We're proud to hold the mantle of a Steem Torch Bearer, now we're passing it to @SteemHunt!

If you want a quick refresher on what the Steem Torch is all about, refer to @geekgirl's original post when she first started this amazing initiative.


@geekgirl's original post

Basically, Steem Torch is an experiment to demonstrate the speed and trust in transferring value on Steem social network. Each receiver of the Steemtorch adds at least 0.001 Steem to the Torch to be passed on to the next Steemian they can vouch for.

In our case, after our various interaction with the guys at @Steemhunt, we can definitely vouch for them as a respectable and active member of the Steem Community.

We have transferred 407.5 Steem to @Steemhunt

You can also read the details from the helpful reporting bot that @themarkymark has created specifically for the Steem Torch Initiative here:

To whom will @SteemHunt pass the torch next?

Give some suggestion!! Would it be another platform/company? or would it be someone prominent outside of the Steem Community? Or perhaps one of our very own beloved Steemian!

Small error, you guys did <a href: instead of <a href=.

Thats good, I love following the torch and its interesting on the people who get chosen. Good to see companies and larger apps get chosen instead of just people.

yes <a href= is the correct format

Thanks for pointing that out! we've addresses the typo.

There's a physical Steem Torch out there, and his name is @rustle.

This is an interesting initiative, but the community factory of an adorable stuffed bird is much more interesting. :)

Ooo, we'd love to take a we-fie with @rustle one day! Maybe during Steemfest 2019?

He should be at the Austin block chain summit soon. If you're there, seek out @coruscate

@steemhunt was a good choice!

Perhaps it's time for the torch to travel in Korea have its extensive trip through Malaysia!

Perhaps @steemhunt can pass its own founder @project7 or @tabris?

Or maybe to one of the many prominent members of the #kr community themselves!

You’re on point brother!

The steem torch keeps on growing and keeps on giving. I am awaiting for the final receiver and see where the funds will go. Nevertheless, this initiative is quite great and the idea is new like bread. Let it burn!

I know it's adding risk, but I like seeing when individual Steemians get the torch passed to them.

No offense to you guys nor other companies, of course. In fact I think it's important to have companies participate in this initiative as well as individuals.

Basically, how I see this @steemtorch experiment is that in time, when the amount of STEEM attached to the torch is great enough, outside entities will begin to take notice [ crypto-groups on twitter, blockchain blogs, if we're lucky then mainstream media, etc. ]. When they do look into it, I hope the torch will be able to highlight [ no pun intended ;^) ] 3 different things that make Steem so cool:

  • The variety of groups / brands / companies we have here [ like you guys! ]
  • The humble & trustworthy people we have here
  • And the fantastic community engagement we have that supports, participates, and cheers on events like this

This 3 things are truly interesting when compared to other blockchains. Even the BTC torch got stolen x^D, let's see if Steem can do what the others have failed to: BE GOOD
