As an experiment for this idea I will reward the person with the solution 1/2 of this posts total SD received.
CAN CROWDSOURCING TECH SOLUTIONS WORK?
Can Steemit become a go-to for quick and effective tech support problems? These problems can be anything tech related - smartphone issues, computer issues, etc. This could also apply to web developers that need help with code or how to replace a tail lightbulb in a vehicle - the list of problems that could be crowdsourced here on steemit are endless. Right now I am having an android problem that is frustrating and I am sick of searching and searching online through pointless answers. I am willing to offer a reward for a solution rather than replacing an expensive smartphone. Let's say that that someone discovers a tech or life problem prior to going to work but needs a solution by the time they are off work . . . Steemit users could find the problem for you while you are at work. Some of us are just too busy to find a solution and would be willing to offer a reward.
HOW IT COULD WORK
Tech issue is posted with the following:
- Parameters of reward are clearly stated
- Time frame of solution indicated
- The Steemer with the correct solution by the time needed is selected by the original poster through a response indicating that they found the solution.
- After payout for the post the winner is rewarded
WHY WOULD STEEMERS WANT TO PARTICIPATE?
The obvious reason is the monetary reward. The second reason is interactivity, further building their Steem Power and being active on steem. Even if a posts reward is simply an upvote by a member it builds interaction - there may be times there is little or no money from the post. Some people great web sleuths and have time, why not get rewarded. What do you think?
MY TECH SUPPORT ISSUE
Android Phone LG 4G LTE
tech issue - for the last couple weeks the top right hand side touch screen is not working on many apps. I cannot post on Instagram now from my phone because the post button is in that area. The area extends down and inch and over about 1/2 inch. What is strange is that I can use that area within the Android photo editor but nothing else.
reward - will be 1/2 the value of this post.
**time frame - ** no time limit
Help me save my phone : )
