Hey UpvoteBuilders,

We have awesome good news which we have to share with you, you will notice the value of your upvotes are going up and will go up even further today, this is in part because of the following reasons:

1. We are having more members and this is increasing the SP pool of the community account.

2. We leased additional 4,000 SP yesterday for 4 weeks and we are hoping before it expires, membership SP should majorly replace it. Give and take it has given us a boost.

3. An early sponsor of the community @michealb has asked that he be removed from receiving any benefits (upvotes, curation or any other rewards). We cannot thank him enough for this gesture as it has further increased the rewards for other members of the community. We will ever remain grateful for his support and wish him all the best.

Upvote Percentage Adjustment

With the third point above, it means we have adjusted your percentage voting weight upwards by 5% for the early birds that were on percentage gifts, except @emergehealthier who moves from next level upvote to the higher percentage group. Other members on the next level group remains as is with the availability of 1 additional spot for next level early bird gift. You can check the chart below to see where you stand and please remember that the early bird gift is for a two weeks period starting from the day of launching the community.

Early Bird Slots Remaining

We have just 2 slots for the early bird members who are to receive boosted upvote gift for two weeks starting from launch date. You don’t need to wait until you get all the SP you want to delegate to join, you can just delegate what you have to take up an early bird slot and as we move on you can now add the additional SP you had intended. Remember, it is just 2 slots to go.

Still on the early bird slot, I’ll like the community view on this one:

1. Should we extend the early bird period to 4 weeks starting from date of launch?

2. Should we increase the number of early bird members to 30, 40 or 50

Only members suggestion will be taken, thanks

Please I need your feedback pronto if you don’t mind so that the message is communicated early enough. Thanks.

Membership

Membership @upvotebuilders is by DELEGATION ONLY, it is not a paid for community. If you want to sponsor the community you can freely delegate SP to us and specify that it is for sponsorship or you can send us Steem/SBD to lease more SP. Our sponsors don’t receive upvotes from the community account.

To join just delegate SP to @upvotebuilders based on the level you want to belong to according to the chart below:

Membership Delegation Levels

Level 1: 10 - 49 SP delegation - 2% voting weight
Level 2: 50 - 99 SP delegation - 5% voting weight
Level 3: 100 - 249 SP delegation - 10% voting weight
Level 4: 250 - 499 SP delegation - 20% voting weight
Level 5: 500 - 999 SP delegation - 30% voting weight
Level 6: 1,000 – 2,499 SP delegation - 45% voting weight
Level 7: 2,500 – 4,999 SP delegation - 60% voting weight
Level 8: 5,000 – 7,499 SP delegation - 70% voting weight
Level 9: 7,500 – 9,999 SP delegation - 85% voting weight
Level 10: 10,000 SP delegation and above gets you 100% voting weight

All membership delegation levels will receive one upvote daily (every 24 hours) this is to curtail abuse of the system. You can always increase, decrease or undelegate to @upvotebuilders at any time and we will adjust your voting weight accordingly.
