This is awesome! (Are admins allowed to participate? )

5. One suggestion from my end is that certain FAQ type answers in the form of "?" within the wallet providing information about staking, SBPs, voting etc. should be included. These would be very useful for new participants and less tech-savvy users. A separate button on left side with name '"Learn how this works" can be added in which we can have basic tutorials explaining and showing how staking, voting, SBP, token migration etc. works in the wallet. #vite

This is actually a really good idea. Easing the onboarding/familiarization process for users new to the Vite ecosystem will go a long way towards incentivizing user engagement and "stickiness".

I like what you said about the SBPs and the efforts being made by two of the more visible ones in promoting their nodes and in doing so building communities around themselves and for Vite in general. I think the nature of Vite's DPOS consensus mechanism will naturally cause the largest communities to form around the biggest nodes (i.e. nodes that stand the highest chance of being SBPs). Node owners are incentivized to develop on and promote Vite in order to attract votes and by doing so increase their chances of becoming an SBP (and receiving attractive payouts). At the same time, VITE holders are incentivized to vote for node owners who have the highest chances of becoming SBPs, in order to secure the rewards paid out by SBPs. This creates a virtuous circle effect, where development/promotion attracts votes (and therefore community), which encourages development/promotion, and so on. Once the smart contract and DEX functionalities goes live, I think we will see more node owners actively participating in the development and promotion of the Vite ecosystem in order to encourage holders to vote for them. It is still early days, but Swissvite and Snapsecure are truly setting the pace for the rest of the node owners to follow.

Great post! It is refreshing to see some constructive criticism, as only by recognizing and addressing shortcomings can we improve

@bonita_v Awesome!

Very creative! I think you're the first to use a video format to showcase your experience with the Vite testnet. My two main takeaways from using the testnet are:

1. How simple it is to conduct send transactions on the network. For casual users like myself, not having to worry about paying enough gas to ensure my transaction goes through is awesome.

2. As you mentioned, the speed at which the Vite network operates is sensational. Send and receive transactions complete in seconds, all while being secured by the snapshot chain.

Thanks for sharing, and keep creating more cool content!

Thanks for joining us, and hope to see you around!

@Richard_Yan Is there a specific limit to the amount of quota a user can obtain by running PoW? When should a user stake VITE in order to obtain quota?
