the main theme of the forum bitcointalk in the last days — comparison of decentralized social networking Steemit and Synereo.
This discussion was revived in connection with the announcement of the alpha version of Synereo next month.
Steem — cryptocurrency social platform Steemit, which serves as a reward for activity. Steem overtook The DAO and took the 5th place among the most valuable cryptocurrency in the world after her 1000% gain in a matter of days after the first payment Steemit.
Synereo, on the contrary, provides a semi-Autonomous system that requires human participation in smart contracts. Synereo is a social model that provides users with the ability to monetize the content and get your own organic LAN.
They scams?
Whether Synereo and Steem pyramids? Dranster the user has created a topic of discussion with the assumption that "Synereo's AMP uses the same pattern as Steem", because they have similar methods of monetization.
The first Respondent contends that watched Synereo and its developers, since its ICO, and how they helped the airwaves with his new Protocol proof-of-stake, and dispels all doubts. Dsattler wrote:
main developers are actively involved in the development of cryptocurrency and it is unlikely that they will risk their reputation"

DecentralizeEconomics said completely decentralized form Synereo is a key difference from the centralized platform Steemit and hinted at a probable self-organized collapse of Steem.
Matej michalko (Matej Michalko), founder and Director of the DECENT, he added:
"Being an insider in the field of blockchain distribution of digital content over a considerable time, I saw a lot of baseless charges osnovyvayas only on dubious evidence. Most of them were posted by people unwilling to reveal their real names. I believe that the blockchain technologies have great potential and will be able to free the world from unnecessary intermediaries, reduce costs and do a huge service to humanity. The blockchain technology is a high technology, which is still at a very early stage. Projects in this area should unite and cooperate to make the blockchain mainstream"
Steemit more like blockchain.info
Ned Scott (Ned Scott) CEO Steemit claims that Steem is a decentralized blockchain, which enhances a separate and isolated operations via a consensus Delegated Proof of Stake (DPOS). He explains that he Steemit is the blockchain; instead, it is in the blockchain, a web application resembling in many respects Blockchain.info.
Another forum member has offered to support the statement DecentralizeEconomics about the probability of exit Steem down, because the platform is centrally supported by the object, which carries out payments.
Despite the many negative posts against Steem, Zer0Sum wrote that Steemit no real plan or road map, because social networks do not develop "organically", but have their purpose and are created brick by brick.
Ned Scott (Ned Scott) said that Steemit currently working on improving the website and developing open source blockchain, and provides support to contractors, creating third-party applications.
"Platform Steemit has developed a roadmap that outlines the possibilities of the Steem developers to carry out complete processing of all components of the blockchain from payments and rewards, social environments and networks, identity management, recoveries account and password recoveries, Steem-integrated market and the private messaging side chains, the plug-ins to smart contracts. In the near future users will get better performance of the functions of the means of social communication Steemit.com"
Meet the “whales”
Christopher Franco (Christopher Franko), blockchain expert Expanse.tech claims to have an account in Steemit and platform are very satisfied. However, one thing that really bothers him is inorganic and an unbalanced distribution of power.
He explains:
"Initially, it became clear who owns the entire system. In Steemit they are known as "whales". Part of the "whales" are a leading developer and a couple of his friends. Whales use their right to participate in voting for certain content authors and public figures with thousands of dollars in the hope that in the future they will act as "brand ambassadors". The platform has over 60,000 users, but only 247 account holds ~87.50% number of shares voting. Steemit -- it's a great idea, which is not up to the real task, as it relies solely on the willingness of their users to get rich quickly"
In the end Scott added that the system of remuneration Steemit is based on the subjective evidence of the performance of the algorithms, subjectively evaluated award for posts and accurate for a vote. It is the main distinguishing features of Steem.
