RE: The Launch Of "Minnow-ASAP" Is Near! - Get Your Support Ready.

in #minnowasap7 years ago

Thank you! Well, you could say that it's similar to several of the minnow-making projects or initiatives we have, but I personally wouldn't compare this with any of the others. Even though all of them are working towards the same goal.

Most of the projects out there are using upvotes as the main resource for growing a wide variety of people. They are using auto-votes/voting trails, and/or dedicate a certain amount of VP when they cast their votes across dozens of people simultaneously. Most of these initiatives are also focusing on people close to 500 Steem Power, as it's easier to push someone at ~485 SP rather than pushing someone having 300.

Minnow-ASAP is, or will be different. Upvotes are obviously a splendid way to increase the rewards, but the main thing with Minnow-ASAP is donations in form of Steem Power or SBI-shares for instance, that will be the main ingredient so to speak. This is 100% selfless pay-it-forward.

For instance, I might power up one user with 5 Steem to help them grow instantly. And also bring them one step closer to the goal of 500 Steem Power. The previous "push people"-initiative were very successful, and we pushed a dozen users straight into minnowhood, all based on generosity and kindness from participants.

The goal with Minnow-ASAP is to rapidly make Minnows. In a faster pace than any other project out there. However, I obviously realize that people won't be able/willing to donate 25 or 50 Steem to a random user, just to make them a minnow. But if we can donate 0,1 Steem, 0,5 Steem or perhaps even 1 or 2 Steem to these users, we will move mountains and push people quickly into minnowhood.

That being said, I don't have any intentions of growing a newcomer with 5 Steem Power in total into minnowhood by the use of donations. No matter what type of support this project gets. But instead of having limits of ~450 Steem Power, I'd love to include people who're working hard, but still haven't reached that ~450 Steem Power limit like so many other projects have. A limit I had too, in my previous project.

Also, as I let users decide for themselves if they want to donate, the amount they want to donate and/or if they want to support one specific user or all of them. And also how to support them, I figured that things will be tweaked with time. The most important part right now, is that I make this official and that we start producing minnows to establish a stronger middle class.

That's great to hear, Thanks for your wonderful service to the community of new members. I just made it over 500 SP to minnow yesterday. Keep up the good work.
