I am writing this post 9hours to the end of my recent contest (I will be very busy today). I don't know how it would end but currently, no one is winning, which is good because I get to pick 5 random winners instead of five.

The contest surpassed my expectations. The last time I checked, over 90 comments (the most I have gotten on a post) with over 20 participants. According to hive standards that's a lot.

So I want to thank everyone that participated. I honestly wasn't expecting the response I got. It is usually a big fear of mine hosting any contest, but this turned out differently, so thank you once more.

Before I announce the winner(s) (which I am yet to know) I would like to inform everyone about another initiative I have in mind.

I am currently working my way to 2k pob power, which is another milestone for me. I want to delegate 500 pob the most actively engaged on my post for August to celebrate this feat.

I probably would be doing this every month for the rest of the year. It would be a nice way to give back to those who read my content and give useful feedback.

The initiative is not entirely altruistic. The catch here is to have more people engaging with content. The more engagement I get the easier it becomes to launch my podcast sometime in the year.

Without further ado, here is the winner (or winners) of my contest:

This comment was able to go unnoticed, even I almost missed it. Congrats!

100 POB sent!

That will be all for now. Enjoy the rest of your day...cheers!
