What is Teh Tarik Sundays?

It is the FIRST talkshow initiated by @branlee87 and @zord189 with the support from #teammalaysia witness & lead, @bitrocker2020 exclusively for #teammalaysia members to gain exposure for their posts.

Why Teh Tarik? Because its what we Malaysians drink at a mamak stall when we hang out with friends. Here is what is going to happen on Sunday Nights :

Everyone is invited to join the Teh Tarik voice channel on Sundays at 10:00 pm.
Everyone is given a chance to promote a post.
You do not need to be the author of that post as you can promote your friend's post or a very interesting post for everyone to see.
During your sharing, the post promoted will be shared in the Kopitiam channel for everyone to see. You will also get extra exposure. Your post may even be rewarded.
Only the Moderators and Authors are allowed to speak in the voice channel. The listeners can and should engage in the Kopitiam Text Channel.

The Malaysian Guide

Teh Tarik - Directly translates into pulled tea. It is basically 'Hot Milk Tea' and the 'tarik', which means pulled gives the top of the milk tea some foam.

Kopitiam - 'kopi' which means coffee in Malay and 'tiam' which means shop in the Hokkien language. Kopitiam will be our text channel in discord.

Teh Tarik Sundays | EP20 (@vimm)

I was so excited all week for this recent Teh Tarik Sundays because firstly, we have the awesome @alvinauh and @kaerpediem to host the show and secondly, also the main highlight of the night was International Week! I have managed to get in contact with one of the owners of a budding live streaming platform called @vimm. He graciously agreed to come on the show to share a little bit about the platform and where it was headed. This guy is none other than @foreveraverage, the co-owner of @vimm.
The next generation of live-streaming

vimm.tv

When the recent debacle of what used to be a 'steem based app' left the Steem blockchain, @vimm started to catch wind as they've also recently launched their alpha version right after the other app left. Talk about the right timing.

Vimm.tv is a platform for content creators to livestream their content and get rewarded. vimm.tv helps monetize your content through the Steem blockchain using its upvote reward system.

I've also begun using @vimm starting from the previous Teh Tarik Sundays and I would say that even though it is still in alpha stage, the live stream was flawless. Everything was easy to setup, and it took my no more than 15 minutes. The team on their discord server is also very helpful and ever since the debacle of one of the major dapps leaving steemit, I'm sure you all have questions and are looking for a far better live streaming solution.

We started off with a little banter and light conversation and immediately got into the main topic of the night. @foreveraverage shared a little bit about his personal journey on Steemit and what made him want to start a live streaming platform seeing as there are already one or two existing ones on the Steem Blockchain. He explained what was @vimm focused on and the roadmap ahead. He also mentioned how @vimm is not a decentralized app and why. One of the most important questions asked was, "Will @vimm leave Steem Blockchain in the future?" Having seen that people were concern of the recent live streaming app leaving steem blockchain.

The night was a success having two awesome hosts, @alvinauh and @kaerpediem host it. I think I should retire and just sit back and relax. As the night closes, I can't help but think bout how Steemit has so much potential and have indeed given much opportunities to great minds like @foreveraverage and the @vimm team to create something of this blockchain. We all know that Steem blockchain is only 3 years old and many apps have since started off it. I'm excited for the future ahead and definitely, I would love to share them with you guys on many more Teh Tarik Sundays to come.

A Change in Schedule for TTS

I've decided to change the schedule to fit the new direction that Teh Tarik Sundays is progressing towards. That is to expand Internationally and cross-collaborate with International communities/initiatives and also to focus on internal #teammalaysia members. This new direction will open many opportunities to meet other amazing Steemians that are part of the whole Steemit ecosystem.

I will still be having #teammalaysia Authors come on the show but this will be at a specific week and the following would be an International segment.

The new schedule for Teh Tarik Sundays would be :

2 episodes, on the 2nd and 4th week of the month.
Every 2nd week would be an International episode where we invite International Steemians for the show.
Every 4th week would be the Routine Teh Tarik Sundays where 3 Authors can come and promote their post.
If there are no Special Guests on that month, we will proceed with the routine Teh Tarik Sunday

Teh Tarik Rewards!

Yes! I have decided to award Authors and listeners who join our Teh Tarik Sundays. We have decided to give out rewards to the following two :

Authors who come on the show to share their post.
Listeners who participate and asked the Best Question. 1 winner per post.

Best Question will be receiving 0.2 SBDs each.

Rewards every week varies according to our Teh Tarik Sundays Rewardpool. This week, I've decided to give 1 SBI to all the authors and best questions. Just a little something to celebrate hardfork 20.

@hooiyewlim have generously sponsored 0.6 SBD into the reward pool.

Best Question Rewards

If you do want to win a little STEEM/SBD, do come and join us weekly on Teh Tarik Sundays. We look to increase our rewards or to expand our reward system in time to come.

A Huge Thank You

Once again, on behalf of #teammalaysia, I would want thank @foreveraverage and the @vimm team for coming on the show and sharing about @vimm. I wish you all much success as we grow together on the Steem Blockchain

A shoutout to @bitrocker2020, @littlenewthings and @superoo7 for all the additional assistance to get the show running and knick-knacks after.
