Searching for 5 Plankton Steemians to be turned into Minnows!

avatar
(Edited)
Hey everyone! For those who aren't very up to date with the witness related stuff going on around Steem, it's been a few months since @ocd-witness became a top 20 - thanks for all of you out there who show us your support by approving us as one of the main witnesses.

Since then, we decided to use some of the Steem Power we have to "turn plankton users into minnows" by delegating them enough Steem Power so they can reach 500 SP and they can use their vote slider.

This is called "Operation Slider Delegation" and you can read more about it here.

A summarized explanation of OSD is as follows:

  • We pick a few Steemians a week based on their engagement with other users, post quality and overall involvement with Steem.
  • We delegate to these users enough SP so they can have a slider - 500 Steem Power.
  • We support these Steemian's posts with votes from @ocd-witness, @acidyo and @anomadsoul and an occasional @ocd nomination for superb posts.
  • As the users grow on SP, we start to lower our delegation so the user always has 500 SP until one day, the Steemian has their very own 500 SP.

This is one of the ways we are trying to encourage engagement and support valuable authors while at the same time, contributing to create a Steem middle class - this term was invented by someone else, perhaps it was @abh12345 or @tarzkp, maybe it was someone else, but we like that term in @ocd.

So far we are delegating enough SP to reach their slider to 26 Steemians and we already helped 4 to reach Minnow status!!

#### Since this is an initiative focused on the community, we would like to have some input from you. Perhaps we are missing out on some amazing engagers, or incredible content creators and we would like you to inform us about those Steemians :)

If you know about someone who fulfills the next criteria please let us know in the comment section:

1 - Has less than 500 Steem Power.
2 - Is not powering down - and hasn't powered down before.
3 - Is not an alt account of another Steemian.
4 - Has been part of Steem for at least one month.
5 - Posts quality posts more than 2 times a week and engages in other people's content.

We will consider all of the Steemians mentioned in the comment section up until 72 hours after this post was published. Those Steemians who are eligible will get a Steem Power delegation, perhaps it will be this monday or maybe next monday, depending on the Steem Power @ocd-witness has available.

If you like this initiative, you might want to vote for @ocd-witness as witness here or if you want, you can set me up as witness proxy here.

Hello I think it's an excellent initiative and also very necessary for the maintenance of assets. I have grown thanks to the effort and dedication to do this, published daily and sometimes included weekend. I need a little boost but i'm sure I can move soon, I nominate as myself if possible. Thanks and successes in the project.

What a lovely initiative. I can relate with this because that was exactly what @shenanigator personally did for me. I would never forget that. I am sure there are lot of people deserving of this. Well done.

I wouldn't mind having a look at @bookoons and @adejoke16.

Thank you.

709 Red Fish found based on your criteria above (without checking alts and time on Steem) put through the Engagement League Criteria, these are the top 20 odd.

A quick check through @angelro's content makes me feel he could be deserved of a boost?

Good stuff!

Great contest @anomadsoul & @ocd-witness!
Was planning on a similar one. But since you have way more capacities then I have on all ends I'd like to introduce to one of my favourite Steemian newbies..
@jalentakesphotos should get more attention & support from the community from my POV. I try my best, but it's still not enough. And he's just one good example of many. No disrespect. Let's work on that!
Let's make Steem a vital place for upcoming content creators! 😊🤩

Is not powering down - and hasn't powered down before.

I've powered down before, but I still have a thousand reasons you should include me in this initiative. I had to power down to meet an urgent need and I stopped immediately it was met. I'm not justifying my act though, just a way to let you know I appreciate steem and its platforms and I'm here to stay.

One click on my blog will confirm my claim to posting quality contents. I'll like to nominate myself, @afolwalex as one of the planktons to receive a delegation.

Some time it's hard not to power down and there are understandable situations that justify powering down, I've done it before and I know what it feels like.

Will consider this, but we are giving priority to people who haven't powered before, thanks for you input.

Hello @anomadsoul what a good initiative! I think it's great that you want to support small accounts that have the potential to add value to the Steem blockchain.

I want to propose the account @votomasivo for this support, this account corresponds to a project that for quite some time has been supporting quality content using a curation trail organized by mostly Spanish-speaking users.

It is a project in which two users work permanently: @fulani and @camiloferrua, and in which we are always looking to unite more people to strengthen the trail and make visible the best content published in the blockchain giving our critical appreciation and helping users to improve their content in form and substance.

In addition to the curational work we also want to resume activities with the community that we stopped doing for lack of resources and undertake other new proposals.

This account meets all the criteria required in this publication and we have no intention of doing power down, but on the contrary, to grow to support users and help in everything we can.

Besides this we appreciate all support you can give to our project, either joining our trail or our fan base, in both cases we will be very grateful.

Also I would like to propose separately:

  1. @fulani, she is a great artist and publishes her work which is of very high quality.

  2. @salopastel, a great pastry chef who shares his creations and recipes with the community but receives very little support.

  3. @jeilinespinel, an amazing art related content creator.

  4. @semilla, an ecologist who is starting in steemit and seeks support to carry out reforestation work and care of natural spaces in Venezuela.

  5. @lphnfotografia, a very good photographer.

Thanks again for this great initiative!

At the moment we are focusing in individual accounts, not projects but when we move on to projects we will remember this comment.

As for the individual accounts thanks for the input, we will check them out. It's worth mentioning that we are only focusing our efforts on english content. In the future we might expand to other languages but currently, it's only for EN content.

Thanks for this meaningful comment! :D

I just voted for @ocd-witness and plan to delegate some SP to your initiative. I had done a similar thing for a user whose content I really liked. This definitely helps accelerate the process for those with limited exposure and small accounts.

Thank you @simplymike much appreciated. Without the support of the bigger guys around here it will indeed take us forever to grow. @nomadsoul great initiative. I hope one day I'll grow as such that I can do the same for the little fishies in the pond. ☺️

It is really great opportunity to small steemians with low resource credits. After having your support might they can outstandingly perform on steemit plate with having chance of passive income.But at the end of this comment I whole heartedly want to thank my best friends @simplymike and @blacklux who really show their genuine support to me.

Hey man, how's Sweden doing??!!
How about helping out with curation? Hit me up on discord if you are interested in curating.
That name rings a bell, I think we've curated her before with OCD, I'll check out her blog and hopefully she meets the requirements. Thanks for the input.
