I also treasure this man and all he has done for us, unfortunately I do not have the financial power to be of real help. I am certain there must be others like me, so I tried to think of a way that I can do something positive, rather than just excuse myself.

I thought if I delegate about 10% of my SP, would that help? (about 100SP), but for that idea to be of help, he would need about 2000 of us to maake a delegation of about 100 STeem by each of us...and even then, his earnings in US$ would only be a part of what he needs to survive.

Does anybody else have a better idea? For instance: A pity we cannot use a bid bot, isn't it?

An example:, if I could make a 10 Steem bid every day and...in 7 days get back my 10Steem directly into my wallet, with the earnings going to Steemchiller, it means I would have to dedicate 80 to 90 Steem for earning him at least 7 to 10 Steem a week. A thousand of us do that and it becomes interesting eh? Not really? Oh yes, he (and the bid bot) would get attacked by the crap flaggers....

But don't worry, steemit itself is being assassinated and soon...oh no, I forgot, the newsteem description guarantees that soon our steem will be worth $10 each....that is according to how the witnesses 'feel', so who am I to argue?
