I do remember when we talked about our goals of hitting 55. At the time I was also using bots and what a difference it makes in achieving higher unearned scores.

Just a quick overview because I'd rather you know what they are, Steem Basic Income (SBI) is a automatic vote each time you post. It's a very small upvote, but every little bit helps and it's forever.

The bounty program is an amount that is paid by the author. 80% of that amount (3 SBD in this case) goes towards the people the author upvotes and is based on the % of the total voting weight I gave out. So if I upvoted 10 comments at equal weight everyone would get 1/10th of the reward. The other 20% is based on the weight of all of the other votes comments get. So if you see a quality comment and give them a little upvote they will get more of the "community" portion of the reward.

This community portion is why I downvoted a couple comments. The spammers jumped over and upvoted themselves trying to get a portion of the reward without even bothering to read the post. I have zero issue flagging a spammer.

Glad you like the contest and hope you get an entry in. If not this current one week 2 starts tomorrow.
