Since HF19 kicked in last week we have experienced multiple problems with Streemian. It is used to power one of the upvote bots at the #minnowsupportproject and we noticed it draining our voting power too quickly while new members were having problems signing up to it. Last night at PALnet @aggroed announced that he was thinking of an alternative: members could opt to delegate some of their Steem power towards minnowsupport and stop using Streemian altogether. Steemvoter is still a must however.
Because I am building my voting power back up ready for my delegated curator duties for acidyo soon, I jumped at the chance to switch off my account on Streemian and initially tested the waters by delegating 50 SP. My delegation game was poor however and @zeartul was beating my contribution by delegating 100 SP. This could not stand! I promptly matched his delegation. See below for a video from him on how to delegate SP.

This is another way I feel I am contributing to the best project on Steemit. Many others have also delegated some of their SP and @snubbermike has made a wonderful contribution of 1000 SP to help power the upvote bot. I tip my hat to you Sir!
I know almost every other post I make on Steemit involves the minnow support project but I feel it is having a real effect in helping new Steemians grow.
@xpency joined the group recently and we got chatting at PALnet, where I discovered the great work he is doing to promote Steemit in his home country of Nigeria. His project could have real impact on his fellow Nigerians, helping to improve their lives through the power of Steemit. He graciously asked if I would share his latest post in which he presented Steemit to 200 attendees of his second presentation. Of course I agreed. Yesterday I got the following messages from him:

I took a look and was shocked to see it had already reached over $2000 with 300 odd votes and many replies expressing support.

xpency - Yesterday at 11:26
Yes

GMuxx - Yesterday at 11:27
I am so pleased for you, truly
xpency - Yesterday at 11:28
and I am so happy for your support
I looked at the trending page and he was in the no.3 spot.
GMuxx - Yesterday at 11:28
You are quite high up on the trending page too
It is my pleasure
I am thinking of making a post to show how this community can have real impact in helping people like yourself. Is it ok for me to include you in it?
xpency - Yesterday at 11:30
yes include me
as long as we can inspire people
Now, I am not so conceited as to believe my resteeming his post alone earned him this success, but in the background we have kept in touch on Discord and I have tried my best to help and steer @xpency in the spirit of the minnow support project.
Just today I received the following messages from another member @tech-trends. We started off on the wrong foot. He sent me a link to one of his posts asking me to upvote it. I pointed out this wasn't the point of the project and described how MSP works. He has since come on in leaps and bounds.

GMuxx - Today at 17:57

I am currently writing a post about success stories from this project. Do you mind me quoting those last 2 messages from you?

Well by going with my feelings I would say It is hard to find New Talents on Steemit some new contents or idea come up but get buried very quickly and I've noticed that very few people are able to see my content and thus when few people see it it gets hard for the that Steemian to Feel Appreciated and Satisfied with his work by your project you not just merely resteem a post by a New Talented Steemian but also give him a wide exposure so that many people can see his idea and content and appreciate it , thus this helps the New Steemian to stay motivated and then he creates more Beautiful Content to make this Community the best among all the others.
This is what our community is all about. We help, support and guide new Steemians through the treacherous waters of their early Steemit journey. It has been a great success and grows daily, we currently have 1290 members! If you think this could be of use to you please come and join us in chat at PALnet
