Well we all want to grow our Steem account! But we can't do this on our own!
As you already know I do want to become a member of the 1K SP group! But sometimes we have to make some sacrifices to grow!
Commitment
Before I went on a holiday I did sponsor @abh12345 engagement league a little bit! I did this 10 weeks in a row! And I decided that I will sponsor it again for 5 more weeks. After these 5 weeks, we will see how my account is doing and evaluate again!
The Engagement league of Asher is build like the name says around engagement. For each comment you will be awarded points and the top 10 after each week will get an award in Steem!
Besides that he offers also the 8 highest ranked participant, not within the top 10, an award if they didn't self vote!
The main prize pool is sponsored by Asher himself and @curie!
Participating at the Engagement League could have the following consequences:
- You can win a prize;
- You can write comments which could get an upvote;
- You can gain followers.
As you can see, there is nothing to loose. If you are not yet participating, go over to the blog of @abh12345 and register! Registering is easy, just drop him a comment and he will add you! That's it!
Lucky 25!
Just like the previous 10 weeks I will sponsor the Lucky number 25! Why the number 25! Well that is easy. Both my sons are born on the 25th day of a month!
And why an extra prize! If you take a look at the weekly leaderboard it becomes obvious that not everybody can be as committed as the leaders! It all depends on how much time you have available to spend on the Steem blockchain!
That's why I did came up with the idea the sponsor the participant ranked at number 25 with a #steembasicincome share! I do believe that with a healthy amount of time available and the correct mindset everybody has the possibility to achieve spot number 25!
Why a steembasicincome share?
Well this is partly selfish on one side and partly to encourage to keep on writing on posts! This could help people to survive the dust threshold, to have a guaranteed paid out per post and so on!
Each SBI share does cost 1 steem! When purchasing an SBI share, you also need to sponsor one to somebody else. So in fact one share only costs 0.5 Steem! Each share represent a certain upvote value, which will be given as long as the program runs!
So, this will set back my progress a little bit, but it will pay off in the end!
So, @abh12345, like written in a comment to you and in this post! You can count on me for another 5 weeks :)
Cheers,
Peter

I really like the idea of giving something away based on the results from the engagement / curation league from Asher. I have 3 Upvote Shares reserved for this aswell. You are really on point when you say that you have to give in order to grow, so few people on Steemit understand this basic idea.

And it is an easy math! If you are upvoting me, than I should have interested in your account to grow! Because that's for me the easiest way to grow faster. Your upvotes will have more value and because we are using busy, the upvote from busy.pay will be higher!
I did read that you were planning to do this! I am just hoping that you won't be giving it to a place in the top 10! The ones below the top 10 are working just as hard, they just have a lack of time!
Maybe it is an idea to give it away based on the own written posts! Because that fits your program! But I do trust it, that you will find a good way to hand them out!
Cheers,
Peter

Hey sorry to bother you but this is totally unrelated, I noticed that @stimp1024 voted at the last second and tanked a bid round, personally I'm not affected because the service I use "guarantees" ROI but I've noticed many, many people have made complaints to him and it's not the first time he's done it, if you could direct him towards steembottracker.com or something so that he could be aware of the nature of bidding rounds that would be really great.

@charitybot, not sure why you posted here rather than contact me direct. It simply is not true that I have had many, many people make a complaint. Also not quite sure why if the service you use "guarantees" ROI you are bothered. I had one complaint recently who could not back up their facts when challenged. I use steembottracker and only bid an amount that will not tank the round, with a margin of error as recommended, other bids may have been made at the same time and cause the tanking of the round though. However the vast majority of my bids do not tank the round, it is not in my interest to cause negative roi for the round. If you check steembottracker you will see that many bots go negative roi, unfortunately there is nothing that can be done about that, that is why I spread my bidding over many bots to overcome the problem, accepting that a percentage of those bids will end up negative roi.
Here are just a couple of examples to back up the above.

I saw from the other comments that you didn't respond to them, so I felt it was appropriate to talk to someone I've seen involved in the betting community who has fielded questions about the community before. I understand that the bid system is not foolproof, and is of course geared towards making the bot owners the most profits, it's quite possible that your bid was sent in around the same time as other bids but I noticed that you have gotten very negative ROI on many bids which is something that the other comment-leaver also noted.

It was one person who spammed several of my posts with the same comment which was fairly in-coherent, to me anyway. He was on my ignore list. When I did reply out of courtesy he could not back up his claims and I called his reply an outright lie, which it was.
As I explained I send a lot of bids, across lots of bots, therefore there is going to be an higher number of negative rounds amongst that. I got over getting cross that any single bid ended up negative and concentrated on spreading the bids to negate the effect. Those two examples I showed I grabbed within two minutes of opening steembottracker to show how frequent it happens. Now I just treat it has something that comes with using bots.
There really isn't any gain for me to make any bidding round negative roi, I check each day that the overall bids for that day are not negative roi in total as a check, that has never happened, therefore spreading the bids negates the problem. There could be other reasons for negative roi on a round such as the information on steembottracker is not correct at time of bid etc etc, too many things to get hung up about, so I don't.

I have seen some more rather rude replies which I have missed because they have been flagged. However I have just done a check of the last 6 bids I have done, they are all positive roi except one to jerrybanfield.
I sent the bid at 17:41 another bid was sent at 17:42 we both saw a positive bid showing on steembottracker and bid, however there were other bids that sent it negative, all would have seen a positive roi at the time of bidding. Rather than get upset about it you just have to accept it happens unfortunately. Bidbots allow a negative roi unfortunately, some don't though as you pointed out, to think people deliberately ruin roi is absurd and I gave up worrying about it months ago.

@stimp1024,
Stop lying! Many people accusation you for your voting and because of you in 90 percent of the time it is with negative ROI ! You vote in the last second and you make it not with one or two bots, but with ALL the bots and it is not one time but you make it in THE WHOLE DAY!!! ! I am okey with that if someone vote in the last second and I lose - it happens but you do it every time, every round, with every bot and the whole day! If you are so addicted to doing this, vote with at least a few bots, not with everyone all day.

I'll just let the facts speak for themselves.... 8 of my last bids and 1 is negative and that wasn't because of my bid, bidding round was full and got placed in this round. Please stop the lies.

@stimp1024, no, I am talking about the bots with more value like appreciator, postpromoter, upmewhale, rocky and upme. This bots you show me are with really small bids. And they minimum is limited to +1 or + 5% ROI. It is really funny that you give them for example. And the big problem is that you make this everytime in every round. I am okey if you make it wrong just one time in a day but when I vote with some bot I am always waiting for you in the last moment to see how much I will lose.
You are forcing me to lose all day or two but I will do it to show that in the majority of cases you are making a loss. And it's really obvious. Every user using these bots will confirm it.

You come with accusations, I come with facts see below, here is 5 latest rounds for those bots, you say I do this every round, well I only have one bid in that lot with Postpromoter. Checking out Postpromoter and "Received 0.001 SBD from postpromoter The current bidding round is full. Your bid has been submitted into the following round".
My bid was placed into a negative round, shit happens, just comes with the game, you have to accept that happens or don't use bidbots.
Can I give you some friendly advice, you need to stop using bid bots if it kills you if you get a negative roi on a bid, there is absolutely nothing you can do about it, it is going to happen and it happens a lot see these rounds as an example.

Superb!
Let's see if I can win it once more.
I was also thinking about sponsoring Ashers league by delegating 50 SP to someone. Any idea how I could pick someone?

That would be a blast! But this week your ranking will be much higher! At least that is what I do expect!
Depends what you want to achieve with the delegation. If you want to help someone grow, I would go for the combination of own written post and self upvotes.
If you want to spread the wealth around, I would pick someone who does upvotes other posts and comments a lot! But then you have to make sure, that these upvotes will count. There is no use, to delegate it to someone who hands out 1% upvotes!
For me, the number 25 was easy! Because I did want to reward to ones who are engaging a lot with the time they have! Also I did want to have a spot in the ranking where it is impossible to aim at!

I twice aimed at spot 25 😜
I just want to encourage gerg engagement. So someone like Glen could be. But I prefer someone a bit lower, so that it could also help someone a bit too grow their account.

It's great to see you are still doing this, @fullcoverbetting. I have been lucky and won your prize twice already. It's a great way to reward those who don't have enough free time to spend on SteemIt.
