Montlhy Steemuntiloundup!
It's that time of the month again and MAW is hungry! Another Steem collection round is active until the end of the month. MAW's big lease filled and we are back to 20K Whoohoo!
Check the chart and decide your level. If you are someone who posts daily then think of upgrading ;) Should be well worth it, we will be at 20K for the whole of November.

MAW 2.0
Ladies and gents, welcome to the new and improved MAW. MAW has been around for more than a year now and it has worked pretty well for most of the members. The only flaw that MAW had was that it could not allow many new members to join. So with this update we will be tweaking settings and rules in order to let new members join.
All the old members do not have to delegate according to the new rules (the joining delegation). The voting weights will be slightly lower in order to allow more VP for new members.
New members can join by delegating a minimum of 150 SP and taking part in the daily upvote on
Old rules for joining still apply: the minimum amount of SP required (500) and a Steemit Reputation of at least 50. In the case where you do not have the minimum amount of SP to upvote or delegate then we can look at paying a direct steem fee. (This is not advised since it is only profitable if you post daily)
Upvote Brackets:
The way the upgrades work will now also change to accommodate the new members. The upvote weights and values will decrease, but so will the fees. For example, each upvote bracket will equal 150SP. Then to double up on your upvote weight you can delegate 300 SP, triple will be 450SP and so on. I also decided that those who want to delegate to get larger upvotes will also get a slight bonus percentage.
Current weights
| Level | Upvote Weight | Bonus | Final upvote % | Upvote worth | After lease gets filled |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Basic upvote | - | 6.60% | $0.06 | |
| #2 | 2 x Basic upvote | x1.1 | 14.52% | $0.13 | |
| #3 | 3 x Basic upvote | x1.125 | 22.28% | $0.20 | |
| #4 | 4 x Basic upvote | x1.15 | 30.36% | $0.27 | |
| #5 | 5 x Basic upvote | x1.175 | 38.78% | $0.35 | |
| #6 | 6 x Basic upvote | x1.2 | 47.52% | $0.42 |
Made some slight adjustments. The voting weights are quite lower but I need to see what the VP will do at current rates. Please bear with me while I test and finetune the new system a bit. =)
Weights can change weekly depending on member activity and post count. Paying Steem for the higher upvote will still be done monthly, the fee will be worked out according to lease rates and will be updated one week before the end of each month.
No wasted VP:
Now that we are updating the upvote weights weekly, we will keep track of how many members post and how many outgoing upvotes. With the data I will make room for a little more Voting Power regeneration and slightly lower upvote weights. With the extra VP we will start selling some upvotes via Smartsteem. 90% of the SBD/STEEM generated from the vote selling will then be used to lease more SP for MAW, the other 10% will be powered up. So even though the upvote weights are a little lower, the upvote value will increase over time.
This is indeed all experimental and might change if something does not work. I will always have our members in mind and want the project to be worth it for everyone. =)
