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.
What are you going to do this week to grow your SP? Please do comment below and let us know
I don't understand about the rule changes. If I keep winning, I always need to select a lucky number every week.
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.

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.

@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

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!!!

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.)

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.

@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. ;)

Ok, GREAT!!! Didn't see that, @cryptoandcoffee. Glad you did. The more requests @paulag gets, the more the idea will keep nagging her. ;)
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
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?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
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?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
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 :-)
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

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 :)
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

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.
