Retweet and Reblog Contest, $200 + Payout Giveaway
CONTEST HAS ENDED
I will give $50 SBD to a randomly selected user who upvotes this Steemit post.
Oh, that's just vote buying, right? Well I'll give the full SBD value of this post payout and $100 extra to a randomly selected user who retweets the following tweet:

I stake my public reputation that I will make these payouts, however it works out. Payout for the tweet will be via your choice of Bitcoin, PayPal or Steem Dollars (if you register with Steemit). How I choose the random users can be discussed in the comments if needed.
Edit: Gonna give an additional $50 to a random user who resteems. Also, competition ends with the first payout for this post.
Another update: the payout will include that from related posts such as this:
Edit2: Contest is over, I will take a snapshot of retweets now, and random selection and announcement of winners will happen tomorrow.
Curious what result your experiment will bring. I wonder in principle what value attention will have going forward into the attention economy. The telecom industry already predicts that in a number of years communication will be free of charge because the costs will be covered by companies who live of the attention economy. I myself wonder when attention will reach a value that you can travel free of charge by plane to key destinations.
Hmm, as steempower holders, steemit is our key to a piece of the attention economy revenue. Your initial question is a good one, and a philosophical one at that.
I usually don't do these but your angle caught my eye. Good on you
Upvoted and resteemed. Interested to see how this one turns out, regardless of whether I win anything or now.

Interesting experiment, but this is more of a contest entry than actually buying each one of our attention or retweets! The possibility of winning a lot is what catches our interest, not the immediate reward of being paid.
Edit: Still interesting and seems genuine, also I am not against vote buying. Upvoted and retweeted!
True. If it was easy to split the money out between everyone (especially on Twitter that will be hard) I would do the 'buy attention' thing more literally.
Yeah it definitely is not easy, you need a script for steemit and for twitter it would be brutally hard to manually do it! I know you would ^_^
Hi @ballinconscious, congratulations, you won the main prize!

$110, how would you like it sent? Steem Dollars is ideal for me, but I can also send it via Bitcoin or PayPal.
Holy crap this is freaking awesome! i have been more lucky with winning contests on steemit than I have been with all other contests during my whole life combined I think! So glad I tweeted, at first I was thinking,"well there is no guarantee since it is a contest and it looks like my odds will be low because of all the other entries". :p
Wow thank you so much. I really appreciate you and the random algorithm that you chose that chose me ^_^ Obviously I am following you now :p
P.S. Mmmm definitely not paypal :p either bitcoin since it might go up or SBD since there is 9% interest. Let me check the bitcoin chart now first before i decided :p
Have you decided Steem Dollars or Bitcoin?
If you want Bitcoin just send me an address (it will have to be done publicly that I can prove that I sent it.
Well, you got my attention. Retweeted, resteemed, upvoted, etc.
Curious to see how this pans out.

Let's do it! Retweeted!
Retweeted :)
Great experiment. Upvoted and tweet retweeted.
Retweeted.
sorry that took me a while to do. I had to find out how to retweet something.
I've never done that before ;-)
As for how to randomly select the winner, my favourite strategy is to pick someone with a name that sounds like... Trevor.
Then from that list pick someone who lives in a small south pacific country like..... New Zealand.
And then from that list pick the one who is closest in age to a specific number, like oh, I don't know.... 50.
So there you are give that strategy a whirl and see how it works out. It has always worked well for me :-)
