A first post on Palnet.io - This is exciting! | Is someone building Paltiko yet?

Arriving on Steem one and a half years ago PALnet was one of the first communities I encountered and spend some time in. With radio shows which seemed to be filled with people who chatted like they knew each other for years already... I felt overwhelmed while at the same time feeling grateful there was this place 'off-blockchain' where you could just pop in and ask questions or lurk.

Lurking is still one of my favourite things to do, I'm really bad at 'doing Discord', which means I might have a spree of being active in one server only to disappear after for weeks or worse, months. But however bad I am at Discord PAL is one of the first servers I recommend people when they arrive on Steem and feel lost and need a place to 'land'. Let's be honest, almost everyone knows PAL, Peace Abundance Liberty, or @minnowsupport or one of the many community members that are born in that server... So it really is the best place to start.

And now there's PALnet.io

The impressive and fast-paced development by the 'Steem Engine Team' is incredible: from launching an exchange, to making 'tokens' possible through Scot/Scotbot, through launching the Nitrous tool that makes it possible to launch a Condenser (a copy of steemit.com with separate logo and token and reward mechanics, simply speaking) - it's all going fast, faster fastest - I went on a holiday for 10 weeks and had to see announcements of trading against EOS, the possibilities of staking and mining go by in my feed...

I'm SOON going to read up on all the details of that.

PALnet shows the incredible possibilities of Steem and what always bothered me about seeing Whaleshares and Smoke.io and some of the other Steem clones: if only it was possibly to have tokens layered upon this awesome blockchain these people didn't have to leave...

I always have been a believer of SMT's and it has long been the only thing I told people about Steem when they asked me what Steem was about: 'oh... you can just fill out a form and create your own token and empower your own website and community and the Steem Blockchain will take care of the rest!' - I would say.

And then it kept being delayed and delayed...

And people left. To their own 'forks' - which are copies of Steem but are de-coupled from Steem at the same time.

It hurt, because the fact people kept forking Steem meant they loved the basic properties but felt they wanted/needed to tweak some of it.

And now anyone can.

And it's freaking exciting.

PAL <3

So, PAL is not the first project launched through the magical combination of Scot/Nitrous, but it's the first I am trying out. This is one of the projects I don't see disappearing from Steem any time soon - if we'd have a list of the members and how deeply involved they are with Steem and what they are building... You would agree with me.

So here I am, saying hi on Palnet.io - yes, that means I'm writing this blog on palnet.io, and you can see it on palnet.io/@soyrosa - as well as on steemit.com/@soyrosa or steempeak.com/@soyrosa - as PALnet is a separate but Steem-based website, rewarding us in PAL and using a slightly different reward curve.

A few things that are different on PAL:

  • A slight less linear reward curve
  • A free downvote a day :-)
  • Promotion paid by PAL tokens that then get burned
  • faster shrinking inflation

Anyone recognize some of these from some of the discussions we're having lately? :D

I can't wait to see where this goes!

More info:

As I have been reading up today it can't hurt to plug a few articles to do your own research:

PS: Is someone building Paltiko yet? Or will we be able at some point to choose from which 'layer' we're posting in all these awesome content (d)Apps?

Yeah, I know, I was only half serious as I use Partiko mostly for reading content and realized I'd have to do that in a browser now for PAL posts :-)

I’m just a sucker for word jokes :’) Partiko people are very silent though, I’ve been worrying about them.

Glad youre fully refreshed after you 10-week holiday!!!!! OK, so please explain why I am looking at Steemit but it says PAL, same same but different?
Is this just another layer of reward tokens? and if so, why? It's all getting too complicated for me.
You're brilliant at explaining so please help me!!

Here you go: https://www.palnet.io/msp/@soyrosa/a-first-post-on-palnet-io-this-is-exciting-or-is-someone-building-paltiko-yet

Palnet is a 'token layer' on Steem. So every account there still needs Resource Credits (Steem Power) to function, but they can earn PAL by posting on that website (or using the palnet tag if posting through steemit.com/steempeak.com/busy.org :P).

This means:

  • if I post on PALnet.io (or use the palnet tag) my post shows up on PALnet.io and steemit.com.
  • if I post on Steemit.com (and don't use the palnet tag) it doesn't show op on PALnet.io.

This is different from whaleshares.io because they were a community (like PAL is) but did a full fork of the Steem Blockchain and created a website to post content on that has nothing to do with Steem/STEEM anymore. PALnet didn't do a full fork, but created a token on Steem and is therefore connected to Steem.

The reason why this is good for Steem (I think) is: every community can do this. You can create loverofpurplehairedcats.io and have a purplecat token and have fun with people sharing purple cat pictures. Since every website/account like this needs Steem Power/RC's to function this only grows the activity of the Steem Blockchain in general and should over time raise the price.

Hope this makes sense.

If not SHOUT. Then I have to do better :D

I'm excited about PAL, and have plans to do my own thing, though I seriously need some help with that.

I just learned all about it yesterday @soyrosa, and then claimed and staked my tokens. Today, I wrote a humorous post about palnet with a poetry how-to do all things Pal ;-)

Been a busy bee. How r you Rosa?

Hehe - I've been busy too :D Steem is really snowballing. Took some sort of mental break from Steem and did some traveling. Gained some perspective. How's your health doing @raj808?

My health is shit.

I'm dealing with it in the best possible way I can 👍

I'm glad to hear your travels gave you some rest, relaxation and perspective Rosa.

Reality is what we make it! And sometimes getting away helps find that perspective to make it the best it can be.

Much love, as allways 🙂
