Learning About Tron #1 : Where to find the people of Tron

avatar
(Edited)

Since the partnership between Tron and Steemit was announced on Friday I have been keen to learn more about Tron.

I have been particularly interested to find out about the people of Tron - the Tron Community.

As Tron does not have a social site like steemit.com there is not obvious starting place.

So I took to Twitter and asked some 'Tronics'.

I quickly found some very helpful Tron people there who pointed me in the right direction...

The TRON Foundation

The TRON Foundation is the official body that oversees TRON. It is headed by CEO Justin Sun.

Super Representatives

As part of the governance structure TRON has Super Representatives (SR) who have a similar role to Steem Witnesses.

There are currently around 200 SR candidates. Every 6 hours a new election starts and the 27 SR candidates with the most votes officially represent the Tron Protocol. These 27 hold the title of Super Representative.

The list of the current Super Representatives can be found on TronScan...

The voting is done by the holders of the TRX token. The TRX has to 'frozen' as Tron Power to qualify for voting.

There is an easy to follow guide to the voting procedure on the MrsCryptoFreak.com website...

Super Representatives earn 16 TRX for every block generation which they can use to fund development and to reward their community.

A full explanation of the Election and Reward systems can be found here...

Different SR Candidates offer different levels of reward to their supporters.

One place to find what those rewards are is on Token/Goodies...

TRON Developers

At the heart of TRON are the developers. As well as the large number of developers working for the TRON Foundation (total staff c 500), there is a significant ecosystem of independent developers working on the many TRON based dApps.

The TRON Foundation runs the TRON Developer Hub which is the primary source of all technical information for developing for TRON...

The GitHub for the TRON Protocol is here...

There is a Discord server for TRON Developers and SRs...

It appears to be quite different to most Steem related Discords - restricted to development and SR 'business' rather than more general discussion.

There is also a TRON Core Dev Community group on Telegram...

There are regular live meetings for the TRON Core Devs that can be viewed on YouTube. These appear to be monthly. This is the recording of this month's meeting...

TRON at large

For more general TRON information and discussion there is a TRON Telegram group. This appears to be very active with over 87,500 members...

I learnt from Twitter that the people of the TRON community generally refer to themselves as TRONICS.

There is a TRONICS Community forum, although I understand this is new and not yet that active...

TRON on Twitter

There are a considerable number of active TRON people on Twitter.

The main Twitter accounts I have found so far include...

I have interacted with a number of TRON people on Twitter and they have all been very helpful and keen to learn more about Steem. A few that I have to hand include...

TRON on Steem

There are a growing number of TRON people from Twitter that have come across to try out Steem.

A few that I have spotted so far include...

This is what I have found so far.

I am sure I have missed much and many.

Please do comment below with any relevant information, links, groups and people that should be added.

You can also find me on Discord - Pennsif#9921

Thank you.

A braver man than I, you boldly venture into the unfathomable dephs of the Tron-o-sphere.
What fortune and pleasure did you seek? What did you truly discover during your quest?
I keep picturing Jules Verne stuff or A Heart of Darkness as I think of this.

In my opinion this is a healthy thought. When Steemit collaborates or is even acquired by TRON then when we as Steemians know better about TRON. This will make us know clearly how we stand for TRON and the biosa behaves wisely in various ways related to STEEMTRON.
Opening up insights will open our hearts and minds. Thank you for this enlightening post.

You can take a look at Tronscan Tron blockchain Explorer at this link https://tronscan.org/#/
You can link your Ledger Nano S Hardware Wallet to this web address and access your wallet, that is a plus!
There is also a link to Poloni DEX exchange, and there are a lot of trading pairs.
Looking at this in the positive light....cautiously..... This might bring Steem into the forefront of the crypto world!
Steem is my home, and I am powering up , but I also HODL TRX.....
Steem On!!!

The first time I heard that Steem and Tron were partnering I was really hoping it was a blockchain Tron game.

So maybe Sun is not after the steem community, after all.

Maybe a different type of community perhaps? Less dev, more social...

Besides the Telegram group there are a lot of groups of Tron projects with their own Telegram group, with a lot of positive engagement. An example here is the CITYUPTAKE Telegram group, which is a passive income project, but which has a lot of general communication about Tron and crypto in general as well: https://t.me/CITYUPTAKE

Great post with lot of useful information. Thank for digging the Tron ecosystem for us.

people of the TRON community generally refer to themselves as TRONICS.

Good to know. I wondered if if was Tronians or Tronions.

Looks like we will have to get accustomed
to a new culture and language

I heard Andrew use that 500 developer number watching the replay from the show. I have heard different... 500 seems like a lot.

Thanks for the mention! I’m very happy with the merger of Tron & Steemit (whatever it should be called). I think it will be equally beneficial and hope Steemit is able to be propelled further by the added marketing from JSun.
