The Mesopotamians System Status, Week 14

This is a weekly update of the status of @themesopotamians system.

Big change in the native SP this week as I converted the SBD we were holding at .71 and powered it up. We also started to see some curation rewards from my autovoter being slower than SteemAuto - even a minute or two made a difference - and next week we'll be seeing a larger increase from the move to fifteen minutes. While I'm still not thrilled with having that forced on us, it will help system sustainability quite a bit.

At the moment it's not clear what yesterday's outage is going to mean for the timing and implementation of HF20, and I want to wait to re-analyze the system to include curation rewards until we've spent at least a week or two under it to see how it goes. By that time maybe The Mesopotamians as a whole will be a minnow.

The Mesopotamians is a project to use ongoing support and gamification to encourage account growth and build a class of community-minded minnows and eventually dolphins. This project is run by @tcpolymath.

The Mesopotamians uses a six-level system of automated votes to encourage specific users to invest in their accounts and make community contributions. As a user progresses up the levels the value of vote they receive increases. Before advancing to each new level a user will be asked to envision, develop, and implement a new project with community benefit.

The Mesopotamians is an outgoing support initiative, not a vote-trading scheme. Support from our members is appreciated but not in any way required.

Users are chosen for the program by @tcpolymath in a completely-unfair and usually-opaque selection process based on what he thinks is important for the community and who he thinks would be a good dolphin someday. He's giving his own money away here so he's ok with that, but it's best to be upfront about it.
