I have hit 50 SP! heck yea now time to win and ride this whale hard! I have been using randowhale to upvote posts i like since My SP is still nothing but left over crumbs yes not crumbs but left over crumbs! I will use this power wisely I have been up day and night trying to hit that dang 50 SP requirement and finally today I nailed it If i win I will make you proud and your hard working staff even prouder!
Winner! You have been drawn from a hat full of #takemyvotes Qualified Contenders. Are you free tomorrow evening ? Do you accept the prize? Will you be able to vote till you drop? Let me know by reply (here) or email (htooms@protonmail.com)
If so Congratulations!
!!! Yes of course I accept the prize! wow this is amazing! Great fathers day pre-gift :) As stated above on my comment! I will ride this whale hard and true! I appreciate this contest and all the participants! Really cannot believe I won, never won anything this magnificent ever! come to think of it never won anything worth mentioning!
From now on no more votes for me till tomorrow. Can you let me know exactly what time? I am Pacific time.
I am getting ready to post my announcement now. I use a program that trails your votes at 60% of my power (to protect the reward pool and avoid flags).
I will start it up between 12:00pm and 2:00pm pacific. When you vote on something, refresh the page and you will see that my account added more money after your vote. That's how it works.
If you monitor my voting power and keep it above 75% you can keep my power all afternoon and evening. (it shuts off when it gets down to 75%)
60% :) I was hoping for 100% :) still awesome though look out steemit users!
At 100%, you would have been finished by now. I prefer to have winners voting for hours and hours. Even at 60% you may be the first to finish in an hour. Hehe.
Your win - Have fun!
Wow Yea I can see that!!! So if I vote let it rest and come back I can still vote correct, to have a better understanding it is 12:50 pm my time can you give me a cut off time so I can better manage it:) I want to hit as many people there is. to surprise them.
that's cool mate!
Thanks for responding. I received this acceptance from you at about 2:00 am (my time). So this is your approximate end of voting tomorrow (24 hours away.) or 2:00 am my time.
So that means you can start voting about 2:00 -3:00pm my time, 22 to 24 hours from the time of your acceptance here. Any tighter coordination can be done by email if you wish.
This will give me time to announce your #takemyvotes ride hours before it happens, and will give you a chance to link to that post so people know why you are so powerful for a day. Get some publicity and new followers for yourself. But mostly - have fun and be social
I will be chaining my account to yours at about 2pm (my time) or 23 hours from now. It ends when my voting power weakens to 70%. Please dont' vote on my blogs. That would likely remove my own vote.
I am happy to answer any questions you have in the morning. Congratulations! This will be a good day for you.
Every one make sure to keep an eye on your posts tomorrow! :)
Odin you are, who led the Thor into the MinnowWorld with the Voting Mjolnir to ease up their sufferings. -Dedicated to THE GUY :: @htooms
Hehe. Get some rest and start up again in the morning! I am down to 85% - hoping it will come back up while you sleep. (75% is the cut off)
Yes i know.... I dont get the slider.... My bad..
Contest entries started pouring in....put in yours....visit my blog @danishmmir for details
congratulations @danishmmir , well deserved and do great!
I drown in the loneliness of a silent rain.
I know the feeling of a minnow's pain.
With @htooms power, I know my vote won't go in vain
Being able to use your voting power for the night would greatly help in my main quest at the moment, to buy a professional camera from my earnings on steem. I have a love for photography, as you can see from my blog, I post a lot of photography, many people have had very nice words to say about my photography and this has made me want to pursue a career in professional photography.
See this post here explains my love for photography.
At the moment I use my camera phone for taking pictures it's ok but doesn't give me the exquisite detail I want to capture and show to all you fine people.
So having your voting power for the night would not only boost my own posts value but also in doing so maybe get me more recognised among the community and help my photography reach further afield.
In my year on the platform, I've given back quite a lot to the community (for example, see the post that I've just created giving away 75 SBD and creating fun at the same time!
With this power, I would be able to continue spread joy amongst the community and reward those are deserving, but are often overlooked.
........or Mine!! HAHAHAHAHAH (that was a sinister laugh btw..ehmm)
I would use your voting power to cancel out the glut of plagiarized posts currently being paid out
CONGRATS @@@danishmmir and may you use the force wisely!!!
I hope one day the wheel can get past to me :) I will show you what a compassionate mommy can do with delegated power! Have fun and ttyl
Ciao @htooms great post :)
Just because I do not have all the qualifications does not mean I will not post an entry veiled as a kudos for sharing.
If not me, I would go with @alexrickard86 for that BMW photo is liquid silver.
https://steemit.com/bwphotocontest/@alexrickard86/b-and-w-photo-contest-entry-2
Thanks for the mention π
With all that power...
Sounds pretty cool! Upvoted and RESTEEMED :] Now give me it! C'mon give me it! : ))))
Fantastic idea
Congratulations @danishmmir!
Oh this is a cool idea. If I wasn't such a tiny minnow I'd want to enter to help give my Christian brothers and sisters a boost in appreciation for their work for the Lord. All the best to whoever does win, though!
I like men who give back to the system that lifted them. I admire your sense of brotherliness. Upvoted and resteemed
Delegating power to folks for a night to use as they see fit. I like it! As Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear fame would say, "More power!"
Upvoted and Resteemed
Hey @htooms just found your profile, I love the idea,
I wrote a poem for you,
Oh to be a whale for a day,
what more can I say,
with these powers,
for twenty-four whole hours,
I would make each and every minnows day
much love<3
~Brado
This is a fun contest!
being able to use your voting power is so awesome. I want to use my Steemit money for buy a gaming PC so I can experience real gaming. Like running games in high settings. My laptop is from 2009, I have never had the money to buy a new one. I will put my Steemit money towards other things as well.
Big big whale
Wow this was long, I am new here joined yesterday and just learning how all this works... ended up spending hours (wife doesn't understand) Oh well this is how life is... Looks like you have done well and grown well. Making a good earning, care to share some times with me too?
May the force be with you ππ½
I would love to take that power and run with it.
Just give me the chance!!!
I would like to be the next winner :-)
Would be very nice for my young account :)
generous.
? :D
Gosh, I'd love have a crack at winning this, but I still only have a measly 6 SP.... about 200 posts and 145 followers.... Does my temporary SP count?
π
Oh yeah I'm here for a go at this badboy!
Would enjoy boosting some of the lesser known members who have clearly spent a ruck of time formatting and posting something worth reading.
nice post @htooms, upvote,follow and resteem
I like your post @htooms
Wow this is an awesome little project! great idea, I hope every winner will put it to good use! Congrats @danishmmir !
ok ...
good post @htooms i'm always upvote and resteem your post, pleas visiting me This once
I just posted for his contest! https://steemit.com/takemyvotes/@surprisebit/how-i-found-steemit-surprisebit
Uh thats a shame. Hope you can bend the rules next time to be more newbie friendly. I'm pretty active on Steemit, posting regulary, doing contests, promoting the platform, introducing users etc. But I still have only 25 SP :D
Anyway nice idea!
@htooms, I don't qualify but I love what you're doing. Steem On and Take it easy.
New to Steemit, that would be a nice jumpstart!
I just wait for your vote, whenever you wish
Thanks @htooms for the contest, upvoted and resteemed.
You are so cool and helpful !
Enrichment for the Steemit Community? I think my newest blog would be an enrichment for the community! I know you have to read a little more then a comment, but I think it's worth it! It only takes five minutes and with your help, we might change things with this new hashtag! Maybe you do the same post I did and some others already followed! So please have a look you :) #introduceyourhometown
following already :) upvoted and resteemed!
I have a niche account and it's more difficult to rise it than others. I spent hours for each article (average 4-6 hours). So, I would be very happy to win your vote.
This makes 3 of the first 10 things in my feed right now aimed at helping new users. That is awesome!
I appreciate your comments! As soon as @danishmmir lets go of the wheel, I will steer on into your blog and slam a couple votes down.
Thanks! That is very cool of you. I don't have anywhere near your power but I am powering up everything I get so my vote can help people as much as possible. I really enjoy voting and being able to see it "move the dial" a bit. There is so much cool stuff out there and there are more creative people getting here everyday. It is a very exciting time. Thanks for all you do to help the new people (and the old ones lol)!
Remember me in your kingdom
Remember me in your kingdom
I'm new here and don't really get this but I'm having a whale of a time working it all out. It makes my head steem from time to time but you just got to power through it.
My current goal is to get my steem power up as fast as I can so that my upvote is worth more to the posts that I use it on. I don't have a lot of steem power yet, not including the stuff you get when you sign up, but I'm working on it. I currently have my awards set to 100% power up. I still need to transfer my steem dollars to steem so that I can use them to power up also.
