Previous first place winner - Gridcoin Millionth Block Commemorative Coin by @me-shell

Author @me-shell is active in the budding Gridcoin community and in this post puts her creative engineering skills to good use by designing a commemorative physical Gridcoin that can be produced from a 3D printer. We think it's a fantastic piece of work, with a realistic look & very fine detail engraved on the sides, especially the back face. Steemit is a great platform for doing peer reviews of this kind of design, and it's quite interesting to read through the discussions on the merits of different building materials in the comments. Great job @me-shell, Steem on!

Now on to today's nominations...

The "Nominate-a-Friend" Steemvoter (SV) Guild program.

So how does it work? Simple ... reply with a comment to this post with the link to another Steemian's post you think deserves the daily Steemvoter guild upvote, you are welcome to motivate in the reply why you think they deserve it.

The reply with the highest upvote $ value will be the winner and the post nominated in that reply will receive the guild upvote, which as you may have seen from previous posts, is a generous upvote from over 500 guild members, giving $100 dollars or more to the author depending on starting value.

Please make sure your nomination follows these guidelines:

Two Winner Trial Test

We are currently voting the top two winning nominations at an equal vote weight each.

Basic Guidelines

• You cannot submit your own post or that of your other related accounts that you own or share ownership in, if you are found or reported to do this and substantially verified, your and your related accounts will be blacklisted from future guild vote eligibility.

• If a nominee or nominator is found to have downvoted another nominee, their own nomination will be disqualified. No dirty tactics please, let's keep the competition clean & fair.

• No religious, NSFW, racist, trolling, fake news or inappropriate posts will be considered, in which case runner's up will be selected. @steemvoter has the final word as to which post is selected for the daily vote.

• We will not vote the same author in a seven-day window.

• Cut-off time: We will choose the highest value comment nomination within 48 hours of this post becoming active. Please only submit posts that are still within their 7 day voting window, and allow enough time for the guild vote to be done before their payout window closes.

• This is not about curation rewards for the guild members and getting in early on the vote etc, it is purely to reward the deserving author.

• @steemvoter will consider this a free market experiment and we will facilitate the voting of the post that the community wants voted, without checking for PLG of content, photos and artwork. At our discretion, blatantly inappropriate posts will not be voted on however.

• This is a beta guild project and terms are subject to change at any time.

Let's make Steem great ... together!!

Paying for Premium Services with Bitcoin and other Alt Coins

Our premium services allow you up to 500 voting rules regardless of your Steem Power holdings, and exempts you from our daily self-vote payment posts, however you can still choose to add the @steemvoter account to your rules and decide your own timing to vote our posts. To pay for premium services send 3 SBD to the @steemvoter account for a one month subscription or multiples of 3 SBD for a bulk payment.

We have been asked recently if we accept Bitcoin as payment, the blocktrades.us service allows you to convert Bitcoin and several altcoins, including Ether, Bitshares, Dash, Litecoin, Dogecoin and more into Steem or Steem Dollars and have it sent to the Steem account of your choosing.

As per the screenshot below, you can select the Bitcoin and SBD pair, populate the SBD field with 3 SBD (or multiples of 3), the receive address with steemvoter and your Steem account name in the memo field. As easy as that!
