2. Delegate 15 Steem Power to @BirthdayBoost.

@BirthdayBoost is a community account that upvotes its members. As the account grows larger it can support its members with larger upvotes.

3. Follow the @BirthdayBoost voting trail.

The @BirthdayBoost voting trail (***bdayboosttr***) will upvote an average of two posts each day. 1. A recent post written by the birthday honoree. 2. The current @BirthdayBoost recap post written to celebrate the birthday honoree. The main community account will upvote more than 2 posts each day in order to maximize curation rewards, but following the voting trail will only result in 2 upvotes. See below for more information about the voting trail.

Who is organizing the party?

Hello, everyone! My name is @SumatraNate, and I have been a member of the Steem community since June 2017. I have enjoyed creating content and building relationships, so I thought the next natural step in my Steem journey would be to start a support community for other members. And what a better way than to celebrate birthdays (either the day you took your first breath or the day you joined the Steem community). ![IMG_0786.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWhyg7ycFuFTfeRdqBprtY16JDGAkFjGh5wVioPXkELnR/IMG_0786.JPG)

How to follow the @BirthdayBoost voting trail

In order to be apart of the community, you must follow the voting trail with an upvote that is worth at least 300 SteemPower. The reason for this requirement is so that every @BirthdayBoost is a significant one. At present a 100% upvote from an account with 300 undelegated Steem Power is worth about $0.03. When the birthday calendar is completely filled in, our collective upvote will be worth $10.95 (at the current price of Steem). 1. [Click here](https://steemauto.com/dash.php?trail=bdayboosttr&i=1) to be directed to the @BirthdayBoost trail (which is set up on SteemAuto.com) 2. Log into SteemAuto.com via SteemConnect. 3. After ***bdayboosttr*** (the official @BirthdayBoost trail) has been added to your SteemAuto account, click the **Settings** button. 4. Enter at least the minimum required percentage based on your undelegated Steem Power. Of course, you can upvote at a higher percentage than the required minimum! 5. Set how many minutes after the post that you want to vote (recommended 25-30 minutes). Use the following equation to determined your minimum voting percentage: ` 30,000 / Your Undelegated Steem Power = Voting Percentage` Examples: 300 SP = 100% vote 400 SP = 75% vote 500 SP = 60% vote 600 SP = 50% vote 1000 SP = 30% vote 3000 SP = 10% vote

What happens if a community member does not meet the requirements on an ongoing basis?

Birthday parties are meant to be fun, so we want our community members to always feel welcomed, but we do have expectations for our community members. A community member who does not continue to meet the requirements will be given a warning about the status of their membership. If that member does not meet the requirements after a second warning then he/she will be removed from the party and another person will be allowed to fill the empty spot.
