Hidden Contests and the start of the Small Fish Games! - All are welcome to join!

Agreed! Lots of people - the best part of steem is that we are actually building the community! Do you understand the difference between steem and steemit?

I have noticed @arcange's automated messages calling out spammers and scammers, he also runs an SQL database with the entire blockchain recorded!

I think your curations efforts make Steemit great too!

Steemit = site
Steem = crypto
People often use the two interchangeably.
I have not see anything else definitive to distinguish.

Steemit.com is definitely a site, it is a site that allows us to visualize the steem blockchain. The steem blockchain, with its related tokens, has the potential to do so much more, to host thousands of sites. Usually people mention busy.org at this point, which also sees the same blockchain and visualizes us earning the same tokens.

But the key point is....Steemit is not the product, and might not even be lasting. All of what we are seeing on steemit is something deeper, locked into the chain. Thats one of the reasons the User Interface is so questionable, and last year they separated their logos.

And people do indeed use them interchangeably! Of course, its usually because they are still working towards the part where they understand the difference, surely very few of us ever fully understand everything, we just keep talking and learning I suspect.

This part is going to become more and more important, but even now, users can earn quite a bit more by posting from any of the other interfaces, because busy, or actifit, or letseat or utopian or musing.io or steemhunt or dlike or dlive or dtube will potentially give an additional upvote for using their frontend product to interact with the steem blockchain.

Have you been introduced to the writers block? They are working on a frontend as well....

There are so many, I can hardly keep track in my own head, which is why I like talking about it to other great users like you!

Yeah, there are so many which really does make it mindboggling! I like to keep things simple, lol. Otherwise, it's just too many directions at once. I use eSteem now. Dbooks is currently reinventing itself (hopefully into something that will work better than the first version.)

Yes, I'm in the Writer's Block group - I tend to forget about it a lot though because it's like everything else - keeping up is almost impossible. My writing may or may not work with them because they're looking for novel-length material (which I don't prefer) and are unlikely to be able to do my full series. However, for standalones like Chimera which I presented for their Chapter One contest, it would be of interest.

Okay, I really have to finish my Daily Sneak submission, then get onto writing.

That's alright! Thank you for continuing to interview with me here, and I am glad to have you participating on the small fish games! Don't let me keep you from anything, I can totally understand that you have other, important things to do!

If you ever do have time again, what additional tools are you using for steem? Do you use something like steemnow.com?

I primarily use steemworld.org
I'm almost gone now - though GINAbot makes sure I stay connected, lol.
I've done a good job curating today, taking my VP back down to almost 75% (below my 0.02 cutoff, anyway) - Daily Sneak coming up next.

Chat more later. I'm on Discord as well.

I love the daily sneak! I even put out an advertisement for it in the Thank you Economy Conest but it doesn't seem like there are that many people willing to put in the work!

Do you prefer chatting by comments or chatting by discord?

I think it's silly that people aren't willing to do the Daily Sneak. I can't think of an easier way to 5 SBD, honestly! Okay, a little more work than the PIFC, I guess, but for a minnow like myself with an entirely earned account, this bonus is huge! It's also the only way I can afford to keep using Minnowbooster since I can't be curied every week!

Regular chatting I prefer on Discord. Steem-related chat is perfectly suited to comments for the most part.

I totally agree! It is a great boost - I think you might be a redfish! But that's okay, they are just words made up by someone anyway.

And I agree, I do like to try not to spend so many words typing into discord, when I could be locking my conversations into the blockchain! Future anthropologists may study this conversation!

Hey where does your name, Viking Ventures, come from? Sounds like an interesting story!
