RE: @wox-helpfund: do you think that Steemians need it?
It think the account definitely adds value to Steemit, and can be a great help to a few people who have nowhere else to turn in a time of desperate need.
@wox-helpfund has value not only in the sense of tangibly helping people, but also in the sense of setting a good example of "giving back to the community."
I think it's also important for the account to keep growing its Steem Power, perhaps to the point where there might not be help directly available, but someone struggling can get a nice upvote as a "gift," instead.
Yes, I agree, if the account would be growing with regular Upvotes, that is what anybody can contribute without much giving away and if account would have high value of Steem Power then it would be easy to help too. Currently regular posts from Helpfund accounts generate regular Steem Power but that is still very little considering the amount that is needed if it decides to donate.
Like any project it needs more visibility, support of users around on Steemit and also some encouraging words that is a driving force for anything in this life, because again we are human, often inspiration, encouragement alone can motivate. There was a lot of negative publicity about WOX recently so we need positive vibes too.
