Shitcoins Today: Issue #6

avatar

         There are definitely decent shitcoins on Hive Engine (HE). The term sounds like an oxymoron (because it is). One of my favorites is the STEM token for rewarding posts of the same topics. The token belongs to the @STEMGeeks tribe.

         Unlike many other HE tribes, STEMGeeks listens for posts outside the usual tribe tags. On the frontend, it also shows posts for science, technology, engineering, and math. One would think that should give diversity to content, and it does. Unfortunately, having more tags also meant there would be off-topic posts mixed in.

         I can't remember how many times people would use the technology tag in price discussions. For the most part, the curators would let those slide as long as they didn't obtain too much pending payouts in STEM. There are occasions where they choose to remove the token rewards. That's done with accounts with small HP, but large STEM stake.

         Due to the limitation of the system, downvotes are the only method to remove rewards. Of course, it's not uncommon for people to feel offended by a small downvote. Unless, one goes the route of muting, which is extreme. Muting is usually reserved for unsavory behaviors. This can include plagiarism, mass tag spam, etc.

         STEMGeeks hopes to encourage people to share more casual content related to STEM. They can be videos of you going full Myth Buster. They can be personal experiences in your professional life. They can be you building a new PC or giving product reviews. They can even be contests such as hosting a hackathon like @themarkymark did some time back.

         The goal is to see how people have fun with these topics. To see how they apply them in their lives. To see them in applicable settings versus what you learn in textbooks.

         There's this misconception on the whole chain about STEM content. Many people feel like they have to write scholarly articles or Wikipedia pages. That's not true. If I wanted to read about them en masse, I would have gone to peer reviewed journals I have access to.

         There are other perks associated with the STEM token. If you play @dcitygame, then you can use them to start science conventions in your city. What that means is you get a boost in chances to discover technologies. In addition, you also gain access to scientists for your city.

So, go on and check out the tribe! Go get those shitcoins!

I have a content question for you. I make a progress report twice a month now, (used to be weekly to quick learn myself). I have been looking for other communities to support via posting in them. Example is the various photo communities I post in.

Now my twice a month report does contain statistic type information, however it is only for myself, so it did not really meet the requirements for the Stats community. LeoFinance has no issue with my progress reports since they are partly about account growth.

So I guess my question is since I use spreadsheets and charts to display my information, and since they are somewhat math related, do you think once a month, (my mid month report), would fit in the Stem community? (I have taken to asking first before just posting in a community if I feel it is borderline community related).

I think your progress reports are detailed. Although, I'm not sure if it has statistical analysis in the sense that the stats led you to a conclusion that wasn't apparent.

I personally wouldn't mind seeing that once a month. But, those aren't easy posts to engage with.

It would be interesting to see the engagement on your posts on your reports and then reflect on what worked and what didn't. I think that's more to the spirit of STEM than doing accounting.

Just my two cents. You could ask for @abh12345's input because he's a curator and mod in the community as well.

It's a tricky one isn't it?

I think I asked you/Marky the same question with regards to the Engagement League post. There is a fair amount of script and tech use, but it was decided they didn't quite fit.

@bashadow, I don't think there is any harm in trying, but as in this post, the STEM tag is moderated well (with high STEM and low HP), and so I guess it will depend on the curators at the end of the day - all of which will have a slightly different view.

A post about how you compile those reports is definitely worthy the tag.

I feel being able to interpret the data and draw a conclusion (or a hypothesis) seems to work better than an accounting of what happened.

Like, are there special relationships between those stats that you have drawn over time?

Some of my posts took covid stats from my state's website, but I try to derive meanings from them instead of "here you go, and yeah".

Although, that does make @stemgeeks' reports seem a bit silly to vote on. But that is supposed to be the tribe's announcement account, so it feels like it deserves an exception. It burns the rewards anyways.

@themarkymark, @inertia, and @balticbadger could also drop their opinions on this.

The STEMGeeks post don't really fit in the Tribe but they are there for disclosure to the community. Some meta is unavoidable. My comment to Abh12345 explains my reasoning a little.

Yep, the process being more valuable than the results.

The results can be valuable too if there are extrapolations on them.

One of the analogies I use is putting your math homework on STEMGeeks isn't really appropriate but explaining how you did it would be. Yet the tribe is about math as well, just leaving your homework offers no STEM value.

Yup, fair enough.

As enforcer says, a post on how it's put together would be of more value than the results.

A common one is Bitcoin, it is a technology but making posts about price and trading has no reason to be in a STEM community.

It's called shoe horning.

I want to thank you three for the input,(@enforcer48 @abh12345, @themarkymark), I think I understand a bit more and will try on my mid-month report to formulate it to work with the idea and intent of the community in mind.

I think communities are going to be a vital part of the success of Hive in the future, so when I post I try to post in a community that fits the post, and to spread my postings out to the various communities. Not for the potential increased rewards, but to help keep the community system active and growing.

I saw and still see so many non-fitting post in some communities and the use of tags has pretty much always been a joke on steem and on hive and I do not want to see communities go the way of the tag system. So I do appreciate the input from all three of you.

I am starting to post on STEMGEEKS than STEMSOCIAL cause it seems to fit my content style on open source and linux. Just the right place for casual content.

To see how they apply them in their lives. To see them in applicable settings versus what you learn in
textbooks.
