RE: CLOSED - Hello Steemit, MinnowBuilder Shares are For Sale
The purchased side of this project is similar to those two projects. Its a daily upvote bot but it also increases in value as it goes.
The main reason for the project is to support new and growing stemians. To take them all the way to 500sp. So yes there are similarities with these other projects on the purchased side.
We believe that by using the other half of this project to build as many people (free of charge with only a return upvote) who are active and involved in this community to minnow status, will help support everyone involved.
Imagine having 60 curators building to 500sp at anyone time. These accounts will grow and support everyone involved.
Alright then, this sounds reasonable enough. I'm in 😊
Thanks for the additional info.
Just to add a little. SBI is great, but the concept of "sponsoring someone" has been warped pretty bad in many cases as there is a lot of share swapping (buy me one and I'll buy you one).
Upvoteshares has some great ideas on how to improve on SBI, but are keeping it very limited in scope and while the minnowshares are there they are short term. So while you get to give away these shares you are really buying in for your own vote more then anything. This is great as a way to effectively grow your account, but not a long standing way to help the community.
That all said I feel we took some of the best parts of both programs. Added in manual curation to find deserving redfish. Plus are dedicating to take a redfish from wherever they are in terms of SP and work with them on getting to 500sp.
Mind you MinnowBuilder is only step one. I'm very serious about moving forward and creating dolphins too. But baby steps here and starting off with trying to get us a real class of minnows who have enough vested stake in steemit to potentially make a difference with their voice (votes for witnesses) and ability to help new redfish move along the ranks even faster.
I will also be setting up a vote trail for those who are enrolled in the Minnow Builder Trainee program which could potentially add to the support given to the redfish we are trying to grow. Besides the vote from the minnowbuilder account if we can get some people that have bigger accounts to even give a little each day to supporting those we are growing the process could go much faster. This will start before we move out of Beta, but need a couple weeks to figure out what we didn't think of...there is always something that needs to be fixed with a project like this.
