As I understand it, a minnow has more than 1 million vests but less than 10 million vests.

then i am a minnow!

What is the source of your understanding?

What is someone with less that 1 million vests, if it is not a minnow?

1 million vests is a little more than 2,000 SP.
Do you mean that anybody with less than 2,000 SP is not a minnow? Not in my book.

Plankton.

1 million vests is a little more than 2,000 SP.

Nope. A million vests is approximately 483 SP.

It's a powers of 10 thing:

Yes, you are correct. For some reason I made an incorrect division (1,000,000 / 483.5).

So, minnow is between 1M and 10M vests and plankton is below 1M vests.

I doubt that @stellabelle wants to prevent people with less than 1M vest to participate in the contest.

Probably true. But it's of course up to her to decide on the parameters.

Thanks @preparedwombat, I learnt a new word today. I never knew I was a Plankton. I thought that if I ain't a whale or a dolphin then I must be a minnow. But whatever is the case none of us are either a man or a woman which is another condition to participate here. And why would all these fishes would like to travel that far in some small tank risking their life is beyond my understanding. 😅

I would recommend that we have more categories than just whale and minnow. I suggested maxnow but it sounds a bit weird. Maybe for now we can just go with your average value of your posts after about 5 hours: minnow less than 2 USD, small fish 2-7 USD, big fish 7-20 USD, baby whale20 - 50 USD, whale 50 USD and more
