If you have followed me for a while you know I am a real fan of the Hive account@smartsteem concept and especially of the Hive account@smartmarket.

I have been working with Hive account@therealwolf for a while now moderating the discord and helping out where I can.

A part of this is to check applications for the Whitelisting on the Smartsteem Platform.

This entails that when you are accepted you will be able to use a bigger pool of votes to buy from.  People generally do not mind selling their voting power to make a bit of extra income.  But if you are like me you do not like selling to spammers and plagiarists.  

That is where the smartsteem platform comes in: https://smartsteem.com

Through a whitelisting process we filter out people that blatantly copy pictures and movies from the web to post here on steem and make money through basically abusing the system.

I personally like the example that Hive account@themarkymark is setting and that this whole process in my eyes really is improving the steemit blockchain and the community.  There are loads of upvoting services and I for one want to use one that at least acts responsibly with the power that it has

This is the team that is currently working on this project and if there are any questions or suggestions do not hesitate to join us on the discord channel and we will gladly help you if we can.  You can of course always leave a comment or question below

We aim to thoroughly check all applicants and we all do this manually, we look at your posts, look at your wallets, at posting pattern and of course check what you write and post.   If you have not stolen someone elses intellectual property then you will be allowed on smartsteem.  

I have been approached a lot on the discord chat of smartsteem with people asking how long it will take to get approved even on DM asking if there was anything that could be done to speed up the process.  

We are working on this every day and there are a lot off applications to go through.  We do want to do this thoroughly and not just half-assed so we ask for your patience.  We will get to you in due time and together we will grow this amazing platform

If you have stolen, then you will be blacklisted and reported to Steemcleaners

If through your travels on our amazing blockchain you find some posts that are obvious copies then please use the link above to report them and hopefully dissuade the abuse.

So before you apply just make sure you do not break these very simple rules, if you do decide to break them then:

you have been warned
