Hello Steem Silver Gold!

I am back from vacation.

Let's get down to business.

STEEM SILVER ROUND

Voting has begun to select the 2019 Steem Silver Round. There are 14 entries to choose from this year with Steemit members Hive account@dfinney (me), Hive account@welshstacker, Hive account@edexserverus, Hive account@themanwithnoname, Hive account@thedamus, Hive account@knowledgeseeker, Hive account@jorundon, Hive account@fat-elvis and Hive account@silverstackeruk all contributing one or more options. To vote, please visit Hive account@raybrockman's post HERE. You may vote for multiple designs.

MEMBERSHIP

SSG membership is a bit of a hot ticket issue at the moment. Several people have chatted to me offline about possibly culling our member list. Hive account@welshstacker also made a post asking the community's opinion on the issue a couple weeks ago.

I think there are several ways to do this IF this is the path we pursue. A start (that seems simple to me) is removing members who have not been active on Steemit in six or more months. My definition of inactive is no posts or comments in six or more months from the member's account. If we choose to deactivate these memberships or if we choose to move them to an inactive list, these are the individuals who would currently be affected:
FYI - This table has three columns. Your phone or tablet might only show the first two columns unless you switch to a landscape orientation.

Hive account@lengle2811	Hive account@roxdude	Hive account@unclehermit
Hive account@lesvizable	Hive account@sidewayzs13	Hive account@vispasian

There are folks on this list who haven't posted in two years. This is in no way meant to say these people aren't valued. However, if you are gone from Steemit it is hard to be a member of a silver and gold stacking community on Steemit. To add to this, if you are a current member and you have given up on Steemit, or lost interest in the group, please reach out to me here or on discord to remove yourself from the membership list. Our interests often shift or change over time. If stacking is no longer one of your interests please let us know.

SSG members, please comment with your thoughts.

Help the community, help yourself!

There are TWO ways to get a community supported votes here at Steem Silver Gold. One is via the

Hive account@myprecious curation trail, the other is via the

Hive account@ssg-community subscription bot (which is also confusingly referred to as Precious the Silver Mermaid). Here is a run down of each for our new members and a refresher for the vets.

1. Join the Steem Silver Gold curation trail - HERE

The community curation trail upvotes every member of Steem Silver Gold (unless a member requests otherwise). 23 accounts currently follow the trail. You will see the

Hive account@myprecious vote appear on one of your posts each day after 14 minutes. 23 other votes are tied to that one! Thank you to everyone on the trail!

Members may also choose to delegate to

Hive account@myprecious. There is no membership requirement to delegate, but it is a selfless way to support the entire community. There are currently 14 delegators to this account.

Hive account@enginewitty is the most recent delegator. Other delegators include

Hive account@bauloewe,

Hive account@ronaldoavelino,

Hive account@tbnfl4sun,

Hive account@dkid14,

Hive account@silverstackeruk,

Hive account@handofzara,

Hive account@edthecanadian,

Hive account@fat-elvis,

Hive account@dfinney,

Hive account@thesilverdoll,

Hive account@jznsamuel,

Hive account@guiltyparties and

Hive account@xyzashu. Thank you from all of us.

Join our members only upvoting bot (aka Precious) - HERE

Precious the Silver Mermaid upvoting bot (linked to the

Hive account@ssg-community account) is open to all members of the #steemsilvergold community. She has well over 100k in voting SP and members can receive daily upvotes by either delegating SP are donating STEEM on a monthly basis.

If you have the funds, the ROI on our community bot is excellent.

If you have questions about the Hive account@ssg-community subscription bot (aka Precious the Silver Mermaid), please reach out to Hive account@welshstacker. He can advise you on how to delegate, pay liquid steem or use a combination of the two to reach a subscription tier.

Have a lovely week dear silver and gold stackers!
