3 GREAT NEWS related to our non-profit community "project hope"
 | It has been almost half a year since "project hope" started and working together has only brought us great results so far. Results which I would like to share with all of you today ... |
|---|
INTRODUCTION
Before I continue, I need to say one thing: I may be the driving force, but together with @juanmolina we're both quite relentless to push this project forward. However, it is also obvious that we wouldn't achieve anything on our own. We wouldn't be here today if not for effort of our entire community. Our work, active support towards each other and relentless efforts to not give up on Steemit is already paying back.
FEW GREAT NEWS
So today I would like to share some of those great news and I would also like to hear your feedback, your suggestions and thoughts. I do consider myself a leader, and one thing I've learned is that leaders need to listen and learn from people they work closely with. Interested in a little quiz? If you are then scroll below to find out more :)
1) WEBSITE
I'm not a web designer and surely I could (and perhaps should) do better. But we all need to start somewhere, so right now this site is only working fine on desktops and it's more of a draft at this stage.
So again, all feedbacks will be appreciated. I will implement some of your remarks and suggestions right away. Others will be taken into consideration while the second version of the website (more professional) will be released.

2) LOGO
I'm sure some of you already noticed that we've our logo ready. It's quite simple and we hope you will find it visually appealing and you can see it on left-top corner of our website.
QUIZZ: What those 3 colours represent? (yellow, blue, red).
First 3 correct replies will receive an upvote worth 160k SP on their comment.
@juanmolina, @fucho80, @lanzjoseg, jadams2k18 - Since you're part of project's core team, you're not allowed to give the answer ;) No cheating :)
3) DELEGATIONS
We've already managed to encourage a few generous stakeholders to support our growth of @project.hope with their delegations.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank @gcalex, @mariusfebruary, @crypto.piotr, @solarwarrior, @majes.tytyty, @honarparvar, @tysler, @forykw, @lanhange, @lazyman and @creativeblue
 | Right now we've already reached 140K SP. On top of that several other users (with total SP exceeding 100k) are already auto-upvoting tech related publications resteemed on @project.hope. That kind of support is the best prove, that as a community we're moving forward. |
|---|
Important note:
I found it very important to underline, that we're not trying to create an auto-upvoting group. Main goal is to build a few media channels (telegram, discord, twitter etc) which we will use to promote tech-releated content published by all team members. So it's all about visibility and building engagement with others. It's all about building healthy relationship between those who participate in this project.
Looking towards the future:
 | I'm working with a friend of mine on creating a new tool on Steem blockchain. Kind of "steemit analytics". We've faced some real challenges with the latest changes in API, which took place after the latest fork HF21. I'm still hoping that some beta version would be ready by the end of this year. |
|---|
Initially this software usage will be only limited to our team and those who support us with delegations. I want to ensure that people I collaborate with are going to be equiped with proper tools. Better than the ones I can find right now online. I want it to be an extra asset for those who participate in "project hope".
SUMMARY
 | Let me wrap it all up and say BIG THANKS to everyone who read through this post :) |
|---|
I know that it's becoming very challenging to continue writing on steemit and many users gave up recently (after hf21). My only hope is that you will all stick around and we will all find ways to work together. I know we can.
I'm seriously being honoured to become a part of our group. I love that feeling, that sense of BELONGING. Being part of something great.
Yours,
@crypto.piotr

I haven't been so positive about steem lately but project.hope is a bacon of light here.
It's a community of people who work towards a same goal in an environment of common respect. It's a great place to be and I'm really happy to be part of it.
the logo
A part from being the colours of Venezuea these colours show how people of all colours and all nations can work together

Hi @achim03
Thx as always for your supportive feedback. You were not one of first 3 few people to guess what colours of this logo means, however I'm still upvoting it with full 150k SP :)
Cheers
Piotr
Thanks a lot for the upvote ;-). I just came home from Portugal. I write to you on telegram soon!
Welcome back ! :)
First of all, congratulations on getting the huge delegation. That alone is quite an achievement!
I'm glad to be part of this project and having my name listed on the site is an honor.
I am guessing the colors are related to the Venezuelan flag? So I am just going to copy the symbolism from Wikipedia,
Yellow: Represents the riches of the country, the wealth of Venezuelan soil, gold, sovereignty, harmony, justice and agriculture, as well as the Sun, the source of Light.
Blue: represents the Sea of the Caribbean that surrounds the country, as well as the Venezuelan beaches.
Red: represents the spilled blood in the battle of independence from Spain.
But for the purpose of this project, I think Yellow represents wealth, Blue represents unity and Red represents passion.
Hope I am not too far off
That's correct dear @culgin :) Congratz. Comment upvoted.
Wow.. thanks!
Thank you for your kind words @culgin. Seriously it means a lot to feel that my work here is appreciated by valuable people like yourself :)
Good guess buddy. I didn't know that all those colours represent something. Impressive knowledge.
Did you know about it @juanmolina, @pedrobrito2004, @fucho80, @lanzjoseg, jadams2k18 ?
WOW! I absolutely like that suggestion. How did you came up with it?
Cheers, Piotr
Hi @crypto.piotr.
Logically as a child we are familiar with the meaning of what our colors represent, we learn it early in elementary school, the best part of all this is to see how project hope is showing Venezuela in a different way, a project initiated by a totally alien person to our culture, which is committed to our cause to show, respect, solidarity, union and passion in this platform ... That is very valuable!
The truth is a good suggestion, in my case I would take it for the project: RICHES that is capable of generating blockchain, UNIT is the biggest feature that this group is taking, everyone involved in this project shows great commitment to each other, PASION This word perfectly defines what awakens the work on this platform, it is a kind of addiction, something that drives you to love, respect and want to write every day.
Very good, thanks friend @culgin.
@fucho80
I have to agree with this interpretation because it retains much of what those colors traditionally mean in the country's flag, although there is a historical gossip that says that the procer who created it, Generalissimo Francisco de Miranda, was inspired by a noble lady for the selection (blond hair, blue eyes and red lips).
It's an old story and joke that is left as a side note :)
Blond hair, blue eyes and red lips. Haha.. that's a nice one!
Hello @culgin and @crypto.piotr
Indeed the description that mentions culgin is the correpta so the colors of my beautiful flag were conceived which with a great pride I place in my publications this design is mine
Each of the seven stars symbolize the seven provinces that made up the Venezuelan territory that would become independent from Spain, namely: Caracas, Cumaná, Barcelona, Barinas, Margarita, Mérida and Trujillo
As soon as I could read the comment, the first thing I did was give it a positive vote. I didn't want to comment until you answered.
I really like your description for the project.
Thanks for the detailed explanation 👍
Haha.. just a random thought. Glad that you like them
Awesome symbolism. Loved it.
Thanks!
@project.hope, First of all congratulations towards all the initial developments you are making team.
Now let's come to the colors:
Yellow.
In my opinion yellow is reflecting the healing light. So we have to create opportunities and those opportunities will going to spread the light of hope.
Blue.
Blue reflects the depth so this project already showcasing the depth of emotions and support.
Red.
Red is Alert ⚠ and Danger and in regards to this project i want to say that in times of crisis we all have to rise with togetherness and have to fight with all the crisis situations.
Keep up the great work team and stay blessed.

Hi!! Hope it's all we need to keep moving forward.
The colors are the colors of my country Venezuela. Yellow blue and Red !

That's correct dear @isgledysduarte :) Congratz. Comment upvoted.
The website makes a good impression. It's nice to look at.
It is a pleasure to be close to this initiative. The feeling of respect and cooperation can be identified with the naked eye. Thank you.
pd: the colors refer to those of the Venezuelan flag.
That's correct dear @yonnathang :) Congratz. Comment upvoted.
Thank you for your kind comment @yonnathang
I seriously appreciate it a lot.
Yours, Piotr
Congratulations on the website
It is informative, clean and pretty
A good job done there, great
I also like the idea behind @project.hope
I will come in between and give some upvote on articles I like and Re-Steemed them
I'm glad you like idea behind this project. And I absolutely appreciate your latest 2 resteems :)
Yes @crypto.piotr, I hope my Re-Steemed allows more people to read the posts
I'm quite happy to read these updates about project. As it is now, I've become too busy with life offline and I wish I'm able to always drop by and read some cool articles as well as support the project.
Thanks @akomoajong for your reply
Perhaps you could consider delegating some of your SP if you don't have time to be active. You will support great cause and you surely will receive more curating rewards that you're currently accumulating.
Check out our passive income program.
Obviously I don't think i need to stress out that your support would help us to grow.
Cheers, Piotr :)
Hey @crypto.piotr and @project.hope - i had a look at your project and all i can say at the moment i find it interesting at glance and i will watch what it will become.
For the moment i see my world here as a content creator myself and a curator at nTopaz as well as me upvoting and in this way also curation and promoting people i have come to know here directly. These are people that supported my work and efforts here as well as some new friends here that i met here along the way. It does already start to feel very personal and direct when i think of some accounts. People that come again and again to my gallery and look at what i create. I have a feeling thats partly what we all seek here.
My profil grew with the support of very real yet few people and accounts that i want to give back to. I grew here and so i select some that i can give this in return to as well. When they grow they will spport more people again. I wish i had more upvoting power to do exactly the same. If i had some 40$ voting power i would upvote some more small accounts and grow in the same my account to increase the upvotes i share. It is pretty cool that i see more of that since HF21 all around me and it helps me too.
Ok long story short - i partly understand what you try to achieve here, but what iam missing yet is 'living the example' for now. I did not came across the project so yet. I dont mind the logo beeing what it is right now or the website beeing a project. But what do you need it exactly for? Some parts are just blurry for me now. So as you become more visible i will suport it as it touches my interest. For now i would like to put my energy and time to whats closest around me here. Its funny i still feel like iam new here and i want to grow a stronger bond with actual people and stabalize. Steem still feels fragile to me. If that makes sense.
Thats where i see people like you valuable yet we have to concentrate on what we can achieve individually looking at what is reasonable to accomplish from our abilities. Please keep me updated and i will help as i can or see fit for the time beeing.
Good luck with the project. Also i say thank you for the community for your efforts.
Steem is always been a community driven content related blockchain. And Project Hope is just one of the many blossoming project in the Steem Blockchainosphere.
Content creators (bloggers/vloggers) of this blockchain will have decent earnings to support their needs as their pursue their passion to spread information.
This project will (and it should be) focus on "marginalized" content creators who are coming from places where there less means of earning online, giving them hope, to keep on fighting against misinformation and poverty.
This project should also have a donation mechanism for projects that tend to help people in poverty.
As members and backers of this project continue to build up the SP and earning of each and every writer, a fund to be set aside for helping poor people, like in Venezuela.
In short, a community of writers that supports each other and giving back to the community the blessing they are enjoying.
Dear @guruvaj
Thanks for your comment buddy :)
Indeed. And I'm glad to know that people like yourselfs are supporting our efforts.
I'm afraid that it won't be possible. I do not want to risk collecting money without being legally prepared to do that. Plus I don't really believe in donation.
Our long term goal is setting up online marketing agency within tech industry and as a community of collaborating influencers we would bring businesses into steem blockchain and offer our services. That's anyway my vision :)
This way several Venezuelans and few other people will be able to earn some extra money for living. Donations is not way to go. Helping people by creating job position is my direction.
Hope I'm making sense :)
Yours, Piotr
Very cool. I am glad that your working on this project here. It is always nice to come check out what you're working on.
Thanks for dropping by and your supportive comment @stever82 :)
Cheers, Piotr
