For those are new to Steem(it)

Steemit is a blockchain based contents service, based on "Steem" blockchain (note: Steemit is not Steem. Steemit uses Steem).

• You can make an anonymous account using AnonSteem.
• You can run Steem node on your local machine. Ubuntu is basically supported and you can use Docker too (Instruction)
• You can just use cli_wallet with public node, even on Windows 10 (Instruction)

Enjoy!
