With unfortunate news we will be ceasing operation of Gold Monkey, the decision has been a hard one. The down fall has been a few things, the lack of sales, too many people relying on contests, the price of steem and the last nail is the hf21 that will make leases more expensive and give less rewards to our members.
We are still comitted to paying out the the rewards that have been collected, we started off with 3 mods and we all pumped in 300 steem each with a huge loss but that is what happens sometimes but we have been giving huge upvotes while we have been active and if you blogged everyday you will have seen a positive return on your GMB units.
We are going to let the leases run out and after 1 week of that happening we will start a power down, once the 13 week power down schedule is complete we will pay all steem that is due to members, we will put out a post in a few days with what people are roughly going to receive.
Here are few alternatives to consider if you require a little bit of a kick start for your posts:

I just want to say Thank you to all delegaters and paid members, we have had a blast and hopefully everyone still enjoys the journey of the amazing steem blockchain.
