Quick update on $100 comment giveaway, and a small complication
\\
Before we start, I need to get this out of the way first! My initial intention was to share some of the wealth that was given to me for a comment I made (courtesy of @neoxian and @kingscrown), but fastforward to today, where I have collected my payout for the big one. Supposed $100 comment ended up being worth waaaaayyy less. 50% seems kinda shitty now...
I won't pretend to understand what caused it, so let's not go there. Anyway, I think I'll just giveaway 100% of the comment rewards at this point.
I'll be on the move for the next 2 days so I'll send the $$ whenever I can. I just made this post so you guys know I didn't bail on you.
So here's what I'm going to do. Instead of 10 STEEM to 3 people, I will send 5 SBD to the winners, and 2 SBD to all others who participated (or left a nice comment). This adds up to be a bit more than what I earned for the comment, but I'm changing things up a little so the reward is shared amongst everyone instead of just 3 guys.
5 SBD winners
Congrats guys, thanks for taking part
@mrjohnson, @timeshiftarts, @clintjunior
Keep at it with those quality comments!
Consolation prize for the other doods
Recently a lot of minnows have been losing motivation because of the decreasing payouts, etc. Maybe this small gesture will provide you guys with encouragement to keep going!
The Steemit community can only grow if we're supportive of each other. We want to attract new users while retaining the current userbase. This will be hard to accomplish if everyone on Steemit is too busy looking out only for themselves. I don't want to elaborate too much here, so I'll probably do a post on it when I have time.
Sooo I'm sending 2 SBD to everyone else who took part in the giveaway (or left a nice comment). I know it's not a big amount, but hey, I'm just a minnow like you guys. It's enough for a coffee or even a meal in some countries, so don't complain!

Hi Nic! Just wanted to see if you have any new posts. Ha where have you been? :D Anyway, really appreciate your update on the giveaway. I just learned recently too that the payout is actually a lot less than the $ number displayed below each post/comment. Why is it so? Isn't better to just show as it is to avoid false hope? lol
hey! i just got back home a couple days ago, so super busy with getting settled into my new place, new car, etc.
haven't even had time to send the prizes for this giveaway yet! i'll definitely find some time to do it and start posting again in the coming days, as soon as it's less hectic.
anyway, how have you been? you haven't done the post on the "interesting building" yet, i need to know the answer!!
Welcome back!! Look forward to your new posts and yea i understand it's difficult to keep blogging when you're super busy with other things.
Thank you for reminding me about the building! Yes i do remember :D It's just that the photos i took really don't do any justice to the place..lol .. maybe i will just share other people's photos too! And credit them. Cya around!
Thank you so much Nic! I got your Steem dollar! (P.S. i was going to type an abbreviation of Steem Dollar...STD then realized that didn't seem right.. LOLLL)
just call me the giver of STDs then heh
Hey man, I don't think I got my prize money?
hey, i haven't gotten around to sending it out yet man, sorry. i explained in one of my comments here that i'll be sending it as soon things are less hectic for me since i just got back home and i have a bunch of things to do.
actually, i'll just send yours first ahead of the rest. sorry for the wait!
Hey that's really fantastic of you thanks! I truly appreciate it :-)
