Hey @whatsup and @drakos what a great Initiative. Listen, I think this is really a great idea.
And I definitely want to take that next step into "Dolphin-hood" :)

I know I have developed a Manuel Curation Trail over the last 6 months. And I have a lot Passion in doing it. And NOT just "curation" per say but also "Commenting" on everyone I Curate ( feel free to check out my Comments, Replies, and things like VP stats) I think I have right around 110 Steemians ( you're included ;) ) on my List that I try to visit at least once a week and preferably twice. I have not gotten my VP over 50% in many, many months. Which is probably not a good thing but I cannot help it as I love to find great Content and reward it accordingly ;)

I just purchased some more Steem a couple of nights ago to get my Stake up to a respectable level as far as SP.

As far as me ever Powering Down ?? It's not going to happen. Iam here for Steemit for many, many years to come...as long as they will have me lol I have saved my money to get the SP I have now. And I highly covet it.
And any money I do plan to cash out will be only SBD turned into dollars. And I won't do that for at least another few months.

I will NOT lie as I would love to be a part of this experiment. But if I did have the honor of getting selected by you and @drakos...well I will NOT be able to do it until August. As I am leaving for a Summer Road trip/vacation from end of June to end of July.

Anyway, even if Iam not selected it will be very interesting to see how those who do get selected fair in this Experiment.

I know a fellow @thealliance member named @c0ff33a who is quite the Curator/Commentor. Much like myself he also has an extensive "Manuel Trail" that he puts a lot of time and commitment into.

You might just want to take a look at him.

Thanks for the post and appreciate what you two Steemians are doing. Excellent stuff going on here:)

Resteemed !!
