With ESTM, vested Steem Power, ENGAGE, and other prizes available - sign up, engage, and win! 🎁

While some may think that the problem is not enough blockchain-level features, that we need more marketing, or easier sign ups, it all boils down to engagement - Hive account@steemitblog [source]

The league tables are reset each week and so any time is a good time to join!

The Engagement League

This league is not based around financial rewards and relates to engagement.

Everyone currently on my master list has a chance here - including those powering down or dealing in delegations over the past couple of weeks.

I've used some metrics relating to:

Posts (P)
Comments - number of (C)
Number of people spoken to (PS)
Comments - replies to replies - depth > 2 (C R)
Comments - length in characters (C L)
Witness votes (W) (for those proxying witness votes, your total is always 30)
Up-votes to others (V)
Up-votes to different authors (U V)
Self-votes - No minus score but no bonus STEEM (S V)

Note: Copy/Paste comments will be excluded!

For the 2nd week in a row, Hive account@wakeupkitty tops the Engagement League - well done!

Hive account@galenkp retains 2nd place and in 3rd, Hive account@jaynie with her highest finishing position so far - I think this is our most cosmopolitan top 3 so far - Holland (I think), Australia, and South Africa, cool! :)

Excellent engagement levels also from Hive account@chireerocks, Hive account@tarazkp, Hive account@sunlit7, Hive account@abitcoinskeptic, Hive account@brittandjosie, Hive account@chekohler, and Hive account@zaibkang who will all be receiving a prize this week.

Those without a self-vote and placed in the top ranks will also receive a prize. These people are: Hive account@mad-runner, Hive account@alokkumar121, Hive account@papilloncharity, Hive account@steevc, and Hive account@bashadow.

Well done everyone!

The Curation League / Rewards based

NOTE: If you have started a power-down or been involved in delegations in/out of your account, you will not appear on this list for 15 days following the activities above. Thanks!

The end column is what I think is a genuine indicator of how well you are financially working the curation game with the tools, including vested Steem Power, that you have at your disposal.
