Hey everybody,
Couple of people in the community have come to me recently kind of like oh my God the sky is falling you said you're going to make a new chain and won't work on Larimer Graphene stuff anymore.
So let's break that down into two pieces:
Sky is falling
No
Jacob doesn't want to do graphene, due to the low quality of the community
Yes
so all right now we've started with those two very simple pieces I realize people probably do have questions I also realize people may have suggestions and I'd like to hear both so that's what this post is for.
The mere fact that you actually afford the Blurt community the opportunity to give their input and suggestion speaks volumes for this space. I am so glad I am here and will do whatever I can to assist in its growth and public awareness! You guys are amazing!
Hi @jaynie... Welcome to Blurt, glad to see you here!
Thank you lovely! Super happy to be here!
im so lost. i have to have liquid to do ANYTHING? - so, if i dont have a 'sponsor' i cant 'chain' hmmm. i understand why its there, to cut spam etc, but ... yeah i dunno. we'll see i guess
In addition to having a sponsor you can just buy blurt.
Storing the posts is very not free.
All the fees do is account for that simple reality.
In fact I would like to see fees go up further, they have been serving as a very effective content quality filter.
I'd like to make it even more effective.
Here is why it's there:

And it is much more like: if you do not pay, you may not post. Pretty important in fact.
Thank you for the offer to do proposals and questions.
Seven months of excisting is no a great history of a blockchain. A change to the next chain is done fast. So we must not defeat Blurt by blood or get depressions because of leaving it behind. There are no great traditions but communities already, hardly to complete after leaving 4 years of Steem tradition. When there is a 1:1 airdrop, we should move on right now, and must not keep Blurt open.
But a lot of bloggers like to keep their postings inside their private blog. The second time of losing all the former blog's content is a second torture for any real blogger.
And nobody knows, what exactly happens on the new chain. Are there new algorithms, or is it the same? We cannot really say what is good and what is not so good without knowledge about the new one. According to experience new is always better than old in IT. But how should we decide seriously what to do, without any knowledge? What should we ask without the knowledge how it is working?
Of course, we know Graphene is full of backdoors, faults and greedy principles of those investors, guided Larimer to the coming out of Steem. Steem always has been the lie to be a free blockchain. Steemit was never uncensored. So what exactly is the new steemy one? We should know before we have been asked for our opinions.
All new and zero code re-use.
PS I don't think there are back doors. I think steem's economy contained places where value would deliberately accrue to certain parties who had more knowledge.
Hi, pardon my ignorance.
What is the new COSMOS chain?
Have you considered allowing individual accounts to make their own mute lists and perhaps make it possible to subscribe to another account's mute list?
That way you can block accounts you don't want to see without dictating what everyone else sees. While still letting people change their minds as they wish.
Also, perhaps there could be a user setting that allows you to automatically view each blog with the author's mute settings.
peakd recently implemented a system like this and I think it's a really good idea.
Also, are there any plans to implement a "community" system?
Also, are there any plans to implement a delegation system?
The delegation system is massively under-utilized on steemit and hive.
Delegation is vastly superior to patreon, especially with all the arbitrary censorship on patreon recently.
I should have logged out some time ago. Have voted past my normal limit and other things that need my attention, but couldn't leave as I'm excited you are here. Out of all the people I've encountered on Steemit/Hive you gave me many things to stalk in my thoughts reactions to your observations/statements.
I'm not sure if you mean delegations such as you have given on Hive. I've never considered them as I always wanted full control of my vote so I could curate naturally and control what was being upvoted. So I remain ignorant on how this is done (and how you did it).
I do know that the type of delegation you did on the other chains does exist here. I was encouraged to apply for one (I didn't as I don't have time for such responsibility) by someone who themselves delegates a great portion of their stake somewhere else. I'm not sure to whom as it wasn't my business, but you might try asking @offgridlife how it is done if that's what you mean.
I need to run now. Appreciate you're here and look forward to reading thought provoking material :)
Thanks for the info and the encouragement!
The Blurt Community, especially the Blurt Developers are awesome. I’m sure whatever they do together will be awesome.
Amazing
It seems idealism got mixed with selfishness in the graphene code. Even still, Blurt has a pulse and a community is developing. We are only in the infant stages. Please keep the community here up to date on your work in a new chain.
Well said Jacob, Maybe we haven't done well enough as an individual....on the other hand, its a wakeup call for us to strive and do better, not Only as a community but also as individuals,. Its a way brighter future for blurt.
Hi, Jacob,
1.How will Blurt be different from Steem or Hive?
2.How someone who is posting quality articles will get more recognition?
3.What do you think about "ambassadors" of topics or more likely promoters of topics. Something like on Appics.
Thank you
