After hanging around the @minnowsupport project's help channel in the P.A.L. Discord group, as well as the #help channel in steemit.chat, it is clear that many new minnows are unable to use transact on the steem blockchain. This is due to a lack of bandwidth caused by heavy use on the Steem network.
I want to help as much as I can, so, instead of telling every new user to "be patient", I've decided to run a contest for all of you who are currently unable to transact due to their low bandwidth.
The goal of the contest will be to select a few new users who I will delegate Steem Power to in order for them to be able to once again have enough bandwidth to interact on Steem. I would love to delegate to all new users, but I unfortunately do not have that kind of Steem Power.
What is up with the bandwidth?
In order to send transaction on a cryptocurrency - like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Monero - the user sending the coins has to pay a transaction fee. This ensures that their transaction makes it into the next blog that gets mined. In the example of Bitcoin, this can take literal hours if the set fee is too small.
On the steem blockchain, we do not have transaction fees. This is great since every post, comment, and upvote is basically a transaction. If we had to pay for every single action, we all would quickly go broke. Luckily Steem has what is know as "Dynamic Fractional Reserves" (DFR). DFR is basically a fancy way to say that every user gets a slice of the bandwidth based on their total Steem Power.
This gets measured on a weekly basis to find the user's average bandwidth usage. Every time a user makes a transaction (post, comment, upvote, downvote, sends STEEM or SDB) it gets factored into their own "moving average". In my case, the Steem transactions I make each day get averaged together over a weeks time. If I create more transactions than my average my bandwidth would dry up.
This is where it gets iffy for new users. The version of the STEEM white paper that was published August 2017 states the following:
It is possible for a low-balance account created during a time of low usage to become inaccessible if the network usage picks up.
While this does not tell us about Steem Power's relation in our allotted bandwidth, it does tell us that, when the network picks up, some users may find it impossible to use the STEEM network. This is exactly what we are experiencing with new accounts lately, especially when the United States wakes up and begins using the Steem platform.
The STEEM Blue Paper sheds light on Steem Power's role in the amount of bandwidth a user has:
Bandwidth limits adjust based on network use, so users have a higher bandwidth allowance when the network usage is low. The amount of bandwidth that an account is allowed is directly proportional to the amount of Steem Power a user has, so users can always increase their bandwidth allowance by getting additional Steem Power.
This can be a real deterrent to any new Steemian eager to create on this amazing platform. However, this does help mitigate spam transactions from new accounts created solely for spamming.
There are ideas to combat this issue floating around that we unfortunately do not have the time to get into in this post, but, the idea here is to help new users understand that they are not getting punished.
The best way to make sure we have enough bandwidth in order to create during high usage peaks is to have more Steem Power. This begs the question, though, how can we get more Steem Power if we are unable to transact?
Quite the chicken and the egg problem we have here.
One way would be to find a time when the network is not bogged down so those with low Steem Power can interact.
Unfortunately, when we are used to signing up on centralized platforms and instantly create, comment, and upvote, waiting seems a weak solution. It also already builds on top of the long wait new users have to go through in order to get an account in the first place. But I digress...
The Contest
So I want to help three new Steemians by delegating enough Steem Power to them for a couple weeks or so. This will allow them to build up their own Steem Power so they will no longer need my assistance. I will run this contest every so often in order to give new users the chance to use the Steem platform on their time.
It is a bit of a shame that I need to run this as a contest, but I am not a whale with a crazy amount of Steem Power so I can only do so much. Hopefully, the users I delegate to will be able to earn enough Steem Power in a week or two to where I can run this delegation as close to twice a week as possible.
The Rules:
- If you are able please comment below that you would like to enter. If you are not able to comment (because of bandwidth) please send a private message to
jrswab#3431
on Discord orjrswab
on steemit.chat. - After twenty four hours, I will look over the candidates who entered and determine who to delegate Steem Power to.
-- I will be choosing users who create good content. It is my goal to improve the overall quality on the Steem network as much as possible, so I will not be delegating to accounts that show little or no effort to create the best work they can. (Yes, this is subjective.) - If selected, the user must agree to my coaching aimed to help them move their blog to the "next level". Not everyone may need this, so if I want to help you improve, I will let you know.
- The selected users must use the 50/50 payout option in order to exchange the earned SBD the following week into STEEM.
- The selected users have to show a willingness to improve both their content, and the Steem ecosystem as a whole.
I wish I could help every new user out, but I am only so "powerful" (that sounds weird). I plan to run this twice a week as long as bandwidth for new users is still an issue, and the first round of users earned Steem Power can support them! This is an experiment for both me and the new minnows so we should expect the rules and time frames to change next round.

Yes yes and yes. I am trying to make quality content through my motivation series and health education posts. I am also conducting my own contest to help out fellow minnows grow as contests have made it easier for me here. I fully support @steemiteducation for their great educational posts, @thealliance as they push me better to make quality content and @air-clinic as I want health care to be made available for all. I want to better support these groups through my steem power as I am trying to gain more influence here.
I really feel your empathy towards minnows. I have such high respect for you for helping others grow. Hope to be someone like you someday. Its really great to be an agent of change for others. I may not get the delegation but I know either way you are helping a lot of people here.
I salute you and your work and I will continue with my contests to make the steemit community better for everyone

Thanks for this amazing post. I feel like I understand bandwidth a whole lot better. I only have one question, does bandwidth recover by itself over time, or can you get completely locked out?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

So this is one thing I should have made more clear. Let's say that the steem network has a 100GB bandwidth and 100 users. Those 100 users get a portion of the 100GBs allotted to them based on the amount of SP they all have. If everyone is on at the same time the user with the lowest SP and in turn the lowest bandwidth may find themselves 'locked out'. This especially happens when the account is new and has a zero bandwidth average from the past week.
It's tricky but the short answer is no. Bandwidth will not recover as long as there are a lot of users online. As other users hop off the network more bandwidth is freed and the then 'locked out' users will find that they are able to transact agian.
I hope I answered your question. I am still studying the white paper myself and it's not as easy as it seems.

Hey! This is so amazing... just found my way to your page thanks to @wandrnose7 after losing all my bandwidth in the first day!
You might say I 'Steemed on in there' and got a bit excited with my follows, comments and upvotes without knowing what I was doing!
I'm a travelling poet and spoken word performance artist and am here on Earth to make it a better place.
I'm SOOO Excited to have come across Steemit and have this beautiful platform to be inspired, to share my art and to connect with other like-minded souls - it feels like such a blessing!
Anyway - I digress.
I would love to enter the contest and agree to all the rules - and am especially interested in any coaching you could offer me!
I keep my fingers crossed :)
Thank you so much for this amazing and generous idea @jrswab to help clueless N00Bs like me from total failure! I have a lot of great quality content to bring this site.. I hope I can get a chance to do so!

As soon as US wakes up the bandwidth issues become real. I was going through this bandwidth issue a lot myself. I was getting only 55kb and 75kb. Recently i got steem power delegated to me from a kind person. This solved my bandwidth problem. Now i am able to use Steemit during active Hours. He gave me this steem delegation because of my participation in his contest. I did good and he chose to reward me.
I am truly thankful to him for delegating me steempower and to you for helping the other new comers.
I wish best of luck to who ever is participating.
I just came here to thank you helping minnows.

Oh man!! this is an amazing initiative. Granted that my steemit blog is less than 2 weeks old, I still think I would be a good candidate for this delegation.
Not only am I dedicated to creating daily high-quality posts but also to commenting meaningfully to other users! Of course, that is quite difficult when you have limited bandwidth, and I have to limit my comments. In that sense, I am unable to respond to all those who reply to me, as well as being unable to comment/upvote content which I like. Thank you for doing this, and I am sure whoever you will choose will be (and probably already is) a great addition to the steem community!

During my time at Steemit I have learned a lot and this has changed the way I see things, everything comes at the time no matter the time or the place everything depends on the opportunities that may arise and the ability we have to take advantage of them 100% .
We can build a tower of ideas and turn them into reality, if we focus on what we want it sounds like something that only happens in movies but the truth is that in Steemit dreams can come true, with motivation and vision to the future to achieve what we want.
Within Steemit there are endless projects that have great ideas, others that are in full growth as well as some projects with more humanitarian purposes that really leave the name of steemit at the top of the world filling the entire community with pride . These projects generate enough energy in this platform to continue working on innovative projects. This brings a great responsibility, since our most loyal followers are waiting for good content and ideas that can help us grow as a group and we can share this knowledge with the other users that make up the Steemit family. @jrswab

First of all i am really appreciate they way you're contributing at your end to make this community a place of love and harmony as a whole just like the @ned had a vision about this. Actually this community is always a WIN-WIN platform and everyone gets triumph in anyways. I am always a huge fan of great researched based articles to increase my knowledge because i am a Teacher by profession so it is really lovable thing for me to learn new things. It's been almost 35 days i joined this awesome platform that actually changed my life as a whole. For this i followed many Whales and Dolphins so that i might learn it deeply, after doing consecutive comments Band Width Issue occurred with me which actually stopped this amazing journey for a while. But i am so passionate about it and i never felt down :)
I am really impressed by this amazing effort you're putting @jrswab to help minnows like us those have potential to contribute at their own ends in the form of wonderful content.
I am really looking forward to hear from you The Great Soul <3

This is a very noble contest, because the influence of Steem power can lead to unintentional starters, the way you create contests like this is a very praised thing by beginners, although they are somewhat difficult to write articles like those in the rules.

I am a steemian who has problems with bandwidth every night, I have a steemit community that I share in 3 small groups totaling 43 people, if you give me the opportunity of steem power delegation, I will use it to share with themI will upvote them and others, so they can increase their steam power after 7 days, 14 days you delegate will be very meaningful.
I'm sorry, I use google translation, maybe the sentence is a little different, but I'm sure you can understand it

Thank you so much! I am always free on Discord to chat when needed.
There are a few people in the steemit.chat help channel saying this all planned but I don't see that being the case. Steem has a lot of new users and with free transactions there has to be bandwidth limits.

Awesome! I have just read this article and would have loved to have seen it yesterday. I was unable to use steemit for well over 24 hours 2 days a go, found a brief window to post a challenge for Wednesday then was told I exceeded my limit and had to wait a few more hours for it to increase. It was so frustrating and more than a little demotivating. I kept checking on my bandwidth allowance and it greatly decreased even though I couldn't do anything in steemit It also fluctuated a lot which had me baffled. I seem to have enough bandwidth today but I am too afraid to stretch my luck. It happened to me a couple of weeks earlier and had no idea what was happening. I'm more informed now but need to know roughly how much content uses up what percentage of bandwidth. When I exceeded it 3 days ago I had just resteemed a very large post with a huge amount of comments and wondered if that caused my bandwidth to be used up. This is a wonderful initiative to assist newbies with quality content keen to make progress. I don't know if I qualify but I know I would truly appreciate assistance. Thanks for shedding new light on this frustrating issue @jrswab

Check on it at different times of the day. There may be a window that you will run into where the amount of traffic dies down.

Yes @jrswab. I have now got into the habit of checking it more often and if I have a blog with more than 4 images to post, I will get it prepared and post it when I have plenty of bandwidth available but I have noticed that it can decrease within a very short space of time. I’m assuming that the bigger the post, the more bandwidth is used?

I have not found the answer to that yet but am looking. It seems logical that would be the case but I don't want to say it is without being sure.

Fair enough. I appreciate your honesty @jrswab I actually decreased the size of my images yesterday and posted 3 posts (throughout the day) to do the exercise and had still had a little bandwidth to play with. But I noticed big problems a few days ago with more than 24 hours without being able to do anything on steemit after I resteemed a massive post entitled, "Health Squared," I'm very wary about doing that again, unless it was a coincidence. I'd appreciate feedback on that if you are able to.

hi @jrswab
I came across your content by accident and am happy to see others who like to help others too : )
I invited @safaax to steemit personally as I know she will create quality contents. So, as you can see in her wallet, I delegated her the half of my power even with my little pocket ^^ So, then my brother @faruk delegated me his power as I am using steemit regulary.
I would like to ask, if you could lend her some power, maybe just as much as I did , which would be a very small sum in relation to your wallet : )
to the person of @safaax : In januar 2018 we met in morocco by couchsurfing hangout and since then we are writing a common daily here on steemit about education, philosophy, physics and just about the life like a poem.
I recognized in morocco that the students have so much potential but also just as much hurdles in every sort of accessebilities to education : (
maybe my dimension is even smaller but we have to start somewhere to help and give.
