Hello is @mineopoly there please?

Hi, this is Santa calling on behalf of a friend of yours.

I hear you've been an especially good person this year from so many people and you're on my nice list too. This one specific person wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas along with a safe and happy holiday season.

Community is what you, I and everyone make of it. I'm honored to be considered a small part of it. Thank you for all the help you've provided since we've met, I always have lots of questions and you have all the answers.

Roaming the vastness of the internet is always much more fun with a friend like you and all those I've met here. Even better when we're all laughing, joking and having a terrific time.

Your friend bought you some donuts. Mmmm double chocolate glaze

Here's a random ornament for you too. I can't BEAR to be apart. Lolzbot would be so proud haha

Merry Christmas once more to you and everyone else who reads this 🙂.

About this post

This post was submitted by an up-and-coming original-content creator to the Proof of Blind project, has been reviewed for plagiarism, and is certified plagiarism-free^*.

How can I submit original content to the Proof of Blind project?

First and foremost, go to the Proof of Blind FAQ post and review the requirements.

Second, follow @blind.submit so you will receive all future "Request for Submissions" posts.

Third, follow @blind.stats so you can follow the leaderboard and see how your content compares to all the other content being submitted via the Proof of Blind project (and see whether you have been granted permission to post to the project more than once a week).

Once you understand the submission requirements, you can click the following button to start the Proof of Blind submission process:

How can I curate for the Proof of Blind project?

Simply follow @proofofblind and vote for the best content you find there.

^*What does certified plagiarism-free mean?

As a result of our plagiarism review, we are confident that this post represents original unpublished creative work.

We are backing that confidence with a 150% curation-reward guarantee.

If you vote for this post and it is found to have been plagiarized (prior to the close of the voting period), we will coordinate efforts to zero out all presumed author rewards. However, that also zeros out all curator rewards. To protect our curators, we will fully reimburse any would-be curation rewards that were zeroed as a result of the plagiarism enforcement, and we will add 50% to it.

This guarantee applies to any curation rewards that would have been worth at least $1 at the time the payout would have occurred. For example, if your upvote was worth $2 in HIVE and $2 in POB, but was zeroed out due to plagiarism-enforcement, then we would reimburse you $1.50 worth of HIVE and $1.50 worth of POB.

What is Proof of Blind and how does it work?

Here is a quick overview:

• Content creators submit their original content (following the procedure detailed at the end of the "Request for Submissions" post).

• Submitted content is checked for plagiarism.

• Plagiarism-free content is posted via the @proofofblind account* (typically within 24 hours after submission), with

  • the original author as 85% beneficiary,
  • the person who coordinated the plagiarism review and finalized the @proofofblind post as 10% beneficiary,
  • @proofofblind retaining 5%.

Thanks for you interest in the Proof of Blind project!
