Another contest
I started a simple contest - so simple you won't know you are in it.
It's under the #takemyvotes tag, which has to do with the new frontrunner guild. By simply voting for this post (the one you are reading)you are entered.
Hours later, there will be between 50 and 200 big hitters voting on this post, which increases your curation -That's the prize!
You win simply by having many whales voting after you did. It is that simple.
(I take care of getting the whales here - don't worry about that)
You have about 24 hours till the whales come marching in (Until late Mon. Evening)
For more fun, it would be advisable to comment on this post as well.
As a second prize, I will be paying out 20 SBD for the best comment. I will look at number of votes received on your comment, highest dollar amount received and general originality.
I will decide who gets the prize, sometimes I split it.
Older contests I ran.
I used to delegate large whale votes to winners but now, I have moved my SP to an exchange where it's not so public.

Hi @htoom
Commenting is an integral part of steemit that many minnows choose to neglect, some also spam links and beg for upvote. This really happens because newbies do not get good orientation after joining steemit.
I have been able to make friends by just commenting nicely without begging for upvote and followers.
It's a big privilege to see @htoom advise we should comment on his post to get upvote for free. I so much believe he is trying to encourage us to learn how to read and comment nicely on people's post
Thanks for making it simple to get your vote and that of your friends. I love the fact that everyone gets to win #takemyvote #freegiveaway #contest
This is surreal! Great opportunity for us all and a larger one for you. we all win in the end as the whales will increase the value fo this one for us all. Strange and true! By the looks of it, you are only warming up to better and better contests. Awesome!!!
Thanks for the great offer, keep your smile, take good care thrive on and Steem on! Namaste :)

Great job dear friend @htooms congratulations for what you do on the platform, thank you very much for motivating and rewarding people.
Signing in.........
@htooms,
Honestly, I feel you. You have just educated me unknowingly. Thank you for being such a good friend and my personal excellent writer. REALLY, one day, when I grow up, I want to be special and more than you but close to you and even closer than you.
Let me come and be going to checkout the contest sharply.
Just wait for me here. I will be back.

Wondering what type of comment you are expecting...
do i have to say like .. "Hey, what an amazing opportunity you are giving us.. thank you So much".
Or should i play it casual and just act like i don't even care.. like... "meh!.. whatever. "
Or should i be like a super experienced steemian and go.. "It is is very nice what you are doing Sir, Adding so much value to our groundbreaking community , soon to become bigger than facebook and instagram . together. Creating meaningful content and providing assistance to all the minnows who are much in need of assistance and guidance, kuddos on such a nice initiative! "
Or maybe i can be like the people who won't even bother reading you but still say stuff like " nice post, check my blog too"
Or should i just say something even worse like " upvote for upvote?"
Let me know what approach is the best, so i will go with it, see you around.. and yes.. thank you for doing this kind of nice stuff for the community. Have an awesome day!
Great comment actually. - The contest ended about 10 hours ago, but I would be asking the same questions if I were you. The last two don't get votes. from me let alone win a contest.
You want t a comment that has to do with the post and that grabs the attention of the others who are reading them. I Liked the one by Papa-pepper because I know his style and it's all him. But I could not give him the prize because the winner was chosen by YOU - the participants.
I am the final judge in cases where there are so many that I can't say which I like best. But I keep it fair.
As far as comments go? Do what sticks out , what others will vote on, just like any other post.
Haha thank you. I appreciate it.. yeah.. i was just joking haha, being sarcastic about the kast 2 lol.
Tgank you again for reading and replying back to me . Have a great evening :)
You are great friend,what an awesome job. Thanks my friend for your great job. Wish you a very beautiful time ahead .
i just follow you and upvote your post
In this world no one will slap you for free :p who would leave free votes :D
Thank you for posting @htooms.
Looks like you have generated excitement as usual.....Steemians are always happy to see you around.
Your enthusiasm is appreciated.
Wishing you all the best. Cheers.
I didn't loose it when I was over bernie's knee and I am certainly not losing it now. Pumped!
I like your comment))))
Hehe
Hi @htooms
This is what i call getting a whaleshare getting a share of a whalevote but interestingly we are getting this whale share without actually getting a whale vote this is an awesome way to give out to the minnows, if you give a minnow 10sbd or more he might decide to withdraw it instantly which would not add anything to his growth in the community but giving them a huge curation reward thats of great benefit to his steemit journey I really love this giveaway.😋😋😋😋
What a pleasure to read from you as usual mate! You always make things so easy for everyone here on the platform, just vote on your post and we all win!
What a great way to help all those minnows out there like myself!
You rock mate, looking forward to the big upvotes coming up to make my week!
This is just awesome my friend! What a wonderful way to make some bucks thanks to this simple and easy contest!
I definitely have to try my luck out mate, winning some votes will be so beneficial for me to make up some prizes for the weekly contest I run on steemit.
You are just great!
Oh dang! It's Tuesday morning. I saw this too late. ;)
lol. gaming the gamers, I like it :P
My profile already voted on it automatically, but I would've voted as well on my own.
As for a comment... um... ummmm... damnit
And this is so wonderful..
Tell me why i wont cast my vote when i am 100% sure of this curation reward?
God bless Your sense of reasoning
The second prize is a 50/50 thing i suppose.
But either ways, its a win win because i am definitely going to get part of the curation reward
And that's an amazing way to help the minnows grow and also a sort of motivation not to give up
Thanks and keep being amazing
Keep up the good work boss!!!
You can curate anywhere, but here, you know there is more money coming in after your vote )
Exactly my point..God bless your sense of reasoning.
Great post, i appreciate your thoughts my friend, this is the only way to make steemit No. 01 Social media platform on the globe,steemit is decentralized platform and in order to make it a beautiful social media platform we all have to welcome the new steemians, encourage them and give them a greed less atmosphere because new members are the key in the growth of any platform and hence belongs to synergy and we all have to hold the hand of each other and move forward in this way we able to make steemit a worlds best social media platform, thank you very much @htooms for creating such contests and opportunities, Stay blessed
What a great initiative @htooms ,been in a contest and you wouldn't know you are in one already. This is the most simple contest I have ever come in contact with on steemit...
Steemit is all about giving opportunity to the people and here you are doing it with pleasure in a fun filled way. Soar higher !!
Who does that? Only @htooms baby!!!
Creativity is really the way around here...
Honoured to be here.
Yea, I'm in!
Wondered where you been @htooms. Thanks for another tsetnoc (contest).
Wohoo, another exciting edition. Minnows definitely need to get some @htooms love! #takemyvotes used to be so much fun, and i'm glad its continuing in its new form.
Hello @htooms
This is really wonderful and great idea to keep the community going and to keep it highly interactive.
It is awesome to be in a contest without even noticing.
You are doing a great job and your effort is fully appreciated.
Keep the good work going @htooms
Thanks for the opportunity to participate in your contest.
@maintain4real-eu
The most simple conest i have ever seen on Steemit
I love it
I hate explaining the rules. I make more when I spend all day responding to questions about rules, I might even trend.... But this is fun and easy.
I just wan to give away some cheer.
@htooms, Nice work!
It's very easy for me to just start commenting rubbish because you only asked for a comment but what does that make me? An ingrate.
We don't really see whales giving minnow such an opportunity every time, your kind of personality is scarce, you are a rare gem. I hear people say one has a heart of gold, but I wish I could see through to your heart to know if it's of gold or diamond because yours could be better.
But still, I haven't expressed my profound gratitude. I'm really grateful for this opportunity. Thank you very much, @htooms.
I wish I saw this earlier, I'll see the next one! :-)
You're back! Seems like we haven't seen you around these parts, in quite a while...
Hello @htooms.
This is my first time participating in contest. I have never participants in any steemit contest before but, when saw this contest , I fill going for it.
I get know about this contest from @stevemoses, so I check the request of the contest, all to see that it's all about commenting on the contest post. Thanks so much at @htooms for making the entry of the contest easy for all steemians.
I really appreciate your effort for creating content like this, now I think I have opportunity to 20sdb to my wallet
In 5 o r 6 hours you will see the result - seven days from now you will see that you made more curating here.
Very cool idea! Re-steemed!!
Wow!
This is the first and most smartest contest ever on steemit, comment with hidden tricks, i think you must have been a programmer or developer only a computer genuis can do this, bravo i think my voting list must be on you, i really need to get more update from someone like, i just like the way you think.
This is the best comment...people have been saying "ya know, that was the best comment back there" it's a tremendous comment, full of words, and punctuation. Everyone's gonna love this comment. It's gonna be yuuuuge!
I was very pleased to see a post from you @htooms. Haven't spotted you in a long time!
Oops, I have completely missed basically every post of you, because I haven't been checking my Home feed enough! Shame on me, but good to see you're still going :D
As the bitcoin price goes up, I lock my secret places down even tighter. I have been busy but I have some free time now. keep cooking!
Glad to hear that! Happy to see you're still paying the community attention and still bringing in some positivity :D
Upvoted, resteemed and sign in)
HI,
I've nothing to add to this contest and i don't care about prize.
I'm here to draw attention to this project:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@miti/miti-curation-quality-and-original-content-week-1
https://steemit.com/steemit/@miti/my-curation-project-to-promote-quality-and-original-content
There is certainly a need for a genuine social dialogue, intended to promote quality and original contents within the steemit community.
That is why I am moving forward with plans to promote quality and original contents betweens minnows. I'm not a whale but a minnow too, but I hope my curation project does it in a small way..
Thank you for taking the time to read this post.
Free?? Who could leave that?? :D
I think I´m late, am I? Maybe whales gone away alreday, because the post has 115.70 now... Anyway it is fun to participate ... Thank you all!
Ok....so I have a question...
Will this work after the 24 hour period after the Whales come in?
What happens when I upvote after the 24 hour period?
