Helpie updates and current stats (06/07/2018) - The blockchain incident and manual curators.

Hello Helpienauts!

Here we are again , what a crazy week ! the whole STEEM blockchain froze! and as with almost every other community that runs with the help of different apps in the blockchain, we had a couple issues but it's all up and running now and everything should continue as normal.

First of all:

What is Helpie? by - @LLFarms

“Helpie is a new and unique educational community within Steemit, designed to help users that are creating quality content grow on the platform. We do this through a variety of ways including;

*Lessons designed to help users navigate the steemit network and teach them how to get the most out of it. (ex. GINAbot Tutorial, Growing Your Following On Steemit, and Markdown Challenge

*Daily Steemit related trivia and contests

*Mentorship from established Steemit users in all different categories

*A place to discuss ideas, collaborate with other members, and build your personal community

*Daily upvote from Helpie for vetted members

*Weekly Curation of great quality content. We have a wonderful Fine Arts Curation Report in addition to this Homesteading Curation and hope to add more categories in the future.”

- @Helpie's Manual Curation.

(A true helpie curator uses cake to find good content)

Recently we've added a small team of very talented curators to manually find good posts and send them a more deserved reward through the community account , when the blockchain froze this team took over the automated service and tried their best to keep up with the daily community upvote activity. So .. keep creating good content ... one of our curators might find you and send some extra votes ;) !

Some Witnesses to vote for!

The @helpie initiative is mainly backed by @ausbitbank but I must say that when we first started the first witness that came to give us his support was @Gmuxx , he then had to stop witnessing for a period of time but now is back on the game along some other awesome steemians under @NobleWitness!

@SirCork, @RhondaK, @Gmuxx and @Anarcho-Andrei are all exceptional people and Steemians . We wish them the best in this new project , you have our support :) !

Also, @derangedvisions recently launched his witness server and we hope to see him climb up the ranks very fast , he is an extremely supportive and talented person and also a big scam and spam fighter !

Another super team led by Jeff and Crimmi (@crimsonclad) is Witness @followbtcnews , the developers behind SteemTipper , SteemChat and one of the main supporters of the MSP project .. also please consider voting for them :D !

- @Ausbitbank has delegated 2000SP to @helpie.

The @helpie community account is supported mainly by Witness @ausbitbank and we can't thank him enough for his generous delegation, he is for sure one of the biggest community supporters on the Steemit platform and we strongly encourage you to vote for him as a Witness here:

We are looking for new members! @helpie has been growing nicely and we are always on the lookout for new valuable members, we are very supportive and community oriented, if you would like to be scouted for @helpie , please drop a comment below!

Every member in the curation trail has a 1 - 5 % boost from the @Helpie account upvote depending on their amount of delegation.
If you would like to know how to join the curation trail , @atomcollector made a very detailed video tutorial for it.

That's it for today! until the next update!
Thanks for reading!
