Weekly Update 50

Fulltimegeek Did It Again, Propelling Us to 27,500 SP!

source

Last week @fulltimegeek donated 300 Steem to counter "those forces" in our path forward. This week he did it again with a 100 SBD contribution that set off a chain reaction. Along with his donation, we also had other awesome donors (below) that enabled us to aggressively look for SP delegations. First we tried on the Minnow Booster market, then when @em3 saw we were looking for decent size, he decided to delegate all of his SP to us from 3 accounts for a period of 25 weeks through August 4th. This is a bump of an incremental 5000 SP and he will let us pay it off as we get it, since we had a big chunk to start with. (NOTE: we have already paid him 339 steem) That means that the account is now over 27,500 Steem and up more than 20% from the prior week's record when we broke the 22K mark. @fulltimegeek you are amazing, and the things you inspire are truly epic! Thank you :)

Our post was flagged again by the unmentionable negative force, but we did manage to have it climb back into positive territory thanks to the FTG bot brigade. We had (as always) a good amount of votes (over 100) and netted 3 Steem, plus we had some entertainment with a visit from the boy who shall not be named. On Steem, it held its own for the week, with a few wiggles mid week before it finished right around the 30c mark again... The vote values per post per steward were up to $0.16 (+$0.02) thanks to our additional delegations which overcame the small drop in the Steem price.

In addition to the FTG 100 sbd donation, we also had 5 other donations (11.2 Steem) including a NEW DONOR @onnovocks. @onnovocks donated 1 Steem along with other non-SOG members @bashadow of 1 Steem and @preparedwombat for 2 Steem. On the SOG members, we received donations from @cranium for 3 Steem and @davedickeyyall for 4.2 Steem! Its awesome to see the new faces along with the old, so thank you all very very much. As mentioned last week, these consistent donations lay the groundwork for making this project successful as they demonstrate appreciation for the message behind the SOG program!

Finally in addition to thanking the donors, the post upvoters, and of course @fulltimegeek for his awesome leadership and generosity; I want to thank both the paid and non-paid delegators. We have many non-paid delegators that don't get mentioned each week, but they nevertheless delegate their hard-earned SP to the account to be used daily. They are basically the unsung heroes and are very special, as most keep their delegations intact all along. Its a bit redundant to mention them each week, but I will put together a list for our upcoming anniversary in a few weeks. Its a list that I will take pride in making as these are the most generous people on Steem.

I also would like to mention that a few paid delegators are also very supportive, and someone like @em3 has taken the time to understand the project and support it by doing things in their own way. For instance, @em3 delegated almost all his SP to this project (instead of through the market), and he did so at a better than market rate and also threw in an extra week or so to make it happen. On top of that, he essentially trusts us to pay him over time, which improves our efficiency since we don't have to wait for each post payout to receive the SP delegation. So thank you for working with us and we definitely appreciate your support as well!

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 (~$3 Steem)

Tonight we received the 50th weekly payout since the launch of this program. The payout was approximately $3 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"
