Building a successful community requires people with various skill sets as well as those with different means. Here at SteemSilverGold, we have a highly skilled community; however, the one thing that we lack here at SteemSilverGold is steem power.
Without sufficient steem power, it will be extremely difficult to achieve our 2nd goal: Ensure members are rewarded for great content.
Now, if we did not already produce good content, then it would almost be an impossible task to attract anybody to our community, much less attract whales or dolphins. However, given the fact that we are already producing great content, and Steemit already has whales and dolphins that are either gold & silver stackers or interested in gold and silver (or both); it should be possible for us to attract them to our community, to contribute their “means.”
I am aware of the following whales and dolphins that are (or might be) into gold and silver:
@neoxian (he loves gold), @fyrstikken (surely he does – probably silver), @thejohalfiles (I think he likes silver too), @goldmatters (generous steemian and already a member), @broncnutz (generous steemian and already a member), @hr1(not sure might be a misunderstanding), @crypto-investor (not sure might be a misunderstanding) @glitterfart (not sure might be a misunderstanding) @papa-pepper(not sure might be a misunderstanding) @kevinwong (not sure might be a misunderstanding),@hilarski (he probably stacks).
If you are on the list, we would like to hear from you, whether you are a stacker, and (if not) why you are not a member of Steemit’s gold and silver community. If you are on the list, but not a stacker, then we would definitely like to tell you why you should be a stacker, and why you should join our community – so please get in touch.
SteemSilverGold, if you can add to this list, please do so in the comments.

I am @hgmsilvergold Secretary SteemSilverGold
Count me in. Sorry forgot to resteem yesterday's post.
sorry, too many Aussies already;) ...just kidding, we love Aussies here at SteemSilverGold.
Welcome to SteemSilverGold.
Great update on the status of the group. The more Silver/Gold stackers, the Better... STACK On #steemsilvergold
thanks. we are growing for sure
I found this to be a great way to now go look at other members with a similar interest and support their content. I Love STEEMIT !
true...steem on.
That I will and Thank You for taking the time to reply..............
Hi @hgmsilvergold this post just threw this minnow silver-stacker into a tail-spin.
What about the minnows?
I thought I was already a member - I see that is not the case, so the rules are stringent?
Mandatory upvotes an resteems?
was that discussed or a arbitrary decision?
I do not comprehend the reason for mandatory actions for membership but I am a ghost honorary member who often (but not religiously) check the tag trend "steemsilvergold" #steemsilvergold
with upvotes to posts that I value as informative and occasionally will resteem.
I am a lil' sad, but no worries - I guess you have a plan and are following it.
I simply wish to remind you that silver-stackers like me (who focus on other topics) are out here and maybe you will make an intentional effort not to ignore and forget us.
Silver is my insurance policy
Sincerely, @ronmamita
@ronamita, I do recall having contact with you and even upvoting your posts. can you point me to the spot where you joined steemsilvergold, so that I can investigate why you are not on the list?
How much SP is considered a dolphin?
this thing is subjective. you've got to read up on it to get a feel for it. do a search.
Done upvote & resteem
so, are you joining?
I'm loving the community here, we will all grow together and I'm sure one day a few of us hanging around will have some nice steem power to throw around.
I don't know how it's best to get some of the big excisting whales here but @hilarski is a precious metal investor in his profile and I get nice little upvotes on most of my comments I leave him about silver.
Actually, I just realised that I forgot to put him in the post. I agree the ones who persist will be rewarded.
Awesome post and great work on trying to bring some whales/dolphins on board. I totally agree that we have some amazing content creators in the community and the only slight downside has been the size of rewards. Luckily we are all used to being the underdogs (stacking silver) and am pretty sure we will all just keep creating good content. Thanks again for all of your work getting this community together and trying to advance us forward.
Sorry on the lack of silver post lately, steemlords has been sucking up all of my creativity. Speaking of which @phelimint has done extremely well in finding a whale vote with his steemlords story, and I think we have been getting the community a little extra coverage through Sir Knights quest.
I like that: "we are all used to being the underdogs (stacking silver)". It is for this reason that I am confident we will pull through as a community. The steemlords and @phelimint is certainly also giving us coverage, besides, Sir Knight is also a member of steemsilvergold.
Thanks guys! Glory for #Steemsilvergold, we shall claim Excalibur...lol. But for real it's been fun. I have no idea how I got found by @curie, but it gave me a huge vote. It makes me thinks it's probably good to try to promote each other to some of the big curation accounts. We can help each other become whales. I'm hoping I can at least toss a few cents around after getting my payout from this whale vote.
Keep on doing what you're doing @phelimint, it is the work you are doing that is getting you noticed.
I agree that we will pull through. We are still pretty new when you think about it, imagine where we will be with a year to gain traction, members and quality posts. I am sure the rewards will follow soon. Keep up the awesome work man, and we will try to keep up the quality content!
for sure. let's do this.
Thanks for all your work growing this community, is it okay for members to use your logo at the bottom of your post I think it's pretty cool.
@bearone made the logo available. see here: https://steemit.com/steemlords/@bearone/welcome-to-steem-lords-steemsilvergold. The logo is great. You can let her know at her post.
Thank you I will go check it out and let her know.
I love this initiative !
thanks, like I said, I like your initiative too. it is funny that I was thinking of doing something similar (to your goldmoney was here initiative) a couple of weeks ago. I guess great stackers think a like.
#goldmindsthinkalike :)
Hi, check the latest steemsilvergold update: https://steemit.com/steemsilvergold/@hgmsilvergold/higher-gold-and-silver-prices-means-more-new-stackers-to-steemsilvergold-or-members-report-and-steem-lords
Upvoted:)
thanks, much appreciated as usual.
Goldmatters is in the house, it's great to see you over here in steamsilvergold !
Thank you! I AM in the house!
I've see a few stackers posting coins but not in #steemsilvergold. I have been promoting #steemsilvergold.
Alas, they are not joining or ignoring the invitation.
It may be because there are many 'communities' here on steemit that are just 'circle-voting' via a bot. I don't want to join those and maybe non-members are assuming we are a bot-based circle-vote community.
We should have a Whale among us . . .
OR maybe we just need to educate our minnow community on steemit upvote value and encourage supporting each other.
.
I think we are moving at a fine pace. Yes, we need a whale or 2, but if we keep going and support each other, all good will come in time. Thanks.
Yes, continued support of each other will build a great community.
Though just a minnow, I would love to become a member.
of course you can. just follow all the current members, and you will be confirmed in the next member update post.
I believe I have everyone.
great. welcome, watch out for the next member update post.
Hey, thanks! Will do.
I'm giving her all she's got Jim! But the dylithium crystals only have so much power...

A little confused... you mentioned upvote resteem then follow the other people. I have done the first 2. Once following the others I should be good right?
yes for sure. it is essential that members follow each other. once you are announced in the next update as a member, then the other members will follow you, provided you have followed them of course.
Ok Thanks. I'll be sure to post a stack soon.
thanks, I look forward to it.
Stack posted. Come check it out https://steemit.com/steemsilvergold/@jbbasics/for-all-the-stacking-peeps
Looking into how to run that script to add all the members. Might do it all manually. Thanks
I would like to join. Please count me in! I've been upvoting & supporting the community for weeks. I had no idea there was an official membership list. Please add me! Thanks!
