#BUILDBETTER CONTEST - 630 STEEM GRAND PRIZE POOL AND MANY SBI given out this week to support BUILDERS New OPEN week starting NOW!

in buildbetter •  5 years ago  (edited)

It has been a tough week, but another one is just starting!

Apart from trying to include #STEEM in my life, I am also building a home and running a small business. We are transitioning from the dry hot summer to the cool, never stop raining season of equatorial Fall. Today we plastered over some electrical installation.

Now what's going on with #STEEM? I'll tell you - every 3 seconds there is another block filled with content, some of it written word, some of it url links, some of it custom json operations. It is currently cheap and easy to get your content into #STEEM's blocks; the barriers to entry have never been lower.

What are you building or what are you supporting that is being built?

This is a contest about supporting those things that are being built on STEEM!

Our Master list of projects continues to grow with some really great additions this week. When I have more time I will be posting more about projects that I have found interesting. I do try to look into every project, and I am happy to say that I have learned of new things I hadn't heard of before!

As we will have at least a few more weeks of open registration, I would encourage all participants to make sure that all of their favorite projects make the master list. The Prize Pool will only continue to sweeten, of that I can assure you!

Hi my friend @ecoinstant,

It’s a pleasure to nominate to Steemitas Club for the amazing growth in less than one month in the Steem blockchain. It was born at the Hardfork 21 (August 27, 2019), taking the Newsteem mindset.
The community is focused on educating and helping new steemians to growth and survive in this platform.

WHO: The founder is @ritch, a professor and excellent advisor related to steem and investing topics.
The team of Steemitas Club looks for an equilibrated team. Recently, two girls were incorporated to the team because of their commitment with this community (@pinkgirl4 and @helengutier2).

WHAT: This community is growing so fast, delegating steempower as possible and joining forces with other communities like @RadioSteemit, @steemterminal, @team-mexico, @mayvileros, among others. They also curate original content and orientate to new users to share better publications.

WHERE: The founder and administrator of the Steemitas Club is @ritch, who is Mexican. You can join to the discord server if you like: https://discord.gg/dYMsF7a

WHY: Because SteemitasClub is a great community based on the Newsteem. I am sure that the support of other Steemians to its growth will be used wisely to help a lot more Steemitas.

HOW: The community is formed by experienced steemians who help in different topics. Some of them are looking for new steemians, others are helping in the discord server and curators are looking for quality content for voting
The community is growing in the most used tokens like spaco, photo, pal, stem, and blq. Also, the community has the support of some steemians who has high Power in Tokens from Steem-Engine.
I like that the liquid rewards are distributed among delegators and steemians following their curation trail or helping other steemians. The votes are not for friends, if your post doesn’t meet the curation requirements it will not be curated.

Hello, I would like to recommend @contestkings. There is a team behind this account but the main people are @o07, @dkid14, and @PhilippeKiene. I am also a mod in the discord and just want to make sure you know that.

Contest Kings delivers reports listing contests that have been verified to have a guaranteed prize and No Upvote, No Resteem, No Follow criteria for participants. They also support these posts with votes. This helps build accounts that giveaway prizes to anyone even brand new users. This also leads to accounts sticking around. I am an example of this. I went from a minnow not sure what I should be doing here. I am now a dolphin and a big reason I did my last big buy was to be move involved in supporting this group. They have involved many others to be part of this project. They also run a guild in steem monsters and are letting anyone join it that is willing to contribute to it. They have also created the Contest Kings Token doing big giveaways to help grow the account. Overall they are building a supportive group of people who love working together to both earn and giveaway things on Steem. You can find out more in their discord

New recommendation:

Who: @mermaidvampire and @cadawg
What: Plankton Token Community
Official account @plankton.token
Where: Asia and UK
Why: Am sharing the goodness of being a plankton token holder for it benefitted my as being a plankton here in by having rewarded daily steem

How: It helps by...free account creation with 10SP delegation. Interactive support for newbie, questions in their Discord server. Daily upvotes. Daily steem rewards for holding their token. They provide information about trading steem and other tokens.

What: Needleworkmonday community
Official account @needleworkmonday
Who: @crosheille
Where: international
Why: I love reading about needlework projects from all over the world and that the steemians there really engage with each other, sharing experiences and helpful tips in the comments.

How: With organising challenges, resteeming posts and making showcase posts with the best project each week, the community brings the participating posts and their authors into the general steem public outside their niche. The community account's upvotes help, too :)

Thank you so much @muscara for this nomination! It would be really awesome getting more support to build up our community and be able to better support the needleworkers and all of the creative work they put out.

Thank you @ecoinstant for this opportunity and wanting to help support projects that are being built to enrich the blockchain!

It has been a pleasure supporting the needlework community with #NeedleWorkMonday and the @needleworkmonday account for the last 2 years! It has definitely enriched my experiences here on the blockchain :)

My recommendation seems I am newly in the contest:

Who: @johndoer123 and @cicisaja
What: @doer-minnows project
Official account @doer-minnows
Where: Asia and UK
Why: I love the doer project, to help the small fish and together reach the minnow hood.
How: doer project hunting 200 and 400 SP and just needed a shove to get them over 500. The faith steemians who made wonderful posts daily, doer-minnows projects need active users to post daily and Stake the power-up, not money thinkers. They posted regularly and engaged the community.

Thanks for the recommendation .. @doer-minnows is small but give a great influence to support others.

Yes, Indeed @cicisaja I am the biggest fun of the @doer-minnows project.

This is an awesome contest @ecoinstant! Thank you for doing your part to help support our awesome community! @chrismadcboy2016 thanks for recommending us to help us get going again and to help us grow. You are simply amazing!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗......hugs for everyone involved!!!

It is my duty to help the community grow brother @johndoer123

The project I would like to nominate @doer-minnors for this.

There this a growing community I know which is called @doer-minnors. Their main goal is to tutor, mentor and support new steemains to rise to minnors. The person behind this initiative is @johndoer123. They helped and supported me when I started out here as a newbie (after I lost my previous account @maxijgcomm) and today to I am close to a minnow in just few months.

The training is usually held in the discord channel which is called "The Den". They as well delegate some steem power to the minnows joins the community and are ready to stay on steemit for the long run.

I have been prodded several times to join this contest. It's a great initiative, I'm just reticent putting myself forward - unless you've ever had an opinionated chat with me online! ;-) So, here goes, and thanks to @ecoinstant for the opportunity.

Who: me, @rycharde (with a little help from a very small group of friends).
The MAP FinTech vote bonds currently consist of three programs: @MAPX (the first experiment), @MAPXV (our most profitable vote bond) and @MAXUV (our open-ended major innovation).
If there is to be one lead project, then it should be @MAXUV.

What: Vote bonds are tradeable tokens that entitle the holder to upvotes, the precise details of which depend on the program, but all are designed so that the upvote received is larger than could be generated from the value of that token being one's own SP. The beauty is that the tokens can easily be bought and sold and income from the overall fund is powered-up as SP, thereby growing both the capital base and the vote values. This is especially important now as (almost) everyone is adjusting to much lower rewards.

Where: The management and posting accounts are on Steem and the tokens are on the Steem Engine DEX. For example, @MAXUV manages the MAXUV token.

Why: These programs are developments from the MAP Rewarder fund managed by @accelerator. MAPR was established in January 2018 and has been paying out profits for some 20 months - we don't even stop for hardforks!

The Steem blockchain is fundamentally a mathematical structure with logical connections and algorithmic functions. By understanding this structure, I have been able to generate above average returns for MAPR delegators. I am now using the same methods to generate income in a different way, combining high value upvotes with compounding the capital. All the funds are asset-backed so should I one day give up and become an anchorite, all funds will be distributed to token holders.

The aim is to help Steem creators improve their rewards while they do what they do best: create. You create the content, I create the rewards. Of course, there are many accounts with more SP than the MAXUV program, but it is open-ended so has no upper limit to the amount of SP it can handle. Indeed, its own voting algorithm only needs a few small tweaks at about 1 million SP.

Worth mentioning that this move into fintech started out as the MAP community, the legacy acronym used to mean the Minnows Accelerator Project, from way back in pre-history when there was little more than PAL helping Steemian. Although the means have morphed over time, from content curation to rewards management, the aim remains to make Steem as profitable as possible for all. Indeed, if the MAP community still existed, it would be loaded up with these vote-bonds so that it could distribute rewards to members, such as through using post beneficiaries.

So, what do users get? Higher upvotes than powering-up the same STEEM, an investment in a fund that powers-up its profits, an increasing token price backed by assets and the ability to sell those tokens without waiting 14 weeks to undelegate and then power-down.

How: Mathematics and proof of thinking. Oh, you mean how can Steemians participate? Go to @MAXUV and read the most recent weekly report.

Thanks for reading.

First, I'd like to thank @ecoinstar for letting me know about this.

Now, I'd like to nominate my own project, GiftGiver.
An explication from the site:

Giftgiver is an initiative to help the onboarding process on the STEEM blockchain. Many users might find it frustrating to run out of Resource Credits(RC) which prevents them from doing any actions on the chain. To help alleviate that, we provide users with a temporary delegation to help get them out of the the RC pit and get back to using the platform.

WHO - @rishi556 with the help of @sn0n

WHAT - @giftgiver, a site that helps users who run out of RC get some SP delegated to them for free to get more RC. https://giftgiver.me

WHERE - The steem blockchain(@giftgiver) and our website, https://giftgiver.me

WHY - I am the creator of it, and do hope that it is useful. But also running out of RC is a serious problem on the onboarding process of steem(as stated by steemit inc themselves on a post today). I don't want new users quitting steem because they can't interact with the chain. Instead I want people to be able to genuinely interact without having to worry about depleting their RC. There is a lot of people using it(check out https://giftgiver.me/postGenerator to see all users who are receiving a delegation at this point) and to them, it might be their only way of getting SP to interact. It is free after all.

HOW - All the power of code. All a user has to do is go to https://giftgiver.me, fill in their username, do the captcha(prevents bots) and hit submit. If everything was all good(not blacklisted and @giftgiver hasn't run out of SP) they get the delegation within seconds. There's manual review to make sure the account isn't spamming.

There's something better than a pot of gold at the end of this contest!

Steem Engine tools

Who: Meh @cadawg

What: Steem Engine tools adds a bunch of tools that as far as I am aware, are unavailable in any other free tools package.

Where: I'm a UK boi, works worldwide

Why: I like free money. Who doesn't? No, in all honesty, I believe that my tools bring greater value to the steem-engine platform.

How: Err... not many people have donated. Thinking about adding APIs for software devs and maybe premium features, but I am not a fan of the idea. Tried ads and they didn't work out well either!

Thanks for your 200.09SP to team-cn ! Your post has earned 10% team-cn upvotes!

I nominate @steemitmamas as one of the builders of STEEM. This group is continually powering up and growing. We have a trail, many members delegate, and we have outside delegators too who see our value. I am proud to be a part of this group and it is one of my best resources here.

WHO - @khimgoh is the leader of this group.@brittandjosie and @mumma-monza are admins. @crosheille leads the needlework sub-section of the group and is an admin.

WHAT - @steemitmamas welcomes all moms, stepmoms, adoptive moms, expecting moms who post on STEEM. There is no other active group on STEEM for #womenincrypto.

WHERE – Our moms are from all over the world, united by raising kids and posting on STEEM.

WHY – Women make up 10% of the crypto space population in general. On STEEM we are 25%+ women. This is a place we can gather and take strength from each other, and get great support while we do.

HOW – Those of us who use the tag, have a chance for manual curation of our posts by the main account and trail voters. We have weekly roundup posts of the best of @steemitmamas for that week. We have contests and many opportunities for post upvotes and SBI shares.

Thank you for the opportunity to feature @steemitmamas, @ecoinstant. Sorry so late, but I have been having wifi difficulties, which are thankfully ended now.
