About dPoll

dPoll is a place on the Steem blockchain where you can answer questions by your fellow Steemians and create polls yourself. You can find it at dPoll.xyz.

If you want to learn more about the project, you can read the introductory post.

Here is a handy How-to for creating dPolls.

We have implemented a new view which lists polls by vote count on specific date ranges. This view is hidden at the moment, but it's accessible via /polls_by_vote. polls by vote ranks the dPolls of the last 7 days by votes cast. If you want to know how to set specific date ranges: check this.

If you have any feedback, go to our issues page at Github or drop by at our Discord server.

See it online at dpoll.xyz, and the source code at github repository.

dPoll Competition No. 10

Starting this Sunday, every poll created until next Saturday will be eligible to enter the competition.

There are two ways to win:

Price pool for most votes cast:

1st Place wins 3 Steem

2nd and 3rd Place each win 1 Steem

One random voter for the winning dPoll will receive 1 Steem

Entry: you will have to create a dPoll on dPoll.xyz and try to accumulate as many votes for your question as you can. Deadline is Saturday the 26th of January 2019 12 PM UTC*.

Team members of dPoll are excluded from participating in the prize pool.

Winners of Competition No. 9

Place	dPoller	No. Votes	dPoll Title
1st	@shaka	16	Which entry should win the "Let's make a collage #4" - contest?
2nd	@shaka	15	What will be the outcome of tomorrow's vote on Theresa May's Brexit deal?

Random Voter	@scienceangel	- / -	Which entry should win the "Let's make a collage #4" - contest?

This is a curious result for the week. @shaka won 1st place in the @sndbox competition plus 1st and 2nd place in the dPoll weekly competition for very different entries: art and politics.

The 3rd place is shared between @darthgexe and @immanuel94 with both garnering 14 votes in during the contest period.

Congratulations to the winners!

Sndbox Contest 7

Sndbox hosted their 7th contest for creators who are looking for feedback on their own project.

The Winners were:

@shaka won first place and a 75% @sndbox upvote for his art curation contest:

Which entry should win the "Let's make a collage #4" - contest?

@nerdtopiade was doing some cleaning up and found an interactive novel.

What better to do than start an experiment and play it with fellow Steemians:

Abenteuerspielbuch Voting #1

This earned him a 50% upvote from @sndbox and second place in the competition.

Look out for next week. @nerdtopiade will explain what happened after the last decision and post the next possible actions to choose from.

There is no need to worry if you are not working on any projects at the moment.

Sndbox is hosting many contests in different categories. Go check them out!

As long as you are doing something on Steem there should be an opportunity for you to participate.

What happened on dPoll last week?

@shaka on Brexit the night before the vote:

What will be the outcome of tomorrow's vote on Theresa May's Brexit deal?

@darthgexe has conjured the @contestkings mantra: no upvote, no follow, no resteem:

Elige tu premio / Choose your prize #2

@cryptospa was wondering about real world adoption of crypto:

Have you ever paid for something with cryptocurrency?

50% of Steemians have used crypto in the real world already.

@justaraven asked a similar question:

Have you ever bought physical product with cryptocurrencies?

There was a twist: 68% of the respondents didn't try and 17% said it isn't possible in their contry.

@steemingmark added another variation to the real world adoption question:

Would you accept Steem currency as your work salary?

86% would not accept Steem as salary (yet?).

@nerdtopiade hosted the 11th bi-weekly Random Game:

Random Game Voting Nr 11

@vimukthi was looking for authors who have shown insights into the future:

Who Is The Most Prophetic Author When It Comes To Predicting The Modern Times?

This one needs a second try at some point.

@lyanna wanted to know if Steemians would invest more into Steemmonsters:

Poll: Are you going to invest more?

@amr008 was interested in the @blocktrades option:

SP v SP delegation , Blocktrades . Which do you prefer?

82% preferred to convert straight into Steem, 18% preferred other.

@vimukthi was interested in a business valuation:

What Would Be The Marketcap of @magicdice for 2019-2020?

@nathen007 wanted to know if the withdrawn delegations to some dApps by Steemit were a blessing or a curse:

Is it a good thing for the platform in the long term that Steem Inc. has withdrawn delegations to some of the DApps?

73% thought it would be for the better in the long run.
