We Get To Be Minnows For A Bit - 60 Days of Dtube Snaps Day 15

in #dtubesnap5 years ago (edited)


We need to apologize in advance for the length of this video. It is not quite a Snap, but we just had to share a little bit of some wonderful news! We are pretty sure you will forgive us this one time.

Last week @mountainjewel posted a contest. that would enable them to delegate 2,000 steem to three active Steemians that would use the delegation to add value to the blockchain. We were chosen to be one of the three Steemians and are just over the moon. We are finally able to really focus on the "Have Ya Met..." project we have been working so hard on the past month.

You can read our entry HERE.


The "Have Ya Met..." project is where we bring introduction posts that we feel show some potential and others would possibly be interested in meeting. We spend hours reading through all of the posts tagged "introduceyourself" to find the REAL introductions. Many of the introductions are people mistagging and, whether intentional or not, and some are introductions of products or new "group" accounts; these accounts are not what we are looking for.

As we sort through the posts we leave a welcome comment saying something personal so they know, hopefully, we are not a bot, and then place a link to a post we created to explain how Resource Credits work, why tagging properly is important, and explain how beneficial using Discord can be. You can read it HERE. The goal to encourage the new Steemian to see this as the community the blockchain is and invest in it as the rest of us have.

We then take screen captures of the of each of the posts and add it to our "Have Ya Met..." post. This, with a link to their introduction, enables us to share them with everyone who reads our post. Once we have the post finished, we then comment on the introduction post explaining that we are giving them an upvote and following them. It may seem like a lot of work, but it is well worth it.

Over the past month we have not had enough Resource Credits to be able to do these posts on a daily basis as we had intended. However, with this delegation, we will be able to do a daily "Have Ya Met..." and even more comments on more introduction posts. There are a few other things we would like to do with this project, such as the introduceyourself posts that are in languages other than English, a weekly video introducing the Dtuber introductions, and maybe even play with the idea of a Discord server and show. Ah, the possibilities.

Thank you lovely.

WooHoo! I am so happy for you both! You deserve this and I know your extra power will help so much.

Bah Humbug on those RC's!

This is the best news I have seen today. I cannot wait for your next posts and I know they will be awesome as well. I love going on your journeys from so far away and you are in a state I never got to but wanted to see. Lucky me to be here at the right time :)

Oh thank you so very much. We do appreciate you. We were so excited to share this news with you.

We felt the same for a very long time. But when we started to explore the state while living on Lake Texoma, we started to see the state differently. There are mountains, mesas, a failed rift valley, fossils, history and so much more. We see a beauty here that we had not seen before and we hope to explore as much as we can before we move to our next place. We are very happy you are with us as we see it all.
Ren

Go you! This is such a great blog and I know it will just keep getting better and better :)

Steem needs more people like you two. :)

Glad to have you here, and congratulations on winning the contest!

Thank you @marksheppard. We really appreciate it. We love sharing all of these new Steemians and hope we can help them get noticed just a little bit more.

@clicked, thank you. Cordie just loves the hammocks. She drives us crazy when she is ready to go to bed for the night.

Hahahaha She is damn cute :D :D

I'm pretty fond of her. She drives Scott nuts! Haha

Congratulations on the delegation!!
You get and now you can give...
Sweet and just in time for Christmas too :D

I am super curious about the hammocks
So you don't have beds?
Do you sleep in one position all through the night?

Pretty much.

I'm a stomach sleeper in a bed, and used to wake up all the time with a stiff back. In the hammock I mostly sleep on my back, though sometimes on my side.

You don't want the hammocks with the spreader bars on the ends. Those are less comfortable, and a lot more likely to dump you out. I lay a bit diagonal across the hammock. At a certain angle you end up laying very nearly flat.

They can be a bit fiddly till you figure out what works for you, but after that they are very comfortable.

I am going to take advantage of it for sure and do some testing of ideas I have to help encourage the new people to get out there and play with us all in the community. Hope you are going to have a wonderful time at the resort.
