It has been an exciting week with many great minnows posting on the #ecotrain tag to get a chance for an up-vote worth up to $4 USD! I've been busy every day this last week selecting the best posts that I can find with low rewards, and up-voting people who write great articles. I have spent almost 12 months on Steemit, and during those first few months I know first hand how deflating it can be to put so much effort into a post only to be completely ignored! Ouch! That's why I created the @ecotrain, and now the minnow support project!

This last week I have up-voted 28 minnows which I know from the comments has made many people very happy. It is a real joy to be able to give money away every day, and I have only been able to do this because of your up-votes and support. I would like to give a HUGE thank you to the supporters of this project, especially @canadian-coconut, @jerrybanfield, @kennyskitchen, @adamkokesh & @tribesteemup. They are what make this project possible, and it's Steem Ambassadors like them who add real value to Steemit and ensure it will have a healthy and long life!

This week the following Minnows have been supported! Congratulations to the following Steemians!

THE @ECOTRAIN BOT IS HERE TO HELP MINNOWS!

I am proud to say that the @ecotrain bot is now dedicated to helping minnows! It is the first bot on https://steembottracker.com to only allow approved / whitelised people to use it! Many thanks to @yabapmatt for making a lot of effort to get this working for me and iron out the bugs! Not only that but I have set the ROI to give 11% returns to all whitelisted users. This means that the @ecotrain bot only up-votes great posts, and will give minnows a great return on their bids. It doesn't get much better than that!

The @ecotrain is ALL about quality and engagement, and so this is a great change for everyone!
