RE: What would you delegate for?

in #community6 years ago

As a person that after almost one year recently reached minnow status from out ot the redfish pool, I am still trying to grow my account. I mostly travel around just looking to try and help new users get started with projects like newbieresteemday, and then just giving a vote and a comment to new users. There are so many people that put what they feel is a nice post out and get very little interaction on it, so many times I have been the first if not possible the only person to comment on some post. Comments take time, Ashers league of curation helps to stay motivated in that respect.

It used to be pretty difficult to grow my account and still give a vote to new user contents. Then @dustsweeper came in, and it was a tremendous help in growing my account. I have realized that I can help more people by also making sure I do not ignore my own account, and other people in a similar boat as myself.

There are a lot of minnow support projects out there, but most of them come at a cost, that I simply can not afford. Then someone like @tcpolymath comes along, and at no charge helps people to grow their accounts and is looking forward to building a dolphin society. Being from a mid level middle class society all of my life, I see the importance of this effort.

Just prior to meeting and being helped by @tcpolymath, I had started to get to know @jancom23 in the IFC challenge. He had a dream of trying to help build accounts on steemit to have an effect in the future on things that need to be done in the real community. He saw people helping people on steemit and want to translate that into the greater society.

Like @tcpolymath he understands that to use the power held in steemit he needs a group of middle class steemians also to help with his dream of the future, thus he created @thehive. A mutual self support group community focused on helping members grow their accounts. It is a slow growth project of his and for me it is helping and I on a regular basis spend one of my full upvotes on at least one Hive Post a day.

If you are looking for a group that could use a delegation, then I personally think that you would not go wrong nor be disappointed in supporting @pifc. Like @newbieresteemday, it's focus is on the new users, spotlighting and presenting new users to each other and to others that have been spotlighted before, most of the participants in PIFC are past spotlighted people. This is a project that was started by @thedarkhorse. This program/contest gets the new user used to voting, commenting, and provides education to them on what the participants see as good content starts.

Thank you so much for this insight. I didn't know about any of these initiatives.

@pifc, is a very good one, for trying to keep people engaged, and to give people a chance to share content that they feel is good. Kind of a mini curie, without all the rules regulations, and anonymity associated with them. Real steemian, recognizing real steemians.

@bashadow thank you for your kind words and sharing what we are doing. @eroche you will see that @pifc is a new account that we are currently building up to have enough SP to be self sufficient. Just recieved some nice delegations this week and currently feel it has enough to start one small contest and will keep the Curation Contest on my main account for a few more weeks as we find a few more delegations. The first contest will be announced next week and then assume the Curation Contest will move over around the first week of Aug.

The Curation Contest is in it's 15th week and we have helped hundreds of minnows out with votes, SBI shares, Steem Bounty rewards, and now even have SteemMonster cards for everyone that enters the contest. Love the variety of ways everyone gets rewarded as it helps keep things fun and engaging.

Anyways if you have any questions about what we are doing or how you can maybe help in ways other then delegations hit me up on discord. thedarkhorse #6765

I have just donated a small amount of delegation to @pifc. It sounds like a great project and I wish you well.
