Hello Steemian Friends,
It's finally Friday! And it is also, the final Steem Basic Income giveaway from us! Yes, we've been committed to this giveaway since the conception of rewarding and giving back STEEM to the community! 10 weeks have flown by! It all started as we had some liquid STEEM piling up from the challenge we proposed ourselves at the beginning of this year, but we had to cancel that challenge as we will talk about that below.
This is it, the last 2 Steem left, but who will the Contest Winner Picker select? But, before we get into that we would love to do this again in the near future (once we can get some SBDs converted to Steem at a decent rate). As some of you might know we're giving away SBIs to people that follow us and people that we follow. This is our way of saying 'Thank You' to the Steemit community. It all started about three months' ago, when we were curious about SBIs and we gave away our first share to @waybeyondpadthai as she was producing incredible content and on a consistent basis, but we never made a post about it. We gave away 3 shares eight weeks ago to three Steemians that have inspired us and their respected communities on Steemit: @world-travel-pro, @intrepidsurfer and @for91days. We want to give back more to the community!
Giving Back To A Community That Has Provide For Us
Steemit has been a real roller-coaster of a ride, but luckily for us there has been more highs than lows. When we heard that there was a chance to earn cryptocurrency from posting our posts on Steemit, we quickly signed up. Yes, it was one of the reasons that attractive us to the platform, but it wouldn't be possible without the support and community engagement from YOU! We had a challenge that we set a few months' ago about reaching 1,000 followers before a certain date (20th of June) and although we've past the deadline and haven't reached the target, our attitude changed roughly when we gave away our first SBI! We realized that it's not about the numbers. Actually, we became very suspicious of who was following us. About three months' ago after posting a post, we instantly received 40 followers! At first, we thought 'Wow!', but we suspected something. Through further investigation into some of the accounts, we found out that they were either created on the 13th of March (exactly) or later. Are these made-up accounts? And why? Who knows?! And due to this finding, we have decided to STOP that challenge as we do not feel like the number of followers reflect the ACTUAL number of our legitimate followers we have. However, we want to stay true to our word of giving back. We had accumulated STEEM that we had not Power Up as we were going to give it away if we reached our target of 1,000 followers before that deadline. Yet, our plans changed, so what to do with this STEEM now?
Steem Basic Income Giveaway
We decided to giveaway 2 SBI shares each week to ONE RANDOMLY PICKED FOLLOWER and ONE RANDOMLY PICKED FOLLOWING. How was this be done? Using a Contest Winner Picker website, we entered in all our followers and selected at random and we did the same for the people we are following. However, it is not that straight forward. In order for the sponsorship to be successful, the Steemian needs to be quite active on Steemit (posting like 5-7 times a week!). So, if we feel that a person that is not active is selected, we re-did the draw until we found someone. It was only fair as this is all explained in @steembasicincome's report here. Also, click that link, if you do not know what Steem Basic Income is all about.
After Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, Week 5, Week 6, Week 7, Week 8 and Week 9, we have 2 STEEM left saved up and so this is it; the last 2 shares!
Week 10 Winners
Without further ado, the list of the Followers are:
And the list of the people we are Following are:
Congrats to @anomadsoul and @amy-goodrich! Unfortunately, it took fifteen refreshes in order to get the winner of the 'Followers' category! It seems like most of our followers are either bots/community accounts OR haven't posted in months!
@anomadsoul is a Steemian that we follow too! He is a great example of what a Steemian should be as he is committed and gives back to the community. He is a proud member of @sndbox as well as @ocd. We know he will continue to shine and post great content, so we're glad to give him a SBI share. @amy-goodrich lives just across the border in Cambodia. We started following her early on as she often, if not all the time, posts about delicious vegan food. Now, we're not vegans, but we are trying to adapt our diet to include more vegan meals throughout the week. It's so far 1-2 meals per week and another 2-3 meals that are vegetarian...so getting there! Her colourful bowls of goodness always keeps us wanting more! The transfer of 2 STEEM will be going to @steembasicincome to sponsor both of them.
Here is proof of the transfer to @steembasicincome:
