Here are the poems published to Blockchain Poets for the week of Dec 31–Jan 7. Let’s have a look at the poems then we will get down to the contest winner.
This Week’s Poems
Before we begin, we had a new poet this week. Please welcome @olugashalom. Hope you enjoyed your stay and keep submitting poems every week!
The poems for this past week are:
There we go. If you have time, check them out and see what you think. And if you like any, let the author know about it by leaving a great comment!
Be a Blockchain Poets Member
One of the best ways to help Blockchain Poets grow is to delegate to us. If you delegate at least 10 HIVE, you will be given a Member role and a 100% upvote on all your posts. (In the future as we grow we may require more than 10 HIVE for membership).
Besides the upvote, another perk is that all members receive double the Ecency POINTS for comments and double the HSBI for winning the random drawing.
This delegation helps all of us by increasing the community vote on your posts and also increasing our curation, which will allow me to fund even more rewards for everyone. It’s win-win!
Please delegate to this account (@hive-161465).
Comments
In Blockchain Poets we support interaction, support, and comments. You will not be eligible for the HSBI or the PIMP drawing below unless you comment on at least two other poems for every poem you post (for example: if you post two poems, you should comment on four other poems). Also, the two people with the most comments each week will win 50 Ecency POINTS each. If one of the winners happens to me a member of the group (How to Become a Member) then that winning amount will be increased to 100 POINTS. Wow!
This week the top commenters are @joseitosanchezs and @chelsie-b.
Winner of HSBI and PIMP
Every week we reward our active poets with two random drawings, one for HSBI and one for PIMP. Members get double the HSBI if they win.
Only people who gave two comments for every poem they posted are eligible for this contest. The only exception is that new poets are giving a pass their first week here. Also, to be entered in the Pimp contest, you must use the #pimp tag on your post.
Excluding myself, that puts 16 people in the running for 10 shares of HSBI and 11 in the running for some PIMP this week.
I threw you guys into a random picker…
and the winner is…
For PIMP:
@chelsie-b - 25 PIMP
@silher - 25 PIMP
@dwixer - 25 PIMP
@davidbright - 25 PIMP
@olugashalom - 25 PIMP
For SBI:
@trucklife-family - 3 HSBI
@joseitosanchezs - 2 HSBI
@litguru - 2 HSBI
@chelsie-b - 2 HSBI
@nancybriti1 - 1 HSBI
Congratulations!
(if you aren’t sure what HSBI is, it’s kind of lifetime payment system run by the amazing @josephsavage. You can read about it here)
And thank you all for your wonderful poems!
Next Week ~ Next Prize
Next week will be the same reward — shares of HSBI and PIMP
The exact amount of HSBI depends on how many poets submit poems for the week and currently the amount of PIMP will be 25 each (but this may decrease in the future as the price of PIMP increases).
0–9 poets - 1 HSBI
10–19 poets - 5 HSBI (split 2–2–1)
20–49 poets - 10 HSBI (split 3–2–2–2–1)
(Note, these numbers don’t include @moeknows or myself.)
So if you want a chance for HSBI, go write a poem! If you want a chance for a lot of HSBI, go recruit others (and write a poem)! Spread the word, upvote and share this post to make it more visible, contact poet buddies on Discord and try to talk them into joining our group.
Just remember the rules:
- Comment on two other poems for every one that you post
- Make it a good comment (not just “great poem!”)
- If you offer criticism, keep it gentle and polite and remember the golden rule of criticism: say at least two positive things for every one thing you criticize.
Anyone who doesn’t follow these rules will not be eligible for the reward.
I’m looking forward to reading everyone’s new poem in this next week.
(Note: I’d like to start offering more prizes in the future. Please get in contact with me if you’d like to donate any Hive tokens or other rewards. Look for me as dbooster on Discord.)
