Looking For New Candidates!
The immense impact we've had... The successful pushes we've done and the outstanding generosity and support has been almost overwhelming. But we need more.
I am sorry to say this, but it's nearly impossible for me to browse through hundreds of Steemians each week to find a good candidate eligible for a community push. @abh12345 gave me a great list of people with 500 or less Steem Power and I've been following @paulag's Redfish Power UP League in an attempt to find eligible candidates... But even with such awesome sources, it's extremely difficult to find a suitable user.
Take A Look At This:
People We've Pushed:
Users who've reached minnow-status due to our community effort.
@davemccoy | @insideoutlet | @phoenixwren | @kaerpediem | @empress-eremmy
Generous Pushers:
Users who've participated in one or more "community pushes."
I will continue to publish the list of users who've participated in this, so if you for any reason don't want me to tag you in these posts, just let me know in the comments below and I'll stop. Due to this, I have and might have to exclude some individuals from the list in the future. In case I missed anyone, please let me know and I'll update the list.
What We Are Looking For:
We only push active people who are dedicated and spam-free. The users we push must have less than 500 Steem Power, but preferably more than 450. (Especially during the early stages, as we lack the necessary support to push people with less than 450 SP.) - We will not push people who're in the middle of a power down as that will be contradictory to our entire purpose. Reputation score doesn't matter, but people who're repeatedly getting flags will not be eligible for a community push.
Hi there, @davemccoy, @lyndsaybowes, @empress-eremmy, @thedarkhorse, @deirdyweirdy, @headchange and @preparedwombat
Thanks, guys! With your contributions and my unclaimed rewards, I have just reached Minnow Status.
Congrats! Annoyed I missed it!
Congratulations @trincowski!
YESS!!! That's aWESOME!!!!
Congratulations @trincowski 😊
Congratz on the minowstatus... i am 441 i hope to be a minnow soon.
i wish you well and have a great weekend.
greetz from holland
Awesome! Very very happy to see that :D
@trincowski has my vote too. We could just do this in the comments of this one and have it done in an hour...just saying. 13 steem is nothing with all the amazing people we have here.
Looks like @preparedwombat already started:
4.5 of 13 taken care of
He's doing a great job in the Steem Monster community, my admiration and respect for @davemccoy
Thank you very much @the01crow :) ... that admiration and respect for you on my part is also a fact! :)
Hi thanks for tagging me. I know that @Trincowski is at 487 right now.
He is very active in the @pifc Pay it forward community. He also works hard to support many artist on the platform through votes resteems and features.
Looks like @preparedwombat already started:
Feel free to recommend any other Steemians you can think of.
I'm jumping on @trincowski... I hope you make it official so you get it in your "win" column!
wow I better go jump on the bandwagon then. This is great how fast things move once you get them rolling.
Thanks again for starting such a generous project. Also congrats on success so far.
Will keep an eye out for good candidates. I know @janton is at 394 so maybe soon.
Also @viking-ventures is at 405 so will soon be eligible.
Hehe yeah, I'm keeping track of @viking-ventures. :)
Sounds like I need to base a character on you... ;-)
you are being trailed hahaha
@paintingangels is at 460.
♥♥♥♥
I don't need a push, upvotes etc...literally all I need is a follow...busy.pay will do the rest ;D
Busy.org where followers are monetized! ;)
Thanks for all the support and dedication!
I've heard about busy.pay, but I don't know any details. You get upvotes based on your followers SP or something, right? 1 upvote per 24 hours or whatever if you publish a post with the tag busy?
In case I am right about the followers-thing... Wouldn't that ultimately endorse follow-for-follow type of deals? Or at least make it lucrative for follow-beggars in general?
How much are the votes worth?
You're right about it. It's hard to get too far with follow-for-follow because it's based on followers' vests, though, and you need quite a few to get votes. The vote percentage from busy/pay is half of one billionth of your follower vests, which you can find at https://steemdb.com/api/accounts?account=hitmeasap under "followers_mvest". My Busy vote is 34c, it looks like yours would be about 16c. @thedarkhorse would be about 30c.
Is it purely for using their tag? or do you need to actually post on busy?If you need to post on busy how much are they taking per post off the top?
I think you can get it for just using the tag, though I post on Busy because there's no reason not to. They don't take a beneficiary.
Can you calculate how much I will get if I use the busy tag, Tim? ^^
Around 14c.
It's not bad actually :o.
I tried posting using busy twice but they actually never give me anything. Weird.
Anyway, thank you for the calculation :).
It's hard to find any info on this busy.pay-thing. Just post through busy.org and use the 'busy' tag? And then be lucky enough to get an upvote? Is that any different from ow it as a couple of months ago?
It confuses me that there's so little info to be found...
Man i am curious to about busy.pay... Can u give me a link to its intoduction or any post ?? Or make 1 yourself? I think as a plankton it will help me a lot.

You are exactly right!
I get around 30 to 50 cents every 24 hours depends on the Steem price, used to be every 12 hours...
no follow to follow schemes because the amount of SP of your followers should amount to over a million if am not mistaken and over 10 million for a 14$ upvote or something like that... which is what I am trying to get at ;)
this can only encourage authentic work and is a motivation for new starters...
busy.pay is only one account imagine if steemit has a steemit.pay account or a bunch of whales delegate SP to serve the entire growing users of steemit? I think it is a sound system that could make steemit a powerful platform
Busy has been doing it for an year now I believe...it works! @thedarkhorse
@kingyus when you reply please tag me so I read this. I'm curious about it too.
Do you have to actually post through busy or can you just post via steemit and use the busy tag?
Posted using Partiko Android
you can try it and if it doesn't upvotes you in a couple of hour then go to busy
Personally I tag it on busy.org just to make sure but since it is the same blockchain it should go through on both platforms ;)
OK thanks - will experiment and see how it goes. They take a cut of yer payout if you post through the platform don't they?
Posted using Partiko Android
they did it to promote their platform... I don't believe they take a cut but I believe busy.pay has been growing so they must have some kind of a curation reward for sure especially if your post gets upvoted by others too
I am going to suggest that those who need the most help are not people who are benefiting from extra delegations at the moment - if these delegations bump them into the minnow (or better) territory.
For example, I'm currently benefiting from three separate delegations bumping me into minnow territory. If these expire before I'm there natively, then I'm worth pushing, for sure, but until then, I'd rather see a community push applied to someone who is almost there and has no delegations.
I tend to agree with you @viking-ventures. This is exactly in line with my own thinking at first, but I also believe that it could be a good idea to push the users with delegations, depending on the delegations, as it could potentially make us a new minnow and one could use the delegations on other users instead.
Alright! I'm ready to make another fish! 💪🏻
I'm trying to hit 100 on my @teenagecrypto account so i can help steemit newbies
Well, I missed @trincowski. Looks like that was too easy! Maybe we are ready to start pushing from below 450 now. Empress was a slightly tougher push, but it says a lot that we still got her there.
I've been through a few, but most are already at minnow or they're still not quite at 400 even. @doctorworm and @particleman update posts could be ones to keep an eye on though. @tcpolymath hand picks who he works towards dolphinhood and these are the two minnow maker levels.
PS: are we leaving the push with trincowski this week?
Yeah, it seems like it was an easy push and I'm glad that people were generous enough to start pushing him, even though it was not an official announcement. That shows the need and the powers behind a project like this.
Regarding people below 450 SP:
It might be doable, but I think we're still lacking the necessary support if I'm honest. I mean, we've had 5 successful pushes so far, 6 with @trincowski, which is really cool! We've also reached our goal within 17 hours each time. This one took about 5 hours.
However, if we look at the pushers for each user, we can see that @lyndsaybowes for instance, went crazy last time with an insane donation of 30 Steem. She is also one of the users who've been pushing people each time so far. The users who pushed @trincowski this time, have also helped us to push people previously, and even though I'm obviously extremely happy to see that, as it shows true commitment, we can't really expect Lyndsay to go big with 30 steem each time... And the initial idea is not to get the exact same group of people to push others each time. We want this to expand and grow, so others will jump on board too.
That being said, I think that we might be able to push more than one user per week, but it's extremely hard to find eligible people, and, I've set the limit to one push per week as I don't want us to rely on the same pushers each time. I don't want to take those generous pushers for granted in any way, and by trying to push multiple users per week might look like I do.
However, I might need to reconsider things, and especially about this specific push, as it was easy, in comparsion to previous ones.
Holy crap @lyndsaybowes! You are uber generous! I seriously thought it was just lots of little bits going to push them. Point taken Asap.
I know what you mean about how hard it is to find the right ones. Maybe one a week is enough for this alone.
Oh wow that was fast! I just saw the post and BAM! New minnow! Missed the party! When is the next one?
I'm not entirely sure yet. The initial idea is to push one person each monday, but this was a bit overdue. However, we might try with a second push this week, as this one were relatively easy.
great work as always, I love this initiative, have resteemed. you might consider @johnstone. Just came into the radar :-)
I helped inch @trincowksi 2.75 steem closer.... Let's push him everyone!
What???
I missed it!!
That was so fast ... wow
Will look out for the next 😊
I'm honestly more interested in the picture at the bottom of the article because now I want to spoon feed a coy.
I wanna join.... I am a plankton mate... I am not a professional photographer mate but i m trying to grow myself in every aspect. With your help it will be much smooth i wish! Plz guide me, rectify me and support me!
