HOW THE #AUTOMATICWIN INIATITIVE BEGAN
It was September 19, 2018...
Can you guess the significance of that day?
WILD ADVENTURE on the Hive Blockchain.*** (Only at that time... We didn't know our blockchain was going to be alive on Hive!)That's when the very 1st #AutomaticWin's went live and we began this
*** Does anyone know who registered the very 1st #AutomaticWin!? A #HighFive and 5 Hive goes to the first person to comment correctly on that persons latest post! (Make sure that you use @wil.metcalfe's handle so that we know you found them!)
That's officially the day it happened! 796 days ago (a little more than 2 years) this crazy step counting challenge launched! 🚀
We wanted to encourage and support people actively taking the initiative with their health. Growing alongside the @Actifit project, a dApp that you can track and publish your steps/activities onto the Hive Blockchain, it was decided that we would begin incentivizing step activity with #AutomaticWin's
💨10,000👟 + 10am⏱ = #AutomaticWin!💥🏅💥
The idea was a simple and straight forward one. Wake up 1st thing in the morning, before all those distractions and expectations began demanding your time and attention, and get 10,000 steps before 10am!
WHATEVER! Just make your health a priority before anything or anyone could lay claim to your day.It didn't matter how you got your steps! You could #Walk, #Run, #Climb Stairs,
Prioritizing your health in this way laid the foundation for a WINEXCEPTIONAL! results! Now your day was primed and ready! (or how about an #AutomaticWin!) because once you had those 10,000 steps under your belt anything extra that you did would now count for
Way to WIN the day!
Making your steps count 1st thing was a way to take control and make your steps count! And that's the trick really! Adding meaning to every step you take means that your more likely to keep on doing what's good for you!
And so we all were off running, walking, and stair climbing all around the globe!!!
It was exciting because lots of people were excited to add the #AutomaticWin to their step goals!
Fast forward to today! It's November 24, 2020 and two years have flipped by FAST! But we have been, day in and day out, awarding all those thousands of #AutomaticWin's and it's been incredible! We had no idea at first that you guys and girls were out there... waiting for this idea! But you have all showed up over and over again!
WINNING is contagious!Some of you have been registering #AutomaticWin's nearly EVERY SINGLE DAY! It's AMAZING really! This is the sort of energy that's contagious for all the right reasons... I goes to show that
HOW THE #WIN INIATITIVE BEGAN
And that's why we also decided to launch another step initiative to run side-by-side with #AutomaticWin this year!
On May 24, 2020 we launched the #Win Initiative!
💨10,000👟 + 10pm⏱ = #Win!💥🏅💥
The #Win Initiative is designed to compliment or help you all build up to the #AutomaticWin Initiative. So even if your not able to rise early to the challenge of getting 10,000 steps before 10am... There's still a way to #Win! It all depends on you and the goals you set for yourself!
If you want to see if you can achieve a #Win or an #AutomaticWin just click on the hashtag to read about how other people everywhere are achieving these step goals!
You might even get excited and decide to find out how many #Win's or #AutomaticWin's you can string together! We will be right there with you every step of the way awarding achievement badges, rewarding with up-votes, and possible re-blogs for all @Actifit Reports that meet either the #Win or the #AutomaticWin requirements!
Speaking of which! Make sure your snapping and attaching your screen capture proof of #Win or #AutomaticWin to your @Actifit Report. As well! Make sure you use the appropriate hashtag (within the first 5 hashtags) in your post so they show up in the official feeds!
In addition to these awards and rewards we will also issue you a shiny NEW WIN Token for every #AutomaticWin (and 0.1 of a WIN Token for every #Win) that you achieve!
This brings us to the part of this post where we get to tell you just how many #AutomaticWin's have been registered on the feed since we began rewarding participants with our original Token called the AWIN Token. If you look at the leaderboard at the top of this post you will notice how many #AutomaticWin's have been collected by participants from the time we began issuing the AWIN Token on Steem Engine!
It's pretty incredible isn't it!? These guys and girls are straight up AMAZING and we couldn't be more proud of their accomplishments! For every AWIN Token that's a registered #AutomaticWin! Do you realize what this means?! It means that these people made their health a priority! They got up early and got their 10,000 steps before the clock struck 10am... over and over again!!!
Seeing this level of dedication was a real inspiration for us here at @AdventureReady! That's why we decided that moving our reward token to the Hive Engine platform should be a special occasion!
To celebrate all those steps that you all took we decided that we would buy back EVERY SINGLE AWIN Token ever issued!!!
NEW WIN Token. 1 for 1!1 Hive for every AWIN Token sent to the @AdventureReady account. And in addition to that we are replacing each of those AWIN Tokens with our shiny
To add to the excitement we thought that it would be fun to also reward the top 3 #AutomaticWin participants!
- 1st place - 100 Hive Reward!
- 2nd place - 50 Hive Reward!
- 3rd place - 25 Hive Reward!
So without much further ado we would like to announce our winners!!!
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ALL!!!
And for the rest of you... don't worry! You can all WIN with @AdventureReady! All you gotta do, going forward, is go out there and get those #Win's and #AutomaticWin's!

If anyone wants to read more about my perspective on how getting AutomaticWins helps me with motivation, I wrote a post about it a few months ago that I think is still a good encapsulation.
Congratulations Dan! 🙌
You are a dedicated stepper! Thanks for being right there with us for so long! Your steady approach to wellbeing and health is inspiring to say the least. I'm so glad you included the link to the post you wrote about the #AutomaticWin Initiative!
Do you mind if I include it in an upcoming special @AdventureReady post?
Go ahead, I don't mind.
Thank you Dan! 🙌
Oh wow, congratulations to all the automaticwin winnners and a very big thank you to Wil for setting up this wonderful initiative. I believe we have all gained and are healthier/ fitter after all those morning sessions. The past two years have been awesome and the future looks even more bright. Let's all keep going strong and once again thank you Wil for the lovely surprise, we didn't see this coming :}
Hey Eric! Congratulations!!!
You know... It's been wonderful meeting each and every one of you guys and girls! You all are the bright lights here on the Hive Blockchain!
Thank you for staying true to your health Eric! And thank you for registering all those #AutomaticWin's!!!
Keep an eye on all things @AdventureReady!!! There's more surprises coming! I'm just getting warmed up! :D
Wow! Thank you so much, Wil. I'm surprisingly surprised.
This is awesome. You're awesome.
Have a great day.
I have been having a great week! It's been wonderful keeping things current with our little step movement Rogerine!
Congratulations my dear! You are an amazing force for good on this blockchain and we are all better for it! All these #AutomaticWin's of yours speak for themselves!
Stay posted! More surprises to come! :D
Thanks again @adventureready! I can confirm once again trying to get the #AutomaticWin as often as possible is a great extra motivation in my fitness routine. The rewards are really appreciated and they will really help for my first Hive Power Up Day in a few days.
I love that you plan to power up your Hive Reward! If we all continue to invest in each other and ourselves we will soon have a step movement that will really turn heads!
I am always looking for ways to bring people together around healthy uplifting things... and I'm really glad you decided to come along for the Adventure!
Congratulations for getting so many #AutomaticWin's!!!
You gals and guys are amazing. Especially those ranking from 1st to 8th. Incredible!
YOU ROCK!
@wil.metcalf, thanks a lot for all the hard work you are putting into this. It's appreciated even when we don't show it enough :)
Upvoted and reblogged!
Ps: a really fancy leaderboard. Congrats!

Hey Ervin! Congratulations to you my friend!
And thank you for the boost of positivity on this post! I am as amazed as you are! All of you guys and girls are amazing and I'm just thrilled that this thing called the Hive Blockchain has brought us all together around something so great!
Steps! It's something we all have in common no matter what part of the world we call home... and with the right initiative anything is possible... even the idea of getting paid to live active healthy lives!
What's better than aligning with this! Sign me up!
I forgot to confirm both receptions.
Thanks again!
Your welcome!!!
Wow. With only 4 AWIN token, I am on the board!!
BTW, congrats to all the winners.
Yeah you are! Every #AutomaticWin represents intentionality and significant effort! Congratulations! You made those 4 #AutomaticWin's count and I'm excited to see what adventures you go on next! Keep stepping @hafiz34!
Thanks for your reply. I have a small doubt. Are both #automaticwin and #win in play? If I can score 10k before 10 am, can I use both tags in my post?
Very good question @hafiz34!
I have designed the program so that #Win's lead people to #AutomaticWin's... What this means is that the higher reward priority goes to the #AutomaticWin and then to the #Win.
Both are equally valuable and worthy objectives but the earlier the 10,000 Step goal is achieved the better! Taking care of yourself first and foremost means that you are all set to take care of everybody else.
I have always believed that I need to be 100% behind whatever I am doing... So currently (unless something unforeseen forces me to adapt) I award all #AutomaticWin's at 100% and then switch to awarding #Win's at 100% afterwards.
I'm 100% behind both objectives but @Actifit Reports need to specify which objective they are going after be it the #Win or the #AutomaticWin!
I hope that this explanation helps!
Please let me know if you have any other questions! This was a good one! 🙌
Thank you
!BEER
You are very welcome @outlinez! :)
I just sent my 39 AWINS to @adventureready, as you wrote me to @amico.sports and thanks for the advice =)
!BEER
That's GREAT! Thanks for dropping by to comment on this post Tina! I got them and will be sending 39 HIVE and 39 WIN Token to go along with it!
Good job getting 39 #AutomaticWin's! 🙌
Ben fatto, Tina! 👍 !BEER
Non c'è di che, cara Martina!
Allow me to rewrite the @tinamarr'S sentence (which the automatic translator has crippled): I just sent my 39 AWINS to @adventureready, as suggested by @amico.sports (which I thank).
Scusa ho usato il traduttore perché non conosco bene la lingua.... è uscita fuori qualche frase strana??? 🤣
!BEER
L'avevo capito, mia cara!
Si, il senso della frase era proprio sbagliato. 😜

BEER.Hi, I have sent you 9 awin from steem-engine.
Thank you
Hi @elikast! Thanks for informing me! So question... I wanted to confirm your transaction but I see that the Steem Engine page is and has been down for a couple weeks now... I have no way to confirm the AWIN that you sent. Are you able to access the website on your end?
Yes, I do!
What do I need to check specifically? All I know is that I sent the Awins, I don't see anything else!
Very strange. What's the url that your using to access Steem Engine? I can't seem to even get a front page to show up. I may have to pop over to the Hive Engine teams Discord and inquire...
Hi @elikast! Ok! I managed to get to the bottom of this! It turns out that Steem-Engine forgot to renew their domain name and switched over to .net instead of the original .com. That's why I couldn't verify your transaction!
I have now checked and YES! You have indeed transferred 9 AWIN Tokens to the @AdventureReady account! Congratulations on getting so many #AutomaticWin's!
9 Hive will be transferred to your account shortly! Watch for that! 🙌
