Hey @digitalmind,

Thanks for the comment. So for item 2, here's a quick guide:

1. Join the PAL community on this Discord server
2. Go to the #register channel and register yourself by typing this: $register steemitname
3. An instruction will be generated, generally you need to send 0.001STD to the bot account to get yourself verified
4. After you're verified, go to the #upvote channel and type $upvote yoursteemitpostURL
5. Then just wait and your post will be upvoted by the bot
6. @minnowsupport, @banjo & @bidseption are just a few bots, I'm sure there are others as well. I assume all of them follow similar process, so click onto their account and find out from their own guide.

Happy steeming!
