Hey all! I am so stoked that so many of the amazing Steemians who I consider friends are on this list or involved in some way!! You all deserve every accolade, every positive thing! Congratulations!
I'm going to throw my vote in for @spl and @nicnas, as so many others have already done. @SPL (Steem Poker League) was my gateway into Steemit; the first place I found on Steemit where I felt welcome, the first place I made friends and started to understand the concept of a Steemit Community.
You may not be aware, however @spl is funded by the Steemit Community who vote on the blogs content. Payouts are generated by an algorithm called 'Proof of Brain' that encourages people to create and curate quality content... all while interacting and creating relationships - creating community - on Steemit.
@SPL has rather stringent rules on who may or may not play on www.lucksacks.com. Those rules include:
I truly feel like most of the Community in the @SPL love the interaction and the camaraderie we find there. I know that having more funding will help @spl continue to host the free tournaments that are currently available, as well as be able to grow and support the community that surrounds it.
As for @nicnas, he was the first friend I made on Steemit, and it was at the poker table. He is now one of my best friends; my partner and my confidant.
Since @nicnas joined Steemit, he has been involved in countless communities, from his early work with the Minnow Support Project, to the Buddhist Community, from @spl to @buildawhale as Chief Curator and finally as Co Founder of @ccasino, he helps everyone he comes into contact with with an open heart, kindness and humor.
I sincerely hope you will take a good look at my suggestions. I'm available to chat on Discord or on Steemit.chat as @bethalea.
Thank you all for this great idea to help counteract the spammy, vote-selling nonsense that has gotten way out of hand on Steemit. I'm excited for the positive change!
xo,
b.
I agree wholeheartedly with @bethalea! The Steem Poker League is a great community with wonderful people. I've been playing poker my whole life and this community really stands out for it's comradery and dedication to the Steem blockchain.
Poker is a timeless game and one of the biggest with 100 million players worldwide, more people than play golf, billiards and tennis. It is a perfect match with the Steem blockchain and the potential is huge. It adds a lot of value for the Steemit community as well as great potential for attracting vast amounts of people.
Hey @reko! Thanks for the support, as always! You are one of the greatest Steemians I have met to date and I am so glad others recognize your great worth to this community!
And you're so right about poker, it's such a timeless, community based game, it's perfect for Steemit and Steem!
catch you soon, we're chatting if you are around!
xo! b.
I believe @bethalea is a good candidate. She could fit into any of the categories mentioned above and it very selfless. Second the SPL support.
thanks nic. i'll pay you that 100 sbd later ;)
@spl folks have certainly helped me learn how to be a better steemian. @bethalea your awesome also.
Best community possible
aw, thanks @potplucker! I agree about this community... I didn't even know how to be a Steemian before I got here, it was all so confusing and seemed kinda chaotic.
xo!
Supporting @spl is a no brainer! One of the many REAL communities out there. I don't even know where to Start, The only thing I could say that could match my feelings is that @spl is practically A second Home and have given people (including myself) a lot. We have a bunch of good lads and so many good steemians that if you ask me, I'd say they should be all on that list. @bethalea is a pure soul full of love and compassion, @nicnas is a big Enthusiast who never stops helping; They deserve to be there!
You're one of the greatest parts of our community, @jonsnow1983, I'm so happy we are such good friends!
xoxo ;)
@SPL is the first community I stumbled upon when I joined Steem, and I can tell you that what @Tuck-Fheman and @bigpchef have done in the last couple of months it is amazing. The amount of work, money and time they invested into this thing is just tremendous. They deserve all the delegations possible.
I agree. @Tuck-Fheman is a beast keeping http://www.lucksacks.com going. I have only scratched the surface of all the other activities he does. I hadn't really got to know @bigpchef or @internetguy (except for kicking my butt on the tables) because they do so much of the work behind the curtain. Just happy to be playing there and look forward to player pool growing and games being attended by +100 players. If/ when those guys read this they will probably think "OMG, we are going to need some staff members".
Agreed. What makes @SPL amazing is not the free money but its community because you can win money from poker like anywhere in the world but to meet such a lovely community, it's harder.
As Tuck's initial idea was, playing poker with friends.
You are so right, @guyfawkes4-20, the work those two have done and continue to do is amazing. It would be great if the League had some delegation to help people like you who show such commitment to the community!
xoxo!
b
Huh, my commitment was lacking lately due to Real Life but I remember the good days when I used to be online for even ten hours straight. Those were good times.
I wish I could stay online for the whole day and chat and play poker with you guys. Goddamn real life.
I second this!
i second your second! ;)
Add another vote for @bethalea and @spl they certainly welcomed me to the community
that's what it's all about though, right @davedickeyyall?? I'm so glad to know you and I would never have had the chance if it weren't for @spl! You're a great part of the community, The Anti-Social Hermit Club!
xo!
b.
The Anti-social Hermit club... I'm not just a member I'm also a client 😁
Call on the @SPL community and we will come out to show the love!!!! $12.27 comment so far!
dude! it's up to 18 bucks now!!
Woot @spl Community!!
My favorite part about Steem is @spl. IMHO, by far the best application of community and the Steem network.
High praise from the dawg! I agree completely though... I am happy to be a part of a few great communities but none have the feel of @spl!!
xo! b
The SPL supports this message. :-)
Approved
such approve, JP
;)
Go to sleep!
Don't tell me what to do!!
Lol xo
Hi @stellabelle. Thanks for this awesome project you and others are working on to develop steemit and the steem blockchain at large. I would love to make a suggestion of @airhawk-project to your team. @airhawk-project is a telegram based community catering to about 1,300 steemians (last count and growing). The admins support this community with leased SP to vote their community members' posts (according to their quality) just to encourage them to get a footing on steemit. The community for example had undrgone a 30k+ SP and currently on a 50k leased SP (thanks to @rageamuffin and @thecryptodrive 's @minnowbooster for the community discount) at no cost to community members. I don't need to say a proof of how these SP is being used can be gotten from the steemd.com profile of the account.
@airhawk-project in contribution to the blockchain also created an escrow service for easy conversion of SBDs/steem to cash just in the bid to have a tangible participation on steemitdotcom (anyone who knows he can easily convert his earnings to cash would easily embrace the platform). This escrow service comes at no cost.
@airhawk-project also has a blog that contributes varying contents, contests and all to the platform, especially working with a system that engages and compensates members of the community who make contents for the blog.
This is not to talk more of the series of education that comes up on the community's telegram group here, their exchange could be assessed here
I think I won't be wrong to humbly call on @ned, @fulltimegeek and yourself to please take a cursory look at this project and what they have done in their almost two months on this platform.
A good day to you @stellabelle. This is indeed a grand initiative, one deserving of great applause. So many minnows are lost and getting scammed because they have been neglected by those in position to help.
This is what @airhawk-project has sought to correct from inception. To give a voice to the voiceless and be the face of over 1,300 steemians. We've gone out severally to aid our ever expanding community of steemians, giving tips and encouraging them to fully explore their potentials. I and many other steemians would be long gone but for @airhawk-project which in itself is a minnow.
You can be rest assured that if @airhawk-project is given this delegation they will put it to judicious use and you will be aiding thousands of red fishes.
kudos once again to you and the team @ned, @fulltimegeek, @lexiconical, @beanz, @inquiringtimes and @kubbyelizabeth.
I remember when I wanted to join steemit, I was a little bit lost, I remember seeing someone who told me he was on steemit, he invited me to the @airhawk-project group chat, there I saw a community that actually helped steemit members directly by helping with advises, lectures and even an escrow service to help team members buy and sell steem and SBD easily, be it in Fiat money or any coin both seller and buyer agree on, this is a very cool initiative and I can say this is really having a positive impact on steemit. I have had countless chats with @dorthmaen one of cool team member, and I can say he's a cool guy, gave me my first advice on what to and how to post on steemit, and that's what the @airhawk-project is all about, cool guys helping other cool guys, my transition here is smooth thanks to them, I am happy to be on steemit through @airhawk-project. Thank you.
Thank you for this post and the list @stellabelle.
Over the past weeks, @airhawk-project has shown to be a prolific writer as well as being ethical and empatic in curation.
She was able to achieve the above feat by
leasing SP from @minnowbooster.
These are the kind of people or accounts that should get some recognition on this platform.
Kindly check her out @stellabelle.
Sincerely, airhawk-project takes care of every detail that helps members have a firm footing on steemit. It is a wonderful community. They get you exposed to quality contents, contests and your steem trading is 100% safe in the community. It is really a place to be.
@stellabelle, a big well done to you
Base on the issue , I would suggest @airhawk-project too. with the help of @airhawk-project , many minnows just like I am are being encouraged and given support to so as to keep our spirits up. Despite the fact that @airhawk-project is also a minnow, yet she's doing great and supporting over 1,300 steemians . @airhawk-project built a community on telegram for Steemit transactions with no charges. Would be glad if you can look into @airhawk-project too.
Airhawk-project has helped me on countless ways i didnt expect
From learning about cryptocurrency
To learning on how to be a better steemian
And getting rewards from contest held by them
Ey @stellabelle. Great to see that there is people actually concerning about the growth of the platform. We are trying our best promoting the spanish language in the Steem. The community is growing. The potential still enormous. I would like to nominate one or several curators which are working with us 24/7 since months discovering gems in the spanish language and helping the tag #spanish stay high in the list: @dresden, @tincho, @nelyp, @wartrapa, @angielb, @anneblueberry, @rafarosado and @handmade.
Thanks for this iniciative! By the way, did you see our presentation at steemfest?
Yours sincerely @pgarcgo and @gargon.
Hey there @stellabelle , A big hello and thank you for this awesome post! I would like to nominate @btcvenom ! He has an amazing project called @paywithsteem where steemians can go and buy anything that you could on Amazon, with STEEM! as a tester for it, I can say it is an amazingly cool and simple process. There are some awesome items as you can imagine! Thank you! STEEM ON!
Yes I second your nomination for @btcvenom and I think I should message @stellabelle and tell her about my interactions with btcvenom and why I think he deserves this and how he would use the delegation for useful things..... Hes a young talented developer who will develop all sorts of new features for @paywithsteem and allow us more economic freedom. With enough money he could buy a payment processor all our own for steem, with enough money he could strike deals with all sorts of stores around the world to just accept steem and he would buy it all back at a set rate incase it goes down later, I mean with the right funds he could do all sorts of amazing upgrades for @paywithsteem
Also he is doing a lot with his new @paywithsteem Discord server https://discord.gg/ux6Dm2G
And We will see a lot more success from him, he's shown dedication to Steem blockchain and yes I agree, i have seen a lot of cool stuff of his over on steemspeak.com run by @fyrstikken and over on that channel he has shown me all sort of cool stuff just today like how he has the Golos and Steem and BTC prices on his Keyboard, and also yes that Amazon wishlist he has setup on pay with steem is great one day we will have a direct button on steemit or our own front end where you can just login with active key and browse Ebay or AMazon catalog and buy whatever you want with your SBD or steem.... it will be a great day....
and with @btcvenom getting this steempower we will see MANY great things happen, see he is a human being that actually takes value and adds more and does a lot of work, i believe he is already a workaholic and stays up for long hours burning midnight oil.... we need more like this....
Great initiative @stellabelle, @lexiconical, @beanz, @inquiringtimes, @kubbyelizabeth! :)
Might I suggest adding a section for individuals promoting the Steem blockchain!
@dan once said that the most important focus in the beginning is to promote the Steem blockchain which still stands true to this day! :)
If you could work on creating a list, then I will create a second menu....this menu was pretty big...yeah, that's the idea, to add more sections.
@stellabelle, love this way of thinking, it aligns perfectly with ours at promo-steem. we had a great chat with the people who have been working on promo steem on how to provide a mechanism that will help us support steemit promoters on the platform using the steemit ecosystem. we will release the video we did tomorrow. i will keep you informed when it comes out incase you are interested. a quick summary of our plan is as follows:
We have exciting developments with promo steem and are pressing forward well with what we have discussed previously with @andrarchy, this will cumulative in a centralized steemit promo / ambassador page where we will feature promoters, run promo competitions, provide examples of how we promo and the story of promo steem. We are also working on a webpage dedicated to steemians who are promoting steem, this will include Steem Ambassador Programme (working on specific privilages for steem ambassadors in the medium term), structured community upvoting guild for promo works, on-bording page, map of the steemit promo world, chat area with public block chain logged promo chats and private chat options, newsletter, promo Applications area, Promo Merch shop / supported use of logo designs, among others. we are planning to get a skeleton site out in the coming weeks and populate with content into early next year. Promo team did a ten minute video last night, plan to release tomorrow / day after following edit. exciting times ahead. any collaboration on this initiative is MUCH appreciated!
hope is that steemit ambassadors will receive delegated steem from the community. this will provide the platform with many more, human, trusted eyes with a proven record on the platform.
last but not least, please see my talk at steemfest which describes how we are using steem in an ethical way, without bots to support these promoters HERE
i saw your talk. it was impressive.
Thank you! I am hoping to contribute to the discussion of ethical use of steem power and supporting initiatives that create added value to the blockchain, be them profit making initiatives that provide a buying pressure to the price of steem or social added value that increase the social value of the blockchain. My way of showing that I practise what I preach at the moment is the work I am invovled with in promo-steem. I have seen with steemit that providing / setting an example can inspire many to duplicate value added behaviors.... so i have high hopes going forwards!!
i have seen the same thing happen when i delegated SP to cultivators freely.
Putting a place marker here so I can pull up your talk in the morning for a good watch. I definitely hope to become a Steem ambassador in the community sooner rather than later. As soon as they can find a cost free method for instant account creation, I hope to have onboarding classes at local universities once a month or so!
It's being worked on already as well as coordinating our efforts so stay tuned! :)
All, we are rolling out a Steemit Ambassador Programme in the very near future. we have been working with a list already, we have approximately 30-40 candidates already with proven records in promoting steem and have started to map them. please see links below. I hope this helps and that we are able to coordinate this effort together.

Massive shout out to @stephenkendal for putting most of this togther.
i hold promoting steemit dear in my heart. I am of the fact that the more users on steemit, the more value it has. Since we call steemit a home then we should try to bring value to it. I am trying in my own little way. i have been attending series of programmes organised in my country and doing my part on preaching the gospel to non steemians
Hi @starkerz, I have a member on my discord community who wants to organise a steem promo event in the Philippines and I recommended they speak to you. Maybe if you join the discord you can give them some advice on it? https://discord.me/votu
@beanz, thanks very much for the info. no problem to refer to me on steemit.chat. I wont visit discord yet, as things are getting very busy and I wont do a great job at handling additional traffic from discord for now.
Nice to hear from you @starkerz I'm working together with @oscarcc89 who was at Steemfest @osmerj and a group of Steemians behind the scenes and pretty soon you all see the big community project we have in mind. I've read your ideas and I'm pretty sure that together we can change the world!
I smell something rather big coming as well! looking forward to hearing more! regards to @oscarcc89
thank you. A part 2 is going to be necessary, or better yet, perhaps you have already done something like this?
Would love to be considered for the ambassador program, still interested in having you on the interview show @starkerz!
ok! great, can you contact me on steemit chat and propose a time & date?
@starkerz man!!!
Great! Do you need help on this Reko? We might find new promoters along the way.
Yes, congrats @futurethinker, we're heading for next level! ;)
Do you have Dan's quote about promoting Steem? I don't ever remember having seen Dan saying something about this subject but I don't everything Dan as ever said. I'd be interested to see the quote or post if you can remember.
Hey @teamsteem, I haven't seen it myself as I'm quite new here but I'll look into it. Just came up on the @votu podcast yesterday!
Thank you for this answer. :)
Let me inform others that @beanz have been downvoting on my posts for a while. The first one was in which I called minnowbooster operators liars for being liars with evidence.
Wow thank you for including me in the list @stellabelle. I have yet to announce my project to help newcomers to steemit as we are coordinating our project with the promo-steem movement led by @starkerz, @stephenkendal and @anarcotech.
This is their recent talk with @andrarchy
Any delegator who wants to know more about what I am doing please contact me at discord or steemit.chat (@futurethinker ) and I will show our discord group.
I pledge here that I will use any delegation small or big to help Steemians, which in turn will help Steemit grow.
Thank you for bringing the message we need Stella.
I do not doubt that the future of Steemit will be bright!
I'm really looking forward to speaking with you @futurethinker. Your work is inspiring to me. We are all on the same quest I think, to help Steem and Steemit grow!
Me too man! I am waiting for the new video to see what you have discussed!
I was kind of blown away in our long conversation before we made the video. I was a little bit in my own head at the time, creating worlds. I can see, hear and feel so many incredible possibilities, and things that can be done.... I see the Steem Blockchain as a major part of the future of recorded history, monetisation and digital asset rights management. More so than perhaps any other. I think the challenge for me is to realise best where I sit in this, and what are the projects that I should focus my attention on...there are so many possibilities, and I need to be very clear about working on the ones which utilise me and my skills the best. You have come to my attention a lot recently, and I really do feel that there is tons of crossover and stuff which we (and I'm talking about me, and also my colleagues in #promo-steem, notably @stephenkendal and @starkerz) can do together. I'll come and find you later for a chat. Thanks for your time dude.
Oh wow I am honered by your kind words. Yes, there is so much possible. As I am working on this project I see what an impact Steemit or blockchain could have on the world. What has amazed me is wealth distribution that it could bring. For some people a few dolars is enough to get them through the day. It amazes me how incredibly easy it is to reach those people with steem, and it just takes a few clicks. Doing promotional work does not only benefit the steem community but it also benefits humanity.
I am looking forward to hear your views on the changes blockchain can bring.
Till then!
Lmao! Excellent menu, would love to see an updated version of this!!
Hopefully when I become a big whale i will be able to choose a delegatee from the ehtical section haha.
:-) as a person in receipt of delegation, I would like to say how important this is and how much impact this has
The BI team and myself will be supporting this initiative fully and we are happy to produce any data required to keep this on track and carry out necessary due diligence.
I have resteemed this post and shared it with communities on discord
Your data analysis is amazing @paulag. Thank you for your efforts so far :D
Well Stella I have to say that being on your list has given me a smile so big I almost bit off my left ear.... almost.
As you might know already (I have reasons to think you do) I pretty much agree %110.23 with everything you have pointed out (yes i know there are decimals, I may have mental issues)
Steem is a place for investors of course, and we don't ever want to make it a place that is hostile to "money" but at the same time, the valuation of Steem comes from its people, from it's Steemians... that's not an outrageous statement to make, and it's awesome a loud voice is saying so.
In any case, i hope your thoughts ninja their way into a good whale's heart and this idea takes off. I would like, if I may, suggest you include @Shadowpubs in your list of Community builders, what she does with her Steemit Ramble group is priceless for us little minnows.
Thank you for setting an example...
@meno
thank you for the shout out @meno .. much appreciated. You'd be welcome to come by the Pimp Your Post Thursday anytime @stellabelle .. we have some great sessions
i fourth that
I 2nd that.
I third that
Well, I'll take the fifth then ;)
