Forgot Partiko (partiko.app). Easily the best way to interface with the steemit blockchain on mobile, hoping they add more blockchains in the future!

  Interesting. Is it a dapp? If so, please do submit it to Dapp.com:)

The analysis of the first item, Steemit, is incorrect. Rewards paid on Steemit are paid in STEEM, a native asset to the same blockchain that holds all the content, not an ERC-20, as STEEM has nothing to do with Ethereum. I didn’t read any further, as such a glaring inaccuracy turned me off from the article. Source: have hacked on Steem a fair bit

  It's an easy enough mistake to make, since SmartMesh is also abbreviated SMT (conflicting with Steem's Smart Media Tokens) and it is an ERC-20 token.

How long are these sites being used?
- jungong 8y ago
  Not very long I would say. Have you tried any of those?

    no. social networking for decentralized internet is a ridiculous idea for me.

Very niche and nearly useless... To answer the question: you should start using them now if you care about other things more than about socializing. If you primarily care about socializing you'd obviously want to socialize where everyone is and that's the centralized social networks. Ironically these niche guys have to post on centralized sites to attract users. That's what makes sense for them, and that's fine, but I'd argue their efforts to promote their niche decentralized networks make them use centralized networks even more than they did before.

I'm friends with D.Tube founder, Adrien, and we just interviewed him on The Cazzell Report ( https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCJsTKB06gr8smQQIkbIXc9Q https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCJsTKB06gr8smQQIkbIXc9Q - his episode won't be out till next week though ). There is also P2P Reddit, http://notabug.io/ http://notabug.io/ which like D.Tube, runs off of GUN. It already has 1K/daily active users!

Blockchain ≠ decentralization ≠ peer-to-peer ≠ cryptocurrency This isn’t an article about decentralized social media, it’s a list of apps where publishers are paid in crypto currency.
