The Steemit Panel at Denver Comic Con!

Amanda (Hive account@amrauthor) moderated our panel and had each of us introduce ourselves. She then directed the hour-long discussion and helped our exchanges with the audience go smoothly!

Vince (Hive account@falseyedols) discussed how he's monetizing his music on Steemit. He explained how Dsound works and shared how he's been successful using it. I touched on how I've serialized poetry and fiction here, and that I'm now producing an ongoing series of venn diagrams showing the overlap of big business and big government.

 
And Jim (Hive account@lpfaust) pretty much covered everything else: the basics of blockchain and cryptocurrency, and how the Steemit platform works in an easy-to-understand nutshell. He was able to translate lots of tech stuff down into digestible bytes of information that really engaged the audience.

Speaking of which, we had a nice group assembled who were very curious about Steemit and had many questions! We tried to give them a breakdown, not only of how posting and payouts work, but how we all use various dapps on the blockchain. We also mentioned using Discord to create communities and to network with other Steemians.

I mentioned my involvement with both the City of Neoxian (hosted by Hive account@neoxian) and the Isle of Write. Regarding the Isle, I talked specifically about how the server is segmented into various channels pertaining to fiction, non-fiction, poetry, screenwriting (there's several) and their associated writing workshops, facilitated through Google docs. This was especially pertinent to Denver Comic Con as the event is held in conjunction with Booktopia, a Denver literary conference. So not only were members of our audience interested in blockchain technology and cryptocurrency... they were also writers!

Jim and Vince will likely recap our panel discussion on their Voices of the Mountains radio show this evening at 3 am UTC on MSP Waves. Hop on PALnet to listen in!
