Thank You for Your Support! You Paid for a SteemFest Dreamer to go to SteemFest!
Because of the support of all you minnows, dolphins, and whales out there, we are buying @mrwang's ticket to go to SteemFest in Amsterdam!
We hope to maybe catch the attention of a kraken or two and raise enough with this post and others to donate much more to all the SteemFest dreamers out there by continuing to ask you to upvote and resteem this post and follow me (@richardcrill) to continue to support SteemFest Dreamers and don't forget to comment on this post for your chance to win a donation to your efforts to going to SteemFest!
Beyond Bitcoin Talk about SteemFest Dreamers!
I have reserved a spot for this weeks Beyond Bitcoin Meetup at 10 am this Friday. I will be giving a short talk about the SteemFest Dreamers Campaign and our efforts to pack SteemFest with as many SteemFest dreamers as possible with paid for tickets! Here is @officialfuzzy's post about the Beyond Bitcoin Meetup this Friday:
This Friday's hangout will feature some very cool Steemit Projects like SteemQ, the steemit video platform!
Sending more Steemians to SteemFest
This campaign supports Steemians that are interested in going to SteemFest, but can't quite afford the trip. That includes me. I have not yet saved enough for myself to schedule the trip but I am working on it. I still plan on covering SteemFest gonzo style! The first SteemFest Dreamers post paid out about half the value of the ticket in Steem and Steem Dollars. Even with what went to my Steem Power, the post would not have generated enough to buy the ticket. I am personally donating the rest of the amount to buy the ticket because the main goal for this project was to help at least one SteemFest Dreamer make it to SteemFest. My hopes are that this is just the beginning.
SteemFest is on the 11th, 12th, and 13th of Novermber 2016 in Amsterdam. That's about 7 weeks away. I am going to set a goal now to help send 50 Steemians to SteemFest.
I think we can make it happen if we can grow and add to the support for this campaign. It's a worthwhile project in my mind because it adds to SteemFest which adds to Steemit and the enjoyment that Steemians are getting out of it.
Here is the plan. With enough upvotes we can support dreamers by donating to them one or more of the following:
- A ticket to SteemFest
- A donation to cover the amount for lodging at VolksHotel
- A donation to help cover the cost of a plane ticket
- A donation to cover food and other travel expenses
Only if the campaign was very successful would it be possible to do all 4 for one dreamer and make it an all expense paid trip. This would be awesome! But realistically we can send at least several Dreamers a ticket or donation that is enough to add to their current efforts and push them over the finish line to reach their goal of going to SteemFest. I am close to meeting my goal myself, and I think there are many Steemians out there in the same boat.
Thank You
The overwhelming support received on the last post involved many Steemians including @roelandp, @nonlinearone, @steempowerwhale, @mrwang, @officialfuzzy, and so many more. As a minnow on Steemit, 124 upvotes was a big deal to me. I see it as great support for this project so I have decided to continue the campaign by making several more posts before SteemFest to raise funds for SteemFest Dreamers and announce the new winners! Hopefully it will help me get to SteemFest too, because after all I'm just a SteemFest Dreamer myself.
All the same rules apply from the original post
Details
To be considered as a recipient of Steem or Steem Dollars from this post, you must be planning or trying to plan on traveling to Amsterdam for SteemFest and you must leave a comment that gives a quick explanation of how a donation to you will help you get to SteemFest. If this continues to help anyone to raise any substantial amount of funds to go to SteemFest, I will continue to do more posts to raise funds for more SteemFest Dreamers.
