Doctor Worm's Minnow-Making Machine, Week 3 Update

in #curation6 years ago

Doctor Worm's Minnow-Making Machine is a user-level curation initiative designed to support the account growth of high-quality posters through the expanded power of minute-zero votes. It's an outgoing support initiative, not a vote-trading scheme. Support from our users is appreciated but not expected.

Dr. Worm is run by @tcpolymath and currently the only way to get into the program is to attract his attention through your posting.

Things worked pretty well this week. We sold some votes but only while the site was being difficult over the weekend, and if it had been working better I imagine we would have gotten a few more posts. I have a couple of users I would really like to add but I think we're going to give it one more week to see how it goes. As we get closer to @photocircle's graduation I'll be willing to take a little more risk of adding more users than the voting power can handle. With the whale support they've picked up they're clearly going to be the first ones out.

I've been thinking a little more about Phase 2, though it's going to be a while before anyone else graduates. I think I'm going to do something like an Eagle Scout Project as a requirement for advancing to the next level - envision, develop, and implement a project for community benefit. It doesn't have to be a big or ongoing project, and in the system as I envision it eventually you'll do six of them at SP milestones, so there's definitely no need to think huge at 500 SP.

My priority at the moment is to get some of the chart automated so that it's easier to scale up when the time comes. I also want to add graphs next week as the tables are getting pretty big.

Bugs and emergent behaviors

  • The autovoter worked pretty well this week. No more running down posts which needed to be voted manually, unless I missed one.
  • I'm still using this as my low-content posting account, and one of the things I'm doing with that is entering photography contests; we won one at each of @photocircle and @photocontests this week, bringing 0.687 SBD into the system.

You're totally incredible @doctorworm
I feel blessed to be a beneficiary of your minnow support project....
Thanks a great deal.

This is such a great initiative! It is so uplifting to see someone payback the community by helping others build their accounts.

Cool initiative !

I learn about a different project here on steemit almost on a weekly base.
Steemit has so many different faucets to it.

I would like to apply if possible. I found this initiative via the @tcpolymath post Apply here for dolphin support: 400-800 SP accounts

I post about a wide array of things but currently am mostly an account that run all sorts of different easy to participate in promotions and games mostly aimed at new members.

There are not open applications for this level, sorry.
