Announced STEMGeeks, a new Steem Engine Tribe!

STEMGeeks is a Steem community focused on STEM content.

What is STEMGeeks?

STEMGeeks is a community focused on STEM topics rewarding engagement with STEM tokens. STEMGeeks is powered by the Steem blockchain with it's own distribution model for STEM tokens in addition to the potential STEEM tokens.

https://stemgeeks.net

What is a Tribe?

@aggroed's post is probably the best place to learn what a tribe is.

A tribe is a Steem community around a SMT-like token with it's own distribution model. Think of it as if SMT & Communities were available today.

What is STEM?

STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and includes a wide range of science and technology topics.

When should I use the #STEM tag?

Primarily for posts that focus on science, facts, and reason backed by data or solid hypotheses about the world around us. At its core, this is a community to facilitate the means of developing skills that explore scientific decisions, critical thinking about evidence and facts.

Science
Space Exploration
Gadgets
Technology Innovations
Blockchain Technology
Programming & Development
Mathematics
Artificial Intelligence
Machine Learning
Maker (i.e. Raspberry Pi & Arduino)
3D Printing
Mobile Phone Technology
Medical Advances
Robotics

The main idea of STEMGeeks is to provide technology & science-focused community with a niche wide enough you could live here but not wide enough to see $100 cat photos.

STEM Airdrop

The token is STEM listed on the Steem Engine market.

We are airdropping around 500,000 STEM tokens to the Steem community. There were a few decisions on how to do the airdrop but it primarily comes down to staked PAL tokens and SteemSTEM members as most clever ideas yielded poor results.

330,625 tokens will be airdropped, this will reach 1,710 users.

We will do an additional airdrop to STEEMSTEM team members, curators, and recent curated content. This accounts for 15,500 additional STEM tokens.

The remaining 153,874 airdrop STEM tokens will be airdropped on a case by case basis.

Initial Supply

The initial supply of STEM will be 10M tokens.

Air Drop: 500,000 STEM
Anti-Abuse: 1,000,000 STEM
STEM Team: 2,000,000 STEM
Community Bounties: 4,000,000 STEM
Sell Wall: 2,500,000 STEM

Initially, we are airdropping up to 500 STEM tokens to most users with at least 10 Pal tokens staked. We are reserving the rest of the initial 500,000 STEM to handle one-off cases and individual airdrops up to the 500 STEM limit.

1,000,000 STEM has been issued to the account @nostem4u for abuse prevention. This was immediately powered up and will never be sold on the market or OTC. If for any reason this stake is no longer needed, it will be burned.

The STEM team has a pool of 2,000,000 STEM tokens. Some of this will be staked and used for curation on the @stemcuration account.

STEM token will be issued to @stembounties account and used for contest rewards, engagement incentives, and prizes. There will be many opportunities to earn STEM tokens through contests and engagement. The initial bounty supply will be used over the first five years or more.

We will add a 2,500,000 STEM sell wall at 2 Steem.

There are no plans to manually issue any STEM tokens outside of the 10,000,000 initial supply.

All other STEM tokens will be created from two inflation pools.

Proof of Brain: 80%
Mining: 20%

The calculated inflation rate is initially 8.41% which will be around 840,690 STEM tokens in the first year and dropping 3% each year until it hits around 2%.

In the first year around 672,000 STEM tokens (80%) will be rewarded from the reward pool for authors and curators. Around 168,000 STEM tokens (20%) will be rewarded to users who have staked STEMM miner tokens.

Creating content for the STEMGeeks community.

You can use our front end interface to post to the STEMGeeks community or you can use any interface you like and use the STEM tag.

Any content using the STEM tag has the potential to earn STEM token rewards.

Full Steempeak integration will be available shortly. Follow @stemgeeks for updates.

Staking/Unstaking

Like Steem, you need to stake your STEM tokens to influence the reward pool distribution and earn curation rewards.

Unstaking takes 30 days over 5 transactions.

Some bounty rewards will be only available to users with STEM tokens staked.

Abuse

We will respond to abuse swift and firmly. We have powered up a nuclear option on the account @nostem4u with 1,000,000 STEM. This account will never upvote and will only be used in extreme cases.

@nostem4u will be used to remove STEM rewards from content that is improperly tags, plagarism, and personal harassment that gets to the point it is impacting the community. We have a zero tolerance for these activities and our response will be firm and swift.

We have no plans on using this account outside of these situations and ideally the account will remain idle 99.99% of the time.

If for whatever reason this account is powered down and the stake will not be used in an anti-abuse scenario, we will burn the stake.

It will never be sold on or off the market and is only used for preventing abuse.

Mining

The STEMGeeks community has a mining pool that will account for 20% of the inflation. STEM Miner tokens STEMM are available on the Steem-Engine market that represents virtual miners.

There are 20 mining slots per hour. Every staked miner has an equal opportunity to win the tokens in that slot. For the first year mining rewards will be 19.2 STEM per hour.

STEM Miners will be sold for 10 Steem and will increase regularly during the first 30 days and settle at 30 Steem.

Like the STEM token, STEM Miners take 30 days to unstake over 5 transactions.

You need to stake your STEMM tokens to be eligible for mining rewards.

Reward Pool

The reward pool will mint around 840,000 STEM tokens in the first year. Rewards will be distributed 50% to authors and 50% to curators with a slightly superlinear curve.

Payouts will be similar to Steem and will happen after 7 days.

Users have the ability to use one full 100% downvote daily without impacting their ability to upvote content.

This post should probably be updated replacing every "steem" with "Hive".😀
@freddio(60)· 2594d
sounds really cool.
@milaan(70)· 2595d
I have some PAL staked(>10 PAL Power) but I did not receive any airdrop?

Going to check that this week and already staked my tokens this morning.

This is so cool. I work in the tech industry and have been looking forward to improved STEM content on Steem.

Ouch there's a lot of things going on now. It's not just Steem we're talking abt, now there's all sorts of tokens. 😅 Busy people can't keep up. 😅

@suesa(73)· 2597d
What counts as steemSTEM team members? Do you include the honor members? They're actively helping the community but are neither curators, nor are they posting a lot.
@doitvoluntarily(80)· 2598d
so it is stem now instead of steemstem when using? or both?
@mermaidvampire(73)· 2598d
Awesome, let a hundred flowers bloom. Thanks for the tokens, it was a surpise. I staked them and will check you out so often. STEM should be at the heart of movements like social media so people aren't so ignorant. All the best with your project.
@manniman(69)· 2598d
And on top, you make StemStem Token and then maybe StemStemStem? This is getting dangerous, it's like hedging. If you create a Tribe, you might wanna have a unique Story or topic.
@isdev(60)· 2598d
Interesting quest! What makes StemGeeks the technology & science-focused community it claims to be? What's different about it? Sounds like an awesome idea : )
@emergehealthier(66)· 2598d
Thank you for the STEM token!
@jonsnow1983(76)· 2598d
I wish you good fortune in the wars to come champ! Good to have another tribe!
@demokratos(60)· 2598d
I like this tribe, but I have a question. I write many texts on philosophy and social sciences. Can I use the tag?
@chireerocks(75)· 2598d
@stemgeeks, Congratulations team and good wishes from my side towards your Tokenised Journey.

And definitely STEEMSTEM is established community on the Steem Blockchain and without any doubt this community have lot of potential to grow. And happy to get STEM TOKENS.

This is amazing! Another Tribe... a science tribe! Wonders never cease!
@apsu(69)· 2598d
This could be interesting. We already have Steemstem but hopefully this only builds up the STEM community and is not seen only as a competitor.
@shortsegments(78)· 2598d
Science and Technology sounds very interesting @stemgeeks!

Good luck with your launch and thanks so much for the airdrop of tokens!

I will stake them!

I will contribute posts to this new STEMGeeks Community!👍

Upvoted and ReSteemed!

Greetings @stemgeeks,

Thank you very much for the STEM tokens.

I do have a query for you.....is there a reason the number of tokens was 223, instead of the 500 listed above as I do have more than 10 Palnet tokens staked?

Thank you for your time.

All the best to your enterprise @themarkymark!

Cheers!
@lauch3d(66)· 2598d
I think the idea is great but we already have a Stem community, if this is no cooperation...then how far will there be cooperation? Let's be clear a tag does not make an article scientific or good researched. Communities like steemStem need authors. So will it be possible to use both tags and how will this affect the curation? (@lemouth, @stemgeeks)

If your really scientific you should both know that community splits harm a network. If you end up with two small subnetworks you have possibly quartered the value of the current STEM community on Steem. We are at a vulnerable state where we need union more than ever. Tribes are great if you are a hundred million MAU network, Steemit so far has about 3000 daily active users and 17k MAU, let's keep them a community.
@karamyog(72)· 2598d
Are hunts on steemhunt related to stem products included?

Very excited about what MarkyMark has put together here. These topics are huge.
@cryptopassion(79)· 2598d
Is trading technical analysis corresponding of your criteria to be part of content on this tribe?
@karenmckersie(74)· 2598d
Ooooh , Science and Technology sounds pretty interesting indeed @themarkymark , @stemgeeks ! Best of luck with your launch and thanks so much for the airdrop of 188.32 which I have all ready Staked on Steem-Engine along with my Other 6 or 7 ScotBot Tribes that I am active on!! Looking forward to contributing in some way on this new STEMGeeks Community! 🚀😎👍 #palnet #steemleo UPPED AND RESTEEMED
@bwar(67)· 2598d
I bought a few miners (5 I think), if my math is even close to right, they seem wildly unprofitable. I hope I'm bad at math but if I'm bad at math I might already be a bad fit for this community.
@gadrian(76)· 2598d
As I understand, this is not related to SteemSTEM?
@hatoto(70)· 2598d
Thank you very much for the freemoney!
@donekim(77)· 2598d
Would you consider who have delegated PAL token to other account? I think you have missed to take a snapshot of PAL token delegators. ;)
@ikrahch(73)· 2598d
Hi @steemgeeks, good to know about your tribe. I would love to contribute to this tribe as well. Please, I have a query..

I have 1298 staked tokens but it is delegated to my alt. It doesn't mean every new tribe missing me for the airdrop.

Please consider my airdrop if possible.
@chieppa1(67)· 2598d
I'm definitely too dumb to post to Stemgeeks, but it sounds promising. Definitely something I'll hold on to as a PAL stack holder.
@franz54(76)· 2598d
Hi good, I didn't get any STEMs when I had a little over 200 PALs in Stake.
@shaidon(71)· 2598d
Thank you for the STEM tokens, and also for promoting STEM and science here on the block-chain. I thought for a moment that I was going to be stuck having to endure eye-watering and brain melting pseudoscience and conspiracy theories that permeate the block-chain.

Not a moment too soon. :D

This project looks like it's going to take Steem to the moon, with a rocket!
@martie7(62)· 2598d
I want to be geek! Very interesting community.
@felander(73)· 2598d
so you basically gave yourself 2 mil tokens? And why are you talking about "us" and "we" if there is not one else on the "team" (a team is also usually more then 1 person...)

There are good plans and the subject is also popular but its indeed confusing since the @steemstem was already there. Any comments on what will be done with the Steem that is gained by selling the tokens? Is this just for you or will it also be used to fund onboarding, curation, community and so on?

Lol really "STEM" tokens ? You couldn't find anything closer to STEEM to make it more confusing ?
