Latest News:
I apologize for the lack of posts. Now back at it and I hope everyone had a great Halloween. There was a little treat for the voters on the Halloween VIP post.
There will be a slight decrease in the payout percentage due receiving help from a developer on a payout script. The person that coded the script will receive a percentage from every post. This will make things easier on my end and for the voters to receive their rewards in a timely manner.
If you have any feedback or want to keep up with the latest updates from VIP, join the #vip-trail on Discord.
VIP Bonus At the bottom of the post, there will be 2 topics to choose from. Choose one and leave a comment giving reasons why that is your choice. The comment with the most votes will earn a reward of 5% from the pool. The description below has been updated to reflect this change.
By now most of you know how the payout goes. I will be displaying only the VIP Feature and Bonus payouts.

What is Vote Interest Pool(VIP)?
VIP in a new project and an initiative to reward voters for... well... voting. You are already given this from the 25% deducted from post rewards and given to the curators as part of the Steemit platform standard. With VIP, you will be rewarded on top of this.
Similar to @steemsports, but the main goal of VIP is to progress the Steemit platform and have more steem/sbd/steempower distributed to everyone. The more everyone one can get, the better.
In order for VIP to be successful, it will need the community's help. As far as I seen here on Steemit, it shouldn't be much of a problem. Almost every user is rethinking how they use a social platform and trying to help Steemit grow. I am confident we can accomplish this and everyone can feel the VIP treatment.
VIP Feature
Every new post will feature a "VIP Feature" post created by fellow Steemians. To better the Steemit community in quality, this feature was created to support verified users on Steemit and get the community interacting more together.
In order to be featured on a VIP Feature, jump on Steemspeak radio and say hello and meet others in the Steemit community. Who know's, you may run into @charlieshrem or @ned in there :)
Once verified and we know you have a voice and are not a robot, You will be randomly queued to have your most recent post for the day to be featured for the VIP Feature. once you made it on the random queue list, one of your most recent posts will be featured once every 3 months to allow others to be featured.
The @voteinterestpool account will automatically vote the post featured for VIP Feature on the authors account.

Example:
If the VIP post hits a reward value of $500 after 24 hrs, automatically roughly $125 will be deducted for the 25% curation voting rewards.
The 75% remainder:
50% in SteemPower value of $187.5 will go to the @voteinterestpool account for the author post curation reward.
10% goes to the author on "VIP Feature" at roughly $18.75 value in Steempower
The remaining 40% rewards will be roughly $168.75 and distributed to 300 voters if the post reached $500 by 300 votes.
Everyone will receive roughly $0.5625 value in SteemPower.
So let's shoot for $1000+ so everyone who votes will get over $1 worth of SteemPower!
@voteinterestpool account voting:
Other than "VIP Feature" author's post @voteinterestpool account will follow voting trail of @instructor2121 and @fyrstikken because they are reputable members that are doing contributions to the Steemit platforms and are good judgement on quality posts and users on Steemit, if the event the @voteinterestpool account becomes large enough to have large voting power. This will ensure voting will be distributed outside of just VIP.
Disclaimer:
- @voteinterestpool may be subject to changes in the future to maintain operation
- If the VIP dividends are are less than 0.0001, it will carry over to the next VIP payout.
Special thanks
@instructor2121 for contributing to this project
Can't forget the Steemspeak crew. Their support motivated me to keep going so I wouldn't have made it this far without them. @fyrstikken, @proctologic, @contentjunkie, @inertia, @krnel, @sykochica, @patelincho, @tee-em, @noganoo, @pharesim, @mughat, @applecrisp, @raymonjohnstone @creationlayer, @shneakysquirrel, @pickokernel, @ausbitbank, @poeticsnake, @kiddarko, and anyone else I forgot to mention.
Note: There are probably many of you have wondered who created this project and maintaining it but it's not hard to figure out. I want VIP to be a community success and didn't feel like I needed the mention as the special thanks mentions those that have contributed insight on what they felt was needed for Steemit. I'm just another Steemit user learning something new.
Thank you,
@bitcoinparadise

For those that are not aware, PRISM is a U.S. government program to do a nationwide surveillance on their own people. This was revealed by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. Do you agree with this program and think it is necessary for this or any nation's security and well being? Yes or no? Please explain :)
