I purchased some @upvoteshares for myself, @pifc, and then one for each 3 of the judges that are actively blogging for @pifc's Curation Contest. Then from those shares I was able to give away some @minnowshares and decided to reward some amazing steemians.
Below are the shares purchased and the minnowshares that were then given away.

You can read the post that was made yesterday showing that this round of shares is full and see who else might have bought shares here. You will see that each share is purchased with a one time fee of 3.32 steem each for this round and next round the price increases to 3.38steem per share.
The idea is each round the price will increase adding value to those who are already in the program and allow for increased vote values as the program progresses. Most of the steem is used to power up and not used for leasing SP. This means the SP used for voting is owned and the program doesn't rely on future purchases to keep funded.
@costanza is the brainchild of this program and was good enough to take the time to talk with me about it. While I don't see myself ending my use of SBI shares it's nice to have votes from another daily voting source. These little votes start to add up over time and I will be buying more in the next round to help grow @pifc, myself, and the judges who work so hard on the curation contest.
For those of you that aren't judges the minnowshares sponsorship is because I think you are doing great things on Steemit and deserve a little extra boost on your posts. This vote is daily and you will have it for as long as you are blogging. So while I may not get to each of your posts know that every post has gotten a little votes from me automatically. Thank you all for being great steemians!
