August first is here, we had a surge of new delegations but also lost a portion of our paid lease, so power is down around 10K, but we are still sitting around 120k, so we can still offer some great votes. In fact with the recent slow down on steemit and posting in general our power has been trending a bit high so I have increased everyone's votes slightly as well. I'm still posting from work, so when I have a couple nights off all figure out the new algorithm and share it with everyone.
For anyone who wants to learn more about our community and upvote service, please go ahead and check out this post here for all the details. also available in Spanish HERE thanks to one of our amazing members!
Stax's Picks
One of our members helps run this great charity service so today we're going to take some time and showcase this great idea.
It's actually a writing contest so any content creator can join and I know we have many of them in our great community. The reward is a monthly vote from @SndBox, which I believe is quite valuable so it's a great thing to head over and check out.

I think that this is such a great event and great opportunity that it's the only post I'm going to showcase today.
Community Partners
I wanted to take a moment in our daily posts to shout out some of our community partners! There are lots of other great upvote and curation services across steemit so please feel free to check out some of our partners. Also many of them still accept subscriptions in Steem/SBD for everyone still inquiring about that option, it's a great way to get noticed and reward your posts and great services to support over bid-bots.
