My Christmas letter is here:

Dear Buffalobison,

Happy Holidays. I don't know you well but I see you all over the internet. Thank you for your pure heart and sincerity. You are unique and have managed to motivate me to interact and create when I felt like giving up. Anytime you show up people feel good and want to open up and engage.

I don't know if you will ever read this @buffalobison, but if you do read this I want you to know that I appreciate everything you have done for me and for this community. Keep making spirits bright.

Your Friend,

Secret Santa

_{Gifts are given to be received. Freely I have received and freely I will give. If you do see your name callout out on a secret I recommend writing your own. It's easy on @proofofblind.}

Here is a little Pecan Pie for you. All images on this post including the pie come from my cell phone camera and I have the right to use them.

Merry Christmas

About this post

This post was submitted by an up-and-coming original-content creator to the Proof of Blind project, has been reviewed for plagiarism, and is certified plagiarism-free^*.

How can I submit original content to the Proof of Blind project?

First and foremost, go to the Proof of Blind FAQ post and review the requirements.

Second, follow @blind.submit so you will receive all future "Request for Submissions" posts.

Third, follow @blind.stats so you can follow the leaderboard and see how your content compares to all the other content being submitted via the Proof of Blind project (and see whether you have been granted permission to post to the project more than once a week).

^*What does certified plagiarism-free mean?

As a result of our plagiarism review, we are confident that this post represents original unpublished creative work.

We are backing that confidence with a 150% curation-reward guarantee.

If you vote for this post and it is found to have been plagiarized (prior to the close of the voting period), we will coordinate efforts to zero out all presumed author rewards. However, that also zeros out all curator rewards. To protect our curators, we will fully reimburse any would-be curation rewards that were zeroed as a result of the plagiarism enforcement, and we will add 50% to it.

This guarantee applies to any curation rewards that would have been worth at least $1 at the time the payout would have occurred. For example, if your upvote was worth $2 in HIVE and $2 in POB, but was zeroed out due to plagiarism-enforcement, then we would reimburse you $1.50 worth of HIVE and $1.50 worth of POB.

What is Proof of Blind and how does it work?

Here is a quick overview:

• Content creators submit their original content (following the procedure detailed at the end of the "Request for Submissions" post).

• Submitted content is checked for plagiarism.

• Plagiarism-free content is posted via the @proofofblind account* (typically within 24 hours after submission), with

  • the original author as 85% beneficiary,
  • the person who coordinated the plagiarism review and finalized the @proofofblind post as 10% beneficiary,
  • @proofofblind retaining 5%.

Thanks for you interest in the Proof of Blind project!
