The 11 teams who have put forward Foundation proposals to the Steem Alliance have been invited to present their ideas at a one-off special State of Steem Forum on Thursday, 9pm - 11pm UTC, on MSP Waves.
The Foundation proposals have been submitted by @aggroed, @alexvan, @bluefinstudios, @guiltyparties, @impactn, @jackmiller, @surfermarly & @steemitqa, @thehive, @upheaver, @ura-soul and @valued-customer.
The forum will be hosted by @pennsif and guest-host @whatsup.
DrugWars introduces FUTURE token
DrugWars has introduced a new token FUTURE. This is named after FutureShock the company behind DrugWars, as well as Fundition and OnGame.
The token will be used for rewards going forward in the DrugWars game...
First of all, we would like to notify all the players that in 48h the daily prize and the heist will see some changes. There won’t be anymore rewards with Steem, instead we are adding a new mechanic that will allow you to earn the FUTURE Tokens. While the daily prize will increase depending of your rank, the number of maximum deposit will be also limited until we deploy our final solution against bots.
[NOTE : The FUTURE token on Steem-Engine.com is not connected to DrugWars or FutureShock.]
PicWar – a new gambling game on Steem
A new gambling game called PicWar is coming to Steem.
PicWar is a huge battlefield that consists of 10 000 cells with images. When you add your image to the canvas you get tokens which allow you to earn dividends and compete for constantly increasing jackpot.
The PicWar team is currently crowdfunding to cover development costs using a PICWAR token on Steem-Engine.com.
In the meantime they have released a photomosaic made of 300,800 Steem avatars. There are prizes for finding a hidden secret and certain images.
Digital West joins the Steem Merchants business project
The Steem Merchants project in Venezuela that is recruiting businesses to accept payments in STEEM and SBD has added Digital West to its roster.
Digital West in Caracas offers a range of digital printing and advertising services.

Steem - The People's Blockchain
A great read from @niallon11...
STEEM is the gateway to cryptocurrency that people just don't know about yet. That will change and the sooner people realise that the better it will be for them.
