1. Community Curators for September
Steemit Inc is inviting applications for Community Curators for September.
Applications are invited from teams of two or three people.
For September there are no minimum SP requirements for individuals or teams.
The closing date for applications is 11:59 pm UTC, on Saturday 24 August 2024...
There are applications from 6 teams so far...
2. Check Your Witness Votes
There is currently an upswing in activity amongst the witnesses.
One of the main targets currently is the reordering of the top witnesses to move the inactive witnesses down the rankings and bring up lower active witnesses.
As part of this @steemchiller has added a pop-up message in Steemworld.org as a reminder to make sure your witness votes are being allocated wisely. Check none of your 30 votes are being used on inactive witnesses, and instead give your votes to some of the newer active witnesses among the lower ranks.
@inspiracion and @ubongudofot have both posted about this...
To help track which witnesses are active and which are not @pennsif has restarted Witness Weekly...
Pennsif the Witness
After almost 2000 days on Steem I decided it was time to take my contribution to the platform to the next level.
I have therefore set up as a Steem witness... @pennsif.witness

Noticias de Steem @ 18 de agosto de 2024: Curadores de la comunidad para septiembre: postulaciones abiertas
Thank you for the Spanish translation of Steem News.
Great newsletter! I love the idea of meetups...would love if we could get one in the US eventually. #Goals
The World of Sports is also starting a weekly sports writing contest if anyone is interested in that. Something new: the link explains everything, and it's in three languages.
Just find 4 or 5 and start with them a BBQ, fine weather, waterside, good chats and... the snowball effect starts.
Or organize for those who can't be present in person the new age meeting (you know the lockdown luxury): screen time, online lessons & fun. Show something or...
Develop a (sports) game out of Steemit since that's what this platform feels like and has in common with sports: addictive, adrenaline, money invested, power up is more energy, more levels, you do tasks and hope to find tips, advice, a booming booster or... 😲
Why is it my screen gets blurry, I hit a kitty 🐈⬛ or a bomb you say because I didn't engage enough and didn't upvote? 😥 Wait, wait let me click the upvote button to achieve a higher CSI!!!
🤑 look I am rich... 🤯 what did I forget? Typing comments? Alexa please give a hand and...
Yahoo! Let's celebrate 🥳. Aaaah, why!!!😩
GAME over 😖
Does Steemit have its game yet? It can be a big hit @the-gorilla @el-nailul @chasad75 @aneukpineung78 you know someone?
#comment #steemit #game #meeting
Game?, you may remember Splinterland back there in 2018, I earned some, but it was stolen and they took all the cards. Maybe someone can build something alike for us now
Isn't it still active?
We could fo that but I like another game. We can go farming it seems to be a trend.
I hit the link https://steemit.com/created/curatorapplication and it's really entertaining.
What is entertaining? The game I talked about with @chasad75 or did you already build it or the weirdest "engagement" and far of promising in the comment section? I keep my mouth shut before I say what I think.
you should hit the link and see for yourself. 😆😆
You know me and links 🙃
the link i provided was from pennsif article, dont hit mine coz i am a bad hacker, hit the one in his article, and be entertained. 😅😅
You already know the answer right? 🐈⬛
I was thinking same what if Steemit team make a game that will be linked directly to Steemit. I am a regular player of Whiteout Survival game. Its a survival strategy game and it has 600k plus users from around the world. What if they will launch a cryptocurrency and then link it with their game?
I was thinking if Steemit launch a game and it can be strategy type game where users will earn points that will be converted to SP not Steem and can withdraw it to Steemit wallet. A little advertisement of that game will bring a lot of users on Steemit as well. Yes the first step will take a little time but it will boost traffic. Plus if you make a strategic game, users love to play it everyday. I myself play Whiteout Survival 3-4 times in a day since I installed it. The reason is it attracts me and mostly players. Steemit game can be anything else but it should be like keeping the users engaged. New events new maps new bonuses every week or two.
I think it's a very good idea and even if it's not perfect at the start it will be attractive and if it's connected to the platform, for example some simple tasks about how it works and you have an account, a few more tasks and you earn SP or ...
If there's nothing to win it can be addicting look at all those farming games people play. I agree it's also a way to relax and be focused on something else.
Обязательно проверю свои голоса за свидетелей в свой следующий заход в кошелек. Спасибо!
