Work done
Witness infrastructure
Our witness nodes are running smooth and we patched them with the v0.20.10 security fix on time and without any hiccup.
We also want to say how grateful we are towards everyone who voted for @steemitboard as a witness. We moved up to rank #73 thanks to your votes. This for sure helps the project to survive and to redistribute fun and part of what we get to all users on the platform. Thank you!
Website complete rewrite
Did you noticed we rewrote @steemitboard’s website? Hopefully you didn’t because it was our goal to make the change as transparent as possible.
Our website use a brand new framework which will allow use to provide you with new features faster than before. The next step is to fully integrate/rewrite SteemitBoard Ranking, which should be done in the coming days.
We created several new personal badges and challenges
Carnival challenge
The badge has been awarded to 42 users who shared their Carnival experience in a post. On top of this, the 5 best entries have been reward with 5 STEEM each.
DrugWars early adopter
The @drugwars team wanted to thank their early adopters and asked us to create a very special badge they can offer to all of them. This lead to a distribution of 12000 badges!
Steemit 3 Years Birthday badge
The Steem blockchain entered its 3rd year of existence and all users having registered their account more than 3 years ago have now received this birthday badge. Up to now, they are 467.
King of Disease 1st April Fool
Our “moving to Ireland🍀 biologist🔬” @suesa wanted you to have fun and decided to create her very own version of the 1st April fool. She contacted us to get our help then started her sneeze party joined by 83 participants who are now "infected" with the scary “Kind of disease” badges. Thanks for this funny event @suesa.
Steem Meetup Aachen badge
As more Steem meetups are popping out around the world, their organizer ask us to create a dedicated badge to offer their participant a nice souvenir. The Steem Meetup Aachen, organized by @detlev, is the second one of a long series.
Interaction with users
