First Steem Budget + Investor Payments!
Our first budget proposal earned 366 Steem today while investors made 62% APR during the first 36 hours since we started at https://steemit.com/budget/@jerrybanfield/introducing-steem-budget-proposals which is an amazing testimonial to our ability to work together!
Congratulations to https://steemit.com/budget/@steempunknet/steempunk-net-mmorpg-on-the-steem-blockchain-already-in-open-beta-testing-attracting-players-from-outside-steem by @steempunknet for being the first project to receive funding!
We funded this project first because months of work have already produced the first functional MMORPG on the Steem blockchain and a functional website plus discord channel as explained at https://steemit.com/budget/@steempunknet/steempunk-net-mmorpg-on-the-steem-blockchain-already-in-open-beta-testing-attracting-players-from-outside-steem.
The first payment was sent for 366.896 Steem today while the rest of the 1,500 in Steem requested will be paid over the next week or two as more bids come into the jerrybanfield voting bot. Meanwhile, additional proposals at https://steemit.com/trending/budget will begin receiving payments this week.
To have the highest odds of success, will we submit proposals that either have already been started or that very clearly explain what will be done because this will ensure we get the highest return on our investment? I will submit a proposal within the next day or two as an example.
Delegators Earning 62.58% APR!
Thank you very much to @freedom for delegating 97522.957 Steem power along with @drorion, @tomasgeorge, @jasonclay, @gmichelbkk, @dehenne, @joeparys, and @stimp1024! We are very grateful to already have 137,524 Steem power delegated because this greatly increases the amount of upvotes available and therefore the amount of funding for both projects and investors!
The payout was equal to 0.00257 Steem per Steem delegated meaning every 1,000 Steem Power delegated earned approximately 2.57 Steem in the first 36 hours! Dividing by 1.5 brings us to 24 hours and multiplying by 365.25 brings us to an expected return of about 62.58% yearly at initial day and a half's earnings rate meaning a year's worth of 1,000,000 Steem power delegated to jerrybanfield with no changes would produce about 625,795 Steem back to the delegator in 365.25 days.
Part of the reason these payouts are so high is because my Steem power is not counted in the total and because the SBD is currently buying 5 Steem. Ongoing returns will depend on the price of Steem, SBD, the amount of witness rewards, and amount of curation rewards adding up relative to total delegations.
How Does This Work?
We are now running a voting bot on the @jerrybanfield account where anyone can send SBD and soon Steem to place a request for an upvote. Every 2.4 hours @jerrybanfield places votes at a power relative to the size of the bid. Half of what is received goes to @budgets to pay budget proposals while the other half goes to @jerrybanfieldroi to pay the delegators empowering us to earn higher bids. Track the profitability of the bot and previous voting rounds/bids at https://s3.amazonaws.com/yabapmatt/bottracker/bottracker.html
To make a budget proposal, tag a post with budgets as the first tag. In the post, make a request for funding in STEEM included with a detailed explanation of what that funding is needed for, what has been so far, who is contributing, how the results may look, why this will add value to the Steem blockchain, and when the work will be done.
Earn as an investor by making a delegation of at least 500 Steem power to jerrybanfield. I recommend using the Vessel wallet by @jesta to manage delegations as shown in the tutorial here.
The easy way to make a delegation is to use a link from steemconnect which I am happy to make for any of us! If you would like to delegate and would appreciate just clicking a link and signing in with the active key to complete the transaction, would you please ask me to make a link for you in this post and include how much Steem power you want to delegate because then I will reply with an exact link to click?
Thank You!
We are very grateful for this opportunity to collaborate in funding projects that grow the Steem blockchain and hope you have a wonderful day!
Love,
Jerry Banfield
What I fear the most about you is that you might start funding scam projects that will cause even more problems. You haven't responded to me yet about your scam video.
I will continue to hijack your comments section until you respond to the community about your scam video.
only question will there be voting for what to choose, or jerry will just choose himself
Today was the first day your comments came to my attention and I just made a response on the first one about the video at https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@jerrybanfield/best-alternative-to-usdt-steem-dollars-or-sbd.
The day after the video was posted @adept helped us clarify this which we collectively upvoted to $120 as seen at https://steemit.com/smt/@adept/vice-org-is-not-affiliated-with-vice-com-or-vice-media-according-to-penthouse-ceo.
I also posted a follow up video which clarifies this!
We all "make mistakes" together and success generally requires a willingness to make more mistakes than most.
The idea that FB could create a coin has been on my mind since joining Steem. How long would it take them to do this? They are still quite entrepreneurial over there but they are publically traded and the generally investing public might see it as a major hit to profitability...potentially crashing the stock price. Even if Mark Zuckerberg sees the potential could he convince the shareholders? It looks to me like Steem has the advantage in this regard.
The contributions from others consolidates the project's veracity
Anything for the community is a blessing.
We all need to bring our A game to put steem to the top.
Keep on steemit.
Hi Jerry,
Hen here from STEEMPUNK-NET.
Thanks for the funding! This is really awesome. We will thank you in more detail, I just wanted to say thank you now.
Unfortunately, since I am extremely busy this weekend, I can't write more.
Please continue the idea anyway. The idea is great and helps Steemit and STEEM.
Best regards
Hen
Hen thank you very much for being one of the first delegators and for submitting the first successful budget proposal for STEEMPUNK-NET along with stopping by to say you saw the funding!
Crowdfunding is evolving! Money making its way to the entrepreneur with as little friction as possible is changing the world. It is starting to look like traditional employment is a bubble. That is a scary statement and it makes be nervous to say that but it really looks that way. Finance has been experiencing this shift for a few years but the undeniable truth is that a very high percentage of old economy jobs exist only to facilitate a single wealth creating action. i.e. Middle men are not just macro parts of the economy like a broker but they also make up a large percentage of internal processes. Crowdfunding, blockchain and projects like this eliminates the need for most of this and makes the entrepreneur competitive with the big guys. This has been the trend since the internet started but ironically the trend will now threaten the firms that were seen as disruptors just a few years ago. i.e. FB, YouTube, Google, Instagram
The first day is always the awesome one but keeping up with a 62% APR is going to be impossible im curious where we will even out at any ideas?
Probably we will see ups and downs over time based on the Steem and SBD prices along with the activity of upvoters and delegations! We actually might see greater than 62% on some days/weeks while on others it might be 10% to 30%. We hope that for earning passive income in a way that helps our community grow, these Steem budget proposals will be useful! Anyone is welcome to contribute to any project as well!
Good job bro
Hey dear Jerry The Holly Monk and well wisher of whole Steemit Community, I wish you all the best on the behalf of whole Steemit Community as you and your delegator of Sp and team involved in this project is contributing their efforts effortlessly for the shake of whole Community.
It's a great idea and you guys are awesome.
Love you all.
So great! Awesome job Jerry I'm happy this is taking off so quickly. Keep it up, you're doing STEEM a great service!
Hi @jerrybanfield, iam really happy and enthusiastic about that sponsorship! This is boosting our motivation and we will work even harder to make this MMORPG a fantastic experience for everyone in which you really are able to earn money while playing.
Thanks alot, this idea in general will help to push us all to new heights!
Once iam back from my little trip over the weekend I will make sure that a delegation will be set up!
Kind regards
Jan
Thank you Jan we would be honored to have your delegation included! The third round of payments just went out today to delegators. The Steem power you have would have got about 40 Steem for a week or less!
Hi @jerrybanfield
I use 1 SBD to vote for this post https://busy.org/busy/@zmzngrg/pour-vivre-heureux-vivons-caches-version-bitcoin#comments.
On the steem bot tracker the vote value is 22.51$. You vote the post to 3.85$. Why?? Where's the rest of the money?
Bot tracker calculates the SBD value, so since you got 1.77 (50% of 3.85) in SBD, which are worth 12 dollars each, the 22.51 value is reached.
@icoinstant I'm sorry, but you're totally wrong. Bots pay in dollars not in SBD.
I'm sorry too, but you are totally wrong! Everything on this site is Steem powered. Anything that you think is dollars is an estimation.
It just so happens that the main estimation, that SBD is equal to USD, is very very wrong right now.
I would encourage you to read this article to confirm that I am totally right ;p
