Let's Find and Reward Steem's Contributors
Me 101
Hello everyone, this is Bhuz!
Some people already know a bit about me, other probably know nothing (who said John Snow?!) anyway, even for the latter, what should be enough to know is that:
- I am a long time witness
- Few days ago I was voted back into the top #19.
This is NOT an #introduceyourself post (hi there wang!), so you will have to suffice with that!
So what, why this post?
I am neither a writer/blogger nor a native english speaker, so I will be quite brief and simple.
I want to publicly state my intentions about how I would like to use part of my witness's pay. At least for the near future.
I also want to highlight how the following should only be taken as intentions... no everlasting promises what so ever, no pinky swear, no cross on hearts and hope to die, no needle in my eye either!
...You never know...
So, as the title may suggest:
I would like to "redirect" part of my future witness's pay to some of those people who are actively contributing to STEEM's development and growth!
Identifying eligible contributors - Draft
In particular, I would like to focus on those that are NOT already profiting and getting richer and richer from the platform. Meaning:
- No devteam's members
- No active/top #19 witnesses (runners up may be considered)
- No already successful steemians
- The poorer the better
So, what are you waiting for?!
Publicly state my intentions is only a means to achieve the main goal
I would like some feedback and help to identify:
- Rules to select eligible contributors (changes in the Draft above)
- Find the actual contributors, the projects they are working on, and how much the community feels those projects are important and worth to be rewarded for
Conclusions
Finally, to conclude, I would simply ask:
- if you have some idea about how to better identify eligible contributors
- if you know some of them and you think their work need to be rewarded
- if you are a contributor yourself and you think your work is worthy
This effort is very much appreciated! As a starting point, you could consider some of the folks whose projects are listed on the site below.

Thank you very much for pointing me this site out!
I am publishing a daily digest of cryptocurrency news plus interviews and more with my Steemit Crypto Mag. I hope you may find my magazine interesting. Basically I cover all #cryptocurrency news in a unbiased and condensed format for my readers, so they can have all of their crypto news in one place.
Steemit Crypto Mag | Issue #1 | 25 July 2016

I am currently also accepting submissions from other interesting authors who may like to appear as a featured article in my magazine, with links to their original author page and content. I am really looking forward to seeing the submissions come in!

This is great. I am myself working on SteemWatch, so any support is greatly appreciated. The latest release introduces a real-time event stream and I am constantly improving the thing.
Anybody feeling like contributing or supporting the project, feel free, I will be happy. But that is not only it. This project can help you find good content, which is this post also about. You can follow interesting people and see what they are voting for. So following a good curator means that you will discover interesting content as well.
In any case, let's improve the platform together, it is fun!
#steemwatch #FindAndReward
This is exactly what we need to get more content discovered.
Distributing steem power to people who curate good content, but dont have enough steem power to make a ripple in the pond is exactly what steemit needs for growth IMO.
I would like to nominate:
@sauravrungta
@sunshinecrypto
@endgame
Im sure theres a way we could identify canidates based off how much work they are putting in and their wallet balance, with some sort of script. Weighing people who have a history of powering up steem instead of withdrawing it would have the most positive feedback.
Wow 1 vote can raise 2.08? I cant even raise a comment by 0.01 cent. IMO we need 208 people putting their 1 cent somewhere rather then the few adding whole dollars.
I put my $0.01 in! lol... #MINNOWSUNITE ! If you grow the base, everyone wins!

Ive just got this so far:
Im going to do my part to help with guides but Im just getting started so dont have much of a portfolio just yet.
Im thinking of new things to write about every hour and marking them down on the list. My main goal is to give the noobs a bit of confidence.
hi @bhuz. I'm a little late to this post, but I just read about it on @clains's witness report. Great idea! I am really appreciative of any 'whales' that are actively trying to reward more underpaid 'minnows' that are providing great contributions to the community. I think that this is one of the most important issues facing Steemit right now. We are doing a great job recruiting a lot of great people, but keeping them here is even more important.
As far as rules to select eligible contributors, I would recommend allowing people to submit things like people have been doing on this post. You could also recruit a few people to hunt for good content and report back to you what they find.
As far as deciding how much value the contributors are providing to the community, I would be perfectly fine with your subjective opinion.
I don't know what types of content producers / projects you are thinking of, so this may not be the type you are interested, but I would offer one nomination of @artist1989. I think he is posting a lot of great content and hasn't got much of a following yet.
Thanks again for doing this project!
I wrote some posts today that aren't doing too well :(

@bhuz, if you could check my blog, I believe you will find the information there interesting!
I am taking a break from writing today, but expect more content to come soon. I am going to cover an ever broader range of topics, so keep an eye out! :-)
It's great to see you trying to promote up and coming content writers.
I have started a blog "steecky thoughts", you can check my first blog post it's not great yet but it's getting there.
