Steem: Account Claims Analysis by Hive account@abh12345 [analysis]

During the most recent Steem Hardfork, HF20, the Steem blockchain added a feature to help quickly register new users to the ecosystem. This is done by burning Resource Credits (RCs) to create discounted accounts which are later claimed by a user. Hive account@abh12345 is one of the finest analysts we have on Utopian and has provided a very detailed and illustrative analysis of account claims on Steem. He went further to provide the statistics of dapps and communities creating discounted accounts, and how they distribute these accounts to new users. This post is a must read.

Seeking Open-Source Projects [@utopian-io contest 1] by Hive account@sndbox [blog]

One factor in evaluating Blog category posts that is getting depreciated as we go on is post length. And we can find no better example than this post by our friends at Hive account@sndbox. Not only is it well crafted and presented, their post has tremendous potential impact as they lend their significant VP to supporting Utopian projects and promote open source to their many followers. This is open source activism on the blockchain done excellently well.
