CENT: monetize your posts and get ‘seeded’?

What I like about CENT [not to be confused with Cent.io crypto staking earning site — to be covered another time] are the new updates which bring a much clearer interface, cool logo, and the simple way you can ‘seed’ or get seeded. Eh, what’s this seeding thing? This is the ‘patreon’ aspect or ‘universal creative income’ concept (nice catchphrase).

Basically, with some Eth in your wallet, you can tip anyone at the top right corner of their posts, or you can ‘seed’ them a regular payment to support their work or project, via their personal profile.

So, Cent is a cool dapp for sharing anything, and it’s nicely integrated with mobile crypto wallets like Metamask, Trust etc. or via web browser (with web3 wallet).

When you post something, it costs a dollar, (or more if you wish) to reward the best reply to your post, so you must pick the winning comment at some point. This obviously incentivizes interaction with the platform and good comments, and promotes better quality posts.

I’m not sure if this will always be the best way to do it. Still, it’s interesting for now. I guess you don’t need moderators because people spending money to post, just won’t get anything out of it. But people are cunning. You’ll get a lot of ‘pity me’ posts and con artists without any real thing going on.
