Hello my Fellow Steemian Runners!!!

As you can imagine, during the last 10 days, we have implemented a new tool, which is feeding our SP, thanks to the delegation that some of our members have provided to the tool itself, @isotonic .

This account is actually a Bid-Based Voting Bot programmed and installed on a Laptop, running some days there and, after contacting and presenting the project to @yabapmatt who decided to help the initiative altruistically , it is now strongly supported by the Steem Bot Tracker computer and server.

As you may noticed, when I report about the evolution of either, @runningproject or @isotonic I am always using the word WE, thus in plural, as I see @runningproject more as a sort of community on which any member can actively work than the result of an individual effort.

Actually, some of you have already expressed your will to help and collaborate with @runningproject and, frankly, I would really appreciate some support here.

So now that we have solved the "Funding" point I think is the proper time to do a ...

...CALL FOR A "RUNNER WITNESS"

Yes! We are looking for an "Approved" Runner, willing to collaborate with @runningproject in an active way according to the following points:

• The selected ''Runner Witness'' is going to be a Posting ''Deputy'' of @runningproject , so he/she will login at @runningproject with the Private Posting Key

• The "duties" of the selected ''Runner Witness'' are:
  

  1. To Manually Resteem those ''Running Posts'' created by the ''Approved" Runners appearing while browsing @runningproject 's FEED

  
  

  2. To weekly choose 4 outstanding ''Running Authors'' and respective Running posts of the term (Only posts published within the 7days)

  
  

  3. To weekly write and publish 2 posts working on behalf of @runningproject as the following ones:
  Vote your Running Author of the Week [The Steem Running Project] => to be published at the beginning of the term (7days duration)
  RUNNER OF THE WEEK [The Steem Running Project] to be published at the end of the term (7 days duration)

• The ''Runner Witness'' will use the Posting Credentials of @runningproject only for posting, comment and resteem and not for voting.

• The "template" used on both posts will be transferred by @runningproject as a basis to create the new posts.

• IMPORTANT: The "Runner Witness'' will be rewarded for his/her work with the 50% of the SBD earned by those posts so, as you know, on the first post, the obtained SBD are fully going to award the selected Running Authors and winner, so, the remaining 50% will go directly to the ''Runner Witness'' Account. On the 2nd post, 50% of the earned SBD will feed mainly @runningproject SP and the other 50% will go to the "Runner Witness'' account.

• ''Approved'' Runners interested on becoming ''Runner Witness'' have to write a comment at this post, explaining his/her willingness to be so.

So, hope it is sufficiently clear. If it is not let us know at comments.

@howmanymiles
@jumowa
@raelynnbianca

What are you waiting for getting enrolled in the @runningproject initiative?

It is easy! Once ''qualified'' you just need to transfer 1 SBD or 1 STEEM to the @runningproject as an ''enrollment fee'' and you will get upvotes from the pool every time you write a worthy post. If the post is about #running and using that tag, it will be resteemed and considered for the ''RUNNER OF THE WEEK'' contest.

The complete ''Enrollment fee'' , tips and donations, Delegated Steem Power and earnings obtained in this Report Post are going directly to increase the STEEM POWER of the @runningproject ''curation'' pool from which all the ''Approved'' Runners will be benefit!!!!

To all of you, we would like to give THANKS for your support but more in particular to @cryptokeepr
