POCKET! This is the official 1st "Choose your favorite joke from Pun Day Monday #14, and send their author pocket in the comments to enter them in the Steemian Choice awards!" post and it's also the Pun Day Monday Week 14 reminder
There are still a few days left to enter this week's pun contest!
Or just go read HILARIOUS jokes about snow.
Here's the link: https://steemit.com/contest/@improv/you-won-t-believe-number-4-joke-contest-pun-day-monday-14-winners-announced-for-week-13-adding-pocket-prizes
Then,
after you've perused the entries (All the comments are entries). Choose your favorite(s)
Then,
in the comments below (on this post), send them some POCKET!
Questions about POCKET answered at the bottom.
Whichever punster gets the most POCKET from folks sending it in the comments below will receive
- a 100% upvote from me on the post of their choice (~6 cents),
- a tip on that same post from @tipu (0.10 SBD), and
- the admiration of their fellows (value incalculable).
They are furthermore entered into the annual (can I call it "Steemies"? Or is that already a thing?) award for best pun of the year (the prize for which is 1000 POCKET from me).
POCKET answers
- What is POCKET? https://steemit.com/pocket/@biophil/genesis-pocket
- How do I send POCKET, you may ask? Well, if you own any POCKET, write in the comments below pocketsend:amount@account,optional memo exemplar gratis: pocketsend:1000@improv,this joke contest is THE BOMB. I'm learning so much!
- How do I get POCKET? An excellent question. I'm not entirely sure there's an easy answer. If you follow @biophil, you can find information like this: https://steemit.com/pocket/@virtualgrowth/pocket-is-now-on-steem-and-bitshares
But the best way to get some is probably by making such an incredibly pun that someone else rewards you for it here, and then using your new POCKET to reward someone else for their incredible pun.
Also, and you should not take me up on this because my price is excessively inflated, you could pay me 10 SBD for 1001 POCKET. If, though, you wanted to reward me for the contest, and you wanted to get some pocket to play the "rewarding puns with POCKET" game, you could do this. I would not buy POCKET at this price, though. Not yet, anyways. It's at that price because I think someday it might be (and then some...therefore, this price is only good until the pun post expires on Monday).

Thanks for using POCKET! MasterPocket is running this confirmer code.
Thanks! I do! You should totally participate in the contest(s)!
My pocketsend didn't work, they must have frozen my account!
Ohhhh. Ha. But also, yeah, why didn't it work?
pocketsend:252@heroic15397, finally I hope this works, after all these attempts it is starting to feel tedious and I'm snowboard.

This is an attempt at a manual confirmation; a bug in the confirmer code prevented your transaction from being confirmed automatically.
Pun, but alas unconfirmed! Oh no! You haven't spent all your pocket already, have you?
ach, it's a another stupid code bug. I'm sorry about this - I'll fix it right up.
Ah! Well good to know it's as simple as that!
pocketsend:52@heroic15357
ach, there's a problem with the confirmer code. Sorry your sends haven't been processed! I'm working on fixing it right now.
I think I typed in the incorrect account name on this one, could that be the problem? I typed in "heroic15357" when the correct accounts name is "heroic15397"

Thanks for using POCKET! I am running this confirmer code.
Don't eat yellow snow!
The best joke this far is made by the pocket confirmation bot ignoring @paul.atreides
Poor Paul!
pocketsend:51@heroic15397, puntastic! I'm snow impressed!!
YAY! Thanks for playing the game! ...except, is it possible your formatting is wrong? I see no confirmation...
pocketsend:[email protected],
''left in the cold'', ''frozen my account'', ''snow impressed''...
Seems like you are making a won for it!

pocketsend:51@improv,
So far my vote goes to you.
If the punmaster is eligible to win then the rest of us will be left out in the cold every week! This week is all yours, unless we get dumped on over the weekend with a foot of pun or more.

Thanks for using POCKET! I am small bot and right now I am running this code.
Yay! Thanks! How's your punning running?
Welcome. @virtualgrowth's punning runs away...
It's faster than the Flash!
I'll bet you know the answer to this question. Why does pocket-pi have such a low reputation and how does the blockchain know which of them gets the fee?
Don't actually know. But could probably find out. maybe just look at post / comment history. Then look for the dots (from past flags). The blockchain doesn't know. However the POCKET protocol notices which bot confirmed the POCKET transaction first bby the time of their respective comments on the blockchain.
Got it. And there's one long list in the protocol with who actually gets each token, including fees?
I think I need to get this pocket thing figured out...
