ChainBB - a Redesigned Way to Post Your Stories and Earn STEEM

You could possibly earn from other posting there too! Yes! That’s right! Not only do your posts let you earn, now everybody with the same interests gets you a piece of the pie. Where’s the catch? You have to invest into your desired subsection. Guess which one is my primary interest! Yup, it’s beer.

But who made it?

Hive account@jesta, a longtime developer who has advanced skills in coding new crypto magicks. I chatted with him a few times and he seems determined to keep at it. Also, I seriously doubt he is looking only to grease his own pockets. I went so far as to hand him over my private posting key once when I had trouble posting. So far so good. He didn’t even ask me to pay him for his help. Needless to say, no posting trouble for me now.

What is ChainBB? Is it safe?

As safe as you can get in crypto land. I trust it. You need to use your private posting key to get in and interact but no one will ask for your master password. It works same as busy.org if you used it during this recent Time of Troubles (lag issues) over steemit.com. ChainBB just has a forum interface. It is the closest anyone has got to the announced ‘communities’. Something that makes posts visible in different way other than standard hot/trending/promoted sections.

I believe this is the only gateway for new users to be seen and heard. All in all, this kind of layout promotes inclusion and interaction, especially with new users.

Is it free?

Well.. No. You get 75% of your post and 25% goes to the curators. You know that right?

If you post it over ChainBB, the platform takes another 15% which nets you a minimum of 60% in the end. Hive account@jesta upvoted people who posted and commented through ChainBB in the past and now he is thinking a plan on how to re enable it again. Problem is with the abusers, of course. Maybe there is a friendly whale who would kickstart it again. I remember Hive account@cryptoctopus helping out some time ago.

There just isn’t a way to keep it free and for Hive account@jesta to continue his efforts. That’s why he wants your help now!

How can I contribute and earn with ChainBB?

You can reserve your subsection and manage it. For example I reserved beer and now I can decide what tags this will it include. I didn’t forget to add #beersaturday of course. It costs 10 STEEM now to reserve it so be quick and choose wisely. Maybe cn and kr are to your liking?

When the whole setup rolls you’ll probably get an option to ‘buy out’ the percentage of every post that gets written over ChainBB. For example 10% from #beer posts goes to Hive account@jesta and 5% goes to Hive account@buzzbeergeek as an owner and moderator of ‘Beer’ subsection. You can hire henchmen who get a cut too. For example 2.5% to buzzbeergeek and 2.5% to Hive account@detlev (creator of #beersaturday). Anyway, the exact setup still needs to be worked out. But you get the gist of it.

You get 1% of the rewards right now if you reserve your spot with 10 STEEM!

What would it take for you to use ChainBB to write your posts? Be blunt.

If you want any tags associated with Photography, Life and Beer feel free to say! I’m just getting used to it.
