## Utopian.io & SteemSTEM Meetup Fundition

As announced last week, we are planning to have the first ever Utopian.io meetup in Italy. In collaboration with [SteemSTEM](https://steemit.com/@steemstem), we will be visiting the Virgo Labs, having an exclusive mini-hackathon and more.

If you would like to join our group visit to Virgo Labs be sure to hurry and secure your spot by contacting @suesa on SteemSTEM Discord.

Bringing dozens of people from all over the world to one place is no easy (or cheap) task. To help our team members flying in from Asia, Africa and Latin America, fund their trip, and to create awesome content for you from our adventure, we’ve launched a [Fundition.io](https://fundition.io/#!/@steemstem/ffdnxgdga) campaign.

As the campaign progresses, we’ll be publishing updates and sneak-peeks at the events planned on this five-day science and tech extravaganza of Steemians in Italy.

## Welcoming New Very Important Project Owners (VIPOs)

Our exclusive club of FOSS projects, enabling the access to free professional services and a unique support system to Open Source projects of all sizes, continues to attract additional projects and initiative looking to empower their project through Utopian.io. This week, we’d like to highlight two newcomers to the club: Byteball and Steemer.

### Byteball

<center><img src="https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNMjefrbsqkm5LTcosi3UkusLoWFcbvSJ3hd23Q9qymWV/byteball-logo-version-X1.png" alt="byteball"></center>

Byteball is an open source block-free cryptocurrency platform. They’ve been focused on the development of the whole project, and feel now is the time to expose to the masses. 

We welcome their choice of the Steem ecosystem as they’ve worked hard to bridge between the Steem blockchain and the Byteball platform. Not only is the platform successful in achieving the goals set by the developers, but it is also a clear example of how two large platforms can complement one another and collaborate to achieve mutual goals. 

You can read more about Byteball, and the team’s plan to attract Steem users to Byteball in their recent [post](https://steemit.com/byteball/@punqtured/byteball-invites-contributors-to-join-the-community) and also in an official [Steemit blog post](https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/welcome-byteball-to-steem) welcoming the Byteball team to Steem.

It is our great pleasure and honor to welcome Byteball to the VIPO club, giving our community of contributors a clear and direct path to making contributions to improve the platform even further. As the team aims for platform mass-adoption, translators are of need on this project. Of course, one cannot forget the building pillars of a project: the development team and software testers. 

If you are interested in contributing to this amazing project, contact @punqtured and he will give you all necessary information for you to join the forces and start working on tasks. Official tasks requests will be published in the following weeks and resteemed on @utopian.tasks to give you the maximum information necessary to contribute to the project.

Joining the Steem blockchain, the Byteball team prepared a pleasant surprise for all users - they announced a free airdrop for all Steemians! Linking your Steem account with a Byteball wallet will give you an advantage in sending funds to your Steem comrades as you will not have to send funds to long and hard-to-remember addresses.

You can earn your first Bytes depending on your current reputation. The attestation rewards are as follows:

| Reputation | Reward |
|-|-|
|30+|$10|
|40+|$20|
|50+|$40|
|60+|$80|
|70+|$160|

If you would like to have more information and join the airdrop you can visit [this link](https://steemit.com/@punqtured/official-byteball-airdrop-to-steemians).

### Steemer

<center><img src="https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZjDB9oh3rjxTeza2LiwwTXx8ftw5Hke22b3mUh5UCb8h/STEEMER-BANNER02.png"></center>

Steemer is a mobile app for interacting with the Steem blockchain. The developer, @hispeedimagins, has been working on the app for some time and he would like to increase the number of app users. In other words, he welcomes advertisers who would help with spreading the word about this app on the blockchain and beyond. Furthermore, the app has been released in the Google Play last week, so give it a try and share your new ideas, features that you would like to see in this app, and if you come across some bugs - do report them!

You can read more in the latest [announcement post](https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@hispeedimagins/steemer-release-and-update) and watch the development post series.

## Translations Category Growth

The DaVinci team is working hard on the Translations category and their latest announcement details their team growth, introducing new members and better team structure as the project continues to expand.

For more information on their current structure, you can check [this post](https://steemit.com/witness-update/@davinci.witness/davinci-witness-update-8-new-teams-formed).

## Utopian.io on The Crypto Renaissance Exhibition Website

<center><img src="https://thecreativecrypto.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/crypto_renaissance_io.png"></center>

The Crypto Renaissance exhibition will be held next week in New York and the team from @sndbox are hard at work publishing the updates regarding the event. One of the latest additions to this whole event is a newly created web page dedicated to the event and all selected projects on Steem blockchain.

In the past weeks, we could see that they worked on informative posters with the basic information about each project. They also run the fundraising campaign to fund the exhibition.

You can read more in their [announcement](https://steemit.com/marketing/@sndbox/the-crypto-renaissance-website-launch) and visit the website at https://cryptorenaissance.io/.

Hey! I found your account on steemit and I wanted to ask you if youd be willing to join a telegram group where we can post urls for our blog posts on telegram. That way we can grow faster and have a strong support group. The telegram group is meant for people on steemit with high SP, so that way we dont have people in that dont pull a lot of weight.
If you think about if we had 30-40 members each with 20k SP each we could be making a few bucks on each post we make! if youre down for this project hmu 4104192845 or my snapchat luisbox98. If you dont have ny of those options just reply to me here ! :)

Absolutely fantastic drill-down of the Byteball project. I've read quite a few reviews from people new to Byteball, but this has to rank in the top-3 easily. Spot on about the project's values, the description of our aim to work closely together with Utopian and wonderful to see the relevant links in the post too. Thank you very much :-)

Hi @punqtured:)
I've got a question about Byteball airdrop referral program.
If I want to receive the reward:
1. The referred user has to click the referral byteball.org link and then receive the 0.0006 GB from me or...
2. The referred user has to receive the 0.0006 GB from me (this does not work so far).


Thank for the answer in advance, tip! :)
