Tagalog Trail: Updates and Delegation Rewards (Apr 29, 2018)

@tagalogtrail is born out of love for Filipino works. Toto, the persona of TagalogTrail, scours Steemit for these rare gems and brings joy and appreciation to these wonderful authors. Know more about @tagalogtrail through our IntroduceYourself post.

Our Projects: Celebrating Filipino Works and Authors

Daily Author Engagement and Showcase

We look for unrewarded posts written in Filipino in Steemit and always make sure to leave thoughtful comments. The main goal: let these wonderful authors know that someone reads their content. For some posts that we find truly excellent or unique, we feature it in @tagalogtrail’s daily author showcase with a guaranteed reward of 50% of the daily showcase post's liquid SBD.

Contests and Collaborative Challenges

We are currently hosting two challenges: an essay writing contest and a collaborative fiction writing challenge. For the collaborative fiction challenge, the participating authors are divided into two groups and were asked to write pieces of the story in succession.

Facebook Presence and Promotion

We promote Steemit Filipino works on Facebook too! Here’s the official FB page for @tagalogtrail: https://www.facebook.com/tagalogtrail.

Funds Allocation

To promote transparent operations for all our supporters, we have discussed how @tagalogtrail allocates funds gathered from rewards or donation in our previous post about delegations and funds allocation. However, we'll be reiterating the general guidelines with some minor amendment (in italic text):

1. All Steem Power author rewards would be allocated for account growth and would not be powered down.
2. All SBD and Steem donations from users would be allocated as indicated by the donor. If there's no instruction, the donations would 100% go to @tagalogtrail project funds.
3. All SBD author rewards would be allocated for the following purposes:
   • Tagalogtrail Project Funds would be further divided into two: 50% for projects and contests, while the other half would go to powering up the account
   • Featured Author Rewards are SBD funds to be distributed to daily featured authors
   • Pay It Forward Funds would be a small growing fund for future charity projects
   • Curation Team Fee would be distributed to the admin and curation team of the account

Delegation and Delegator Rewards

Awesome news everyone, we've just gained a new supporter last week.
Thank you so much for the support, @immarojas!

Delegator	Delegated SP
@jon24jon24	15 SP
@tpkidkai	50 SP
@immarojas	100 SP

Our delegation rewards calculation would span the April 16-22 2018 week, so new delegations won't be included yet. This is our curation rewards tally for the week:

Week	Total Curation Rewards	Total Delegator Rewards (80% of Curation Rewards)	Steem to SBD Rate
April 16-22, 2018	0.208 SP	0.1664 SP	1.2145 SBD

Delegator rewards are proportionally distributed according to shares and number of days it was held during the week:

Delegator	Delegated SP	Number of Days	Shares %	Payout
@jon24jon24	15 SP	7	23.08%	0.0466 SBD
@tpkidkai	50 SP	7	76.92%	0.1555 SBD
Total	65 SP			0.2021 SBD

A few notes:

• All dates included in the report are in UTC time.
• The Steem to SBD rate is based on the internal market's conversion rate at the time of calculation.
• All decimal places in the calculations are rounded off with four decimal places precision.

We’d Happily Welcome More Support

If you would like to support Filipino works and if you have upvotes to spare, you can follow our SteemAuto trail at SteemAuto.com

You can also choose to delegate some Steem Power to @tagalogtrail too. We've listed our account in SolicitingPower.com. This site is a good way to know more about the curation account since it gives valuable insight on voting pattern and history. You can also delegate to us by clicking on any of the following:

Delegate 5 SP
Delegate 10 SP
Delegate 25 SP
Delegate 50 SP
Delegate 100 SP

We only included smaller delegation amounts so that even minnows who advocate for our cause can have the opportunity to support us. For those who have the means to delegate more, just reach out to us through the comments section below or visit us at our Tagalog Trail's Supporter's Lounge at Discord.

Let’s continue supporting True and Original Filipino content!
Thank you! Mabuhay po kayong lahat!
