Hey @mudcat36, I am going to be putting a couple dollars on a voting bot to upvote this post and sweeten the pot for the winner a bit. Can you let the other founders know so they can contribute (send me some SBD with a memo saying what it is for) if they want.
I will be grabbing the ad(s) at about 7PM CST (US) tonight, which is right about when the post turns 24 hours old. I have been experimenting with the voting bots for a couple weeks now and have a pretty good idea of which ones to use for the best return.
Sidenote: I had replied to a comment on one of the previous posts about becoming a founder and didn't get a reply, so if you do see this - I would like to jump on board as a founder. I was talking with @davemccoy about it the other day and he said to contact you.
Thanks,
Gene
@randomwanderings I am willing to donate 3 sbd to get the pot up for this design contest.
Awesome @charisma!!! That is simply an amazing thing to do! You are supporting #newbieresteemday, the artists making a logo, @randomwanderings, and most of all the newbies that are getting closer to getting a program in place to keep them energized... I hope @suesa and @surpassinggoogle are watching all the great things that are happening organically here. They would realize that they have help coming in the future from such awesome people as you! Its also motivating to them when they realize it ;)
Cheers
ps...You are still my favorite (just don't tell anyone) ;)
Well thank you, I only do the things my heart tells me to do, I feel we have to put in on the things we believe in and helping others is always a great start no matter the mission! You had me LOL on that last comment...You are definitely one of my favorite people on steemit for sure!
I see what you are doing and keep it up... sometimes I don't have the time to get to everything, but I do notice your talents, time, and heart. Thank you again, charisma777 :)
I understand the time and effort you are putting into the platform as a whole and I am with you guys 100% can't wait to see what you come up with next!!! You are a smart and talented young man and I appreciate all you have helped me with along the way, even if it is just showing me that its ok to talk to strangers lol hope you have an awesome day @davemccoy
lol... I just saw this comment... funny lol... it is ok to talk to strangers hahahaha....
I was thinking that you and mudcat36 might want to connect as you both have been taking the lead on the contest. i know there have been even more submissions and not sure what we do next. Since I'm the master at finding ways for others to work, I'm wondering if you and mudcats36 got this one? (lol) just kidding...
Seriously I'm just not sure what the plan is and I respect the 2 of you to decide how next to proceed.
Hope all is well too, I haven't seen you around in a few days and I like seeing that smiling face every so often! :)
don't make me disqualify you for constant mention spam :P
You made the mistake of letting me know how to get a hold of you. lol... ok I will stop though, I can see you are paying attention. Really there are lots of amazing and wonderful people working together (including you just by watching) ;)
I promise I will only tag you again if it is of utmost importance (and I already tagged you in mudcats36 below so don't put me in the penalty box for that one) ;)
now that the contest is over is it ok if I bug you again? I've been good :)
Seriously I don't want to bug you, but I also like you to see the amazing things that I see (just in case you want to help any of the amazing people I come across). I will of course respect whatever you wish, because I realize that people can only hear so much before they "tune" in out. So I know excited young newbies can be a little "loud".
So let me know how much I am allowed to contact you and I will honor and respect those wishes. And thank you for having that contest, it was very motivating just to have you come look at what we are doing. That was a prize that was worth far more than the SP you were "delegating"...
I'm serous about that too, it came at the right point in time to push us to move to the next level quickly.
Its nice to meet a genuinely nice person that is out to help people. Take care and let me know if I have your permission to tag you again. :)
Just write me a message on discord. It's so much easier
ok that works, I'll add you. What is your name there (ie mine is davemccoy#2479)
I am about to post about it now.
Thanks @charisma777 . I will be geting the bots a at about 8PM Central US time tonight... so about five and a half hours from the time of this reply. It may vary slightly based on the timing that the bots that I prefer will be voting. They vote approximately every two and a half hours.
You can send over the 3SBD whenever you are ready, but before then please.
Thank you so much @charisma777! That is incredibly kind.
Gene, you're in.. things have been moving so fast its hard to keep up lol... I know @mudcat36 is swamped too, but trust me we are very happy to have you on board.
As to your offer that is terrific and a great thing to do... I also will be hitting the post with an upvote of my own. I think its great that you are coordinating with others like @charisma777 and that's what we need right now is people to take initiative and work together in a decentralized fashion. If you want to do a post about what you are doing for this contest, I think that would also be a good thing to do... The reason I say that is 1) you will expose the contest to more people 2) you will expand the number of people who even know what you are planning to do and 3) people with a big mouth like me can resteem and point to it to get you some more traction.
Let me know if you put a post up (and tell me in several comments to me, because honestly I"m so swamped right now and I don't want to miss it)
Hi, and sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner. I would be happy to have you on board so welcome. Thank you so much for joining the initiative and look forward to any help and insight you bring to the table. There is an exciting role for founders in the offing so those who join us early have very important and potentially rewarding roles to fulfill if our initiative takes off. Hopefully everyone benefits here, from the newbie to the experienced Steemer and we succeed in creating a self sustaining ecosystem of support that strengthens the steemit platform as a whole.
