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 @bluerobo has compiled a quick How-to for creating dPolls.

Our team member @emrebeyler added payout options to dPoll.

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.

Would you like to see Upvote option for post in dpoll interface ?

100% want that option.

@condeas was having second thoughts about vote bots and wanted some feedback:

Was meint ihr, wie soll es mit Tante Trude weitergehen?

Nobody wanted to shut down @gerdtrudroepke.

@rynow was also interested in voting services:

Do you think an automatic voting service is a good thing?

Overall a pretty undecided result.

Our team member @isnochys polled for feedback on what we should implement next:

dpolldev: What feature should be implement in dpoll next?

So far the majority wants multiple choice before stake weighted voting.

The poll is open. Get involved!
