This Week in the Sndbox

---

Welcome to the 10th State of the Sndbox newsletter! So far this week, we’ve published the result of our October State of the Sndbox Thumbnail competition. We’ll be using Hive account@fuzztone’s awesome image for all of our October newsletters.

For a more thorough breakdown of what our members have been up to, be sure to go through our weekly Upvotes of the Week post that we publish each Monday.

Worldwide Growth

---

Since the launch of Sndbox, we’ve been receiving requests to translate resource and community-oriented posts for other language communities. One of our members Hive account@monomyth systematized translation for the Turkish community on their community page Hive account@tach. Many posts have been translated to several languages at various times. With our recent post, we wanted to officially open the option up for the global Steemit community to use our resources in their languages.

If you want to translate the embedded images as well into your local language, please reach out to us in the comments and Steemit.chat (Hive account@voronoi / Hive account@hansikhouse). We will compile the language variations in a future post.

Launch of the Sndbox.co Website

---

Last week we officially launched the Sndbox.co website to the Steemit community and the world! One of the biggest challenges that we’re trying to take on is connecting real-world opportunity and impact with the potential and force of the Steemit. As we strive to accomplish this, the Hive account@sndbox website will serve as a comprehensive resource and landing page for those interested in blockchain, cryptocurrency, Steemit, Sndbox members and their projects. Through these things, we aim to create a powerful showcase, illustrating the big picture of what this community can achieve.

The website will be the nexus of blockchain-related resources and Sndbox member activities. You can read up about our announcement and our walkthrough post.

Each week we’ll introduce the newest Hive account@sndbox members and share updates on their work. Be sure to give each of these new Steemians a warm welcome! Follow their profiles for more on their respective interests and practices.
