Masmic.com is a website where you can ask questions and receive answers...yes, nothing new under the sun...You can achieve the same using Quora for example.
But the main difference in here is Masmic rewards users by answering questions posted...better say, asking users "tip" best answers using Stellar Lumens (XLM) so you CAN EARN answering questions or upvoting others answers...pretty nice!!
I discovered Masmic when they were in Beta stage and sign up into website was only thru invitation links: direct sign up was not allowed.
Now they are wide open to everyone and Masmic gets a huge impulse in terms of the number of users, but something i noticed too is that the numbers of answers regarding a single topic or question has been exponential increased becoming poor answers and sometimes..nonsense.
I've seen questions with 586 answers or 128 or 140...huge amount of answers to a single question don't you think? The problem in here is when Masmic was beta closed, amount of answers were less(much more less) and they were high valuable, simple, concrete...and it was easy to get a piece of reward by answering or by upvoting...but now everyone can sign up, answering system has downgraded himself at the point of spammers have taken sometimes the entire answering thread for a question.
Now is very hard to get some reward in XLM because of this. That leds me to a couple questions:
1- Will blockchain projects who allows rewarding people by activities permit every kind of people to sing in?
2- Would be better to have fewer users in order to guarantee a higher quality in activities developed inside the platform?
...i think blockchain projects needs to review this aspect. As a proposal i think these projects may conduct a "test phase" were they allow everyone to sign up and, and based on users activity's quality and content posted ban some users and let those who are most valuable to the system and to the people paying for answers(or whatever they are paying for)
The value of blockchain projects are tied to their users base so, having a huge user community but with low quality value downgrades projects to the ground...that's why Masmic.com is not helping much people right now.
