Who We Are
We are a small group of blockchain enthusiasts who, after arriving and getting situated at Steemit, started thinking to ourselves 'what can we do to make this platform better?'
The answer didn't come instantly. We joined the 'steemitsilvergold' community and the 'veterans' community, being both precious metals collectors and military veterans. We also strive to bring you intermittent survivalism and cryptocurrency project review posts. You can read our original introduction post from when we first joined the platform if you're interested.
Myself, the writer of many of these posts and the voice of the account is known to many of you as 'Patriot' on Steemit.chat. You can typically catch me in the price and steemitabuse channels although I frequent others.
Recent Projects
We have recently started to tackle the issue of the abuse of the 'introduceyourself' tag. The ultimate goal of Steemit is to grow and expand with the addition of new users and thus their content, initiatives and projects. Often, the first post that a new user makes and the first tags they click on is the 'introduceyourself' tag. When they see that tag spammed with irrelevant crap, particularly when it swallows up their own first post they've worked hard on, they get discouraged.
Here is our latest update on this project, published today. We have had excellent success so far and hope that recidivism will eventually voluntarily cease and the 'introduceyourself' tag will be for its intended use. This is a non-biased project and all accounts listed in the weekly pull are treated equally and objectively, irrespective of their posting history.
We are working on additional projects in collaboration with other dedicated users like
