🐟 🐳 Hello Steemians!! 🐳 🐬
@gogogadgetupvote here with another (almost) Daily Bounty Hunt!
I hope to encourage Steemians across the platform by rewarding new users introduceyourself posts, and by rewarding users who help me find the VERY BEST of the posts in that tag!
Everyday I will reward up to 3 users for sending me links to #introduceyourself posts. As well as Upvote and Resteem the posts that they link me to.
Not just any introduce yourself posts. They will have to meet specific criteria which I will outline in a moment, so you might have to do some looking 👁👁. I do ask that posts be in English or bi-lingual. Not that I don't want to support posts in other languages, but I can't judge if they meet my criteria if I can't read them. Thank you for understanding!
RULES FOR ENTERING THE DAILY BOUNTY HUNT ARE LOCATED IN THIS LINK 
You can click anywhere on the above image to visit the rules
(edits to the rules)
Rule number 3 should be two separate rules.
Rule # 3A. The age of the post, twelve hours to three days old.
Rule # 3B. Account activity. I want to see intro posts that have "Verification Photos" and replies to the greetings being left by others on said intro post. These activities help prove people are real and not bot accounts. I am not trying to reward one guy for making a bunch of different accounts and making intro posts for all of them. That is part of the reason that the #introduceyourself doesn't get as much attention as it used to.
Holy cow! The price of Steem! Holy cow!!!
I am sure that you are all just as excited as I am about the incredible increase in the price of STEEM over the last several days! Turns out, thanks to the wonderful increase in STEEM value, the value of my Upvote has increased as well! As such, I think if I try to use the "dollar value" for my contest prizes, I should be able to run BOTH of my contests, and have enough voting power for both! More on prizes for this post in a minute. As for now, I still haven't gotten the chance to make a new rules post. But I have found a temporary solution with the edits.Yesterday's Bounty Hunt

So go give these guys a big welcome!
Huge shout out to @tcpaikano!!!
@tcpaikano stopped by my previous post just to support the users who had submitted entries to my contest by Upvoting their comments! That is the kind of community spirit and action that really drew me to Steemit.com in the first place! Thank you sooo much for your support!
PRIZES!!!
Always the best part! As I mentioned earlier, with the increased price of STEEM, the value of my Upvote seems to have increased dramatically! I am going to be trying to implement dollar value to the prizes for my contest, in an attempt to conserve voting power. I am hoping to have extra voting power to be able to give out additional prizes (more than three per contest if this works out). This is an experimental period, and with the current fluctuation of STEEM, you could see potential payouts vary before actually seeing your reward. That being said, the prize for third place is going to be an Upvote worth at least a dollar, so that is still pretty good I think!
So here is my hope. The first place entry will get an Upvote worth ~$1.50, second place bounty will get an Upvote worth ~$1.25 and the third place bounty winner will recieve an Upvote worth at ~$1.00. As I cannot predict the Market, I will be giving Upvotes worth at least those amounts at the time I cast my vote. I will actually be voting for a few cents higher than the above amounts, in an attempt to make sure that vote reward values stay above those amounts in case of a dip in the price. As I said, this is an experimental phase, so please have patience with me.
As always, thanks for taking the time to read my post!
