in #steem3 years ago

Steemit is inviting applications for Country Representatives.

You can now buy STEEM for Fiat on Binance.

Today's Steem News also includes news and updates about SBDs in post rewards, AVLE, Powered Up STEEM, a Solar project in Nigeria, the sad death of @mariajruizb, and Contests on Steem...



1. Country Representatives

Steemit Inc is starting afresh with Country Representatives.

They are inviting people interested in becoming a Country Rep to submit an application by by 11.59pm UTC, on Sunday, June 26th, 2022.

Existing Country Reps, if they want to continue in their role, need to make a new application as well...

For reference, there have been 22 applications so far...



2. Buying STEEM with Fiat on Binance

@happycapital reports that Binance is now allowing STEEM to be bought directly with fiat currency.

The currencies that can be used to buy STEEM include AUD, BRL, EUR, GBP, NZD, RUB, TRY, UAH...


Because of the current low price of STEEM, 50/50 post rewards are currently paying out in STEEM and SP rather than SBD and SP.

@happycapital explains the 'debt ratio' mechanism that causes this. He estimates that the STEEM price will need to rise to $0.28 before SBD appear in rewards again...

More information can be found on pages 10 & 11 of the Steem White Paper...



3. AVLE Updates

Witness developer @etainclub continues to post regular updates on the progress of his AVLE app.

In his latest post he gives details of issues found by the AVLE beta testers...



4. Powered Up STEEM drops a little

The latest stats from @remlaps show a small decrease ( 0.15%) in the amount of STEEM that is powered up.

The past week has seen a 250K decrease to 157,362,651 STEEM powered up, equivalent to a value of $31,751,534...


@remlaps has also been tracking the impact of Steemit's burnsteem25 campaign encouraging people to set a 25% beneficiary to @null to reduce the amount of STEEM, which potentially will increase its value...



5. World Smile Project - SolarSteem in Nigeria

The SolarSteem project being run by @ubongudofot and the World Smile Project team in Nigeria has made progress.

@ubongudofot has received the Installation Permit Certificate for the project...

Unfortunately because the price of STEEM dropped significantly since the initial budget was prepared the project is on hold at the moment pending raising further funds to make up the shortfall...



6. Death of @mariajruizb

Active Venezuelan Steemian @mariajruizb sadly died recently leaving behind a husband (@danieldedosd2) and two young children.

Her close friend @reinamia was among those who paid tribute to @mariajruizb...

Thanks for the update Sir. It is great to note that this publication is the #438, that's great job from you.

Very valuable information, thank you for sharing the information...

Thanks for mentioning me in this edition of Steem news. I really appreciate it.

🥰🥰🥰

Agradecida por tan completo resumen, de verdad lamentamos la perdida de nuestra hermana venezolana. Dios la tenga en su gloria

Algunos están desanimados por el bajón del mercado, además de la poca cantidad de Steem que se ganan por recompensas; me imagino que el sentimiento del mercado hizo que decayera un poco el power up. Igual estamos haciendo todo lo posible con la iniciativa de "quemar steem" 🔥 para que se pueda estabilizar un poco el precio y así contrarrestar. Dios te bendiga, esperando el próximo reporte. 🙏

Thanks for including our publication about the demise of our dear MOD. It means a lot to us

Thank you very much sir for providing this extraordinary information.

Thank you very much dear Sir for providing so much important information.
