It has been 2 days since the Mangosteem project was announced...
And the feedback from the community has been outstanding.
Thanks to you all for expressing such interest in the project.
Perhaps the most common question that I have been asked is...
"How can I get #MyOwnDamnChannel on Mangosteem?"
Let's fix that by adding a few new channels!
Disclaimer: Beginning next week I will be revamping the code base. As part of this process I will revisit the underlying channel design and it may be altered such that ALL channels are hosted under the 
Here is the current process for adding new channels...
Step 1
Obtain yourself a fresh Steem account that has not been used to comment elsewhere on the network. Steem accounts are available for 10 Steem through Anon Steem.
Under the current design it is important that you do not make additional comments otherwise the chat archive may be corrupted with messages not pertaining to the conversation. A clean account is best.
Step 2
Make a single blog post with the title:
"Mangosteem Message Archive"
And the tag:
The body content of this post is not important, but you may wish to add something about the purpose of the post. See the #General Channel for example.
Step 3
Edit the host account's public profile settings to name the channel, add a description, and add an avatar if you wish.
The Display Name setting for the account is the name of the channel
The About setting is the channel description
And the avatar... well it's the avatar :)
IMPORTANT: You must add a channel name by updating the Display Name setting otherwise your channel will be filtered out of the channel list.
Step 4
Well this one is on me. I need to manually add each host account to the site. For the time being we will do this with the comments on this post.
I will add a comment below that says, "MANGOSTEEM CHANNELS". After following the aforementioned process reply to this comment with:
I will begin creating new channels as soon as tomorrow evening. Highly upvoted channel comments will receive priority.
