TW's steemy progress report to 8-Aug-2018

I have been learning a lot about Steem since my last progress report, some 20 days ago. During that time I have connected with many more people in the wider Steem ecosystem, and have started forging strong relationships, particularly within the TeamNZ and SteemMonsters communities. I've also learned about Chibera, a new MMORPG which will have features that will be integrated on the Steem blockchain, such as guild / clan forums and in-game trading. I'm not likely to be able to participate in the pre-release activity for Chibera, as I can't afford to invest anything, but I am really looking forward to playing it when the full release is out.

My Steem network of links

My Steem network is showing quite clearly the duality of my interests so far. On the left of the above chart (generated by SteemReports.com) are my SteemMonsters contacts, and on the right are my TeamNZ contacts. Sure, that isn't 100% accurate, but it is close enough.

My SteemPeak Dashboard

Many of my fellow SteemMonster fans have recently discovered SteemPeak, being that the SteemPeak developers have just released a new app called PeakMonsters, which is targeted squarely at the SteemMonster players. Even before this was released, I was already an avid SteemPeak user, and hopefully the dashboard charts above, generated by SteemPeak, will sufficiently demonstrate why I believe SteemPeak is superior to SteemIt as an interface. But that is just the tip of the iceberg! SteemPeak also has features like saving of drafts, post templates, and much more.

The obligatory Steemd screenshot

My previous two progress reports included one of these "report cards" from Steemd, so it wouldn't be the same without having one here. I've been on the Steem blockchain for 60 days now, I see. Another thing which is becoming a custom for me in these progress reports is to acknowledge my sponsors, @ryivhnn and @lemony-cricket for their generous delegations. Without their help, I probably would have quickly gotten frustrated with my glacial progress here when I was only on the initial 15SP delegation from Steem Inc. I feel that I owe it to my supporters to make the most of the delegation they have given me.

I am a proud member of the AUS & NZ Discord server. My thanks to @cryptonik for making me this cool #TeamNZ banner. Kia Kaha!
