So these where the Awesome Daily Spotlight posts and videos this week, and there is 1 such post or video per day, it gets a 100% upvote and resteem, and it is featured in the Awesome Daily report as well as in this Awesome Weekly Spotlight post, plus it also gets promoted on Twitter.

Thank you very much for reading this post and for supporting this project, it is run by @flaxz, and the goal is to "highlight Awesome Content, and growing the Steem ecosystem by rewarding it".

Rewards On Delegations

In order to attract delegations to this project we reward them with daily upvotes, and you can check the details in our latest Awesome Daily report, and also with payouts in SBI Units, and 100% of all liquid Steem and SBD earnings will go to rewarding delegators this way, leased Steem Power does not count for rewards in SBI Units, and neither does the delegation from @flaxz, since he is the owner of this project.

So on Sundays all SBD will be traded for Steem in the Steemitwallet market, and the Steem that has then been earned that week will be split between delegators according to their delegation status, and it's counted in full week delegations from Sunday to Sunday, plus partial week delegations will be added for every full days delegation they may have.

SBI Units will then be paid out once a delegator has full coverage for that according to their share of the earnings, and any remaining shares will roll over to the next week.

We have also started to give out 50% of our CTP token earnings to SP delegators, the other 50% will be staked, this is a high value token, and giving out 50% makes it more attractive to delegate and as we stake the other 50% we continue to build our stake in that token and our CTP voting value.

This Is The Rewards For This Weeks Delegations

The standing in our account right now is 2.806 Steem, and we had a rollover from last week of 2.340 Steem, which means that this weeks earnings is 0.466 Steem, but only 0.464 Steem can be divided, so 0.002 Steem will rollover and be included in next weeks earnings.

We also have earnings of 242 CTP tokens of which 50% will be paid out to our delegators and the other 50% staked, that means 121 CTP tokens to be split between our delegators.

Name	Delegation SP	Delegation %	Ingoing Rollover	Rewards	Total Rewards	Payout	Outgoing Rollover	CTP Payout
@cryptospa	111 SP	30.66 %	0.854 Steem	0.142 Steem	0.996 Steem	0 SBI	0.996 Steem	37.099 CTP
@alokkumar121	51 SP	14.09 %	0.792 Steem	0.065 Steem	0.857 Steem	0 SBI	0.857 Steem	17.049 CTP
@roger5120	200 SP	55.25 %	0.694 Steem	0.257 Steem	0.951 Steem	0 SBI	0.951 Steem	66.852 CTP
Total	362 SP	100%	2.340 Steem	0.464 Steem	2.804 Steem	0 SBI	2.804 Steem	121 CTP

Congratulations!

Delegate to this project using Steem Bot Tracker.

Our Tokens

We also have tokens in Steem-engine, and our general policy regarding tokens is that we stake all tokens that we get, given that they are stakeable and if not they will be staked once that is available, the exception is CTP tokens since we give out 50% of those earnings to our delegators, but we do stake the other 50%.

If there is any token that you think we should vote with but which we do not currently have, then feel free to delegate some, or gift it if delegation is not available, as stated above all tokens we get will be staked.

Token delegation does not count for any delegation rewards, but we will vote with them if the posts that we vote on include the relevant tags.

These are our current token holdings in Steem-engine, screenshot taken in Steempeak wallet.

The screenshots where taken before and after payouts and staking of CTP tokens.

So our CTP stake continues to grow and is now at 1680, and Sports is now 315, and Marlians finally got over 100 and is now 107.

And the other tokens are also growing their stake, but quite slowly so far.

Final Thoughts

So earnings in liquid Steem was down considerably this week, but also to be expected with the new rewards curve and the 50/50 rewards to authors/curators, plus considering that the blockchain was down for part of the period when the posts was made that we now got a payout on.

What was up a lot is curation rewards which gets paid out in SP, take a look at the Statistics in Steemworld.

Screenshot from SteemWorld.

So curation rewards are now higher than the combined Steem/SBD/SP author rewards, and that is a first.

This is #newsteem in action, and as we move forward that should improve.

And with our recent changes where we also pay out delegators in CTP tokens, the less earnings in Steem and thereby also less payouts in SBI units should already be compensated for.

But we must also consider that all changes in behaviour on the blockchain has mostly taken place during the last week, so author rewards should be up a bit next week compared to this one.

Well that's all thoughts for this week.

Stay Awesome!

Sincerely,
This Is Awesome
