One reason why we are driving powering up is the key insight I've got from several analysis I've done on country specific tags. I have so far analyzed tags from these countries:
I have seen that the more Steem Power holder a community has, the bigger the propensity for that community to advance in terms of reputation and Steem Power holding. That is common sense yes, but the data-points made it glaring, and convinced me that if we are to really drive growth for our community in @steemph we need to make urgent call to power up.
I recently got rewarded by @sndbox for being one of the cohorts who powered up the most for last week. I will use the 10 Steem Dollar I got to reward the top most powered up attendee of SteemPH Meet Up Caravan #1 - Bulacan. There would also be a reward of 5 and 3 Steem Dollars for the Top 2 and Top 3 respectively.
Mechanics
This is being done as a follow-through for the SteemPH Meet Up Caravan. The attendees are automatically included into the Power Up Challenge
The challenge will be opened from the day of the Meet Up Caravan in a specific location until the day of the next Meet Up Caravan. In this first one, it was opened from February 17, 2018 for Bulacan attendees and will run until March 10,2018 which is the day of the Cavite Meet Up
The announcement of winners will be done within 48 hours from the closing date of the challenge
This does NOT mean that participants need to choose "100% Power UP" as their post pay-out. We highly discourage doing that while Steem Dollar is priced at more than $1. They can convert their Steem Dollars to Steem and then power-up. Whether they bought their Steem Dollars or Steem or they got them from post pay-outs, it will be counted for as long as they are converted to Steem Power.
The rewards are:
Top 1: 10 Steem Dollars
Top 2: 5 Steem Dollars
Top 3: 3 Steem Dollars
These prizes will be funded from the @sndbox reward I got for one of the most powered-up cohort last week (10 Steem Dollars), and from the @steemph.manila communal account (8 Steem Dollars).
Other SteemPH Communities Doing Power Up Challenge
Please check those posts out too if you are from those localities. The SteemPH Meet Up Caravan Power Up Challenge is a @steemph initiative to drive accumulation of Steem Power within the @steemph communities where there is currently no sub-community.
