Introduction to BADGES on SteemPeak.com

Peak Projects (St...@steempeak (72)2381d

Another day another cool announcement... we're getting people aware of new features before we soon move every tool from https://beta.steempeak.com to https://steempeak.com

WHAT IS A BADGE?

Visual representation of a connection to a group/theme. A public decentralized list with actual graphical badges on SteemPeak.com

INTRO TO STEEMPEAK BADGES.png

We've started a new feature set that we think will

Help connect people
Help users find content that is interesting to them

BADGES

Badges will show up on your profile page
Which badges show up on your profile will eventually be customizable
They may even extend to allowing you to share a badge on posts and comments
You can mute the badge account to be removed from the badge
They are built on top of a Decentralized Public List that any interface can use

see them live on https://beta.steempeak.com/badges

BADGES HAVE UTILITY They have extra utility because clicking on them takes you to other people who post about similar things... thus it's a great tool to help users find content that relates to them.

Feed of users who have that badge
List of users who have that badge
Graphical connection on their profile (then later other places)

COMMUNITY VS BADGES Communities on Steem are WHERE you post content related to specific topics... badges help identify and maybe help UNITE even users from varied but similar communities.

DECENTRALIZED PUBLIC LISTS

We do not presently have an easy badge creation system for badges. However it's pretty easy to make one because we use a pretty common and decentralized system for the Public Lists. We are simply using the following list from designated accounts.

For our badge system we will use the following list from accounts @ badge-000000 "badge-" then 6 numbers. (Find one that is available)

HOW TO PREPARE TO TURN A PUBLIC LIST INTO A BADGE

Create an account
Follow all the users you want to give the badge to
Edit name of the account and the description
Badges will display as square... so please upload a SQUARE image for the profile image of the account.

HOW TO GET AN ACTUAL STEEMPEAK BADGE

You can create a public list with or without us. A badge from SteemPeak does much more than give a list of users. SteemPeak reviews badges and will add them on our end

SPECIAL DEAL Presently as we are developing this feature we are willing to do some badges at no cost.

WANT TO CREATE A BADGE? Contact us or write below to tell us the name of your idea. And we could pre-approve your badge. Or contact us with the account name and we'll look to see if you've done it ok See some examples here: https://beta.steempeak.com/badges

@donekim(77)· 2377d
Is there an additional procedure for listing? I have created 2 badges for this but I couldn't find them on https://steempeak.com/badges.

Hello @steempeak I'd like to apply for the Steem Project (Active) badge for the accounts @co2fund and it's 'parent account' @simplex-world. @co2fund is the posting account of the CO2 Compensation Project and @simplex-world is the account of the Swiss association that hosts the CO2Fund project. Both accounts operate on Steem as their foundataion. _{A general remark: Maybe the term (Active) is not necessary within the badge titel since a project always is active. If it's not active anymore it should not have a Steem Project badge or maybe another badge like Former Steem Project}
@knowhow92(79)· 2378d
Hey guys, I would love to create a badge for our skateboarding community called "Steemskate" (https://steempeak.com/c/hive-173115) but I didn't quit get the instructions!
@contrabourdon(73)· 2379d
Hi @steempeak. I've created @badge-323232 for the organ music community. Can you please check if I've done everything correctly?
@jasonbu(65)· 2380d
Great Idea. Just set up the FOODIE badge/list with a few test users. The badge account is @badge-120586. It would be for active FOODIES on the community site. List is https://steempeak.com/@badge-120586/lists/Active%20Foodies
@mattclarke(71)· 2380d
Gangster. Every 3 months a new, updated league drops on pathofexile.com (free to play game, incredible). I run a hardcore race for steemsters (hardcore = when a char dies, they dead. Want to keep competing? Start a new one). I'm keen to roll out badges for guys who've won best in class. Next race is in a couple of weeks. You've given me some stuff to think about :)
@eco-alex(76)· 2380d
id like to make a badge for the ecoTrain community.. a square logo is supplied below. possible?
@jacobpeacock(74)· 2380d

@derangedvisions(81)· 2380d
Oh snap! Gotta start designing my badge now.
@jongolson(82)· 2380d
Would love one for the CTP Tribe.....What do you need on our end? We have the graphics and all, just a bit slow when it comes to doing the techy stuff...
@eii(72)· 2380d
#MyDailyColor as a badge
@bashadow(70)· 2380d
I like the badge concept. A quick feed and one more way to see/find content. I was kind of surprised to see I had one, the Tester badge. I do like trying new things out so that was nice to get, thanks to whoever gave it to me.
@arcange(79)· 2380d
Congratulations @steempeak! Your post was mentioned in the Steem Hit Parade in the following category:
- Pending payout - Ranked 3 with $ 70,11
@cadawg(70)· 2381d
@steempeak, #STEEMians of the UK as a badge? Also: Holders of @plankton.token?
@carapthian(46)· 2381d
As a new user of Steem(it) I have been looking of witnesses to vote for. Based on this post, I just found the second Witness candidate who will receive my vote
@teamhumble(74)· 2381d
incredible. YES! :) can i suggest you also consider making them into openbadges, that way the next way of creators, makers, bloggers can actually show to future jobs that they earned badges at a certain time -- https://openbadges.org -- mozilla made a standard for it.

you get like a digital backpack with them in, we could mint NFTs for them too ;) -- either way, badges are rad AF ;)

Thank you, for all your work.
@bravedevelopment(54)· 2381d
Great idea and glad to hear that this concept is in working. Badges are an awesome concept in any social networking or platform since they encourage more community interactions. As a developer sometimes in platforms that i work or develop we use badges part of Gamification related features.

@joeyarnoldvn(68)· 2381d
I like badges. Sounds like a good idea.
@ash(74)· 2381d
can I have a SteemPeak Beta Tester badge? :)
@stuffbyspencer(62)· 2381d
Hey this is a pretty neat feature! I really appreciate all these cool new features you're tacking on top of the chain :^)

Any plans on making this a free & open system, or will there always be a payment required? ( I appreciate the act of having it be free for now in the beginning )
@steemitbloggers(69)· 2381d
What an awesome idea @steempeak! You guys are on the ball!!!!

I would Love to get an official badge for our Power House Creatives community... (this account) - would that be possible and where to from here? Do I just go the DIY route or...?

also - (probably a stupid Q... but how do specific communities get "FEATURED"?
@riverflows(82)· 2381d
Yes!!! Can I make a LOTUS badge for Nat Medders? Please? Pretty Please? Sugar on top? A 'Natural Medicine Crew' badge seems too long and hard - but a LOTUS symbol and 'NM Crew' could work?
@atyh(79)· 2381d
ah...i don't even know how to use steemit since i register in July 2019. i only have 0.002 steem earning so far
@inertia(75)· 2381d
I just realized that badges have some characteristics of SMT Oracles. Although, I guess that repository is now gone. Too bad.
@coinchaos(63)· 2381d
Good Work!
@brazilians(62)· 2381d
Hello, @steempeak! We have a Brazilian community here and love the idea, can we participate?

@cmplxty(78)· 2381d
My god, could you folks have been in charge of Steemit Inc please? We’d have insane amounts of functionalities if that were the case!

Another day, another fantastic update, keep it up!

@chekohler, looks like they kicked off your badge idea, hoping Splinterlands does the same!

I think some badges for Splinterlands would be sweet, not sure how to integrate it but on peakmonsters you could scan for things like number of gold foils, number of legendaries among other game related things.

For the Steem blockchain, perhaps badges for number of actual posts, number of comments (where I truly shine, comment whoring lol). I’ll see if I can think of some ideas!
@chireerocks(75)· 2381d
@steempeak, This is awesome development team. In my opinion two things are really effective about this Development and those are, **Attraction (Value Addition To User 👤 Interface) and next one is Content Discovery.

Keep up the awesome work team and good wishes from my side. 🙂

@clixmoney(78)· 2381d
It's really a great option. I'm in love with steempeak now. ♥

You can add to that list community founders for example.
@abitcoinskeptic(75)· 2381d
Looks neat. But seems like a way to sneak in more advertisements, too. Hopefully people don't go overboard, like some do with ther post ~~advertisements~~ footers.

Edit: to clarify I'm worried my feed will turn into a disco show of tacky badges and colors. People will be playing pokemom...gotta collect em all
