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.

Our team member @tolgahanuzun did some [bug fixing] last week (https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@tolgahanuzun/dpoll-bug-fixes-edit-content-and-table-showing) and added support for tables.

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.

The immediate tasks on our development roadmap are:

Front End design
Achievements and Badges
Fixing the mobile issues on markdown editor
Adding/Updating post tags
Multiple choice selection (Not %100 decided, yet.)
DPP (dPoll Points) system based on user activity

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?

Our winning dPoller @howo from last weeks competition was still pondering the proper rewards split between creators and curators:

What is your opinion on a 50/50 curation split?

Most thought we should move forward faster.

Check out the arguments in the comment section.

@stemq was polling for some feedback on the StemQ platform:

Do you like StemQ's way of contributing questions and answers?

@pyemoney wanted to know how Steemians are using flags:

For what reason have you used the flag or downvote option the most on the Steem platform?

@runicar wanted to know:

How many alt accounts do you have and what do you use them for?

38% claimed to have only one, whereas 31% had more than 5 accounts.

@stayoutoftherz had the same question for his followers:

How many Steem accounts do you have?

55% out of his sample only have one account.

@vimukthi wanted to know how Steemians invest:

What Do You Look For Most In An Investment?

We have a very modern bunch here: constant improvement of ideas and good teams are important. Marketing hype or blue sky projections just don't cut it. The good old Warren Buffett moat-style investing is also out the door.

He also asked it differently:

What Is The Most Important Thing For You In An Investment

@runicar was also interested in the market this week. His was a question about market psychology:

At which point of the Wall Street Cheat Sheet are you now?

This chart is a great template to think about market participants. 55% wer feeling optimistic themselves or thought that the market was around the optimistic stage.

@onze was confusing everybody with his mind games - again:

How many circles do you see?

Not everybody. Only 83% were confused.

@devann was feeling a little philosophical:

What do you believe in: Destiny, Free Will or a Mix of Both?
