Hey folks! Here I am again. I seem to have fully recovered from my illness and have rushed back to work to take of businesses that were left unattended to in my little time off. The week has been a busy one but I still have some free time to do what I want like spending some time on two beloved platforms posting, reading, commenting and tipping.
Wow! All I could say when I checked the crypto market this week. Bitcoin has murdered the 48000 and 50000 highs and keeps soaring to greater heights. As of the time of writing this, Bitcoin is at $51,700 and it promises to keep soaring to new ATH leaving the market excited and the supporters cheering. Where will it be at the end of the month and which other coins are moving along?
Last month, January, the average price of Bitcoin Cash briefly reached $600 before dipping down to approximately $400. Today we have a BCH price of $717 with a 6% increase in the last 7 days. An appreciated move. I believe it has the potential to do better and I look forward to BCH hitting $1000 soonest.
Back to the Patronage
We keep moving and getting support from the users. The 7th week of the Patronage has @Crypto_Politics and @youngdim1 as it's beneficiaries. I have had several attempts to send sponsorship offer to both users but have failed each time. The challenge is in uploading the ad image; I have used my avatar which I have been using in previous sponsorships, and I have tried several images from my gallery. After uploading to 100%, I will receive the error message:
"Request failed with status code 500"
This has prevented me from sending sponsorship to the beneficiaries. Any suggestion on how to circumvent this?
At the moment I have subscribed to both users and tipped the articles they have published within the week. Waiting for more articles to tip and looking for a solution to the sponsorship hitch.
The Patronage Week 8 Nomination
This is the eighth nomination round of the Patronage in 2021. And as in the previous nomination rounds, you should nominate users who deserve a little boost from me and not just because they are your friends. You can look out for new users as well as old users who are getting too little or nothing for their posts.
The number of subscribers is not of concern, let's have a look at active users, who consistently post good content. Let's try to avoid nominating users who are already earning more than $1 on most of their articles. Some users post ten or more articles without earning any reward, those are the kind of users that will appreciate the little support from the Patronage.
The weekly nomination question remains the same:
Which user(s) here at read.cash deserves a little boost and should be supported by me for a week?
How to nominate users?
The nomination of users for the Patronage week is simple. All you have to do is to think of users who you think deserve the little weekly support from the Patronage and mention their correct username in the comments section of this post. You are allowed to nominate one or two users. Not more than 2 users. Nominations end on Sunday.
On Sunday, the nominations will be calculated and two users with the most nominations will become the beneficiaries of the week. And if more than two users share equal top numbers if nominations, I will review their accounts and chose two active users with fewer subscribers and less earning.
Don't nominate previous beneficiaries
We have had twenty-nine (29) unique beneficiaries since the start of the Patronage initiative. I share the list of previous beneficiaries weekly so we don't have to nominate a user that has benefitted from this. We aim to have new users to become beneficiaries every week. We plan to reach as many users as possible, so let's avoid nominating previous beneficiaries.
Here is a list of the users that have been Patronage beneficiaries:
These are the users that have benefitted so far from the Patronage, let's nominate other users so that more can benefit.
The Patronage Package
Below are the benefits users receive as beneficiaries of the Patronage week:
Subscriber(s): I will subscribe to the beneficiaries and hopefully other users who are supporting the Patronage will also do same.
Sponsorship: I will send sponsorship to the users and it's up to them to accept or reject the offer. Note: For this to be possible, the beneficiaries have to enable the sponsor block on their account.
Tips: I will read and tip up to 7 articles published by the users within the week of being the Patronage beneficiaries.
Nominators Bonus: The users who participate in the nomination rounds by nominating other users will have their nomination comment tipped by me. Also, the users that nominate the beneficiaries of the week will get an additional tip.
Other things to note
To encourage users to participate in the nomination round, I will tip comments, especially nomination comments that give reasons for nominating the users.
I will only tip articles written in English. I can't tip what I can neither read nor understand.
The tip amount depends on the quality of your article. And I reserve the right not to tip your articles. As much as I want to support users to publish more, I also want to encourage them to stick to the level of quality which we will all appreciate.
Yes, you can vote for the same users as the user before you. As the more nominations, a user gets, the more his/her chances of topping.
Enough said let's get the nomination started. Keep it coming.
I guess I'll try, I nominate @Hanzell. hehe
