I initially intended to launch this contest to celebrate my ascension to the Top100 witnesses but I then quickly fell back down to #116 because whoever had powered up must have powered down or has remove its proxy vote to one of my voters.
Anyway, as it was already planned, I'm sticking with it as a way to say thank you to all who believe in me.
The prize
So today, I'm launching this contest with three prize to win:
- The first price is 15 SmartVote Shares giving the winner daily upvotes with 300 SP weight
- The second price is 10 SmartVote Shares giving the winner daily upvotes with 200 SP weight
- The third price is 5 SmartVote Shares giving the winner daily upvotes with 100 SP weight
How to enter the contest
I would like to raise awareness about A Dollar A Day, a charity project run by @pennsif so the contest is about creating engagement with one of the projects supported by @adollaraday and for this contest, I've selected to support @papilloncharity, a non-profit charity founded in South Africa in 2002.
To enter the contest, comment on any recent post from @papilloncharity and upvote it to show them some support and send a link in the comments section below. Your comment on @papilloncharity has to be from today onwards.
When this contest post pays out, I will proceed with random draws of the three winners and on top of this, @papilloncharity will also receive 15 SmartVote shares.
What is Papillon Charity
Papillon Charity is a registered non-profit charity founded in South Africa in 2002 and run by Stephen Smith and his wife Marian.
The Papillon vision of “Creating better tomorrows from the ashes of today” was established after a thorough Research was done into the immediate and long term empowerment needs of the communities.
It is the Foundation’s strategic focus to expand its successful Computer training projects to all nine provinces. To this end Papillon, in its present form, will remain chiefly as a training hub to identify needs within various communities, screen prospective project implementers in their own communities, and then train them in the various aspects of Project Management. It is believed that with this model, people from the community will not only be able to help others by replicating Papillon’s Projects, but will also earn a modest salary whist doing so, resulting in their own self-sustainability.

What is A Dollar A Day (ADAD)
ADAD has recently reached their highest ever monthly donation of US$700 reaching a current total donation of over $4000 since May.
I have been consistently donating 1 SBD per day to ADAD since May for a total of about 185 STEEM.
What is SmartVote (SV)
SmartVote is an upvote service project on Steem that I helped launch 3 months ago. It initially accepted only SP delegation but is now introducing shares purchase as a way to participate. The principle is simple: delegate SP or buy shares with STEEM and you will receive daily upvotes from @smartvote. Your delegation and shares cam be combined to boost the value of the upvotes you will receive.
SP delegations will get you 10x their value as vote weight, for example, delegate 500 SP and you will receive daily upvotes using 5000 SP as weight.
With SmartVote Shares (SVS), you use round amount of STEEM to buy SVS and get, in return, 40x as vote weight, for example, buy SVS with 20 STEEM and you will receive daily upvotes using 800 SP as weight.

Password and Private Keys security
You all know that your Steem password is the access to all your STEEM, SBD, posting, transferring, everything... right?
So, please, follow these simple steps and keep yourself safe:
- Apart from the initial setup of your account, NEVER use your password ANYWHERE, if stolen, it will give full control to your Steem account.
- Backup your password and keep it somewhere safe. Use a password manager like Lastpass, print it on paper and put it in a safe (no kidding). If you forget your password, no one can help you out.
