...Middle class, You'll Soon Be Stronger!
Minnow-ASAP has officially launched and I managed to fill only 4 out of the 5 spots. I have carefully, with bunch of consideration been able to select 4 people so far, and that is after looking into dozens of potential candidates in total. I have looked into all nominations and I've read several applications that was sent to me in private. I have tried my best to pick users without including personal feelings and/or experience. I have tried to avoid personal opinions, and made these selections based upon what I believe would be the best for the community in general, and to bring us good, hard working users.
After I finally had decided on these candidates, I felt an overwhelming excitement to start this project as quickly as possible. I have described and talked about this project, my goals and the whole idea with this in previous articles. You can find them here, here and here. If you are interested in learning more, and/or if you have any questions, feel free to contact me on Discord at [EviLDoLLTV#9035], or in the comment section.
However, I would appreciate if you took the time to read the previous articles & the comments in those, as that might give you a better understanding of this.
The Awesome Steemians:
Even though I kind of gave it away in the cover image, I'll announce the individuals I have picked for the first Minnow-ASAP push. In no specific order: @curatorcat, @wildhomesteading, @kansuze and @skramatters.
However, instead of presenting them, I think it would be better if these individuals would introduce themselves. None of these people have been contacted previously, but I do know that @cicisaja, which would've been the fifth selection, declined. She wanted us to focus on others instead, so I will do my best to honor her wish.
If any of you decline this, just let me know and I will obviously remove you and the incoming Minnow-ASAP support.
I will personally power up 5 Steem to each user in 24-72 hours. I will wait until further confirmation, just to make sure they want to participate. On top of that, I will also give each account one 100% upvote per day, automatically, using Steemauto as seen below:
Going forward, I will also reward comments (randomly) from these users, in an attempt to grow them further. But, I will not stop there. I will also, starting from next week (exact date will be announced later) give each user 5 SBI, (@steembasicincome), shares.
This push will continue for a total of 2 weeks, (with other random acts of kindness along the way), until 2019-04-08. A re-evaluation will be done half way through and at the end of this push. This might not be enough to bring them into minnowhood, but I think it's a good start for the Minnow-ASAP project.
These people are below the "usual" limit of 450 Steem Power that most other initiatives have, but Minnow-ASAP does not exclude users depending on their size. We judge and base our support out of kindness, generosity and willingness to support "lesser" accounts in an attempt to strengten the middle class on STEEM.
I have no intentions of leaving these people before they reach the goal of 500 Steem Power, but I might alter things going forward as new, cool things might show up shortly. Also, I reserve the right to revoke any support the participants have, if and when I find them breaking any of the rules or doesn't fulfill the criterias.
That being said, I will continue to support these individuals, in one way or another, until they reach 500 SP. No matter how long it takes. That's the whole idea with Minnow-ASAP.
1 Spot Available.
Who Can Apply?
Everyone. Users close to 500 Steem Power will be prioritized. To be eligible for this specific, individual push, you cannot have enough liquid rewards to reach the goal and you cannot have an active power down. Active people who engage and stays out of trouble is obviously good candidates. Initially, we will take on a maximum of 5 users per push.
