RE: T - Minus 40 Hours - Are you Ready to SPUD?
Dear @kiwiscanfly, @xpilar
Great initiative.
However, I honestly do not understand why only % increase is being taken into considaration.
It simply means, that noone who have more than 1k SP would probably participate. After all - if such a person would like to compete with other smaller accounts, then such user would need to use 20 times more resources comparing to someone who has initially 50SP.
I've myself considered joining since I've enough funds on binance to purchase 5-6k steem and power it up. However I do not see a point in doing so (as I have almost 4k SP and someone with 100 SP would reach same % by only purchasing and powering up another 150 SP).
Other than that - this is surely solid initiative.
Yours,
Piotr
Hi @crypto.piotr @kiwiscanfly @juanmolina
The prizes are meant to incentivize the smaller Steemians, the planktons, minnows and aspiring Dolphins out in the Steem Ocean to participate in powering up on SPUD4STEEM and hopefully create more understanding as to why Steem Power is important to user account growth as well as a show or Steem Blockchain support.
Therefore, the % basis is very important here so that a small account has the opportunity to win in this competition. It is important to see the point in the competition.
If changes are made in the competition, it must be divided into groups with the number of SteemPower so that those with small accounts will also have the opportunity.
SPUD4STEEM is not just a competition, it stands for STEEM POWER UP DAY which takes place the first day of every month.
We ask that Steemians that are able, to POWER UP any amount of STEEM they have on SPUD4STEEM day.
We ask Steemians that are currently Powering Down, to put a Stop on Powering Down for that Day
We ask that those that trade or sell Steem to Not Sell or Trade Steem on SPUD4STEEM Day, but to do it the day before or after if possible. Also, to cancel any type of Sell Order on the Exchanges.
As I say this is more than pure competition, because it is about that everyone can do SPUD4STEEM the first of every month.
Yes, anyone can support this project even if they are outside the rules of the competition
Dear @xpilar
Thank you for your prompt reply
That absolutely make sense. However only in theory. I spoke with few users about them joining SPUD and reply I received was pretty much always the same, that they have already to much SP to be able to compete.
And those were words coming from users having 300-400 SP. I would also consider those users to be VERY small. However this initiative is already ... not for them (to hard to compete with anyone who would have 50-100 SP as a starting point).
Hope you see what I'm trying to say? Those rules are limiting your audience to people, who simply have close to zero SP. Anyone with 300 SP (or above) has no chance against them.
After all - it's like promoting "being poor". Saying that "poorer you are - more chance for you to win".
My impression is, that those who participate see it as a competition. At least that's my impression after several talks here and there :)
ps.
I've spoke to Kiwi and I suggested that I could allocate few upvotes from crypto.piotr and project.hope (300k SP) and join group of "sponsors" for your next SPUDs.
Cheers
Piotr
