Dear Steemians,

It’s been more than 3 months since we are working tirelessly towards our mission of educating the investors about the passive investment opportunity in Steemit and have already succeeded in onboarding several investors who are happy with their daily returns. Steemit has proven time and again that it can consistently generate risk free returns of more than 15% APR for its investors even in such a bearish market thereby beating all the traditional investment avenues by a huge margin. And this is just the beginning.

*** **A Token of Appreciation To @thejohalfiles** ***

Some people are not satisfied with just the money or the status quo. They want to make a difference to the community in a way that could benefit each and every one of us. One such person is @thejohalfiles who is our sponsor and who has supported us relentlessly to pursue our mission to make Steemit, a mainstream investment platform in the world. Thank you so very much for everything you have done for us.

*** **ISTEEMD is now FREE for everyone** ***

Earlier, we used to charge 0.2% fee of the delegation amount to the bot owners in order to keep up with the operating costs. Thanks to our sponsor @thejohalfiles, now we do not require any fees to sustain our platform. So any bot owner can now get listed without worrying about the 0.2% fee which kept them away from listing their bot after sharing 100% earnings with their delegators.

*** **ISTEEMD Score Algorithm Update** ***

We have included more intricate features in order to rate the bot’s trust and performance score more effectively. Also, our algorithm is more robust taking into account most of the corner cases for bots which behave a bit differently than others and which are coded somewhat uniquely. We are constantly optimizing our rating algorithm and improving the scores so as to better match the needs of the delegators as well as the users of the bots.

*** **A Kind Request To All of You** ***

Spread Awareness about Steemit as much as you can. Through our collective efforts, we would increase the awareness of steemit not only as a blogging platform but also as an investment platform. We are also constantly trying to bring in institutional investors to steemit so that they could benefit from their investment and we all could benefit from the growth of steemit and steem to new all-time highs.

**We believe that this is just the start of a huge transformation that the blockchain industry will bring to our world in the coming years.** **Let’s be a part of the shift happening from centralization to decentralization.**
