FAQ Flash Cards
Steem and Steemit come with some BIG questions!So we thought it would be fun to create some flash cards! There's a lot to digest when explaining this platform to prospective users. For newcomers and experienced Steemians alike, these FAQ's can be tough to answer in a quick, approachable and easy way. We hear a lot of the same questions every day when it comes to onboarding new users within the @sndbox incubator, hosting workshops and meetups in New York City. After a while (and some trial and error) we've found that it helps to have a quick couple sentences for each answer. Those words and illustrations need to be clear and relatable otherwise your question-asker loses attention or becomes confused. Disruptive technology is tough to describe.
Here are YOUR Top 10 Questions:
Our previous flash card post yielded some amazing questions. Here are the top 10 that we received:
- What is Blockchain?
- What is Cryptocurrency?
- What is the difference between Centralized and Decentralized?
- How is Bitcoin different than Steem?
- What is the role of a Steem witness?
- What is the difference between Steem and Steemit?
- What is the difference between Steem, Steem Power and Steem Dollars?
- Where does the money come from?
- How are rewards distributed within the Steem blockchain?
- WILDCARD! (See below)
Flash Rough Drafts...
We're in the process of drafting good language for each question in a clear, concise way. Here's draft of our core talking points so far.

Fellow Steemians, what's your 10th question? Share your "WILDCARD" in the comments below. We'll be upvoting our favorites and the most creative reactions :)
Over the next couple of weeks we'll be expanding on this family of FAQ's and providing some illustrated infographics to run alongside them. Here's a sneak peak of the first card; "What is Blockchain?"
It's perfect, nice and simple design... A friend has just started on Steemit, Sndbox is the perfect tool to understand this great tool. Thanks
Thanks for the answer... It's appreciated.
If you want them to not use all their power you can technically vote 10 times a day then with each vote 2% is used as of his power and takes 2.4 hours to recoup which means you will be at 100% power again in 24 hours. This is good to keep in mind once your vote is about 1 cent and more since at 1cent you like it if people vote and you can see that it is a full cent (psychological), currently I have the same value of vote at 75% (below 75% I don't vote a full cent) as I do at 100% and for me to keep that 80% power level as a baseline , because I like it, then I get an extra 2 votes out :) and still recover in 24 hours. This I accomplish by using busy.orgs slider to vote at a percentage. and since steemit.com uses your master password as the actual password it is just wise to not really use steemit as your main interface.
A good question @heroldius!
And thanks to @lordjames for the answer, below :D

Why Steem Dollar is abbreviated as SBD ?
While the letter B is not in the word Steem dollar . Answer !!
Thank you for this, i was sooo clueless as what those mean't haha
@sndbox just curious when can I use tag sndbox correctly
My wildcard question, please:
If you bring readers/viewers to your steem posts but those readers/viewers do NOT sign up as steem users, can you still get any steem rewards? IOW, what if someone sends real traffic to their own posts but that traffic doesn't or can't or won't sign up on steem?
In that sense, steem is a closed system?
I think the BIGGEST question for newbies that is challenging to answer is
What should I post?
Great idea! Will you be having them printed?
