Right now I am in a project called Food for Venezuela, in which all the SBD liquid that we get in the members' posts, will be invested to make and give food to the needy in the streets of my country, to an approximate measure of 1 Food for each SBD raised, Then I would like to have your voting power to be able to distribute more food to the people of the streets of my country! Besides that I would also like to support other Venezuelans in this platform in the projects they may have to help my country grow.

Hahaha I'd like to have your vote power some century of these mate. And spread joyfully and with justice some wealth around in our robin hood style. But seeing that now it's an act of pure luck that my name could be the one pulled out from your proverbial hat. With my black cloud over my head all the time, I bet my name would never come out unless you fill it exclusively with my name in all the written entries. Because if of 100 entries you write 99 with my name and just 1 with someone else name, I swear that other guy would win in a jiffy. }:)

In the beginning , I used to choose the winner. Then I got too many good ones I liked and I put those in a basket. Last week I chose the best three and made it 'First to Respond Wins'

Last night I made it an all newbies night.

Either way, I actually never get to use my whale power - hehe. I don't vote in order for my power to recover to 100% then I don't vote when someone else is using it. But, if the platform succeeds, then so do I.

Best of luck! You are on my "liked" list for this one.

Hi @htooms,

If I get your voting power, the first thing I'll do is upvote all the charities listed on Steemit. Then I'll go through all my followers who deserve an upvote as so many of them aren't even making any money at all and they all need to be encouraged.
Hope I get the chance.
Cheers.

You can start in about three hours from now. - Time for us both to make a post announcing your win. Do you have a % slider when you vote?

I turn voting on from here and it turns itself off when you run my power down to 80%. My power is at 100% but a 10% vote only renders $3.50

jznsamuel (71) · 7 years ago

Thanks, I'm in IST so it's midnight here, I'll wait for your go ahead :) I do not have a voting slider but I use the one from chainbb to set my vote percentage. Would your vote % match mine?

Okay, I'm assuming mine can go below 80% till yours reaches 80%. Is it hundred 10% votes till it reaches 80? Just clarifying
