they will gain the support of some part of the community, which will translate into, for example, donations for their activities or increased upvotes to support your activity.
You can organize something here in such a way that seeing the benefits from it, you will start such a promotion and gain the support of others for this purpose.
On the other hand, the best way to promote, in a decentralized system, is to simply build some service of your own in the style of splinterlands and promote your business, attracting users who at the same time become part of the blurt ecosystem.
