Welcoming Contest Round #2 - The Missing Links[$50 in Prizes]
A Contest for Everything Related to Welcoming New Users to the Steem Platform.
In Round #1 we asked users to submit the best how-to guides for new users. Today, we want to know which guides are hard to find or haven't been fully written, yet.
What subjects are hard to find information on via Google or asksteem.com?
What areas are not well represented in the Round #1 contest submissions?
Please submit your answers in the comments section!
For this round of the contest, only entries in English will be counted. There will be other rounds for guides in other languages
Thank you for participating. It takes a strong community to onboard "The Millions".
Two Ways to Win Prizes!
.500 Steem for each valid submision of either a guide that needs to be written, or an area which is not covered well, in general. We are not looking for a long paragraph.. Simply list the topics which need more attention, better documentation, and more clarity for the average user.
Win 1 Steem if you find a guide for the user looking for information on a subject that's not missing, they just didn't know where it was!
To be clear, you are either asking for information that you've had a hard time finding, or answering those users here in the comments section.
Currently I have 50 Steem Allocated for this round of the contest. Whatever prize fund is left over after awarding Round 1 will roll over onto this contest, in case there is a ton of helpful people in here!
Let's take a moment to thank our Sponsors, and Witnesses!!!!!

Hello @inquiringtimes, how are you? I hope you are pretty well right now. I am happy finding your current post on missing links.
For me the topic I want to read are:
How do we know the 25% rewards of our post shared to the curators of our post?
How to include our own videos without uploading them into DTube or Youtube?
What is the different between Country Curator and Steemian?
Why does the tag of NSFW must be hidden from the setting?
What is SMTs and how does it work?
Thanks for you and our Sponsor; @ReggaeMuffin

Thank you for sharing the link on SMTs...regards from Indonesia.
Thanks for your help @ilyastarar. Regards
Great list of questions! I think I can answer a few that either were not answered or I don't think answered fully.
1 . If you go to any post that has paid out, in the address bar at the top, change "steemit" to "steemd" and it will take you to the steemd.com for that post. Just to the right of the post title on that page will be a button you can push that says "Advanced Mode" and it should be highlighted in blue. If you click that, it will give you various details of the post, including how much the post paid out, how much was paid to the author and how much was paid to curators. As well as many other interesting things like who upvoted what comments, who resteemed the post, and a few other cool things like that.
2 . To my knowledge there is currently no way to upload a video to Steemit without using Dtube or Youtube. I think those are the only options currently available.
4 . The tag "NSFW" Stands for "Not Safe For Work", and is hidden from view (unless you click it or change the option in your user settings) in case people are scrolling Steemit in a public place, like a library computer or an internet cafe or some such and don't want to offend those around them, or some people just don't want to see that kind of stuff at all.
I hope these answers help. I am unsure of the answers for questions 3 and 5.
Thank you very much for your answer my friend. I read them all because they are useful for me.
I am very proud to be the nation of Indonesia, may you the best.
I am like you and orther steemians as well. We will be rich because of steemit. Keep fighting my friend. Thanks a lot.
Good luck brother @bahagia-arbi
Thanks my friend.
Everything is an interesting topic @bahagia-arbi. However, specifically for number 4, I think it's very clear that adult content should be tagged NSFW.
You are correct Bang @ayijufridar. Thanks for your vote and comment.
You welcome @bahagia-arbi
Do I need to list the things on a post or enlist them here on comments?
Right here in the comments is fine :)
Here are some of the things I have been willing to know about Steemit but haven't found reliable answers yet. These are simple yet may be the questions that may arise in most of the newbies on Steemit.
Let me see if I can answer some of your questions!

Some topics for which I couldn't find any blogs:

https://steemit.com/steemit/@mohsan0073/what-is-bandwidth
@hornblende
Thanks @hornblende :)
You are welcome... Hope the post is detailed enough.
That are great topics! They need detailed and technical information.
In beginning I won't able to find proper details about
-> Vests
Yeah, good question. Here is a plain English description. https://steemit.com/steem-help/@hisnameisolllie/what-are-vests
How to use bots and how many ways to cash out besides Bitcoin ?
Which bots do you want to know how to use?
Cashing out may be accomplished by sending your STEEM or SBD to supported exchanges such as Bittrex, however, you may use blocktrades.us to easily convert STEEM and SBD to several other coins!
I want to use minnowhelper, qurator, but there is no proper way to learn using them, I am a noob, I admit that.
No problem. That's why we're here! We'll get your questions sorted out.
I'm not personally familiar with minnowhelper, however when you go to their profile on Steemit, you can read the description in the header. It says to refer to the blog for instructions. There's a link to their blog in the header as well. I followed the link and in a few clicks, I arrived at the terms and conditions for their service, which includes instructions!
As for Qurator, I'm a member over there, so I'm pretty familiar with how it works. First, you'll need to visit their profile on Steemit, and in each of their Daily Qurator posts, there are instructions on how to join and how the voting tiers work. You can also join their Discord server (link in the Daily Qurator) and talk to the people there to find out more information.
Most of the time you can find posts that detail how to use the services on Steemit. It just takes a bit of digging!
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank you so much for your help ! I read the basic tier for qurator, and I am willing to pay 2 steem for lifetime membership, but I don't know what to write in a memo, can you help me out ?
Sure! Just check the wallet transfers for the account, and you'll see what other Steemians have done to register. It looks like you just put your username in the memo, they review your account, and then let you know if you're approved!
Got it, I will have to request them to verify my account, if they think my work is quality work, then they will approve me as a member.
I think a simple tutorial on the Interface might be useful.
STEEMIT is trying to attract the general public. Therefore we could do with some visual cues on features of the Interface. Believe it or not I couldn't find how to reply the first time I wanted to comment. Maybe I was distracted by the $$$$
Also, when posting the default is markup language, and it takes time to figure out how to get into the WYSIWYG editor instead. Fortunately, I'm a nerd, but also found this a little confusing.
It's just these small things that'll improve the End User Experience.
'Start Here' or a Tutorial option is pretty standard on most interfaces these days.
BTW: Great Initiative!
I got one for you.... How the average steemian can contribute by setting up a seed node.... Can't really find out exact specs needed...
