RE: One Week on Steemit: What I've Learned So Far
Hi @laurawhite, I love your enthusiasm and also contribution to the community with your post. It's great when we learn and grow together by sharing knowledge and ideas.
Here's one difference between Dtube and Dlive: https://steemit.com/steemit/@fabiyamada/is-it-posting-free-analyzing-the-steem-platforms
And if you are looking for contests then look no further than @artz's Steemit Contest Compilation, or @moneyinfant's writing contest list (including my chiasmus contest!).
I think it is great that you are reading the white and blue papers! I don't think too many of us go through it in enough details, and I know many people would appreciate someone being able to post a 'plain English' version so they can understand it better too :)
Some other interesting possible areas in Steemit include the pixel.flower collectible by @aoart and @roscoeh
Have fun with your goals this week!
Hi @plushzilla! Thanks for the contest tips and the link to the article on Dtube and Dlive. Thanks to you, I'm able to knock that one off my list today :) I really appreciate it.
Posts in which the whitepapers are broken down is a great idea. I enjoy reading all that stuff, but I recognize that not everyone does. Invariably, I'll learn it better, too, if I attempt to teach it.
And I couldn't agree with you more -- it's great when we can all learn together. That's one of the things that makes being part of a community special. Thanks for your comment, and I look forward to your upcoming posts :)
There are lots of ICOs out there at the moment and I think going through the whitepapers gives you a good sense of whether there is an intrinsic value in the idea behind the coin or token, so I know that a few people would like to get some explanation for the SMT whitepaper and see how Steem will be able to grow when it is released.
I have been trying to maintain a list of people on Steemit that are happy to teach and share their knowledge on different topics that you might be interested:

Maintaining a list is a great idea! Thanks -- I'm checking it out now.
