Well I did buy some STEEM in the beginning to accelerate things a bit :) but it was the HF that did the true acceleration, LOL - and I'm sure your upvotes on HF day helped to increase it a few cents, too!
Progress... :) -- OH, and that is only 60% of my Steempower - it hasn't gone up all the way to 100% yet since the upvoting part on HF day :)

Yes, it's like tipping in Dash :)
