WHAT A MOMENT. Sometimes Chatting Goes a Long Way
I just had a chat with one Steemit member who was a bit worried I was trying to cheat the platform by getting high rewards and upvoting myself with the Utopian Bot, that as you know has almost 4 MILLION SP.

The chat did not start well at all and I was really seeing a bad situation, giving the fact this user is super powerful.

Eventually we found a way to get out from the bad mood and I explained my reasonings behind the Utopian project.

![U5dsNZF2ko4b6ohe517Xy3nwSEj8ndP_1680x8400.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdwkrPLLkC9pjbjHfNfXEo8Sje56wDLwHaAj4W7C5dF7p/U5dsNZF2ko4b6ohe517Xy3nwSEj8ndP_1680x8400.png)

## I Will Send Whatever I Earn From My Posts to @utopian-io
I am getting high rewards that's true and the reason for that is that the Utopian Bot considers the amount of rewards generated as one of the params and based on that will decide the voting weight. Another param is the number of contributions and obviously I am at the top of the list since I am working 100% of the time.

I usually earn more than $50 on my posts and the Utopian Bot just acts consequently. 

As you see in my wallet I use these money to donate to collaborators and I always put a memo, but apparently this is not enough to show my good intentions.

**Therefore from now on every earning I get will be sent to @utopian-io. Partially will be powered up and partially used to reward collaborators and cover other costs.**


## I Have Just Delegated 4K and Sent My Few SBD
Just did the first step and delegated 4K SP to @utopian-io and sent the few SBD that I had. I will do the same on every reward that I get.

## Utopian Does Not Come For Free

- Servers have a cost
- Marketing has a cost
- Collaborators have a cost

@utopian-io will cover that and on top I will keep investing from my own pocket for the project to grow.

## Hopefully This Shows My Good Intentions

And at the end the chat with that Steemit user went fine ;)

@elear dont put too much on your self with people's comments, at times have to know where we stand, we are all in the same boat. The better and faster steemit is growing, we can see the rewards then. In the future, these small frustrations will just be like a mosquitoe bite. Such foolish to think that it is testing ones mental strength.

I'd rather see a serious developer get paid, than those idiotic daily posts raping the reward pool with auto-upvotes from whales.

Amen.

Just take a look at the trending page. I've seen links to music videos earning over 100 dollars because of voting rings/whales. Yet developer who built the most promising project all by himself in quiet is getting chatted up by Steemit inc employer. I sincerely hope this employer is also contacting many of the whales/voting rings for the same reason, otherwise he must have blinders on. 

Ethereum is as big as it is thanks to all the devs building on top of it. We need plenty more around here and Utopian is one of our best chances to attract them along SMT'S. I wouldn't personally mind if elear would get 100$ a day from reward pool as he's project can bring in huge amounts of value to the ecosystem for years to come, even decades. And I say this as a SP holder. I might have to reconsider this position if important Steemit Inc members are this much out of the loop when it comes to their own product. I'm amazed really.

I don't even look at the trending page anymore. When I first started on Steemit, that page was so impressive, inspiring and intimidating at the same time. As time went by, I started to learn the intricacies of this platform and realized the pattern on that page. Always the same people being portrayed on it, always the same whales upvoting them.

I am sad of this news. But I admire you for how you responded. Yes, having these things come it with costs. And one way I can see for you to cover for them is with these posts or votes you get from the bot. 

Honestly, you're doing the community a service for putting this up and you deserve (i'm not sure if that's the right word for it) to get at least get something from it.

But for the sake of that one person, I salute you for your move.

There is something called "Juicio temerario" I don't know the exact translation to English but I will try to explain. It means when someone who doesn't know you, your reasons or your situation comes to think you are doing something for a bad motive or that you actually ARE a bad person.
That happens everywhere/everyday. Sometimes it doesn't go so far, bit this guy took it the next level it seems... 
I am happy you could solve this like a gentleman.

And I hope people (including me) could always give others the benefit of first thinking they have good intentions or at least doubt instead of hardly thinking they are evil. 

Congrats for this awesome project! I will stay around trying to contribute :D

How do you still earn money if you do that? You quit your job for that and had an income higher than 10 generations of my family combined. Of course one could argue about the amount that comes together for you but to demoneytize your content altogether seems unwarrented.

Your contribution to Steem and the world is higher than 99.9% of all Steemians. Utopian can speed so many developments. You, dear @elear, have earned more than you already got. Not less - or nothing at all. Still confused about that.

Hy,

Hmm... as i see the project going i believe in what you do.

And at some point you deserve to get some remuneration. It is your project, your idea and the work to get so many people involved and after that to maintain conversation and also work in the same time i don't think is easy.

So, pecuniary incentive should exist. This will motivate you to go on and even to pay other people for help. You already need help to do things.

But, if you said he is super powerful he must saw something wrong... and is good that you had that talk to him and also i think is the best thing that you made this post.

I don't know how i was able to find it now but i did ;-)

And love your transparency in doing things.

If that will be a motto for what you do you will have a big big advantage in front of a lot others. And i think this will lead you to a great success.

So, from my side, you should have a part of what you write here, otherwise to work for free to such a big project it won't help you sustain it more and make it better.

I don't have time to be here on steemit and also on utopian and other great projects because i need to pay the bills. And with no money you go nowhere...

So, i hope i will have the power to make steemit and utopian at some point in the near future as a regular job to can do one of the things i like.

Here i could go with my photography, graphic desing and maybe someday will continue with programming... who knows ;-) Here i go with my dream... hehhe, sorry for that.

Coming back to you, i understand what you say and you can make this things maybe posted on the main page on utopian as they are. Expenses that are needed to maintain the current infrastructure and maybe you can create a group, a team to have them as permanent people, or at least to have a minimum jobs that are needed to maintain the platform.

I know it is not polite for us to know that details, but i understand also his point of view. There are a lot of scammers around real life and also crypto.

And also i don't know you either. But here, it is a point where you really did something and some people are earning already over your shoulders. That's the biggest thing that can happen today. To have immediate response to the work you have done.

That is the best way to motivate people to go on and to make things better and better.

I hope you will find a balance to that and posts like this one to let the money come to you too. I don't know if you have another income from here and that's why i say that.

Cheers man and be well

L.E.: And the upvote from time to time, not excesively i think it should be a healthy habbit. Just not as Jerry Banfield does!

Why he could upvote with his money so much and earn unjustified rewards and a developer can't?

Of course, there will always be issues regarding money so there it should be a balance to everything we do. Everything that is exaggerate must stop.

This is serious, 
I would have called that envy, but i. Won't, i read one of your post about u leaving your job to invest on your utopian-io project, and a part you said something about growing  the community for the better good, well from the start i can see your intentions were good, the steemit and utopian authors belive in you and your project, ned supports u, so we all are, ☺ ☺ cheer up

@thegoldenphoenix ·
but @elear yes you are the CEO of #utopian-io but you still a contributor too so it is fine to get rewarded for your hard work this is the main idea behind #utopian unless you are manipulating the system for your good which is the last thing i believe you will do.
i hope that everything will go smoothly with you and i hope that you will be rewarded for your great work because you deserve it .
