Dear Fellow Steemians, I have joined the @shadowbot community a few weeks after it started. (I even remember how did I get t know about it: I was scrolling over the new posts on steemit when I bumped into a post by @mrwalt talking about @shadowbot. I liked the idea, and joined immediately.)
By that time I was new to Steemit, I had app. 25-30 SP, so I was a very very small minnow. The system is built up in a very fair and reasonable way that it helps everybody grow. Look how much I could contribute so far and how much I contribution received from @shadowbot, as you see there is a huge gap - I received much more than I could give away:

Now I have 627 SP and I am still growing from the upvotes I receive everyday. Nowadays I maybe can contribute more than at the beginning, when my upvotes were useless... But I really would like to be a useful member of this community, because this is a COOL place to be!
So I truly admire the great work what the @shadowbot guys are doing, all the developments so far were fantastic, so it's good to be part of it!
