@ksolymosi

Dear Fellow Steemians, I have joined the @shadowbot community a few weeks after it started. (I even remember how did I get t know about it: I was scrolling over the new posts on steemit when I bumped into a post by @mrwalt talking about @shadowbot. I liked the idea, and joined immediately.)
By that time I was new to Steemit, I had app. 25-30 SP, so I was a very very small minnow. The system is built up in a very fair and reasonable way that it helps everybody grow. Look how much I could contribute so far and how much I contribution received from @shadowbot, as you see there is a huge gap - I received much more than I could give away:

Now I have 627 SP and I am still growing from the upvotes I receive everyday. Nowadays I maybe can contribute more than at the beginning, when my upvotes were useless... But I really would like to be a useful member of this community, because this is a COOL place to be!

So I truly admire the great work what the @shadowbot guys are doing, all the developments so far were fantastic, so it's good to be part of it!

@randyw

@Shadowbot does for @randyw and @everyoneelse what @Shadowbot does for @randyw, because @shadowbot is @shadowbot and @randyw is @randyw and @everyone is @everyone.

@hatsekidee

Happy Holidays to all fellow member of Shadowbot! For me a lot has changed in the last month.

Besides joining Steemit and rapidly learning about a whole new technological revolution I also joined Shadowbot in the hope to grow from plankton into a somewhat bigger sea creature.

And it was defintely worth it! I have been able to grow much faster than I would have done on my own and it not only motivated me to produce original and quality posts, it also kept me updated on my status and allowing me to learn from other members.

Keep up the good work, then so will I!

Thanks again for a the help so far!

@bwar

Shadowbot helped me to gain a foothold in the steem community. The extra exposure I've received from using shadowbot has helped me to grow my blog and audience.

@sakic26

Just started and you have been a great help! I hope one day to return the favor

@shreyansh

@shadowbot has helped me to establish my feet in steemit. I literally started from nowhere, and being part of shadowbot helps me to get my posts upvoted and grow.

The journey has been amazing so far, and I love it. I joined shadowbot after hearing from @sanmi, so thanks to him as well. I think, he keeps telling everyone, to join.

@jonbit

Joining Shadowbot was the best thing i have done on steemit! It gave me time to learn the ropes while looking at the tools and stats and really grasping what SP,SBD,Steem is and how important it is to understand the steem system. Now we get an encrypted chat account to account conversations that NO one other than the two people can know what you're talking about is a MAJOR plus! This is all free to help us build our self up on steemit i just wanted to say Thank you Shadowbot and Shadow Casters and everyone who is apart of this awesome team! Keep up that good work!

@deadzy

Thanks to you, I have a minimum of votes per article, and it's really encouraging to continue. Because it's really frustrating at the beginning, thank you! And happy holidays

@lost108

I was about to quit on Steemit two months ago until Mykos told me about this bot. After that, I was really enjoying it, I worked hard for my rank and I signed a lot of minnows into the Shadowbot. Now we are seeing remarkable updates that keeps the system fair and users happy, can't wait to see 1.000 casters! :)

@paced.financial

When I first came to steemit I felt like the type of content that prospered in the platform was very niche like, and not typically my niche. Shadowbot has allowed me to keep making posts and contributing to the Steemit community and the content of the platform to appeal to different interests that may not be as well represented in Steemit.

So instead of loosing a user, Shadowbot has gotten me to power up my account and keep generating content. Which is good for the future of Steemit and Shadowbot...and of course I can now actually make a few bucks while the community builds.

@vishal09

Surviving on steemit is hard especially if you're a new user. Having no votes for the post, for which you spent many hours on it, can be a huge disappointment.
Thankfully Shadowbot pool casters upvotes the good content which inturn leads to some little earning and serve as a good encouragement to post good stuffs

Presence of Shadowbot represents a joint effort to help each other whether you're a minnow, dolphin or a whale.

I'm glad I joined 4 months back and it helped me to get many votes ,sbd and up my Shadow ranks
Will continue to be part of it

@ourhistorymatter

@shadowbot has been great, though the votes I get may not make much but I gey some votes that earns me some cents, without shadowbot I will not make anything is I am a newbie here and not popular.

@poeticraise

In one word, shadowbot : You are awesome.......

@mykos

As i was getting ready to write my testimonial. I fastly discovered my story was all of your stories. I wanted to quit. i felt my content wouldn't be noticed. i was concerned about nepotism on steemit. Conclaves and cliques. I wanted a system that could more fairly value my content. Just based on the content nothing else.

So one day my prayers were answered. Jonbit came along. Told me about a solution. Right off i knew this was it. This was the system that could bring a true balance to the steemit platform for the better. These were early days on Shadowbot. I'll never forget. The entire steem power in the shadowbot pool was about 19k steem power.

It didn't matter. I know when something is a good idea. It doesn't have to start off with millions of steem. I knew one day this system would be what it is today. Which is a whirlwind of success from how it started. So i've been such a great benefactor of shadowbot. I've been very lucky and thankful. Bigdeej worked hard on this project. Didn't even get paid properly or rewarded for in my opinion the greatest application to steemit.

He pushed forward anyway. Large whales and high steem power holders who joined shadowbot to help it move forward. Did it out of help to the community. They didn't just do it for money. I'm sure they could make money some place else. They do it for love of the steemit community. As well as wanting to help new users and be a real beacon of hope and achievement on the steemit platform.

So im very thankful to bigdeej and jonbit. For seeing this vision through. Shadowbot is only going to get better. It's already surpassed my hopes for it. Although i know it will go on to do even more great things. Help more steemians no the brink of quitting to just hold out one more day to success. Thanks guys for all you've done. On to dawn Shadowbot!
