Hi Steemians!
Lately you have certainly noticed that crypto social networks grow like mushrooms, Trybe, Ono, Minds, Scorum, Akasha and Narrative to name just few. The forefather of this movement is certainly our beloved Steemit, what better way then to try to break into the field if not to copy in large part the one who in these two years was the undisputed leader?
So today I will present you Weku, the social made in China that has decided to go on the safe, their philosophy, as can be seen from their [White Paper](https: //weku.io/weku_whitepaper_en.pdf) does not seem completely wrong, if Steemit is proving itself efficient and reliable, why not adopt the same formula, which has already proved to be more than well done?
There are however some differences and soon I will try to show you what I could find so far, I have been on the platform for almost a week and I tried to explore the site as much as possible.
If their tactics are winning or not only the time can say, surely they have simplified everything regarding the part that we could call "bureaucratic", the whole thing seems to be easier, there are no other related sites like on Steemit where to check Voting Power, etc... or different Web & Smartphone applications, that should be officially released by Weku team at the beginning of 2019, here are some points that differentiates it:
- No upvote bots in sight so far.
- The ability to choose the voting percentage of the upvote is available from the beginning.
- The tags work in a completely different way, if tagged communities such as amar, zeal, zealpro, team-quality, saahil and lifty, you will receive substantial upvote from them.
Now we come to one of the crucial points, the upvote, unlike Steemit where just entered you can't even give a tenth of a penny to anyone, here the situation seems to be quite different, your first upvote will apply right away on the 70 cents, this I must admit that makes you feel "powerful", even if, the Weku understood as a real cryptocurrency does not exist yet, in December 2018 there will be the ICO, so it will be waiting and everything remains therefore an enigma. However, it is possible to exchange Weku Dollars if you have a Wallet Bitshares, but as you can see here there are currently no big trades.
Your reputation will rise very high, with only 7 posts in the active I have personally reached the number (43), this speed is exciting but we'll see his results over time. A lot of Steemians have subscribed to Weku, so if you are planning to enroll you will certainly find family names. No one forbids to post the same content that you have already used on Steemit, good practice that I discovered yesterday, is the link from your original post.
In this screen you can see the final piece of the roadmap that will end with the December ICO
Let's start now by seeing some screen of the site that will surely remind you of something very familiar. A quick enough tutorial since there is not a lot to add and everything will result in a continuous flashback.
This is my Blog, is almost identical to that of Steemit, the only addition is that of a refferal link to the site itself in the description of your profile.
Let's move now in the settings, even here it is all practically the same, but I noticed by some users that in the "Cover Image" section you can insert animated GIFs.
Compared to Steemit there are fewer settings to set up, for example, the choice of language and the choice of rewards distribution are missing..
Now let's move on to the Wallet, as you can easily see is all very familiar, no difference from the wallet that you already know very well.
This is the final part of the Wallet, I think it is really useless to add any comment if you are just semi-professional Steemians is a section that you will know as your pockets.
Here you can see how you can choose the percentage of voting right from your first steps in the platform, as your upvote is already worth enough is a great advantage to be able to use it right away.
Clicking on your profile picture will open the drop-down menu to which, compared to Steemit, only the "night mode" is missing, which has however recently been added.
To finish the homepage of the site that even in this case I believe that you will be able to find out about it without the slightest problem.
Keep in mind that the site is still in Beta version, as is Steemit. The continuous comparisons with our beloved platform that I did in this post seemed more than necessary to find easier.
I conclude by telling you that so far I have had a positive impression from the site and its community, but if the game is not worth the candle we'll find out soon, being identical to Steemit is a big plus on the one hand because you really put some second to adapt, already from the completely free registration whose operation is identical, the only differences are that in this case is instantaneous and at your entrance you will find a bonus of 100 WEKU POWER in your Wallet. If you like it then you can also see on Weku, this is my refferal if you think that I deserve it! Thanks to for introducing me to this platform!
