Golden Nuggets #2 is here!
Golden Nuggets is a weekly edition highlighting good posts, authors and happenings that has yet to be fully discovered and rewarded as well as 'best of' moments from comment-sections from all over Steemit.
What to do when you find a nugget yourself? Contribute by replying in the comments of a post you think is a Golden Nugget with :
" @btotherest This is a Golden Nugget! "
This way, it will also be easier to track who gave what tip, so that I can tip the tippers.
To start this issue of we have @pixielolz who shares her first LSD experience with us here at Steemit!
LSD - First time down the rabbit hole
Not only is that a great story that has not revived the attention is deserves, @pixielolz has contributed with a lot of other good posts in art, for example Here is her latest post, a Steemit themed speed-drawing tutorial!
A small golden nugget was found in the history recorded on the blockchain:
"your art posts are very cool. great to see more different content on here ! 5 SBD for you to buy you a coffee. donation from GiveBack"
Props to @knozaki2015 for gestures like this!
Check out @sagar and his posts where he explains what Ethereum is in a great series, with two so far. Give it a read and some appreciation, it's well written!
Understanding Ethereum Part 1
Understanding Ethereum Part 2
The science community on Steemit will huge..
And here might be the first time we as a collective can award our teachers directly for educating us in different fields, take @justtryme90 for example, somewhat a hidden gem and might well become a pillar of science in the future considering the quality of the post he makes.
One of his post that deserves more attention because it's such a big deal is this
What is CRISPR and Why should I Care About it?
Here is a great series @justtryme90 is writing about DNA!
* Part 1: The Basics of DNA
* Part 2: DNA Replication
* Part 3: How Does the Cell Get Information Out of DNA?
This post was supposed to be featured in the last Golden Nuggets..
It's an amazing post by @marklyford about depression called
The Phoenix - The Reality Of Depression
And before you scroll past this..
Have you really read the post? It's a tough subject and I think that is partly why this post hasn't done better. Because we all have this looming around us, if it's not grandparents or parents it's friends or colleges that has/will or are suffering from depression. Props to @marklyford for writing about this!
And who better to offer some help and someone to listen but the left-out star of Golden Nuggets #1, Klye!
Klye is here for you!
Klye was one of the posters that should have made last weeks nuggets! This guy has won steemit over early with his crude and awesome illustrations but had not been rewarded fully we thought, but since last week @klye has gotten some fatter-fish-love and the future is looking bright! It's cool that your thinking of other steemians and their well beeing.
Steemit Depression - KLYE is here for you
For those interested in AI @alexgr has written a long good post about The Catalytic Effect of Artificial Intelligence
That just has gotten 8 votes,(including mine) which is crazy. So give it some love!
An up-and coming writer-star on Steemit?
@manicmidnight writes really good, for example the latest Never joke about road and it's definitely worth the read, but who are you? Steemit want's to know who manicmidnight is with an introduction post! :)
Picture taken from the only comment on the post, where @innuendo tips @manicmidnight to include a picture in the post, good job @innuendo for a constructive comment!
In full:
"Damn!" she exclaimed.
Damn, this is some seriously good writing. Definitely worth the time.
It's a shame you haven't been noticed so far here on Steem. I'm quite far from being a whale but I'm gonna try to >help you out.
EDIT: Would you consider adding an image to help your story stand out a bit more? Something like this maybe? I >know it's some sort of marketing trick but it's a damn good story and I feel bad when it doesn't get the attention it >deserves.
In the time of this writing, @manicmidnight just replied to that comment, check it out
We finish of with some originally composed music from johannes-kersthold and his song "Chicken"
After bobbing your head to this, don't forget to vote, he only has 6 votes at the time of writing this!
Announcement:
We had big hopes for the first post and for the design-challenge but only a few submissions turned in, but those who did put in an effort were great, just look at @Sulev 's first and second entry.
However the judges decision is to use a logo made by @condra (and will not be getting a reward since he's a judge)
We hope that when Golden Nuggets has more of a following - We can have another go at a bigger design competition again!
However, the two entries to the challenge will not be completely forgotten for their efforts!
@sulev - will be awarded 15 steem$
@suchnewb - will be awarded 10steem$
Thank you for your tips!
@cryptoiskey - 3$
@condra - 3$
@menta - 3$
If anyone has not been mentioned for giving a tip that was featured, I'm sorry and please remind me! @benji on https://steemit.chat
And again, by replying in the comments of a post you think is a Golden Nugget with :
" @btotherest This is a Golden Nugget! " You will have submitted the link/author to Golden Nuggets
See you next week in Golden Nuggets #3!
Great issue. I can see this becoming very popular. Lots of great content is falling through the cracks so it's nice to see it being given a second chance.
Agreed! I've been so busy looking for minnow content to highlight I have been missing out on so many other great ones like these...only so much content one can consume!
This is an awesome idea. I'm writing this comment so I can come back and read more of the posts - the LSD post got me hooked!
Good job my friend!! :))) Cant wait for nuggets 3 :))
Thank you for the shout out man..
I look haggard in that video as I'd just gotten up and read my messages.
Keep fighting the good fight man!
Voted for chicken. It was played with gusto! Great roundup of steemit postings. I have saved the pages so I can quickly refer to it if I come across a nugget! In fact one day I hope to have a nugget! How odd does that sound lol.
Thank you @btotherest for featuring me.
NICE!!! way to go man. I read that story, the rest not os much.
Great finds :)
Love the series keep us updated, etc :D
