The Minnow Power-up League
Every Thursday we will be using SteemSQL database managed by @arcange to gather details on the Owned SP for each person that has entered the league. The current weekly owned SP will be compared to the SP held last week. The person with the highest SP growth for the current week will be on top of the leader board.
There are 4 levels depending on your SP levels. Once you graduate from one, you will be automatically placed on the next. When you graduate from the 4th you will be placed on the Minnow Wall of Fame. As this post could get rather long with the 4 levels, as we grow, we may consider splitting this into different posts on different days.
Level 1
Congratulations to @trincowski being first in the league this week with a massive power up of 173.5 SP. And you have also exceeded 1500 and so graduate from level 1 to level 2 next week. Well Done!
In a close second is @chekohler and third is @scrawly.
Also in the top ten is @mightypanda, @obulunmaz, @aussieninja, @reazuliqbal, @jlordc, @themanwithnoname and @xabi
On the home stretch in level 1 is @definethedollar, less than 15 SP to go to graduate from level 1
Level 2
There are now 16 participants on level 2, and this weeks winner is @riverflows with an SP growth of 321.29.
Congratulations also to @ancientknowled3, knocked from first place but still managing second place this week.
@viraldrome and @gillianpearce you are on the home stretch. Not long before you graduate to the next level. Steem on!
Level 3
@mountainjewel you are first in this weeks level 3 league with an SP growth of 117.5. You also have also exceeded 3500 SP and so graduate from this level to the next level. Nice work.
Nice work also from @melinda010100 for coming in second. @niallon11, you are in third. The top 3 positions have stayed the same this week. Lets see what happens next week.
Level 4
@cranium, new to the league you are first in level 4 league this week holding @carlgnash in second place. Nice work also to @glenalbrethsen and @stevescoins. @masterthematrix keep going you will soon be a dolphin. You have less than 230 SP left before you graduate. Will you become our first minnow to graduate from the leagues as a dolphin?

Cheers all, good luck with your cards, see you all next week!
Ohhh I didn't expect to move up, but very pleasant surprise!
Thank you paulag and asher and steemcommunity <3.
No worries dude, thanks for joining in and well done on the prize this week :)
awesome work, keep it up
Congrats.
Hey, @steemcommunity.
Thank you for doing this. Thanks to the sponsors, too. Now I've got more than one league to look forward to each week. :)
Well, congratulations one and all—@trincowski, @chekohler, @scrawly, @riverflows, @ancientknowled3, @mountainjewel, @melinda010100, @cranium, and @carlgnash for earning the STEEM in your respective levels because of your power ups. Some of those amounts are simply amazing.
And hey, @niallon11, @coolguy123, @urbangladiator, @mightypanda, @obulunmaz, @aussieninja, @reazuliqbal, and @jlordc—what ya'll going to do with your steemmonster cards? :) Congratulations everyone for the prizes.
@masterthematrix—you're so close to becoming a dolphin, you can taste it. I wish you luck getting there as soon as you can. :)
Gaming is not my thing so I am going to sell them for sure. 😂
That's what I'm leaning towards, myself, @reazuliqbal—selling the cards. I'm sure someone will be interested. I need to learn some more about how that all works—what each card is worth, what makes a card worth what it is—but I will probably wait for a while to sell anything anyway just to see where all of this is going.
I am also waiting for that. steemmonsters.com has a market tab, you can follow that. I checked yesterday, all card prices seemed increased a bit.
I saw that, too. There's been plenty of posts coming through my feed mentioning STEEM Monsters and market prices. I guess they hit a low, and now they're coming back up. Starting game play may have helped that.
Yeah, as the league progresses demand for a few specific cards may increase, which will increase prices for those cards.
I didn't buy many, received a few, so just want to get more than 5 SBD I've spent.
Thanks, Glen! I understand how you feel about having more than one league to look forward to!
this league is really growing fast. well done on the power ups and winning the cards. I must say, I dont know anything about them either, gaming aint my thing too 😂
Well, thank you, and again, thank you for even doing this.
I can do gaming—I've spent enough of my life playing them, believe me—role playing and card battling games just aren't ones I like that much. With STEEM Monsters, there's a lot going on, and since I've not been following them from the start, I'm way behind in understanding how the game works, anyway.
I have plenty to be doing already. My wife would have a literal cow if I were playing and she found out. It would not be pretty. :) However, since cards have value and can be sold, I'm happy to do that once I figure out what I have and what it's all worth. :)
I'm in the same boat. I have a few cards but never looked into them at all. I use so much of my spare time on here already that I can't afford another addiction and it seems to be taking off in a big way.
I'll hold them for a while and maybe look into how the whole thing works. I know that some of them can be fairly valuable but have no idea how or why.

Hey, @niallon11.
STEEM Monsters is taking off, judging by how many posts there are about it in my feed every day, so hopefully that means there will be time to figure this all out and maybe catch it when prices are up (whatever up is). As for playing—I could see myself doing it, but as you say, most of my time is already spent on STEEM, trying to gain some rewards. We'll see. Might need to go back through some posts and see if there's any clues as to what makes what more value. So, far, my guess is, common cards are worth the least, while rare, epic and legendary are worth more. :)
i'm having look at it there for the past hour just trying get to grips with the whole site. I can see where the attraction is and where the possibilities are too. If the game gets big with big prizes people will spend a lot to build a solid team of monsters. I'm not sure if i want to get involved but i do like where they are going with it.
I've not looked at it to that great of depth, but from the bits and pieces I've been reading from posts and comments, it sounds like there's all kinds of things they could do with it. I do have to say that I am amazed at the level of the graphics and what animation there is. There will have to be more to it at some point, though, for it to continue to grow.
Personally, I'd like to see it go into mobile AR, like Pokemon Go. You could just go down the street, or even around your house, battling individual monsters. I guess it's turned based role playing now, but still, I think it takes on all kinds of looks if they had the time and resources to expand it out.
I have to post in order to earn right? That’s the way it works? Oops. 😉
Thanks for this compilation, as always!
you can always enter contests 😉
I'm trying with Steem Monsters --learning right now but when they are officially rolled out, dolphinhood, here I come! :)
Lots of different ways to earn. Steemmonsters can be one too. I use actifit, contests and lots of commenting.
If you comment enough in the right areas you can win and earn a good bit of steem. Look into the @curie page and their comment contest. I do post but that only gives small returns most days. There is an engagement league like this too where commenting enough can earn steem.

Hey, @beeyou.
Looks like others have been answering you here (not sure if you were actually asking a question or just being humorous), but I thought I would just say hi, how's it going? We've been enjoying unseasonably warm and clear weather for over a week now, and it's supposed to keep up into the next week. It reminds me of how much you wanted to be out in it when summer was coming. :)
WOW! Second place, I really managed to have a great week and just beat @scrawly you doing really well too! @trincowski 173 SP up thats a massive jump, won't be long before we're all at Level 2
yepeeeeeee and congratulations. Keep powering up. This time next year all you dudes and dudesses will be so thankful you did this
The amount that people are growing by is massive. It just goes to show what a section of active users can acomplish on the site. This is what we should all aspire to and congrats.

Wow! I wasn't counting on this, that's for sure. Two weeks ago I came in second, with a Power Up of 570 ... This week I'm first with 173? Ah ah!
Nice to see you up there, too, @scrawly!
Many thanks for the prize! I'm still a bit far from that 1500, though. :-)
Congratulations.....I need to edit the post, thanks for pointing that out
Thanks so much for the Steem! Now I must hurry over to power up! 😃
go go go power up all the way 😃
Oh man, I want in! I just wrote about my goal to get to 5k SP and @allseeingewe reminded me to check this out as she has told me about it already!
Great project, I look forward to seeing it progress!
I am glad that I am in top 10...
And I request all reading this to vote for Steem on Netcoins...
Netcoins Coin Listing Contest
Lets take Steem to the Moon!!!
Cast my vote, and will do later today :D
Keep casting votes and if you have multiple emails use them too...
Less than 300 away from top spot, we can do it!
Go Steem Go!!!

Almost have the top spot now. Just a few hundred from the top and we will take that in a couple of hours. That's when the votes rolled in yesterday.

May be @ned's call for vote created motivation in community???
Definetly helped. Him and a few other whales threw there weigh behind it so a lot of people followed. If you can get the big hitters to push it you can see the difference.

Could you add me please as well?
fantastic you will start on level 2
Great initiative guys!
I wonder if I can be added too.
ohhhh a level 4 participant. welcome to the club...dolphinhood is sooo close
Niceee! Thank you @paulag
I am curious to see my progress
Awesome initiative @steemcommunity and all team members. I am also intrested to join this activity. I shall be thankful to you for this favour if you add me.
lovely, you will be starting on level 1. Power up.
Thanks a lot its my pleasure.
I hope I will be able to join this league very soon. I am just a few SP away from crossing 500 SP. I also have cast my witness vote to @steemcommunity.
can you smell it yet? cant wait to have you over here
Yes, by the end of this week, I'll have over 500 SP because I'll receive payout worth 15 SP and almost same amount of SBD.
oh thanks also for the witness vote
Its my pleasure! You and @ab12345 are doing a great work for this community.
Wow, a lot of people had great weeks. You all must have some secrets that I don't because I was pressed to the max to get where I was. Well done. If anyone wants to share secrets, I wouldn't be mad about it. Ha ha.
Hey, @glenalbrethsen, now you've got two @steemmonsters packs to open. Maybe we will see you on the battlefield. Or at least in the market. ;)
Hey, @themanwithnoname.
Oh, probably more the latter than the former. :) I'm okay with collecting free cards. However, now I'm presented with the same situation I find myself in when I try to determine when to buy STEEM. Is that the highest it's going to be? What's this puppy really worth? Should I just hodl? What if the whole thing falls apart?
See. I don't need to play the game. I can find ways to fully 'entertain' myself as it is. :)
You've got the entertainment worked out already. Good for you. :)
You just have to give them your posting key and you can see what you get from the packs. You'll still be two packs ahead of me. Still haven't gotten any. With the price of Steem so low, it's hard to justify paying that much for cards. If the price of Steem goes up, I may buy better cards. Until then, just powering up. :D
Yeah. I figured out how to get in last week and opened the pack of cards I won then. Now I've got two packs. These are the cards:
So, I've got two fire beetles and two divine healers. I guess most of them are common, but there is one rare and one epic. Whatever any of that is supposed to mean. :)
Good for you!
Well, the dark enchantress is the epic and she's worth around $0.35 right now. The Enchanted pixie is rare and is going for around $1.20 at this moment. The centaur is around $0.75 and the others are all less.
Still, not too bad for your first cards. And you can make a little profit by selling them!
Great to see another busy week here in the league. I'm delighted to see all the progress being made across the board and some huge numbers getting put up.
Sadly I have yet to top the league but that's a great sign of how well people are doing. Congrats to all participants this week and all the new faces just joining.
Thank you @paulag and @steemcommunity for helping us like this and to the sponsors who drive us on with a few prizes. Looking forward to using my steemmonsters cards at some stage, whenever I figure out what. 🤔🤔👍
