KNITRIAS PROJECT | Definition and Roadmap

cantomikePosted for Everyone to comment on, 4 years ago14 min read


The Steem blockchain was forked into a new blockchain called Hive. While many authors and communities decided to move completely to Hive, many users still see the Steem blockchain as a source of work, inspiration and good relations. Many have expresed the desire to stay in both chains and many are still undecided what to do with their funds. For now new projects need to surge to fill the absence of initiative for the users to grow.

Who is Knitrias?

I'm Doctor Knitrias Maryana, I can say that I'm a character from a time when everything was determined by precise codes and calculations of our technology. I was born in a laboratory and by myself I designed my own son before I was 20 years old. The story which I come from was cut short in the middle of a fork in a blockchain, my spirit wants to find ways to overcome the separation by proposing a positive plan of action. The answer will surely be to provide inspiration to a group of authors and that perhaps create many lines to continue to trace the possible course of this story. I have some ideas.

  • Situation in Steem: We are going through a time when are needed initiatives to support and retain valuable users with education in the operation and the best ways to harness the potential of this blockchain and its applications.

  • The project will consist of the creation of a group of 10 accounts that have between 0 and 150 sp. to boost them to the Minnow level. Having accounts with some SP will be important in muttually accelerating the accounts growth.

  • The project seeks to be transparent and self-regulating.

First stage

  • A second publication will be made in approximately two weeks in which the Mission and Vision of the project is expressed, which will also include the shared ideas and the adjustments suggested in the comments on this proposal and Roadmap. This second publication will also serve as a Announcement and presentation space for the candidates.

  • Nomination campaign: 2 weeks are proposed from the publication of the Announcement, which will be closed when reaching 25 candidates according to the publication time of their applications. It will not be possible to edit the applications, this implies disqualification. In the event of an error in the application, it is preferable to delete the comment (if still possible) and republish, in which case the time of the second publication counts. The minimum number of candidates to start the project after these two weeks will be 10.

  • Criteria for the selection of the candidates:

+They have a minimum of five publications and a sufficient level of communication on the topics of interest of each account.

+They have performed at least one power up regardless of the amount in the last two weeks.

+No plagiarism. They have taken care to place the sources in their publications regardless of the format.

+Adequate history of interactions via comments.

+Interest in teamwork.

+Interest in the functioning of the ecosystem in the steem blockchain.

+Interest in the growth of the own account.

+The intention is for it to be a group with the greatest diversity of nationalities possible, although seeking that most of the publications to be bilingual with an English translation.

+In this first stage, the group will accept only two members who declare that their publications will only be in English and only two who declare that they will publish only in Spanish.

+During their stay, they will be encouraged to adknowledge and writing in another language of their choice, through publications and comments.

+Why English? It is a language that allows connection with people from all over the world.

+Why Spanish? It's the native language of the first reviewer, @leveuf.

+Anyone interested in the project will be able to review bilingual applications in languages ​​other than those mentioned above.

+In subsequent stages and according to the development of the project, new roles will be determined around the organization of the work among all its members, as well as other participation plans for users who wish to support the project.

  • The application process will consist of a presentation (preferably bilingual) authored by the candidate himself through a comment in the Announcement post, with the option of receiving support through votes and comments on his work by all interested in the project. It is not advisable to use curation trails at this stage of the application to better appreciate the organic support they can get, although it is not prohibited either. The amount or number of votes and comments does not determine the selection.

  • Final selection by: @leveuf. Results will be published. There will be no appeal process.

  • The @leveuf account withdraws its current delegation, leaving only 150 sp to the @knitrias account, which will have been voting for other users, including possible candidates or users who may be interested in the development and/or support of the project. The first stage concludes when the voting power in @knitrias is at 100% vp and 150 sp delegated by @leveuf. Setting of the votes. Stage 2 must begin.

Second stage

  • Duration: 6 months.

  • Goal: The accounts must come to own by themselves the amount of 500 sp. Each account that reaches 500 sp along the way gives his place to a new account.

  • The @leveuf account delegates 200 sp to each of the selected accounts under the following conditions and commitments:

+Make at least 2 weekly posts and up to one daily post to be supported, with a constantly growing quality in terms of format and presentation of the posts, adequate communication of their topics of interest and responsible attention to comments on their publications.

+Vote at a percentage of 100% and comment on a minimum of five publications of colleagues from the Knitrias Project daily.

+Self-voting can be seen by various users as something positive or negative. It is considered in this context that it could be helpful in the growth of the accounts, however it will be at the user's discretion to use it or not. If so, it may be in posts, no more than once a day. No self-vote in comments.

+The rest of the votes may be distributed at the user's discretion in the publications of their interest, trying to the maximum extent to leave positive comments to other authors.

+Each member will try to make a distribution of the five votes for other members so that they do not focus on the same users over time. However, at the same time it will be necessary to attend to the faster growth of the smallest accounts.

+Members who do not publish on a daily basis are encouraged to make a really meaningful comment of considerable length in a post by a fellow member of the Project. One comment per day may be voted instead of the post.

+Members are encouraged to keep voting power above 75%

+Members must agree to power up at least 75% of the weekly rewards.

+The intention is to maintain the greatest activity of the group in the blockchain without using other servers at this stage to share information, publications, comments and activity proposals.

+Members are encouraged to use constantly the tag #knitrias-project and upvote the weekly report.

  • The @knitrias account will publish weekly reports with a summary of the content of the members' publications related to the project. As well as pertinent statistics to observe the development of the members' accounts and also the transactions carried out by the @knitrias' wallet.

  • Members are continuously invited to write parallel scenes or possible developments in the story of Dr. Knitrias Maryana and the other characters in "The logevity Statute". Even new characters are welcomed. This, however, is not mandatory.

  • Each week the report will propose to the members a topic of research and content production around the context of the blockchain that is the first headquarters of this project. The proposed topics can range from the basic description of a blockchain, through the consensus algorithms PoW, PoS, DPoS, Voting System, RC's, Nodes / Witnesses, Proposal System, Applications; as well as issues regarding the format and presentation of posts, copyrights, promotion, etc. This activity will be constantly promoted and although it is not obligatory, strategies will be sought so that all members find at some point means of expression on these topics in their publications for the Project.

  • Among the publications for the project you can talk about characteristics or news of the various cryptocurrencies in terms of description and analysis, however it is proposed to discourage those publications that invite trading or provide financial advice or referral links, however they will not be strictly prohibited, especially if the information of the post, the knowledge, opportuny and its presentation are worth it.

  • Members share their posts and news of their own activities within the group in the comment section of the weekly reports.

  • The Knitrias Project does not share or is opposed to any particular or general point of view in the authors' posts, opinions or comments, nor does it assume any right or responsibility for the work of its members.

  • Votes for member's posts will be scheduled automatically within 5 minutes of posting, with voting paused if 80% voting power is reached. Thus avoiding the judgment of the administrator when voting or any delay in the voting time. Attention to the current voting power in the @knitrias account will be the responsibility of each member. Member comments to receive daily vote will be supported manually, as well as votes that have not been automatically cast. (Review in Mérida, Mex. time).

  • Despite the automation of voting, all supported posts and comments will receive a review comment by @leveuf account.

  • The Knitrias Project will always encourage good communication among its members and with all steem users. It will only implement basic rules for permanence in the group, without becoming responsible for issuing any judgment or penalty on the activities of its members or their work.

  • The focus of the project will be promoting creativity, encouragement to work and mutual, productive and pro-active cooperation among its members.

  • Any self-regulatory proposal found as useful or necessary by the members of the group will be attended, always taking into account the principle of balance between freedom of expression of individuals and their strategies for the adequate communication of messages and respect among all members. and to all users.

  • The @knitrias account will re-steem the supported and also the most interesting posts of its members and other users.

  • The @knitrias account will start voting with its own sp creating a trail with a first member, the @leveuf account following at 30% (at this time @leveuf will only have +/- 300 sp). Knitrias Project will seek to consolidate this project by attracting the interest and support of various users and communities that will be joining the voting trail during this stage.

  • Project members will seek to consolidate their own growth and support base by seeking collaborations with various projects and users in the steem ecosystem or other blockchain projects. The sooner each member reaches 500 sp, the more it can offer a new member the opportunity to integrate. This does not imply in any sense the separation of the members with the Project, but rather it is encouraged to find ways to continue supporting based on the bonds created with their coworkers. The initial work plan is six months but staying is voluntary.

  • The re-steem of the weekly reports of the @knitrias account and of the posts of its members are recommended for all but not mandatory.

  • Intermediate evaluation and adjustments three months after the project started.

About the permanence of the members in the Project.

  • The Project will work based on the stimulus and not on the sanctions.
  • It is highly recommended to publish a minimum twice a week and not to spend more than three weeks making a single publication.
  • Two weeks without publishing with no prior notice or communication from the user means the suspension of the support.
  • An inadequate distribution of votes will receive constant calls for attention, leading in some point to the suspension of support.
  • The appeal processes of the suspensions will be determined among the members if any.

About the @knitrias account

  • The @knitrias account only votes publications and comments from users supported by a delegation from the Knitrias Project or eventually any of its graduated members.

  • The account @knitrias will never vote the account @leveuf or that of any user who supports it via trail or delegation and does not belong to the members of the work group.

  • The @leveuf account can receive notifications but will not attend to project issues on his account blog.

  • One daily vote per member. 10 daily votes. In case of special publications: 1 more vote when possible (members only).

  • The @knitrias account does not vote witnesses or SPS proposals. But it can promote awareness of those projects among its members and invite them to spread the information through each one audience.

  • It is sought in this first stage that the @knitrias account can reach through its activity at least 500 sp. A new member will be added to the group supported through @knitrias delegations if the account reaches 1000 sp during the first four months of work.

  • During these 6 months, a possible account creation process will be evaluated using @knitrias liquid rewards or donations, which may be designated to the invitation under the supervision of one of the members who is fit and willing to do so. According to their evolution from their creation, these new accounts would be on the waiting list to join the delegation support of the Knitrias Project.

  • In this first stage, the @knitrias account intends to work with the voting trail and will not seek delegations, although they will be well received and with the corresponding recognition in the weekly reports, greeting the support and also disseminating the work of these projects and users.

  • Near to the six months of conclusion of the first stage, it will be evaluated if the project continues under the following conditions:

    • At least half of the members have reached or are close to reaching 500 sp.
    • The @knitrias account has reached or exceeded 500 sp.
    • The members have developed a good working environment within the collaboration group and there are wishes to continue working.
    • Members who are graduates or who are about to graduate are also willing to support new members with their delegations.
    • The project has garnered positive attention and support from a growing number of users.
    • A distribution of activities and responsibilities is established among members interested in continuing to participate in the growth of the Project in a spirit of autonomy and self-management.
    • The @leveuf account undertakes, if the Project continue, to maintain the support of up to 5 members, gradually reducing its participation as more members graduate or the @knitrias account can itself support the delegations.
  • In case the suspension of activities is determined, the @knitrias account will power down the entire accumulated sp, distributing 75% weekly for power up of the members who have covered the entire first stage. 25% will be donated in fluid weekly to important projects decided among the users and initiatives that have supported the Knitrias Project.

Possible Third stage.

  • Creation of a community in steem and other blockchains.
  • Creation of an administration team.
  • Creation of a moderation team.
  • Growth in the number of members for support and review.
  • Creation of a curation account.
  • Investment opportunities in the project with financial stimulus.
  • Launch of initiatives for the general steem ecosystem and others.
  • Definition of the evaluation process and audit of the Project.


Any input, discussion, recommendation and interest in support this initiative will be much appreciated.
