I think that "steemit" is a pretty decent place to start. so good work so far on that. I don't really think these are particularly good ideas. I just like to stir the pot a bit!

Steam as a root has a lot of great meanings and connotations for community and general quality of life. Steam rises above, moves around, and travels well, and hopefully the price of Steem will do some rising as well. Steaming is a healthy food prep technique. Steam baths are revitalizing and communal. Steam as a source of power was quite revolutionary. Steam as a way to clean sensitive garments. The one connotation i'd avoid would be the type of steam that comes out of one's ears when they are irate. SteamPunk is just the coolest neo-classical victorian era that never existed (Firefly much!?)

• Clams (Steamer Clams. also, Clams were a fiat currency in the Flintstones, which is kind of o.g.)
• Banya - like everyone's just chlling and conversing in a russian steam bath and a shout out to the eastern european blockchain talent
• Steemship - (while primitive in nature, this feels like a steam-powered spacecraft. i think in old times it was meant to describe a steam-powered boat)
• Cleevland (like a Cleveland Steamer, is anyone on this project from Ohio?)
  • Ok note on this one. While i was aware that a "Cleveland Steamer" was a thing, i figured it was a famous type of train from the B&O Railway. I looked it up. it is not. It is quite grotesque (NSFW) and I wouldn't look it up. But in case you thought that maybe you recalled this term from your childhood trip to the railway museum, it has nothing to do with that, I assure you!
• Gabardeen (like a fancy raincoat that can only be steam cleaned. also great Simon & Garfunkel reference to Gabardine in the song America which had strong generational themes of finding ones way in life. In many ways Steem is reinventing the way people of the world can act online)
• eSteem - because everyone should be feeling a good self-esteem contributing to the rise of blockchain tech and the feeling of a healthy crypto portfolio
• Steempunk - while a nod to Steampunk, the word punk may be a barrier for mainstream (or "mainsteem") adoption. (This could also be a term to describe certain community members, no?)
• Steemtrunk - this is too many confounded thoughts in one to explain
