@Papa-pepper is invested in the steemit community and doesn't mind showing it!
It seems that a lot of people were unaware that these 1500 STEEM "COMMUNITY" Silver rounds were being printed. I meant to do a promo post my self about them, but failed to do so before they sold out. Now, the price of obtaining one is skyrocketing, and a lot of key people in the community completely missed out.
Originally, I pre-ordered only 20, and then I doubled it. For just over $20 each, I was able to pick some up... then. Out of my original 40, I had intended to keep 30 for myself, 5 for each of the @little-peppers, and I had reserved 5 to use in giveaways.
When I recently saw that some people were still selling some of theirs for less than $50 each (I think that price will skyrocket soon) I contacted @raybrockman and purchased 10 of his for 45 SBD each.
Here are the 10 that @raybrockman is sending me, although I may mix up the numbers for the distribution a bit. I already have some in the 700s and 800s, so I may keep a few of these lower ones. These should arrive for me tomorrow.
WHY DID I ORDER 10 MORE?
The reason that I ordered 10 more is simple. I love the steemit community and wanted to help put this limited historical silver round into the hands of more steemians. I am working on obtaining more, but I wanted to offer up these 10 -free of charge- to some community members that I have appreciated in my time here.
While I know that any new minnow would also be extremely excited about getting one of these, I have focused on some community members who have been here for a long time. As you will see from my list, some of these are well known and high profile characters, and I'm sure that this incredible piece of steemit history will be a blessing to them.
You will notice some whales on the list, but this post is in no way a solicitation for votes. You guys should know that is not my style. I am offering these free of charge and without expectation.
10 SILVER ROUNDS FOR 10 STEEMIANS
I am working on getting some more to give away, and still have 5 more to distribute, but these are the first ten that I will be giving away. If your name is on this list and you are interested, just let me know and I'll ship one to you. If you already have obtained one, please let me know and I will distribute it elsewhere.
1 - @dantheman
This one should be obvious. By creating steemit this man ha forever changed my life. However, he is busy and always working on things, so he may have missed that this silver round was even minted. Since there will only ever be 1500 of these ever made, I wanted to make sure that he could get his hands on one if he wanted to. If anyone actually talks to him, please let him know and I'll ship his to him. Even if I do not here back from @dantheman, I will always keep one reserved for him until I do. Thanks for everything man! You have forever changed the world!
2 - @ned
Even after @dantheman "moved on from steemit" @ned has continued to lead the way. With amazing ideas like the SMTs, steemit is sure to continue to be setting the best example out there and paving the way.
We sincerely appreciate your hard work and efforts, and I would be blessed to provide you with one of these silver rounds if you are interested.
3 - @andrarchy
As the Community Liaison for Steemit, @andrarchy has been up to a lot to help our community. I first interacted with him around the time that we made this video.
Since I appreciate what he is, and has been, up to I wanted to make sure that he got one if he wanted it.
4 - @kus-knee
If you don't already follow "the Old Dog," you sure. In some ways, he's a lot like me and is a caring, generous steemian who puts real effort into making steemit all that it can be. Moreover, he's the one who started the Steemit Trading Card initiative, and even chose me for the first one!
Soon I will be able to hold that card in my hand, just like these silver rounds! Anyway, I did not want to forget about @kus-knee if I was giving free STEEM "COMMUNITY" silver rounds away.
5 - @mericanhomestead
Though my wife had watched of few of their YouTube videos, I didn't really know about @mericanhomestead until they joined steemit. Once I realized that they lived close by, we soon met up and had some fun, including making this video together.
We've hung out a few times already, and a lot of the growth in the homesteading community I will personally claim is due to all of the promotion of steemit that @mericanhomestead has done on their YouTube channel. Not sure if they stack Silver or not, but either way, this will be a great round to have!
6 - @pharesim
@pharesim is one of the "original whales" of this community in my opinion. When I first joined steemit, he gave me a lot of encouraging support, and without his upvotes, I can honestly say that I am not sure if I would have stuck around. I had only really lived my life offline prior to steemit, and could have just as easily continued.
Since there is a good chance that @papa-pepper would not be here today without @pharesim's support early on, I wanted to offer up one of these rounds as a small token of my forever gratefulness.
7 - @smooth
@smooth is another one of the "original whales" that I wanted to gift one of these to if I could. Early on in steemit, it was the whales that made things really interesting. I remember all sorts of posts where people would share about when whales were active and things like that, so that people could make their posts at the times, or even in the categories, that whales were most likely to be upvoting. There was a time when they made the difference between a few cents and a few hundred dollars in potential post payout.
@smooth was also one of the key community members who helped changed steemit to be more minnow and dolphin friendly by reducing the influence of whale votes to allow our voting power to mean more. In my entire history on steemit my vote had never been worth more than a cent until @smooth and @abit started their "experiment." At the moment, @smooth is even delegating over 400,000 SP to other members of the community! While I've only interacted with @smooth a few times, I wanted to offer this piece of steemit history up to @smooth for a keepsake.
8 - @xtrodinarypilot
While I knew about this guy for a while, we never interacted too much, until we showed up at his house, on very short notice, twice. Yes, and not only were we allowed to enter, his family graciously allowed us to spend the night twice and even gave us the master bedroom. We even had some great adventures together, like eating hornet larva.
To make matters even better, he sent us some hot sauce on his steemit road trip and his lovely wife, @xtdnrymompreneur, even painted a family portrait of the "Peppers" based off of the design that @rigaronib made for the @little-peppers account.
To say that offering @xtrodinarypilot a silver round is the "least I could" would be horribly inaccurate. I could do a lot less!
9 - @blocktrades
This is another original whale that has been invested in this community for a long time. Without early whales investing in steemit it would have had a much harder time growing. Lately, @blocktrades has taken a special interest in the homesteading community, which has been a huge blessing to many steemians that I know. To see an account like @blocktrades not powering down and delegating over 800,000 SP to other members of the community demonstrates that the support that @blocktrades offers this community has not diminished. Thank you, and let me know if you would like one of these silver rounds.
10 - @sirlunchthehost
Yes, name number 10, and unless you are @sirlunchthehost, this name is not your name. Interestingly enough, while typing up this post I just secured 10 more of these extremely limited STEEM "COMMUNITY" Silver rounds from the man with an idea himself, @sevinwilson! That means that even after these 10, I will still have 15 more to give away!
Anyway, back to "Lunchbox." A long time back, @sirlunchthehost found inspiration in @papa-pepper, and we have been interacting for many months here on steemit. Soon, I hear that he is even heading my way, so I thought that having one of these in hand for him would be added incentive! LOL.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I HATE THIS!
Much like choosing "winners" in a contest, of which I run many, this is hard work. If I had an unlimited supply of these, you would all get one! However, these are very limited and they are getting much harder to obtain. They are also rapidly increasing in value. Soon, they may be worth more than BTC... I said may.
Anyway, 10 should show up from @raybrockman tomorrow and 10 more should be shipped to @papa-pepper from @sevinwilson in the very near future. Unless I die first, I will ship out 15 more of these to other steemians in the near future. All 25 of my "giveaway" "COMMUNITY" rounds will be sent free of charge and without shipping and handling charges too!
Stay tuned, as I have a few more names on my list to be included in the next giveaway and I have a few contest ideas too! Though not everyone will ever be able to own one of these, at least more steemians can have their own piece of steemit history because of giveaways like this. STEEM on my steemians!
ATTENTION: If your name was listed above, please contact me privately with a valid shipping address and I will do my very best to ship your silver round soon. If you would like a specific number, I can share the numbers that I have available to choose from soon. Also, if you already have obtained a STEEM "COMMUNITY" Silver Round from elsewhere, please pass on my offer to allow someone else the opportunity. Thank you.
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:
proof-I-have-10-ready-to-ship
Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
Very generous papa! Note that @ned got one already :) https://steemit.com/ned/@goldmatters/ned-scott-ceo-and-founder-of-steemit-meets-silversteemcoin-goldmatters
Nice job beating me to it, and the hand delivering was a bonus!
Such a kind and selfless act. @papa-pepper you will go down in history as one of the greatest steemians of all time. A true community builder.
LOL - Thanks man, but we don't know I don't do it to pretend that I am great!
LOL
hahaha spoken like a true great!
LOL - Did you get your hands on one of these yet? I was making another list... just saying...
No I never even hear about them until I was perusing your posts!
I am very impressed and this is something I would TRULY cherish!
I can't believe I didn't make your list.
I know where you collect your mail.
Watch your back punk!
🤤
That's pretty awesome man!
I actually bought one from @raybrockman also, mine should arrive today or tomorrow.
Really? Haven't I done enough for you already? LOL
I saw your conversation with @raybrockman too! Enjoy the silver!
More than one person has argued that silver is the most undervalued asset on the planet. 😎
Hard to argue against a 5,000+ year track record.
Wow! Incredibly generous of you @papa-pepper. I'm pretty sure I bought the largest amount of the coins (192) and while I expect to make a nice profit, I also want to find a way to get a couple into the hands of serious Steemians who somehow missed this opportunity.
Well, people certainly want them! That's for sure!
These shiny coins are real beauties!
Wel done and congratz to the lucky winners!
Yes they are, really beautiful and amazing!
I love the Steemit coin and I'm blown away by your generous gift. Thanks so so much!
@kus-knee - 0812/1500
My two favourite numbers. How did u know @papa-pepper? How DID you know?
I am so glad you are getting one of the coins! You DEFINITELY deserve it with all of your valued contributions here! Thanks for doing this @papa-pepper!!
Congrats Old Dog! You deserve it!!
Yeah i totally missed out on these and didn't even know they were available! AH!! And yes...boy yes do I STACK! I never saw a piece of silver I didn't like.
If these ever become available again, I want in!
Congrats brother. Can't wait to take a look at it when you get it.
I have some of mine for sale if you are interested!! I wrote a post here about it!!
I have been saying since day 1 , @papa-pepper is a cool dude, what an awesome thing to do. These things did not come your way cheap. Very awesome my man. You will be blessed for paying forward..
Trust me, after all that the steemit community has done for me, sending 450 SBD your way to give these away pales in comparison.
Thanks for helping out!
Great one from you....glad to see @xtrodinarypilot on the list. Hope i will get one some day😁😁
What a lovely gesture @papa-pepper you truly have an amazing heart and are such an asset to Steemit that many adore and look up to, Congratulations and very well done. People like you really are changing the world, one heart at a time, kudo's Cheer$:)
I appreciate that! Thank you!
I really like Steemit coins and I was amazed to see it and with you supporting me on steemit, I say Many Thanks for you @papa-pepper.
Upvoted even though my vote is worth so little now. Maybe I'll get one of those coins in the future just to have a token to remind me of this community when I'll get old and unable to type :P
Thank you!
So cool that you are doing this!! And thank you for the steemit history lesson!! Great to understand more about this platform and great to know that the community spirit you have is shared by others!
It has been a long strange trip for sure!
This is exactly what I had in mind. Is there anyway to still get them? :-)

Very nice @papa-pepper!
That's cool dude 😎
You are a really good person @papa-pepper, do not worry about it, making giveaways is the most fair way you can do.
I will try to participate in one because I want one of those ROUNDS
I hope that you do well in the contest.
You are always giving out something @papa-pepper😀😀😀steemit coin... Niceeeee
I am willing to invest 50 sbd for 1 of these... but don't send it to me, keep it with you ...when price skyrockets you would kindly send me the exchange in steems.. :)
That is an interesting offer!
;}...am trying to get a bite of it :P

STOPWell done ! A very generous gift indeed
Thank you.
Those coins look awesome! Great initiative!
Did you get one yet?..... I am making another list you know!
I didn't got one. I never owned any silver coin actually. Well if there's another list and you happen to think about me at that time this will be a nice surprise.
Have a nice journey on Earth papa-pepper! Nice family picture by the way and never stop making it rain!
Awesome initiative and very generous of you!
Plenty of good people on that list! I must say :D
@shayne
I agree!
Nice gesture, you seem to have a big heart.
Christel
I was away and missed out on the purchase. Sob. As I now see how popular these became, I would have put a limit on how many each could buy. But I know it is difficult to predict how these would sell and the minter would like to make sure he/she was not losing $$$. But congrats to those getting these from @papa-pepper!
That's wicked cool of you @papa-pepper! Some amazing names on this list. I hope they are all able to partake in your generosity if they do not already have these coins. I almost pulled the trigger on buying one, but I only wanted one, and the shipping cost just didn't make sense. I regret that decision now as they look even more amazing than the sales mock up. I guess I will be keeping an eye on your contests!!!
Keep being awesome!
Contact me via Steemit.chat (@sevinwilson) if you have it! I have some for sale if you still want some!
One of the many reasons why #steemsilvergold is one of the greatest communities to be involved with. Thank you for being so generous
You would be one to talk! LOL
Didn't you recently win a 10g Gold cube?
There’s another of those giveaways going on right now ... just sayin
No twitter account, so I can't retweet, no friends, so I can't tag a friend.
Oh man, no friends? I thought I was your friend! I dont suppose you have instagram? Either way, I might be able to get you a t shirt if you are interested :)
Got to be in it to win it! It still blows my mind the generosity of some members. I did a 1oz silver giveaway when I first joined steemit and thought I was the dogs bollux. Both you and goldmatters have blown my right out the waters. Lol
LOL!
@Papa-Pepper it’s really cool to see you giving back to the community like this, especially to these special people. I was just talking about you the other day to someone and she said that you were actually the very first person to welcome her in to steemit. @rebeccaryan has taken me under her wing and has helped me tremendously when others have ignored me. She speaks highly of you and I have already seen why. There are some really great people here in this community and I’m ecstatic just to be a part of it! Good on you, sir!
I wish I made it to her posts more often. She has been hard at work for a long time here too. It seems a lot of people appreciate me around here, LOL!
I'll reveal something special about the bonus points tomorrow!
I'm looking forward to that, you keep teasing us with that part lol!
This is a great initiative! I'm glad to see these going out to such valuable community memebrs. If you still need more let us know and we can likely help you out with some more. We hope everyone who wants one can get one somehow! It's going to be a great piece for years to come!
Okay, I might get with you on chat. I really want a good amount of them to make it all around the world!
Great Job ! Another Example of Putting the meaning of 'Community' into the STEEM Community Silver Coin.
Good point. I hadn't really thought about that!
Aw man, that poor guy only has gold? LOL! Hahahahahaha!
I wouldn't mind picking up one of these if they are still available. It may take me a little bit to get the SBD together, but I'm sure I can. If you have any tips shoot me a reply. Thanks.
Here are my current tips: @thedamus - @raybrockman - @sevinwilson - @spicyer
I think that they all may have some extra for sale... just not sure how expensive they are by now.
The generosity on Steemit never ceases to amaze me! Thanks @papa-pepper for ensuring these awesome Steemians can own this significant piece of Steemit history. Say hello to @blocktrades for me. @ironshield
There sure are some great, kind, and generous people here! Nice to see that you got yours!
The Steemit Silver Round exceed my expectations 100 fold. @ironshield
Damn! Aw well, I didn't make the list. To be fair, the guys you picked are huge names and certainly deserve them. :D
I have another list in the works!
You are a wonderful being dear friend,@papa-pepper these are the things that I admire from you congratulations for your generosity.
I wish you a beautiful week
I hope that your week is beautiful and amazing too my friend! - Potato-Pepper LOL - Thanks man!
Nicely done @papa-pepper. :)
Thanks. I thought that it was a good idea. They seem to precious to hoard them all.
Very generous.
