Thanks! Happy to see you took part too, you are one of the very few people who react to my posts. I am curious how will this experiment work. If yes, I will be happy to create exclusive sculpt only available on Steemit. I just helped with randowhale, but that's all for bots on this post. I hope it will get some traction thanks to resteems. If free prize and resteems from real people can't earn fairly small amount, then, I don't believe that quality posts make a difference for users other than early adopters with whale friends.
Waiting for your series about sculpting and the results of your work. I hope you will be rewarded for the effort.

We'll see! My Sculpey order arrives on Wednesday. I'll have to play around and brush the dust off my skills before I get started on the main project, but that shouldn't take long. I look forward to diving into molds; that will be a new experience for me. I got the idea while browsing DeviantArt. The artist sold some copies through DeviantArt, so I thought I'd see how something like that would fare on Steemit. I'll be making a post of future ideas that I'll be publishing here, and that's one of them. The idea is the series of sculpting posts would build attention for the project, then by the time it's finished there will be some people awaiting the post sharing the final product. Then, depending on how much attention and interest there is, I'll find a method to offer it for sale (or auction?) and buy with Steem, or maybe open it up to paying with other cryptos too? If you can't tell, it's still very much in the conceptual phase. :)
Like you mentioned, I also have a small handful of real people that consistently comment on my posts. I've gotten kind comments saying I post great content, but trying to piece together why some fall flat and others get a big boost from bots, etc, etc... Yeah, it's confusing. I understand you wanting to get some results to see if Steemit is worth your time, especially if you feel you're putting more in than is benefiting you. For myself, I've enjoyed the few connections I've made so far in the community being a fairly new user, and it's giving me an excuse to do the creative things I enjoy that I otherwise might not devote as much time into. Making some crypto (however minor) is a nice little incentive, but putting all this together I've decided to give Steemit my efforts for the long-term. I haven't pulled the trigger yet on investing real USD into Steem Power though. I'm hoping there'll be more info on the future development and support of this platform after Steemfest2 that will give some confidence to buy Steem Power.
I just lost my long reply because of Steemit crashed, I pressed post comment, something was loading for a long while and didn't submit. I hope improvement will be on on the agenda during the SteemFest not only drinking and formation of secret Steem societies :)
Good to know you already ordered the material, that means you are committed to the project. Just start it as soon as you can and start posting. It is great strategy to get some attention and also will keep you accountable, you will have to finish when others are looking. That is psychological trick :) And yes, it should be possible to sell your work here. I didn't experience it yet, but had at least one request for work through every social media channel. Currently working on prototype of the toy for the guy who found me on Behance, even if I just started profile there with 2 photos and never finished updating it :)
This post starts looking promissing. It is probably record of vews for me without number of votes from steemfollower. Will give it a chance. So far put 300euro into Steem at high rate. Planned to wait until 10usd anyways. It is another long term investment, like every failed short term investment I made so far :)
Yeah, the recent stability issues on Steemit.com have been going on too long. I resteemed a post by a witness I follow about this issue and it sounds like it's high on his agenda to bring this up at SteemFest2; he'll be attending. It is discouraging that posts are taking a long time to go through and sometimes getting lost, but I'm holding out in the hopes things will be resolved after SteemFest2. Guess we'll see.
I'm hoping this post makes it too, because I'd love for you to stay with the community here and ... well... I want to win! haha. I threw a little SBD at a booster to help bring it along more than my upvote can.
I started using busy.org today because of that but still would like them to work on the issues.
I saw your goat ;) thanks for that. It probably pushed it higher in trending. Will see if this still works. Going to bed. I wish I could see target reached in the morning ;) good luck with the draw!
