The last 10 days have been hectic for SteemSTEM, with the beta release of its App steemstem.io and the deployment of a witness (@stem.witness) and a Seed Node (159.69.58.17:2001 or seed.steemstem.io:2001).
However, we did not stop there, as many steps remain until our grand goal of building a unique science communication ecosystem on the Steem blockchain is achieved.
The next step in our expansion is to bring research institutes, researchers and well-known science bloggers to communicate research results and information directly on Steem, without the need to utlize any intermediate platform.
In order to position Steem for playing such a significant role for science communication (through the SteemSTEM project), it is crucial that SteemSTEM becomes economically sustainable, allowing us to fund our next steps and continue expansion.
A CALL FOR SUPPORTERS
We are therefore making a call for supporters who would like to get into the SteemSTEM project by delegating a fraction of their shares, and who could hence contribute to render Steem a better home for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
As an incentive, SteemSTEM has begun sharing 65% (on average, when integrated over time) of its weekly curation rewards with all its benefactors, split proportionally to their invested/delegated STEEM. An extra 20% of the curation rewards is also split between the SteemSTEM managers, curators, PR team members and honor members for their work with the remaining 15% staying with @steemstem. The reward distribution and accounting will be transparently displayed and can be followed on @steemstem.pay.
We plan to further expand these benefactor rewards in the future as additional revenue streams become available (through planned expansion/developments via steemstem.io).
Make sure to follow us and watch out for even more updates to come!
