Welcome all to this week's EDSvote update where we look at a range of different things. Please follow the 
What is EDSvote?
Eds-vote is an account that people can delegate HIVE POWER to. In return for their delegation, they will receive EDS tokens each Monday.
The delegated HP will be used to curate content on HIVE and provide small upvotes for those that hold over 100 EDS tokens. Delegating HIVE POWER to

Report #5
Finally, i have got this report on the right day at the right time. Its week 5 and its been a few weeks from i have done an update.
We can see below the results with have been getting. Even if the report is not uploaded, it is still done for tracking. The HIVE POWER being delegated in is around the same, curation rewards have been climbing and this week we almost hit the 8% hit target I have.
Let's have a look at the numbers in chart form as this is the best way to see performance and predict the future.
Incoming delegations took a dip a few weeks back, I guess changed their mind but it has recovered to around the same amount. It is still early days for EDSvote but hitting 100k would be an awesome target to hit by year's end.
I decided to change around some changes. I scraped and updates the account auto-voting so that people currently holding over 50 EDS will receive an upvote. These delegating over 1000 HP receive a bigger upvote and the rest is spread out between upvoting comments and manual curation. We have 1000 voting power each day and currently, 60-65% is automated and going toward EDS token holders and delegators. This can change at any time, we're not an upvoting service. It just happens that alot of our top delegators produce good content.
These are inline with the amount of HIVE POWER EDSvote has. We aim to hit around an 8% ROI. Our target based on HP would be 78.42 HP in curation rewards each week. We are a little under but still tweaking VP and finding a sweet spot.
EDSvote minted 37.5 EDS tokens this week. Based on a 180k EDS allocation, we have 92 years' worth of rewards. If we can hit 100k in HP delegation, we will mint twice as many EDS and rewards would last for 46 years. We dont plan to run EDSvote that long but we only live 60-80 years in general but that's ok, theres always a back up plan.
Round Up
The past few weeks have been good. I understand the EDSvote APY is not great so it's really good and confirming to see 50k HP being delegated in. I hope with the addition of giving out upvotes for those that support us, we can gather more HP and grow this beast.
As I said above, we dont want EDSvote to be lasting 90 years so there is a plan B. It will not involve delegating HP and EDSvote will remain the only way to get EDS through HP delegation. There are always other ways to distribute EDS but we're sticking with EDSvote till at last the end of the year before announcing anything else. EDS is a long time project so waiting 6 months is nothing.
We hope to keep getting new HP delegated in so we can earn more from curation, mint more EDS and give out occasional upvotes as the cherry on top. Thank you to everyone involved with EDS and the Saturday Savers club ran by
