Thank you very much for this post! Since you got here I've always been humbled by your positivity on this platform, @passion-ground. I wouldn't stop sponsoring Open Mic if I were to fall out of the top 20 witnesses for an extended period of time but my contribution to the prize pool would fall. I've matched @ausbitbank's delegation of SP to the @openmic account so that the people participating it can earn a bit more, even if I can't put as much into the prize pool.
And don't forget I'm not the only sponsor either! @luzcypher has donated a ton of STEEM to the prize pool over the last 66 weeks and there are some heavy SP delegations to @openmic from some awesome community members: @fulltimegeek (15000+!!), @ausbitbank (5000+!), @luzcypher (1000+!) not to mention very generous delegations from @steevc, @buzzbeergeek, @meno (judge for Songwriter's Challenge), @bearone, @krystle (who also donates her time as a judge for Open Mic and Songwriter's Challenge), @nateb, @eliel, and @katamori.
You are quite welcome @pfunk! It’s the least I could do in return for all the support you lend to me and to the rest of the Open-Mic community – not to mention your contributions and dedication to the Steemit platform as a whole.
Thanks as well for pointing out all of the other outstanding supporters of Open-Mic. I will be following each of them going forward. Thanks again for all that you do, you rock, brother!
