I added you to the member list @simplymike. You are always supporting others and I'm happy to see your support here too.
For as far as I understand, everyone ,who will contribute one steem is eligible to win the weekly prize pool
Correct but even if you win the weekly prize (or pot), you are still committed to send in 1 STEEM for the rest of the weeks. Think of it as an interest free loan to someone in the group, and if your name is picked first, then you get to use the funds first.
We may not need the lump steem, but someone else may. So the goal is to support the group, but no one is ever at a loss. The pot is now at 9 STEEM with you added, so this will now run for 9 weeks. Everyone will get their 9 STEEM back; just a matter of when your their name is picked.
I will be joining, but I have a question: can I contribute the one steem and choose someone else to receive the payout?
Hmm...if you send on behalf of someone you mean? We can do that too. Just tell me in the memo section who the person is and I can add their name onto my list. With a note saying you're vouching ;)
Lol on my personal account. I'll DM you. :)
if I can help out with something, just give me a shoutout. I'm always prepared to spend a little of my time to initiatives like this one :0)
I know and that is why we love it when you stop by. Don't give up on here yet. We'll try to bring light to our corner of this place. I had a nasty morning but I'm not giving up yet!
