I'm curious about a little something and hoping for some feedback from everyone regarding voting expectations and frequency of Stax's posts.

I may be mistaken but I though at the first we had first discussed this we decided on daily post from Stax with the hope that everyone chose to support her and we hoped she would grow into a voting powerhouse. That's the reason I added the second chance post and trying to actually include some more meaningful content for the community. Well it seams like it's been working and she's got some real power. The majority is certainly coming from actual donations and the purchased leased but she is sitting on almost 1000SP herself with helps. I'll admit the majority is certainly coming from curation rewards recently.

The one thing we do know is that exciting things are happening here recently with the SBD prices and steem prices. So lets work though something here. Stax's makes approx 5SBD per post and has been getting at least 20Steem once she exchanges it on the market. (these are conservative numbers t's usually a bit more, but follow this). So at the end of the month this will be (20Steemx30days) 600 Steem. Which she's spending directly on the lease with @mattclarke for 30 000SP to use to vote for everyone. (which is about a $4 100% upvote). Of course these are all conservative numbers and it's likely higher.

I think this is pretty huge! And awesome to be able to give back like that, for nothing really

It was suggested that perhaps Stax's doesn't post everyday, but I personally think that would be missing out on a huge opportunity! But heck I'd be happy not to do it everyday. It's a lot of work, and a lot of times there are other things I'd rather be doing.

I also want to give this background to explain why I do post everyday and why I suggest everyone vote for Stax's daily and with a high power level

This is the same reason she cast's a daily self vote, this really adds up and it's free steem for the lease and ongoing voting. It really adds up to a huge amount! I've never audited the level people vote at, I've never said 100% vote was mandatory, but it shows up, most do choose to vote at 100% but some are less. Some vote on Stax's comments, some don't. Except for the end of the month when I calculate tiers I never pay much attention. It's a small donation and token to the community and too each other and of course to yourself as well. Some guys have even asked that they don't receive credit for voting on Stax's post and don't want to receive any return vote.

I know when we more to tiers voting is only going to used for the minnow(copper tier calculation) since that's all I think we should really be expecting and asking from them. They should be investing there steem/sbd into SP and growing their accounts.

So for everyone else the donations and delegations are going to be used for higher tier calculations. (And heck even copper level is likely going to results in a $1 vote on all your posts) By all means no one has to send donations and no one has to vote, this is just my explanation and background on this.

Maybe some people see this as a circle jerk and don't want to be a part of it. Some see it as a lucrative investment with amazing returns. Who knows, maybe if steem really does rise in value down the line, we can all be driving Lamborghini's and hanging out in the tropics together once a year.

Sorry I feel like I went off on a little tangent there. I guess my question is does everyone want a daily post from Stax or should she post less frequently

Shit that really went of the rails a bit, sorry for the rant, but I really wanted to get this out there

Second Chance Post

I don't think I get a chance to shout out @golderarms too often these days. He's been exploring the wide world and steemit and killing it in the process. Talk about a guy who found his niche around here and keeps it real. Well he was finally able to pick up some new silver for stack and stopped by to show it off to us HERE. It came from non other than @raybrockman himself and you know that means it's going to have something extra. Check out this round that was the something extra, you'll have to check out the post to see what the actual purchase was (but I think the extra was way better).

Just read everything above I'm not going to say anything else here today
