The response to the first week of Banana Program was pretty intense, thanks to everyone who entered the first week BANANA PROGRAM challenge! As a result of this, it’s safe to say that over 70 newbies to Steem were welcomed by humans (instead of only bots).
What is Banana Program? Banana Program rewards people who do social and creative tasks. Banana Program was inspired by the Partiko app and is unofficially sponsored by the @stupid account. But BANANA PROGRAM is completely independent and not supported in any way by Partiko. BP is the brainchild of Stellabelle, and its mission can change according to whim, upon no notice.
Each week one winner will be chosen from the BANANA PROGRAM posts. The most creative post will win.
BANANA PROGRAM WEEK 2 TASKS:
Note: To be considered for an upvote, your Banana Program post must be posted with the Partiko app. You must complete all these steps. I will be checking them. ONE POST PER PERSON PER WEEK.
Go to the #introduceyourself tag and welcome 8 new people. Write a comment in their introduceyourself post. List all the names of the people you welcomed in your post.
See example below:
@nonsenseengineer, @madninija, @niteshpoudel, @sendingmylove, @dlachman, @damianswagz, @rohitarena, @anttn
- Make your own handmade banana phone and take a photo of you with your phone.
See example below:
- Make a video of yourself calling a long lost friend on your handmade banana phone. You can upload it on any video platform, YouTube is the easiest, but any is ok.
See example below:
PLEASE TAG YOUR POST WITH ‘bananaprogram’ and ‘partiko’. Also, post a link to your Banana Program Week 2 tasks post in the comments below, so I can find it.
Name your post title: Banana Program Week 2: (add creative flair here)
As you can see the tasks are getting harder and each week a new task is added. The most creative entry will win prizes. Deadline is next Monday 1:00 AM CST USA time.
Video coming soon that shows the prizes that Week 2 winner will receive.

Banana Program is inspired by the fast and beautiful app for the Steem platform, Partiko app The Partiko app uses SteemConnect, so it’s safe to use. The developer of Partiko is an experienced programmer, and his name is @crypto.talk on Steem. Partiko has a discord channel, so drop in for any issues or questions: https://discordapp.com/invite/N7Et97G
Just an FYI, I am not a member of Partiko, nor am I receiving any monetary compensation. I am interested in the retention of users on Steem, and this app has a high retention rate. I feel that it’s the best app in terms of happiness because you receive points for doing things like uprooting, commenting and resteeming. I heard that these points can be converted into upvotes. Also, Partiko doesn’t take any cut of the rewards.
Cheers and Good Luck,
Stellabelle

I was the same way @adelepazani I was going to get involved and then the video make a phone etc etc, and thought, gee I'm so busy with everything else, nope. Good luck to all though. Maybe if they make a week that is just draw cool stuff we'll do it ;)
A drawing week is certainly an option, thanks for the suggestion.

I want banana.
Banana is good, it is life. It will stop my heart if I would eat much.

Hi @ionlysaymeep
I missed you a lot, I remember when I was just starting here at steemit I always converse with you.
meep
Yeah It is true that you are a minnow's friend and you inspired me to socialize more.
meep
Meep if you are a religious blockchain puppet, please pray for me. It is hard to manage my condition aside from the expenses for my medical needs not to mention my goals.

@stellabelle creative and very interesting. I wont hurry to submit my post immediately rather will think something special and will try to come out better performance compared to 1st weeks contest. Thanx for this opportunity.

The tasks are getting harder and intrested.
Posted using Partiko Android
Mmmhhh... I don't know if I have time to do a video... and I need a good idea ;-)
Will think about it.

Me too

Hey @stellabelle and @mikepm74 !
Unfortunately I think I have to pass this week's tasks.
I'm back at work and in these days I'm super busy.
Maybe I can do something in the weekend or I will wait for next week's challenges.
Video editing is Bot my forte :-(
Have a great week!
Next week's task may include 2 videos, 1 video call and a live stream. Dunno exactly but this week is surely easier than the next. But I know @steemitri always looks for bigger challenges.
All the best!
(BTW, I thought mannequins are busier on weekends but yeah, you're different).
It makes sense!
You are right!
I should work my plastic-ass off, haha!
A big plastic-stupid-banana hug!
Steemitri The Mannequin
Yes you should

I always enjoy getting points for "uprooting". Although the weeds don't care for it very much, it does help make the lawn look better, and getting points for it is a super bonus! ;-)
Uproot Alive. That’s what I drink

If it’s so great why am i still miserable?

You are taking the wrong type of roots?
That one is going to be really hard... Making that call :-/ I live in a rural area with bad cell phone reception :-(
Posted using Partiko iOS
You don’t need cell towers for this
Posted using Partiko iOS
Hey, I too have the same problem. But don't worry, I've an easy idea.
We can both erect a cellphone tower with the help of some more bananas (if you know how to make a house of playing cards, just use bananas instead of cards). Watch this video to get an idea:
I'll erect one banana cellphone tower at my end. So when yours is ready, do message me. We'll connect both the towers with thin air stolen from the atmosphere. Thus both of our banana phones can get connected.
Are you ready? I'm dying to talk to you over our banana phones.
Great minds think alike! I had already thought about a banana cellphone tower and started to build a collecting device for thin air from banana peel. Hope we can make it by the deadline :-)))
Thank you! First time in my life someone thought that I've a great mind. Now that we are working as a team, we'll certainly beat the deadline. I'm so excited about it.
Excited too! Finally someone with a suggestion for workable solutions and realistic expectations 😀

Nice project, @stellabelle. Lol. That banana phone was so creative.
I have no doubt that you aren't member of Partiko, it's a cool app that we enjoy using it and would love to recommend it for sure.
This post is featured on my new show (in Chinese :D) for today!
Yeah and did you notice that it's not just creative but a next generation phone with no button to make a call or disconnect the call. You just need to dial a no. and put the phone to your ear, it will auto-connect with its gesture sensing technology. Isn't it amazing? I'll make one too.
Indeed it is! I'm looking forward to see your entry!
Thanks so much!
Posted using Partiko iOS
Interesting task. I have to think twice before participating this week. I'm not use to making a video of myself but I'll be waiting to see who win.
