Hi steemians!
Hi, my name is Michel, which ~95% of English-speaking people unconsciously convert to "Michael", but that is fine too because my parents almost did name me Michael instead! :)
I am a mathematician specializing in Machine Learning, and I work for a scientific NGO, combining data from many sources (satellites, ground measurements, crowd-sourced) in order to better understand natural disaster risk.
At the moment I know close to nothing about blockchains, cryptocurrencies, or the whole ecosystem building up around these things. But I've decided to come see what all the fuss is about. And steem was heartily recommended to me to get started, so here I am!
Cheers
Hello welcome to steemit
in short you can visit the site busy it's a platform related to steemit ca can help you write your post more easily https://busy.org/@cris02
if you have questions do not hesitate to ask me and you can find answers in https://steemit.com/faq.html
Thanks for the welcome, cris02! Do most steemians use busy.org?
No ;-) There's other alternatives, and there are new and different ones coming up all the time, but to this moment steemit.com is the most commonly used platform.
I use busy when someone links a site to me but I am a loyalist for this platform. I like steemit and have gotten really accustomed to it. Love all the front ends though, it really spreads the word quickly
I think steempeak.com is a nice option :)
check it out! a lot of cool features all in one place!
Hi all! Thanks again for the welcome.
I have a question concerning the voting and "pending payout". It says that the pending payout of this post is $18.61 (which is huge, I am very surprised!). I understand that it splits into SP and SBD, and I more or less understand the gist of what those two things mean.
However, is there some way I can see a breakdown of "who gave how much"? i.e. which user(s) contributed the lion's share of this amount?
so Michel is spoken like Michelle, isn't it?
people often write me miela though my pseudonym is mielia
with your job you would have some interesting topics to write about :)
others mentioned busy, I prefer steempeak.com
Hi @mielia, yes it's pronounced the same. Is mielia Finnish?
I love seeing new people with skills like yours come aboard, I am happy to help if you have any questions, I have a great community with wonderful support on discord and we don't ask anything of our members, its free and people are really cool.

Thanks @vladivostok! By discord, do you mean the VoIP app?

Thanks @wstanley226! What is a Steem strategist?
Welcome to Steemit buddy
I Presume that is Remote Sensing and Geoinformatics
I am Michael too
I thought "Michel" is another form of Michael
Hi fellow Michael, thanks! Yes, both sensing (remote & local) and informatics (geo and otherwise) are a big part of our work. Are you working in a similar field?
Yes, I am
I studied Geography in first degree and worked with an Space Agency that deals on Remote Sensing and Geoinformatics as an intern.
I hope to get a job in that area but have been unable to get any since graduating
Keep looking! I recommend doing some open source work; you learn a lot, and what you produce can serve as a kind of portfolio in your job search.
Yeah
Thanks!
Welcome! Enjoy the dive :)
Thanks @pharesim! Not diving yet, just dipping my (cryp)toes in :)

cryp(toes) nice brother :)
By the way thanks @pharesim, I finally figured out that you single-handedly doubled my SP on my first post... bit slow to catch on :)
