What is Vote Interest Pool(VIP)?


VIP in a new project and an initiative to reward voters for... well... voting. You are already given this from the 25% deducted from post rewards and given to the curators as part of the Steemit platform standard. With VIP, you will be rewarded on top of this.

Similar to @steemsports, but the main goal of VIP is to progress the Steemit platform and have more steem/sbd/steempower distributed to everyone. The more everyone one can get, the better.

In order for VIP to be successful, it will need the community's help. As far as I seen here on Steemit, it shouldn't be much of a problem. Almost every user is rethinking how they use a social platform and trying to help Steemit grow. I am confident we can accomplish this and everyone can feel the VIP treatment.

VIP Feature


Every new post will feature a "VIP Feature" post created by fellow Steemians. To better the Steemit community in quality, this feature was created to support verified users on Steemit and get the community interacting more together.

In order to be featured on a VIP Feature, jump on Steemspeak radio and say hello and meet others in the Steemit community. Who know's, you may run into @charlieshrem or @ned in there :)

Once verified and we know you have a voice and are not a robot, You will be randomly queued to have your most recent post for the day to be featured for the VIP Feature. once you made it on the random queue list, one of your most recent posts will be featured once every 3 months to allow others to be featured.

The @voteinterestpool account will automatically vote the post featured for VIP Feature on the authors account.

VIP Bonus


At the bottom of the post, there will be 2 topics to choose from. Choose one and leave a comment giving reasons why that is your choice. The comment with the most votes will earn a reward of 5% from the pool.



How It Works:

  • vote on the post.
  • After 24hrs the post and comments will be entered into the vote interest pool.
  • 25% is deducted from the voting reward as standard by Steemit curation rewards payout to curators.
  • Checkout the "VIP Feature" post from a verified quality Steemit member of the community.
  • Have a chance to win a "VIP Bonus" by choosing one of the topics and the bottom of the post and leave a comment explaining why you chose that comment. The most votes earns 5% reward from the pool.



Vote interest Pool:

  • From the 24hr payout period, the remaining 75% will be 50% Steempower for authored post, 50% STEEM and Steem Backed Dollars(SBD). Similar to @steemsports, we will convert the SBD amount to STEEM on the internal market to achieve the total Vote Interest Pool.
  • 10% will go to the VIP Featured post author. The benefits of "VIP Feature"
  • 5% will go to the VIP Bonus reward payout.
  • From here ALL of the 35% will be distributed to EVERYONE that voted using the power up method to have everyone receive payment in SteemPower.
  • Posts will be made almost everyday as I have other projects I am working on and need some days off :P
  • @voteinterestpool will be excluded from the VIP pool reward but still vote since the account will receive 25% in SteemPower for authored post curation reward :)



Example:


If the VIP post hits a reward value of $500 after 24 hrs, automatically roughly $125 will be deducted for the 25% curation voting rewards.

The 75% remainder:

50% in SteemPower value of $187.5 will go to the @voteinterestpool account for the author post curation reward.

10% goes to the author on "VIP Feature" at roughly $18.75 value in Steempower

The remaining 40% rewards will be roughly $168.75 and distributed to 300 voters if the post reached $500 by 300 votes.

Everyone will receive roughly $0.5625 value in SteemPower.

So let's shoot for $1000+ so everyone who votes will get over $1 worth of SteemPower!


@voteinterestpool account voting:


Other than "VIP Feature" author's post @voteinterestpool account will follow voting trail of @instructor2121 and @fyrstikken because they are reputable members that are doing contributions to the Steemit platforms and are good judgement on quality posts and users on Steemit, if the event the @voteinterestpool account becomes large enough to have large voting power. This will ensure voting will be distributed outside of just VIP.


Disclaimer:


  • @voteinterestpool may be subject to changes in the future to maintain operation
  • If the VIP dividends are are less than 0.0001, it will carry over to the next VIP payout.


Special thanks


@instructor2121 for contributing to this project

Can't forget the Steemspeak crew. Their support motivated me to keep going so I wouldn't have made it this far without them. @fyrstikken, @proctologic, @contentjunkie, @inertia, @krnel, @sykochica, @patelincho, @tee-em, @noganoo, @pharesim, @mughat, @applecrisp, @raymonjohnstone @creationlayer, @shneakysquirrel, @pickokernel, @ausbitbank, @poeticsnake, @kiddarko, and anyone else I forgot to mention.

Note: There are probably many of you have wondered who created this project and maintaining it but it's not hard to figure out. I want VIP to be a community success and didn't feel like I needed the mention as the special thanks mentions those that have contributed insight on what they felt was needed for Steemit. I'm just another Steemit user learning something new.
Thank you,
@bitcoinparadise

Because it's exciting! The people are cool! I'm meeting and making new friends!

I use Facebook too but don't post there much. I just react to what my IRL friends are doing. It's dull and let's face it, butt-ugly.

I think this is a really good feedback for the Steemit platform. You hear that @ned!

One of my recent memes seems fitting here.

Thank you for the opportunity @voteinterestpool to participate and for the mention of @bleujay above and transfer.

What tab does one choose to see the transfer? Apologies for the trouble.
Was it transfered to a bluejay instead of bleujay? If you recall last time bleujay was having trouble finding the transfer. Thank you for your assistance.

@bleujay, @bluejay I sent you something that should cover the missed payment. My apologies again and will have a script up and running hopefully soon so this type of mistake doesn't happen.

No worries.
Thank you for your reply @voteinterestpool.
You are too kind. Transfer received.....thank you. Apologies for the trouble. Bleujay did not realize that there is a b.l.u.e.j.a.y. What to do?
Keep up what you are doing...it is an interaction that your Steem readers look forward to. All the best. Cheers.

No trouble at all.

I apologize for that. I did not see my typo. I will correct this today. Thank you for saying something. This is why feedback is important from the community.

STEEMIT! Used to be facebook till steemit came along and now it is almost solely steemit. There is so much to read and do. it's interactive in a way beyond Facebook. Just plain darn love it

I use Steemit far more than any other platform, for a multitude of reasons.
I first registered on Steemit because I found a link, while researching blockchain and cryptocurrencies.Initially the monetary reward was quite interesting ,as a motivation.
Then I started to become more and more engaaged in the platform. I have found really a lot of good content here, and I can interact with the writers, which is a nice feature. I also enjoy the gamification elements of Steemit.There are also things that I don't like, particularly the inequality, but it's far better than on facebook for instance. On facebook there is anywayjust loads of reposted shit. I don't use snapchat or instagram, it seems completely dull to me.

Steemit now because I earn with posting!

Steemit hands down occupies 95% of my "social media" time. Then snapchat is a distant second. I don't even know what the second icon is! lol

Steemit and only Steemit. Amazingly, I have the same profile photo on Facebook as I do on Steemit. So that tells you how much interest I have in Facebook. I don't even know what the other two symbols are for.

Snapchat. It is simple to use and easy to connect with friends via video and text.

That's true, and you don't have to upkeep with a large library of old posts.
