Thanks Asher :)

I'm going to get myself another 50 quid's worth of Steem once my coinbase allowance recharges fully, so I'll be 500+ very soon. Just a number, but it does coincide with a phase of feeling at ease with everything blockchain related - 8 months, guess that was how long it took me to begin to be free-flowing and comfy.

PS. love the support you're getting for Krakow, but in general too! As you see, it's not drama, simply how folk feel, and this feeling is strong enough to give expression to when the excuse to do so is provided. No drama anywhere, just radiating good vibes zooming in on the Number One Numbers Man lol.

You are not far from 500 SP at all - that last 100 has moved quickly or did I get my sums wrong? :D

I've had some really great messages on Smooth's post, and marly has just put one out today. I need to do a video for that contest :(

Thank you for your support too!

Well, It's been moving quite quickly since June, when I figured out how to convert £ to Steem. I also had around 100 Steem sitting which I had bought for a friend, but I wanted to make sure he had his p/w before transferring lol.

I saw Marly's vid, which is where the 'Numbers Man' came from :) ..... she also make a rather astute observation on the photo of yours, where you have all but cut yourself out of the frame! It's all part of that other 'sub' conversation re being self-effacing.

You are warmly welcome Asher, and I thank you for yours!

Yes she did make that observation 😊

There's no hiding from the video for openmic and a Steemfest ticket though, warts and all for this one, including mosquitoes, and tile splitting in the background.

Cheers @barge, 500 club coming soon - I see @curie have stopped by 😎

Hey Asher, just watched your vid. I noticed you swipe the mosquitoes although I didn't spot the tile-splitting (I had mis-read 'spitting' and was expecting a human being lol). As for the 'warts', didn''t see them - instead saw a 'very nice guy' who expressed himself courageously through his diffidence in self-presentation :) - the content excellent and relevant and pretty much to the point (no rambling). Suggestion for 'next such video' - rehearse it in front of the mirror first. This way you can spot were you are getting in your own way ie reducing the impact of what you are saying through lack of confidence in self, kinda thing - are these the warts you speak of I wonder!

Another thought I wanted to convey to you was the possible self-doubting impression you may have occasionally had that people are only interested in (or state their appreciation for) what you can do for them ie that you are useful, full stop. I'm fairly confident that you may have had such thoughts Asher, although do forgive me for speculating like this about your subjective state :) ..... anyways, I hope that the recent flood of support for you clearly shows that this is not the case!

And, that's me in the 500 club now, just got another 64 SP for £50. I did a little ho-hoo in celebration, and now that's that lol. Thanks so much for your support and delegation - although it didn't take me long to assist the process of getting to 500 by converting fiat, the delegation has given me a real boost and motivation - and confidence too :).....I've now got a slider (although I use Steempeak anyway :) and think I'm now part of that 1% that Taraz pointed out in a post some time back.

And the few Curie votes I have received over time is another real boost, a vindication of my whacky self-expression :D

Hey Asher I've delegates 25 to UA and I see that is been deducted from the amt you delegated to me. .It doesn't feel right to profit like this and it isn't really in the pif spirit in which you delegated to me. Since I also now have a slider lol - which the del was intended to help me to, I happily can acknowledge completion. I think you had mentioned end sep as expiry date anyway.

This has been a boost Asher in more intangible ways than numbers, thank you very much my friend :-D

How many times on average do you post each week?

UA is the first distribution of stake in 2.5 years here bar selfless acts of the fulltimegeek and few others.

Give me a number of posts you can put
our each week, I'll tell you what to delegate, and make sure you are over 500 SP following that.

250 = 7 posts
100 = 4

Cheers!

Ummm, kinda depends but maybe 1-2 per week. It's less when I'm feeling down as I do not force myself to create content and when I find myself doing so, I stop immediately - it's like a feeling in my stomach and I have to listen to it. I'm going to keep buying £100-150 SP/month whilst the price is around £1 per steem or less, don't really care about maximising - it's a long game. I'd love to be able to blog for a living, but atm that is not an option. I do believe this will change some time in 2019 (when the Steem engine picks up speed) and I look forward to the day. I'll probably up my del to UA soon and should also soon have enough SP to be able to do that an still have 500+ to vote with. Currently the delegation comes out of what you delegated me, and this makes me feel as if you are paying for my UA upvotes, which is why I'm suggesting that you undelegate (plus the fact that I'm >500 now).
Thanks Asher :)
