Feed Your Minnows is a great project that @oleg326756 came up with where he would feed his Minnows (his awesome followers). He would make a post once a week and all the SBD earned by the post will be paid out to the registered Minnows.

This inspired me to make a Feed Your Minnows of my own, with a little twist of course!

The awesome minnows who joined Season 1

Wow, I was surprised at how many many users actually registered for the free upvotes! Amazing turn out! We had a total of 41 members who followed the right registration steps! You awesome minnows should have seen some upvotes from @feedyourminnows already!

Registering for Season 2 will let you allow you to stay in the Voting Pool for another week. Next week the upvotes might be even bigger since we will have add a new lease on top of our current one! If you are already a member you know what to do! Scroll down, upvote and comment with #feedme.

Here is a list of all the members who followed the steps of upvoting the post, following and registering with the #feedme comment.

@oleg326756 @rkrijgsman @ladyrebecca @abasinkanga @raserrano @i-steem @drstevegilbert @sixexgames @pratickr @danpaulson @stnwllstrtgc @deemarshall @bankholiday @owenwat @roop @kubbyelizabeth @thirdeye7 @successforall @sumatranate @petisoparado @enjar @mela913 @xervantes @abookworm @shikika @witnezme @nelinoeva @brandongiesing @pipiczech @bachone @yulchata @anitafigueroa @pearica @anyway @angrybird @theleapingkoala @tanyaschutte @prashant @jokossita @hrsagar @erickpinos

Sadly there were some members who didn't follow all the rules and were not included in the voting pool.

Don't worry though, you can still be added to the pool! All you have to do is make sure you follow the rules of this post.

Users who did not follow:

The total SBD earned by the post was 2.083 SBD WHAAAT only 2.083SBD? I said I would use all the SBD to power up the bot, but since it was so little SBD I decided t use 6 Steem of my own to power up the bot! =) You guys are most welcome!

Another bonus was that I got the bot whitelisted for the @minnowbooster leased Steem Power Discount! @minnowbooster have some really awesome guys and the fact that they support projects that support minnows is just amazing! Big shout out to the @buildteam! =)

Currently the bot has 281 Steem Power and is upvoting away at around $0.04 per upvote. Each member can only receive one upvote per 24 hour period. Like spreading the upvotes out making sure no user abuses the system.

SEASON 2 REGISTRATION

What does he do?

He upvotes all you awesome Minnows of course! Once you register as a Minnow who needs some feeding you will be able to receive upvotes from the BOT. He will only start upvoting next week once this post reaches payout. =)

How do you register to be fed?

1. Comment on this post and include the hashtag #feedme in your comment. This will ensure you are registered and ready to be upvoted!

2. Make sure you are a follower. Steemit is a place to make awesome friends so follow and chat a bit, more friend equals more upvotes! No follow, no upvote.

3. Upvote this post. in order for the bot to lease some SP we need to generate some SBD with this post so we can power up the bot and activate him!

It's that simple! When the post reached payout we will take all the registered members who upvoted, followed and registered with the #feedme hashtag in their comment. The bot will then feed them for one whole week! Each week we will have a new Feed Your Minnows Post so if you want to continue being fed make sure to comment and and upvote again to be registered. =)

How the bot operates:

It will upvote each registered Minnow only once every 24 hours, this will keep it fair and make sure some Minnows do now gobble up all the upvotes.

The bot is small for now but all the SBD earned by this post will be used to lease some SP for the bot, that way he will slowly grow and the feed for his Minnows will be more and more each week. =)

Donations and lifetime membership

Donations

The bot will also accept donations to help power up the bot so if you have some extra Steem or SBD lying around and want to help out then feel free to donate to @feedyourminnows. All the funds will be used to power up the bot and help spread the love . So if you want to donate just leave donation in the memo.

Lifetime Membership

Currently the bot will upvote the members for one week, then a new Feed Your Minnows post will be posted and the same procedure of commenting #feedme and upvoting the post will register you for the upcoming week's feeding frenzy! Not all members want to check in every week for the Feed Your Minnows post so the option is there to buy a lifetime membership by transferring 1 Steem/SBD to @feedyourminnows with feedmeforlife in the memo. This will give you a lifetime membership to @feedyourminnows! Once again all funds will go towards growing the bot so he can upvote all the minnows!

Just a recap: FOLLOW - UPVOTE - COMMENT with #feedmehashtag
