Weekly Update 38

Slow Week As Steem Get Crunched With Other Cryptos

source

Week 38 was one of our least good weeks (Note: they are all good since we cast a vote every day). We were slow though on many fronts as I think everyone was either preoccupied with the drop in Steem, Steemfest chit-chat, and/or the surge in Steem Monsters keeping everyone busy. We did however manage to make another 9 Steem payment on our 1000 SP delegation from @em3, so we are getting closer to the point where we can grow again with new funds (we should be roughly 10 Steem left of the 52 Steem by this week's end).

Our upvote was good for the week, with great participation from many of you, and a nice visit from @fulltimegeek. But as mentioned, Steem suffered a large drop in price during the week and that definitely had an effect on the overall impact. I'm thrilled we did as well as we did, considering steem dropped below $0.60. I'd like to thank everyone for taking the time to vote and even if the values aren't huge, the message is clear! (so keep it up) ;) On the vote values, we are casting a vote value of $0.17 per post per steward (-$0.06).

We had 1 donation for this week, and it was from the man who doesn't stop on Steemit @bashadow of 1.0 SBD:

We have many regular contributors, and every single one of them is appreciated. That is why it is so amazing that @bashadow never skips a beat, even on the down weeks where others are pre-occupied, he takes the time to show his support! Awesome, simply awesome @bashadow!!!

This Weeks Payment On Posts Today (~$5 sbd)

Tonight we received the 38th weekly payout since the launch of this program. The payout was $5 sbd, and it, along with any donations will be used to initiate new leases if the rates stay so favorable. The goal will be to add more new 13 week leases to replace the expiring 13 week leases each week that come due!

We have successfully built up and stabilized our account, and now we should provide a steady and growing upvote if we continue to get your support. The goal is to give the SOG members a real benefit and with your continued efforts to support us, we will continue to build the SP and curation trail.

Thank you all for your generous support!

As mentioned earlier these new donations and earnings of sbd from posts will be reinvested to grow the SP so that the SOG members get a bigger hit to their upvote. We have now started lengthening the leases from 13 to 20 weeks depending on market opportunities.

What you can do if you want to support this project to help @fulltimegeek and his #stewardsofgondor

#1 You can follow what we are doing and tell your followers and friends through various methods

#2 You can upvote our posts to increase the amount of earnings we have to lease more SP

#3 You can follow our curation trail (84th place already) on steemauto and have your upvote show moral support (even 2 or 3% is something that matters because it all adds up)

#4 You can donate directly like the wonderful people above

#5 You can delegate any of your own SP for any period of time that suits you while this Quest is ongoing

#6 Last but not least, you can thank the individual "friends" that are supporting this effort directly. Sometimes just a stop by and a small note saying you appreciate their help will make a big difference to a donor's day!

If you can't do any of the other 5 and you support what we are doing, then #6 is a very very effective way to help us. It encourage them to spread the word and rewards their efforts with "respect"
