Thank you to everyone that submitted an application to become a Crypto Professor. We have now been through all the applications and are happy to announce the appointment of three new Professors. Season 5 of the Steemit Crypto Academy will be starting next week, but in the meantime the ten Introductory courses are still available for anyone at the Beginners level who has completed at least Level 4 of the Achievement Tasks in the Newcomers Community. --- --- ### The New Crypto Professors

For Season 5 we have selected the following people to join the team of Crypto Professors… * **@sachin08** [ India ] * **@shemul21** [ Bangladesh ] * **@utsavsaxena11** [ India ] These new Professors will be joining @dilchamo (Sri Lanka), @fredquantum (Nigeria), @imagen (Venezuela), @kouba01 (Tunisia), @lenonmc21 (Venezuela), @nane15 (Venezuela), @pelon53 (Venezuela), @reddileep (Sri Lanka), @reminiscence01 (Nigeria), @sapwood (India) and @wahyunahrul (Indonesia). @allbert, @awesononso and @yohan2on are stepping down from their role as Crypto Professors. --- **If you have been selected as a new Crypto Professor please would you confirm your acceptance of the role in a comment below, and also include your Discord and Telegram contact details.** --- --- ### Season 5 Rule Changes

For Season 5, the Reputation requirements for each level are remaining the same, but the minimum Steem Power requirements are changing… | Level | Reputation | Steem Power | | --- | --- | --- | | Introductory | 50 | 150 SP | | Beginners | 55 | 300 SP | | Intermediate | 60 | 600 SP | | Advanced | 65 | 900 SP | --- There will also be, for the new season, some changes to the voting system. Homework posts with a grade of at least 5 out of 10 will receive a percentage vote at the following rates... * Introductory courses = 1 x the grade from @steemcurator02 * Beginners courses = 1.5 x the grade from @steemcurator02 * Intermediate courses = 2 x the grade from @steemcurator02 * Advanced courses = 3 x the grade from @steemcurator02 Voting will primarily be done by @steemcurator02 (4 million SP). However if @steemcurator02 exceeds its voting power at any time, votes may be given by @steemcurator01 or @booming instead. Each week, each Professor will also be selecting their ‘Top 3’ homework posts. These posts will receive an additional 10% bonus vote from @steemcurator01. --- **For Season 5 only people actively, and successfully, participating in #club5050 will be eligible to take part in the Crypto Academy homework tasks.** To take part in #club5050 you must be powering up at least 50% of your earnings, and over the previous 30 days, any cash-outs or transfers must be matched by equal or greater power-ups. You must also not be powering down, nor using any vote buying or bid-bot services, nor delegating to any ‘investment services’ or bid-bots. **PLEASE NOTE - we reserve the right to reduce the vote of anyone not following the rules of #club5050 correctly, so make sure you are familiar with the requirements and check your balances with https://steemworld.org/transfer-search.** --- --- ### Introductory Courses
