Announcing 100 DAYS OF STEEM!

in #steemit4 years ago

The past is the past, but the future is Steem.

We may have been quiet over the past few weeks, but the team here at Steemit, Inc. has not been idle.

We have been busy gathering ideas, talking to people, discussing strategies, and making plans for the next phase in the growth of Steem.

Now we are ready to announce…



100 Days of Steem

This exciting new program is designed to take Steem forward to the next level.

Under the 100 Days of Steem project we will be making a new announcement every single day for the next one hundred days.

These announcements will include new developments, new initiatives, new delegations, new projects, new appointments, new apps - all designed to build the Steem ecosystem and move it forward.



Day 1 : The Steem Community Hub

To kick off, we are announcing a new Steem Community Discord.

This will be the hub for our activities going forward.

We will be using this Discord to hold meetings, to discuss ideas and invite suggestions, to answer questions and most importantly to stay connected with the Steem Community.

We want to make this Community Hub as inclusive as possible, with channels for all major language groups and interests.

The Discord is being set up now and will be opened to the community in the coming days.

Everyone who wants to play a positive part in moving Steem forward will be welcome to join in.

To help us make the most of the Discord we are looking for members of the community to help run it as admins, moderators and developers.

If you would like to get involved with this please comment below in the first instance giving a few details of how you would like to help, any language or technical skills you can offer, a little about your background on Steem and your Discord account name.

We may not be able to offer roles to everyone initially, but we will do our best to accommodate as many people as possible that would like to help.

These roles will be voluntary but there may be a few treats and surprises along the way for active participants!



The Next Steps...

We realize we are living through difficult times.

With the current Covid-19 pandemic the world is facing a crisis on a scale that has not been witnessed since World War II.

Steemit, Inc., along with the Tron Foundation, wants to play its part in supporting its loyal community.

There are of course limitations to what a social blockchain can do.

But we believe Steem is a special blockchain with a special community.

Over the coming days, as part of our 100 Days of Steem project, we will be announcing a number of initiatives to help us get through this together as a community.

I look forward to seeing you all again tomorrow for our next announcement.

Thank you,

Elizabeth Powell
Managing Director of Steemit, Inc.

Hi Eli, thank you very much for this post and to let the Steeminas know what is going to happen and keep the people updated. It is a great initiative and a brave step from you side to put you name under the post, not like other people who hide them behind the user names and using such swearwords and their insulting attitude.
The way how they behave just puts me off Hive, when I imagine that they are all there, I would then rather to be away.
You have my support of of my friends, Cheers

After 100 days... maybe even Steemit will move on Hive!😉

If your so negative about steem why bother here instead of keeping to hive?

Because it takes 13weeks to power down and leave. As you can see, they already started to freeze wallets... this is a very bad direction.

We try to be gone asap, in that you can trust.

So whats the point of all the negative abusive comments? Seems like certain people are trying to push for this to happen just so they can claim they were right. Please don't take this as me speaking against people's right to voice their concerns far from it just don't see the point of mixing ethnicity,political views and often being downright abusive to anybody who doesn't agree!
there is a lot of bad play on both sides in my opinion to be honest.

Wasn't the hive side against shortening the power down period?

P.s. thank you for your rarely seen cultured response on the matter!

Absolutely savage 😂

And may not! That's the game. 😆

Hay tanta gente en el mundo que no conoce Steem y aún se consideran indispensables. Hagamos cada quien lo suyo por atraer nueva sangre, dejen de sufrir por lo que se haga aquí y vayan a lo suyo en Hive.

Ironically 100 days is just over 13 weeks. I can't wait!

Good point, LOL!

Thanks for the update!

As Futureshock members we will be happy to welcome new users on the steemit discord and to help technically new developers to get started on Steem.

We would be also glad to contribute to the 100 days of steem by releasing a new dapp!

Best regards,

Thank for your offer of help.

We will very interested to hear more about the new dapp...

Great timing for Steem and SteemIt Inc. to come back to life.

I offer myself as a moderator for the Hispanic community, I am a long-time user of steemit and my forte is literature. My user on Discord is joseph1956#1977
I would also like to start a healing group for Hispanic users specializing in Literature

Thank you for your support.

Have you started a Community on Steem?

Hi Elizabeth, to tell you the truth, I think that in steemit good and positive things come. I would like to be part of this team and contribute some ideas that add to and help the growth of the community. I am interested in being part of that Discord. I have met many good users and great writers, scientific poets with really interesting articles were never supported and their publications did not produce even 1 dollar was unfair. I am interested in participating with my Spanish-speaking community and I have the team to cure and objectively value the users of the Spanish language. I totally offer myself to give my best for the growth of steemit in this new era.

Discord.

User Discord: @electrodo # 0279

@electrodo

Thank you for your support.

More news coming soon...

I'm glad to read the good and positive news again. I think Steem's near future is full of new opportunities. Of course I'd like it to be for me, too. Like the new delegations. I am of the opinion that a project must stand on its own feet but a helping hand with the first steps can make a difference. That is why I would like to see a system of temporary delegations (from 6 months to 1 year) rotating between projects to multiply the opportunities.

I look forward to the new Discord. As a Spanish developer and small investor I hope to be able to help the Steem community in general and the Hispanish community in particular.

Here we go Steem!

Thank you for your support.

I hope you like the Day 3 announcement for the Community Curators.

Is @arkmy part of the Radaquest team?

Thank you for your interest! Arkmy helps me a lot to promote my project. Unfortunately it is a very low budget project and at the moment I cannot recruit members for the team. His input is very valuable and I am grateful to him.

At the moment I have only 12k SP and I use it mainly to curate art works and claim accounts for future players of Rada Quest TCG.

Do you have a post that explains the basics of how your games works. And also how it works with the Steem blockchain? We are interested to know more about Radaquest.

Of course. Rada Quest is a strategy and trading card game that I'm still developing (@marcosdk). It uses Steem's blockchain to witness users' actions in the game, such as starting games, receiving rewards, or trading items. Currently, during the development phase, I use Steem Engine tokens while waiting for the release of the SMTs.

Several months ago I published my proposal but it didn't get support: https://steemit.com/steemleo/@marcosdk/rada-quest-tcg-for-steem-proposal-system

I'm developing all the code and almost all the card artwork myself. There's a lot of work to do but you can already play a mini-game where players can win tokens that will serve as currency in the game (Soul Crystals) and magic potions for crafting.

https://steemit.com/hive-161342/@radaquest/rada-quest-tcg-public-beta-is-open-for-gems-mini-game

The mini-game can be accessed through the official website via Steem Keychain:

https://game.radaquest.net/

The ultimate goal for Rada Quest (Trading Card Game) is a living game in constant evolution thanks to the appearance of new cards with each new event along with a market for buying/selling cards and other game items that, I hope, will generate great movement in Steem and attract new users.

I have also created a financing system, or pre-purchase, similar to the purchase of shares in the project. Since I arrived at Steemit a year ago, I have learned that in this community the more you give, the more you receive. That's why I want it to be a participatory project, not only with the possibility of sharing the benefits, but also as a gallery for other artists who collaborate with their illustrations. Unfortunately the system has not been very successful and funding has been small. So far I have found it very difficult to get my project seen to the comunity.

Thank you very much for your attention. I hope you find this information useful and interesting. I am at your disposal to answer your questions.

Thank you for all the extra information.

Will you be developing the game on Hive and Hive-Engine as well?

No, Hive is not in my path. I don't think Hive is a safe place for entrepreneurs or investors because of its governance

Thank you for that. I hope we can find ways to help support and promote the Radaquest game.

The Steemit Team

About the Day 3 announcement for the Community Curators I really like it but I don't have time to do curations on such a large scale due to my dedication to developing Rada Quest. But if you guys consider delegating to @radaquest, Arkmy could be then the curator of the team and the project could improve its funding and increase the number of accounts claimed

So if I can use your account I can help Radaquest, Radaquest gets better and brings in people from the community and new users to this blockchain, is a Win-Win.

There are still many members who believe in Steem. Those who are against steem shout the loudest, but are by no means in the majority. You can clearly see where most of the contributions are published and that is not HIVE.

I created a curator account almost 2 years ago, where living curators select by hand, German-language contributions that get a vote. We have many German speaking members who continue to stay on Steem. Some of them even exclusively.

I am also the founder of a German network for social interaction, which has about 180.000 members in Facebook groups. I am currently bringing some Facebook members to Steem. This is the most important point that decides how the social media sector will continue. The chain with the most members will win the race.

I am also one of the members who have been blacklisted for the Airdrop. Since freedom of speech is not wanted and they didn't want me on Hive, I will use all my energy to help make Steem strong again.

@steemitblog I would look after the German-speaking area on your Discord and bring along German-speaking members who still believe in Steem. Also I am gladly ready to speak about it like one humans from my network to Steem to lead can. I am quite experienced in it new members for something to inspire and finally also bind.

Years ago I proposed that we put languages in the meta information of posts that get posted on Steemit. Also language detection and internationalization based on browser's headers would be a good feature. I don't know whether this happened on Steemit because I speak English but it sure never happened on Golos.

Thank you very much for the updates Eli, we are all here together bringing the community to life. There is no giving up, @team-mexico is with you and with all the people who have great talent. We will continue supporting.

We continue to be positive in the face of all this. Cheer up/ Animo. :)

Thank you for your support.

And thank you for your Community Curator application.
