Weekly Update 47

Steem Charges Forward!

source

Week 47 was a a week that may have seen Steem finally turn from its long slumber... We saw a weekly move of 50% at one point, so its a welcome bounce for many indeed! While it will take a week for our post votes to catch up, it portends a pickup in the future vote for each Steward! For the week, our voting values stayed basically steady at a $0.12 vote value per post per steward ($0.00).

We had another good week of both donations (thanks to the steady 4 - see below) and upvotes (thanks to @fulltimegeek in particular) as we will now finish paying off our leased delegation from @public-eye of 500 SP. Our upvote on our weekly post was terrific again, with @fulltimegeek adding some extra oomph and taking the post solidly over $10! We also had another week over 150 upvotes, so awesome job to everyone that has showed their support. Thank you all, big and small, for the upvotes, its always great to see the votes to the weekly post!

On the donation front it was deja vu (x3). We had 4 donations for the week for 7 Steem total, and like last week it was the same awesome 4 people leading the way! Last week I gave a double shout-out, so this week I guess a tri-shout is in store! You guys are definitely amazing and give me motivation by your attention and generosity, so thank you!!!

The donors are of course regulars and 2 are SOG members and 2 are non-SOG members: SOG members @abh12345 donated 2 Steem and @cranium 2 Steem, while non-SOG members @bashadow donated 1 Steem and @preparedwombat donated 2 Steem. That's 7 Steem we used to mostly pay off our 500 SP lease, so each of you get one last hurray! Note: ps... thanks for helping us overcome a loss a few weeks back from the person we can not speaketh his name. ;)

Don't forget who we are helping, this is the full list of SOG members supporting FTG: @fulltimegeek @abh12345 @allseeingewe @buddy67 @c0ff33a @carlgnash @cbanks @cecicastor @cheneats @coolguy123 @cranium @crimsonclad @dakini5d @davedickeyyall @defango @drakos @einarkuusk @fabiyamada @flauwy @frankbacon @geekpowered @goldendawne @greenrun @hendrix22 @hitmeasap @howtostartablog @inquiringtimes @kryptokayden @kubbyelizabeth @leighstewy @lifttheveil411 @lukebrn @luming @lyndsaybowes @marxrab @mikepm74 @old-guy-photos @openmic @orcheva @originalsimulant @quitefrankly @realtreebivvy @reko @samiwhyte @skycae @somethinfishy @spiritualmax @taskmaster4450 @theuxyeti @votovzla @wisewoof @yagoub

This Weeks Payment On Posts Today (~$12 Steem)

Tonight we will receive the 47th weekly payout since the launch of this program. The payout should be approximately $12 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.

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"
