First, thank you to everyone who replied to my post about whether or not Hive should have a "learn to code" token. The feedback was very helpful.
Soon, I'll make another post about something else I want to do and asking whether or not there's much interest for it on Hive, so please keep an eye out for that and give me your feedback for that also, please.
It seems like there would be enough interest to justify starting the Learn to Code tribe and BYTE token so we're moving forward to having it launch at the end of this month. This will give everyone who wants to enough time to maybe have a few posts ready for Learn to Code on our first day.
If you've ever thought about learning how to program and create something awesome, next month would be a great time to start!
This is what has been done so far:
- Created
account
- Transferred BYTE token ownership from
to
- Created Learn to Code community created/hive-188262
- Transferred 2,000 BEE to
The 2,000 BEE covers the fee to create a rewards pool for BYTE token and BYTE token staking. Between now and March 31st I'll be selling off some of my 
These are the planned tags for BYTE token and some of their possible uses:
#hive-188262 (community tag is required for rewards pool)
#software (programming languages, tools like GitHub Copilot)
#hardware (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc., physical computing)
#learntocode (posts about our new tribe, posts relevant to the tribe's scope but don't fit neatly into the other tag categories)
#dev (Posts about blockchain development, especially Hive)
Obviously, any posts relevant to the Learn to Code tribe will almost certainly be relevant to STEMGeeks' #stemgeeks tag too. Since the Learn to Code tribe won't have an Outpost UI when we launch the tribe, posting to steemgeeks.net and using any of the above listed tags for your relavant posts would be a good idea.
Please feel free to reply to this post with any comments or constructive criticism. I'll be working on the BYTE whitepaper this week and feedback will help me in writing the draft for it.
In the meantime here is a rough draft for a mission statement for the upcoming Learn to Code tribe:
The main goal of the Learn to Code tribe is to empower the vibrant community of Hive blockchain users and to cultivate their skills in programming and blockchain development. Our mission is to foster an inclusive environment where both newcomers and seasoned developers can collaborate, learn, and contribute to projects on the Hive blockchain, other open source projects, and beyond.
