Weekly Update 42

We Grew Even As Steem Drops

source

Week 42 was another down week for Steem ($0.22), but we managed to pick up another 500 SP on the leasing market from our weekly post and donations. We are getting close to 17k Steem again, and its nice to grow when everyone seems so gloomy out there. Its great to see both the Stewards and followers of @fulltimegeek's amazing efforts support the community embrace this project with upvotes, donations, and general positive vibes. Rewarding the Stewards of Gondor with this small upvote on every post for 42 weeks is something we should all be proud of and most of all is a reflection of the respect we have for @fulltimegeek and his efforts.

Despite the drop in Steem price, we had a very good upvote this week of more than $12 (we won't be paid til Tuesday as my power was out last week). It was a solid week of participation by many voters and of course a big share from @fulltimegeek and his bots. Thank you all very much for the show of support and every bit helps as this week's 500 SP increase is a testament too. On our vote values, we actually grew a penny even with the drop in steem thanks to the 500 SP pickup during the week. We are casting a vote value of $0.14 per post per steward (+$0.01).

We had 1 donation for the week, SOG member @cranium of 1.0 Steem. I also want to note that @bashadow also contributed, but because I posted on Tuesday I mentioned it then on that post. So in reality we had 2 donation from two very regular and amazing people. Thank you both for taking the time to support the program and to be so consistent week in and week out.

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 (~$11 Steem)

This Tuesday we will receive the 42nd weekly payout since the launch of this program. The payout will be $11 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"
