Hello Scorum

Even though the dazing summer heat has now a full strong grip on us here in the Far East, I still consider life to be just great. Sure there are reasons to complain, but I rather keep it short and try to focus on the brighter sides of every given day. Same goes for today's Thursday, what a beautiful day it was! I am glad to be part of this amazing play what is called life!

And another Thursday also means another chance for one of our fellow Scorum users to win another Scorum Patronage. A full week of assistance in which I will not only read all articles written by our beneficiary, but also support chosen user by upvoting one article a day.

But to get there I also need your help!

Your task is not difficult or hard at all, all what I am asking for is to go to to the comment section and nominate one Scorum writer who in your eyes could really need some support. On Sunday I will then chose and announce our next winner who will be accompanied by me for a whole week.

I am hopeful that my humble assistance will help to bring some more attention to his or her profile and to encourage said writer to continue writing quality sport blogs.

I will not only upvote the winner's posts, but also give out a big vote for the comment which nominated this round's winner first. In addition I will also throw in some more votes for those comments which explain why a certain nominee will be a great choice and why he/she needs my assistance. Hopefully this will finally lure more of you into joining the nomination round.

And don't forget, it doesn't have to be a new user!

Nominations for WEEK 31

Let's start the thirty first of Scorum Patronage in 2019. The question I usually ask is pretty easy and straightforward:

Which user here at Scorum deserves a little attention and should be supported by me for a week?

I want you to suggest Scorum users who need a little boost. I am not only thinking of new members of our community but also of writers who have been around for a while and who are still struggling getting attention for their work.

I don't care about the size of the Scorum wallet, but let's rather have a look on everybody's usual post rewards. To be eligible for winning a week of Scorum Patronage support the average post reward of the last 10 articles shouldn't be higher than 15 SCR. I am not going to be to strict about this figure, but please consider that the idea behind Scorum Patronage is to support users who don't usually get a high reward for their articles.

However, if there is a user who gets more than 15 SCR in average, but who you feel is doing a great job here on the Scorum platform, please feel free to nominate them anyways. Eventually I will check through all the nominees and accept all candidates who I think are worth of a week of Scorum Patronage.

I will then pick the candidate with the most nominations and accompany him/her for one week. If there is no leader in the nominations, I will select the one who has less SP in his or her wallet.

The blog of the user chosen by the community will be visited by me daily in the coming week and I will upvote one article per day with up to 100% of my voting power, according to length and quality of the post. Hopefully this will generate some more attention and other users will start reading those articles too.

A few more things

  • You can nominate every writer who doesn't usually get a high post reward. As written above let's first consider users who's last 10 articles get an average of not more than 15 SCR. And to motivate everyone to join the nomination round I am planning on upvoting comments, which tell me why you are thinking that a particular user deserves being supported by me. And in addition, the comment which nominates this round’s pick FIRST, will get a another big upvote from me
  • And I also need the nominees to be writing in a language I can understand, this will be in English or if you are really cool also in German. Unfortunately other languages can't be considered.
  • To avoid that those articles only consist of a few pictures and link but no substantial content I explicitly reserve the right to reduce the value of my upvote. I want to encourage everyone to stick to level of quality which we all want to see here at Scorum
  • Since the question came up before: YES, you can also nominate the same user as someone before you. As more nominations somebody get as more likely is the chance this user will be on top at the end.
  • It would be great to see the names of writers whose post don't usually get much attention and aren't visited so much. I know there are many outside who really try to bring something to Scorum but who aren't so successful yet. After starting it can be challenging and it might not feel very encouraging, when our post seem to be lost in the big Scorum nirvana.

Some final words...

Looking at the whole crypto market it seems that the upward movement of Bitcoin and Co. has already come to a halt and lots of the gains of the last few months are lost again. Bitcoin is not resting around the crucial 10.000 $ line but could even drop lower, which would eventually take most other coins further down as well. It is hard to read the signs correctly, nobody can really say whether the bear market is already over yet.

Of course this kind of environment is also bad influence for the Scorum Coin price, which is having a hard time to move away from its recent lows. There is still no real demand but still some people who seem to want to dump their coins even at this low price level. To each its own, but I am hodling for good. As I wrote earlier I have most of my coins converted into Scorum Power and that's where I am planning on keeping them for a while. I am still in for any kind of roller coaster ride which might surprised us in the future.

This said, I am ready to receive your nominations! Don't be shy, just bring them on folks!

And please don't hesitate to hook me up when you have questions or if you want to leave some comment or criticism. You can also find me in the Scorum Patronage channels which I am running on the I am Scorum discord server.

I am looking forward to reading from you.

Catch you soon...

Love and Respect !
