This is going to be fast, almost forgot what day of the week it is. This week things are staying the same as last week. We will have the same rules for level 55 and below for who can be featured.
Thank you all for finding some great steemians last week and showing that moving to level 55 can work and opens the doors to some added quality posts that deserve to be featured!
Before we get started I want to share a little news and ask that everyone lend a hand to someone who not only has helped this contest, but I consier a friend.
@kaliju needs help from the community!
There are many people who run around helping others all the time without asking for anything in return. From what I have seen @kaliju is one of those people. Right now he is faced with a very large medical bill due to an emergency surgery and he needs some help. Please at the very least visit all of his active posts and give upvotes. As you read this post asking for help you can decide what you can afford to do or not do.
Contest Date Range
This contest run from Tuesday 07/17/18 until 07/21/18 at 11:59pm CST (USA, Chicago). The winners will be announced on Wednesday 07/18/18 at 12:01am
Week 16 Rules (Staying with Level 55)

- Curation Style Post of 2 Bloggers who are posting Quality Original Content

We had some very cool featured authors this week. I was extremely excited to see so many new writers. Thanks to everyone for keeping this train rolling.

You got that curie vote and look at you giving back! Really good to see and it's also a great investment in yourself long term. The SBI votes really do start to add up.

My Review Me Profile if anyone wants to add to it:
https://steemit.com/reviewme/@thedarkhorse/my-reviewme-profile-please-leave-your-feedback-about-thedarkhorse
@thedarkhorse has set 2.000 SBD bounty on this post!
What is a bounty exactly?
A bounty is money sent to a post to be distributed to the users commenting on it. It provides a way to reward users directly and works in addition to the steem/sbd they receive from the blockchain. It works independently of SteemPower.
You create a bounty by sending any amount of sbd/steem to @steem-bounty together with a post-url in the memo.
How can I earn a bounty Users are then competing for the bounty by writing their answers to the post in comments that will achieve upvotes from the community and especially the bounty creator. The money of the bounty gets distributed to all top level comments of the post at the same time when the post is paid out (7 Days after it was written). How much everyone gets depends on the votes the comments received. The sender of the bounties votes are weighted higher so that she decideds where 80% of the bounty money goes and all other votes determine the rest.@steem-bounty does all of this for you automatically. You can use this service to automatically pay out a challenge, ask a hard question or simply to reward the people that interact with you.
Read more about how it works, even in different languages here.
Congratulations to the following winner(s) of the bounty!
I really feel for @kaliju. (I autovote him anyway.)
My mother had a surgery on her wrist. Three bones... but required in order to maintain mobility.
$25,000! (About $18,000 was rent on the stupid room!) Medical care in this country may be world-leading, but it kills the working class with the bills.
I had a friend who was dying of cancer last year... $40,000 PER treatment!!!
$18,000 for the room out of a total of $25,000! Wow!!!
Hope your mother is recuperating well, @vikiing-ventures.
Upside down.
Medical care all over most of the world needs a complete overhaul. Can't wait for we Earth people to be ready to finally make it happen. Resources and knowledge are there. Will is not.
Totally with you on that one!
Yes, my mother seems to be well now, it's been a couple of years since then, but they still have bills to pay for that one.
When everyone has "insurance," medical companies can charge whatever they like.
You got a 30.75% upvote from @ocdb courtesy of @thedarkhorse!
Dear all, I am committed to human-curation and finally found you guys! How can I help/participate?
b.b.
Glad to hear you are supportive of curation. First I would suggest visiting the entries of the contest which I list at the bottom of the post above to make it easier. These entries each feature 2 blog posts the curator felt deserved a little more attention. If you like the posts let them know with a comment and votes.
Next we are in the process of building up @pifc account to become the home for the Curation Contest and other contests designed to help smaller members grow. Long term I have some thoughts on what I'd like @pifc to become, but for now the focus will be on helping new members come onto steemit and have opportunities to earn some SBI shares or other prizes. So any support on the @pifc posts is very appreciated.
I miss this week contest
Next week will launch in about an hour. Set to autopost at 11:01am my time or in 1hr 5 minute.
Ok thanks
You could still visit the entries and their featured bloggers. It's a GREAT way to engage with others and become part of the community. More interaction you have the more support you will get in the long run. Can't stress this enough: Give First and Then Receive.
I would have love to do that, but my steempower is small can't do anything to them
This week I won't be a sponsor. I will probably not even post for a while. I will not be entering this contest this week. Sorry.
Just let me know who I should give last week SBI share to...
Sorry to hear that.
I see your rep hasn't been so severely screwed up this time. Ya gotta watch that guy - normally that one (not mentioning names) is a force for good, I've found out recently... I guess you managed to piss him off on a bad day. Sorry it happened to you again though.
Hello there. I am not discussing that any longer.
I would rather take this to Discord if you don't mind. Where I can talk more freely... viking-ventures #2883
Good call.
Understandable. If you are going to not post for a bit make sure to put your VP to use with some autovotes.
Yes, I have a couple of AutoVotes set up. One is for @pifc, the other for @steembasicincome and for a couple of friends. No point in wasting my VP by letting it sit at 100%, right?
so sorry to hear that.. why would a whale downvote a minnow? that's bad whale! hope that you will get back to your seat again @trincowski... or you want me to post for you.. hehehe, I'm kidding. you should share us about this experience later, so we can learn from you how to cope with it too. wish that another whale would upvote your posts and comments to help you.
Hello there, @cicisaja! Thanks for your comment.
Flagged for being a whiny bitch. Are you incapable of learning??
