About dPoll

dPoll is a polling application on top of Steem. It utilizes an account based voting system and stores poll and voting data on the blockchain. You can find it at dPoll.xyz.

Here is a handy How-to for creating dPolls.

@emrebeyler wrote about the reasons why dPoll hasn't included an upvote button right there on the polling page: Why dPoll doesn't implement upvoting.

It comes down to health and safety.

dPoll only asks for Comment and CommentOption scopes via Steemconnnect.

Meaning that with the access token gained, we can only broadcast comments/posts on your behalf. However, we can not upvote with your authority.

This protects you in the case of an attacker gaining access to dPoll servers. They could abuse the comment and posting option, but can not steal your voting power.

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.

What happened on dPoll last week?

We had two art curation projects this week. There was @trincowski:

Art Curation Initiative #11 - Help Me Rewarding 3 Artists With SBI Shares

And @shaka held the 17th LMAC:

LMAC #18 - The Finalists! Vote for your favorite entry and help decide who the winners will be!

@therealwolf is working on projects and wanted to gather some data:

What's your favourite payment method, which you've actively used at least multiple times in the last 3 months to purchase goods & services online?

@pjau wanted to know if you have what it takes to eat meat:

If the only way you were allowed to eat meat was to kill the animal yourself, would you?

@demotruk wanted to know if unvaccinated pupils should be allowed to attend school:

Do you Agree With the Following Statement?

@deathcross wants your opinion on Facebook:

Is Facebook dangerous?

It's annoying? Sounds about right ;)

Along comes @enforcer48:

What other non-blockchain social media do you use?

Facebook. Not so annoying after all?

@deathcross has you covered there:

The Robots Are Coming, And...

Robots will improve everything - even Facebook. Beep, beep, booop.

@erikahfit found out that there is a new finishing move in running:

Youtube: Dive! Dive! Dive!

Do you think it's ethical for athletes to dive at the finish line in order to win?

Hell yeah!
