♣️ My View on #club5050 Eligibility
The topic of club5050, club75 and club100 has divided opinion on Steemit. Whilst many users have "embraced" the initiative, others have been openly critical. Whether you like it or not, the sentiment behind the initiative is clear - asking more users to Power Up more STEEM.
Since launching, a few users have created tools to check club status against with the simple logic of...
You Power Up More Than You Transfer Out
Simple enough and in my opinion, too simple.
An Example
If I were to earn 1000 STEEM, Power Up 1 STEEM and withdraw 0 STEEM then technically, I'm in club100 aren't I?
But then what of the 999 STEEM? This isn't really in keeping with the spirit of clubs and in my opinion, it's certainly not supporting the initiative.
Igniting the Spirit of Clubs
So as many of you already know, I created my own tool which I believe reflects the intent behind clubs and is more in keeping with clubs underlying raison d'etre.
This tool is openly available to all - simply change the username in the URL after "author=" to your username to see your status.
This is the tool that our @steemcurator08 curation team is using to determine club eligibility. Those users that have powered up 200 STEEM and have over 1800 STEEM sat in their wallet will obviously not like this (as we've already found out) but I can't help but feel that these users are deliberately ignoring the reason that clubs were created.
