Fundraising Post - Help Needed

in #fundraising5 years ago

We just lost a large delegation, well large in terms of what we had. So this post will serve as a fundraiser to try and replace what we lost and hopefully more. The goal will be to lease at least 1,000 for a minimum of 4 weeks from MinnowBooster, with the ultimate goal of leasing the same amount for 12 weeks.

Want to thank @kaliju for the 1,000sp that he had been freely giving to @pifc and wish him the best of luck with his @dstors project which is what he needed to pull back all his delegations for. New project of this size needs all the SP it can get and this project has the potential to really helping build Steemit and Steem up so while we will missed the delegation we are very excited to see what will happen with @dstors.

We Need Your Help

You can help in many ways during this fundraiser. Each way that I can think of will be spelled out below. If you can think of other ways please let us know.

Upvote this Post at 100%

Ok it's obvious right, but if you have a smaller autovote set up please consider removing that smaller vote and recasting a 100% vote. 100% of the proceeds will be used for funding the lease. There is some liquid steem in the account that was going to be powered up, but instead will be used to cover the 50% portion of the post rewards. This way 100% of this posts rewards will be used to lease SP to help the community.

Delegate SP to @pifc

If you are sitting in a position where you can afford to delegate a little SP freely that would save us from leasing as much. This naturally will help the situation a lot. Below are a few Easy to use Delegation Links. You just need to put your name into the first box that shows up as the Delegator.

Delegate 25sp - 50sp - 100sp - 250sp

Send Steem or SBD

You can send us some steem or SBD as a donation which will be used for leasing SP only. Just put a memo note that you are donating towards the SP lease.

Resteem this post

More eyes that see this I hope will lead to more help reaching our goals.

How Much is Needed?

Here are screen shots of the low and high end of what I think we need to raise. The 4 week delegation will run us around 16.7 Steem and the 12 week would run us around 47 Steem.

SBI Shares

Someone I was chatting with on discord mentioned they could help with a few SBI shares. This will help long term and that kind of support is always appreciated too. It will not pay for the delegations directly but surely helps power up this account and remove some of the need for delegations. Every little bit helps on posts.

Thank You all!

Any help is appreciated and we know that while everyone is seeing lower and lower rewards this is a big ask. Hope that some of you are in a position to give a little to help keep things rolling.

Greetings,
@blockbrothers

Your support is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Upvoted, resteemed & delegating 250, great initiative!

Thank you very much for the support!

Anytime, keep up the great work!

Hello!
You got an upvote from me for this post.
This is just a small contribution, but I hope it will help you, and the steem community to grow further.

Upvoted, resteemed and sent you a small delegation. Will send over some liquid later today

Thank you very much! You can see my reply to @pundito for full details of where we stand with all of the fundraising, but your delegation brings us to 950sp total raised without any leased and 15.4 Steem. Between that steem and the funds from this post we will end up MUCH stronger then we were before loosing the delegation. Funny how things can work out for the best sometimes.

Hi @pifc,
upvoted, resteemed and sent a small delegation.
I hope this helps.

STEEM ON!!!

Thank you very much for the 50sp delegation. That is a big help.

I'm curious what the status is now @pifc.
Hopefully, you received back even more than the lost 1000 :)

Currently we have received 950 sp in new delegations from the amazing community!

15.4 Steem has also been sent in.

And this will be our highest payout ever largely due to a few witness's that stepped up and gave some nice support. All of the smaller voted really added up on this one too and they really helped.

Overall it's been an amazing show of support.

Currently have an order out for about 100sp on MinnowBooster for the 5 steem that was first sent. So far no takers, but feel the ROI was good enough that it might fill.

Someone else put in an order for 1000sp on Minnowbooster for 8 weeks, but no takers on this either. Think the ROI is a little low so might not happen, but fingers crossed.

Without question we will end up stronger then before. Wondering if it makes sense to run a post once a month where all funds are used for leasing SP. One that we are purely looking for Upvotes and if people want to do something else that is great. Just don't want to be a burden to the community either, but think that at a monthly fundraising we can keep adding new leases and get our vote up to a more useful/supportive level.

Thanks so much for your very informative reply!
950 is a start ... you are doing so much for the community and it should be much more than 950. As you might remember I was actively posting for the pay it forward community and knew from the very beginning it will a successful project! Actually, I would love to pick it up again because it was a lot of fun for me and MUCH work for the people behind that project.
If I only had more time ... but I still try to help/support this project.
Regarding the 100SP on minnowbooster: they should be fulfilled.
I'm thinking about something already ;) But I have no experience with it yet ... let me check - Marley might fulfill it.
It's a pity that the whales do not support the project. For them it's just a click - for you it's working hard and struggling with SP.

You will for sure get this project up where it belongs.

Note to myself:

  • check if @pifc is on autovote
  • check if Marley can fulfill the 100SP request.

STEEM ON and please don't upvote my comments but someone who really needs the support - save your VP for the project 😎

I do remember you being part of the curation contest and hope we see you back again. This week coming up we have a sponsor to give each entry a SBI share so it would be a good one to enter. Starts in about 10 hours.

Whales did help some. @fulltimegeek put his fulltimebots onto the post and that was a huge help. But you are right, there are many others who could easily change the face of this contest with a very minor contribution. Even a single weekly upvote from a few whales on the contest page would allow us to lease SP, power up some, and give much larger Bounties for those that enter. I feel that as time keeps moving along this contest gets more recognized and that helps us pull in added support. Hopefully one day we can be making an impact on the posts that get featured and help motivate more people to stay active on steemit.

You are absolutely correct that this is a lot of work. If I had to guess it runs me at least 20 hours a week running everything PIFC does, maybe more. Plus I have been paying for some of the delegations that PIFC has out of pocket to keep it running.

I'm very lucky to have great judges and discord helpers or this wouldn't even be possible. Then when in need the community steps up and shows how amazing they can be...keeps the motivation to help others strong.

I know you invested in keeping the project running. You gave already a lot. Money, time and passion.
We (psionic-tremors, dog-marley and me) also invest fiat money to get the SP we now have and are glad to give some back so that we all are getting better at the end.
We need to do this all together - but whom am I telling this ... the person who knows that best.
At least the whole family including the dog can support the pifc-project now :)
Good to hear there also some around like @fulltimegeek. There are not many like him.
Also, it's good to hear you have some people backing you up when needed.

I'll check if I can step in again. It was always so nice to read the astonished and positive reactions of the chosen newcomers. With some of them, I'm still in close contact.

It's great to hear that you made some connections from the contest. There are a few people who said they were about to give up on steemit until they found or were found by PIFC. Things like that keep me going no matter the cost or time it takes.

Thank for all of the support...even from the dog!

Marley fulfilled the 105SP for 13 weeks if I'm not wrong :)

Thank you very much.

Followed, Upvoted and sent a small Delegation to help with the continuation of this great initiative. I appreciate the content and support provided by @roolerob so I do it in his honor! Look forward to seeing more!

100sp is a huge help. @roolerob has been a great supporter of PIFC and many others out there. Steemit needs more people like him.

Thank You!

Unfortunately, I find myself in need as well. However I've upvoted and resteemed. Best of luck!

Thanks for the support

Great mandate and seeing @lynncoyle1's involvement sealed the deal for me.

100 SPs delegated.

@lynncoyle1 has been involved from the start and I mean all the way back to figuring out exactly what type of contest would be run back when it was on my personal account.

Thank you for your support!

It's been very rewarding too! I'm going to have a look, but I think I'm in the position to delegate 100 also 😊

Awww thank you so much @novacadian!!❤️

Glad to be able to help, Lynn. ✌💛

Upvoted at 100% <3 Good luck, @pifc <3 <3 <3

I have 0.4 Steem.. will send it to you, it's nothing but I hope it will mean something to lease the sp😊

Thank you very much! Know it's not a huge amount, but trust me this type of pitching in by everyone is a huge help. Upvotes, resteems, donations, and delegations all have come in. Think that PIFC will be stronger then ever after this little drive.
