We are down to around the last 24hrs to send you payments for next month's voting. Once the 1st of the month comes, paying members will be closed and we will only be taking delegating members. So please if you plan to pay for your membership with Steem, please do some before tomorrow night, approx 26hrs from now. Around that time the May voting will go live.

Thanks to everyone who sent delegations and payments and have been waiting patiently. So far we have about the same amount of members as last month, so votes and tiers are unchanged. We'll see what the next 24hrs brings, then I will likely take the first few days of the month to watch the VP closely and make any fine tuning, before again opening up for new delegating members.

Once again it is the long term goal to have everyone be a delegating member and limit steem payments so be sure to keep powering up!

Stax is a subscription vote bot!

All quality content creators on steemit are eligible to participate, but it is a fist come first serve basis and membership will be capped to ensure maximum return votes to our members. For members that subscribe to the service the will receive a daily vote on a 22hr timer. The value of this vote will be based on how much a member delegates or pays.

I am working towards making her fully sustainable, through SBD earned on posting rewards so the plan is down the road she will be a delegation only bot, but we have not yet reached that point and we will continue to let members subscribe for service paying with STEEM, but delegation are always preferred. Payments in Steem need to be renewed mothly, while delegations will remain for as long as the delegations stay in place. Any payments or delegations sent now will take effect for May 1st.

Every delegating or paying member is required to cast a return vote on @silvergoldbotty's daily posts. Vote values are based on the the following calculation;100 000/(your active SP)= Your minimum return vote. (This means if you active SP is less than 1000, you will be casting a 100% daily vote) But please feel free to cast a larger vote if you wish to help support this service.

Last month, I experimented with a model when any paying or delegating members could nominate a minnow member to receive a return vote, but unfortunately to ensure long tern sustainability and maximum ROI, this will no longer be occurring this month.

What I have done is made some changes so that members are not obligated to meet certain tiers, and they will receive custom votes for any amount of delegated SP or Payment in Steem.

Currently every 50SP delegated is equal to a payment of 2 STEEM and will give you a return vote of a 1%, each 1% vote is valued at $0.22 currently, but this does fluctuate considerable depending on the STEEM price feed and any changes in delegations. Due to this any ROI can not be guaranteed.

Tier-Title	Delegation	Vote	Vote Value(current)
Gold	2500SP	50%	10.35
Silver	1250SP	25%	5.18
Nickel	650SP	13%	2.75
Copper	400SP	8%	1.65
Lead	200SP	4%	0.88
Minnow	50SP	1%	0.22

Please be aware the tiers above are only suggestions and please feel free to send any amount of delegation or Steem, up to the maximum. You may also send a combination of delegation and steem to reach your desired vote amount. For calculation purposes, 25SP delegation = 1 Steem Payment.

I hope this all make sense, but If not please feel free to ask any questions in the comments or on discord @phelimint #3565

Second Chance Post

Today I wanted to showcase a post from a friend @gniksivart who just had his second child just day's after mine. As expected he's been a bit busy and not around steemit much so I went a took a look and found this update post here. Looks like there have been some minor complications, but sounds like everything is on the right track. Please head over to his blog and show him some love and support! Here a photo from his birth announcement post a few days prior.

Otherwise it's now or never to sign up for our upvoting service for May!
