Part 1 - Thanks and
and This was kind of a cheating goal, but my #10 Steemit round showed up in the mail a week or two ago. Was planning on doing this post earlier but decided to wait and combine this with Part 2 down below. I am so excited I was able to get #10 for this is my favorite number. Hoping this locks in the #10 coin for the 2018 rounds and beyond, but that's up to 
If you haven't checked out yet I suggest you go and have a look. I'm really enjoying the daily updates they provide and the thought of buying something new with Steem. Other than some initial troubles of getting my address to due to some issues with steemit.chat, the entire process was relatively painless and would recommend.

Some things I would like to see implemented into somehow is user ratings. If they sold something and the buyer verifies receiving the item allow the sellers to show successful sales somehow. The other option is to set-up intermediaries that will hold the funds until the item is verified received. While neither is perfect,
I think this will help prevent scams in the future.

This one was a complete suprise. Shortly after posting my 2018 stacking goals I received a message from asking for my mailing address. I don't normally just give out my address randomly, but seeing as how he is a stacker in the #steemsilvergold community my interest was peaked.

Needless to say a few messages back and forth on discord I found out a package for me should be arriving Saturday (a few days ago). Saturday morning came and I went out and saw the package that was awaiting for me. I opened it up and this note was the first thing I saw.
Another one of my 2018 stacking goals is crossed off the list! While I could say I'm 5 ozs to my 12 oz goal for 2018 I think I'm going to pay it forward to someone I've been following for a while with a 2017 Steem Silver Round. I don't think this person has the Steem Silver Round yet and hope they'll be pretty excited about getting one.
Thanks #steemsilvergold for being such an awesome community and helping out a newbie such as myself! I was worried this was going to be the hardest for me to obtain, because I'm really hoping to buy all my silver this year using only Steem!
