Just a complaint memo shared with cn community. Don’t bother translate and read.


大家都過節去了吧?很好,暫時離開一下Steemit,反正目前至少我感覺有點慘。

看cn區也看得出來,要不是@laonie的羅賓鯨自動帖意外被點到三位數,大概就是甜心妹妹(團隊)掛第一位,很久沒看到兩位數開頭的了… 想不久前甜心教主還曾有千刀文章啊….

我幻想要個免費月餅,算了算要72刀,沒要成,倒不傷心。只是看了其他文章後,才發現72刀現在已經是超級奢求(最後拿到15刀看來已經是很成功了??)… 這不是我不識時務啊,1-2週前,這樣的行情其實普通而已,可以當作是一個普通人的奢求,現在看倒是有點無恥的味道了?(自己罵可以,可別跟著啊)…

整個Steemit的payout都有嚴重下滑的情況… 第二篇trending就降到千刀以下了,過去是不太可能的,那個自我介紹賺1萬5千刀的日子其實並沒有很久啊…

常有人說不要介意steem價格,其實我也同意。但是我心裡好幾個想法都是想去找外面的人合作,或是說服他們已經有作品實力的來加入,一方面payout可以支付實際要合作的開銷,一方面payout是決定外邊的人有沒有興趣來這裡發展的重要參考…. 現在看來都要無限期延後了….

就連自己想寫的好東西,也抱著何必現在寫的心態,反正 @wang 也已經不愛我了,順便自暴自棄一下吧…. 所以來寫點交流帖,不為收入,只為出氣與交流… 看我們大西瓜 @myfirst 的兩篇大作,一周前的話早該破百的…

@nextgen622 翻譯了Steemit現在最熱門的阿姆斯特丹大會,雖然還早(11/11-13),但是目前氣氛似乎並不是太好!? 該不會這只是我自己或是cn區人的感覺吧…. 我猜目前可能cn區都沒有人想去吧!? 我本來就沒有打算去的….

若是有空我還是會發發好玩的帖… 就當分享吧… 畢竟, 現在這裡還是我的家… 


好好過節,好好玩吧!!

A Wish to have a Steemit-backed FREE Star Wars Mooncake before coming Moon festival 中秋免費月餅之願 추석소원


Happy Holidays! 中秋節快樂!행복한추석 !!


Starting from tomorrow is Taiwan’s 4-day holiday for the mid-autumn festival. Family and friends get together to watch the full moon and eat mooncakes, pomelos… and often hold BBQ party as well. There have been and will be a couple of Mid-Autumn festival or Mooncakes posts recently especially if you check the cn tag,  so I won’t bother explain what it is or the story with a beautiful lady, a woodman and a rabbit (no, no werewolves ok!?). I just want to make a wish to this amazing community before I enjoy the coming holidays. Here is why…


My wife bought a special mooncake yesterday. I was excited after I saw it and said to her: “let me share this on Steemit and you might be able to get your money back!” Well, needless to say, she gave me another scornful look again (feel familiar!? see here) and left with a couple of laughs. This is understandable as I never withdraw any significant cash from Steem and gave it to her. This time I hope to impress her so she can be more supportive of my steemit activities like taking photos when we eat out and staring at laptop for hours without moving… 


The Product - Maxim’s Star Wars Lava Chocolate Mooncake


Ok. What is this special mooncake that makes me so excited!? May I present you the Star Wars Lava Chocolate Mooncake from Hong Kong’s famous Maxim’s food company (bought in Taiwan)!!

Let’s unpack it and reveal the LAVA!


Check this out… It’s the Emblem of the Galactic Republic!! (see here) Eat it and you are one of us… 


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/14/IMG_20160911_193146a135c.jpg


Cut it open so the chocolate lava erupts!  


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/14/IMG_20160911_19330618f03.jpg


You can compare it with normal mooncakes… boring package… but, well, taste better!!


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/14/IMG_20160911_153535ca4e5.jpg


My Full Moon Wish


The price for this Star Wars Lava Chocolate Mooncake is TWD$749 (source). According to today’s TWD/USD exchange rate, it is roughly USD $23.6, which according to current USD/SBD rate is around $27 SBD. If I am going to receive $27 SBD from this post, then its payout has to exceed $27*2/75%=$72


Therefore, I am making a wish here: please hear my wish all big whales out there… make this post pass the $72 market so I can get $27 SBD and turn it into BTC, USD, TWD… Then I can show it to my wife and say: see!? By introducing this interesting mooncake, Steemit can generate the value to make this mooncake absolutely FREE! 


MY FULL MOON WISH: please help this post pass $72 ! 


If this wish is to be granted by our dear whales, then I will donate the same amount of SBD from this post into my charity fund for children welfare (you can check this memo). But of course I need some time to save up to do that as the $27 SBD will be cashed out to be the evidence of “Steemit works!!” in my family courtroom. 


Oh, I include the cn tag and kr tag so friends from these two communities can help this wish come true since we all share this festival together: 中秋節快樂!행복한추석 (forgive me if google is wrong… :P)!! Thanks a million for your help!! 


This is my son turned into Darth Vader: “please give my mother a Steemit-ba(c)ked mooncake!!

Happy Moon Festival to Every Steemians Out There!!


Note. after submission I just found out that my friend @ace108 has posted about this mooncake 2 weeks ago (here). Glad he didn’t really purchase it but just mentioned it. So there is still a distinction. check it out! @ace108 (you were posting mooncakes 2 weeks ago!?)

Really a less than minor bug ... but still a bug.


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/12/bug-1296147_640bca31.th.png


Please, don’t bother reading this post as this is really minor. 


I have noticed this problem (bug?) for quite some time but it doesn’t really affect my steemit activities so I never bother telling anyone. Until recently I tried to bookmark some pages and realized that it does cause some inconvenience. But again, not important as it’s too easy to deal with. 


See page titles in this picture: today’s trending page as well as top four pose pages… fantastic jobs, guys!


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/12/hpage16e867.png


They won’t be the same after you read them… any scrolling down of the page will turn the title into “Post-Steemit”… Now we have four identical post page titles (you can get them back if you click ‘reply’ or reload the page)… That’s it. The small tiny bug I mentioned. Not really of any importance… Just not neat enough. For me of course.


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/12/hpage22f925.png


It causes some tiny problems too. When you want to bookmark it without noticing this, your bookmark will be slightly different in the title part (red in the following). Not a problem, just reload the page and save the bookmark then. I know. That’s why I said less than minor.


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/12/hpagebookmark9b500.png


I just post it so if anyone could take care of it sometime maybe in split seconds… after all, this less than tiny bug bugs me a little bit… and, by the way, I don’t know anything technical or Github. 


Happy Steeming, fellow Steemians!

Follow me grocery shopping in a traditional Chinese market in Taiwan 台灣傳統市場走一回


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/11/IMG_20160911_075602-1-139543.th.jpg


It is a beautiful day at Taipei today - a sunny day after days of rain. 


台北美好的週日早晨,今天做什麼事好?


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/11/IMG_20160911_083114-112c11.md.jpg


After I wake up, I see a note on my laptop … My wife has given me a list for grocery shopping and no buying from nearby supermarket but from a traditional market that I need to ride subway for 2 stations. Well, it is a beautiful day and my wife’s order is not to be challenged. Besides, an idea pops up: why not share it on Steemit as an introduction for Taiwan’s local markets! (triggered by @elfkitchen ‘s post one week ago) This idea makes me so positive about my coming chore!! Although my wife sees through my brain and gives me a scornful look..


朋友們,看中文的讀者對於台灣這種傳統市場應該不陌生,我看亞洲各國,大中華圈的傳統市集,大概是賣的東西略有不同,但是那種氣氛是很類似的!我總覺得儘管似乎被認為是不衛生的、不進步的傳統市場,其實正是我們文化的重要成分,這裡面有非常好的生命力與庶民文化,每每我去過市場後都充滿能量的回家!內容我就不多介紹了,今日採購,總金額約38塊美金,下周聽說台灣有颱風要來,物價已經有點漲了,但今天買起來還是挺划算的感覺!這是離我家20分鐘地鐵交通的台北南邊的一個市場… 


Anyway, I took my dumbphone, wallet and shopping bag and stormed out of the door! After 20 mins, I have arrived this local, traditional, vibrant, hustling and bustling market! Follow me and see it for yourself via my dumbphone camera!  


People, lots of people, more people… is always what you see first entering a market… 


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/11/IMG_20160911_1019008e44a.jpg


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/11/IMG_20160911_08081710b1e.jpg


But as you blend in, gradually, you see only those beautiful, fresh and delicious nature’s gifts on the booths… all kinds of vegetables, peppers, garlics, potatoes, tomatoes…

Roasted chickens, flowers, fruits, fresh fish, chicken… oh, some pictures of pork butcher booth are here and here (in case someone find them too cruel to watch… ) … I think these are enough for cooking all kinds of meals today!!

If you feel hungry after a bit of shopping and bargaining, there are some treats for your stomach. Even newspapers are here for your casual Sunday read. 


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/11/IMG_20160911_081151ea645.jpg


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/11/IMG_20160911_075702-13d9ac.jpg


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/11/IMG_20160911_10201983ca2.jpg


In the following, these are ALL the grocery in my shopping bag today!! Aren’t they just gorgeous!? Total cost should be around $1200 TWDs, roughly $38 USDs. Given the forecast of coming typhoon next week (therefore pushing up prices for veges and fruits), this is quite a harvest!!


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/11/IMG_20160911_1015510e3fb.jpg


Sometimes when I feel depressed or unhappy, it is quite effective to cheer you up if you just visit a traditional market. You will feel life and energy there - be it noisy bargaining or greetings, pushing and shoving around, or smells of nature in the air - all may revive your inner power and recharge your depleted battery. This is not possible if you go to modern supermarkets.  


下次到台灣,一定要找個上午,很早就到傳統市場去逛逛看看,感受一下在地生活的脈動,當然更可以順便吃點便宜又好吃的早餐啦!

A Sunday $5 SBD Giveaway if you recognize this cafe #2 週日咖啡廳猜謎又來了!


Last Week on Sunday Giveaway… 回顧一下上週週日猜謎


A Sunday $5 SBD giveaway if you can recognize this nice cafe!! 週日咖啡廳猜謎再來一次!


It went well I think… even could say successful with unexpected surprises! See the winner @adamt ‘s follow story here: 上海漆畫女郎如何幫我在Steemit賺SBD的小故事 The lacquered lady of Shanghai …. I originally thought that someone from the cn community would take the prize as there is no point hosting this game if no one can guess it. 


上週結果很令人意外,上海外國遊客 @adamt 意外買水餃路上認出麵包棒而認出這間咖啡廳,賺到5 SBD,後來還寫出他那次遊記與這次驚奇得獎故事。我原本是預估應該是cn區的人可以拿到的。


This week I will let people from greater China, Asia, or even international users here have a chance… Well, you can view this expression as my FIRST CLUE!! 這週,這間謎之咖啡廳設定是讓大中華,亞洲,甚至世界各地朋友都有機會猜中。這的表述就是第一個線索喔!


Second CLUE is that this cafe belongs to a world famous hotel - just like last week Victor’s belongs to Fairmont Peace Hotel… 第二線索是,跟上週一樣,這間咖啡廳是某間世界知名飯店的咖啡廳,找到飯店你就可以拿獎了!


Same rules apply. $5 SBD up for grabs. I think this one is easy - don’t miss out!! 規則都一樣,別錯過,$5 SBD很快要送出去了,我不覺得這個太難喔… 


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/10/IMG_20131029_09214679aa7.jpg


Update! We have a winner within 1 hour! Congrats to @borishaifa !!  恭喜獲獎者出現了,這次又不是cn區的,下次我再挑個適合的吧…. 去過又拍過照的咖啡廳正在減少中,哈哈!下週見!
