BuildTeam would like to announce that we are now taking bids for the October pot ...
The October 2017 BuildToken General Fund is :
4000 STEEM!!!
Bidding commenced at 00:00 UTC October 3rd, 2017 and will close at 23:59 UTC on October 5th, 2017.
To participate in the bidding process, you will need to get your hands on some BUILDTEAM tokens. If you haven't got some yet check out this handy video tutorial from 
How is the pot distributed?
The pot is distributed proportionately among the bidders according to how many tokens each participant has bid. There is no minimum or maximum bid. Assuming two participants, if you bid 1 token and the other participant bids 9, you will get 10% of the pot.
What's the best bidding strategy?
The more tokens each person bids, the less STEEM there is to pay out per token. The bidding "game" is designed to be co-operative, rather than competitive. If you start trying to "win" by outbidding other participants, you won't just be damaging the group, you will be damaging your own interests too!
Bidding Process
Step One
If you already have a Bitshares wallet and BUILDTEAM tokens, you can skip straight to Step 4, otherwise you should create a Bitshares wallet here: https://bitshares.openledger.info/?r=buildteam
Also, consider downloading the Bitshares desktop wallet for a more secure way to transact. The wallet can be downloaded here: https://bitshares.org/download/
Step Two
Fund your Bitshares DEX account with some Bitshares tokens. You can buy Bitshares at Bittrex, or use STEEM or SBD to buy Bitshares at blocktrades.us
Step Three
Click on the following link to go directly to the BuildTeam exchange on Bitshares DEX:
https://openledger.io/market/BUILDTEAM_BTS
Use the 'Buy' panel to purchase the desired quantity of BuildTeam tokens.
Step Four
After the bidding process has begun, make your bid by clicking on the 'Send' tab in the top right corner of the exchange window.
It will take you to the screen below:
Send the quantity of BuildTeam Tokens you would like to bid and place your Steemit account name in the 'MEMO' field. Remember to keep some BTS tokens in your account and select them for the transfer fee option as this is a much cheaper way to transact.
Additional bids can be made following these same instructions up until the deadline period.
