Dear travelers, with a deep sadness in my heart I have to put "The 24 Hours Тravel Photo Contest" on hold for an unknown period of time!

What are the reasons that took me to that decision?

Our favorite block-chain has become a village arena or you may call it also a children playground for bot wars, whale wars and so on. Steem Basic Income was recently targeted too with its subscribers getting downvotes as a "reward" for their long-term investment strategy. As SBI is the main contest instrument for rewarding your efforts to show beautiful and interesting places and moments I am deeply disappointed that this great initiative was declared a "vote circle" by certain powerful accounts. So the travel contest will be on pause until and if this is resolved.

Here is the official announcement by @steembasicincome:

"We are aware of the new 'tax' on SBI votes. We have a supporter with Polish contacts trying to reach out and better explain what we are about. In the meantime, you're free to use #sbi-skip to either wait it out or accumulate pending vote until his 'tax' is small relative to your vote received.
He marked at 10% of our vote without respect to differing VP across accounts, so holding vote until your estimated next vote is higher than sbi2 can deliver is still an effective strategy"

Thank you so much for your work, amazing entries, support and appreciation, I hope to see you again soon!
