"NEW FEATURE"

Yesterday I added a new feature to further incentivize and increase interaction between the community. It went really great. This goes to show you should read the post than just vote :P
@shadowspub just commented and received the most votes and earned the VIP Bonus!

VIP Bonus

At the bottom of the post, there will be 2 topics to choose from. Choose one and leave a comment giving reasons why that is your choice. The comment with the most votes will earn a reward of 5% from the pool. The description below has been updated to reflect this change.

An interesting post in writing. I found myself wondering about what I read from this post. Please Check out your fellow Steemian's blog. It's on various topics and sharing simple things like taking the dog for a walk. @harand popped in and out of Steemspeak radio and I hope he made the move to Discord.

What is Vote Interest Pool(VIP)?


VIP in a new project and an initiative to reward voters for... well... voting. You are already given this from the 25% deducted from post rewards and given to the curators as part of the Steemit platform standard. With VIP, you will be rewarded on top of this.

Similar to @steemsports, but the main goal of VIP is to progress the Steemit platform and have more steem/sbd/steempower distributed to everyone. The more everyone one can get, the better.

In order for VIP to be successful, it will need the community's help. As far as I seen here on Steemit, it shouldn't be much of a problem. Almost every user is rethinking how they use a social platform and trying to help Steemit grow. I am confident we can accomplish this and everyone can feel the VIP treatment.

VIP Feature


Every new post will feature a "VIP Feature" post created by fellow Steemians. To better the Steemit community in quality, this feature was created to support verified users on Steemit and get the community interacting more together.

In order to be featured on a VIP Feature, jump on Steemspeak radio and say hello and meet others in the Steemit community. Who know's, you may run into @charlieshrem or @ned in there :)

Once verified and we know you have a voice and are not a robot, You will be randomly queued to have your most recent post for the day to be featured for the VIP Feature. once you made it on the random queue list, one of your most recent posts will be featured once every 3 months to allow others to be featured.

The @voteinterestpool account will automatically vote the post featured for VIP Feature on the authors account.

VIP Bonus


At the bottom of the post, there will be 2 topics to choose from. Choose one and leave a comment giving reasons why that is your choice. The comment with the most votes will earn a reward of 5% from the pool.



How It Works:

  • vote on the post.
  • After 24hrs the post and comments will be entered into the vote interest pool.
  • 25% is deducted from the voting reward as standard by Steemit curation rewards payout to curators.
  • Checkout the "VIP Feature" post from a verified quality Steemit member of the community.
  • Have a chance to win a "VIP Bonus" by choosing one of the topics and the bottom of the post and leave a comment explaining why you chose that comment. The most votes earns 5% reward from the pool.


Vote interest Pool:

  • From the 24hr payout period, the remaining 75% will be 50% Steempower for authored post, 50% STEEM and Steem Backed Dollars(SBD). Similar to @steemsports, we will convert the SBD amount to STEEM on the internal market to achieve the total Vote Interest Pool.
  • 10% will go to the VIP Featured post author. The benefits of "VIP Feature"
  • 5% will go to the VIP Bonus reward payout.
  • From here ALL of the 35% will be distributed to EVERYONE that voted using the power up method to have everyone receive payment in SteemPower.
  • Posts will be made almost everyday as I have other projects I am working on and need some days off :P
  • @voteinterestpool will be excluded from the VIP pool reward but still vote since the account will receive 25% in SteemPower for authored post curation reward :)



Example:


If the VIP post hits a reward value of $500 after 24 hrs, automatically roughly $125 will be deducted for the 25% curation voting rewards.

The 75% remainder:

50% in SteemPower value of $187.5 will go to the @voteinterestpool account for the author post curation reward.

10% goes to the author on "VIP Feature" at roughly $18.75 value in Steempower

The remaining 40% rewards will be roughly $168.75 and distributed to 300 voters if the post reached $500 by 300 votes.

Everyone will receive roughly $0.5625 value in SteemPower.

So let's shoot for $1000+ so everyone who votes will get over $1 worth of SteemPower!



@voteinterestpool account voting:


Other than "VIP Feature" author's post @voteinterestpool account will follow voting trail of @instructor2121 and @fyrstikken because they are reputable members that are doing contributions to the Steemit platforms and are good judgement on quality posts and users on Steemit, if the event the @voteinterestpool account becomes large enough to have large voting power. This will ensure voting will be distributed outside of just VIP.

Disclaimer:


  • @voteinterestpool may be subject to changes in the future to maintain operation
  • If the VIP dividends are are less than 0.0001, it will carry over to the next VIP payout.


Special thanks


@instructor2121 for contributing to this project

Can't forget the Steemspeak crew. Their support motivated me to keep going so I wouldn't have made it this far without them. @fyrstikken, @proctologic, @contentjunkie, @inertia, @krnel, @sykochica, @patelincho, @tee-em, @noganoo, @pharesim, @mughat, @applecrisp, @raymonjohnstone @creationlayer, @shneakysquirrel, @pickokernel, @ausbitbank, @poeticsnake, @kiddarko, and anyone else I forgot to mention.

Note: There are probably many of you have wondered who created this project and maintaining it but it's not hard to figure out. I want VIP to be a community success and didn't feel like I needed the mention as the special thanks mentions those that have contributed insight on what they felt was needed for Steemit. I'm just another Steemit user learning something new.
Thank you,
@bitcoinparadise

It's all about the android. As some have mentioned you can do more with it, as in there is more freedom to customize. It just feels like the phone for those who enjoy choice as opposed to the iPhone which is a cult following.

Also, apple may have made a strategic misstep removing the headphone jack as that may go over with the millenials, but may have put off many of their users 40+ of age who believe wired always sounds better.

I prefer android. But mine broke. Now have an iApple. Because I got it for free. If this comment gets 10,000 votes and makes me enough to buy an android phone I will. But that won't happen. XD

Thank you for the STEEM @voteinterestpool I hadn't noticed it until I read this post.

I'm on IOS primarily because that is where I started with mobile devices. I was heading to purchase an ebook reader when my sister commented that she would go for an iPod Touch as I could do a whole lot more with it.

I checked out the Touch and the pricing. Realized that I could indeed have a mini-computer in my pocket and read books on it for almost the price of the eReader so I spent my money there.

Once I was on it and used it for a while, I was hooked. It was a natural move to shift from the iPod Touch to the iPad. I went for the mini because I do a lot of reading on it and it's lighter to hold.

I've not used Android so will not attempt to make the comparison. I like IOS and am comfortable using it. There is enough free apps to accomplish what I want that occasionally actually paying for one doesn't bother me.

You're welcome. It wasn't hard to win. Hopefully people catch on and start commenting and voting on the comments :P You might just win this one again!
Yea most people stick with what they have used for so long. You'd be surprised when you switch over and you see the pros and cons of both mobile OS's.

from a cost standpoint, Android certainly has a much lower entry point. I may end up trying one at some point.

I wouldn't necessarily say that. Have you see the price of the new google pixel phone?

No I haven't. I don't pay much attention to them at this time. I take it that is is higher than the norm?

Android is a tiny linux, and I like linux... crApple sucks

Android. More versatile, more open. Not perfect.

To be clear I consider all of my touchscreen only devices as secondary. Give me some PCs to work on. Physical keyboards, large dense monitors. Clean multitasking.

I'm a geek. I want to tweak my computing platforms. That said I don't tweak my Android devices as much as you might expect. I think of them as consumption devices. Not for content generation outside of photos and video recording, they can do that nicely enough.

The differences are primarily that on Android if there's something I want to change to fit my needs there's almost always a solution. Also the ecosystem fits my Gmail and Google first online presence.

iOS on the other hand is something I've avoided owning. The Apple ecosystem is largely foreign to me. The lock-in prevalent on their devices is anathema to my way of working.

Just because iOS doesn't work the way I prefer doesn't mean I'm going to bash it. Some people prefer it. I won't knock that. There are enough varied problems on this Earth we shouldn't be disturbed that there's more than one solution in existence.

I'm the same way although you can tweak with android a whole lot, I do. Don't get me wrong, I have to give it to apple, they do make great quality devices. With that said, I believe you should be able to get the "best" quality products from more than one source. Then again, it wouldn't be the best would it?

Android. That is where we are going.

Nice! I personally enjoy android. Where are the iOS users at?

Apple is clearly easier to use for the masses. People don't like Apple because it is proprietary but I really don't care about that. I don't mind paying for something that works well

Android. Never owned or even used an Apple anything. Why should I buy the name when I can have more for less?

The only thing I don't understand is what I need to do to be involved. I've been on Steemspeak (before it moved) and also on the Beyond Bitcoing Mumble. Am I verified? ~( '.' )~

Yea, I just pick post to feature random as long as you been verified around steemspeak radio. I seen you don't worry @rubellitefae. If things picks up I'll do more than one post a day. You'll be coming up don't worry. I caught your last comment on the other post.

Okay, great. I know it's random, I just wasn't sure how to confirm entry. Thanks!

you're a friend of @sykochica right?

Yep! She brought me into SteemIt.

Yea see I remember! You been doing great!
