Here are the poems published to Blockchain Poets for the week of Oct 16–Oct 22. Let’s have a look at the poems then we will get down to the contest winner.
There we go. If you have time, check them out and see what you think. And if you like any, let the author know about it by leaving a great comment!
Discord, Tags, Delegations, and Membership Upvotes
Please remember to use both the #pimp tag and the #india (or #indiaunited) tag on your posts. Using both will increase your chances of being curated by these two places. Also, using the #PIMP tag (and doing the required comments) will make you eligible to win some pimp in these end of the week reviews. Thank you to Hive account@enginewitty for kindly donating the PIMP to the group.
Please join our discord → Here. It’s kind of quiet there right now, but we hope to grow it. So please join, share your posts in the share room, and meet your fellow poets.
All active poets in our community will get a 70–80% upvote from the community account. When the voting mana drops too low (under 90%) then preference will be given to poets who follow the community rules and comment on at least two other poems for every poem they post. Members will get a 100% upvote.
Please remember to delegate to us (this account, Hive account@hive-161465) if you are able. The more delegations we can get, the better the upvote we can give and the faster we can grow this community. If you delegate at least 10 HIVE, you will be given a Member role in the community.
Finally, please join us on Threads. Think of Threads as Twitter on Hive. Read my intro post about it here. You can post short poems there, parts of larger poems, or just a link to your current post. Posts on Threads do not count as regular Hive posts, so don’t worry about screwing up autovoters or SBI votes. If you post there, use the #bcpoets tag to receive a vote from our Hive account@bcpoets.threads account. It’s a great place to attract further attention to your poetry. Our community account has been delegated some LEO to help with curating you guys. Thanks to Hive account@anomadsoul for that!
Contest
One more thing before we get to this week’s winners of HSBI, PIMP, and Ecency POINTS. LeoFinance is now sponsoring us in their Author of the Week program. In this program the group mods will select four posts every week, you all will vote on your favorite of them, and the winner will be set as the beneficiary to a lot of Leo whale upvotes. These upvotes can help you grow your account quickly. It’s a great program to encourage more interaction in the communities and better quality posts.
See are latest contest right here and be sure to cast your vote!
Comments
In Blockchain Poets we support interaction, support, and comments. You will not be eligible for the HSBI or the PIMP drawing below unless you comment on at least two other poems for every poem you post (for example: if you post two poems, you should comment on four other poems). Also, the two people with the most comments each week will win 50 Ecency POINTS each. If one of the winners happens to me a member of the group (How to Become a Member) then that winning amount will be increased to 100 POINTS. Wow!
This week the top commenters are rinconpoetico7 and mell79. Both are members, so 100 POINTS to each of you.
Winner of HSBI and PIMP
Remember, only people who gave two comments for every poem they posted are eligible for this contest. The only exception is that new poets are giving a pass their first week here. Also, to be entered in the Pimp contest, you must use the #pimp tag on your post.
Excluding myself, that puts 14 people in the running for 10 shares of HSBI and 12 in the running for some PIMP this week.
(if you aren’t sure what HSBI is, it’s kind of lifetime payment system run by the amazing Hive account@josephsavage. You can read about it here)
And thank you all for your wonderful poems!
Next Week ~ Next Prize
Next week will be the same reward — shares of HSBI and PIMP
The exact amount of HSBI depends on how many poets submit poems for the week and currently the amount of PIMP will be 25 each (but this may decrease in the future as the price of PIMP increases).
So if you want a chance for HSBI, go write a poem! If you want a chance for a lot of HSBI, go recruit others (and write a poem)! Spread the word, upvote and share this post to make it more visible, contact poet buddies on Discord and try to talk them into joining our group.
Just remember the rules:
Comment on two other poems for every one that you post
Make it a good comment (not just “great poem!”)
If you offer criticism, keep it gentle and polite and remember the golden rule of criticism: say at least two positive things for every one thing you criticize.
Anyone who doesn’t follow these rules will not be eligible for the reward.
I’m looking forward to reading everyone’s new poem in this next week.
(Note: I’d like to start offering more prizes in the future. Please get in contact with me if you’d like to donate any Hive tokens or other rewards. Look for me as dbooster on Discord.)
Things you can do to help us grow:
- Delegate to us. There are perks
- Comment on each other’s posts. Beyond the advantage of making each other feel good, there are perks
- Write great poetry and be featured in the weekly review where you could win free stuff!
- Invite other lovers of poetry to our group
