<strong>Thank you to everyone who took the time to submit an application for the Communities of the Month Support Program.</strong>

<strong>We again received 52 applications in total this month.</strong>

<strong>From the information in the applications and from our observations over the past month, the communities to be supported have been selected.</strong>

<strong>For November we have selected 42 communities in total. As well as five Communities of the Month, 37 communities will be offered support from the @booming accounts.</strong>

<strong>The main emphasis of the Support Program this coming month is participation in #club5050. We really want to see people power up more of their earnings so they can play a greater role in supporting others in the community.</strong>  

<strong>This will very much be central to how we allocate our support going forward.</strong>

Support from @steemcurator01 will begin from November 1st so make sure you have plenty of good quality, #steemexclusive posts, make sure you are commenting on all posts and make sure you continue to follow all the Community Guidelines.

If we find any of these communities are breaching the guidelines, we may reduce or withdraw the support from @steemcurator01 before the end of the month.

**Please note that if your community produces any sort of ‘Top Posts of the Day’ selections we will now only be voting on the chosen posts if they are successfully participating in #club5050.**

---

We have selected just five Communities of the Month for November so that @steemcurator01 will have some spare voting capacity to support good #club5050 posts across the whole community.

**Even if you do not post in one of the communities selected for November, keep powering up and keep using the #club5050 tag (among the first four tags) and you will still have a chance of getting a good vote from @steemcurator01.**

### Club5050 Rule Changes<br><br>

We are very happy with the participation in #Club5050.

This approach will very much be central to how our support is allocated to best grow the Steem community and the Steem economy.

We are continually monitoring how #Club5050 is working and looking for ways to improve it.

One issue we have become aware of is that by requiring power-ups every 7 days this can interfere with people’s plans to participate in the monthly #SPUD4STEEM events organized by @kiwiscanfly.

**We are therefore extending the ‘accounting period’ from 7 days to one calendar month.**

This means to participate in #club5050 you must balance any cash-outs or transfers away with equal or greater power-ups over one calendar month.

Therefore if you want to take part in #SPUD4STEEM you can make one big power-up on the 1st of the month and that can be used against cash-outs and transfers for the whole of the following month.

Of course, this does not mean that you have to cash-out an amount equal to the power-up - LESS IS ALWAYS BEST !

In fact, when deciding the size of vote we give for a #club5050 post we look at the size of the power-ups against the amount of cash-out or transfer.

If you only power-up and don’t cash-out at all that is even better ( #club100 :-) ).

We are also looking out for people who make it to Dolphin status (5,000 SP) - there are special rewards for those joining #clubdolphin.

If anyone makes it to #cluborca (50,000 SP) we will definitely be throwing a party for them…

We hope all 42 communities selected for the Community Support Program for November will fully embrace the new #club5050 strategy and take the opportunity to build the strength of their community.

Have fun, power up, get rewards and help build the Steem economy.

Thank you 

_The Steemit Team_
