C² Engagement League Booster

In partnership with @abh12345 and @steemcommunity witness, C² pays liquid Steem to random winners who have both signed up for C² contests in the #server-contests-signup channel in the C² Discord server, and participate in the weekly Curation and Engagement Leagues on @abh12345's blog. See below for full contest rules.

Weekly Engagement League Booster Winners for the contest week of December 30th, 2018 - January 6th, 2019

54 users signed up for both C² server contests & @abh12345's League of Engagement, and also scored a minimum of 1000 points last week in the league. Five random 1 Steem winners are:
@karamyog
@moncia90
@adamada
@oliviackl
@anouk.nox

Proof of Randomness:

We used https://www.random.org/lists/ to randomize the eligible users. To the left is screencap of total list pasted in, to the right is the new randomized order. The top five results in the new random order are winners ( @carlgnash declined prize payout so slot 6 paid out today).

All prizes will be paid out shortly from the @c-squared account

Engagement League Booster Rules

• Steem users must have first signed up for C² contests in the #server-contests-signup channel in the C² Discord server to be eligible for prize payout.
• Steem users must also have signed up for the Curation and Engagement Leagues on @abh12345's blog. You can do so in the comments at the most recent post.
  A minimum score of 1000 points in the Engagement League is required to be eligible for prize payout.
• Five x 1 Steem prizes will be paid out weekly to five randomly selected users who satisfy the above requirements.
• The Engagement League measures your engagement in comments and looks at other metrics including number and diversity of outgoing votes & number of witnesses voted for to give you an engagement score. PLANKTON/SMALL ACCOUNTS PLEASE NOTE it is possible to achieve the minimum score of 1000 points even with very low SP / resource credits but only if you have voted for a good number of witnesses.
• If you like what C² is doing, please consider voting for the @c-squared community witness.

Voting for witnesses is a very important way to contribute to the Steem blockchain.

If you are not yourself knowledgeable in what witnesses to vote for, consider "proxying" your Witness votes to a trusted 3rd party who has more knowledge on the subject.
