The New Class of Steem Accounts: Shells
So everyone knows the current Steem "class" system based on how much Steem Power you have. It goes like this:
1,000,000,000 Vests - Whale
100,000,000 Vests - Orca
10,000,000 Vests, - Dolphin
100,000 Vests - Minnow
Less than that - Redfish
Well with Hard Fork 20, we will have a new class of functional Steem accounts, that start with literally 0 Steem Power. I think it is a significant step, to move from zero to non-zero, so we should have a new term for this new class of Steemian.
Shellfish are often among the smallest of sea creatures. I think the idea of shells fits with an account which is waiting to be filled with Steem Power. What do you think?
You missed the Manatee and snapper.
How about Krill?

It's true.
I like the "shellfish" appellation, especially how the word "shell" suggests an outer container which, of course, can be filled with SP. The other possibility I thought of was "krill", for obvious reasons.
Great Idea. I cannot wait to hear what these shells have to say..
hahah... nice to see Spongebob around!!
Of course. ;)
Why not? It's an interesting concept. I'll toss you a follow.

That is disgusting! lol I think Im a red fish...Crying noises*
Love it! I could do with a shell... and it may be the only 'mussel' I put on this year! haha
I like it! Wow, I had not idea that this was happening. Thanks for the update. Who will these "shell" accounts be? Will it be all new users who sign up?
It will be new users signed up by Steemit after hard fork 20.
@demotruk, I like the name Shell, it also stand for something that needs to be protected and our new users need to be protected and supported. Only thing I don't like is the picture ;) not very tasty.
