Thanks for playing!! Looks like you made some cash just on the comment votes below!
Voting for 4 hours, @ebryans gave a lot of love to charities and friends - A good guy :)
If anyone puts in a qualifying entry - they can have my votes same time tomorrow.
@ebryans is now voting with my voting power - Watch out!
Why do you want whale influence?
@ebryans,
Because there are a few people whom I would like to surprise
One has been thrown out of his house, another has been run over and getting beat up by the authorities, another is really very unwell ... and another one of those too. One has just come out of hospital - she is not well!
None of these people moan, they just soldier on.
Cool idea!
Votes away: Here are some of his choices so far...
Any further entries that qualify will be able to start their whale-time tomorrow around this time (or several hours earlier)
Very good choice, @ebryans supports a lot of people with very little reward.
We are happy to see him steer a whale for a little while :-)
When someone writes something as you did here, all the rubbish melts away. Thank you - really thank you. I do my best and I write with a bit too much passion about the platform at times but it comes from a good place!! I am very grateful for such recognition.
Happy to have him aboard, driving my whale - hehe. I have selected another entry for tomorrow. I followed you and would love to help where I can!
Thank you :-)
In case you did not feel the sincerity of my gratitude!
Keep going!! We have 76% Voting Power still!
I am in a muck sweat! And hoping I dont miss anyone out!!
Take a few hours - no problem. It will shut off when I get to 65% voting power.
I love your choices - I would vote some of these! (Don't forget to upvote all of your own posts and comments!)
Here's how he is doing people!
Do you know what, I have not voted for one thing of my own - I think the guilt gland jumped into action!
Lets just say it was me voting for them. This costs me NOTHING!
It's the same as when you vote for people from your account. Your voting power goes down a bit, and you have to wait for it to recover. Go for it - you have a bit more before it quits!
Doing the same thing tomorrow if my VP% is cured by then :) I need more entries
One thought just occurred to me, whilst I am busily spending your hard earned money, why is my voting power not exhausted? I must have made over 100 votes!
Yes - and you didn't spend any of my money! It's all still there. I think you are about there now...
Guess I lost already. Curation, bet that's a job and half, mum.
I won the whale vote contest - watch out! Good things coming!
Put in an entry. I don't have a second place winner yet. Submit by email.
Just created my account today, still learning how to navigate the Steem.
@htooms, you're like, my hero and stuff...
I won the whale vote contest - watch out! Good things coming!
Cool idea! Followed.
Put in an entry - watch the video, answer, and tell me why you would want whale power! I am letting someone else drive tomorrow! by email though. - can't just put the answers here for everyone to see.
I followed you back! Nice blog - maybe @ebryans will upvote it for me :)
Thanks for the follow and your kind words! I just sent in my entry! :)
This is brilliant! (And I'm not just saying that to get a vote!)
What power you must feel!
Have fun with it.
You should put in an entry - Tomorrow somebody else is driving my voting power.
I was just looking at that.
That was a cool action.. :)
Now that is ONE TRUE FRIENDLY WHALE
htooms, I don't quality for this one without time, but love your idea for this content, an awesome way to engage people with your whale power. Nice one, and certainly following you, thanks!
If it weren't for your site, I would not be able to do this! Thank you!
I already have a qualifying entry for tomorrow. I was planning to donate to you for your program, but you could have Wednesday night instead of a donation (get your voting power up between now and then).
thanks htooms, that's great to know you are using my Autosteem to run this, as its a very cool thing you are doing. My nights are packed lately, so not much time in steemit right now, so while I'd love to pick up some vote power, I know I won't quite have time just yet. Lots of programming projects to keep up with, haha!
I love what your doing and your contributions to the steem network. I followed you since you posted the article about becoming a while in a week
Followed and upvoted - everyone is so great!
This is a FANTASTIC idea! It's helpful, engaging and exciting on so many levels! I absolutely love it. Thanks for doing this!
[It's ok that I'm disqualified...there are better people to win this than me. Lol.]
I am really set undoing some of the bad feelings the big guys have created. Yesterday's post went to 70 and I woke up to 3 flags - down to $30. No problem on my end. I am just going to lighten the mood and make steem fun again. (to wear out a phrase).
I do understand, it's a tricky time on here. But I love your approach to things. While will admit I really love having my vote actually mean something, the flagging really needs to stop.
I'd personally sacrifice every feature in HF17 to instead have the rewards curve worked on or even the ideas of an investors class. (Well, I really want the unlimited comment nesting...lol) My biggest fear that would go with this would be botnets gaining any sort of meaningful influence.
This reminds me of one of my favorite sayings, "Building a perfect society would be so much easier if it didn't require people." The same thing can be applied to dating. Lol
We need to get you on our @steemittalk podcast sometime if it's something you'd enjoy. I figure it'd make for some great conversations for people to listen to.
I was looking forward to HF17 giving us "delegation of voting power" (which is what inspired me for this contest). Yours is the second offer for a podcast. Hit me in steemspeak. or email - listed on my contest post - this one right? (tired)
I can understand the desire for the delegated voting. That is another really helpful one that I doubt there was much disagreement on (I'm guessing here.) I did wish the person 'giving' their power got a portion of the curation..just cause I can't expect all people to be altruistic indefinitely.
Ha, I bet it was VOTU (Voice of the Underground)! I love those guys too. I try to join their recording when I can.
Np, i've gotta head to bed too having work in the morning. I'll get in touch tomorrow with ya. It's no rush. :)
Have good sleeps!
Nicely done @htooms - Very nicely done. I would sure love to see some of the other whales interact with the community in such a positive way.
Excellent idea!
Woohoo!! I'm out!!
For the same reason I called bs on the guilds when they got going, the same reason I am now downvoting sp delegation, I don't want to rob from everybody to give to somebody.
I do admit that free speech was higher on my list than reward pool draining when I called out the guilds, but your contest takes that into consideration, whereas the guilds told me upfront that nothing controversial was going to be heard from them.
I hope the community continues to inspire you as @ebryans has, we got some good ones here.
He @freebornangel. Yes, my contest actaully allows winners to use 50% of my power which would not trigger rewards high enough to warrant a flag. Makes no sense to give a large quantity to someone - then have smooth take it back just before payout.
I for one rarely use more than 15% on any post.
What are the mechanics of this delegation?
Why are they pushing delegation in the hf17 if they already got it?
Hey - this is a website utility for browsing Steemit - blogview - pictureview - upvote queue - etc. Made by @unipsycho <---great job.
https://autosteem.learnthis.ca/
You are the gift that just keeps on giving, I'ma spend some time figuring out my parameters,....thank you!!
nice I'm still scared of bot curation and trails, it just doesn't fit my style, I'm half AI anyway :D btw would you like a 3D avatar, it would be pretty much the same, but I can maybe make it more easy to spot, anyways cheers for being the first to do a smart delegation and give to people who deserve it, other whales we more easy-going and the guilds got them(mostly good, but sometimes :| ) :D you whale-people basically make money by giving others money which is a strange concept :D
It didn't look like I could customize vote weight by author, just as a list.
Am I mistaken?
It looks as though it's just by the list.
I was hoping to replace my steemvoter, but I guess it only runs while the tab is open?
What a great idea! I love what you're doing with your newly obtained power! You're bringing a lot of positivity into the community with actions like this :-)
Sweetness!
That's the way to do it! Smart, thanks for doing it, I congratulate you for the idea dear Sir!
What a splendid idea! I am going to watch this video as soon as i can get away with in work and fling the answers hopefully your way!
Things like this are really such a fun thing to have going on. People love fun!
Hey - I just followed you! You are doing great work for the community and crypto. Thanks.
Well thank you very much, i am trying my best. Followed you back. I love your contest!!
Great initiative! You are truly a friend of our community. However, I thought you mean with the roof lol
Very fun idea !
You just got another unsmooth@htooms follower. I need beach time! The restaurants near the shoreline are somehow, just always better.
This is so cool and I'm glad @ebryans won! He is such a great and helpful person! Congratulations @htooms you have done a great choice! All the best!
so you practically delegated your steem power :)
What's the use of hard forks when we can pretty much do anything :D
Thanks for stopping by. I found another great blogger to follow. You got a vote on your Character Modeling Contest. Cheers!
:) hugs and kisses :) :D Cheers mate, thank you I will be posting a lot, at least for me 2 posts are a lot :D
I won the whale vote contest - watch out! Good things coming!
Spending other people's money does come with a trace of guilt but I am sending it to good homes!!
