##  Ecency POINTS prizes

Thanks to the efforts of @melinda010100 and the generosity of @good-karma and the Ecency project, we will be able to award ECENCY POINTS to our winners, as we have Ecency now as a sponsor of the **#BeerSaturday** challenge.

Starting week 259 we are up and running. Each week we will have 500 POINTS for only two damn lucky winners - means 250 POINTS for each winner.

Have a look to https://ecency.com/ and the nice mobile app they offer.
