Seventeen days ago, I decided to reopen this platform after
ghosting it right after creating my account. Since then, I've been trying to
stay as active as possible by consistently posting original content, making
genuine connections, participating in various activities, and building trust
within the platform.
Looking back after just 17 days, I'd say I've already made
quite a few contributions here. So today, I want to share some of them in the
hope that they'll inspire you to make your own contributions, too.
Referrals
At the time of writing, I have a total of 10 invites, one of
whom is my nephew. I honestly don't know who the other nine are, but I'm pretty
sure one of them is also a good friend of mine.
Because of this, I'm currently ranked in the Top 10 and
earned the BCH Nostr Ambassador badge. What an amazing journey it's been!
That said, I wouldn't call it a complete success since 90%
of them became inactive.
Feature Requests
My contributions didn't stop there. I'm also active in
helping improve the platform by submitting feature requests whenever something
caught my attention.
First off, we have the...
Custom Tipping
As someone who manages my own community, I use the tipping
feature ALL THE TIIIIMMMEEE to reward members whenever they submit an entry. So, when
I noticed that custom tipping wasn't available, I couldn't help but suggest it.
Now I don't have to send multiple tips just to reach a
certain amount. It saves me a lot of time and makes the whole process much more
convenient.
Community Spaces
One of my favorite suggestions was for the Community Spaces.
At the time, I thought it would be much better if BCH Reply
Guy added separate tabs like Favorites, Active, and Inactive.
I felt this would make Community Spaces more organized, user-friendly, and
efficient, especially as the number of communities continues to grow.
Thankfully, he made it happen. Now I can easily focus on the
communities I visit most often.
Activities
We all love joining the activities here. Aside from the
chance to win cool prizes, they're also a great way to meet new people and
build connections. The problem was that with so many activities happening at
once, it became difficult to keep track of everything.
My first idea was actually to create another community where
every Community Host could promote their activities. But I knew I wasn't the
right person to make that happen. Besides, only a few people even knew I
existed here at the time. 😅
So instead, I submitted a feature request.
When I first saw the Activities page, I thought, "This
is it!" Unfortunately, when I opened it, it looked almost identical to the
Crowdfunding page. So, I submitted another suggestion, hoping to better explain the vision I had in mind.
As you can see, my suggestion still isn't marked as Addressed.
However, another user submitted a similar request. The main difference was that
I suggested adding a Promote Activity button, while she suggested simply
labeling these posts as Activity.
Honestly, I'm glad BCH Reply Guy decided to implement hers
instead of mine. At least her solution was free. 😂
BCH Radio
I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only one concerned about not
being able to delete an uploaded song.
When I uploaded a song I created the night before, it was an
epic fail. There was no music at all! I was so embarrassed that I immediately looked for a delete
or edit button only to realize there wasn't one.
So I went straight to the suggestion box and reported the
issue.
About an hour later, BCH Reply Guy liked my post, and that's when I knew
the feature had already been implemented.
Other Suggestions
I still have a few feature requests that haven't been
addressed yet, but I know he's a busy guy and can't do everything at once.
Hopefully, when he has more time, he'll consider the rest of
our suggestions.
This one right here is tagged as "Addressed", but I'm not sure if it has already been implemented.
Crowdfunding
Lastly, there's my campaign: MOVE. EAT. LIVE. EARN BCH.
A huge thank you to @Prime Architect for funding my
proposal.
The community has now grown to 84 members, and so far I've
distributed more than $27 in BCH through various activities.
I still have enough funds left in my wallet, and my goal is
to keep organizing fun and rewarding activities until we run out of budget.
Who knows? Maybe I'll submit another crowdfunding proposal
for the community in the future.
Would you support me if I did?
So yeah, those have been my contributions so far, and I'm
looking forward to contributing even more in the future. 💚
