Testing New Membership Model

Hey there! It's been a while since we've done an update and we have some changes in store for the community. Before we get started on the changes we wanted to thank each of you for your support! We believe these changes can help grow our community and support to levels unseen and are open to your comments!

Membership Changes

We are adding a new membership model for our community! Just like before you'll still be able to pay 1 Steem a month or delegate to the @dlivecommunity account to become a member. While this works great for some users who have established themselves enough to reach a certain level it can leave people with less Steem out of the fun. We don't want that!

That's why we are adding an option to subscribe to our curation trail for membership! Now we will do a weekly post that updates our membership settings for anyone that is on the curation trail with at least 50% voting power at the time. This will be the first week of the trial so we've added the following accounts to the membership list:

@johnulrich
@ghostmanonfirst
@realkentucky
@darrin
@beardsandbass
@robertsgoforth
@allisongreen
@thatterrioguy
@kevinrodgers
@letsplaywhatelse
@landoperento

We are excited to start sharing the membership with these great accounts which have been supporting our community for some time. We can't wait to see you're broadcasts show up in our feed!

If you'd like to join our curation trail you can start sharing your vote here - https://steemauto.com/dash.php?trail=dlivecommunity&i=1 - Remember to gain membership you need to join with at least 50% voting weight.

DLive Promoter

You may or may not know that we operate a bidbot for the Steem network as well. It's been active for a few months now and has been paying out 95% of bids back to delegators! The remaining 5% has been coming into the community account to help us begin growing the support we can push out to everyone.

We have some changes in store for @dlivepromoter as well so be sure to stay on the look out there. If you follow us on steembottracker.com you'll already see some of the changes we've made but we'll be announcing new changes soon!

Voting Power Management

We are currently making sure everyone is receiving at least 1 vote a day with their membership. While we've been able to do this at 100% voting weight we do anticipate many new members with the curation trail offering. If membership increases where we are no longer able to support this voting style we may need to adjust our voting to ensure everyone still gets daily votes. It's our hope that the increase in curation trail members will offset this drop in voting percentage.

Thank you all again for the support you've shown so far! If you haven't yet please join us in our discord group by joining at http://discord.dlive.community. We'd love to hear your thoughts and answer any questions you may have!
