Great idea lets do it!

Great idea. That will help to find things.

what a coincidence. i just used this in a post yesterday

Good idea!

Your suggestion actually goes deeper than just QA. I was thinking the other day that one of the problems of Steemit is the fact that it only presents one view of the content, a stream of general stuff. 

What makes Reddit and other networks really interesting is the fact that you can subscribe to your fave categories, and so follow only stuff you are interested in. So rather than using just a tag, why not implement a full blown sub system, where folks can subscribe to their custom feeds of topics they like?

Or am I missing something?

After payouts posts can not be edited so some of them will fall out of date with no way to fix them.

I love this idea! I would love to see us similar to quora in some sense too! I feel like a lot of great discussions have happened on there.

I don't think you are appreciating the complexity of the reward, incentive and moderation, curation system in Stack Exchange. It's really non-trivial. It's not a simple thread structure, it's a delicate balance.

But since it's already developed, why not use the open source code of Stack Exchange and implement a third party app on top of Steem? That would be way more feasible them trying to do technical q&a inside Steemit.

I think applications like this will take off as soon as the core dev team clarify what opportunities there are for revenue generation for the application itself. Without that clarification nobody serious will invest time into building other applications on top of Steem because the competition is too steep for another Freemium company.

Hi @proskynneo!

Could you contact with me on steemit.chat (https://steemit.chat/direct/noisy)?

I have few different proposals about implementing Q&A on blockchain. Conceptually I've worked on it more than a half of a year. I would like to share share my thoughts about it with you :)

Seems even in 2016 we can get in a situation when it's really difficult to PM a person on the internet so I'm adding a comment here to actually talk to https://github.com/mvandeberg I'm asking about adding the bin for ubuntu 14 in the release page of steem on github, or even send me if you - for some particular reasons - are again publishing also bin there.

A good idea, but i think as soon as the steemwiki is up, posts about steem should not be )

It might be worth considering implementing changes however in order to address some of the issues that grew out of Stack Exchange.  Quick, obscure, and unhelpful responses unfortunately can garner larger votes than the well researched and thought out answers.

Further a reward system for returning and providing the solution would be fantastic as too many questions are answered, but not publicly and thus provide little benefit to users further down the line who run into the same problem.

As a proof of concept I love this idea and believe it has a lot of merit,  hopefully if it takes off some sort of system can be put in place to address these concerns and provide a much better platform to help people.

Good idea with some tricky points.  But maybe it could possibly manage to take hold in some category with the right community and users.
