SPUD8 - The Quest for Steem Power-
SPUD 8 now has bigger prizes thanks to our SPUD sponsors. This should make things even more interesting for the SPUD7 prize winners that wish to keep their titles and prizes, while hopefully making it enticing enough for many other Steemians that haven't heard of SPUD to now participate.
Looking @penguinpablo 's Steem stats, It seems like the Steem Power Downs are once again out numbering the Steem Power Ups. For those of you who don't know what SPUD, I'll explain below, but SPUD is meant to help counter the effects of those Steem Power Downs. At the moment SPUD is just "small potatoes," but should the Steem Community at large band together, it could eventually rival those large Steem Power Downs.
For SPUD8, I intend to include all those who do a Power Up with a SPUD post on December 1, even if they don't qualify for the prizes. @clixmoney asked me about this, and I think it is a good idea to at least mention those that do Power Up but won't make the list due to either a high reputation or to much Steem Power or both. This will also help me gauge a little better how much actual Steem Power gets powered up due to the SPUD event.
Thank you to all who have supported this initiative as well as to those of you who also continue to inspire with your words and generosity. Thanks to our incredible SPUD8 Prize Sponsors, there will be over 12500 in Steem Power Delegations and other prizes.
What is SPUD and How Will It Help?
SPUD stands for STEEM POWER UP DAY, and SPUD 8 can be our secret sauce to help get the Steem price to the Moon!
Ok, well, maybe not to Moon but maybe off the street and at least onto the sidewalk.
For those who still do not know what SPUD is, STEEM POWER UP DAY (SPUD) takes place the first day of every month.
On this day:
- We ask that Steemians that are able, to POWER UP any amount of STEEM they have on SPUD day.
- We ask Steemians that are currently Powering Down, to put a Stop on Powering Down for that Day, and if desired to commence the Power Down the following day.
- We ask that those that trade or sell Steem to Not Sell or Trade Steem on SPUD Day, but to do it the day before or after if possible. Also, to cancel any type of Sell Order on the Exchanges.
SPUD 8 UPDATED PRIZES
The prizes are meant to incentivize the smaller Steemians, the planktons, minnows and aspiring Dolphins out in the Steem Ocean to participate in powering up on SPUD, and hopefully create more understanding as to why Steem Power is what makes the Steem Economy.

Rules to Win Prizes for SPUD8 :
MUST
have a reputation score BELOW 69.00 ( so 68.99 is good & Can participate.) AND more than 150 STEEM POWER (prior to SPUD8) BUT LESS than 7501 Steem Power.
MUST
have a reputation score ABOVE 42 (so rank of 41.99 will Not Win)
MUST
have at least 1 Steem Post in their blog about SPUD8
MUST
Power Up Steem on December 1st, 2019
On December 1st, you MUST
make a post about your POWER UP. It can be as simple as "I powered up X amount of Steem" to a simple picture/screenshot of your Power Up and posted to your Steem blog, or it could be a super long dissertation on Steem Power. IMPORTANT: Use the SPUD and/or SPUD8 Hash tags so that I can be sure to see them.
The winner Must meet all 5 requirements
, and will be the one with the Biggest Steem Power Up PERCENTAGE, not the biggest Power Up. This means that it will be based on the ratio between your current amount of Steem Power and the amount you power up on December 1st.
For Example:
If you have 1000 Steem Power already powered up prior to December 1, and on December you complete steps 1-5 with a 100 Steem Power Up,
and
another Steemian has 200 Steem Powered up prior to December 1, and on December 1st Powers Up 40 Steem, then this 2nd user would be winning with a 20% power up versus the first example with a bigger power up but smaller percentage of only 10% based on their account.
__
The winners will be announced via a Steem Post a few days later, and if no one challenges it or lets me know I missed them after 2 days from Winner Announcement, the Winners become official and the prizes will then be given out.
Thank you to All our SPUD Prize Sponsors and to all SPUD supporters and participants working to get STEEM to higher Elevations!!
Cheers!
