Ten K Minnows Graduates

Once in a while I review the state of accounts that this one is supporting with its own votes and those of the people who follow the trail. If they are well into Minnow level (1,000,000 VESTS or about 535 HP) then they get removed from the auto vote list (via Hive Vote). According to the statistics produced by Hive account@arcange the numbers in each band are not changing too much, but we do have a lot more 'redfish'. A lot of those are new Hive account@splinterlands players. I hope some of those will participate in the social side of Hive and build up their accounts.

I use this Hive account@hivesql query to see how things are going on the assumption that this account just votes for people on the list.

select name, floor(a.vesting_shares) ,a.vesting_withdraw_rate
from Accounts a where a.name in
(select distinct author 
from txvotes t
where t.voter ='tenkminnows'
and t.timestamp > '2021-07-22'
and t.weight > 0)
order by a.vesting_shares desc

The following people are well past Minnow now and on their way to Dolphin:

• Hive account@divadstrokes
• Hive account@anneporter
• Hive account@gtown
• Hive account@mattsbeamer
• Hive account@diosmarymaiz1
• Hive account@iikrypticsii
• Hive account@music1sound
• Hive account@izzieperez

They may notice a decrease in their rewards, but then they should have been building a following anyway. Growth on Hive comes through engagement and you have to put in the effort. Do not assume that you will keep getting votes from anyone.

This project is open-ended and there is no plan to power it down. We have nice delegations from various people to boost the vote. These graduations free up some voting power and so nominations are being accepted for new people. The criteria are:

• Must have less than the required HP to be a Minnow
• Must be actively posting and commenting
• Must not be powering down
• Must not be abusing Hive

Please nominate in the comments.

Hive five!
