RE: The Curation and Engagement Leagues 🏆 - STEEM prizes & steem-bounty available! 🎁
howdy again @davemccoy it's so good to hear from you..I am not in any way trying to be patronizing but I've heard over and over again how you were helping people and while I've been wondering if I should keep at this crazy "game", for lack of a better word, hearing that we have great leaders like yourself on this platform has made me lean toward staying for awhile and see what happens!
wow that was a long sentence for a redneck like me! sorry about that, I hope it makes sense. I'm no glen! lol.
Thanks so much for the offer to answer questions that I might have because I've had tons of those, surprised Glen hasn't disappeared on me because I've asked so many.
But then again he does like writing.
thank you sir I'm sure I'll be in touch!
@janton to answer your first question, yes I definitely think you should keep at it... I'm still here, so as long as I am then you can be sure that I think it is worth it. I know sometimes it doesn't seem like you are getting anywhere, but that is not the case. The key here isn't your current earnings or even how many view your posts, it is making friends and connections.
Why friends and connections is important is that is how you will eventually grow. Today you might not have any powerful friends, but now that we connected if I get big, then you will be someone that I remember. And now you can multiply that by many many more. The good thing about @abh12345's league is that it is a handy spot to see who are the "natural engagers/leaders" of the future. These are the people that do it week in and week out, not for the money but because they just like to engage. One other thing to remember is this platform is constantly changing and evolving, so the rules today might change by next year. The key is that we (humans) get to know each other and have fun. Obviously keep balance in your life, but stay in touch too.
I have been called a redneck myself by my northeastern college buddies as my parents were both from the mountains of WV and I grew up in Florida. So I like the term redneck ;) ... As far as asking me questions, ask away... And I also know that @glenalbrethsen doesn't mind answering anything either. I can already tell that you will also be the same one day to others, so welcome to the club ;)
Good to talk to you and definitely stay in touch! And I look forward to growing with you and I hope to continue to see you in the ranks of the engagers in Asher's league! :)
howdy @davemmccoy..a fellow redneck! yes sir if your parents grew up in the mountains of WV then you are definitely a Redneck! and that's great to know.lol. Thank you sir for your kind words and encouragement.
I think I'll try to stay with this platform a little longer.
I do have a question about voting for witnesses because I can't seem to figure out the system. Do we have 30 votes each week and can start over each week? When I go to the witness page to vote, some votes placed takes the number of votes that I have left down, I have a decreasing number of votes left.
But then sometimes when I vote, that number increases so apparently we can only vote for the same people a set number of times correct?
and if so, what is that number?
Thank you for all your help and all you do, you are in BOTH of Asher's leagues! I don't even know what the curation league is and by now I should know but I'm not precisely sure what curation even means! lol.
thank you sir!
Hey @janton, good to see you again and great job again in Asher's league... Very impressive to be at the top for the 3rd week in a row, awesome!
To answer your question on the witnesses, it is a perpetual vote. In other words once you vote for someone, your vote stays with them unless you cancel. So you get 30 total votes at any one time. Once you have voted fo the 30th guy, then in order to add a new person you will have to take away someone else.
Think of these guys are your leaders. You get 30 of them and you keep them unless you no longer want them at the helm.
Does that make sense?
And thanks for the compliment about both leagues, but honestly I think that has to do more with the price of steem coming down than anything I am doing.. I have never really worried about curation because I think the key here in the long run is to make friends and build networks of people. That is only done through engagement. And ps... you are doing a great job of that right now for sure :)
howdy again @davemccoy ...and thank you for getting back to me so quickly. So on this witness voting thing, can we only vote for each person once? Are you running for witness?
My wife says she's happy that I'm having fun and making friends but how do you make money? lol
thank you sir!
