Minnow Support Project Bots, Delegation, two new applicants for Moderator positions, round the clock twitch, remember to vote for STEEMFEST MINNOW.

Hello everyone,

We wanted to share a few updates with the community. Minnows Support continues it's growth streak. We'll hit 2500 unique members in the community at some point today. 1592 votes were made using @minnowsupport today, and 1587 were used yesterday. We usually have over 300 people sitting in the Discord channel now.

Discord bots

There are the Discord bots in there, like Tat, Banjo, Typical, and minnowsupport. Banjo and minnowsupport can be used to vote on the block or just gather data about the block. Tat and Typical have some handy features and some social features that make running the room a little more fun and easy.

Voting bots

There are voting bots now too. Currently 123 people delegate around 120,000 steem power to a variety of project ongoing within the Minnow Support Community. You can see the full list here: https://mspdelegator.herokuapp.com/delegators. These bots do a variety of things

@centerlink- Created and hosted by @ausbitbank this bot helps Australians that need financial support due to ongoing hardship.

@minnowsupport- Created by @aggroed and infused with a 90,000SP delegation from @benjojo and an ongoing 5,000SP delegation from @neoxian this account is used in the public Discord room by anyone who has paid the 0.001sbd required to register to upvote whatever content they would like. Only prohibitions are stolen materials, hate speech, personal attacks, and porn. Those are handled on a manual basis and may lead to bans or kicks from the group.

@msp-africa- Created and managed by @aggroed this is a new bot designed to help Africans by creating a community around supporting their work. Many African countries are some of the poorest in the world, and putting together a bot that upvotes the African community can help lift these countries out of subsistence living.

@msp-creativebot- Created and managed by @sammosk this bot is designed to help those in the Minnow Support Community whose work focuses on creative projects from fiction, art, and music.

@msp-lovebot- Created and managed by @aggroed msp-lovebot is a bot designed to reward active members in the community and support those that are delegating steem power to a variety of projects.

You can delegate too

Delegation- If you'd like to delegate to any of these project this link (created by @netuoso) is the fastest way to go- http://mspdelegator.herokuapp.com/. It'll help you create the correct url to use with Steem Connect. Once you've generated the URL post it into your browser, and then add your private active password when prompted.

The benefit to delegation is that you help the projects, but you also get to help yourself. Delegators are rewarded with some upvotes by the bots, and it's matched as well by msp-lovebot. A 100SP delegation gets a 5% upvote, a 500sp delegation gets a 15% upvote, and a 1000sp delegation get's a 30% upvote. So, by delegating you can help the projects, the people the bots support, and get rewarded too.

Moderators

@cryptobeard and @rhondak are both currently applying for moderators in the MSP Discord channel. @cryptobeard is promising to contribute to the podcasting goals and @rhondak is working on creative writing contests to help spread MSP-authors. Please visit their walls and show support to their moderator application posts.

Twitching

My next goal for this project is to get an around the clock radio station going. Working with twitch and OBS (open broadcasting system) I've managed with the help of @deadsun to get a twitch feed of the Discord room up and running. The goal over the coming weeks will be to put a number of radio shows together so that a variety of new and views from the Minnow Pond can get out there. More details will be forthcoming, but if you have interest be sure to contact me in Discord.

STEEMFEST MINNOW
