I'm coming up on two weeks on Steemit, and it's been quite a learning curve!

Some of my posts, such as 'Ethical Dilemmas and what to do about them' have been way more successful than I thought possible. Others, not so much - and I've yet to exactly discern exactly what makes the good one so much better (other than being upvoted by @curie). It's a work in progress, especially to overcome my ingrained twitter-training to post in short inflammatory bursts.
It's been fun though. For one thing, I came second in a newbies competition run by @deliberator - and have promised to run something similar myself.
More generally, I enjoy puzzling things out. The economics, social dynamics, and ethics of the STEEM blockchain holds plenty of these interlinked enigmas. Using tools such as steemnow, steemreports and steemd has helped me come to grips with the mechanics of the system, as well as highlighting some very interesting behaviour. The people/entities undertaking these actions know who they are - I'm not going to name them and risk getting squished. But they know who they are. And, if they are paying attention, they know that I know.
I don't know if they know that I know that that they know, but can't rule it out (Stop, just stop. This is what I was talking about in my intro post - not as funny as I think I am).
I don't know how all this is going to pan out. But, in the meantime, it's great to have the support of @teamaustralia. I hope that their efforts in helping out Aussies new to Steemit continue - and that in time I can do the same for the next wave of new steemians from down-under.
Anyway, it's a nice day here in Melbourne, and my veggie garden is looking a bit overgrown. If there's a good haul from it today, I might post some pics later. Until then, have a good weekend everyone!
