RE: Apply here for dolphin support: 400-800 SP accounts.
707.480 is my current SP and I lease another 1000 to give me enough voting power to had out votes to help grow the plankton that are featured in my Pay It Forward Curation Contest.
The PIF Curation contest is designed to help level 50 and below steemians gain more exposure. A group of curators create entry posts where they feature 2 level 50 or below steemians who wrote a great post that deserves some added votes and attention. We have had multiple posts featured which later were picked up by Curie...which tells me we have a few quality curators taking part in the contest!
Side note we are always looking for more people to join the contest and help us find even more great plankton and minnows to feature!
This contest is pretty much my focus each week as it is very time consuming, but I also help with Steem Greeters Guild and just had my first post published for SteemBasicIncome and will be helping with other posts there to keep them growing. All of these efforts are focused on helping members of steemit continue their growth.
Plans over the near future are to get PIF it's own account, build a PIF vote trail to allow some larger members of steemit to be able to reward the top featured blog posts without having to invest the time into reading all of the entries, and to build up an account which will be used to adopt the best featured bloggers each week and help support them and get them past the 60 day mark and reduce the churn rate of new accounts.
Now while all of this is designed to help others grow and some might think I'm not trying hard enough to grow my account. The give first and then receive approach also helps me grow. Our PIF contest curators' accounts grow each week and their votes keep increasing which helps me grow and give them even larger votes and the circle of growth continues week after week. Plus more newbies we can get hooked on steemit the better chance we have of steem going up in value which helps all of our investments. Win-Win for everyone is the way I see this and so far it's been working nicely.
Anyways that is me and what my future plans are. Any support is always welcome!
I pretty much already implied it but here's your official congratulations message. Watch @m-sargon for details as I get this started.
Thank you! Look forward to seeing this program in action and please let me know if you ever need anything on my end.
Thanks for the application. If I'd realized you were eligible I'd have bugged you earlier. I really love PIF and it's pretty much exactly what I'm looking for here.
Thanks for pointing this out to me. Been one of those weeks where I am jumping on for 10 minute here, 30 minutes there, and really mainly just focusing on my PIF efforts. Some weeks that is the only thing that gets done, but it always is done. Can't ignore the efforts of those taking the time to curate others and don't ever want to short change those who were featured by the curators.
That's a great thing your doing .
Your support for the PIF curation contest would provides and helps redfish move up to the next level . With your support behind @thedarkhorse , PIF that number would increase dramatically . Also allowing PIF to be self sustaining for the future of the platform .
It answers both your community and growth requirement with a bonus of it easy to monitor
I'm a little late getting in on this, but I totally missed thedarkhorse 'applying' here and wanted to give him my full endorsement!
I really like your Pay It Forward curation contest and I think it would be wonderful if it can get more support. Your project helps the smallest fish who needs the most support.
Thank you! Have been hearing more and more people mention PIF and that has really motivated me to start organizing to move this to the next level.
My full support to @thedarkhorse! His contest is beautiful and I intend to participate every week and often fail. But he does so much for the community and really needs to have more SP in his account and not be in need to lease it!
I'd lease the 1,000 no matter what as I've made a long term commitment for it which got me a reduced rate. Nice win-win situation with that. But I still need way more SP to do what I'd like to be able to achieve.
Thanks for your support!
Thank you for an amazing initiative @tcpolymath. I love the #payitforward contest and what it does for newbies. For what it is worth, I think to strengthen @thedarkhorse in his tireless and selfless pursuit of PIF's goals would be an awesome application of the help you are making available.
