I have 50 Steem Basic Income Shares (SBI’s) to give away. This post is part of a series started by @steevc to help user retainment on the Steemit platform and will use the #tenkminnows tag.
I haven’t held a contest in what seems months and in the past they frankly haven’t done so well.
Not in terms of what I gain, but people seem to by shy about the ‘PICK ME’ philosophy, so what I intend from this one is for others to nominate others.
I need from you (the community), recommendations. I’m looking for Steemians who have less than 500SP, are active and to be frank are not shovelling out crap on the block chain.
I think @thedarkhorse may be able to give me some pointers?
I mentioned in @steevc’s previous post that in today’s world, attaining Dolphin level is simply unattainable UNLESS you invest some REAL HARD CASH into STEEM and power it up.
I still believe you can attain Minnow III (500 STEEM power) level by sheer hard work and commitment and I’m willing to give some support to those who are doing the right things.
Three ‘I’s means I need to change my diction.
Here’s what I am looking for:
The account must have less than 500SP.
The account must be producing good content, not necessarily big meaty 500 words plus material, but original work.
The account must NOT be buying votes, AT ALL. This is a pet hate of mine (though I used to do it when I started).
The account must not be in a constant state of powering down. We need to build, not milk. (This is not a ‘forever’ clause, everyone will power down at some stage.)
The account holder must be able to stand on their head while sticking their tongue out and crossing their legs for at least 30 seconds. (This post was getting a mite serious for my liking.)
And that’s it.. I don’t ask much do I?
What you will get as a beneficiary:
- 10 Steem Basic Income shares (there will be 5 Beneficiaries), and a FREE lifetime BASIC *subscription to @chops.support (currently dishes out a daily vote of around 2c per post).
*Disclaimer: If you show me you’re abusing the platform or showing a general level or arseholesness in the future this may well get revoked.
What I need from the community:
Let me know of worthy candidates in the comments section. I don’t want two or three, more thirty or forty.
Don’t put yourself forward; you must be nominated by someone else.
Please vote this post and resteem it. Any rewards it gets will be delegated to the @chops.support to increase its voting strength.
About the @chops.support account.
This account is a passive voting account I created in June 2018 as a thank you for some Steemians that helped me when I started with a nominal amount of STEEM power.
It’s gone from that to something else in the last 8 months and is now running at just over 4000 STEEM Power. Nothing is ever removed from this account and ALL rewards are powered up.
It has some delegation support from several generous Steemians, but I am NOT asking for any more delegations. That was never the purpose of the account and nothing has changed in this regard.
My future vision of the @chops.support account was to add more struggling Steemians to it; to give them a hand getting started.
STEEM is 30c each right now; I remember when it was over $4. The @chops.support account may be giving you votes of 2c now, but what happens when STEEM rises again. If thats not an incentive to get you writing then I dont know what is.
'The winners will be announced when this post has paid out. I hope to take on FIVE great potential new Steemians and inspire them to keep going and keep producing great content.' - @slobberchops
If you found this article so invigorating that you are now a positively googly-eyed, drooling lunatic with dripping saliva or even if you liked it just a bit, then please upvote, comment, resteem, engage me or all of these things.
That's very generous of you. I will add 2 SBI for each of the winners.
I will kick off the nominations with @dougalporteous who is new here, but already joining in the community. He's been to at least one meetup already and I'll probably see him at the next London one on Wednesday. He's posting most days with art, videos and music.
Excellent, I'm already aware of @dougalporteous and will add him to the potential winners list.
Sounds like a really great contest. I hope it works well for you. I know what you mean about contests not panning out so well in the past. I have been in the same position. Good luck, I am sure you will get some great nominees!
Do you know anyone who might benefit from this @bozz? I think you know what I'm looking for.
Not sure yet. I kept it open in case I want to comment on it again later. I need to dig through the accounts I manually curate and see if they match the criteria.
It has to be @longer, whom I've already recommended on this platform. His work is always quality and it never fails to make me smile. Check him out if you haven't already.
Will let you know if I find anyone else, but I've been a bit absent recently - out of reach of wifi!
Thank you for this nomination @natubat . Let me use this comment also to write that I haven't forgot what I promised but need some more time and inspiration. Please wait a little more :(

Thanks @longer! Take your time - I know what it's like trying to fit everything in. It's no problem for me :)
Sure, will check him out!
Going to nominate @janenightshade for this. She's been doing pretty well for herself, and is around 300 total Steem/SP, but she deserves a nice boost considering the quality of the content she turns out. :)
Now this is what I'm looking for, Horror too.. something that interests me. Thanks for the recommendation, @janenightshade has been added as a potential beneficiary.
I nominate @curatorcat, who has been around a while, started the #catsofsteemit tag, and is an all around cool cat, daddy-o. :)
@arseniclullaby
Morbid humor and dark imagination. Unique and well crafted illustrations. Tutorials and proponent of the #comics section of Steemit. I'd like to see him around a long time. I think all your criteria is met. Please check it out.
I'm a fan too. I even bought some books from him
Congratulations! This post has been chosen as one of the daily Whistle Stops for The STEEM Engine!
You can see your post's place along the track here: The Daily Whistle Stops, Issue 411 (02/25/19)
Me! 😆
Im working on building s game for the Steem ecosystem. Im also a content creator and have a new video Ill be releasing later today. Just have a little editing to finish up.
This could possibly help me out a bit. I dont know much about SBI but the concept seems interesting.

I would consider you.. already have actually... but am looking for non self-nominations. Good to hear about your upcoming game though, we need more of those.
Thanks. I would recommend someone but I cant think of any good accounts that I follow with less than 500 SP. 🧐

@janenightshade
She's one of the writers in our group. If you didn't know we are publishing a book on Amazon on Friday.
She's amazing.
That’s a double recommendation, your not the first one to mention Jane, will look her up!

Hi, you'll be able to find many, many small, active users who act in positive ways on the daily posts by @redfisher.app.
That account also do with a share as its rewards are powered up and delegated to these accounts. Im probably gonna set a few on it myself.
Posted using Partiko Android
Thanks for the info, I can see there's a load of accounts on there but I was looking for personal recommendations really.
Photographer-minnows that stand out for making calm & balanced photography:
@monotharch (even though he just crossed the 500sp treshhold)
@walter-v-ac (german photo artist, very interesting concepts on film)
@marcoteixeira (very talented amateur)
@photowanze (another great german photographer)
@adyorka (photographer of different things from Venezuela)
It would be great to boost some off-the-beaten-track photography!
Thanks for the generous contest!
Thanks, I will look all these people up!
I will be delighted in nominating @mistakili . He's a good poet, lover of steem and never give up on steem even when the going seems no to be pleasant.
Oh wow, thank you so much bro.... I nominate @adeyemidrey as well. A steem soldier
All my friends are gone, and sadly I cant nominate myself, even though my posts are drowning, I will like to nominate @joyce-okpobo, shes an awesome writer, shes an epitome of creativity and quality, and she could really use some help in hitting the minnow mark and beyond.
Thank you for the initiative to help a bunch of us grow, I've been active since last year, seen the good and ugly times, right now I just want to grow again, Ive always been a producer of quality content and will always be.
Thanks @mistakili, I'll add @joyce-okpobo to the list.
I'll be back with some names for you, but wanted to toss out that I will purchase each winner 2 shares in @minnowbuilder5. Just getting this account of the Minnow Builder Program up and running. That will be a total of 10 shares.
Ok off to put the finishing touches on my Daughters bedroom before she comes home from vacation. It was time to make her room more "her" now that she is 13. So spent the last 4 days completely redoing her room top to bottom...well actually the carpet stayed, but changed just about everything else in there. Can't wait to see her reaction when I bring her home from the airport tonight.
Thanks @thedarkhorse, I thought you might have some good ones.
Hey @slobberchops, after a year of trying on and off on the platform, i learned a couple of things. One of that is that visibility is hard to reach.
i still have not really figured out the workings of the sbi’s, i learned that buying votes does not really help you with your reach, and leveloing up is dificult. Some still say that creating a post daily will make you reach an audience. But personally i am not able to create original content rach and everyday ... so luckily this reply is not about me 😁
if there is anybody here that, imho, deserves more support it is @crypto.piotr (i’m not sure about his account status, or his amounts of
Sp) what i do know is that piotr is trying to help (re)build the steem community by getting people more engaged on other people’s posts. And that is something that the platform needs from my perspective.
Good luck, and i will follow you because by the look of it, we do have some simular hobbys
Hello @elektropunkz, thanks for your nomination. You are not posting or commenting much so you are not really going to get much back. Your last post was some time ago about the Cryptopia hack.
If you don't want to post, then engage more with others posters. You will likely gain more from comment rewards.
Yes indeed, you are right. Maybe i should comment some more ... i will give that a try, Maybe i’m old skool, i often feel like if i don’t have anything interesting to say, i better say nothing. Thanks for your advice 👍😉
Fabulous idea of @steevc's and this is a lovely way of supporting it :) I've sent a @treeplanter vote to this post and I'll be having a look for nominations :)
Thanks Shani, and for the @treeplanter vote too. The more potentials we have the better!

What a wonderful gesture @slobberchops, I'd like to nominate @justjoy, a retired English teacher with the most amazing sense of humour, writes wonderful stories!

This is a cool contest and I hope you get all the nominations you are looking for. I have seen some pretty good, consistent content from a few steemians. If I can remember when I have a bit of time, I will try to come back and give some nominations.
That is so generous of you

This is great idea and initiative. I am closing in on 1kSP. So, I am ineligible for this.
I love to see the support and humanity towards low SP users which is one of the reasons why I equally running a weekly Steem Power giveaway for new users. I am targeting new users with interest in interacting and growing on Steem despite their resource credit limitations.
I might come back to edit this comment when I have a perfect candidate :)
