Today Minnowsupportproject puppetmaster @aggroed made an earth shattering announcement from his orbiting space command centre.
It appears that a donation of 110,000SP has been received by the minnowsupportproject from a mystery benefactor known only as @benjojo
The news has rocked the discord space and given minnows everywhere a well needed and timely boost and in an added twist will give one lucky minnow an all expenses paid trip to Steemfest in Lisbon Portugal later this year.
Aggroed earlier today. 
Sadly Aggroed was unavailable for comment as he was rushed to hospital shortly after posting suffering complications from swallowing a dictionary.

However the information posted is nothing short of breathtaking for the minnow community.
Technical assistance vital to the missions success to acquire the desperately needed funds was provided by @ausbitbank who took a break from riding the Aussie waves to bring this one home.
Ausbitbank was surfing shark infested waters at the time of the announcement but was available for photo's later to show the world his blonde Aussie awesomeness!
One report came in quoting Ausbitbank as saying "Jeez mate I'm so bloody handsome" however this has not been confirmed by the man himself.
Ausbitbank - True blue Aussie. 
Rumours are circulating as to the real identity of the elusive @benjojo as he is known to go by many aliases, one man who refused to be named came forward to say it was this man.
Hiram.K Hackenbacker. An Elusive Philanthropist known as "Brains". 
Whether or not @benjojo does indeed turn out to be Hiram.K Hackerbacker the minnow shoal of Steemit owe him a debt of gratitude that will probably never be paid back.
Discord witnesses @steemteam & @canadian-coconut were asked to comment however they refused to speak to reporters and sped away in canadian-coconuts pink Rolls Royce denying rumours of an affair.
Lovers? 
The couple have been seen smooching on a regular basis in the VIP witness section st the Discord lounge, the latest "place to be seen" by the Steemit jet set.
So what next?
All parties are now desperately trying to secure passage to Lisbon for Steemfest2 being held in the Portuguese capital from the 1st - 5th November.
The main protagonists have all managed to secure their regular transportation to the event with the exception of Ausbitbank who now plans to surf to Portugal since his yellow submarine was sadly bitten in half by a great white off the coast of Geelong just last week.
This was Ausbitbank on a barramundi hunting trip on the Murray river in January.
When questioned by this reporter if it was even possible to surf to Portugal he told me .....
"Of course it is you bloody drongo" then went on to shot gun 3/4 of a slab of Tooheys New before passing out on the floor.
As mentioned above the others have chosen their preferred modes of transport to travel to the event.
Let's take a look.
Aggroed couldn't comment as he was still in a medically enduced coma following the dictionary incident however it is assumed he will be arriving in his phallic red rocket.
Aggroed's rocket seen here on a recent buisiness trip to New York.
There is no doubt in this reporter's mind that Steemteam and canadian coconut will arrive in the usual way with Steemteam chauffeuring M'Lady at breakneck speed in the pink "Roller" all the way to Lisbon.
Seen here arriving at a charity event for Steemians with less than 2,000,000$BD's in Banff.
So Steemians, how are you going to get to Steemfest this year?
Well for one lucky minnow there the whole package deal is going to be paid for by this epic donation received today.
