STEEM At A Glance - First Draft
If you have 2 1/2 seconds to convince someone to spend the time it takes to learn about STEEM and steemit, how do you do it? How can you get them to see how the platform meets their needs and desires in that short window of time before their eyes glaze over? I spent my train ride today making a concept slide that may, hopefully, be useful for Internet sharing and getting peoples' attention.
I don't do fancy graphical layouts, especially on the train, but it's a start. What do you think? Anyone artistic want to dress it up?
Here comes my station. Sorry for any typos.

Hi, @remlaps, a post like this makes me glad to be following you!
I can look at this and it organizes my overall comprehension of Steemit. Thanks! ;)
Thanks. I am glad that it was useful for you.
This is a brilliant post and thanks for sharing. Upvoted and shared on Twitter✔ for my followers to see and understand the simple mechanics of how STEEMIT functions. Now following and looking forward to reading more of your blogs. Cheers. Stephen

Thanks. I'm glad you liked it. I think it's important for the community to make it as simple as possible for new participants to start getting a handle on things.
Nice illustration, is there any plugin available to mine the block-chain ?
Here are binaries for windows, from @alphabeta but that's going to stop working at some point soon. I saw a comment from @dantheman that a future update will no longer work with windows. Here are instructions for Windows and Linux. Not sure if they're totally current, but should get you started.
One word of caution. If you try to mine on multiple machines, it's very important that you do not configure the witness(es) on more than one. Set miners on all machines, but witnesses on just one. (this will make sense after you work through the directions. More here.)
If you want a far easier way to use your cpu to collect steem power, you can follow this guide from @cryptos. With that strategy, you mine altcoins, get paid in bitcoins, then convert the bitcoins to steem power. Unlike native steem mining, the set-up is very simple.
