Articles of the Week: Art, Community and Culture [Posts 4/9-4/16]
Articles of the Week is a weekly curation post - presenting Sndbox fellow content and highlighting creative / impactful work by the greater Steemit community. (Part of the SBD earned from this post will be split among the authors featured below.)
| About the Article | |
|---|---|
 | Art and Blockchain [Part2]@shortcut: Explore amazing new and experimental "Art on the Blockchain" with GIF artist @xcopy and learn, how you can distribute your own digital art with ascribe.io |
 | Illustration for @creativecrypto's "Cryptokitties" article@carrotcake: I was commissioned by @creativecrypto to paint an editorial illustration for their Cryptokitties article. This posting showcases @carrotcake's thought process on making of this art. |
 | The Art of The DJ@djlethalskillz: A Freestyle Scratch Session by DJ Lethal Skillz Showcasing 'Digital Turntablism' |
 | 14 new artworks - including some woodcuts@paolobeneforti: Here, you can explore through another series of art pieces that I finished last week. They are all made with different media but based on paper. Some are woodcuts I printed and colored. |
 | matt sokol - NO FLEX (New Song + Music Video)@heymattsokol: I took to the home studio this week to make a song. This is a crazy experience, I can promise: a pummeling electronic vibe that slowly warms up until shifting to full live drums halfway through, where things take a groovier turn. |
| About the Article | |
|---|---|
 | Programmatically check if an account is a vote bot or not@emrebeyler: I have needed a way to check if it's a steem account actually a voting bot or not for my current experimental trending page implementation. |
 | Crypto investment Strategy@Leaky20: Crypto markets in general are highly volatile and speculative and new coins and tokens seem to pop up out of nowhere each month. Though people who invest in crypto often make some serious gains, investing in token economies is not a sure thing. |
 | Types of friends@kenan1989: There are three types of friends that we have. Some of them stay for a lifetime others just accompany us for some years, months or even weeks but not all friends are equal. |
 | Everything (Almost Everything) I like here in Steemit! / 我所爱的Steemit挑战或活动elizacheng: Steemit is a magical playground. There are many awesome challenges everyday. Freewrite and ColorChallenge are two of my favourite challenges. Let's enjoy some coconut and color our Sunday purple. |
| About the Article | |
|---|---|
 | Civic Mining for Sustaining Public Assets@mintvilla: Just half a year ago, we witnessed the rise of the Crypto Kitties. These digital “Beany Babies” types were an amazing example of blockchain ingenuity and set the precedent that pieces of digital art could be smart contracts. |
 | Central Bank of Indonesia: Receive Blockchain, Reject Crypto@ayijufridar: Executive Director of Bank Indonesia, Agusman, said since the beginning of BI has firmly rejected the cryptocurrency as a means of payment. However, BI does not reject the blockchain technology. |
 | Maximize Your Purchasing Power Through International Living!@world-travel-pro: With over 11 years of budget travel experience Dan from Albany New York explains in further detail how far your money can go in certain parts of the world. Sndbox's very own World Travel Pro shares travel tips and much more in his latest article. |
 | Keep Your Email Private With Tutanota@jrswab: J. R. has several email addresses that claim to encrypt his data and even the email sent if the other user has an account with the same provider. All of them work well, but Tutanota is his favorite for many reasons. |

Thank @sandbox for managing this weekly challenge. Good job .
Congratulation to all winners ...
Congratulations to all winners.
And also congrats to @sndbox for the dedication and promotion of good content.
As always the @sndbox group supports the non-profit community and does not ask for anything in return, someday I will help my community, as you help many people, my mind is to keep growing and when I am at the top, help the most needy with my support ... without a doubt the group @sndbox is the maximum.
Although they do not believe it, maybe in the United States a publication of $ 3 is nothing and many complain about steemit but in some part of the world earning $ 3 a week is a lot of economic help.
for that reason I value everything they are doing I am a fan of @sndbox.
maybe some for this comment call me lick boots, but you have to be realistic and see what you are doing.
Hmmm interesting articles, maybe I should use the sndbox tag more.
Congratulations to all winners @sndbox
