What's up with that #SteemClan and Satoshi’s Treasure Hunt stuff on Twitter?
Yesterday morning, hubby & I were drinking our coffees whilst staring at our respective computer screens, when I noticed a tweet from @nathanmars, asking some of the #seven77 community if we'd joined Satoshi’s Treasure Hunt.

Now two days before, I'd liked & retweeted a #steem tweet that featured @enginewitty waving his hand in a very "secret club house sign" kind of way, while someone on his phone did the same. A short time later @wholeself-in then replied to me and a couple others, asking if we wanted to jump on the Steem chain. I told her I'd check it out and get back to her, and two seconds later it promptly fell out of my brain.
So yesterday I decided that before it fell out again, I take a peek and see what was up. First thing I found was the post, We Created a New BlockChain – Wanna Join? by @paulag, which explained, in part...
@steemclan, working towards bringing home treasure of $1m Bitcoin to Steem, have created a chain on twitter in reply to this call from the treasure hunt organisers
A short time later, I found myself in their Discord server and before I knew it, I was a part of the chain!

Seriously, this is so easy that it took me less than an hour, start to finish - and for anyone else, would probably take about ten to fifteen minutes! Here's essentially how it went - after joining the server & talking to awesomely helpful admins, I got the block number I needed to use in my tweet, and the link to the previous tweet/block.
Then since it was such a beautiful morning, I asked hubby to follow me out in the yard to get my quick Steem sign wave filmed with my camera & tripod. I thought my Essential Tremor was quiet enough for me to hold my phone with @jadams2k18's playing on it for the two seconds it would take, but alas! My body wasn't being cooperative, so hubby came up with the brilliant idea to hold my left elbow, which steadied my arm enough to get it done.
Next, I had the brilliant idea to convert my video into a gif, which would solve the audio & frame cropping issues I wouldn't have had if I'd just done it on my phone like a normal person everyone else seems to have done. It only took a few minutes on my favorite Video to GIF converter to get it set, and after double-checking in Discord that I was good to go, away I tweeted!
The things I do for the ❤️ of #Steem... 🤣

Here I am, still in PJs w/hubby holding my arm steady off camera (cause of my #EssentialTremor) joining the human #blockchain! Hope to see more #seven77 peeps join in!#satoshistreasure #clanchain #steemclan #28https://t.co/oWsi7ZzN1P pic.twitter.com/c2VDXWWeq0
After realizing how simple it was to do (and after hearing one of the rival teams actually went into a nursing home to get a bunch of grannies to do their wave), I decided I had to do something to help get the word out. I tagged a bunch of people like @theycallmedan and @jaynie in a tweet much like @nathanmars's tagged me, and I'm hoping word will spread before the June 15th deadline.
Oh, and there's lots of excellent (and much simpler than my "short story long" ramble) information in the post, "All Hands On Deck! by @wholeself-in/LauraDee, and I highly recommend checking it out.

What a brilliant idea, to steady your elbow! You and your husband certainly make a good team together! Fantastic! 😃
Thanks, @thekittygirl! He really does help me keep my balance (in more ways that one) and he says I do the same for him. And to think there were people in 1987 who said, "Yeah, I give their relationship a month, tops..." 😂
You make it sound so easy!
It really is, @mariannewest! I think the longest part is waiting to make sure you're verified (like, checking your Steem & Twitter accounts to make sure you're a real person - mine took about two seconds...LOL), and waiting for your block number assignment.
The actual filming is easy, especially if you have two phones available - one to play the previous video, and one to film yourself.
And I know you're going in a million directions at once, you super Steem woman you, so please don't feel bad if you don't get a chance to do this. Like I said on Twitter, get some rest - you've more than earned it! 🤗
Dear @traciyork,
I will certainly check these out and, thank you for the info. I had been so busy with my physical life right now that I did not have the chance to check up steemit related things as much as I wanted to.
Thanks for the info!
Thanks in return for dropping by, @nurseanne84! 😊
So many fun and potential things to do because of the steem blockchain. This is one of the reasons I like it so much. The stronger and more diverse the inclusive community is, the more it propagates itself into stronger community and neat stuff like this.
I like to remain an anonymous rock star and am not much for the kyc aspect but will check into how I can participate.

Completely agree, @zekepickleman!
I obviously can't speak to how the Steem Clan admins are running this, but my KYC was pretty painless - just the links to my Steem & Twitter accounts, so they could see I was a real person. Plus, you know, my actual mug in the video.... blergh... and I hear ya. For years, I've been telling people Salinger (the super reclusive NH writer) is my spirit animal... 😜

And I was human block #30. So come on guys, let's help out and win over those cheating "granny users". We can't let them win out over Steemians, who do things the RIGHT way.

Sounds interesting.
