MayBeAMinnow: Running for minnowhood

in #steem7 years ago

I think this is the third post I have done about #MayBeAMinnow, which is an attempt to build up some small accounts during next month. I could not wait, so I started a little early.

This is a fairly informal project in that I am not telling people what they should do, but I would love to see others make a similar effort for some period of their own choosing. The people I am supporting have already been bought some @SteemBasicIncome shares and now I am delegating some SP to them too. They can use that as they wish. They can even give themselves a bigger vote if they choose, but it would be cool to see them support each other.

The three I am supporting are all runners who I found via #RunningProject. I think they are all using @Actifit, which will give them extra votes as well as their own token. Small accounts should take advantage of any such schemes.

So what progress do we have so far? It has only been a few days, so let us not expect too much. I hope to see significant progress by the end of next month.

  • @run.vince.run has taken my advice to power up some of his Steem and SBD. He has not used all of it, but has still about doubled his SP to 233.
  • @marenontherun has not been posting much recently and so shows no change from 86 SP.
  • @xorb still just has a few SP, but a few posts should could maybe double that in the next week.

I really do not expect them all to become minnows next month, but they will be further along the way by then.

I am also supporting projects by others in a similar vein. @hitmeasap has the Minnow-ASAP that is supporting another five small accounts. These are @wakeupkitty, @heartbeat1515, @ammyluv, @sparkesy43, @tryskele. I have given them each a vote and bought them some SBI.

This really is not hard to do. Just pick a few people you want to support. I would say to find people who you can enjoy seeing on your feed. Given them a decent vote for each post, delegate to them and buy them some SBI. Two of those can benefit you too. Maybe you lose out on some potential curation rewards, but would you really miss them? I think it is far more important to build the community than to worry about what I make.

I should mention that I am attending a couple of events in the coming weeks. Tomorrow I will be at the Blockchain Expo in London that @redrica and @ultravioletmag have been checking out today. Free tickets are available. If you cannot get to the show then @redrica has organised a meetup in a nearby pub.

The other event is @SteemCampUK in Leicester on May 11th. This is organised by @lloyddavis and @shanibeer. It could be bigger than last year as @shanibeer has been talking to local organisations who could benefit from crypto.

Steem on and support the redfish!

No problem. I'm happy to help. This is part of how I give back to Steem

oooh! SteemCamp! I hope I can make it.....hmmm, I will have to check. Great work supporting others Steev! You were a great help to me and Im sure have continued to mentor many micro-steemies. You are a pillar of this community! :D

Would be great to see you again. This is just me giving back as I've had lots of help along the way

Wow! I am super thankful for this! I appreciate all you've done!

You are very welcome. Keep doing good stuff on Steem and success will find you

Its hard to find people interested in Steem in my surrounding. I think it is about not beeing familiar with crypto and social media,and the disbelieve of the platform in conjunction of getting 'paid' for content....its hard....

I'm not getting many new users, but if I help some of the new people build their accounts they may spread the word

I think that is the only right way,if new people spread the word to their friends and family...hopefully they join..

I think building it around certain interests is the way forward. See what @blewitt is doing with the #comics community.

I will have a look :) Thanks !!

hey @steevc, I have been working hard to learn more...Have powered up and used steem dollars to buy more power, so have just kicked over 334 SP. Thanks again for including me in this as it has been a good educational experience. I would think there are a lot of people like me, who have been on steem for a while but not 100% sure of everything.
Regards @run.vince.run

You will be a minnow in no time at this rate. Please ask if you are not sure about anything. I don't know it all, but can probably find someone with an answer.

Thank you very much. I feel honoured 💕

It definitely sounds like you have a lot going on in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully there is a great turn out for both events! It has got to be really cool to be able to meet and hang out with some of the people that you see on here every day.

Do you know of other Steemians in your area, apart from your other half? You could suggest a meetup and see who shows.

Not really, there are a couple here and there within the State, but I am not sure how many of them would actually come. I am a bit farther North than most of them. The closest one I have seen so far I kind of stopped following because their blog was a bit spammy.

Minor change to Minnow-ASAP: heartbeat1515 will shortly be replaced by another user. I need to look into your "maybeaminnow" thing in the nearest future as I have honestly missed almost verything about it.

It is really whatever you want it to be. I just want to see people with a bit of power supporting those who need it.
