Sndcastle Spotlight on @myach
Last week, we interviewed @bitrocker2020 about his @myach project. Here's an excerpt from our interview with him, below:
@myach is an initiative to empower new and struggling Steemians from Malaysia to find identity and direction within Steemit. As a new Steemian the hardest challenge is to get their posts recognized by others. With @myach, we will be organizing a series of workshops mostly offline to ignite the passion of sharing / blogging.
These workshops would be conducted on weekends where every week it would be themed to different category of specialization such as photography, writing, vlogging and so on. For these in-person workshops, we invite other Steemians / experienced individuals in those fields to share their experiences.
The Malaysian Steem Accelerator Hub mission is to accelerate the growth of Steemians in Malaysia to nurture great quality content from the community.
NYC Meetup
Last night we had our second seasonal Happy Hour event with our The Creative Blockchain NYC Meetup group in the Lower East Side. Another fun event with great people and lots of enthusiasm for Steemit so we’ll be sure to introduce motivated New Yorkers in future posts. Here are some snaps from the evening -
November’s Thumbnail Competition
Earlier today we launched our 3rd open Steemit competition for anyone to submit their ideas for our State of the Sndbox Newsletter cover. We’ve got lots of upvote prizes and the winning entry will be featured throughout November each week.
What to Look Out For This Week
For tomorrow, we’ll do a new toolkit resource and Sndbox spotlight. On Friday, we’ll have some surprises and updates regarding our team going to and presenting at STEEMFEST!

Cool to see all these things happening... tentatively looking into creating some kind of Northwestern art/creative Steemit Meetup in this part of the world. Time will tell... been rather busy fielding "problems" the last couple of weeks, but maybe in the new year!
The New York meet up looks active, very cool!
