Thank you to the Steem community for your support of the steemvoter.com rescue project. I am pleased to report that there is a deal in sight. Hive account@marcgodard has been receiving lots of engaging and supportive activity on the Hive account@steemvoter Steem account and is feeling a lot more positive about the project and I dare say he is enjoying himself a little bit. :)

Marc has put an alternative offer on the table whereby we would become co-owners of Steemvoter.com and grow it together for a lower buy-in of $2000, luckily the Steem Dollar is around 0.99 right now so not much will be lost in the conversion. I like the synergy of this offer and enjoy brainstorming with Marc so I would like to aim for this.

Currently I have raised 1 685.686 SBD which is in the savings account, therefore there is just 314.314 SBD short to achieve the target and keep steemvoter.com running for the good of the Steem community.

I think one or two more crowdfund posts should do it.

Also please refer to Marc's post of the upcoming changes:

https://steemit.com/steemvoter/@steemvoter/coming-changes-nov-16-2016

We have introduced some gamification to try stimulate demand for Steem and the holding of SP, by introducing a tiered structure whereby the more SP you hold the more account rules you can implement.

I also have an interesting idea I want to explore with Marc, whereby one would control which authors to vote for simply by following/unfollowing them on Steemit.com or re-steeming a post for a once off vote from all your linked accounts. I for example have a few accounts and it becomes tedious to log in and out of each to vote and if a simple resteem could initiate a vote from all, what a pleasure. If I choose to continue voting this author into the future I would simply follow the author and steemvoter would detect the follow and add the author to my rules whereby I can then login later and adjust the vote percentage and time to vote.

I hope you will support this initiative one more time, we are close to target and then I can relax and work on the project with Marc more proactively.

Namaste!
