Making 250 new Minnows in a Month - Massive shout out to Power UP league Members

in #dtube6 years ago (edited)


Hay everyone its @paulag here from Steem and welcome to my Dtube video

Today I have a very important message to spread about a massive, month long event that I am working on with a team of awesome people. Over the next month we are going to try and make 250 new minnows. This is a massive task and we have started to look at all accounts with between 425sp and 500sp to see who can we boost over the line with votes on their posts and encourage liquid STEEM holders to power up.

I did some initial workings and we need to give around 6K SP worth of votes to a target list of accounts within a month to get about 190 accounts over the line, and we need to convince around 60 liquid STEEM holders to power up.

The coordination of this is massive. The team are contacting people directly on the blockchain that are eligible to become minnows asking them to do an opt-in post confirming they wish to hold minnow status and will be powering up all post earning during this event.

So, this is a shout out to all the graduates of the redfish power up league and the minnow power up leagues. That’s around 80 accounts and I do apologise for the massive tag (which I will put in the comments so not to take up the body of the post), but the coordination of all this is so big, I don’t have the time to reach out to you all individually. I need you to please, consider supporting this project. Help us make 250 new minnows in a month.

You have all been there, you know what it’s like to try and grow and how cool it is to finally become a minnow. So, I have made things really easy for you to support this with votes. We have set up both a guild and a trial. for those that use Steemvoter, the guild name is tenkminnows. That’s tenkminnows one word. You can join the guild and set your voting power and you can also see the accounts we are curating, or on Steemauto we have set up a trail also tenkminnows which you can follow. I will put a link below this video for more on that. If you don’t want to follow with votes, you can delegate and we are only looking for delegation for 1 month, for the duration of this event. so If you wanted to delegate to this month long event, please delegate to the account tenkminnows , that’s tenkminnows
https://beta.steemvoter.com/explore/guild/tenkminnows
delegate to @tenkminnows

Tenkminnows is an initiative started by @steevc with the aim of Steem having 10K accounts holding between 500 SP and 5000 SP by the end of 2019. We are kickstarting TenKminnows with a push to create 250 New minnows in a month.

There have been 3 opt in posts made by candidates, as these have been the first, I hope that you will show them some Steem love and support and give them an upvote to boost their opt in. I will put links below the video to each of these post.

Later today @pennsif’s 60 min of Steem starts at 8pm GMT. Myself and @steevc will be on the show to talk more about this and to answer your questions

So that’s about it really, busy time, an amazing event, and I hope I can count on you for support and that you will follow the guild or trail or delegate now before you forget – let’s make 250 new minnows in a month. Thanks for watching, good bye now.

As you have requested @paulag, I have followed the @tenkminnows curation trail on SteemAuto, in support of your initiative with @steevc.

Hot dog, high five. thank you very much

I will be joining the curation trail.

I also delegated 100 SP to the account let's reach this goal

Posted using Partiko iOS

nice, thank you very much.
On a side note, on partiko when I go to my points page, it tells me you are just above me in the leaderboard :-) Im comming to get ya lol

No apologies needed! This is a great effort!

Okay, let's do this!

100% upvotes for the three candidates on your post, I followed the curation trail and delegated 100SP to tenkminnows.

When you say one month for the delegation, until when is that one month? I am asking because the tenkminnows trail description has "... target 250 new minnows in March 19" and we have barely a week to go for March 19.

Steemvoter keeps going in circles and is not loading. Do you have a list of the candidates somewhere else? I think it will somehow be good for us sponsors to see all the candidates whom we are supporting.

high five for the votes, you rock. Hope to publish a full list of those that opted in today or tomorrow :-)

For the people like me that want to help, are you all planning a weekly post so I know who to give a vote for on the days I can? I caught the three above already, but am unsure who else is on the "watch/grow" list.

I too vote for a curation post - I've never done a vote trail autovote thing.

yes, we plan to make this as easy as possible for people to follow. We will have curation type posts, both from the team leaders and probably a master one too. but would you believe the opt in is rather slow. so far only 1 more opted in https://steemit.com/tenkminnows/@src3/initiative-supporting-people-to-reach-minnow-status-f1ncxdgd

Hopefully as the word spreads more will want to participate. It's not like they have to vote on anything, just make a post for us to vote on.

50 sp delegated ;)

50 sp delegated ;)

high 5 and thank you

How can I help?

Hay @torrey.blog, u could follow tenkminnows on steemvoter or the guild on steem auto. U could also delegate to @tenkminnows. Its only for a month while we make a big push to create 250 new minnows.

Posted using Partiko Android

Done! I just delegated 100SP to @tenkminnows

Posted using Partiko iOS

awesome you are amazing, its only for a month, then you can take it back, thank you sooo much.

Happy to help!

Have fun on state of STEEM!

Posted using Partiko iOS

This is a great idea. Currently I can not follow the trail. I will find a way to help them.

Fab, even if u could vote on the post above and keep an eye out for the curation post my self or the team will be putting out

Posted using Partiko Android

Upvoted your post and I delegated 50 SP to @tenkminnows.

awesome - thank you so much

Done...

Each got a follow and a penny in the jar!

high five and thank you

Hey, if any of these people are between 450-500, talk to @abh12345 about his feeding redfish initiative!

I did see asher has a post out that I didnt get to look at yet, weekends I stay offline satudays and most of sunday :-) catching up now. thanks for the heads up

Oh shit sorry, I had the wong person in my head! I should not Steem on too little sleep. It's from @hitmeasap, and it's not recent, we haven't had a minnow push in a while because it was difficult finding people in that 450-500 sp range.

lol lmfao.

Yes finding people in that range is hard, ones that are still active anyway. we found over 300 that have been active since christmas but would you believe many of them hold enough liquid to power up and become minnows

Yeah there was a lot of that, too. Or they were powering down.

Posted using Partiko Android

yep, there are more minnows powering down to redfish than there are redfish powering up to minnows. its a problem

Awesome! I have been worried it would be difficult to track these accounts but I will join the SteemAuto when I get home tonight! It will be my first time doing so but I am happy to help with this initiative! Not sure of you saw a previous comment on @steemcommunity post but I would also like to give some SBI for participants. It may be best to do so early to help but not sure how to deploy it but willing to hear suggestions. I am not sure if I will be able to join the radio show today but we can touchbase.

Posted using Partiko iOS

thats fantastic support thank you. As for the SBI units, the 3 candidates above are good to go :-)

I love this initiative. This is one to get behind for sure.

great stuff @adetorrent, thank you for your support, I hope you will follow the trail or guild and help reward these accounts to get them over the line.

Awesome stuff! Love it!

fab, I hope that you will follow the trail or guild and help reward these accounts to get them over the line.

Absolutely. @jeffjagoe has helped me so much as I am starting that I will be happy to pay it forward!

Magic Dice has rewarded your post with a 71% upvote. Thanks for playing Magic Dice.

Thanks for the mention :)
Let's Steem all together!

Posted using Partiko Android

you are welcome, I hope that you will also follow the trail or guild and help reward these accounts to get them over the line, there will be many more added to this and if we can all support each other it will be much easier

Happy to help! I’m on the fly now but will read carefully later and do whatever needed to assist.

thanks @jayna, all support is welcome

This is looking exciting. Great initiative @paulag and am sure it be successful.

Does this mean that the maximum number of accounts voted with the trail will be 250 per day for the month? People need to be clear on this for how they set up their VP on the trail. I watch my votes very carefully so that I don't exceed my 10 votes per day in order to maximize the benefit of my votes to those who receive them.

I dont think it will get that high. but yes, we should be clear. Right now there is only 4 on it, its opt in and would you believe people are not opting in very fast. at most there could be 150 votes in a day, but that would not be till week 3 or 4. I think for the next week or so it will be less than 20 for sure.

In that case, I will vote manually so I can maximize each vote. Thanks for the clarification.

As for the lack of enthusiasm for opting in: I think a lot of people are either so busy writing stuff that they don't read or they have become discouraged with the platform and don't pay that much attention to it any more. I seem to have lost a few of my regular gamers as well in the past few weeks.

Hopefully the recovery of Steem value brings them back. I see the price is slowly creeping up. I just hope the funding of new initiatives doesn't drive the final nails into Steem's coffin before we get a resurgence of interest. This seems to be the wrong time to be looking at taking more out of the reward pool in order to fund new projects. It is a fine line trying to inspire creativity and keep the masses happy at the same time. Hopefully Steemit Inc. isn't too late in accepting outside help to move the platform forward.

I will look into this later as today is fill of appointments. I will get with you later for the best way to support

thank you @wolfhard and hay, nice power ups this week

I hope there is still time to reach the exclusive Dolphin level. Working hard on it. Have to use fiat to achieve that level.

Its hard and has to be harder for redfish now with the RC. We had it hard but not like now. IMHO

I'm loving all the support this is getting. The community wants it to happen. I've also delegated to @tenkminnows.

@paulag would you take a look and see if my friend @redheadpei qualifies for a boost? She is a great Engager!

hot dog yes. i will leave a message now for them :-)

Another who appears to qualify is my friend @nelinoeva. I'd love to see her get a boost!

And @pardinus could use a boost, too!

. All three of these are active engagers who just won prizes today in my engagement contest!

Thank you Melinda, this is so kind of you!

I would love to see you become a minnow this month! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you qualify for a boost!

great stuff @melinda010100, I have left a comment for both

Thank you so much! Will check this!

Am I right in thinking they need to be between 400 and 500 sp?

yes, I sent you a dm on discord the other day, do you venture on their often?

Hmmm. I didn't see it, and just looked again and still didn't find it. I do go over there once a day for some curation that I do for eSteem, and I was there today to listen to Pensiff.... Good job, by the way!

And another friend who could use a boost toward minnowhood is @deerjay

fab. got it and left them a comment

and one more...@dronegraphica

got it, great thanks

I may not spend much time in the Discord group.. For obvious reasons, I prefer to do my typing here. But what is the guild you referred to? I'm busy with Shadow Contest things today, but will attempt to get to 10k efforts later on.

Thank you @paulag!

Hallo mrs @paulag, would you take a look and see if my account @nureza qualifies for a boost?

Posted using Partiko Android

hi @nureza, if you could try boost your account to 400 sp, but until then we do not have enough resources to boost an account from your level.

Such a wonderful Initiative @paulag to get Steem and the ecosystem growing. Look forward to seeing many more new minnows and dolphins as well :)

Congratulations @paulag!

Awesome idea @paulag. Let's give Steemit a good kick in the butt and get things going.

high five, lets do this :-)

is this opportunity opened for Every quality content author?

we dont have the ability to open end this. at the moment we are looking at accounts with 425+ sp and we are relying on sponsors to help get these accounts over the line, sponsors wont sponsor everything and everyone

This post has been included in the latest edition of SoS Daily News - a digest of all the latest news on the Steem blockchain.

hi for movie trailer subscribe my channel. thanks

I know I'm a little late here, but kept this on my screen so I'd remember to eventually deal with it.
I have done for @tenkminnows:
put it on autovoter
joined the curation trail
delegated 50 SP.
Awesome initiative - I wish for its success!

yeppee thank you so much for this support :-)
