I want to help the SteemSilverGold members grow and all be big fish here in the Steemit Community.

You may recall about a month ago there was a large discussion regarding initiatives to help grow our community. If you missed it or were not around then Here is the link. The one idea that seamed to have lots of interest was starting a whale/voting/bot account to help with this. Phil from @PheliMint volunteered to help and was asked by Hive account@hgmsilvergold to give it a try.

Well I've been trying for the last month and finally with some help from some friends over at the Minnow Support Project and TeamAustralia I seem to have succeed in getting the voting algorithms working and programmed. From the most recent list I had available I was able to determine that 70 members are currently active and they are all being followed and all their posts are being voting on automatically. Of course if you are an active member of SteemSilverGold and I am not following you please leave a comment below. I do hope that Hive account@hgmsilvergold will also provide us with an updated list in the future.

So now we need to decide how to proceed further

I was hoping for some feedback about how everyone would like to proceed with growing the account.

The one thing I don't really want is people to send direct donations as I feel it could lead to all kinds of problems.

I think if everyone could commit a 100% upvote to this account on a regular basis that could certainly help it grow. I think we need to determine a posting interval everyone is happy with and some sort of real content for this account to post on a regular basis so it is also contributing to the community. I would be happy to share the keys with a select group of individuals to help with posting content as well.

The other way most groups deal with helping to support these accounts growth is through delegating Steem Power(SP). In which a user loans there SP to this account but it can be revoked by the user at anytime. If people are interested we can certainly explore this more.

We also need to decide how best to use the account

I am also looking for feedback on how everyone is hoping to have the voting distributed. I tried multiple times to just vote the group tag, but it never seamed to work so we will need to continue to vote for members. This means that once your a member every post you make even if it isn't silver related (as you may have noticed) is currently being voting on. If people prefer I can definitely continue to tweak this to try to include only precious metal related posts. Also currently every post made is being voting on, but if people wanted to set a daily limit it is also something I can look to building in if possible.

The last thing we need to decide is a cool graphic and image for the Bot if people could start sending suggestions or if we have any artists in the group that want to take a stab at it.

Anyways I hope we can have a great open discussion about what everyone wants to see and make this a big success for everyone.
