International House of SPUD

I never really thought much about the International Dateline and how that affects the World. I simply knew that depending on what part of the World you were standing on would depend on what time is was to you locally. People to the East start their day earlier, and people to the west start their day later. Yet, it is not that simple because if you travel far enough West, it then becomes the East, and of course you can not lap time. Since I am not a World traveler I have never personally had to encounter this dilemma of what happens to time when traveling internationally.

Since STEEM is a global phenomenon with its blockchain users spread across many parts of the World, the time and date of a STEEM Blockchain event has to be taken into consideration. STEEM POWER UP DAY (SPUD4) is such an event where the time and date matter to each Steemian in their respective parts of the World. I never truly realized the impact that your place on Earth has as it relates to your time and calendar date until the first SPUD event.

In New Zealand, home to the Kiwi bird, SPUD4 starts in less than 24 hours. I know there are several Kiwis, of the human kind, that are here on the Steem Blockchain. @tattoodjay is from New Zealand but now lives in the USA, and recently, I met @steemit-nz , who is now one of the SPUD4 Prize Sponsors.

Are there any other New Zealanders on Steem? How about Aussie's?

In fact, comment below to let us know from what part of the World you are joining the Steem Blockchain. So far I know of Canadians, Filipinos, Mexicans, Venezuelans, Greeks, Italians, Brits, Americans, Koreans, Columbians, Nigerians, S. Africans, Indonesians, Russians and many others that are on the Steem Blockchain. The Steem Blockchain is truly an International Blockchain meant for the everyday people of the World.

Please help spread the word about SPUD4 by upvoting, blogging, re-steeming and by letting as many Steemians know about this great initiative that even has prizes.

SPUD4 PRIZES & HOW TO WIN

Prizes:

1st Place

  • 2500 Steem Power Delegation for 4 Weeks - sponsored by @xpilar
  • 1000 Steem Power Delegation for 4 Weeks - sponsored by @sultan-aceh
  • 20 SBI shares, "The Gift that keeps on Giving" - sponsored by @jlsplatts

*If the 1st Place Winner is from Aceh, Indonesia

  • +1000 Steem Power Delegation for 4 Weeks - sponsored by @sultan-aceh

2nd Place

  • +1000 Steem Power Delegation for 4 Weeks - sponsor @sultan-aceh

3rd Place

4th Place

  • 250 Steem Power Delegation for 4 Weeks - sponsor @taliakerch
  • 10 Steem Basic Income shares sponsored by me, @streetstyle



Rules to Win Prizes for SPUD4 :

  • MUST have a reputation score BELOW 69.00 ( so 68.99 is good & Can participate.) AND more than 75 STEEM POWER (prior to SPUD4) BUT LESS than 7501 Steem Power.

  • MUST have a reputation score ABOVE 42 (so rank of 41.99 will Not Win)

  • MUST have at least 1 Steem Post in their blog about SPUD4

  • MUST Power Up Steem on August 1st, 2019

  • On August 1st, you MUST make a post about your POWER UP. It can be as simple as "I powered up X amount of Steem" to a simple picture/screenshot of your Power Up and posted to your Steem blog, or it could be a super long dissertation on Steem Power. IMPORTANT: Use the SPUD and/or SPUD4 Hash tags so that I can be sure to see them.

The winner must meet all 5 requirements, and will be the one with the Biggest Steem Power Up PERCENTAGE, not the biggest Power Up. This means that it will be based on the ratio between your current amount of Steem Power and the amount you power up on August 1st.

For Example:

If you have 1000 Steem Power already powered up prior to August 1, and on August 1 you complete steps 1-5 with a 100 Steem Power Up,

and

another Steemian has 100 Steem Powered up prior to August 1, and on August 1st Powers Up 20 Steem, then this 2nd user would be winning with a 20% power up versus the first example with a bigger power up but smaller percentage of only 10% based on their account.

This prize is meant to incentivize the smaller Steemians, the planktons, minnows and barracudas out in the Steem Ocean to participate in powering up on SPUD, and hopefully create more understanding as to why Steem Power is what backs the Steem Economy. The winners will be announced via a Steem Post a few days later, and if no one challenges it or lets me know I missed them after 2 days from Winner Announcement, the Winners become official and the prizes will then be given out.

Thank you to All our Prize Sponsors, Truly Amazing!!

Cheers Everyone, and Happy SPUDDING!

PS, SPUD4 could use this information in all the different languages used on the Steem Blockchain, thank you!!

I mentioned something in my #SPUD4 post about a week and a half ago (I'm a Dolphin! Powering up ahead of #SPUD4), but forgot to come over here and tell you, so I'm doing it now... LOL!

I will give a 100% upvote to the winning posts (unless I've already hit them up, then I'll upvote their most recent post).

Also, I'll give the first prize winner 2.5 Steem, and the second runner up 1.5 Steem (for a total of 4 Steem, because of this being SPUD4 😊).

If I somehow end up being flush with lots of Steem by then, I reserve the right to increase the size of the prizes... 😂

Thank you @traciyork for your support of this #spud4 initiative. And now you are sponsoring several #spud prizes, which is even more amazing.

Thank you so much!!

You're very welcome, @streetstyle! It's not much, but I'm happy to do what I can to support #SPUD4 and the blockchain that we all love so much! 😊

And thank you in return for getting the ball rolling on #SPUD in the first place! 🤗

Love the initiative even though I cannot win any of the prizes, it's great to have users staking their Steem, the more we stake, the more the price goes up. Cheers for organizing this

I am not sure if we will affect the price of Steem this go around. I think we are still too small of a movement, but it is gaining traction and support. We'll see some numbers soon on power ups versus power downs, but for now there are some big accounts that power down that don't help the price when they go to the exchanges with it. Maybe in a few more events like this if it continues to grow we might do so. We'll see, that's for sure.

I did a dpoll for you. Lots of people are in there and may find out about this from the poll:

I am so glad you are doing SPUD again. And the prizes are awesome! Keep going and it will get better each month.

Thanks for the support of #SPUD & #SPUD4

This is awesome!

You are welcome, @streetstyle. Next time I will be better prepared and poll earlier. I do polls once a day usually and this is a good one. I am so happy to see how many people say yes!

Just a reminder i had offered to sponsor 10SBI shares for this :)

oops, I did forget... I will include it on my next #spud post and again, thanks for your support and for sponsoring a prize for #spud4
Take care.

NO worries and glad to help :)

Those are some killer prizes that are going to be given away!! Have fun deciding who wins. Lol. This will be my biggest power-up to date!! Go big or go home
