# Time to choose a new winner - First to respond gets it!

#### *Notice*  http://i.imgur.com/nDzBauO.jpg?1

Due to the hardfork on Steemit yesterday, the #takemyvotes prize has become **experimental.**

The old rules:
 * the winner would get 60% of my voting power which would usually give  between $4 and $8 to any post or comment that the winner votes on. 

The new rules: 
  * Unknown:  in the last 12 hours I have experimented with my voting power.  I will award the winner below with between 5% and 15% of my voting power in order to allow the winner to use my power for an entire evening.   Currently 1% awards about $1.50 to the recipient, 5% awards about $6.  

I will be adjusting the vote copying program to best replicate my previous prize within the new rewards set out by the hard fork. Either way, the winner will begin with near 100% voting power and can continue voting until my voting power depletes to 80%
