Weekly Update 44

Nearing New Highs Again

Week 44 was not a special week, but thanks to the efforts of the donators and post voters, we were able to pick up another 300 SP on the lease market for 13 weeks, bringing out total over 17K SP again as we near our all-time highs. Steem dipped back under $0.30 (to $0.27), but it didn't have much effect on our voting power as we maintained our $0.12 vote value per post per steward.
Our upvote on our weekly post was a little smaller this week as I think the drop in steem values has really put a dent in people's voting sizes. Its ok though, we had great participation with many votes from many people including @fulltimegeek and his bots as well! Even though the vote value wasn't huge, its still a testament to the SOG program that so many take the time to give their approval by just casting a vote at all. Its not always about the money and I think the people that follow @fulltimegeek know full well how much that is true. So wonderful job everyone, your votes are important (no matter how big), because they symbolize approval and that is significant in tougher times!
We had 1 donation for the week, the steady regular @bashadow for 1 Steem. Thank you so much @bashadow for being so consistent week in and week out! It is truly appreciated and your donations definitely help us grow on a steady basis. Also of note, at the end of the week we made a deal with @em3 for not only our expiring delegation with him, but he will add more to bring it up to 500 SP for 20 weeks. He is one of our regular lessors that wants to support the program by steering his paid delegation to help support @fulltimegeek's Stewards. We will be using our next 38 Steem to cover this lease and this weekly payout and any donations will be a start on getting it covered. So thanks @em3 for thinking of us and for giving us favorable and preferred leasing terms!

This Weeks Payment On Posts Today (~$2.5 Steem)

fog 44a.PNG

Tonight we will receive the 44th weekly payout since the launch of this program. The payout will be $2.5 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"

@friendsofgondor @davemccoy just sent the delegation. had to wait for the vp to recharge!

Thx

Awesome @public-eye! No worries and great to work with you :) ... Happy New Year

570 SP from 1/1/2019 until 5/20/2019
Thx

It is a shame he pulled his witness, but such is life. I am sure when the time is right he will drop a toe in to test the waters again. The fight, as we well know, will go on. There are always going to be those that want to rain on other peoples parades and to tell them when where and how to do something while they do as they please.

yes I agree completely... Wish he made it to the "make a difference" round, but the bottom line is he still has a huge voice and isn't afraid to use it! Happy New Year @bashadow
