Weekly Update 39

Cryptos Crash And Bring Steem Down With Them

Week 39 was the week that saw all cryptos get crunched; and Steem didn't escape, falling nearly 50%. We ended last week with Steem just a tad below 60 cents, and saw a drop into the very low 30s by this weekend. While many are worried about the future of the price, we here at @friendsofgondor plan on doing what we've done for 39 weeks now. There will be no change or re-adjustment, nor will we think about ever abandoning the program. As long as @fulltimegeek is still around, then his stewards will need the most support we can give them. And we will continue forward, even if Steem drops again further in the future!
Our upvote was excellent for the week, especially considering the plunge in prices... And of course the bulk of the vote came from no other than @fulltimegeek himself. It is also important that the others also show their support, and while the amount of money might seem small, the message it sends is huge. So keep it up everyone, the message is sent and we are helping with what we can every day on every post! On the vote values, we are casting a vote value of $0.13 per post per steward (-$0.04), which is not yet fully reflective of the drop in Steem prices.
We had 3 donations for this week, and all 3 are super regular contributors (so thank you three in advance, AGAIN)... The first is SOG member @cranium with 1.0 Steem... And the two non-SOG members are @bashadow of 1.0 SBD and @preparedwombat of 1.0 Steem. It is amazing to see such regular contributions for not only the financial impact on enabling us to lease more Steem, but also for the moral support it sends that you three took the time to donate when things are looking this gloomy out there! (It speaks volumes as to the quality of your support!) So thank you all very much :)

This Weeks Payment On Posts Today (~$8 Steem)

fog 39a.PNG

Tonight we will receive the 39th weekly payout since the launch of this program. The payout will be $8 steem, 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.

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.

red-diamond.gif

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"

Awwww...this really sux!

Not cool that this account got hit by the flag wars!!!

Drop me a reply and I'll upvote that with my tiny 6cents. Not sure how deep he has you dug in on the post and I'd rather it be a sure positive even if small, than a maybe.

Peace

You're awesome @em3... and don't worry about that... I know your heart is in the right place, but its a blip in time and little assholes like that aren't going to dent our drive or spirit! But thank you very very much for the offer and the sentiment :)

Tiny vote, less than two cents now about 1.6 cents, but even that little amount when added to the pile will help a little bit, and there is still all the other things that go with a full up vote, so tiny growth, but growth none the less. You are all doing a good job on the battle front, and it is appreciated.

Unfortunately the battle has fallen in his lap. He just got hit by ridiculous flags!! Hopefully he can make some replies here and we will upvote those.

Peace

Yes, its a shame that assholes like that have to try to shove down their will on others. The good thing is it won't deter me (and I doubt it will deter any of @fulltimegeeks followers). What a shame.... and his actions don't even deserve my breath to bitch about it. We will move on and he will go out and be a miserable soul trying to play Master of the Steem Universe. What a little man he must be in real life!

Yes I am sure it will become visible again, and get a small reward. I will do what I can, as I am sure all the others will also when they see the flag.

its ok @bashadow... we all know the story here. This isn't a group of newbies that will be shocked or surprised at this crap, so we will move forward and be positive and build something (instead of tearing something down). :)

Sorry second reply:

I wonder if anyone has done a study on what happens to a downvote if everyone that voted prior to that downvote removed their vote, then re-voted. Would the down vote effect the reward of future votes? Example he and his little squad removed about $4.50 from the post. So if all of us that voted prior to the down votes removed our votes, then re-cast a vote, would it count?

That wouldn't work. If his down vote is at least $4.5, then if everyone removed their first upvote, the post would just be negative $4.50 or more. It would still require more than $4.5 in upvotes to bring it back into positive territory. Just leave the original votes as is. Hopefully a big healer will do most of the work of bringing it back into positive territory.

Even after a year there are still a lot of things I am not sure of or know about on steemit. Thanks for that answer, it does clear things a bit for me.

Thanks @bashadow... You are a great guy and everyone appreciates your help all the time! You are a true unsung hero around here!

Sure was a brutal week price-wise. Keep it up.

yes, I would say the worst one yet (since I've been here right at 1 year)... I'm taking the opportunity to buy a little steem for myself, so maybe there's a silver lining in the price action ;)

The course does not matter when there is an idea and such an environment. After reading your thanks for my VERY modest donation, I received a pleasure that is not possible to describe in words.

I am very happy that you feel respected, because you deserve to be respected @cranium! You are a awesome pillar of what I would suggest that many of the people here should strive to be like! Thank you again so very much and I hope you have a wonderful week :)

After these words, my week is bound to be good.
