WELCOME BACK
Well wasn't hard fork 20 ... interesting.
We all survived and we're back to show off some awesome steempeak features before some new ones come out.
https://steempeak.com
LET'S HIGHLIGHT BENEFICIARIES
First thing to note... beneficiaries is seen by some as something you ask "Does SteemPeak or this other dApp have beneficiaries? I don't like them." We promise you'll LOVE this version of completely 100% optional by the content creator.
You can do so many cool things as a user with beneficiaries and we'll discuss that at the end.
But first HOW it works.
ADDING WHEN CREATING A POST:
You can add multiple beneficiaries
Please note the steem blockchain allows beneficiaries to be added ONLY when creating a post.
Also it does not allow any edits.
VIEW BENEFICIARIES
This is not new but just wanted you all to know where to see what the beneficiaries of the posts are... I suspect we'll see a lot more of them as they are now seen more as a valuable optional tool instead of just an imposition.
Viewing the Results
HOW IS IT DIVIDED?
From what I understand (blame @jarvie if wrong)
The ~25% curation reward gets rewarded first.
Then the percentages you choose are of what is remaining.
So far i have seen it include SP and SBD
CLEARING SOMETHING UP
Let's say: You commit to a 5% beneficiary to someone. Adding a second beneficiary has ZERO impact on that first person that 5% is still the exact same amount to them.
And for this reason I personally believe you should be able to add a beneficiary after the creation of a post (but not change or remove) But that's something I guess for the community and witnesses to decide.

Anyway you can see the results by going to a activities and filter by beneficiary
@steempeak/activities
WHY?
- Shared accounts
- Contests
- Charities
- Content negotiations
- Supporting projects / causes / people / SteemPeak. haha
What are some others?
GOOD EXAMPLE... Optionally supporting your favorite front end to increase development.
We do not use a mandatory beneficiary but if you want to support us feel free it does help ... mostly in the speed at which we come up with new things.
In settings we added an OPT-IN ability to support @steempeak with said feature. We are committed to not charging you to use our site. This optional support is up to you. And you can select this and STILL have the option for every post. #freechoice
YOUR IDEAS
Ok now my questions for you all.
- What are some really good use cases for Beneficiary system
- In the comments share good examples of accounts already using our beneficiary system to make life easier or better.
- We challenge you to write about some good use case scenarios for Beneficiary and link your blog post below!
And look i'm gonna give myself 10% for writing this post and 10% to @asgarth for developing the feature... even though he has no clue i'm doing it.
