Time to choose a new winner - First to respond gets it!
Notice 
Due to the hardfork on Steemit yesterday, the #takemyvotes prize has become experimental.
The old rules:
- the winner would get 60% of my voting power which would usually give between $4 and $8 to any post or comment that the winner votes on.
The new rules:
- Unknown: in the last 12 hours I have experimented with my voting power. I will award the winner below with between 5% and 15% of my voting power in order to allow the winner to use my power for an entire evening. Currently 1% awards about $1.50 to the recipient, 5% awards about $6.
I will be adjusting the vote copying program to best replicate my previous prize within the new rewards set out by the hard fork. Either way, the winner will begin with near 100% voting power and can continue voting until my voting power depletes to 80%
I have chosen three (one wins)
There are three entries below. The first to upvote, resteem, and respond to this post Wins! You will be voting with ??% of my power this evening (starting three to four hours from now)
Marks, Get set, Go!
If you are one of these contenders...
... and you are the first to respond, upvote and resteem
You win!
You have about 3 hours to announce your win, and plan your run as a whale!
Please contact me at [email protected] if you have questions. The comments section is not the place to explain things to you.
