A month or so ago, I wrote a couple posts detailing how I felt that $100K is life changing money to most people. Since I firmly believe we will see a price of $100 STEEM (more believable now than when it was $.85), that means people will hit that level by powering up to 1000 SP.
At that time I introduced the 1KSP program (which stands for 1,000 SP). The idea behind the program was to "adopt" someone who had less than 1,000 SP and upvote up to 2 posts a day at 100% voting power. This was to continue until that individual reached 1,000 SP.
A week ago, I announced that the first one I adopted, @mariannewest, reached the 1K threshold in her account. She is now on here way, working towards the 2,500 level.
Here is the write up that I posted about that:
In that post I asked for suggestions of people to add to the program. While I got a lot of wonderful ideas, some did not meet the requirements. Here are some of the basics:
- Must have below 1,000 SP (or equivalent in his/her account). Many have SBD and STEEM in their account which pushed them over the threshold.
- They must be willing to power up, not down. Many are in need of the funds and I understand that. However, this is a program designed to grow an account to build wealth.
- They must post daily. This is a social site and we need interaction.
Now it is time to expand and grow.
I am excited to announce there is another participant in this program with me. Personally, I hope this motivates a few more of the dolphins to participate also.
@overkillcoin has agreed to join me in adopting a person who fits the criteria I just mentioned. He is pleased to announce that he selected @hanen as his adoptee. Please assist @overkillcoin in this venture by stopping by his blog and giving some of his wonderful animations an upvote or two (he really does sensational work).
As for myself, I am going to assist @jakeybrown in his quest to get to 1,000 SP. Thus far he does more commenting than posting but we will change that.
Congratulations to these two individuals and thank you @overkillcoin for your commitment to this.
By the way, if anyone over 1,000 SP would like to join us in helping others, this is a great way to give back. While your vote might not be worth a ton, to someone new it can really help. This is especially true for your Dolphins. We need 3 or 4 more of you to publicly come on board. There are many fine candidates who @overkillcoin and myself came up with who would appreciate the help.
Help us make this a grand success.
EDIT
@preparedwombat has agreed to "adopt" @eaglespirit. Please go to their blogs and show your support for each of them.
If you found this article helpful, please upvote and resteem.

That´s a very nice initiative you´ve started here and what else could one do than to join in and support the cause a bit. Both your chosen steemians @hanen & @jakeybrown are now in my voting list as well to receive an additional push from my side :)
Excellent @steembusiness.
If you want to adopt someone yourself, we have plenty of candidates.
Thank you for your support.
It's just a small vote but it'll contribute to the overall goal along the way :)
Hook me up on discord by chance & let me know about the other candidates ;) (Same username as on steemit)
Are you on steemit.chat?
I am :) Same Username ;)
Oh thank you I am so happy. I just noticed this message now :) I think a bit late, but I already noticed that you were upvoting my posts :)
What a cool idea. I only just learnt what Steem power and voting power was thanks to your post from three days back. I was so excited I finally learned something, I not only understood but was useful that I wrote my own post about my appreciation of yours, with the hope to help more Minnows like me use our Steem power better. (Only 59 hours left until back to 100%)
I can't wait to get my slider bar at 500SP. I'm a long way off at just over 70 but I convert all my SBD to Steem and Power up as soon as I get any through. It's going to be a long process as getting traction as a Minnow is very hard.
I applaud you for setting this up and hope you get some more dolphins and even whales to support you and others. That's what I believe this platform is about and what makes me know that powering up and investing in each other is the best way forward.
Thanks again for being awesome!
I missed this! Great job.
I am also working on giving a hand up to a few minnows.
Great project I hope others follow along.
Starting a trend of decentralized launching on the SteemIt platform. Thank you to @preparedwombat for bringing this to my attention!
It's spreading! More & More & More & we will all be YUUGGEEE!!
Cool, I’m open to suggestions; don’t spend nearly enough time looking at the New page. I’ve got just over 4KSP right now (big minnow en route to being a baby dolphin), would be happy to help out. Any suggestions @taskmaster4450?
Do you use steemit.chat or discord @preparedwombat?
I am taskmaster4450 #9768 (I set up two on accident) on discord and of course, taskmaster4450 on steemit.chat.
A bit of a Luddite, I don’t use either. But check your wallet and see what it says for you compared to what it says at steemd.com
The # keeps things private.
now I am the Luddite...how do I log in to see it?
Do I need a different key?
It’s encrypted when seen on steemd.com or steemdb.com but should be in clear text when you’re logged in to Steemit and looking at your own wallet.
I screwed that all up...you will see when you look it....
Oh well...the message is right.
How do you encrypt?
It looked fine to me. But now I am once again having transfer issues:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@preparedwombat/am-i-the-only-one-having-a-hard-time-with-transfers
But I am onboard, just did 100% upvotes for two @eaglespirit posts.
It says log in to see memo...I am under my posting key...let me try anther key...see if that works
Ah I used another key and it worked...wow you do learn something everyday on here..
Yes I do...I will send you the reply and if you agree,....I will update the post.
one hand wash the other hand..........this is good initiative ...they will remember you for what you have done to them.. ...they will help you in future if you need(i know ...you are doing this without any expectation) ... as @fulltimegeek said ..giving is recieving ...good job @taskmaster4450
Great iniative ! I am blessed to have the opportunity to power up my account externally and it makes all the difference. Although with very limited SP, I try to upvote and help newcomers fell more welcome ! Keep it up,@taskmaster4450 ! Great work :)
Pretty well done @Taskmaster4450
As soon as I have enough power of my own to help, I'm going to enlist in your army of helpful folks :D
I do believe in what you guys are doing and want to help out... I know that for 3rd world countries, one or two votes can change the lives of whole families.
Keep up the good work!
Hey MAX! I want YOU to be my first apprentice in this program, is that OK with you?
You will maintain use of the delegation the whole time, until you achieve the 1,000 SP level in your own account. Plus a week, most likely LOL! It takes a week to revoke delegated SP. All I ask beyond that is that you then sponsor one of your own, which I know you are already agreeable to do!
LMK here, and then Task-Master will see it as well.
What's LMK?
Sure man, it would be an honor to be the Apprentice of a Sith Lord like you.
LMK = Let Me Know ;)
OK! IT'S OFFICIAL!!! :D
Love this idea @taskmaster4450. Not sure if you already have all the Dolphins you need or not, but I would love to join in your initiative and "adopt" someone. Let me know how I can help?
Thank you @bigpanda.
Are you on steemit.chat or discord?
I am taskmaster4450 on both of them. Lets chat some and see if we can line someone up for you...
Thanks for joining the initiative.
Cool, I'm on both. I just messaged you from steemit.chat. Thanks for having me on board.
great initiative!
Wow taskmaster, I'm so grateful for this! You really made a great holiday day even better for me. I plan on becoming a regular poster and will do my best to create a successful blog and pay any success forward to others. The Steemit community is one of the best I've found and I look forward to adding value to it, helping others, and learning from great people established in the community like yourself.
Thank you for the support!
You are welcome @jakeybrown.
Just let me know if you can do one or two posts a day. I understand time being tight with the family and other obligations.
I will do my best to crank out a post a day, I have a lot of writing that I never finished up into complete blog posts that I can pull from and will start the habit of writing posts in my free time. I have a fulltime job and a baby, but this should be doable.
I added you on discord and will get steemit chat going, right now it's not loading for me, is there anything else I need to know other than post everyday?
Great Respect to you. Your activity proves that Steemit has a lot of kind and sympathetic people. And if you are a beginner, do not despair if you have not noticed. Continue to generate high-quality content, your articles and comments and you will noticeably notice.
Good luck to you and good.
Indeed a great idea. We should help each other so that as a whole we can make Steemit a great place. As you mention Steem has the potential to pass $100 mark and in order to do that Steemit plays a major role. And with the community development Steemit will get more and more stronger. Nice work everyone who adopted a minno.
Cheers!
This is a great project and thank you guys for supporting us. Somehow I feel more confident now and will try my best to make my content even better in the future :)
Congratulations @hanen....I am very happy for you....
I am sure you will put up wonderful content and are a real asset to this site.
Very cool! Lucky people that you have chosen. Good luck to all and happy holidays. I love seeing working to help in others in all things. One day I hope to do the same for the Steemit community. A breath of fresh air. xx
See, it isnt all the negativity you encountered from those that you mentioned on the other comment.
It is just a matter of finding the right people.
Yessssss so right! (:
Way Cool!
I have initiated some things on my own, I have a "reply here and get a 100% upvote" going for about 25 people, and I have granted an exciting new steemer some delegation, of over 500 SP to use. But your idea really will help them, and Quick! I like this, what levels of usable SP are required? I have plenty delegated out.
You have enough..just need to exceed 1000 SP....
The idea is for you to help that person get to 1000SP and hopefully they will adopt someone while you add another person so we have two running.
SBD pricing is helping more things quicker...just need to have someone who is willing to power up and posts.
Let me know who you choose so I can put it together in a post...give you and that individual a few eyeballs on you.
Let me know who you choose
Hmmm I had not given it any thought as of yet, I should make a post for applicants...
oh, maybe I have one.
LOL Finding people who fit the requirements isnt too difficult.
If you want, I have one that could use the support if you dont have anyone.
Either way, would love to have your assistance.
Well, the gentleman I contacted is powering down, so that would have to be reversed. He is using steemit for short term income it seems, and I left a message that a 1000 SP account is much better at earning than a 47 SP account. I will take one of yours if he does not respond soon, or is not into it. Prolly Monday, TM! I will keep you Posted!

I love your idea of spreading a helping hand and adopt a person that meets your criteria. Hopefully, in time, other big fishes will join your initiative. Such a grand cause!

I am trying my best in helping the newbies also and I wish to join you as soon as i reach my 1000SP but still striving for 500 for now.A helping hand. What a great idea sir @taskmaster4450.

How can i be adopted...to be honest i get people sign up to steemit all the time and this might even stop because i can't assit them. My Sp is just 15.

Also i recieve links on whatapp evryday by newbies for an upvotes but how bt i can't provide what they want because i don't have....i wish i can direct them to u lol...also to be honest i don't post all the time but if it what it takes to do this then am ready..not just for my sake but for the sake of others...thank you...i hope u reply @taskmaster4450
