๐ Redfish Rocket Contest 3: Win A Delegation And Stop Running Out Of RC
Do you want to win a delegation that will allow you to engage and post without having to look at your RC bar every 5 minutes? Then join the 3rd edition of the Redfish Rocket Contest.
HF20
With the introduction of Resource Credits after HF20, I had to change the concept of the Redfish Rocket Contest. Before, it was all about making sure users had enough bandwidth to stay active on SteemIt. Now we are dealing with Resource Credits.
Many small accounts have been limited in their ability to post, comment and vote, or basically do anything on the platform.
New users who have been invited to join our awesome community can't even work their way up because they don't have enough Steem Power to properly post or engage. Users who were already here, putting in a lot of hard work in order to grow their account, are suddenly limited in their efforts.
Personally, I find this very unfair. How can be expected that a user grows his account when he can only make 10 comments and 1 post a day? The answer is simple: NOT.

Redfish Rocket Contest
So I decided it was high time to host another edition of my Redfish Rocket contest; a contest in which I delegate some Steem Power to people who are serious about SteemIt, but are limited by the resources the platform gives them.
I think I can say the previous editions were a success. Most former Redfish Rockets are climbing their way up on the SteemIt ladder on their own now.
ย
The situation has changed a bit, so I had to adapt the contest to this new situation.
The outcome will stay the same: by this time next week, some people will have more breathing space and will be able to function close to normal again.
Please understand I am just a small dolphin (the smallest kind there is), and I'm not in the position to help everyone, no matter how hard I want to.
ย
That's why I want to give a shoutout to all people who have (a little) Steem Power to spare:

Delegation And How To Get It
10 people will receive a delegation that will bring their current amount of SP up to 100SP.
They'll get to keep the delegation for 6 weeks.
They'll get to keep the delegation for 6 weeks.
I know, 100 SP won't solve all your resource credit-problems, but at least you'll be able to function again on this platform.
100SP is still not much, but it will give you a chance to survive.
ย
I assume you understand I won't be giving away those delegations to just anyone. I want to make sure that this delegated Steem Power is put to good use, so I'll select only people who are committed to SteemIt and are putting in an effort to grow their account, both through posting and interacting with the community.

To be eligible to become one of my Redfish Rockets, to get รกnd keep the delegation, you'll need to comply with some requirements.
- You currently have 75SP or less (including delegations).
- You post regularly - at least 4 times a week should be doable.
- You actively engage with other people in the community through voting, commenting and replying to comments.
- You power up as much as you can.
- You haven't powered down before.
I'll be doing some research on how you have been performing on the platform before: what the quality of your posts was, how engaged you were, how committed you were to grow.
Once the delegations have been sent, I will follow up to make sure that you keep doing the best you can with the means you have. If you show any sign of being less committed, I'll contact you to talk about it. Afterward, I'll decide whether I will leave the delegation in place or not.
(We all know that a lot can happen in 8 weeks. Please let me know when something prevents you from going full power. Maybe an unexpected event comes up, or you get sick, or you're losing your motivation,... It doesn't matter what it is, but drop me a not on Discord to let me know.)

Now, if you're interested in receiving a delegation, leave a comment underneath this post on Steemit.
In this comment, tell me why you should be one of the next Redfish Rockets. Let me know what you've been doing, and what your future plans are. Also, include a link to one of your best posts.
In case you don't have enough RC to reply to this post, send me your comment in a personal DM on Discord. You can find me there as simplymike#5957.
ย
If you don't qualify yourself, I urge you to spread the word and send people who are suffering from the restrictions to this post.
A resteem of this post would be very much appreciated
ย
Also, there are more people who are hosting contests with delegations as prizes. Make sure you find them!
ย
Winners Announcement
I'll announce the winners of the delegation once this post has reached payout. In case there are many applicants, please allow me to take a little extra time to do my research.
The list of names of the new Redfish Rockets will be revealed in a post like this one, so keep your eyes open.
ย
DISCLAIMER: I reserve the right to not send out all 10 delegations. Contestants can only win a delegation if I think they've put in enough effort into posting and engaging, and both their posts and comments are of a decent quality.

Great initiative @simplymike. I just did resteem this post to my 4.7K followers, maybe it will bring a bit more visibility.
Also, I would like to nominate to this contest @zanetaviz, hopefully she will notice this and apply personally. She is pushing really hard with her camera, but seems been struggling with low RC lately.
Will keep my eye on this even, in case I see some other window for support.
Thank you, @onealfa, for nominating me to this contest! :) I highly appreciate your support! :) I will gladly apply to this contest. ๐๐
Thanks for the support, @onealfa. I really appreciate it.
Wow Sir.Onealfa! Sometime dreams come true....:)))
Hi, @simplymike!
Many thanks for your initiative to help newcomers! It's so great!
I would also like to thank my supporter @onealfa for making this contest known to me. :)
I'm very interested in receiving a delegation because I feel that, due to recent changes, I have started to loose motivation for Steemit. It has become less attractive to me... :( I used to be more active in posting and interacting with Steemit users and I have found truly interesting and nice people here with whom I would gladly interact more, but now I feel so limited and restricted being unable to answer to all comments, to upvote all posts that deserve upvoting... :(
I would like to give a link to one of my mots favourite posts: https://steemit.com/colorchallenge/@zanetaviz/colorchallenge-thursday-green-paradise-valley-morocco
Thank you, @simplymike! ๐
I can understand it works demotivating ifyou are so limited. But you shouldn't give up. I'm pretty sure this situation will be fixed, eventually.
I've added you to the list.
@zanetaviz, while we're waiting for the contest post to reach payout and I can choose who will get pushed up to 100SP, I've already delegated a little to get you up to 50sp, so you'll have some breathing space)
Thank you very much, @simplymike, for your support!!! I highly appreciate that! โค๐๐
First of all, I want to thank you for giving this opportunity to the little ones. I would love to apply. I'm a poet and fiction writer with just 2 months in Steemit (I publish mainly in spanish), and my favorite thing here is the interaction. There is nothing that fills me more than seeing the comments in my publications and knew other artists. After the HF everything fell apart.
I ALWAYS answered the comments and rewarded the votes. I used to look for interesting and talented users and interact with them. Now I can't, and I hate it with all my soul. I just try to vote them back but is not the same. I feel restricted. I can't be part of this community that I have taken so much love of if I canโt interact. Please, take a look at my blog.
My future plans are to resume my poetry contest. The first had a very good acceptance despite having very low prizes and I would love to do contests on a regular basis.
Another thing, I use the money I earn to help my family, so I can not invest in SP as I would like.
Again, thanks a lot <3
It was hard to choose one: https://steemit.com/spanish/@elelobos/bajo-el-puente-or-parte-iii-relato
PD: Sorry for my english.
Wow, even when translated using the automated translator that story is really good!
Thanks for applying, @elelobos.I've added your name to the list.
There's no need to apologize for your English, it's more than good enough :0)
@elelobos, while we're waiting for the contest post to reach payout and I can choose who will get pushed up to 100SP, I've already delegated a little to get you up to 50sp, so you'll have some breathing space)
@simplymike THANK YOU! I'll give the best possible use. I now seriously breathe better hehehe <3
I should have thought of this sooner, instead of letting you all wait a week, suffering from low RC. It's not much yet, but at least it's a little.
I'm really curious to read more of your stories. In general, I don't read fiction on Steemit, but in the future, I'll gladly make an exceptation for yours :0)
Check your wallet. I cheated ;0)
AAAAAAH Thank you so much! You're awesome. I feel as if my ties have been finally cut off XD Seriously, thanks. Now I feel doubly committed. With Steemit and with you. I will try that you don't regret it.
Hi,
I'd like to participate in the contest too.
Just checked my RC, if I was able to comment. Yes, I am๐ I can leave even 2 comments๐
It's my 73rd day on Steemit. I like the platform, though it's quite difficult to get noticed.
I like writing and I'm happy when people read my posts. I love communicating, so I tend to be active when possible:)
I write about travelling, cultural and language peculiarities of the countries I visited, and my thoughts๐

Thanks for applying, @tata-natana.
Unless you're a big shot here on SteemIt, it's hard to get noticed for everyone. It's lot quiter after HF20, so keep posting and networking as much as you can. (Discord is an excellent place to meet people and build a network, and best of all, it won't cost you RC, so you can communicate as much as you want)
I've put your name on the list. :0)
Hello, @SimplyMike First I also think R.C of newbies is so low for posting and commenting even My R.C allowing me one comment at this time that I am writing now. Some Days ago I upvote every good post and comment but when I do that my R.C gets low. Many times when I write a post then click on post button so it shows that recharge your R.C and at that time I power up. I had never power down. I am mainly posting @Steemmonsters, giveaways, @OriginalWorks contest and airdrops because I am busy these days after some days I will be free then I will post about many useful things. I do not write too much In giveaways because in SteemIt there are only some peoples which read your post fully. I also have little response on my posts. I will also post on @Utopian in free days. I hope I can receive delegation I have only 8 S.P.
@talhatarique, I just checked out your blog and commenst.
To grow here on SteemIt, you'll need to step up when it comes to engaging with others. Be more talkative, read other people's blog posts and leave meaningful comments.
I've just pushed up your SP to 50 to give you some more breathing space, but you really need to show more action in commenting on other posts.
(This small delegation has nothing to do with the contest. I'll decide who to push to 100sp once the contest post has reached payout)
Yes I will. Thanks for the delegation @Simplymike.
I noticed you had only 8SP. You don't come a long way with that. I'll put your name on the list. You're in :0
A shout out to @shadowmask for making this known to me.
Big thanks for the initiative, helping the many us with the little RC to climb up this ladder.
My application: I tries to be as active as I can regardless of a schedule, writing on different topics, photography, poetry, tiny-economy, and general ideas. Hopeful You'll find me worth the push up. Thanks.
I think everyone is worth it to be able to do his thing here on SteemIt. And I wish I could fix the problem for everyone. Unfortunately I can't help everyone. I wish I wouldn't have to make a choice between people, because everyone deserves to have the right to express himself.
I've added your name to the list.
You are the one from the post about how many lines a post should have, right? I read it last week, when I was judging for the Pay It Forward (@pifc) Challenge
@murathe, I just noticed you got a delegation from Blocktrades. Did you lease it yourself? Any idea how long it will stay there?
Well, it was supposed to end up as a 'power up', only to realize it's a delegation. Labelled 90 days.@simplymike.
You can grow your account quite a bit in 90 days. So you won't be eligible to win this contest anymore, but keep an eye out for the winners post, in which i'll try to share some tips on how to.maximize your earnings.
Hi there, I feel unsafe in this RC jail. Can't even comment let alone interacting and building any community. I would love to receive the delegation in order to start building my account again as I was before this hard fork happened.
Its tough to decide on which post could be the best as I put equal effort in writing all the posts that I have written but just to make it, here's a link to one of my posts
https://steemit.com/life/@hananali/destiny-a-myth
Thanks for applying, @hananali. I've added your name to the list. I can see you have a delegation from @janton. Do you know if this is a short-term delegation or a lon-term?
Maybe save your RC and don't reply. I guess @janton will be able to tell me. :0)
Thank you for taking time out and looking into it @simplemike <3 Means a lot :)
No problem. Glad to help :0)
Keep doing the helping hand to all the needy accounts here :)
Unfortunately I can't help all accounts, although I wish I could. But I'm doing my best to help as many as I can
That's true, no matter how hard we try we can not always help everyone out there. But as much as you can, you are doing a very good job :)
Good effort in helping small developing account!
Pls count me in, need to power up. :)
I've wasted quite a lot of time during past year.
and since this recent change (HF20) suddenly found myself not able to do even as much as post regularly LOL
now trying to catch up.
Upvoted, resteemed, commented. (oh, and followed too)
@vimukti-ananda, what do you mean with
I mean: didn't post anything and also didn't read, participate in discussions (comments, upvotes, etc) - basically did not much even opened Steemit. :)
And what made you change your mind?
let's say - I got inspired by success of many other steemians :)
(sorry, my RC is low, recharges slowly - thus my commenting ability is limited;
also trying to recharge enough for making new blog posts)
Sorry. It was a little stupid of me to ask you a question and make you spend the little RC that you have on another comment. Bad habits ;0/
Hi Sir,
I saw your comment under my post regarding HF20 issues... first of all thank you so much for organising this contest.
Please include me in your nominations. I'm a serious steemian who is struggling with the current HF20 update, if I get this delegation I can do much better. And I have few friends who are about to quit SteemIT, atleast I can help them with an upvote.
Thank you so much

No problem, @celinavisaez. Your name is on the list.
It is very smart of you to stay active using Steemhunt!
I'll try to get the winners post out tomorrow or at last Wednesday, but meanwhile I've delegate 25sp to you - so you're at 50sp now.
Gracias @simplymike! Inmensamente agradecida, por tu bondad, la sensaciรณn que tenia de estar, atada de pies y mano, con una mordaza en la boca, ya se me quito. Me siento bendecida, al encontrar gente como Ud. y @macoolette, en mi camino, Dios las bendiga, un fuerte y cariรฑoso abrazo.
Muy, muy feliz, de poder hacer este comentario.
Enjoy your delegation while it lasts, and make the most of it to grow your account... ๐
