We also concluded that the large amount of content on the platform that is related to blockchain technology would eventually help new users understand the origin of the money. Therefore, our goal became to get people to [join now](https://steemit.com/faq.html#How_do_I_create_an_account) and let them teach themselves about the platform while participating and earning. \n\n# SBD and not STEEM \n\nWe decided to first only exchange [SBD and not STEEM](https://steemit.com/faq.html#What_is_the_difference_between_STEEM__STEEM_Power__and_Steem_Dollars) so as to discourage our clients from [powering down](https://steemit.com/faq.html#What_is_powering_up_and_down) their STEEM Power into STEEM which they would first have to convert into SBD in order to exchange it for KES. The STEEM Power enables them to [earn more](https://steemit.com/faq.html#How_are_the_new_tokens_distributed) in the long run and that is better for everybody. \n\n</blockquote>\n\nhttps://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@ambiawatu/introducing-people-in-kenya-to-the-steem-blockchain-where-you-can-earn-cryptocurrency-by-posting-and-curating-high-quality\n\n## Objective \n\nThe goal of the exchange was to prove to people in Kenya that the monetary rewards were real and accessible so as to motivate them to join the platform and contribute posts or comments. \n\n### Focus group \n\nWe identified a few content creators to act as a focus group. We introduced the focus group to steemit.com and our exchange service. \n\nOnce the question of how to access the monetary rewards was answered by our exchange service, the focus group then developed reservations about the cryptocurrency aspect for various reasons. \n\nSome of the members of the focus group also claimed that they could not relate to the homepage content on steemit.com which was mostly about Steem itself and other blockchains. They felt they could not produce similar content. Others went as far as claiming that they did not want to be associated with such content. \n\nUsing tags, the focus group was directed to posts on topics the members could relate to. The feedback then became a bit more positive but unfortunately the first impression of steemit.com had already had a strong negative impact. \n\n#### Local financial institution \n\nThe exchange service would eventually need to be automated and that would require a local financial institution to approve access to their API. With regards to the API access approval, the feedback we got from the focus group was not encouraging. \n\n# User interface \n\nThe feedback from the focus group pushed us towards deploying our own user interface for the Steem blockchain. The user interface would be localized for Kenya. It would filter Steem posts to those tagged Kenya and maybe other relevant tags and also maybe filter out cryptocurrency posts and other topics on Steem that make the average Kenyan uneasy. The filtering would be continuously reviewed based on the feedback we get. \n\n## Website versus mobile app \n\nWe opted for a website instead of a mobile app due to the faster deployment and the wider reach of a website. Also, the existing open source web-based user interfaces for the Steem blockchain, in our opinion, offer better user experiences than the existing mobile user interfaces even on mobile devices. \n\n### Busy versus condenser \n\nThe two most popular web-based user interfaces are condenser which is used by steemit.com and busy which is used by busy.org. We opted for the busy user interface mainly because of its layout and features. \n\nhttps://github.com/busyorg/busy\n\n#### User registration \n\nUser registration would still be redirected to steemit.com as it is done by some other popular web-based user interfaces such as busy.org, utopian.io etc. Condenser would have offered a more uniform user experience when redirecting users to steemit.com. This is less so after the introduction of the new signup link and user experience which suggests the use of one account with multiple user interfaces or applications. \n\nhttps://signup.steemit.com\n\n#### SteemConnect for user authentication \n\n>SteemConnect gives you full access to the Steem ecosystem without giving up your private keys. That’s right, never risk a malicious or incompetent 3rd party app getting your private keys again. SteemConnect acts as the identity layer in between that enables participation without vulnerability. \n\nhttps://steemconnect.com\n\nWe also felt that integration with steemconnect.com would be easier with the busy user interface as busy.org would act as a case study since it uses SteemConnect for user authentication unlike steemit.com which authenticates users directly. Using condenser would have replaced the burden of setting up SteemConnect with the burden of safeguarding users' keys. \n\n# Series \n\nThe posts that follow will not necessarily follow the following trajectory or structure.

We also concluded that the large amount of content on the platform that is related to blockchain technology would eventually help new users understand the origin of the money. Therefore, our goal became to get people to [join now](https://steemit.com/faq.html#How_do_I_create_an_account) and let them teach themselves about the platform while participating and earning. \n\n# SBD and not STEEM \n\nWe decided to first only exchange [SBD and not STEEM](https://steemit.com/faq.html#What_is_the_difference_between_STEEM__STEEM_Power__and_Steem_Dollars) so as to discourage our clients from [powering down](https://steemit.com/faq.html#What_is_powering_up_and_down) their STEEM Power into STEEM which they would first have to convert into SBD in order to exchange it for KES. The STEEM Power enables them to [earn more](https://steemit.com/faq.html#How_are_the_new_tokens_distributed) in the long run and that is better for everybody. \n\n</blockquote>\n\nhttps://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@ambiawatu/introducing-people-in-kenya-to-the-steem-blockchain-where-you-can-earn-cryptocurrency-by-posting-and-curating-high-quality\n\n## Objective \n\nThe goal of the exchange was to prove to people in Kenya that the monetary rewards were real and accessible so as to motivate them to join the platform and contribute posts or comments. \n\n### Focus group \n\nWe identified a few content creators to act as a focus group. We introduced the focus group to steemit.com and our exchange service. \n\nOnce the question of how to access the monetary rewards was answered by our exchange service, the focus group then developed reservations about the cryptocurrency aspect for various reasons. \n\nSome of the members of the focus group also claimed that they could not relate to the homepage content on steemit.com which was mostly about Steem itself and other blockchains. They felt they could not produce similar content. Others went as far as claiming that they did not want to be associated with such content. \n\nUsing tags, the focus group was directed to posts on topics the members could relate to. The feedback then became a bit more positive but unfortunately the first impression of steemit.com had already had a strong negative impact. \n\n#### Local financial institution \n\nThe exchange service would eventually need to be automated and that would require a local financial institution to approve access to their API. With regards to the API access approval, the feedback we got from the focus group was not encouraging. \n\n# User interface \n\nThe feedback from the focus group pushed us towards deploying our own user interface for the Steem blockchain. The user interface would be localized for Kenya. It would filter Steem posts to those tagged Kenya and maybe other relevant tags and also maybe filter out cryptocurrency posts and other topics on Steem that make the average Kenyan uneasy. The filtering would be continuously reviewed based on the feedback we get. \n\n## Website versus mobile app \n\nWe opted for a website instead of a mobile app due to the faster deployment and the wider reach of a website. Also, the existing open source web-based user interfaces for the Steem blockchain, in our opinion, offer better user experiences than the existing mobile user interfaces even on mobile devices. \n\n### Busy versus condenser \n\nThe two most popular web-based user interfaces are condenser which is used by steemit.com and busy which is used by busy.org. We opted for the busy user interface mainly because of its layout and features. \n\nhttps://github.com/busyorg/busy\n\n#### User registration \n\nUser registration would still be redirected to steemit.com as it is done by some other popular web-based user interfaces such as busy.org, utopian.io etc. Condenser would have offered a more uniform user experience when redirecting users to steemit.com. This is less so after the introduction of the new signup link and user experience which suggests the use of one account with multiple user interfaces or applications. \n\nhttps://signup.steemit.com\n\n#### SteemConnect for user authentication \n\n>SteemConnect gives you full access to the Steem ecosystem without giving up your private keys. That’s right, never risk a malicious or incompetent 3rd party app getting your private keys again. SteemConnect acts as the identity layer in between that enables participation without vulnerability. \n\nhttps://steemconnect.com\n\nWe also felt that integration with steemconnect.com would be easier with the busy user interface as busy.org would act as a case study since it uses SteemConnect for user authentication unlike steemit.com which authenticates users directly. Using condenser would have replaced the burden of setting up SteemConnect with the burden of safeguarding users' keys. \n\n# Series \n\nThe posts that follow will not necessarily follow the following trajectory or structure. A lot will depend on our work trajectory. We welcome comments and suggestions on anything and everything. \n\n## Deploy the default busy user interface at [ambiawatu.com](ambiawatu.com) \n\nThis has mostly been done but we are still working on security.

We also concluded that the large amount of content on the platform that is related to blockchain technology would eventually help new users understand the origin of the money. Therefore, our goal became to get people to [join now](https://steemit.com/faq.html#How_do_I_create_an_account) and let them teach themselves about the platform while participating and earning. \n\n# SBD and not STEEM \n\nWe decided to first only exchange [SBD and not STEEM](https://steemit.com/faq.html#What_is_the_difference_between_STEEM__STEEM_Power__and_Steem_Dollars) so as to discourage our clients from [powering down](https://steemit.com/faq.html#What_is_powering_up_and_down) their STEEM Power into STEEM which they would first have to convert into SBD in order to exchange it for KES. The STEEM Power enables them to [earn more](https://steemit.com/faq.html#How_are_the_new_tokens_distributed) in the long run and that is better for everybody. \n\n</blockquote>\n\nhttps://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@ambiawatu/introducing-people-in-kenya-to-the-steem-blockchain-where-you-can-earn-cryptocurrency-by-posting-and-curating-high-quality\n\n## Objective \n\nThe goal of the exchange was to prove to people in Kenya that the monetary rewards were real and accessible so as to motivate them to join the platform and contribute posts or comments. \n\n### Focus group \n\nWe identified a few content creators to act as a focus group. We introduced the focus group to steemit.com and our exchange service. \n\nOnce the question of how to access the monetary rewards was answered by our exchange service, the focus group then developed reservations about the cryptocurrency aspect for various reasons. \n\nSome of the members of the focus group also claimed that they could not relate to the homepage content on steemit.com which was mostly about Steem itself and other blockchains. They felt they could not produce similar content. Others went as far as claiming that they did not want to be associated with such content. \n\nUsing tags, the focus group was directed to posts on topics the members could relate to. The feedback then became a bit more positive but unfortunately the first impression of steemit.com had already had a strong negative impact. \n\n#### Local financial institution \n\nThe exchange service would eventually need to be automated and that would require a local financial institution to approve access to their API. With regards to the API access approval, the feedback we got from the focus group was not encouraging. \n\n# User interface \n\nThe feedback from the focus group pushed us towards deploying our own user interface for the Steem blockchain. The user interface would be localized for Kenya. It would filter Steem posts to those tagged Kenya and maybe other relevant tags and also maybe filter out cryptocurrency posts and other topics on Steem that make the average Kenyan uneasy. The filtering would be continuously reviewed based on the feedback we get. \n\n## Website versus mobile app \n\nWe opted for a website instead of a mobile app due to the faster deployment and the wider reach of a website. Also, the existing open source web-based user interfaces for the Steem blockchain, in our opinion, offer better user experiences than the existing mobile user interfaces even on mobile devices. \n\n### Busy versus condenser \n\nThe two most popular web-based user interfaces are condenser which is used by steemit.com and busy which is used by busy.org. We opted for the busy user interface mainly because of its layout and features. \n\nhttps://github.com/busyorg/busy\n\n#### User registration \n\nUser registration would still be redirected to steemit.com as it is done by some other popular web-based user interfaces such as busy.org, utopian.io etc. Condenser would have offered a more uniform user experience when redirecting users to steemit.com. This is less so after the introduction of the new signup link and user experience which suggests the use of one account with multiple user interfaces or applications. \n\nhttps://signup.steemit.com\n\n#### SteemConnect for user authentication \n\n>SteemConnect gives you full access to the Steem ecosystem without giving up your private keys. That’s right, never risk a malicious or incompetent 3rd party app getting your private keys again. SteemConnect acts as the identity layer in between that enables participation without vulnerability. \n\nhttps://steemconnect.com\n\nWe also felt that integration with steemconnect.com would be easier with the busy user interface as busy.org would act as a case study since it uses SteemConnect for user authentication unlike steemit.com which authenticates users directly. Using condenser would have replaced the burden of setting up SteemConnect with the burden of safeguarding users' keys. \n\n# Series \n\nThe posts that follow will not necessarily follow the following trajectory or structure. A lot will depend with the content we will have to share. \n\n## Deploy the default busy user interface at [ambiawatu.com](ambiawatu.com) \n\nThis has mostly been done but we are still working on security. The post about this is expected to be next. \n\n## Rebrand the default busy user interface \n\nThis will basically be replacing the busy logos and colours with our logos and colours. \n\n## Setup SteemConnect for user authentication \n\nThis will be replacing @busy.app with @ambiawatu in the SteemConnect login process so that users actually login into ambiawatu.com and not busy.org. \n\n## Define a financial model for sharing posting rewards with users and supporters \n\nThis will be done in a similar way to dmania.lol. \n\n## Integrate local fiat exchange \n\nThis will be done in a similar way to blocktrades.us on steemit.com. \n\n## Add button to handle external links to supported Steem content \n\nThis will be adding a button at the end of every link to a web-based Steem user interface such as steemit.com, busy.org, utopian.io etc. The button will give the user the option to open the content on ambiawatu.com or the original user interface depending on the users' settings. \n\n![aw-banner-1600.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVJtESLdJzyPC1pNzjvfgAY3LDA2gqPDiybwjMewW3Zaf/aw-banner-1600.png)\n\n<br /><hr/><em>Posted on <a href=\"https://utopian.io/utopian-io/@ambiawatu/deploying-and-localizing-a-steem-user-interface-for-people-in-kenya-and-then-integrating-a-crypto-to-fiat-currency-exchange\">Utopian.io -  Rewarding Open Source Contributors</a></em><hr/>",
