Redfish Power UP League and Wall of Fame Week #8

in steem •  6 years ago 

Welcome to the Redfish Power UP League and Wall of Fame. This week we have 2 new accounts join in for some fun and growth. There are now 84 redfish tracking their road to minnowhood. I wish each and every one of you success in growing your account on Steemit. The aim of this challenge is to grow your own SP to 500. To learn more about this initiative please do have a read of the introduction post  

Do you want to join?

You can join, or leave at any stage, all you have to do is leave a comment below and let me know that you want in or out. 

Rule Change  

Because I like to mix things up and make things more fun, and because it would be possible to stay on the top of the league for some time, we have a rule change.

You can only win a prize for being top of the weekly league 2 weeks in a row.  After this you will be asked to select a lucky number and an SBD unit will be granted to who ever is in that position in the league.  

Redfish Power UP League

Every Wednesday I will be connecting to the SteemSQL database managed by @arcange and gathering details on the Owned SP for each person in the league.The current weekly owned SP will be compared to the SP held when the person joined the league and the average weekly % SP growth will be calculated. The person with the highest % weekly SP growth will be on top of the league. When a person reaches owned SP of 500, they will be removed from the league and added to the Wall of Fame.

 

Congratulations

Congratulations to @mmunited achieving an average weekly growth of 129329% in SP putting you on top of this week’s league for the second week in a row.  You will be send 1 SBI unit courtesy of this weeks sponsor @simplymike

Keep in mind the rule change, if you win again next week @mmunited you will have to select a lucky number and the prize will go to someone else 

Congratulations also to @jacekw.dev, @gmatthe2, @hananali,  @sk540,@kinglypalace, @markgritter  @mimismartypants,  @rufruf, and @coinsandchains   as you all are in the top 10 and have an average weekly power up 203% or more.

Congratulations also to @simata and @kriptonik for signing up last week and joining in the league.  Now is really the best time to power up and grow. 

Spot Prizes

Lucky number 15 @resuscitate you will be sent 1 SBI unit
Lucky number 20 @abidemiademok21 you will be sent 1 @dustsweeper basic membership. 

Wall of Fame

There are no changes to the wall of fame this week.

 @giddyupngo, @phoenixwren, @sebbbl, @meetmysuperego and @chekohler are all on the home stretch.  Come on dudes, I am cheering you on.  

Visualize the Internal Market

It is free to trade SBD for STEEM on the internal market, however the information provided is not fantastic. So to help you make an informed decision, we have created an internal market visualization, which we will update daily. You can check it out here  

Help me thank our sponsor

A big shout out to @simplymike. for sponsoring this week’s Redfish Power Up League winner. Thank you very much for your generosity.Would you like to sponsor a prize? Contact me on discord paulag#0515

Shameless Promotion

@steemcommunity is a witness project from myself and @abh12345. There are many good witnesses out there and doing your research is important. I hope you will take the time to read our witness introduction post and consider us as one of your steemit witnesses. If you are not sure how or why to vote for a Steemit witness drop a question below and I will do my best to help you.  

Opportunities for Redfish

There are many opportunities for Redfish to earn STEEM and SBD to use to Power UP. One such project is Pay it Forward and the contests they run. Do have a look at @pifc which will be the home of all Pay It Forward Contests so you can try and win some STEEM or SBD 

 @dustsweeper is also an awesome way for Redfish to ensure they start earning. On Steemit, posts and comments with a payout value of <.02 are not actually paid out. @dustsweeper will sweep all your comments on the 5th/6th day and upvote it above the $0.02 threshold. So you don’t lose out. Every cent counts right. So head over and get yourself and dustsweeper membership and collect every penny you can. 

 @helpie runs daily trivia, live chats, curation and are an awesome community for you to get involved in.  “Helpie is a new and unique educational community within Steemit, designed to help users that are creating quality content grow on the platform" @llfarms.

 If you know of any initiatives ran for redfish, please do pop a comment below with the details.

I don't understand about the rule changes. If I keep winning, I always need to select a lucky number every week.

What are you going to do this week to grow your SP? Please do comment below and let us know.

Yes. I will buy some steem to power up. I am keep buying byteball to exchange with Steem. My object is to reach 500 SP as soon as possible. Thanks you and @simplymike.

awesome work.

The change is to make this contest more fair to everyone. If you keep winning others will get discouraged. So if you are on top of the leader board next week, you will have to pick a lucky number and the prize will be sent to them

Hi @paulag! We are @steem-ua, a new Steem dApp, computing UserAuthority for all accounts on Steem. Starting from the witnesses, UA propagates from user to user based on its followers until equilibirum is reached. We are currently in test modus upvoting quality contributions with a high UA value (UA_author + UA_post)! Your UA_post value is 46.531.

Congratulations to everyone. It is good to see there are still so many motivated people around.
@mmunited, your @steembasicincome share has been sponsored!

Keep growing at this amazing pace!

thank you so much for being our sponsor again. you really rock

You're welcome!
Actually it's you people should thank, you're doing all the work :0)

Congrats to the winners! I am craaaaaawling to the finish line, lol.

lol I wouldn't say crawling. slow and stead but you are also on the home stretch. I am cheering you on. I know you can do it.

Maybe I will finish this at the same time I finish my virtual race which is called "the tortoise creep," lol. Slow and steady indeed!

"Congratulations also to @simata and @kriptonik for signing up last week and joining in the league. Now is really the best time to power up and grow."
I also signed up last week, but I don't find myself on the list.

Do not be discouraged @xplosive. Maybe later in the week you will also be with us. Really like that @paulag

Thank you @simata, you are probably right. Of course, I am not discouraged.
Also thank you to @paulag for doing all this work weekly with the data.

Your welcome @xplosive. 😊

OMG I am sooooooooo sooooooo soooooo sorry. You will be in the league next week. I promise.

  ·  6 years ago (edited)

Absolutely no problem! I completely understand!
Like I said above: "Thank you for doing all this work weekly with the data."

I think I stayed the same, My weekly percentage is going up though, think. Now I just have to figure out how to increase by 200 percent again..... This is starting to get difficult to keep up.
@paulag Thanks for the restreem and the awesome data you are giving us. I think I need to get a subscription to the steem SQL, or stand up my own DB with connectors. of course, then I would have to figure out how to write me a frontend for it as well.... too much to do and never enough time.

if you have the skills to make your own DB then you rock. there is no way I could even start to think about that. To much to do and never enough time is the story of my life lol.

@paulag Time is usually my problem, and I make use of more hours than most people. I just have too much work and other projects to take care of. The DB shouldn't be too bad It's relatively simple compared to the Healthcare DB's I typically work with. It's putting a front end on the DB so other's could access it that would be the hard part for me. I've been trying to figure out which API to use for the connector, steempy has some possibilities. Plus it would take a bit of an investment on my part, and I'm just not there yet. I'm actually looking at the Utopian stuff, trying to figure out how all of that works as well.

utopian is a really good place to start. i'm impresses with your line of thinking and your want to do more. As far as I know, steemit itself have some tutorials in their dev portal, but I dont know if it would help or if it is aimed more at SMTs

Thanks for the resource references, I'll check them out.

@brendanvanbreda and @brandonmay I suggest you join the league! I’m almost a redfish just need to keep pushing. For a free more weeks

Posted using Partiko iOS

You're now a Redfish/Plankton, @chekohler.

You're only 61 SP away from attaining the 500 SP level when you will officially become a Minnow. You'll then join the other Redfish League graduates on the Wall of Fame.

HUGE Congratzzz and I'm cheering you on!!!

This comment was made from https://ulogs.org

Thanks for clearing that up @angelacs and for the support! Yeah I’m soooo close I can almost taste it! Minnowlife awaits

Posted using Partiko iOS

You're Welcome, @chekohler. And YES it does! You'll SOON be there.

and I bet it tastes good

so close. Thank you also for inviting new members :-)

Belated thank you @paulag! I missed you post somehow this week and just wanted to say thank you so much for tracking all of this for us!! :)

you are most welcome, glad you stopped by.

Hey - only just heard about this...
I'm at about 350 SP natively, though am benefiting from two delegations at the moment (one only for this week while I take a turn judging at PIFC.) If I still qualify, I'd like in, please. (I don't plan on hanging around for long - as I quite like this whole slider thing.)

yes you do qualify because it is based on owned SP, not controlling SP. new legaue is out later today and you name will be included :-)

Thank you!

Paula, can i please enter the power up leage,
greeting from Britt from Rotterdam, Holland

greetings from Ireland, gland to have you on board. will be doing the new league today and you name will be on it

I found it hard to make the blog not to find the newbies.

Hi @paulag, i want to join to this league.
I just got this recommendation from @simata. He also invited me to join this league.
😊

the new league will be published later today and you name will be included

Thanks @paulag. It's great to be part of this league.

Hey Paula, have you ever done a Top 10 Self-voters by $ dollars made. I know haejin and berniesanders would rank highly but not sure who else doesn't contribute to the community in a positive way.

This community values supporting one another with votes, so isn't it time we 'out' those that are selfishly upvoting themselves whenever possible?

I'm sure we'd all like to know who the bad actors are around here.

just like you mentioned, we all know who will be in that list. I dont think pointing it out all the time will do me any favors

Congratulations for the above...
Now in rank 11. Tomorrow I will be rank 5 or bla-bla-bla-bla. 😆

Posted using Partiko Android

is that a challenge you have just set your self? I hope you do make it to rank 5 for next week so

That true. This is my target for next week. Even though my opponent has more power. Not a big problem for me. I want to...

This is like my weekly progress checkup report. Thanks to your work I can keep a close eye on my progress rate. I am hoping that with these recent low prices we might have even more graduates in the coming weeks :-)

the next few weeks should be fruitful :-)
Don't forget, many people use some of their earnings in giveaways too, so in the short term they sacrifice their powerups

Don't know why I haven't asked you to join me before @paulag. Replying to your comment on @simplemike earlier I suddenly realized today is Redfish day! So please sign me up.

woohoo @buckaroo ;)

Thanks Cheerleader!

whooowhwooooo glad to have you join in. Minnowhood awaits

Hey, I want to learn more about @steemcommunity , do you have a discord server ?

Link expired, you can choose in the discord server to make the link not to expire, can you send a new one ?

It's set to expire in a day, but i'll try the no-expire: https://discord.gg/Ycb4PTU

I'm trying to login in your server again and something wrong is happening, it telling me to claim an account, please send me a new link to discord directly, you can find me in disord like : clixmoney#0084 , sorry about that.

Hi @paulag. Really appreciate this each week and know how much work is involved. Time to just keep growing and get off your list lol.

@paulag may be starting a Minnow League for Redfish League graduates and others who want to become Dolphins, @cryptoandcoffee. So we can all just switch to that list when we graduate this one. ;)

This comment was made from https://ulogs.org

I actually just asked if she could do such a list which would be fantastic for all of us.

Ok, GREAT!!! Didn't see that, @cryptoandcoffee. Glad you did. The more requests @paulag gets, the more the idea will keep nagging her. ;)

so @crypotandcoffee and @angelacs i would be happy to do one, but let get it right. 500sp to 5000 sp is a lot and too much for just 1. It might demotivate people more than motivate. So give me some suggestions on how we can work it?

  ·  6 years ago (edited)

Hey @paulag,

When I asked near when you started the Redfish League, you suggested splitting it in two Minnow Leagues of 2500 each. That sounded like a good idea then and I think that could still work. UNLESS you'd prefer five different Minnow levels of 1000 SP each.

AND you could also wait until you have a few more Redfish League graduates OR just open it up now so current and future Redfish graduates and Minnows who couldn't join Redfish, could join. Both Redfish grads and the general Minnow population could join the Minnow Leagues, Level 1 or 1-2, depending on how many levels you'd like to open up to begin with.

I'm thinking five levels of 1000SP each would make it less intimidating, Paula and @cryptoandcoffee?

2 might still not be enough, 5 might be better in terms of motivation and as you said less intimidating. Im going to have a chat with @abh12345 about this, he might have some suggestions. But yes I do want to do something here :-)

  ·  6 years ago (edited)

I've always felt and seen the Minnow then later Dolphin, Orca levels of this to be with both you and @abh12345 / Asher, @paulag. Feels perfect for your joint Witness and aligned with what you are both doing separately already.

Just bigger, wider, deeper, more sprawling, always growing 'League' Family. The SP growing grad Leagues would tie in beautifully with your Engagement and Curation Leagues.

Would be the biggest, deepest, most streamlined vertical funnel rank graduation set-up on Steem. ;)

Yeah I agree, I think 4/5 would be best. It's more work for you though :)

I actually think it wont demotivate. Remember the people on your list are here for the long term and it is to help them grow. I for one would be happy with one list up to 5000 SP.

oh thats interesting too

hey... i've seen you before, can't remember where...

Lol. I have seen you as well and just can't place you.

ah you dont really want off my list....you will miss it to much. You are doing awesome work. Soon!

No I don't but would love to scoot off as quickly as possible as that would mean I am over 500 SP. Would like to join the next list if you consider doing one as a graduate list maybe?

I'm stilll in the top ten. Yay! I thought I would have dropped down this week as my account hasn't grown as much this week compared to last week.

yepeeeeeee keep up the good work. You will get to minnowhood sooner than you think

Thank you @paulag

Nice to see more joining each week @paulag! I'm trying to build up my VP right now, so no upvote at the moment; although it's killing me :) Thanks again for encouraging so many!!

lol I had to take a break a few days ago too to build up my VP. breaks are well deserved thou. Steem on, next stop for you is dolphinhood

Good being consistent, just need to push a teeny bit more. Thank you @paulag :) I really like seeing results.

keep pushing, I have full faith you will get there

I have faith that you will too @tryskele :)
