thanks, I think how it's changing people's lives is really interesting.

So I have about 2,800 SP that I've earned - I've been writing here since August 2016 and that's all come in author and curation rewards.

The other 20,000 was delegated to me by another user who was running a witness at the beginning and had accumulated a lot of power himself. When I asked why he was helping me, he just told me that he thought I was real and that I'd cheered him up once when I was singing on #openmic - so it's as simple as that, be real and cheer people up :D

You seem to be doing quite well already, keep it up!
