Introduction
I care about those who take the time to leave a thoughtful comment on my article. I want them to know that I appreciate them.
The problem is that it's quickly becoming more and more difficult for me to get to ALL the comments. Firstly, the notification system is crap right now (it's been 2 weeks since I had any notification on my account) and secondly because there are a lot of comments that come after my 24h later review.
When you get 120 comments per post and you post almost every day...it's difficult to keep up. I could if I was full time or hired someone to do so but, that is not my situation right now. But I got something here to make it up to you!
Special Gift to My Top Commenter and Followers
I bought almost 200,000 SteemPower in Delegation From BlockTrades
You've read that right! I will double my SP so that my upvote on your thoughtful comment is worth 2X as much as it is right now. I figured that with the SBD being that high, it would be a great help for my followers to get extra $$$ from their comments.
I Got SteemAuto Creator @mahdiyari to Develop Something Cool
He is developing a feature where I will be able to autovote, via a list I compile, certain people in my comment section.
That will allow me to make sure that my most engaged users get rewarded even if they comment 48h after I wrote an article.
From there, I will use that list to auto-upvote at 5% your comments after 30 minutes. (1 max per post)
Once I get my delegated steempower, my 5% upvote will be worth ~$2.80. With SBD being at $6, that means that you'll get about $7 USD worth of STEEM for every thoughtful comment you leave.
What you have to do to be on that list
- You have to become a fan of @cryptoctopus on SteemAuto (that way you get on the list...see screenshot below)
- From that list, I will look at my comment section and discard people who write generic comments that don't mean anything.
- Voila! Those chosen will get almost $7 worth of Steem for their comment under my articles
How to Become @cryptoctopus fan?

Conclusion
I hope you will join my fanbase. I will admit, this is not 100% altruistic. I sure think it's cool that I will finally be able to reward my most engaged followers with a generous upvote. I'm sure it will make a big different for them. It's also important to spread the STEEM around to the most amount of people as possible. But I'm also motivated by the fact that as I get my fans to get more and more SteemPower, their upvote will be worth more and more on my post over time. It's a Win/Win after all.
PS(1): Being a fan doesn't guarantee that you get an auto-vote on your comment from me. If I see that you are trying to abuse by write multiple comments, I will discard you from the list. If the quality of your comments starts going down, I will discard you from the list, etc. You get the picture.
PS(2): My delegated SteemPower is supposed to come in today. I'm taking a 20h break of voting until my voting power is replenished https://steemworld.org/@cryptoctopus. Once it's at 100% and my purchased delegation kicks in. The voting will resume!
