Welcome back to the #GooglyPrize
There's actually a bunch of exciting things to talk about today:
s to a bunch of trusted members in the community over on Planet Googly where they have the ability to approve, upvote and resteem valid entries to the contest while I am gone... so, despite avoiding my responsibilities to the contest, I hope the community can fulfil my commitment to run this show continuously and uninterruptedly. Fingers-crossed the bot's don't crash while I'm gone. This is kind of an exciting experiment! This contest is for the community, and I am stoked about the idea of having it run by the community, too!Your host @fraenk, that's me, I'm going to be off-line, off-grid and off-chain, for the week to come. But I hope that won't matter to this show. I have fabricobbled a bot to give access to the @googlyeyes account
And then there's this numeral elephant in the room... No. 49... that means the next coming issue of these winners-announcement will be a beautiful big 50, but there's something less obvious behind that number... it's the 1-Year Anniversary of this show, too!! The official announcement about starting this contest was posted on July, 2nd, 2017. I should come back from my little spiritual retreat just in time, but chances are we'll actually celebrate the 1-Year-Anniversary Issue No.50 a day late on the 3rd... but I am definitely already looking forward to finding a lot of awesome, maybe even celebratory #GooglyEyes posts to pick our anniversary winners, it's going to be absolutely amaze-balls!!!
what a wall of text, I know..
TL;DR
- I'll be offline for a few day, but the community has access to the curation accounts
- Next week's ISSUE NO 50 marks the 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY of the contest.
now back to the regular program...
Qualifying entries were submitted by:
@patrick36, @bucipuci, @gregoriojose, @mileidy10, @photoquest, @mariabarreto, @warrkin, @creepyturtle, @airam05, @eshley11, @mandysp, @lighteye, @semipermeabile and @v-rod
who all posted about their #GooglyEyes with passion.
The Prize Pool:
carried over from last week: 1.283 SBD
1.117 SBD have bought ~1.920 SBD in upvotes, 0.166 SBD remain
and an available delegation-prize of 157.088 SP
plus
100% of all rewards on last week's winner announcement:
1.739 SBD and 4.172 SP and 2.865 STEEM
The declining price and growing SBD-Debt-Ratio is seriously draining the SBD-pool, while it helps the delegation prize grow, this is still not ideal and we have a celebration coming up:
@googlyeyes is sponsoring an additional 5 SBD for the cash pool
that's 6.905 SBD in the cash pool:
40% will be used for next week, 60% will be paid out today!
3rd - 10%; 2nd - 20%; 1st - 30%
164.125 SP will be delegated to a googly winner!

π₯ this week's Googly-Delegation-Winners are: π₯
@creepyturtle / @bucipuci
you'll receive the #GooglyPrize delegation of 109.416 / 54.708 SP for a week.
Ok, that's new, we've never split the delegation pool before, but our second and first winners both have the exceptional perfect self-voting quota of 0% and @bucipuci actually had a little bit of a lead in the community voting... so let's break with some old habits and start a 2/3-1/3 split of the delegation awards!
