Our #newbieresteemday has a member @amariespeaks that has money burning a hole in her pocket! She is going to give away a prize on her "Minnow Mondays" program this week! So she asked me what you all would most like to receive. What would motivate you to do really well and make a great post so she could give away this prize?
So I decided to help her out and come straight to the souce, you! ;)

A) Have a Steem Basic Income Membership for life?
B) Have delegated to you 50 SP for 2 weeks to help with bandwidth issues?
(source)
I'd rather have A. the basic income membership just for the fun of trying out the concept risk free.
thank you for your answer @mtnmeadowmomma. :)
@davemccoy My suggestion is giving a little of that Steem power for minnows.I am sure they would love it no matter how much it is.
Cool thanks for the feedback @phillip20steem! That's exactly what kind of response that I was looking for, on both sides of the issue!
For me, it would be much better if the winner will choose the prize that depends on his/her needs. Let's say for example contestant Z won and the prize is the letter A however it doesn't fit to his need so he might feel less saticfaction on it. Having options with the prize is also one way to attract. Cheers!
Thats actually a clever solution @kennethcyril! I like it and will relay it to @amariespeaks.. She might like it too as she's believes in being free! ;)
I like this idea as well! Even though the comments so far seem to favor the SteemBasicIncome but if we let the winners choose then they get what they want no matter what !
I figured you might! ;) ...
Its kinda cool to get the other's opinions on this isn't it? A few of the responses have surprised me too! :)
definitely! I'm thinking of doing a 'themed' MinnowMondays to make a more fair judging of who's the "winner"
I like how your mind works! Its a factory of innovation! :)
thank you! my small factory pales in comparison to your industrial power house though! ;-)
I agree it would be a great idea to allow a winner to choose which prize would fit them most.
If you just start out, the SP could be of great help, because I read a lot of stories about bandwidth issues, and two weeks might not seem much, but a whole lot happens in 2 weeks, and it could just make the difference for a lot of people.
Others, who have been around longer, or have invested some money in their account, are probably more interested in @steembasicincome shares, because the 50SP would make little or no difference for them...
thanks for your input as always @simplymike :)
Thanks for appreciating my opinion guys!:')
A - I think that @steembasicincome has a great idea that helps you and others at the same time so a win win.
Great!!!! Thank you so much @insideoutlet!!! And you get a newbie nickel for your nice input and to have a great extended holiday!!!
B, I wan't a break to him, so that I can do more, 2 weeks is yipeee... so I choose that he vanish...whoozzz 😂
hahaha... good to get your opinion @sweetcha!!!
I yes lets get that guy bandwidth and kick him in the you know where for 2 weeks ;)
That'll teach him to mess with my favorite girl ;)
Hey
Hey Sweet Joy! nice to see you again! I have missed you on all the wonderful games going on over at #newbiegames!
Haven't been the same after that near death experience. Lol
I'm back now baby, and with a little more fire. Lol. Joy
wow... I didn't know you had a near death experience... Are you ok now???
And glad to see you back :) ... you have many games to catch up on that should keep you busy... go to #newbiegames and lots to play!!! ;)
Glad you are back!
that is the best breakup ever haha...seeing him often is really a mess 😂
lol... yes glad you have straighten him out, I knew one day you would be rid of him for good ;)
I think it would be more beneficial for the prize to be the 50SP loan.
Thanks Gene! I appreciate the feedback... We were having the discussion and then I said why don't we just ask and see what everyone says! Thanks :)
Hey Gene... here is another article for you to look at that someone thought you might think is "curie" material. Just passing the info along in the event that you can use it ;)

I have been following for a bit now. I am sure at some point I will get one in from them. This one being round three may have complicated things as the reviewer may have needed to go back and read the previous parts. Like I said though, one of them will get the vote at some point, even if it is another curator swooping in because I hesitated too much.
ok cool... thanks for the feedback ... I will pass that along! :)
Here's another awesome artist you might like to submit!
https://steemit.com/newbieresteemday/@claudiart/hello-friends-these-are-new-drawings-you-like-3
I started following her the other day. Love her art! I spent a lot of time on the post I found the other day, and on this post here. I was ready to submit them both but then while doing the digging finally found at least one piece from each of her posts previously listed on her Facebook page.
I would love to see her do something brand new and post it here first. Whether it be just an artwork, or one of the process videos she has done in the past on YouTube. As long as she winds up posting something that isn't already somewhere else I will get her the vote at some point.
did you tell her or would you like me to?
Probably be better if you did. She has a lot of potential for sure.
Gotcha... thanks and I will give her the words of encouragement!
If I were a newbie, I would probably want the 50SP for a week. Yes, it's short-sighted, but a lot can change in 2 weeks, and not having bandwidth issues alone is worth a fair amount. That could allow an enterprising person to make enough meaningful connections that it could be worth more than cost of the SBI membership. Also, if a person doesn't post often, they're not able to extract as much value out of the SBI.
I think the SBI is a better long-term investment, but you have to be disciplined about posting. 50SP would be a short-term fix, so you'd want to use it wisely. Hint: not worth it to just upvote yourself with 50SP.
Arch, is that you??? I've missed you Arch! :)
Thanks for weighing in, it helps alot to get opinions like this that show how the minds of people vary! Glad to see you Arch and always appreciate your opinions!
Yeah, buddy, it's me. I didn't want to override people, so I tried to just give a little perspective. Whoever wins will have to make their own choice and they'll have to have their own reasoning for why they chose it. I like getting people information to make those decisions.
See you around!
yep... that is perfectly right! I'm thankful that you weighed in a gave others something to think about !
In the spirit of Steemit I think it would be better to receive the 2weeks of SP rather than become somewhat dependent upon a continuous "income". The 2 weeks blessing motivates one, while the other is appreciated it is not quite the same.
At current prices.. I calculated I'd need 66 SP to give a 0.02 upvote... sad...
Option A is kinda hard to manage right?
no its not hard to manage. If you don't do anything after you get it, you still get roughly a $0.01 upvote on every post.
Thanks for the input @mistermercury, that's exactly the thing I was looking for... ie how you all look at the situation! Thanks for the feedback, @amariespeaks is excited!
I think the sp is good for a boost. It takes so long to build your rep and see nice rewards. Great ideas. Thanks for sharing and caring @amariespeaks. Joy
thank you for your input @sweetjoy <3
good job @amariespeaks! keep that encouragement going :)
you are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)
Yes. Thanks for asking. :). Joy
The Basic Income for Life...
BTW, since I "have you on the phone"
@Plushzilla told me I should try to submit my first contest to @newbiegames
Thanks for all you do @davemccoy!
haha you can consider yourself connected! I resteemed it in the @newbieresteemday. :)
@plushzilla is a great guy! on getting the exposure I have a few more ideas if you want to experiment with me... are you on discord yet? If not, then here is our server and you can join it here:

and if you want to contact me directly in there I am at davemccoy#2479
First of all,I really dont understand what steembasic income is all about
there's a link on the post, I will copy it here for you so that you understand Anna! And how are you doing with the greeting, have you been still doing it??? If so, let me know your thoughts.. I'm interested!
Here is the link to @steembasicincome
https://steemit.com/basicincome/@steembasicincome/steem-basic-income-a-complete-overview
I would choose A:-) @basicincome
I post and do voting almost everyday and have enough bandwidth to work with. Upvotes for life will in the long run give a lot more back than option b.
Thanks for weighing in Coach! By the way I met another coach here yesterday... I love the coaches, you all have the right attitudes!
Thanks, and you have the right spirite to be an ambassador and promoter:-) that is very good skills:-) keep it up👍
see, good coach!!! :)
I think A is better at this point. Option B is better for people who are already writing good posts
Thanks for the feedback @sinlg... And I have a question based on how you phrased that. Do you think you aren't writing good posts? (I ask that not to be funny, but to understand what is in your mind because I've found you do great posts).
You got a 4.35% upvote from @ipromote courtesy of @davemccoy!

I agree with @kennethcyril
Let the winner decide.
People have different preferences and needs
Hey @scandinaviaguide! I appreciate the feedback! I think everyone has given @amariespeaks good food for thought! It is really cool to hear what each person thinks!
you're right @davemccoy it is really cool to see how everyone thinks!
@davemccoy, I am a sucker for "water imagery"!
I think that's what happens when a person is born on an ISLAND, 11 degrees north of the equator - hehe
"A Waterfall of Sustainability"
"Imagine @steembasicincome as a pool of SP, spraying out basic income to all the members."
Because of the water, my choice is ...
A) Have a Steem Basic Income Membership for life?
Hope you are fast asleep, @davemccoy ... It's 1:11 AM in the "Jewel of the Canadian Rockies"!
haha... I love your analogy @kismet2018! You have a way of putting your thoughts on paper and really making an impact! and yes I was asleep and maybe one day I can visit the "Jewel of the Canadian Rockies", it sounds like it would be beautiful!
I'd rather have B. I'm a bit fixated on getting my SP to 500 so I can use the slider on Steemit and spread my more around more effectively. I'm using it on Busy but it's not as streamlined as I expect it to be here.
cool @gillianpearce, thanks for the input! I agree that getting the slider is a much easier way to set your vote values and save lots of time! :) @amariespeaks is watching all the responses and I think it is all helpful!!!
I'm getting used to using the Busy slider now but it's an extra step to go there when I'd rather stay on Steemit. I'll give the Chrome extension a try today and, meanwhile, keep plodding on to my 500SP. 😊
Good, let me know how the busy slider works, I have lots of people ask about it!
It works well @davemccoy. The Busy notificiations are a bit iffy. Some seem to get missed and it's an extra step to there to do my upvoting because I prefer working in Steemit generally. The slider is good tough. You just need to make sure you change your settings and save them.
I couldn't get it to work at first and it was because I didn't realise you have to save the settings, no tjust change them.
gotcha @gillianpearce that is definitely good information! Thanks for sharing it with me and I will be glad to pass it around and help others!
Have you tried the Steemplus extension?
It also allows you to use the slider.
I haven't no. I'll have a look at it tomorrow, Thanks.
Next to the SteemPlus extension, there’s another way to get the slider even if you are a minnow. I made a post about it when I was still using my old account. You can read it here: A Post Vote Slider For Minnows & Monetizing Old Posts - It Is Possible!.
You can also use busy.org or the esteem app, both have the slider as a basic feature
Thanks @simplemike. I've installed the extension and am using busy.org for now. 😊
cool @simplymike that's something I have never seen either!
and you are amazing, in pain and still recovering and still helping others! :)
Thanks. i’m trying :0)
I was thinking about you. I hope you are doing ok and recouperating!

STOPI'm with @kennethcyril below; let the winner decide. It's a bit like The Price is Right...door #1 or door #2 ? :)
Great analogy! I didn't know that farmgirls in Mexico even knew about Price is Right :P
hahaha El precio esta bien
...now imagine I have overalls and a sombrero on ;)
A series on Oracles. What are they, where does one find them, and can one use any other than the Tarot, that will work as well if differently?
--I'm not sure how this might be presented as inviting, exciting or competitive, but @amariespeaks has my vote 👍👌
Resteemed.
Hey @simon62... I am not sure about the Tarot but you know more than I do for sure about it! I do know that @amariespeakes is awesome and anyone who likes her can't be too bad ;)
Thanks for the upvote and resteem and I hope to stay in touch with you!!! :)
G'day @davemccoy I might not have asked you, but I did ask someone, of the fifty names in @newbiegames that can be entered in the grid lotto, competition, where do I find the list. Or more to the point as I'm computer dumb, how do I find that list, please. Did I see one of your posts or Asher's, with that list, please? Thank-you.
ohh @simon62 I will have to keep that in mind! thank you!
Resteemed this.
😂 😂 😂 Alba gu brath !
Oracles at amarie
Show me your sbd
--no, no more doggerel. Let's be more cultural.
-whoops! 😂
Stories, short precis, or 60,000 characters¿ of Oracles that one might have visited, met, used, and have been true to you in their predictions.
--Fac et spera.
haha @simon62... I'm sure not sure of your point but I think you have passion! So that is something I respect my man! :)
