SSG-Community news and updates. The boring stuff (again)!!

So it's the first Wednesday of the month and it's time for the boring stuff everyone loves to know. They say no news is good news and it looks as though things with the running of our very own Precious is going smoothly.

The bot seems to be doing exactly as she's meant to, and "touch wood", nothing has been missed or gone wrong for a while!! I've done it now, so be prepared for it to all go tits-up....

As per usual, she's sitting at just under 117k SP with a Voting Power now over 90%. It was discussed last month that voting % may need to be cut and this was the case. With members growing and upping their delegation levels, in order to maintain a healthy VP cuts were necessary.

Now this would normally be counter productive, but actually we are slightly better off after the cuts. This is because the cut has allowed the VP to climb back to the 90's as apposed to the low 80's she was at.

We finished October with a VP of 80% and a gold upvote was 55%:

After the cuts in voting power, where gold is now 53%:

So there has been an increase in upvotes.

Last months #steembasicincome, 250sp giveaway was another great success and all your SBI shares have been bought already. We get our daily upvote from them and it all helps @ssg-community grow as well as the members that take part. Thank you to everyone that continues to take part.

Now, no ssg-community post would be complete with out a mention of the #monsterraffle. The donations are coming in, and we are incredibly grateful to all that have donated so far, but they have slowed down the last few days. If you're waiting to donate a prize, please make a post and get it out there. Every extra prize really does help shift extra tickets and every ticket counts.

A big thanks to @summertooth who is keeping track of the donations and does regular updates in his blogs.
