thanks @angelacs, I'll reserve 2 for you.

Thank you, @upvoteshares. I'm saving to cover six if you can spare more. ;)

The program is designed in a way that the maximum amount of shares that you can get is limited to your owned SP (40SP for each share). The idea behind it is that you need a certain amount of SP to support others before you are 'allowed' use steem to support yourself. (mostly it's there as an easy way to avoid accounts with a more taking mindset and I don't really mind allowing more shares to accounts that are still some below but are doing good things and grow at a steady rate.)

Something that is project perfectly suited for is to save up a bit each month while your account grows and get 1 share when each new level opens. This allows you to grow a bit fater and at the same time help a minnow friend grow along by giving your sponsorship to the same person each time so they also get continued upvotes from the @minnowshares account that eventually turns into them reaching 6+ minnow shares that they can turn in for an upvote share that will give permanent upvotes.

Level 3 was reached and the post will be online later today

Ahhhh... didn't know. Thanks so much for taking the time for explaining the underlying principles of the program and for your tips. Working to increase owned SP so looking forward to implementing your excellent tips as it grows, @upvoteshares.
