So everyone knows the current Steem "class" system based on how much Steem Power you have. It goes like this:
1,000,000,000 Vests - Whale
100,000,000 Vests - Orca
10,000,000 Vests, - Dolphin
100,000 Vests - Minnow
Less than that - Redfish
Well with Hard Fork 20, we will have a new class of functional Steem accounts, that start with literally 0 Steem Power. I think it is a significant step, to move from zero to non-zero, so we should have a new term for this new class of Steemian.
Shellfish are often among the smallest of sea creatures. I think the idea of shells fits with an account which is waiting to be filled with Steem Power. What do you think?
You missed the Manatee and snapper.

I like the "shellfish" appellation, especially how the word "shell" suggests an outer container which, of course, can be filled with SP. The other possibility I thought of was "krill", for obvious reasons.

It will be new users signed up by Steemit after hard fork 20.

@demotruk, I like the name Shell, it also stand for something that needs to be protected and our new users need to be protected and supported. Only thing I don't like is the picture ;) not very tasty.

shells are precious... but I would not like it... to chose the name maybe we should follow the same pattern of marine beings able to move around and maybe evolve..

bit of a mouthful Paedocypris progenetica smallest fish in the sea " according to google" someone can simplify the name would make sense .

You're already 1/3 of the way there.
It only takes one decent/lucky payout and you may jump up to minnow.

What are vests?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Vests are the internal representation of Steem Power. They convert to Steem at a rate which increases very slightly with each new block.

So what is the conversion like from Steem Power to Steem when you power down?

They are different denominations of the same thing.

it takes time to grow SP if you are new user.

Plankton? At least every account has the potential to grow. Small sea creatures tend to stay small. New users start with very little SP now, but they can do well with good comments now
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Plankton literally never grow beyond microscopic. A shell always has the potential to be filled. Even if it's not a very prestigious name, few active users would remain a shell for long.
