Small Accounts Need Our Help
I guess it is no secret anymore that HF20 has had a devastating impact on the smaller accounts.
New people that sign up, have a limited amount of SP, and as a result very few Resource Credits. This limits the number of posts and comments they can make. As a result, they will never be able to grow their account without investing money, a privilige we did have.
No Future
If new accounts can't work there way up without investing and are limited to 3 comments a day, we can't expect them.to stay.
And if no new users are willing to pay for their account, and pay again for every post or comment they put out, SteemIt will die a lonesome death.
If nothing changes, the platform I became to love so much is doomed.
You Can Help
If you are one of the few people that cares about this situation, you can help by 1 simple button click! I'll even reward you for this easy task.
But you've got to hurry, because time is running out.

How To Help
5 days ago, I launched a contest in which I promised to delegate my SP to 10 redfish who are in trouble. The idea is to bring their SP up to 100, so they will be able to function properly and grow their account by posting and engaging.
Although there must be hundreds of people in trouble, only a few people applied.
This means my contest should be shared with a broader audience.
And that's where you come in.
All I ask is a resteem of the original contest post (which you can find here: 🚀 Redfish Rocket Contest 3: Win A Delegation And Stop Running Out Of RC).
Once you've resteemed, leave a message with your profile link in the comments section below.
An optional extra is to refer new redfish to the contest.
To do so, tag them in your comment below, and ask them to leave a comment on the original post and apply to enter the contest. They should add who referred them to the contest (=your usename) to their application.
Incentive
I'm setting a @steem-bounty on this post. (You can find out how @steem-bounty works here).
Source
When you resteemed the original post and left a link to your profile page in the comments section below, you will get an upvote from me and receive a share of the bounty.
If you manage to refer new contestants, you'll receive a bigger upvote, and as a result you'll receive a bigger share of the bounty.
IMPORTANT
This offer expires when the original post has reached payout, which will be in two days from now.
Any submissions that come in later are not eligible to receive part of the bounty.
Another Way To Help Out
I've set up the contest to reward 10 people with a delegation that will bring up their amount of SP up to 100.
This means that - after I announced the winners - the others will still be struggling to keep their account alive.
If you have any SP, Steem or SBD to spare, know that you could prevent a new, talented user from leaving by delegating or donating a little to them.
Basically, a person can function relatively normal with about 75Sp. But if you don't have that much to spare, any amount will do. If a new users can receive 10 delegations of 7.5SP, he's out of the problem zone.
Any donation or delegation - as small as it may be - means a new user will get a bigger opportunity to survive.

Time For Some Positive Action
Ever since HF20, there's a lot of negativity shared here on SteemIt.
You can help to turn that around and send a positive message.
Show people you care, and help SteemIt to survive.

@paramimd here is the contest you can get SP. This is the original post link: https://steemit.com/steempress/@simplymike/redfishrocketcontest3winadelegation-f8etvpas9p
I hope this will help you.
Hello @simplymike
Tremendous proposal, very beneficial for the community in general, I have some friends who started after me in steemit, and for having very little SP are not practically writing anything, I think it has affected much small accounts the HF20.
I invite my friends:
@nahela,
@trabajosdelsiglo
@sabias-que
@pedroelec
@jesusagon
To participate and have the opportunity to take advantage of this great benefit.
Resteem to this post and the post of the contest.
Thanks for that help to the community.
I was able to delegate some SP, and it has allowed me to publish and comment quietly, but in my country, (Venezuela), not everyone can do it, Steemit is a source of help for many, and unfortunately they have been very affected by the HF20.
Thank you again.
It's true that HF20 has affected a whole lot of accounts. But I read that they are working on a solution.
Just like on the other post, some of the usernames didn't turn into links...
Ready@simplymike, I made a mistake when writing.
but resolved. I'll do the same in the other comment. Thanks for notifying, I had not noticed.
I resteemed that when I first saw it I wish I knew more people to help. It is so silly to me the way this works. I have 300SP and I have enough RC to never run out but someone with 30 SP can't do jack. I just don't get it at all. I want to help if I can and I did send @cendrinemedia your way on discord. I really hope this doesn't ruin steem
They seem to be working on a solution, but I got to see it before I believe it's going to make the platform free to use again.
Thanks for the support

Ya for now it is going to be on us to help the new people we bring in fore sure they need to fix this.
But will they? I'll believe it when I see it.
If you read the posts and comments from most big stakeholders, there's only one thing that is important. Earning money, preferrably as much as possible. The bigger part doesn't give a shit about the smaller accounts, and opportunities for people from poor countries to boost their income. To me, a post payout of $10 is fun, but it is just change, while for a lot of Steemians it would mean they could be feeding their family for a week.or longer.
So I assiume they will come up with a fix like RC delegation, but I highly doubt it will be free. So it won't be fix and small accounts will still be where they are now: no rights to give their opinion, no rights to earn a little money and - and this goes for everyone - if you have good intentions and express your disagreements with the author, you simply get downvoted for not agreeing. That is against human rights (freedom of speech), and reminds me more of a dictatorship than of a so called 'decentralized' platform.
I hope they will make things better for others instead of only their own wallet, but I got to see it to believe it
Of Course I resteemed the post. I have also been trying to add a vote to some of the comments. I don't have the vp to do them all but it is a little help for the entries.
I may be wrong but I do not think RC delegation pools will help the redfish much. It will be a huge help to those who have the extra RC to rent out.
I will try to resteem as many of these helpful projects as possible and also do a round up post once a month.
The more people who know about these projects the more helpful they will be.
You're obviously thinking what I am thinking: no way they are going to give those delegations away for free. Which means there will be no solution. And the few people who are willing to delegate SP or RC for free can not cover the hundreds of newbies that are in trouble.
By the way, here's another post in which the author offers a couple of delegations. I missed it earlier, because you can't tell from his title.
I suggested he'd change it, so it would be more clear.
https://steemit.com/steemit/@blockurator/let-s-have-a-minnow-celebration-party-7594ff5d092e4est
I really am trying to keep on the positive side. Still I can't forget that conversation from 3 months ago.
Looks very much like someone deliberately set up a huge demand for a new product.
I wouldn't even be seeing anything wrong with that. Except for the fact that the target market are those who can least afford the product. Almost like deliberately making this site exclusive to those who can afford to invest.
On a personal level ... I rarely have discretionary income to use for things like this. The only reason my account barely made it past the cull is a combination of luck, timing, and the generosity of others.
So yeah, I am all about trying to help point the silenced in the direction of any help. Especially since I seem to encounter a lot of new accounts in my pifc wanderings.
Thanks for the link happy to have another to add to my collection.
I might be repeating myself, 'cos I told this to a couple of people already. So forgive me if you've heard this conspiracy theory for which is quite some proof before.
Earlier this week, someone contacted me and asked me if I wanted to join a project for oracl-d. If you hadn't heard from.it before, take a quick look at their intro post here.
I've been reading quite some stuff from the big stakeholders these last few weeks, and the combination of Oracl-d and what I have read in those posts is that many of them don't think this is a social.media platform, but an investment opportunity.
If you want a credible investment platform that can attract people who want to invest hundreds of thousands of Dollars in, you have to make a good impression, and have something to show for: a platform with high-quality articles written by writers who know a lot of fancy words.
Here's my assumption
You don't want a potential investor, who is about to invest a large sum.of money to see the posts that are of lower quality. You know: first impression and all. So the logical step to take is to limit the number of posts that form a high risk of not being top notch. Redfish were the first victims. The top only want serious newbies who are good enough to see a future here, and thus are willing to pay for play. No more freebies, no more fun - if you want to attract big shot investors, you can't have a site filled with stupid memes, silly posts and nonsense.
And I get that.
But erasing all the smaller accounts is not the solution, a lot of them can bring real value to the blockchain, once they get settled in and figure it all out.
Meanwhile, some big stakeholders post even bigger nonsene, and not just once, but all the time. But he is so powerful they can't erase him like they do with the newbies.
I understand their vision of an investment platform. After all, if they can get people to pump a lot of money in Steem, the price and credibility of the coin will go up. But this is definitely the wrong approach.
(Everything above is only a theory bzsed on what I've read here and there so I might be completely wrong about everythin. It's just... my gut feeling tells me I'm right about this one, and the damn thing is right very often)
I resteemed that a while back because it is something I wanted to look into.
And like you I have kept it in mind as I watch things unfold.
I think you may be onto something. You actually may have given me another piece of a puzzle I have been mulling over for a while.
I have been able to see how the investors are needed. Also the SMTs coming into play so that large companies can use their own token reward system.
It is very obvious the "social" aspects will go through some pretty radical changes. I feel like a lot was hinted at with the "hive" or community features.
I have since I arrived here been thinking about the why behind the "quality" posting. At the time I was thinking if I figure out what was the purpose behind rewarding content, then I could know what to produce.
Also I kept reading this is an "experiment" I wondered exactly what was being tested out.
All I could come up with is that all these people doing all these posts were basically feeding Google. Could it be that is what was being rewarded. Think about it almost any topic you search there is a link back to Steemit.
"Quality" post is driving traffic. Not only that but ones with lots of comments would rank higher. Google loves a site with tons of fresh content on a daily basis.
I think you have nailed it. I also think I may be very fortunate to have gotten in when I did. On the one hand I have met some amazing people, learned a lot, and had an experience I will never forget.
On the other hand I am thinking it could be very advantageous to get involved with a few "communities" now.
Seems like there may be potential for one or more to really take off and be very rewarding.
I know you are involved in a lot of initiatives. I think better up my game. Just posting and commenting will not be enough.
Ooops sorry been trying to sort these thoughts for a while guess I am happy to encounter someone who is seeing it. I am just bouncing ideas.
Thank you for taking into consideration all the small fish in the sea. Coming from someone who really tries to make something out of myself, it really make me glad that there are people in the world who help others out for the sake of being kind.

Your profile is looking good. I get the fact that the number of posts is limited, but I have checked your comments feed and it looks like yiu are really engaging with the community.

Hi @celinavisaez, I apologize as I just saw this. Here is an SP delegation contest that you can join to get more SP. Go to the original post: https://steemit.com/steempress/@simplymike/redfishrocketcontest3winadelegation-f8etvpas9p and leave your comment there as required on that contest. It is about to end so the earlier you get there, the better.
Hi Mike, Celina has 24.x SP. She is an active member of PIFC and I understand if she can no longer function as she used to. I see she tried to do Steemhunting which I believe is good as that somehow does not require much SP but her engagement is still very limited. Any delegation to boost her current SP will be great. Thanks in advance!
Original post resteemed.

Thanks, @beeyou. Her name has been added to the list
I am fine that you confused me with beeyou. 😀 Please just make sure that you added the correct username of my referral. Thank you. 😊
Lol, I'm sorry - I don't know where that mistake came from.
Thanks for bringing in another contestant.
Great initiative!
Already heard they will tackle this problem in the next update but still new users are facing this problem right now and will most likely leave since like you said they are not able to grow their account like we all did previously.
Resteemeda and I will also tell my roommate @yougotresteemed to resteem the post to his 10.5K followers.
Thanks a lot. You're right, there are rumors about 'a fix', but I doubt it will be one. It would surprise me if they would hand out those RC delegations for free. But who knows, maybe they'll surprise me.
And indeed, until there is a solution, the small accounts are just abandoned, with no help from the top. And the number of users giving away delegations is very small. I don't want to know how many are leaving the platform every day...
I resteemed the original post.

I have resteemed your contest post. Outstanding initiative @simplymike.
@jk6276.
Thanks for the support, @jk6276
I reblogged this post. But personally I feel this is a steemit inc mess to clean up. They have SP and they control the code. They intentionally crippled the network. If the community of existing users somehow fight and makes the system limb to next step, they will think the system is working. I feel they need to understand full intensity of what they have done and fix the system where it should be fixed.
I agree. And meanwhile, they started working on an RC delegation system.
There were enough people that expressed that they were not OK with this.
But while they are working on it, loads of redfish are leaving. I want to keep this platform alive, and that is not possible without a new instream. Who knows how long it will take for their system to be ready... the entire redfish league could be long gone by then...
So yes, although it is not my mess, I'm still cleaning it up. But I can do only so much. All initiatives in total (those that I know of) were able to help maybe 40 small accounts. There are hundreds of them that can't post or comment. What about those people?

I completely agree, @minimining. How can they expect people to stay around when they are not able to post or comment.

i just resteemed, i am handling same situation as you said in the post, its really hard to survive with low resource credits here. 100% agree with you.
Have you left your name in the comments section of the original contest post.
The contest is still open, you can still join
Posted using Partiko Android
Resteemed - a good initiative.
I hope that you find some good candidates. This has given me food for thought about how I could try to do something similar. Also, I think that steem bounty competitions could be a good way for redfish to build their accounts quicker (I must confess that I have only recently found it!).
Many don't have enough RC to comment, they have to contact me through Discord, so Steem-bounty is not really an option.
And even if you have only 50sp to spare, please delegate it to an account that has muted by this system. 50sp can make the difference between staying and leaving

@alimamasstory. Please join the contest. https://steemit.com/steempress/@simplymike/redfishrocketcontest3winadelegation-f8etvpas9p
I have resteemed the contest post. Thank you @simplymike for helping redfish.
Thanks for the support, @iamjadeline. I'm doing what I can, but unfortunately it is only a drop in the ocean. Hundreds, maybe thousands of people are muted because of the implementation of RC, and all delegation initiatives together can help maybe 40 people.
I hear a lot of people say that this is not their mess to clean up, and they are right. But the ones that created the mess don't give a f*. And I can't just sit back and relax while so many redfish are leaving the platform every day because they don't have the right to leave a comment or make a post. Without an instream of new users, this platform will go down very fast.
Done! Keep on the good work!
Thanks for the support!
happily resteemd your project! It is truly great work.
Resteemed! Awesome opportunity you’re providing here for newbies, the harsh RC limitations on new accounts is a shame
It's indeed a shame... and plain rude to ditch the small accounts like that.
Thanks for the support!
I resteemed at the moment I saw that article. I am considering delegating some SP too, but I have not much.
https://steemit.com/@ropaga
It's very kind of you, but I would suggest you don't delegate your SP. With 100SP you're sure you can do what you want when you want.
If you do not comment a whole lot, you can go down to 75sp, but I wouldn't suggest that.
I think it's a shame that there are so many people with loads of SP, and that the proposal to delegate to redfish has to come from you,... you can barely survive yourself. I think it's very generous of you, and I hope you will take that generosity with you when you grow your account, so you can help out others in the future. It's just a shame that the big stakeholders don't show any initiative...
Resteemed the contest @simplymike great idea!
https://steemit.com/@jsquirms
Thank you so much for trying to help! Steemit will probably fix it eventually, but until then it's nice to know there's people looking out for the small fries around here. I reblogged the contest and hopefully that'll get some people in ^^
Such a cool idea @simplymike!! I see many big users are reaching out and helping fish in the same way!!
I have resteemed, but not noticed any redfish that are consistently posting!! But this of course makes sensem i was trying to help a few but have received no replies. But now it all makes sense!!

I'll resteem yours if you'll resteem mine. https://steemit.com/steemit/@blockurator/let-s-have-a-minnow-celebration-party-7594ff5d092e4est
I thought I had resteemed it already, but apparently I didn't.
Maybe it would be a good idea to add something like ('Delegation Giveaway') to the title, so it is clear you are offering delegations.
I thought I had seen an app that allowed me to resteem with an extra message (like on FB), but I can't seem to find it again. The problem is that with your current title, you're not going to reach any redfish looking for a delegation. If it would have been clear, I would have resteemed it when I first saw it. Afterwards, I couldn't find the post anymore, because I was looking for the wrong tags and titles.
Thanks for the feedback. I realized that this morning when I was saving the link for you. I asked myself that very question. How would anyone know I was giving away delegations with my title? It's a no-brainer and I flubbed it. I will do another one after this one expires.
You can still edit the title of this one too...
I did. But I suspect I'll have to re-do the contest. I'll be sure to include a delegation giveaway in the title of the next one--if no one takes me up on this one in the next couple of days.
Good idea. There are still plenty of suffering redfish out there. At least, I hope so, because they can't comment or post. And a lot of them don't know about Discord yet.
Can you maybe let me know when you post another one. I rarely look at my feed, so there's a chance I miss it. If you let me know, I can resteem. Oh wait, I'll set you up on Gina, she'll let me know
I can send you a Discord DM. No problem. :-)
I'm definitely in, great idea, I just wish I had more SP to delegate, although this problem is already being worked on to find a solution.
https://steemit.com/@diogosantos
Yep, I heard that too. I'm just wondering if they are going to offer the RC delegations for free...
I was wondering what would happen to those just starting out. I seemed to have just made it under the line - just made it to 100SP through posting, freely commenting and engaging. I really felt limited after the hardfork that I could not comment freely (that's how i connected with alot of people and found my tribe). Luckily someone delegated to me and lifted that limitation. I thought of the others who were just starting out and how hard it would be for them so I'm happy you are doing this initiative. I upvoted and resteemed. Profile - http://steemit.com/@porters
I chucked an upvote and resteem on your contest post, though it would almost be payout time for it. No need to share rewards with me, keep up the good work and helping out newer accounts!
I am late seeing this @simplymike and with very limited time at the moment, will do what I can. While late, as requested, I have resteemed your original post.

Thanks for the support
Don't worry. Steem Developers are already working on a feature that will allow us to Delegate Resource Credits, without having to delegate Steem.
This will make sure everyone will have their share of Delegation, except the countless spammers and scammers that used to infest this place.
In case no one noticed, their criminal activities are way down.
I am confident that SteemIt will find a way to move forward. These tweaks take time. Let's see where it goes, before starting to panic. 😋
I know they will fix it, eventually. But the big question is when. As you probably know, SteemIt isn't really quick when it comes to releasing new stuff. Meanwhile, loads of users are dropping out again...
They are fixing it as we speak. 😊
https://busy.org/@holger80/code-review-of-changes-since-0-20-5-resource-pool-delegations-were-added
I'm glad to hear they are on it, at least. But these delegations are still needed for the weeks to come!
Absolutely, or they won't be a single redfish left by the time they've fixed it.
Just a thought: they are implementing RC delegations, but will they make them free of charge?? With what I have been reading lately, I highly doubt it...:0(
Posted using Partiko Android
The problem is that we are losing some potentially valuable new users in the mean time. Don't let the "Steemit will fix it" mentality prevent people from helping out new users right now :)
Oh, we've been helping new users long before this problem and we'll be helping them long after it's solved. I am not even worried about that. 😋
Before and after, but not during the problem. These newbies are simply cut off and except for a few people (5? 10?) nobody lifts a finger to help the through this period. I don't even want to know how many (talented) newcomers have left already....

If I were rich, I could do more... but I'm not. I'm paying for STEEM delegation myself. As you comprehend, I cannot start delegating to new users at this point, because I'm not Santa Claus. I cannot invest my hard earn money... and then offer it to others.
That would be like spending my salary buying Google Shares, only to offer them to the first 3 homeless people I encounter. Yes, they might be hungry, yes, they might need the money... but I can't be their saviour.
So, I just do what I can to help new users, namely on this contest.
https://busy.org/@pifc/week-27-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-323180a143e0cest
I'll leave the delegating SP to the rich users that can afford it.
If everyone would do what he could, this place would be a lot nicer for everyone.
No one expects you to delegate your SP to others. @pifc is a great way to support the smaller accounts. Thank you for putting in the effort. Personally, I have never found the time to enter.

The RC system really sucks. Steemit will not work as a pay to play site. I know some don't view this place as a social media site but that is exactly what it is. People are not going to stick around here to be made to pay to do the same things they can do elsewhere for free. Such a shame ... this place has so much potential and great users like yourself trying to push it forward.- HF20 was a killer for my blog. I usually have tons of activity on it with some of my topics getting into the 100's of comments. But since my account was Redfish / minnow focused .... I have lost allot of activity on it since HF20 was introduced. I even ran out of RC myself a handful of times and I have over 200 SP. Imagine how much this platform must suck for a new user that wants to be active. Investments isn't the only thing this platform needs to survive .... it needs people willing to put in time ..... and most importantly it needs users.
I couldn't agree more.
And all that talk about the 'fix' they are working on... it would really surprise me if they would hand out those RC delegations for free.
I've been reading a lot of posts and comments from the big stakeholders lately (more than before), and a lot of them share the opinion that a redfish should simply invest in the platform.
But who is going to do that? The first three months or so on this platform are like hell: there is so much to learn, everything is so complicated, there is so much pressure and the earnings are so low... no one will be so stupid to invest from the beginning. It's just not a realistic idea.
And then I talk to people who live in poor countries, and I hear they can make a month's wage here on SteemIt in just a week. And then I'm not talking about hundreds of Dollars - more like $20or so. And they expect them to invest???
"It's not a social media platform, it's a business platform' is something I read a couple of times this week. BS!
They just want to go back to the early days, when there was just a limited group of users who had knowledge and could write. Because they want it to be a business platform, they want to attract investors. I assume lower-quality posts make that more difficult. So the small accounts are punished. While @i'mnotgoingtosayhisnamebecauseIdon'twanttogetflagged can go on posting crap, simply because he has a lot of money.
I used to love this platform to death, but the only reason I am still here are the people I consider to be my friends - and the hope that SMT's will make a real difference. I'm more and more disgusted about what's going on at the top of the food chain. I had hoped our 'middle class' would have time enough to grow bigger and get a chance to change the tide, but HF20 came too soon. We're not big enough yet, and we have nothing to say on this platform that is run like a dictatorship - decentralized??? Hahahaha, not even close!
Sorry forgot to follow instructions lol

@simplymike once again, thanks for your support, it is much appreciated! :)
(35 SP delegation to my account I've got today)
I have Resteemed this your post too and would certainly refer some of my other friends to your blog.
RC thing is definitely limits the ability of people with less SP to partake in this Steem community. Especially so for newcomers. I have even made my own blog post on this matter recently:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@vimukti-ananda/thoughts-about-rc-same-old-parable-of-talents-principle-employed
Thus I certainly do agree with the things you said above:
"The new RC system takes away their chances to grow"
and then also in section "No Future" - VERY TRUE !
What will Steemit inevitably become without inflow of new members? just a bunch of bots and investors who "tail" and upvote each others, re-sell those upvotes to higher bidders ...
"Parable of Talents" indeed!
De facto Investment Platform rather than alternative social media...
or perhaps even something similar to HYIPs, although there one doesn't need to do anything else (as upvote, post, etc) - just invest and get commissions. here though it is sort of slower HYIP (IF one can afford to invest certain amounts), but have to do a lot of stuff.
so, what I mean is: without such a support from community members to fellow steemians - this whole project would not survive for long. IMO only investors (or investment-minded people) can't keep it afloat.
I resteemed that post but confused if i should only nominate new users or also old users who has few SP.
