Thank you! I always love doing the pay it forward curation posts.
There really is no shortage of great posts to feature, and new people to meet each week.
I am glad you are finding value in the project.
How is the Minnowbooster thing working out? I got brave and gave them a try today. It was easier than I expected and I am happy with the results.

Good to "see" you again @headchange!

"I am glad you are finding value in the project."

In my Labor Day reply to @thedarkhorse, I said this:

"So ... Opening "chapter two," I will very intentionally try to be more narrowly focused on where I find the most value in investing my time "in here." I have decided a significant part of that will be toward helping the PIFC team."

I financially backed @pifc right away. We'll see how I do with adding time to it. No long-term promises, but I'm working on it! 👍

"How is the Minnowbooster thing working out? I got brave and gave them a try today. It was easier than I expected and I am happy with the results."

All I have had time for so far, is read about delegating to them, which I have done. So, not sure to what "gave them a try" is referring. As your time allows, I'd welcome more info on what your experience has been. Maybe (likely) I am missing something.

The time factor is always an issue. I try to visit as many of the features as possible. It takes a bit of time and my steem power runs low. The sp is growing but the time will always be an issue.

As far as minnow booster. I used their paid vote for the first time this week. Just a small amount to test it out.
I paid 1 steem and received a 1.32 vote. It also was a great boost to rep score. I am sure I will use their service in future to help grow my own Steem power. It is also one of the few paid service that is not frowned upon by the community.

Here is the link I used
https://www.minnowbooster.net/
But you can do it in their Discord I think.

Thanks for the prompt follow-up @headchange!

OK, good to know! So, is this where you would go into your wallet, transfer some STEEM to them and post the URL in the Memo field? If so, also good to know it's not frowned on, since my impression has been that's a "No! No! Bad dog! Get down!!" move ... 😉

Yes you seem to have it right. Except they prefer sbd but that was my fault I had forgotten that part.
It does seem that minnow booster is widely excepted.
It also seems like a lot of people just start up secondary accounts to use the voters in private.
People watching is a hobby, and my best teacher.

Very good.

"People watching is a hobby, and my best teacher."

Yep, never boring. Spent years traveling in my "old life" and still remember all the interactions with the "strange and wonderful" types of people with whom you'd "cross paths" ...

Thank you @headchange!

No problem it took me forever to figure out that people were using "booster" methods. And then to work through even how that plays out in practice.
This site really should come with a big fat user manual.

So ... Just decided to try it out @headchange. Just sent 1.0 SBD to them in support of my latest post - True Story: Encouragement on our Steem Blockchain.

If you say sending them 1.00 results in 1.32 coming back in a vote, well ... Not sure why I wouldn't "sign up for that plan" all day long. 😉

I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks again!
