Greetings, @JustinParke here with another ASEAN Hive VIP Delegator Raffle post, where I announce the winners and ramble a bit.

🌏 ASEAN Hive Community 🐃
🎟️ Delegator Raffle #144 🎰

^{March 16th, 2024}

     Hey folks, the weekly raffle is better late than never. I've found hardly any time to post from my own blog for nearly a month. My wife's health has not been good, neither my oldest daughter, so I've been reverting to house-husbanding instead of earning an income for the family. We're going through some serious difficulties in regards to my family's visas to the USA. I will perhaps explain that in a later post, but it likely means my wife going to the USA alone without me and our daughters, only because of inefficient and ignorant bureaucracy.

     Anyhow, we're all here for the raffle, so let's dive in. I still am uncertain of delegation activity and updates as my Hive wallet shows all delegations were created "a few seconds ago," so I guess Hive SQL is still malfunctioning. Well, I do know we are down in HP a little this week after losing some delegations. I hate to mute delegators, especially generous ones, but after repeated recommendations to engage and stop creating several daily low effort posts, these folks didn't want to change old habits.

     As ASEAN Hive grows, sustainability only becomes more and more important, and posting low effort content and not engaging genuinely is not a way to bring value to our little Hive space. In the next few weeks it's likely I will have to remove a few more community members, but it's all for the better good and future of the community, and I don't enjoy doing these things. Congratulations to this week's winners, and thank you all for making ASEAN Hive the awesome place it has become.

How The VIP Delegator Raffle Works

     Every raffle I tally the total HP delegated to the @asean.hive curation account, and one raffle ticket is allocated for each HP delegated by you ASEAN Hivers (excluding [me] @justinparke, @srey-yuu, @sakana & @sreypov), with a minimum delegation of 50 HP to be eligible for the ASEAN Hive VIP 🥉 BRONZE Raffle.

     There are five separate raffles, one for each VIP tier, and each tier's prize is a post beneficiary status equivalent to the tier's total percentage of raffle tickets allocated. This means the percentages of each tier's share of the prize is fluid, and I think it makes the raffle more fun and fairer.

     This week's total effective HP is 168,563, and total delegated HP is 154,019 HP (117,410 HP minus ASEAN team member delegations & delegations under 50 HP), so I plugged the numbers into my Raffle Picker iOS app, selected "pick winners," and the results were instantly and randomly calculated.
