Greetings, Helpies and Steemians of all walks!
It's time for your monthly Helpie
Overall...
Pretty quiet 'round these parts...
Witness Updates - Disabling the Witness
During this last year, @helpie had to do several power-downs to be able to pay to run the Witness, the final one being just this month. We've decided to STOP the @helpie WITNESS server on January 21, 2020. We have just paid for the next month and will run it until that date. I'll also share a stand-alone announcement post to remind everyone to unvote us. 🥰
I'd like to take a second to say THANK YOU!!! to everyone who voted our Witness! It was very encouraging to have all the support. We do wish we could continue but feel it just wouldn't be the best decision.
Why stop?
When initially starting the witness we decided it was a good idea to 'up our support of the blockchain' and @helpie was doing well. We now have the beloved @helpiecake Bakers (curators) and our focus has found it's home... in the kitchen😉. Each time we had to power-down and take away potential upvote power from excellent authors I was super sad. We kept holding out for steem to increase, in hopes it would be easier for us to pay the bill... but it simply hasn't.
Rather than continuing this path and possibly running out of stake all together, we decided we are most useful as a curating project... and we need steem power for that! 😍 Thus, no more witness... at least for now.
If you have ANY questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to one of us. ❤️
Helpiecake Curation Team (The Bakers)
❤️As mentioned above...This is the heart of Helpie.❤️ We 'bake' posts by curating and sending a bit of cake and love to all those who are going above and beyond... and need a little boost. I really think that manual curation is the most rewarding. And now that I (@carrieallen) am spending a couple of hours a day on it, it's less of a chore and more of something I look forward to! There's so much amazing content here to consume!
Thank you to all our fabulous bakers!!
This month we 'baked' 871 posts! That's all manual, baby!
We have channels and bots set up (thanks @eonwarped ! ) in our private Helpie Discord server to make it super easy to submit posts to be Helpiecaked (yes, I've made it a verb). It even tags the person who baked the post! Oh! And now there's a Spanish bot for the Spanish posts too! 😍
And... we have a group of AMAZING curators (and creators too) who spend time looking for those lost gems.

HELPIE Token
Have you received some HLPE tokens lately and don't know what to do with them?! You've come to the right place.
Check out THIS POST on all the ways you can currently EARN HLPE tokens (on and off-chain). There's also a Step-By-Step tutorial (with pics) on how to REDEEM those HLPE for upvotes. 😍
Still confused? Reach out! We ARE Helpies, after all. 😍
How to access your HELPIE tokens (or any tokens on Steem-Engine)
The easiest way to view, send and receive any steem-engine tokens is via the browser add-on called KEYCHAIN, created by Witness #1 on the STEEM blockchain, @ yabapmatt.
KEYCHAIN- Chrome
KEYCHAIN- FireFox
Not only are you able to easily deal with all your tokens, but KEYCHAIN stores multiple STEEM account passwords and keys for you. It's completely safe. No one, not even Matt, has access to your passwords. If you have any questions or concerns about the application feel free to reach out. Otherwise...
You can also access and do 'all the things' at Steem-Engine.com.😊
As always, if you find yourself in times of trouble... Just ask!

Its a bit sad to see the witness go, especially since a lot of people are hopeful that the price will rise with the upcoming release of communities and SMTs but only time will tell. Hopefully if the situation improves it can be turned back on?
Of course!
Or if Helpie got a sugar daddy.😉
This is a little sad but we will keep on baking and sharing love:) I have a feeling that things will take of next year, stay strong:)
Thank you for all the serving of cake! I hope there is a bright future ahead (don't we all?)
