We determined Minnow Booster day is an amazing idea and greatly helped distribute votes down the Shadow Ranks. We also realized a way to slightly tweak it for the future weeks to really make it live up to it's name.

The new proposal

All Casters over the FVL will still be skipped by those who are fractionally voting, in addition, those with over 20 Shadow Rank would also be skipped to ensure the real minnows in the pool can get a boost.

Remember when you are over 20 Shadow Rank you are getting votes all week (except from Casters over the FVL on Minnow Day), you don't NEED minnow booster day like a new minnow would that just joined who simply at this point can't get more than a single vote a month right now!

Remember the more SP you have directly increases your priority in the pool. @grandpawhale (who does not make posts for some reason) has over 100,000 SP and just a 2 Shadow Rank and is the top priority. If they were to decide to make a post despite being one of the lowest Shadow Ranks they would be the top priority in our pool.

You directly earn well above 20 Shadow Rank, Minnow Booster Day is about us who are earning well and over the FVL to give back to all the minnows who make up the pool. Nearly 75,000 SP of our pool is made up by about 850 minnows under the FVL right now! Giving back boosts to those who deserve it is how this system is designed to work.

This system is meant to be FAIR for all, not just service the top! Minnow Booster Day is our way to fulfill the mission we set out to accomplish, reward good steemians! We believe that this slight change will greatly effect those at the very bottom that contribute all week!

Please let us know your input as we need each and everyone of you to continue to make this system better for all of us!

Minnow Booster Day Continues Expansion!
