Upvote Shares | Steem Refund Requests

I made a post with a proposal for a Steem Exit Strategy last week (Link) and moved forward initiating the first-ever STEEM Power Down so everyone who wants can claim the investment represented by their Shares in the program back as promised.

Moving Forward On Hive

The @upvoteshares project will continue moving forward on Hive and level 22 will be opened somewhere next month. All share values and upvotes remain exactly the same there. It is not possible to claim back Hive as for now, but everyone is free to sell what they have at any given time and will get their Hive Refunded in case the project somehow comes to an end there as stated in the Terms & Conditions.

Moving Forward On Steem

The intention is to keep the Upvotes going for everyone who has active shares (I will be using steemrewarding.com instead of steemauto which shut down). Given the circumstances, I won't be moving the program forward on Steem unless something was to change. Until that point, everyone is able to claim their Steem represented by the shares they own back without any exit costs.

This is the current balance I have on what each shareholder can claim back. Please let me know if I made a mistake somewhere. Everything is documented on the blockchain and should be easy to be verified.

* Sponsored shares, refund request will give the STEEM back to the account that paid for the shares.

STEEM REFUND PROCEDURE

• Please check and make sure that the amount of STEEM you can claim back as listed in the table above is correct. It is possible that I made a small mistake somewhere. It should be easy to check to get it correct if this is the case.
• Reply to this post (Steem Refund Requests) on Steem or Hive or contact me on Discord if you want a refund. You can choose a full refund or a refund for part of your shares and stay on board with what you have left after. The more expensive newer shares will be paid back first in case you request a partial refund. There is no need to do anything if you just like to keep your shares and you can always get them refunded when you choose in the future.
• I will review the request to make sure I didn't make a mistake and refund the Steem leaving a message below your reply to confirm it's done and that you are out. Refunds will be done first come first serve and might take some time depending on the power down period.
• Upvotes will be adjusted based on new balances and added to steemrewarding as soon as I can.

That's it, pretty straightforward as usual. Thanks to everyone for the trust shown in this project and I'm looking forward to continue moving things forward on Hive. As always, feel free to let me know if there are any questions, remarks, suggestions...
