Bloggery #1: Bad idea :(
After receiving a flag for vote buying, we want to offer our public apologies towards people who believed or assumed there was any malicious attempt attached to our Bloggery.
We planned this concept in a brainstorming moment without thinking further than our good intentions reached.
The bloggery will be suspended as we speak - And we do not advice other people attempting the same concept since the downvoters are right; It can be considered as vote buying, no matter how good the intentions or people behind it are.
Please remove your votes and let's forget about this whole thing.
I do feel there we have to apologize for not thinking about the "malicious" and "bad intention" aspect, we did just a mistake by that! I want to apologize for this, because, if i'm thinking twice, this was just a bad idea.
AFTER THINKING ABOUT MORE - THE SIGNAL THIS COULD SEND OUT TO OTHER USERS WOULD POSSIBLE HARM OTHER USER – THIS WAS JUST A BAD IDEA - SO THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU ACT HERE! SRY AGAIN GUYS!!

Good one, reaaally good one.
Sound interesting count me in buddy .
What a fantastic idea! Ingenious :)
Very cool idea Steve. I wasn't into the recent lottery on steemit, but this is much savvier and fair. The result of the lottery was questionable: the last person buying in won and the algorithm was stated to not be provably fair. @brunopro details it more in his blog here
9.5 minutes or 9.5 hours :p ?
I like the creativity of your post @steve-walschot but I also hope that steemit doesn't start a trend of having contests that are solely based on upvotes and nothing else.
I don't think it engages the user properly and could easily be copied by many others and I feel that would hurt the overall experience.
Maybe a separate feed for contests that only require a comment or upvote could be created.
I in no way wish to discourage contests, but would love to have a little more substance to them.
It would be nice if people would post move voting declarations in #myvotingdeclaration .
Dont be too hard on yourselfs guys, I thought it was a cool idea... I know you had no bad intentions in mind.
Best of luck in future endeavors
