Here at Utopian.io we have been working hard to release this new ground-breaking feature that we believe will change the game for us and for Steem, completely.

Direct Delegation To Projects is HERE!

Project Owners Can Now Create Bounties For FREE!

Utopian.io has a bot powered by almost 4 Million SP and guess how we made it? By looking for sponsors. So we realised that we should have given the very same opportunity to every Open Source project out there.

Project owners can now look for sponsors or become sponsors themselves by delegating to their projects and by using the delegated power to upvote the project contributors immediately.

Think About This For A Second…or Two.

Project maintainers can look for sponsors and delegate their own power to their own projects, practically generating BOUNTIES FOR FREE.

We believe this is something unseen on earth and will be very appealing for EVERY project owner out there, therefore making them willing to load up their STEEM accounts to delegate to their own projects in order to generate FREE BOUNTIES by just upvoting.

New Investors - More Value - Bounties For Free - WIN - WIN - WIN.

What Is The Benefit Instead Of Delegating to The Project Owner Directly?

Utopian.io creates a separate account dedicated for the project that is usable by all the project maintainers to ONLY upvote the contributors of the project, therefore producing the following:

• A project owner will never be able to waste the voting power to upvote hamburgers or steaks. The voting power of the project account can only be used by the project owners to upvote the project contributions.

• The account is managed by utopian-io, a third party, trusted community. The project owners do not have access to the ad-hoc Steem project account, ever.

• Enabling organisations or projects managed by more entities to use a third party account to upvote the contributions, without having to share credentials. Utopian.io automatically recognises who are the project owners and enables them.

How The Process Work?

A project owner can request to enable the Utopian Sponsorship Module from the project page.

The request will be submitted and reviewed manually by the Utopian staff. The request can be either accepted or rejected. If rejected a message with the reason of the rejection will be shown.

If the request is accepted the ad-hoc account will be created and the Sponsorship module enabled. No more steps are required from the project owners. They can immediately delegate to their own project and go looking for Sponsors.

Voting Slider - DOUBLED UP!

Now everyone on Utopian will be able to use the voting slider. Project owners having the Sponsorship module enabled will also have the option to upvote with the sponsor account.

Are You Ready To Generate Bounties For Free?

We are. Visit Utopian.io, sync your Github account and enable the Sponsorship module. Delegate your own power to the project and start looking for sponsors right away!

The Utopian Bot will keep voting EVERY contribution, so the free bounties you can generate are on top of the standard Utopian vote. Delicious rewards for the contributors on the horizon!!!

This page is synchronized from the post: Direct Delegation To Projects is HERE. Look How We GROW The Value of STEEM!

Utopian.io has a bot powered by almost 4 MILLION SP. Big part of that, over 1 MILLION SP was delegated by @ned.

What @ned did not realise is that Utopian.io gives back to the Utopian Sponsors 20% of the author rewards based on how much you delegate. As soon as @ned noticed that, he immediately rejected the profits, since he only wants to help in the Utopian.io growth and not having anything back from it.

You Also Can Opt Out

If you are a sponsor and you want to only participate to the Utopian.io growth but not share the profits, just get in touch with us on Discord. This option will be also available for new delegators directly on the Utopian Sponsors section.

By opting out the reward shares you should have received will be given to the main utopian-io account and used to upvote the contributions, therefore helping even more the growth of Utopian.io and in general the development of Open Source technologies.

This post was written by @stellabelle. She’s sponsoring this GIF contest with a contribution of 100 STEEM.

This page is synchronized from the post: Utopian is Having a GIF Contest and You’re Encouraged To Participate!

Utopian.io is moving fast and we have now 6 developers actively working on the code, 2 graphic designers, 1 copywriter and many marketing specialists helping Utopian.io in its growth.

Find below what we did in the last 2 days.

Utopian Bot

• Added a minimum vote. Since we have a maximum vote, we believed a minimum vote also made sense for each category.
• Better wording on the bot comment for those who had difficulties understanding the bot logics.
• The bot now does not wait an hour when it reaches 100% but checks constantly. In this way no voting power is wasted.
• Added a difficulty factor. Thanks to @stoodkev for this one. Please up vote his contribution.

Dedicated Section for Tasks Requests

Tasks requests are one of the most important features in Utopian.io, since allow project maintainers to request for very specific tasks contributors can work on. There was no way to spot them unless you was aware of the URL to the project page, that is why we made a specific section for them.

Thanks to @mooncryption. Please upvote his contributions.

Github Enhancements

You can now sync your Github again to work with public repositories under your organisation and forks. We have also enhanced the right side box to manage your projects and add tasks requests. Sync with Github again to access this new functionality.

Thanks to @mooncryption. Please upvote his contributions.

Blog

The blog section is now visible only on Utopian Blog Section or under the user profile, not in the main contributions feed.

Thanks to @mooncryption. Please upvote his contributions.

Pending Review

The user is now able to see pending review contributions under his own profile

Thanks to @mooncryption. Please upvote his contributions.

New Moderation Features

Now moderators can use a set of predefined answers based on the most common cases.

Thanks to @mooncryption. Please upvote his contributions.

API Refactoring

• Refactored the APIs with Typescript.

• Fixed a bug that sometimes was not allowing the backend to store the contributions.

  Thanks to @samrg472. Please upvote his contributions.

Utopian.io has just been listed on SteemProjects by @noisy.

Utopian.io believes many more projects should follow this example in terms of effort and quality. SteemProjects is still in its infancy, some minor issues may be there, but the UX, the UI and the coding effort in this project are SUPER AWESOME!.

SteemProjects by @noisy

It is a platform to list Steem Projects but it is actually much more than just that. Project owners can do many things, like managing a timeline, sharing the status of the project, present the project in beautiful details and much more.

Have a look to the [pre-RELEASE][Tutorial] How to add/edit a project on SteemProjects.com to learn how you can submit your project there.

Utopian.io is already there and PROUD OF THAT!

Utopian.io is happy to announce we have successfully installed an internal Facebook like Messenger. Time to use it for collaborating about the Steemit Trending Page Contest and make it real.

The Utopian Chat

The Utopian chat is based on cometchat.com, a standard enterprise solution. It is not Open Source unfortunately, but there are not so many good Facebook like Open Source chat solutions and Rocket.chat seemed too much for the purpose. Maybe time to build one?

Lets Collaborate To Fix The Steemit Trending Page

We got many people interested in joining the contest but we believed we needed a way to let them collaborate. This is why we have created the Utopian Chat.

Here the people interested in the contest. Lets get in touch with them via the Utopian Chat on the group Steemit-Contest.
