This account was started with 3 SP which comes from the account creation fee paid by @thedarkhorse (odd writing that in the 3rd person) 11 days ago. To keep with the spirit of transparency wanted to let everyone know that to help boost this account faster it will be self voting at a high rate for the next few weeks, maybe even 100% self voting....probably not but I'm going to try to keep it really high. 

Being that is the plan we took all Steem and SBD currently held and powered up the account. As of today thanks to a couple donations mentions in the [4th Account Builder Post](https://steemit.com/payitforward/@pifc/pay-it-forward-account-builder-4-gratitude-79918b17d7a8b) the @pifc account is now up to 13.099 SP. I'm happy with this initial growth and looking forward to see what we can accomplish over the next few weeks.

Still not looking for direct delegations yet. SBD or Steem to use for powing up, votes (lots of votes), SBI Shares, and maybe a Dust Sweeper gift.

### Posting Every Couple Days
Right now the plan is to post an Account Builder Post every couple days. So if you use an autovoter you know that you will be giving a vote every other day give or take. Think this is a reasonable amount of votes to ask for during the power up stage without really effecting anyone's voting power to much. If someone wants to vote more then this just look at the comments made by pifc and there will be plenty to vote on.


### Steem Basic Income
Quick reminder for anyone that has SBI shares you can get an increased vote from SBI by giving votes to their posts and comments. Currently they are giving a 100% increase in your vote power if you upvote at 100% power 16 times in a month. It's all calculated on a rolling time frame.

Now if you only vote at 50% power for 16 times you will get a 50% bonus to your vote. Vote at 100% 8 times and it's a 50% bonus to your vote. To be clear that bonus is a multiplier. That is if your vote would have been worth 0.02 and you earned the 100% bonus then your are at 0.04 per vote. This can really add up based on how many share of SBI you have.

Are you looking to get more SBI shares? If so you can always purchase SBI for @pifc and for each share you purchase you get one at the same time. This is a great way to give as it's a win-win for whoever is giving the shares.  

### Dust Sweeper
Was thinking that as I use this account more to allow for increased growth there will be some dust votes created. If anyone is interested in doing a direct donation for @dustsweeper account that would be great. The votes from  @dustsweeper are slightly profitable so any amount given will allow for a small added bonus over the amount you give over time. 

I wrote about [Dust Sweeper](https://steemit.com/payitforward/@thedarkhorse/added-pif-support-dust-sweeper-and-bashadow-misc-notes-82a19ac2c31a9) in case you don't know about the service offered by @davemccoy and @danielsaori.

### Thank You!
As always thank you for all your support in helping get this account off the ground and expect the next post to come in a couple days.
