<h2>Goodbye Upvote Promotion Services</h2>

In the same breath, **we've retired our promotion services**, which means we've completely switched to the #NewSteem mode!

We've completely rewritten everything from scratch with a focus on making it as sexy and smooth to use as possible, mixed in some magic sauce and launched the first minimal viable version for open beta. This includes our first initial 3 Steem apps. 

We'll go more in detail about each of them very soon, but here's a quick overview:

<h2>Smartsteem: Earn</h2>

Our vision is to implement multiple ways to earn SmartPoints, our own system to make the most out of smartsteem.

<h2>Smartsteem: Streem</h2>

Would you like to bring your curation experience to the next level? Don't worry, we've got you covered with **Streem**!

And do you know the best thing? You're able to decide whether you'd like to automate it or confirm everything manually. *Woah!*

<h2>Smartsteem: Jarvis</h2>

We're starting simple with our robot: *claiming of rewards*. But don't look away too long, he's a fast learner!

<h2>Open Beta Info</h2>

We're starting this beta out with some requirements.

In order for you to use the apps (except Earn), **you need to have at least 500 effective Steempower (incl delegated Steempower) or 25 SmartPoints**.

This is most likely subject to change, in both directions

<h2>Feedback</h2>

Last but not least, we're always open for constructive feedback. Especially if it's about possible problems or bugs.

For that, we've got a designated channel on our discord server: https://discord.gg/6vgG45w

With this said: we're excited for the future! We hope you're as well!

Steem on!
