Paying It Forward to some Amazing Steemians
Original Photo
I purchased some @upvoteshares for myself, @pifc, and then one for each 3 of the judges that are actively blogging for @pifc's Curation Contest. Then from those shares I was able to give away some @minnowshares and decided to reward some amazing steemians.
Below are the shares purchased and the minnowshares that were then given away.

You can read the post that was made yesterday showing that this round of shares is full and see who else might have bought shares here. You will see that each share is purchased with a one time fee of 3.32 steem each for this round and next round the price increases to 3.38steem per share.
The idea is each round the price will increase adding value to those who are already in the program and allow for increased vote values as the program progresses. Most of the steem is used to power up and not used for leasing SP. This means the SP used for voting is owned and the program doesn't rely on future purchases to keep funded.
@costanza is the brainchild of this program and was good enough to take the time to talk with me about it. While I don't see myself ending my use of SBI shares it's nice to have votes from another daily voting source. These little votes start to add up over time and I will be buying more in the next round to help grow @pifc, myself, and the judges who work so hard on the curation contest.
For those of you that aren't judges the minnowshares sponsorship is because I think you are doing great things on Steemit and deserve a little extra boost on your posts. This vote is daily and you will have it for as long as you are blogging. So while I may not get to each of your posts know that every post has gotten a little votes from me automatically. Thank you all for being great steemians!
Thank you very much for your kindness.
I don't understand this program very well. Time to investigate.
It's just a daily upvote for your posts. If you don't post daily you don't get a vote, but it will be waiting there for you the next day. Small little trickle votes that will last as long you keep posting. And you are welcome!
Thanks.
For what I understood, you sponsored us with a Minnow Share, that will give us an Upvote for a period of a month or so.
After that period ends, the Minnow Share doesn't go away... and in time, if we get enough Minnow Shares, we can exchange them for an Upvote Share, which give us Upvotes forever.
Did I get it right?
That's right, the concept was designed so people who get a share from the @upvoteshare account to support themselves also get to sponsor a minnow without this having a big influence on their own return. For that reasons the @minnowshares account was created, and its upvote list will be refreshed somewhere around each month. If someone plans to get 1 share from the @upvoteshares account each new level and wants to help a minnow grow on Steemit he can give his sponsorship to the same minnow each time which adds up to that minnow getting a share in the @upvoteshares account that will continue to give daily upvotes.
All the numbers of the program are predetermined and can be ckecked and calculated at any given time.
@thedarkhorse I think you have one of the biggest hearts on this platform. I remember when you were trying to put the PIF contest together, to watch it from conception to now you have done an amazing job :)
Since we don't get to say it too often . Thank you for what you have done. I'm really excited about the new things to come!!
