Weekly Update 43

Forward We Go!

Week 43 was a week of incremental gains. Steem ($0.31), finally managed to get back over $0.30 and we added another 300 SP from the leasing market due to our weekly post and donations. We are at 16,800 SP, and knocking on our all time highs. Small steps are good and this week that's what we had!
Our upvote this week on our weekly post was again more than $12, and this definitely helps us to add a few more leases to grow our SP. We had a nice week of participation on the post and again @fulltimegeek appeared strong with his bots close behind! Awesome job everyone, and thank you again for your support. On our vote values, we were finally down for the week (last week we didn't get the drop from the previous week's Steem plunge), and we are casting a vote value of $0.12 per post per steward (-$0.02). I think that might inch a little higher next week as Steem has stabilized.
We had 7 donations for the week (5 donors) for a total of 9 Steem, which is one of our best weeks of donations in a long time! We had both SOG and non-SOG donors too. Our donors were SOG members @cranium of 1.0 Steem, @abh12345 of 2.0 Steem and @davedickeyyall 2x for a total of 3.0 Steem; and non-SOG members @bashadow of 1.0 Steem and @preparedwombat 2x for a total of 2.0 Steem. What an great week and glad to see this kind of support, especially given the hardship so many have with Steem prices so low. Thank you all for your kindness and thoughtfulness, its super helpful and your donations will be used to grow again this week!

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

fog 43a.PNG

Tonight we will receive the 43rd weekly payout since the launch of this program. The payout will be $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.

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"

Well here is hoping that Santa has brought us a present in the form of a Steem bottom.!

Yes and let 2019 be the year that we celebrate!

Greetings @davemccoy and Gondor friends.
Looks like you had a wonderful year. nevermind the low Steem Prices. They will come back.

We have a lease coming due in two days. Shall we renew it? 125.7 SP...... and i have 445SP i can add to that if you are up for it. 13 weeks? 570 SP total

Let me know! Thx

https://steemit.com/busy/@friendsofgondor/friends-of-gondor-weekly-update-26-regained-9000-sp-while-steem-remained-quiet#@friendsofgondor/re-public-eye-re-davemccoy-re-public-eye-re-public-eye-re-friendsofgondor-friends-of-gondor-weekly-update-26-regained-9000-sp-while-steem-remained-quiet-20180910t010221470z

Sure... let me see how much funds I have and are you going to do the same terms? I will take the whole thing if so and you don't mind it taking a week extra to pay it all off... just let me know and I'm happy to keep working with you @public-eye!

no problem. Yes same terms are good. and can take an extra week no problem.

ok cool... tell me how much you want to do and the total and I will send you what I get this week (which is light but it will pick up next week) and the balance from the next post until I get you all paid! Thanks and always nice working with you @public-eye!

ok ... I have 570 SP total to delegate. Looks like on Minnowbooster most are being filled at 14-20%. So if you are asking me what rate... let's go with 15% apr

That comes to 25 Steem for the 13 week lease.

Or if you want to do a 20 week lease at 15%... that would be 38 Steem.

I will be sending over the delegation shortly. If we need to change anything let me know. I am happy if you are happy!
At 20 weeks... if that is how you want to do it... would bring us until May 20th of 2019.

Let me know. 570SP should be there in the @friendsofgondor account when you go to check @davemccoy

We can do the 20 weeks for 38 steem... I will pay you first from any donations or post payouts until I get the 38 steem paid. Thanks @public-eye, its a pleasure to work with you :)

hmmmmm.... derp.
"Delegation follows the same rules but is based on your current mana. If you have 10,000 steem power and you want to delegate 10,000 steem power you would need to be 100% mana. If you have 80% mana, you can only delegate 8,000 steem power. This is to prevent draining the VP on an account and then delegating it. Although the 7 day cooldown was always in place for preventing that over long term."

yeah... just before now I went and upvoted my power down to 20% because I wasn't going to be using my SP for a while. Seems you can't do that with the new hard fork. do i really have to wait 97 hours until my voting power is back up to 100%?? Weird!!! Sorry. Then i will start the delegation in a few days. Okay?

what happened??
Oops! Something went wrong!
available_shares >= delta: Account public-eye does not have enough mana to delegate. required: [object Object] available: [object Object]

Maybe a change in the steemconnect link since the hard fork??

Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year
