About dPoll
dPoll is a polling application on top of Steem. It utilizes an account based voting system and stores poll and voting data on the blockchain. You can find it at dPoll.xyz.
Here is a handy How-to for creating dPolls.
Recent updates to the dApp are:
- Multiple Choice dPoll: this was a desired feature by the community. You can find it at the bottom of the editor. It can be enabled if you think it is appropriate for your dPoll.
- Poll promotion: this is helpful when you create a poll and want to increase exposure to more users than follow you already. If you bid the highest amount, your dPoll will appear on top of the dpoll.xyz homepage.
- New content filters:
An additional change introduced with the content filters was the issue that it was not obvious which dPolls were already expired. With the change only active polls are shown - in every filter. If you want to look up older polls you can go to the profile of a dPoller by either clicking on the user name in a recent dPoll or going to https://dpoll.xyz/user/@[username].
If you have any feedback, go to our issues page at Github or drop by at our Discord server.
See it online at dpoll.xyz, and the source code at github repository.

What happened on dPoll last week?
Which Steem Project Should I Delegate 10k SteemPower To For 1 Year?
This sparked a frenzy of voting on dPoll. @Team-CN and @Votovzla took the lead from the start. @SteemitBloggers (aka Power House Creatives) slowly but surely, vote by vote, caught up with them over the week. It was a very close competition with a lot of position changes between the three leaders . The winner was completely open until the very end of the polling window.
The other participants were: @Actifit, @Crowdmind, @Dsound, @Freewritehouse, @Qurator, @Spunkeemonkee and @SteemNurse.
@Votovzla took the win in the end with a fantastic last minute sprint.
