As part of our initiative to bring Steem to the mainstream, we created Hive account@earthnationbot; a minnow only support bot that gives a 5X upvote.

Our goal is to give the minnows of Steem a 1$ upvote for 0.2 SBD once a week; to make initial posts on Steem more rewarding. We believe this will rapidly increase user retention for Steem. Hive account@steembasicincome and Hive account@qurator have started similar initiatives that benefit new users with a notable amount of guaranteed SP/SBD for each post.

For any whales reading this, we recommend considering further empowering these projects with delegation. Higher user adoption will benefit those with large amounts of Steem most of all.
