🔝I am again giving 50% of this post's SBD after it pays out in 7 days.
The 3 entries having most upvotes not as a value but as a count of people who have upvoted them will equally share the PRIZE. Please do not beg others for upvotes and play fair.
🔝 If there are posts with equal upvote count they will again split their share. So it is very possible to have more than 3 winners.
ANY SUPPORT from WHALES 🐋 or DOLPHINS 🐬 to grow the contest’s prize pool would be much appreciated.

Thank you 😊
Here is my entry for this contest! The Origin and Importance of Cashew!

Thank you. Just dropped a comment under your post. :)
Youve just bid 7.69sbd worth $20 on a bid bot, ebargain whose max bid is $12 !! thus losing you money and wasting the money of the other people with small sensible bids...do you not use https://steembottracker.com/ or do you not understand how these bid bots work ? If you need help, let me know :-)
PS The problem with people voting for the winners is that they go on small microworking sites and buy upvotes. Just watch for linked voting patterns and good luck :-)
A huge mistake has happened. I set the transfer to 1 SBD and somehow transferred all my SBD to the bot. Probably caus I did it trough my phone. I know about the steembot tracker and the way bots work, thank you. Any suggestions on how to get back my SBD...probably there is no refund.
Already too late.. @ebargains has voted me.
oh no I'm sorry, I wondered if it could be an error as it was such an early vote. Good luck with your great competition and I hope you get a lot of notice and followers from your mistake.
Yeah let’s hope this mistake is for good. 😊 Once more thank you for your concern.
Must be the same mistake @bunnypuncher committed when he ended up transferring all of what he had on his wallet to me instead of just 1sbd.
Too bad for me I just saw this challenge. I just posted a factoid I just learned yesterday. Anyway, maybe next time. Good luck with this fun challenge!
To be hones this is happening second time to me. Only because I make the transfer trough the phone which obviously I need to stop doing.
And you still have enough time to join the contest. It is ending up on Sunday afternoon. You are very welcome to submit an entry.
Understandable. I do too many mistakes on my too just because of my fat fingers!

Here is my entry for Curious Facts Contest #9

Good luck! I have just dropped a comment under your post. 😊
Thankyou! I appreciated you! <3 @river-island will surely join with your contest :D
Thanks @river-island for keeping up with this contest. I love technology. I am an IT guy by career. So i love facts related to Information Technology. Here is the link to my entry: https://steemit.com/curiousfacts/@focusnow/facts-contest-9-in-windows-you-cannot-name-a-folder-con-here-is-why
And thank you for joining the contest and sharing some interesting technology facts. It's so nice to have a passion in certain topic and to write about it. :)
I have a suggestion, in the case of @hoosain and @josephlacsamana (myself) we are the Highest number of upvotes. We should have the highest prize even though we have the same upvotes.
Or you can change your rules, do not base on the number of upvotes. That's why a lot of minnows not joining in your contest because they know they're not famous to received 10 + upvotes.
Just a suggestion...
Thank you!
I know you've got a point my friend. And I am thinking how to change the rules. When I was starting the contest I didn't want to judge the posts myself and to pick them by once I like the most caus I didn't feel that is right. Thinking of finding some guest judges maybe or setting up some criteria for winning.
I will appreciate if you have any suggestions to share with me and I would defiantly consider them and change the rules.
Sorry for a late reply/response.
Maybe you need to specify a curios facts "ABOUT": a certain place, event, person, country, nature etc.
Minimum Fact 1 Maximum facts 3 per person.
for example.
Curious Facts about the Philippines #1
Rules
Give at least 1 fact maximum of 3 facts per person.
and you need to have a judge/s to choose the winner.
You can be that judge. or if you don't want to be a judge you can use a name picker :)
Random picker :D Hehehe.
so that all of minnows can join your contest :) no need to have big number of upvotes!
I am really considering your suggestions. Thank you so much for your support. Next contest definitely will follow some of your guidelines. :)
Thank you :) When is your next contest?
Probably I will make a new one on this Sunday if I have enough time reconsider the rules and structure them well. 😊
God bless you @river-island :)
